New jerseys Meanest.

A young man well known about Mill
stone is in the habit of riding to and
from New Brunswick in the cars. One
Saturday night not long ago he was in
New Brunswick, without penny in his
pocket, and wanted to get home. He
told the conductor his situation. and
asked to be passed over the road, and
he would pay when he returned on Mon
day. The conductor, knowing the
young man we'll, acceded to his request.
When the fellow reached home he wrote
a plausible letter to the railroad COM
pany, to the effect that they had better
be looking after their interests on that
road, as the conductor was in the habit
OF passing his friends free, whereupon
the conductor was suspended and is now
out OF employment. -Sonaervalle (N.

Important Decision as to Printing
Presses.

In 1873 the New York Times import
ed from England and put in operation
printing press known as the Walter
press, and similar to those used in the
London Times Office. The Bullock
Printing Press Company, believ-
ing that in important features this
English press infringed their patent,
brought an action against the proprie-
tors of the New York Times in the
United States Circuit Court for this dis
trict, which, after four years of litiga-
ton, finally resulted, last week, in a
decree in favor of the Bullock Company,
and an injunction restraining the Times
from using the patented device for the
infringement of which the action was
brought. -NeaO York sam.

But Rosa had gone, nevertheless, and,
for her disobedience, had received pun
ishment. Her little human nature had
rebelled, and hence her removal to Mrs.
Collingwood's.
The two ladies, though not on an
equality as far as wealth and position in
society were concerned, were warm
friends. In cultivation they were equals;
in grace and the ornament Of meek
and quiet spirit" Mrs. Ray was, per-
haps, superior.
The child was bond of sympathy
between them; and, after the death Of
May, Mrs. Collingwood's interest in
Rosa was deepened into affection.
Mrs. Collingwood watched Rosa for
signs Of relenting with almost mothers
anxiety.
AS twilight fell, Rosa went often to
the bow window commanding {, view of
the rose-embowered cottage across the
way.
Once she caught a glimpse of her
mother, and, somehow, the sight of her
face caused an aching sensation at her
heart but she was not yet ready to
yield.

undress and put her to bed" said Mrs.
Collingwood, pleasantly.
Rosa's head dropped very low.

Mrs. G. found beautiful embroidered
night dress that was Mays, and put it
on her; but beauty and elegance had
lost their charms for her. Rosa only
drew an audible sigh when robed for the
night and placed in the lady's soft bed;
and the sigh ended in a sob she vainly
tried to smother. Mrs. Collingwoods
ears were quick to hear.
"What is the matter, my dear?"
IT want mamma"
"You gave yourself to me; you are
my little daughter. "
:" I want mamma. Sob, sob.)
"What do you want her for ?"

tan't sleep here.
Mrs. Collingwood could not resist
such pleading, and she dressed her &C
cordingly, and accompanied her home.
Mrs. Ray stood in the vine-wreathed
porch, waiting.
" Mamma, Rosa's tired, and has tum
home to live all the time. Rosa will be
good"

Need we inform our little readers that
this was Rosa's first and last attempt at

Primary Elections.


FRIEND Stokes: l did think would not
say word in the campaign of 1878, but have
noticed tho programme Of the State and County
Executive Committees and am impelled to give
you one of my objections to it. BY it oil the
voters in the Primary elections, If that is agreed
upon, must be enrolled members of Democrat
ic Club, and none others are saIlDwtl DO Sose at
said seisSuSns. Now, you dadall VIZ wish to
give fair election, must let each Township de-
6fdea itNsSbe shall vote, if, at the election
thoy EAslD DeShat they are democrats In this
Township I believe that not more than one-half
the democrats will enrol themselves as members
of q club, although they are as good and true
democrats rs can be found in the State. Here
tofere the clubs have passed resolution upon
resolution, but scarcely ever stuck to them, ex-
c,pt in the vote. know the answer to this
will be, that is nil we want; but don't you
know men who stand upon an openly 4vowed
expression, and if such be the programme there
will not be more than half the democratic voters
of Union County represented in the clubs? Is
the programme, in this respect, just and equit-
able?
Let us be represented by delegates according
If that standard for voting is adopted, you will
see full and fair democratic vote at the Prima
ry elections and also at the polls next Fall,
while peace and harmony would prevail all
along the line
Mr.. Editor, if we would insure success to the
coming campaign, we must harmonize, equalze
and systematize in every possible way. l know
it will be said that the plan laid down by the
Committees will be rs fair for one section as an
other but there may be some d;scord in one
section and none in many others, and that is
one of the reasons for my suggesting that each
Township make its own standard for voting ut
Primary elections. l am fearful the restriction
to enrolled members of Clubs will drive many
good men from our ranks or at least cause much
dissatisfaction, if the nominations do not please
thom. expect to 60 into the full organization,
but know the feelings of the people in my
township, CITIZEN.

LIVER Is KING.-Thc Liver is the imperial or
gan of the whole human system, rs it controls
the life, health and happiness of man. When
it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are the natural result. The digestion
of food, the movements of the heart and blood,
the action OF the brain and nervous system, are
all Immediately connected with the workings of
the liver. 1t has been successfully proved that

VERY Coon REAsoN.-The reason why only
one sample bottle of MERRELL's HEPArINE for
the Liver will be sold to the same person, for
ten cents, by our Druggists, GlBBES s. CO., is
because Of the enormous expense of importing
the Hepatine into this country but as there
are fifty doses in the large size bottle, it seems
two cents per dose is cheap enough after oil for
n medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver com
plant. All who have not had sample bottle

John Morrssey, the noted gugilist and poll

deceased was q remarkable man, and from
the Influence he welded, and the honors con-
ferred upon him while living, by his feow-clt-
izens, and the respect paid to his memory, we
are bound to believe, that he had some good
qualities and traits of character, which served to
diminish, in public esteem, the vices which
shadowed his life. His last words, if correctly

EXCITEMENT IN SUMTER Last Satur.
day was bi9day in Sumter. The account
Of tho excitement, and the blood curding
narrative in the Ne,os and Courier of tho
hair breadth escape of our State officers, who
for the good Of the people and in utter dis.
regard of their own personal welfare rushed
in between the coptcnding parties, exposing
themselves to the fire of hundreds of pistols
and muskots from both sides, to say nothing
Of getting in the range of cannon which
was loaded with a bag of ton penny nails.
The reading of such accounts reminds us of
"Big Tuesday" in Abbcvilo Although,
from tho statements in thc Register aud the
Ne'os and Courier tho Sumter excitement
was different from tho Abbcyillo trouble in
this respect. In Sumter tho whites outuum.
bered tho negroes five TO one; and tho no
groes had but ono poor old whito man to
lead them. In Abbeville thcro wero
perhaps twice as many negroes as white
men. The negroes here wore under tho
leadership Of Chamberlain, Hogo, Carpenter
and lot Of smaller fry from Columbia, with
n whole battalion of home made Radioals.
and then We had no suoh fearless leaders on
our sides as the Sumter Democracy had.
