THE MARRIAGE OF \ WOMAN TO A

MaraDcy Hughes was married in Sep

as Samuel NJ Pollard Her relatives
opposed tie match, and she eioped aod
married without their knowledge, aud
a short time after their marriage Pol
lard confessed to her that he was a
woman: that she had trouble with her
relatives in the East; had lost all her
property and assumed the disguise OF
a man for the reason that avenues for
making money would he open to her
in that character, which would be clos
ed to her as a woman. Pollard has
never given her any particular reason
for doing her this great wrong. but Is
believed to have been actuated by a
foolish pride in appearing IN the char
acter of a married man. The victim
YVES ashamed to acknowledge that she
had been SO imposed upon, aud shrunk
from admitting the truth. Pollard,
without actually threatening her lie,
repeatedly intimated that it woHi be
bad for her if she exposed her, aud
she kept silence until fortnight ago,
when her aunt got an intimatIon OF the
fact and questioned her closely, aud
she related to her the whole story.
The victim says that the woman real
name is Sarah NJ Pollard, aud that
her trunk is filed with feminine ap-

day by J c. Howertou, accusing Pol,

projects of the initiation party.
Congressman Finley, of Ohio, thinks
that Grant and Thurman will be opposing

1t is reported that the democrats of the

-COurier JOuTWal:-"In great affairs,
organized ideas rule, and (else all signs of
the times are out of jointly Grant and order
is the organized idea of the republican fu-
ture."
The Washington Post, referring to the
the Watterson Hewitt dispute, says that it
hardly compensates the democratic party for
the loss of the Presidency to prove anybody
either an ass or a liar.
The republicans of Indiana feel the
want of a leader since Morton died. The
democrats are hopeful of gaming three or
four Of the Congressional district which in
1875 gave majorities to the other side.
The Pottsville Miners journal SAYS
that Colonel Jamestl Nutting ought to be

Atlantic CITY,

We clip the following from the columns
of the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 18th, and
commend it to attention of those of our
readers who contemplate visit TO cold
Ocean" during the heated term:
Atlantic City and the Camdon and Allan
tic railroad hold their own with the public
as of old. The proximity Of the former to
this city and the consequent shortness of the
latter are strongclaims on general patronage.
Nothing can alter the fact that the suburb
by the sea is the nearest watering place on
the coast, or affect the resultant cOnsidera-
tion that the trains on the Camden and
Atlantic railroad reach salt air and water
much sooner than any others running out
Of Philadelphia. In one respect ample JUS
tict. should be done the company controlling
this c,eat thoroughlare Of trade and travel
From The first the management set out
with the inIention of consulting the wishes,
comfort, eonvel. ience and interest of their
passengers, Then motto was evidently that
with which Mr.. P. 1. Barnum decorated the
curtain of his museum, Gnce popular place
Of amusement at Seventh and Chestnut,
"We study TO please" As they began so
they have continued, steadily AIMING to ac-
commodate their customers, both in fares and
freight rates, trains and time tables, ana the
wisdom Of this course has now long since
been apparent in the hourishng trade of the
railway and the rapid growth of the city
which forms its seaside terminus.
True, the bathing is unsurpassed, but this
Of itself would not account for the great
popularity of Atlantic City, which and en-
! lightened policy on the part of the railway
! directors and property owners generally has
| largely contributed to make what it is to-
| day. The present season already opens, not
withslanding the hard times, as one of the
most promising on record. The railroad
company are now running six trains each
way every week day, with extras on Satur-
days and Mondays. and two trains on Sun
days. You can 60 down on Sunday morn
| ing at o'clock in the accommodation or at
| 9 o'clock in the express, which shows you
| the ocean in ninety minutes from the time
! you start across the river. You can return
the same day at G:ij, after a long day be,
| side the breakers. The fare Is only dollar
each way, or less by fourth if YOU buy q
round trip ticket, good for ten days. Fol
going down on Saturday and coming back
on Monday, as SO many people do, there ar,
! special facilities. You can leave town al
2:l5 or P. NJ. and come back in the Mon,
day express AZ clio A. n. in ample time fol

IN. Y. Witness The hallucination
among the workingmen, if it is really among
them and not merely confined to spectators
and demagogues, that's deprecated currency
would benefit them, is the most eXtraordi
nary mistake of the present day. 1t would
benefit spectators in real estate and all who
owe money, but it would tell against every
man who lives by his labor and whose in
terest it is to get money of full value in pay
ment The fact that all were apparently
prosperous when money was greatly depre-
ciated was a mere coincidence. The reason
of the apparent prosperity was the great
Government expenditure. We say apparent,
for everything was dear in proportion as the
currency became less value than gold, as
everything is now cheap in proportion to
the approximation to gold standard. If
deprecated legal-tender paper would make
a country prosperous, these United States
should have been remarkably so whilst the
q" Continental money" was running down to
nothing, and SO should the Confederate
States whilst their legal tender currency was
only worth ten cents or one cent on the dol
lar in gold. st. Domingo and Cuba and
many other countries have a greatly depre-
ciated currency, but this does not help them
at all in the way of prosperity. So far from
those who advocate a sound currency on q
gold basis being inimical to workingmen
the case is just the reverse.

of the republican army, and that the boys
will whoop it up to him."
The major opinion of the bankers of
Cincinnati who have been questioned by
the Commercial seems to be that practical
resumption will arrive before 1879. Some
of them favor an immediate step in that
direction, and others believe that the decis-
i've date should be at least fastened by some
months. A few are less sanguine and are
even timid.

1t is stated that, instead of canvassing
the departments for funds to be used in the
approaching elections, the Secretary of the
Republican Congressional Committee has
caused circular to be distributed among the
clerks and other employees, informing them
that an arrangement has been made with
the treasurer" to be at a specified bank from
to o'clock in the afternoons to receive
contributions from those who have not yet
made any. Eany of the clerks, it appears,
have refused to respond to the call for cash,

The COnl Tradc.

There was q very quiet week in the coal
trade last week, made the more manifest in
the fact that it was the second, and, as is
hoped, the last week of coal suspension by
the Schuylkill coal region this year. 1t is
understood that there is fair supply Of
orders for coal in the market, and the prices
of coal are well maintained. There is no
just apprehension that prices will be relax
ed-indeed, it is confidently expected that
the prices for August will be fixed at an ad-
vance on those for the current month. The
collieres of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company will resume opera
tions to-day, and it is quite probable that
there will be no other stoppages during the
balance of the year. An improved demand
for coal steadily hence to the end Of the year
is confidently looked for, as it is now almost
universally conceded that prices are at their
lowest. There is at present no prospect of
rupture of friendly relations between any of
the several interests connected with the coal
trade. The ethreat which is sometimes thrown
out, that those who are now using anthra-
cite may be induced to change to bitumin-
Gus, is one that has lost its force-there is
really no such thing in contemplation. To
make the requisite change for burning the
hard and soft Goals is quite too costly to be
attempted from any slight cause.-Ledger,
