sionary society, for the purpose Of sup

Wales and Mr.. Boyee Of Bridgeton, NJ.
The first scene was called "The In
PRODUCTION of the Bride" 1t was in
two soenes-The cold reception and the
reconciliation. Every thing in this
scene was very tremendously arranged,
and perfect picture was revealed
when the curtain was drawn aside. In
the first part the bride was shown re
pelling the groom despite the pleading
Of friends, and in the second the lady
WAS on her knees in supplioation.
The next representation was known
as the "Flight Of Time" The feature
Of this was large frame surrounding
one who took one Of the various parts.
The illusion was complete. The repre-
ssntatisns were childhood, youth, man.
hood and old age.
Scenes from "Lalla Rookh" followed,
and were very beautiful. They were
known as the reception, and the reoog.
milton. The scenes were rich and in
keeping with the oriental cast of the
poem, and the parts were we'll taken.
Another tableau, "The Bachelor"
closed the first part Of the entertain
ment.
The second part opened with the
spinning wheel and elopement," which

up a regular correspondence with

through the under ground as the Of

ways an outsider, or some citizen, as
there are many of them employed in the
fine work in the prison, to carry out his
letters and bring back the answers.

POLITICAL POINTS.


Bill English is our Democratic candi-
date for president in 1884, Il such
thing Is needed by that time.
No honest man will trihe with his
constituency by making fulsome
promises of what he is going to- do to
win their favor."-Kansas City Journal.
The New York Tribune hits the bulls
eye by clubbing the Democratic party an
organized blunder. 1t may be added
that il is likewise = systematic and
colossal lie.
The New York World portentously
intImates that the next president will be
counted in by Democratic congress.
Are there any cultural limitations of
"blud" IN that announcement!
Il is time the Democratic party were
being pushed to the wall. It has al
ready survived its uselessness for twenty
years. and there is no reason why it
should ask longer tenure of existence.
"Vote the Republican ticket until
every man in the nation, entitled to
vote, can cast Just one vote at each cleo
iion, for which party he pleases, without
fear or molestation, and have it honestly
counted, and you will feel conscious of
having done your duty as a citizen"
Z. 8. GRANT.
II the Democratic party isin existence
in 1884, it will probably favor the public
with postscript retracting its present
position and affirming that the tariff is
not local issue. As an eastern paper
observes, the Bourbons learn. but they
are always four years behind.
It should NOT be allowed TO escape the
attention of the public that the prolonged
fraud yell in Indiana proceeds from the
party which has always opposed every
available obstacle to the accomplish
ment OF measures looking to the pro-
lection of the ballot and the promotion
OF honest and fair elections.
New York Tribune: Two things
may be predicted with tolerable safety
about the Democratic campaign In 1884.
The Democrats will not put up ticket
with Glorious Superb at one end and a
skinflint at the other, aud they will not
engage a mule.broker to run their can.
vass for them on the superstition that
the presidency OF the United States Is
for sale.
The New York Sun Is still lAboring,
with some small measure of success to
reconcile itself to the situation, as the
following, from recent issue, would
seem to indicate: The letters and
speeches of General Winfield Scott
who was really very uncommon man,
excelling, as aconversationalist,a all other
men we have ever met-weskened him
In his campaign and made him ridicu-
lous, as We subsequently heard him
most emphatically admit No letters
from candidate. and much more sense
in party leaders. would work together in

GENTLEMEN: Ia the speeches made
by myself, IN the canvass IN our county,
have, in reference to the suit now pend
ing in our district court, known as the
pond suit" made among other state
ments the following one, to-wit;
THAT ut the time the board Of county
commissions ordered that the suit
should proceed. and that the county At
torney should sign the amended petition,
that II was understood and agreed that you
and Snoddy should have the full control
and management OF the case, and should
attend to the procuring of the evidence,
etc. :" shat Just prior TO our last term
of court. held in September, you request
ed me to consent 10 q continuance of the
case, stating AS q reason, that Snoddy
had been Entrusted with the task of look
ing up and procuring the evidence in the
case, and that In your judgment the evi.
dence already procured was insufficient TO
go TO trial upon. and that II we pushed
the case for trial that you should have
to dismiss it for want of evidence, unless
Snoddy could make n sufficient affidavit
for a continuance: that you had written
TO Snoddy for such affidavit, and had
been unable 10 procure one from him I;
that after this I Informed you that my
clients demanded trial al The earliest
possible moment, but If you thought it
possible 70 obtain any evidence that /
would consent TO a continuance or II to
enable you 20 procure such evidence,
and that the case was then continued
under our consent"
+ Now my veracily has been questioned
as TO those statements, and as those
s-atements contain nothing but the truth
i request you 10 state as to whether, in
ak at1oh afafeunanf II told the frnfla
or not. As t1is request calls for no an
swer which would in any way violate
your duties as attorneys, but only seek
10 obtain confederation of that which
you and both know TO be true. and
which has in NO way been secret so far
as we are concerned, trust that you
will do me the simple justice of stating
whether / am correct or not.

A MYSTERY.
BY JOIN G WHITTIER


The river. hemmed with leaning trees,
Wound through its meadows green;
4 los. blue line OF noun tains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp. tall peak above them all.
Clear into sunlight sprang;
1 saw the river of my dreams,
The mountains that 1 sang.
No clue of memory led me on,
But well the way knew;
A feeling of familiar things
With every footstep grew
Not otherwise above its crag
Could lean the blasted pine;
Not otherwise the maple hold
AloIt its red ensign
So up the long and shorn foothills
The mountain road should creep;
So, green and low. the meadow fold
Its red haired kline asleep.
The river wound a it should wind;
Their place the mountains took;
The white torn tFingeS OF their clouds
wore no unWOnted look
Yet meier before that rivers rim
Wa> pressed by feet of mine;
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
4 presence. strange at once and known.
Walked with me as the guide;
The skirts of -ome forgotten life
Traiied noiscless ut my side
Was it q din -rememi IerPd dream
or glimpse through ceons oldi
The secret which the mountains kept,
The river never tod.
BIT from the vision, ere it passed,
tender hope I drew;
And, pleasant as dawn OF spring,
The thought within me grew.
That love would temper every change,
and so ten all surprise,
And, misty with the dreams of earth,
TIE hills of heaven arise
