why the Rifles VIII Not Contest.

The Itl)nbficdh THIS morning puDllSneS the
following card from Captain Burnside:
GAS many inquiries are being made by our
friends as TO why the National Rifles Will not
contest I'm the competitive drill In Baltimore
tomorrow, deem 1t but Just to tho organiza.
ton have tho honor to command to state
few facts bearing on that subject. II is well
known that u very large percentage of
the members OF the Rides are in tho Govern
ment service in the various departments,
and It is also well known that the departments
held Its employees TO their work without grant
ing the usual leaves at the beginning OF sum
mer, owing to the press OF business, which
always exists during the sessions OF Congress.
AS Congress did not adjourn till August 3, the
granting OF leaves did not begin to any great
extent till after that date. SO II has been from
August Z up to the present timc. The Rifles
have had from twenty to twenty-siX OF
the old members of the company con-
iinually absent from the city, and add to
this four who have been quite Ill for several
weeks there have not been since August Z
last at any time enough old members of the
company present in the city to make COM
pany OF three officers, five sergeants and
thrtytwo men 10 constitute company eligl-
BILE In numbers to enter the competition. After
this plain statement OF facts II Will be ap-
parent to all why we are not able 10 compete.
We have q large number OF new recruits who
have been drilling faithfully for tho past few
weeks 10 flt themselves to participate In the
parade tomorrow In Baltimore, but we could
not be so reckless MS to put them In to make q
picked company TO drill for prizes.

In the luxurious dwellings OF London and

India and Chlna-in almost every country In

obeying the call TO prayer, and recalling the
historic lessons OF the season they celebrate.
No festival is moro universal I'm Its observance.
1t is the oldest Of religious days OF obsorv

Ing 10 the tribes Of Israel by Divine command,
while the people had scarce begun TO recOg-

Egypt, gave command for "thc holy cOnvOca-
tion," dccreed that there should be "no serv-
lie work. in the camp, and ordered tho "blow-
Ing Of the trumpet and the Offering that
should be made unto the Lord.
There is world OF meaning In the call OF
Tlsri. The symbolical blowing Of the trumpet
means, TO the pious Israollte, n memorial OF
the days of creation; n call to repentance from
sin; n reminder OF the law and the prophets,
OF the destruction OF the Temple ana the sa-
cred city; n prophesy of the resurrection and
the rewards and punishments of a future life;
a call 10 prayer for tho building up OF Israel
Into grander, fuller, higher life. No one can
neglect the call, or pass Its lessons by. The
veneration of age, and the remembrance OF
Gods dealings with his people, makes the sea.

Barriere, the dramatist, had an invaria-
bic and eminently successful method for
getting rid of the bores who are always
writing to famous play-writers suggesting
writing piece together.
He always kept the piece sent to him for
a month Or so, and then returned it with a
polite note to the effect that he regretted
that his other engagements would not per-
nit him to take part in the final prepara-
ton of play which indicated the posses
sion by its author of such remarkable dra-
matte ability.
Of course, ere many days had elapsed he
would be accosted by the author, who
would labor with him to induce him to re-
consider his determination.
"My dear boy" the author would say.
sit is a mistake on your part not to hitch
teams along with me. That great scene
between CASTOR and Julia in the fourth act
would of itself make the success of the
play. You remember it, don't your"
''No, I don't; in fact didn't read line
of your piece"
ooh, come now; didn't you write to me
that itindicated the possession by its author
of remarkable dramatic ability? 1 have
your letter here.'
Precisely; and doesn't the fact that I
wrote that prove that couldn't have read
the piece?'

The Bad and Worthless.

