Much time has been expended in elaborate
nrepalation for the Centennial celebration OF
tbe organization of this State, aad the at
fair is to take place to-day at Kings
ton. Among the speakers announced are
Judge Wcstbrook, Chauncey NJ Dcpew
and Gen. George A. Sharpe. Many in
tercsting historical "reminiscences will be con-
tributed on the occasion, and ex-Gov. Sey-
moui's letter, of which some passages are
given elsewhere, will be one of several essays
presented. recounting the virtues aud wisdom
of the founders of NewYOrk.
Leniency TO the mob Of strikers and sympathy
with them on the part of the populace were
the chief factors.in swelling the recent troubles
in Homellsville. Our correspondence from
that place describes some Of the phases
of this weakness, and shows that prompt,
firm measures might have averted the
disaster. The leader of the HOrnellSyille
strikers. now in Ludlow Street Jail, evidently
imagines Judging from his talk, that the strk-
ers whom he controlled had a legal night to inter
fere with the running Of trans, and to use force
in stopping the business Of the road. 1t is to
be hoped that his trial will show to these people
what the law is which he and his associates have
been breaking.

Mr.. Laurence, the Receiver Of the American
Popular Life Insurance Company, has, It is
stated. applied to the Court for the relief Of
class of pohcy-boders who have been sadly
cheated. The American Popular, like the 9TH
or life insurance companies that have recently
spccumbed. has been doing q large business in
exchanging old policies for new ones, deluding
the unfortunate owners Of those documents
with the belief that they were benefited by
the exchange. The simple fact in such cases Is
that the Company is thus freed nom the obi
cation to retain the funds that were the
security Of the old policy; the new document
j.. therefore, comparatively yalueleSs. But as
the consent of the pOllcy-hcldcrS has been gwen
70 the change, il may prove difficult to rem
state them in their original rights unless it
can be clearly proved that they were sUlndled
Inv MISREPRESENTATION decision in favor Of
such claimants will be a new starting-pont in
Iife-insurance ltigations IN any event, II Is Il
matter in which some thousands OF people who
have claims on broken insurance companies
will be deeply interested.
The statement that a large number OF men
mean enough to discharge an emplOye for sery-
inc IN the militia in defence of the community
had been found in the City Of Newly DIRK, was
almost too monstrous for belief 1t is crafty
inc to learn that the report was greatly
exaggerated, but it had substantial
foundation. nevertheless. and we commend to
tho attention of our fellow-citizens two mer-
cant,le firms which appear TO have distin-

manner. One of the thrifty tradesmen IN

New Orleans Times; The hundreds OF
unemployed and dissatisfied men in
this section as well rs througout the
south generally, are ripe for such a
crisis as seems to be toreshadowed in
the latest frontier events. Nothing
could more firmly establish the popus
larity OF the administration and secure
the reign Of peace in the south than
the establishment of such a safety valve
as this possible Mexican war would be-
There is not neighborhood in the
south but would furnish the nucleus Of
regiment of Confederate veterans
trained to service, eager for renewal of
the bivouac and battle chapters of their
past, and irresistible upon the field,
Here in New Orleans the government
could recruit almost instantly an adj
vance brigade Of experienced soldiers
who could take the field at mo.
ments notice. The enthusiasm which
has burst into a flame at the very mems
ton Of hostilitics is indication enough
for the state of public sentiment. The
government may depend that New Or
leans would respond in overlooking
measure to any call for n rally on the
Rio Grande

Edwin Booth writes ~ follows to
William Winter; "As often M my
duties permit | visit poor Adams
nearly every day, The DEAR good hoy
patiently cndures the tortures of his
terrible disease, The hearts OF all who
see him now, and who know how free
his life has been from III towards 9th,
ers, must RGhe-as mine does. Like
McrcWiO, he gaeps forth an occasional
jest; yet reverently realizes the awfus
ness Of his position. His clear con.
science, and his mind sparkling with
harmless mrlh, break now and then
through the clouds which gather closer
and closer daily about his poor, frail
body. There is not even passing
shadow on the soul whose greatest sin
was the neglect OF It's tenement. Heis
thoughtful md resigned; and oh 30
patient in the midst of his great suffer.
ings His chief regard Is for his wife,
who is most devoted to him, and who
has nursed him for eighteen months as
only loving woman can do God
grant that the promised pecuniary re.
lief at least may be afforded herr

San Antonio Express: Mr. l.. c.
WurzbaCh is no longer q dishelieVer in
the intutiye perception Of insects. A
few days ago n lot of small red ants
made their appearance in one Of the
rooms of his residence in great num-
bers, many of them burdened with
eggs which they had originally depos
tied in their subterrauean home in the
yard. They were carefully watched
and their object in moving studio /.
They were observed to go underneath
a large trunk which sat in the room,
and it was presently raised to see what
the insects we're doing under it. 1t
was found that they were leaving their
eggs there. They were not DISTURBED,
and Mr.. Wurzbach continued to study
their movements. He anticipated That
the intuition Of the insects had led
them to remove their eggs to a place
OF safety, fearing rain, and this proved
true. 1t was not long before a heavy
shower fell, and the anti bed in the
yard was flooded but the instinct of
the little bugs had saved them flom
any loss they had removed indoors
to keep dry. After the rain was over,
and when the skies were clear, they
returned to their outside home. Mr..
Wurzbach has thrown away his ha
rometcr, and will hereafter be guided
by these little ants in making his rain

The wild Men of Java Have No Kan
gmnEe hut Cries.

b Dr. Henry NJ Field tells in the
Evangelist Of his travels in Java He
says this part of the world would de.
light Mr. Darwin by the strange races it
contains, some of which approach the
animal tribes. In the island of RHO
the resident assured me there were
wild men who lived in trees, and had no
language but cries, and in Sumatra, the
resident Of Palembang said there were
men who lived in the forests, with
whom not only the Europeans, but even
the Malays, could have no intercourse
lie himself had never seen one Yet,
strange to say, they have petty traffic
with the outside world, yet not through
the medium of speech. They live in
the woods, md live 10y the chase. They
hunt tigers, not with the gun, but with
arrows, which they blow out of tube
with such force. and which are so keen
of point. and touched with such deadly
poison, that wound is almost immedi.
ately fatal. These tiger skins or ele>
phant tusks they bring for barter-not
Tor sale-lor they never sell anything,
for money is about the most useless
thing they could have; they can not eat
it. or drink it, or wear it. But as they
have wants, they exchange yet they
themselves are never seen. They
bring what they have to to the edge OF
the forest. and leave it there, and the
Malays come AID place what they have
to dispose of, and retire If the offer Is
satisfactory, when they return again
they find what they brought gone, and
take what is left and depart. II not,
they add few tribes more to tempt
the eyes of these wild men of the woods,
and so at least the exchange is effected
yet all the while the sellers keep them>
selves invisible. This mode OF barter
argues great honesty on both sides.
