Sunday morning. Mrs. Mary Ely, widow of
the late Jonathan Ely. Esq., reading on
Bridge st., Now Hope became 50 excited in
consequences Of the fire at Cooks barn, that
she died in about an hour after the fire broke
out. Shewas of a very nervous temperament

previous occasions. Attic fire at Mr.. Scar
borough's barn, in New Hope, some time
since, she was SO seriously affected that she
was not expected to live. Her funeral took
place this morning. She was inferred in the
Solebury Fricnd'sburying ground. +
The scoundrel who set fire to Mr.. Cooks
barn can credit himself not only with destroy
ing valuable property, but with being the
means of causing the death of an estimable
woman. seS

GIN.-During the late sessions of our Coun-
ty Court at Pennington, gentleman interest
ed in the fortunes of Mr.. Pidcock, kept top
en- house, land had quite a "gin palace " on
a small scale in his room at one of the hotels,
and when he treated persons he very blandly
asked them to give his friend a lift. Some one
of his friends, it is asserted, paid the fines and
scostsEof the men from this cityrwhe were con-
victed of selling liquor Illegally. If Mr. Pid-
cock is anything like the men who worked for
HIM, he will make nice Representative of the
people of Hunterdon County 1t can hardly
be possible that he was ignorant of the opera
tions of his intimate friends, even if he did
not furnish the means to carry Oh operations

e- "The man who has the most money, or
who at least spends it the most freely is Ger
tain of a nomination, irrespective of charae-
ter, while respectable men and men of capacity
who viii not condescend to such practices to
obtain votes, have no chance whatever"
The above honest admission is from the
Lambertuttle Record. 1t is just what we have
been saying ever since the Republican party
has been in power, but we hardly expected
the Record to say as much. To prove that the
assertion is incontrovertible, look at the noni-
nation of Gen. HartranCt, for Governor of
Pennsylvania, old John I. Blair and Cornelius
Walsh for Governor of this State, and in short
at all the Republican nominations, both great
and small, for years past. 1t is a healthy sign
of the ItimesF when such bitter partisans as
the editor Of the RECORD A"speak ortSin meet
in, - go v,,.
The above is from the Iia,stsrtloai Demo
crat Those who read our last weeks issue
will see that the editor of that paper has taken
an extract from THE RECORD referring to the
Democratic caucus, and attempted to palm
.it:off as d refefence by us TO tile Republican
party. He knows that this extract is true of
his own party, caucus as conducted for some
time past and the attempt to palm it off up
on his readers as something else is neither
honorable nor shrewd. 1t is however, q very
easy way of disposing Of an article that can,
not be truthfully gainsaid.

HERALD has far surpassed every newspaper. It
has not merely secured German correspondents
but has selected them from among the chieiest
stars OF the German Hterdti. The names OF Auer-
bach and Louisa Mnhlbach are as well known In
Germany and wherever German Is spoken as the
names OF George Eliot and Thackeray are to Anglo
Saxons. And thus we see daily newspaper with
two OF the leading writer's OF great country ON its
staT No wonder that the enthusi asm Of the Teu-
tons was boundless, and that praises more numer-
GUS than ever were showered by the lager lovers
ON the energetic journal; no wonder that the
sale OF the paper was close on two hun
dred thousand copies, and yet failed TO satisfy
the demand. Carrying out In full its idea, the
HERALD has not only presented It's English-speak-
ing readers with translation OF Auerbach's and
Mulhbach's accounts, but has obtained per cable,
extracts from the various German papers tnat have
spoken of the Exhibition thus illustrating the feel
ing in Europe on this subject.
But while thus remembering and providing for
the interests OF the German element OF the popula-
tion, the proprietor has not forgotten the other
classes OF the community and, through the cee-
brated novelist, Edmund Yates, gives an account
OF the show from an English point of view, while
through John Russell Young it offers an American
estimate OF the Exhibition. Be it understood too,
that In order to give the utmost freshness to
these long reports they are every one OF
them, telegraphed rom the Austrian capital to
New York. Assuredly one is justified in admiring
such genuine energy, such undoubted enterprise,
and it is only fair to award the need of praise
when it has been well won. The New YORK
HERALD, so far as prompttude and action are
concerned, has placed itself far ahead OF all It's
fellows, and in this Exhibition correspondence
maintains the distinction 1t acquired by its cee-
brated Stanley expedition.
1t would be intere sting to enter on study of
figures In connection with those enterprises but it
is doubtful whether some of the amounts would be
credited by many who are accustomed to the old
plan of doing things "on the cheap" The HER AID
disbeieves in this system and avishes its funds lib
orally. Truly, its returns are enor nous.

doubt arsenic would be found. He did not know OF
any investigation being made. He would not give

