ALTHOUGH the dog days are just end
ed, many hcusekeepers are considering
how they may make things pleasant for
winter. Next to the dress question, the
subject of stoves and heaters is dearest
to the feminine heart. Some ladies are
unhappy unless they have one or two
new heaters or ranges each year. The
articles which, last fall, were voted just
the thing, lost all their novelty before
Christmas, and when Advent season ar
rived with its delicate flowers, the stoves
were carried off to the auction room and
sold for song. You see there are ma
ny reasons why housekeeping is costly.
Some of our friends complain that their
noses are kept ION the grindstone,"
and yet they indulge in such trifing va
carries as spending about one hundred
dollars each, per annum, for ornament
al heaters, warranted to consume but
trifling quantity of coal, but which, in
point of fact, often require great deal
of fuel and afford very little warmth.

MANTED-A MoRK-HousE.

The amount of vagrancy, drunken
ness and petty crime now existing and
brought to notice of the Police Court is
keeping the County Jail full to over
flowing, Notwithstanding the weekly
sessions of the Lower Court. The
County is thus burdened with host of
prisoners who pass their period of in
generation in sheer and idle improduc-
tiveness, while in most cases their fami-
lies, too, become q charge upon the
authorities. Ii q workhouse were built,
the culprits' earnings would afford some
compensation for the cost of maintain
ing them and their families, besides be-
ing infinitely better for them than iy-
ing in demoralizing idleness.

"No cards." is the frequent an
nouncement to the marriage notice /;
and now comes d" No carriages" to the
funeral notice, in some instances. Why
not I? A great funeral, in these latter
days, has become more expensive than
a marriage. and marriage often costs
enough to start young man in a pros
porous business. The pomp and show
that leads to the grave, where the flow
ers displayed are only more perishable

mentary ON human fashions and human

THE ooMpTRo LLER IN A BRoIL.

A prominent city official became en-
gagged in broil with prominent Fifth
warder at the court house yesterday
morning. Ahern poured hot shot into
the comptroller, and the latter retorted
sharply, altogether the scene was dis
graceful. Each called the other hard
names, and the only thing which the
spectators regretted was that neither
had the courage to horsewhip or shoot
the other. For a time the crowd be-
lieved that pistol shots would be ex-
changed but the 'white feather" show
ed itself too plainly. They could be-
rate each other, but as for fighting out
their difficulties squarely," they new
er thought of such thing. Rumor has
it that they are to fight on Railway ave.

SICKNESS, as many of Us well know, is
generally attended with good deal of
expense. In many instances, physi-
clans bills are formidable enough to
vex the soul of capitalist No one will
insist, l suppose, that our physicians
are more skillful than those of Trenton,
and other Jersey cities. Why, then, I
should like to know, do Elizabeth ply

it true, as some assert, that Trenton
