Peeling potatoes is not nice job, Who
ever saw hired girl or housewife hank
err after peeling the potatoes for dinner.
What do you suppose they do where sew
eral barrels must be peeled. every meal?
Well, at the West End Hotel, at Long
Branch, they used to have pioneer corps
of women, and everybody who ever had
the exclusive jawing of hired girl will
understand the awful waste of time and
potatoes. They don't do that way now.
There is a sheet iron cylinder punched
full of holes like common two-for-ten-
cents nutmeg Crater, only the punching Is
done from the outside and the roughness
is on the inside. That is a II there is to it.
Some genius found out that half barrel
potatoes chucked into this cylinder and
revolved few moments very rapidly,
would come out as white and clean and
hideless as a single one would under an
Irish girls fingers. More than that,
nothing has been lost but the skin, and
one barrel In every five Is saved by the
process. This is bald-headed fact.

gressional convention met at Newton to-
day. Elk Congressman A. A. Clark was
Chairman. He made a speech condemn
ing the river and harbor vote of Repre-
sentative Henry s. Harris, who had pre-
viously spoken in defence of his action on
that measure. The Chairman closed by
saying if the reasons given by Harris were
approved by the delegates it was their
duty to renominate him, but If otherwise
they must not evade the responsibility.
Sentiment and kindly feeling should not
avail. They must make ticket to in
spire confidence, for upon their action
doubtless depended the success of the
party in the State and the election of the
next United States Senate. When nomi-
nations were called for, the names of Rep
resentatve Harris and Martin Wyckoff,
of Warren, and Lewis Cochran, of Sussex,
we're presented. Judge Morrow, OF War
rem, made violent speech condemning
the speech of the Chairman, as being
hostile to Harris. He claimed the right
of Warren county to two terms, and said
he spoke for 8, 900 Democrats whose votes

TEN THOUSAND WoRsmPPERs BY THE
SEA.-Camp meeting Sabbath, the great
est day of the year at Ocean Grove, was
observed on Sunday by the largest congre-
CATION ever gathered there. At half past
10 A. NJ, when the love feast ended, no
one of the thousands present left his seat,
and the crowd became SO dense that over
flow meetings were organized in the
Bishop James Tabernacle, also in the Chill
dren's Temple, In the Salvation Tent,
and on the shore. The crush at the Audi
forum was so great that the people could
not kneel and about three thousand re-
NAMED standing until the close of the
meeting. AS the sun was going down
10000 persons, according to the estimate
OF many, gathered in surf meeting at
the edge of the sea.

To tie Editor of the Lam6ertville Record
had not intended to write anything
further in reply to the old lady who owns
such largo landed estates along Swan
Creek. Not only has her property de-
preciated fearfully, but she is almost
frantic about everybody else who owns
real estate in the immediate vicinity OF
what she calls the " fertilization" Her
vision has become enlarged. A wall two
feet high is four feet, and everything
doubles itself right up. A clear case OF
enlarged vision and mania with it. If

The Circus.

The Circus.
The Boston journal of Tuesday morn
ing, May 9th, says "The first perform
ances in the weeks series by Nathans &
Co. circus took place ON the Coliseum
grounds yesterday afternoon and evening
An attractive street parade was given
in the principal downtown streets in the
forenoon. The show comprises museum.
menagerie and ring performance. The
museum contains some unique attractions :;
the menagerie is fairly representative the
circus is good throughout. The first
recommendation is that there is but one
ring, and the audience is consequently
near enough to see plainly the details of
all the numbers. Many of the ring at
fractions are new, and all awaken the
liveliest interest The contortions of the
human india-rubber man are wonderful
beyond anything of the sort before seen
here; two trapeze acts show u superb
skill seldom equalled !; troupe of trained
ponies perform marvels of intelligent
military and other maneuvres, and the
long programme given by half dozen
trained dogs shows an intelligence almost
human. The riding by both male and
female performers was meritorious. There
was number of new equestrian features
The audience at each performance was
large and enthusiastic. There will be
afternoon and evening performances daily
during the remainder of the week.

Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass.
We would invite attention to the ad-
vertisement of the Park Publishing CO.,
OF Hartford, Conn, who have recently
issued the autobiography of Frederick
Douglass. Our readers are all more or
less acquainted with the history of this
man aud should make themselves familiar
with his book.
The Cleveland Ohio Leader says
This book will gain instant recognition as
one of the healthest and most important
works ever contributed to American
literature. 1t will take its place as
volume indispensable to the complete
records of our national history. The life
struggle it portrays will be erected as
standard Of emulation to the youth and
manhood of America, who, without such
examples, might well doubt the possibility
ofclimbing SO high from condition so low.
And scarcely less important to the work and
the lesson it has to teach, it possesses add
vantages butte unparalleled for holding
interest, and stamping upon all classes of
minds the inherent principles of freedom
and manhood. The narrative of Doug
lass's days Of slavery and escape from
bondage is hardly less interesting than
8 Uncle Toms Cabin, while the truths
lose nothing in comparison with the
ideality Of that work, and it carries its
subject through a wider range of accom-
plishment to a rank sufficiently exalted to
win all admiration. 1t is needless to
speak of the literary style of the book
the accomplishments of the writer are
known to all who read. Americans will
be proud of this donation to their litera-
ture, and thankful to Mr.. Douglass that
he has made it himself.
