At Long Branch large portion of the accom-
modations Is already engaged The Mansion
House, Elberon and Atlantic hotels are al
ready open, with fair number of guests, and

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in
view of the enormous business upon its New
York division, is seriously contemplating the
putting down of four tracks between Phila-
delphia city and New York. Since the COM
pany assumed control of the New York di-

The British census shows clearly that the
growth of London has at last been arrested
and the population is declining. The causes
of this may be traced to the ruin of ship
building atLondon by the rapid rise of the
iron shipbuilding industry at Belfast, Liver
pool, Newcastle and Glasgow to the transfer
of many other branches of industry and trade
from the metropolis to the manufacturing
cities and commercial ports in various parts
of Great Britain and Ireland, and finally to
the steady progress of emigration to America
and Australia;
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
accepted the responsibility for the Bear
Swamp accident, and is settling with those
who were injured. Miss Ella Chapman, an
actress had her ankle sprained, and COM
pounded with the company for $1,000. Miss
| Topsy Venri; another actress, refuses to settle

Beauregard will write a book on the war
A number of Generals on both sides do not
seem to think the war is yet over, but keep
on fighting their battles on paper Gen. SEQ
field is trying to steal the victories of Gen.
Thomas, and jeff Davis says that Gen. Sher-
man is vain man, who has been ruined by
success and flattery, and that the march of
his "bummers to the sea was not due to
any generalship on his part, but the want Of
it on the part of Gen. Hood. Let US have
peace, but no more books on the war.
The singular spectacle of an auti-temper-
ance, or anti-prohibition State Convention,
was witnessed in North Carolina recently, It
was gotten up as a counter movement to the
prohibition movement which is now so strong
In that State. We have not seen a full ac-
count of its proceedings but it probably ex-
patiated upon the sad curse of temperance
that is now sweeping over that State, and of
the poverty and distress 1t Is entailng uron
the wives and childrer of the liquor dealers.
The Readjuster Virginia State Convention
shows in its make up and declaration OF prin-
ciples a wonderful growth Of liberal and pro-
gressive ideas in the South. Half of the
delegates were colored men, most of the delega-
lions being composed Of about equal numbers
of both colors The chairman of one white
delegation was colored man. The platform
emphasizes demand for an honest ballot as
g the right preservativc of all rights" and
entire freedom of thought and speech.
Out West, people who ought to know all
about the real value of seven per cent. mort
cages on improved western farm property and
about county bonds paying high rate of in
terest, compete with each other to lend
money to the State of Missouri at three to
| four and half per cent This should be a
warning and guide to investors In this part
of the country tempted to 60 away ffot1 home
to get high rates Of interest. Money seeks
| its level as surely as water, and whenevef
| high rates ofihterest are offered (rates above
the ayerage), a very close examination OF the
securities offered should be made. =
Gov. Ludlow has appointed Nathan Har-
| per, (Dem.) of Plainfield, Law Judge of Union
County, to succeed H. q. Bovine, deceased,
who was Republican thus making the
bench of that county solidly Democratic. =
There is no civil service or non-partisan Ju-
dietary /" nonsense about the Governor. His
theory Is that Republicans have no rights that
he is bound to respect, and wherever he finds
a vacant Office, no matter how made or what
its effec. may be, he puts Democrat in 1t. II
the next Senate is Republican and 1t does not
exhibit more pluck in dealing with him than
the last one did, we shall not have another In
a hurry.
A st ronger temperance sermon will never
be preached than that which an unfortunate
woman Of Cape Girardeau, Mo-, recently de-
| livered before her husband In bar room
Setting covered dish, which she had brought
| with her. upon the table, she said 'Pre=
Stunning husband, that you are too busy to
come home to dinner, have brought you
yours" and departed. With forced laugh
he invited his friend to dine with him but,
on removing the cover from the dish, found
only slip Of paper on which was written :
81 hope you viii enjoy your meal 1t is the
same your family have at home"
