The Romance Of a Young: Woman

The Romance Of a Young" Woman
Found Demented at a Depot.
JERSEY CITY, December T.
An insane woman was arrested at
the Central Railroad depot in this city
night before last, having come in the
cars from Easton, Pa. Last night it
was learned that the woman's name is
Annie THOMPSON, formerly a resident
of Monteclair, n. j., where her family
were at one time wealthy people. BY
unsuccessful Speculations her father
became impoverished, and his reverses
preyed on him SO that he died. The
mother and two daughters came TO
New York, and one got occupation as a
book-agent. About six months ago
she began to show signs of mental
alteration, and about three months
ago mysteriously disappeared. TIE
next thing heard of her was that she
had attempted suicide by jumping in
the rapids above Niagra Falls. Two
men who saw her preparing for the fa-
tai plunge forcibly restrained her
She was sent back to New York, and
since then her whereabouts were un-
known until her present arrest. She
was this morning sent to the county
jail, 80 that she might be properly ex-
amined by the county Physician. AL
efforts to find her friends have been un-
availing.

1t seems to be expected Of every pa
per, city or local, large or small, to
give at least fair synopsis of the
Presidents annual message. But to do
so even approximately in the Journal
would crowd out all other reading mat
ter and local news. Knowing that our
readers would much dislike to have our
Stalwart Presidents message take up
all our available space, we concluded
to give it in the form Of a supplement-
and let each one have his own conclu-
sions about it. We may still have
some comments to make upon it at a
later period, but have not the time,
nor are we in just the exact humor to
do so now. Sntlice it to say that we
take no stock ut any price in Presiden
Arthur.
In order to offset the dry and prosy
message of the President, we concluded
to print our own annual message on
the other side CT Our supplement. Our
message differ widely from Arthur's,
but we submit to the intelligent people
ofthe United States whether ours is not
the palmer, more pointed and practi-
cal document of the two. Our sug-
gestions and recommendation are not
hid and lost in a multiplicity of words,
but will be readily understood by all.
Neither are We so exclusive and ,piSh as
TO address ourselves to select class of
senator's and congressman only: we
speak to dll-wether senator, congress-
man or plain citizen. In one other
point our message has most decided
advantage over President Arthur'S-
it is brief. "Brerity is the soul Of tcit. "
Arthur's message has neither brevity
nor wit, and least of all -soul-in it.
We know what people like to read, es-
pecially at this festive season. Arthur
don't-and that's the difference be.

Treating.

OF all American customs, that OF
% treating to drinks" is about the most
ridiculous. Ten men meet in bar
room. Of these three may be old ac-
quaintances and the other seven stran-
gers to the three and each other. The
first Americanism is the introduction
of everybody TO everybody else. Thus,
Mr.. A let me introduce you to Mr.. Il.
Mr.. b this is Mr. G, Mr.. G. this is Slr.
A. Mr.. A this is Mr.. ID, and so on all
through the changes, at the end of
which Mr.. a is utterly lost as to the
identity of Mr.. G. as is Mr.. c to that of
Mr.. A, and as Mr.. b to that of Mr.. ID,
and as also is Mr.. + to Mr.. A. Being
now much mixed and strangers rs be-
fore, the next ceremony is opened by,
well, gentlemen, what will you have?"
Should there be ten drinks TO be pre-
pared. embracing mixed" and "long
drinks" it involves the patient waiting
of the one treator and nine treated for a
period of five and sometimes ten min
utes. which in many cases are passed in
stupidity watching the acti,ity of the
barkeeper. who is really the most inter-
ested and profited peso. present. At
last. when all is prepared, ten drinks
are raised and silently slip Gown ten
Threats. Then some one else feels it
his duty to treat" Meantime; one
third of the previous treated may slip
away on one preteXt or anothera for
fear of being called upon by bar-rOom

| end up" And SO this foolish. dreary
custom goes on, while the bar keeper
has most of the pleasure and all of the
profit.-N y. Graphic. l..

The Mystery OF DiiTidence.

Morbid seif-consciousness is the
secret of excessive diifiderce. To be
always thinking about your manners,
said Archbishop Whately, is not the
way to make them good. because the
very perfection OF manners is not to
think about Yourself. Though many
self-coHscious people are very agree
able, he claimed for unconscious man.

Camping Out.

A few practical suggestions in refer
erce to camping out may not come
amiss. Buy a horse, if you can, and
borrow wagon, or pay 3 :rIiie for its
use. Now, having your horse and
wagon. pack carefully. Many take only
coflee-pot and a frying pan for the
cooking department. Your coflee-pot
had better have both bail and handle
and lip. not lid, rs handles and
spouis are apt to burn of. Each cook
ing utensil should have its own jug. so
as not to blacken other things. The
rest of the cooking utensils are water
pail, Ratchet, large knife, and knife,
FORK, spoon, plate and cup for each
person. The wooden picnic plates,
which You can wash few times and
then kindle the fire with, are much bet
ter than china ones. Inquire before
hand if You can buy meat and vegeta-
bles along the route. and then-provide
accordingly. A light rubber blanket is
needed for each camper; those with a
hole in the middle for the head are the
best. rs they do for both day and night.
Ii you have room, carry an empty tick,
which YOU can ill with straw and hem
loci. A comfortable bed is then at
your service. The ladies. of course,
should have 4 separate tent. Be sure
TO provide yourself with books for rainy
weather, a number OF glees if you are
musical, and some few simple remedies.
Each member of the party should be
provided with his or her own haver-
sack. with brushes, scissors, thread and
needles. etc. Plenty of rope. Irvine and
copper wire should not be forgotten,
with L Ratchet, hammer. nails, etc.
Thus accouteIed, you are ready for the
campaign.
