Ex-Alderman Terence Farley, of New
York, well-kn wn politician and specu-
lative builder, has gone in bankruptcy ;
liabilities, $4,000; secured by real es-
tate 100000; assets valued at $4,000,
all mortgaged.
Adelaide NJ. Delavalette, mistress Of a
large Fifth Avenue clearinghouse, has
also fled her petition. She owes $685.
500; her only assets boarders' debts,
amounting to $4,000, and worthless.
Her boarders were all once wealthy per
sons. Had it not been for the repeal of
the bankrupt law she would have waited
and tried to pay her debts.
Edward Mallahan, ex-champion of Cal
ifornia. has gone into bankruptcy also ;
liabilities $4,000; no assets.
Such are only a few cases among hun
dreds that are daily occurring in the vari-
GUS cities of America, for bankruptcy
seems to be the desideratuns, the cause
being the near approach of the day when
its benefits ~ can no longer be claimed.
On the LIST of September the act repeal
ing the bankrupt law will take effect.
For about three weeks yet we shall learn
of numerous failur es, and after that pc
Rod we shall begin to believe that times
are better, and that prosperity shall
once more rel gn supreme over all inter-
ests in the land. The wisest so predict
it, and there is no reason why it should
not be so.

Coming Events.


The political horizon of Morris County
begins to assume an aspect of coming
weather." the state of which will depend
much upon the strength and solidity OF
the floating cloud caps which hover over
head, apparently subject to the caprices
of unsteady winds. And if it be true
that looming events cast their shadows
BEFORE we may soon look for an album
dant crop of shadows.
The Offices of Sheriff and County
Clerk seem to command unusual atten-
ton the coming Fall, and we learn OF
several local politicians, of both parties,
who express decided willingness to serve
their County in either one or the other
of these desirable positions. The former
office has been shorn OF some of its
most corpulent perquisites, yet there
still remains enough to tempt the best
efforts of aspiring candidates. The
Clerkship is desirable, both on account
of its directly remuneratiVe features and
its commanding position. There are
being mentioned names upon both sides,
many of which would undoubtedly honor
the County, if elected. But, there is one
thing patent to all ;-gentlemen, you
can not all sit on the top rail this time,
and if, in view of this fact, some Of you
would step down, you would thereby do
credit to yourselves, and do much
towards insuring the permanent strength
of the rail.
He who stoops to conquer, loses all in
conquering.

At last "peace, sweet peace" has been
restored to the sorely-tried people of
the faithful island " of Cuba, after a
bitterly inhuman and savage warfare of
fifteen years duration but peace not
attended with that absolute indepen-
dence for which they SO long and terribly
struggled and suffered against the most
tyrannioal and persistently relentless
foe that ever waged war. The Cubans
are encouraged to cultivate the soil by
being supplied with army Stores" and
are to have a representative in the
Spanish Cortes but, best of all, there is
q prospect Of the positive abolition OF
slavery. Cuba has passed the dreadful
ordeal, and though falling to establish
what she undertook, she has, unaided by
any other power, to her noble honor and
credit, accomplished, nay, won an era OF
peace which will doubtless be of lasting
nature and rebound to her infinite pros
perity.

A REMARKABLE SToRY.-An almost
Incredible story is related of Marshal
Canrobert, who was sent to Rome to rep
resent France at the funeral of Victor
Emmanuel and the accession to the throne
Of Humbert For the expenses of him
self and suit he was given 10000 francs,
t (which he spent only $4,000 On his re-
turn home he went to the foreign office
and handed to the minister of that de-
partment the balance, amounting to II, :
40 francs. The minister refused to take
the money, saying that there was no pre-
cedent for such thing that the outlay
was made aud accounted for, and that
-here was an end to it. The marshal
answered that if it was absolutely neces-
Sary that somebody should steal this
money he would rather some one else
should do it, and asked for a receipt
such is the story, and as Canrobert was
born in 1900, before defrauding the pub
lie was considered no robbery, it is posi-
hle it may be true.-Bdt. Sun.