House construed the law on It's proper intent, to
take effect next New Years Day. The Collector at
Baltimore, Md, however, put his own construction
thereon. and compelled the importers to appraise
values at the increased rate. Yesterday circular
letter from secretary Richardson, received by Col.
lector Arthur, settled the matter in the proper
manner and according to the true intention OF
Congress, by ordering the law TO go into effect as
provided. The amount OF money overpaid by the

most exciting and highly dramatic scene oc.
Cured at Trinity Episcopal church in this city to-
day. The Sunday Times published one OF its series
OF "Waks Among the Churches" In which it
criticised Rev. Edward Sullivan, pastor, and ex-
posed several members OF his congregation. A
Times reporter went to the morning service to re.
port the sermon Of Mr.. Sullivan. Before he began
to preach the following dialogue occurred, both
pastor and reporter speaking in tones audible to
the entire congregations

II the gentleman who sits before me taking notes

REPORTER-I do, sir.
RECToR-Then | request you to dcsist from re-
REPoRTER-I cannot consclentiously comply with
your request; have duty to perform and must
The rector then stated to the congregation that
he had not read the article, but from the scurrous
nature OF the series OF its kind which preceded 1t
he presumed II was an indecent attack on the con-
gregation and, therefore, he took this course. He
then began his sermon.
Again the reporter commenced taking notes
The rector again ceased preaching, and, address
ing the reporter, said, II meant for you to desst.
REPoRTER-I cannot do so. While l am here

And so the reporter took his things and left. The
clergyman, however, assured the reporter that he
had no individual feeling against him. but only
spoke TO him in his official capacity as representa-
tive OF the Times.
The affair creates much excitement, and the
cergyman's lack Of dignity Is severely commented
upon and the Times enjoys the sensation, while
those who are the subjects OF the Times criticisms
are suffering, knowing that everybody Will now
read the article and that their faults Will be known

THE EIGHTH WARD TRAGEDY.
Jackson, the Suspected Murderer, still
At Large.

The bloody tragedy In the Eighth ward, which
came to light on saturday morning, was yesterday
the allabsorbing topic OF conversation in the dis
trict in which 1t occurred The colored citizens OF
the ward are greatly excited over the supposed
MURDER and the opinion Is pretty freely expressed
among them that Jackson Is the man who Is ae-
countable Tor the death OF the unfortunate woman.
Jackson has for some years been Noted
police. He Is man Of more than six feet high, Of
very dark complexion, with very thick lips, and his
whole appearance is so remarkable that he cannot
hope to escape the vigorous search which has been
Instituted for MIN. IL Is scarcely probable that
jackson Is still III the city, as he was last seen In
Thirty first street early on saturday morning, and
as II was supposed that he drew some money
which he had deposited In the Dime Savings Bank
he has likely got away. The police are upon his
track, and have discovered where his relatives live
and what his real name Is, as Jackson is an
alias, but they wish to keep those points secret
until they have secured their man.

The nsurgent frigates Numancia and Mendez

mander of the Numancia admits that there was a
serious loss of life his vessel during the lombard
ment of Alicante last Saturday. IL IL generally be-
eved that the failure of the insurgents TO capture
Alicante will cause the immediate surrender of Car
tagena, thus ending the Intransgente Instruction.
The town of Berga, which at one time was IN dan

reinforced and supplied with provisions and ammu-
milton.
The Calists in the North have recently met with
a series of damaging reverses. Discomfort and de-

However the military demonstration yesterday was OF
the most brilliant and impressive character. All inc
heroes of the Prussan army present and the whole
history Of the past decade moved with the Emperor I'M
der the light OF a kindly Hardly an Important
event in the late hardly battles skirmlsh, cav

these names recall countless bloody fields Of victory
Twenty thousand soldiers on the square some OF

There was for example, the First Grenaders which was

Uhans OF the Guard which, with the Zethen Hussars
turned the tide OF battle at sadOwa. The troops never
looked finer marched better and the old monarch had
right to be proud of :hem he rode along their solid
fronts.
The Norddeutsche ALl0emeine Zeting draws a
characteristic moral from this festival. II was
1t observes, the last act Of the Prussian army
as such. The army Of the King has now
been merged in the army Of the Empire, ana
henceforth there will be German but no Prussian
army The Prussian system has now been established
throughout Germany, with some reservations In ia
varia army and inspection districts ignore state
lines the flag question gave less difficulty than 1t gives
France and under the provision which gives the En-
peror absolute control OF the military forces this branch

Prussian army has been merged in the German army
says the journal Prince Bismarck, but 1t might be
more correct to say that the German army has been
fused n with the Prussan. That is however question
of words and the fact any case the same. The
Norddeutsche ARgeneine Zetttng does not mean, OF
course that there was yesterday formal abdcaton by
the Prussan army but that the completion OF the monu
may also complete the history of the old
regime and put end therefore, to the existence OF
an army distinct from that OF the Empire This Is Bis
marcks theory OF the sort OF evolution out OF which Is TO
come a compact and durable German State