are mover Initiated or counterfeited. This is
especially true of a family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bit
tiers was the purest, best and most valuable fam
lily medicine on earth, many limitations sprung
up and began to steal the notices in which the
press and people of the country had expressed
the merits of H. B., and in every way try
ing to induce suffering invalids to use
their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of H.
B. Many others started nostrums put up
in similar style to II. B., with variously de-
vised names in which the word ssHop" or
Hops" were used in a way to induce
people to believe they were the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies
or cures, no matter what their style or
name is, and especially those with the
word "Hop" or 'Hops" in their name or
in any way connected with them or their
name, are limitations or counterfeits. Be-
ware of them. Touch none of them. Use
nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with
bunch or cluster of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else. Drug
gists and dealers are warned against deal
ing in limitations or counterfeits.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. A-Lawrence Harrigan
Democratic candidate for sheriff of this
city at the late election, through his coun-
sci, served to-day notice of contest on Isaac
M. Mason, Republican,, who received the
certificate of election. The ground of the
contest is that the ticket used by the anti
Filley faction of the Republican party was
illegal, fraudulent and calculated to de-
ceive, iuasmuch as it had ON it not only
the names of candidates nominated by the
anti-Filley Republican convention but also
several names of Democrats, thus violating
a statute prescribing what shall constitute
a legal ticket. Alex. Garesche, Democrat. C
candidate for clerk of the circuit court, the
only other defeated Democrrtic candidate
on the city ticket, will serve similar no
tice tomorrow on Chas. F. Vogel, his sue
cessful opponent on the Republican ticket,
and on Monday application will be made
to the supreme court for writ of quo
warrantO in order to obtain an immediate
hearing of the case. 1t is supposed that
10000 to $4,000 of those tickets were voted.
The objection to the ticket is entirely
technical.

4 Story of DR.. ROtcditcI..
From the American Register. !

In 1886 gentleman of Massachusetts,.
when IN England, met distinguished per-
sonage, who made made many inquiries
respecting the learned and literary men of
the United States. The names of quite a
number who had achieved q high reputa-
ton were given, and their acknowledged
merits recited. When the name of DR..
Bowditch was mentioned, he instantly
spoke in terms of admiration of his charac-
ter and labors, and gave him a high posi-
ton in the world of science. Indeed, his
language showed that he was an enthusiast
tic admirer of the doctor.
On his return to the United States. the
gentleman who had listened to his compli-
ments, and who INDUCED in a commenda-
BILE pride in hearing such testimony from
foreigner, laudatory to the great mathe-
matician, took pleasure in calling on DR..
Bowditch, to report the interview as calcu-
lated to crafty him. He was cordially re-
ceived, and after the usual exchange of
compliments, the interview and the Ian
guage of the nObleman was given. The
doctor listened with fixed attention without
speaking word When he had heard all he
looked away for some moments as if IN
tent upon some problem requiring careful
solution. He was evidently affected, and
in what way the reader may more easily
conjecture than language can describe.
he looked up with tears in his eyes, and
with evident emotion, and remarked:
"Mr. --, tie highest compliment I
ever received, and which affected me most
deeply, was contained in letter. from an
humble stranger, backwoodsman teach
or, pointing out slight typographical err
ror in the edition of my translation of La
Place. The fact that my book was so &C.
curately read by such man in my own
country, man unknown in the world of
science, affected me more than any comp j.
ment ever received from distinguished
men,

time ago Mr.. Hoff, an engineer ON the
Morris and Essex division of the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western railroad, who lives
in Hackettstown, began to feel annoyed at
the Rev. A. G. Higgins frequent visits to
his house. The minister, Methodist, had
editorial charge of the Hackensack Herald,
which he was conducting as temperance
paper with such moderate success that to
make living he preached as WELL He is a
man of middle age. Mr.. Hotf babe the
minister cease his visits, but they we're
continued, and later the husband found
that the clergyman had written to
Mrs. Hoff, addressing her affection
ately, and urging her to quit home,
and live with him. Mr.. Hoff told his
friends that he intended to leave his wife,
and, accordingly, it was arranged that her
brother-in-law should take her to Belvidere,
and while she was gone last Monday he be-
gan giving out his furniture. He was
urged to desist until his wife came home
at night, when she should meet the Rev.
Mr.. Higgins, who was preaching at Clinton,
but was to return in the evening. The
meeting was held when the Rev. Mr.. Hig-
gins was about to hold Bible class. He
acknowledged that he wrote the letter, and
had called against the wishes of the hus-
band. Mr.. Hoff then told the clergyman
ne would give him three days to get out of
Hackettstown. The next day the clergy
man went away, leaving son and his wife,
who is an estimable lady, and has he sym

The sections also have in each instance

Lectures on the philosophy and traditions

the preceptor, and the deepest interest is
evinced in the utility and progress of the
new lodge, brethren of every creed, native

spirit which bids fair to achieve high
