The Prayer of Many.

The Prayer of Many.
The following petition was read in
the pulpits Of Mount Holly last Sab
bath and is being circulated in Mount
Holly and Pemberton and numerous
ly signed by the citizens.
To the President and Directors of
the Burlington County agricultural
Society and Others sohons 1t may
concern
An act of the Legislature Of the
State Of New Jersey approved April
4, 1872, enscts that if any person or
persons shall sell, cause or knowingly
permit to be sold directly or indirect
ly any ale, lager beer or other malt
liquors Except such as are compound
ed and sold as medicine) under the
quantity of one quart, if the same is
drank in, on, or about the premises
where sold, shall forfeit and pay for
every such offence the sum Of fifty
dollars and shall be held in addition
to the aforesaid penalty, as keepers of
disorderly houses, and shall be liable
to indictment as keepers of disorderly
houses, and upon conviction shall be
subject to like pains and penalties
as are now imposed by law on keepers
of gambling houses, houses of prosti.
tuition and other common nuisances.
The object of this stringent law is
evidently to discourage tipping and
drunkenness and its attendant evils,
especially at large gatherings of the
people like our Burlington County
Fair, where women and children are
attracted as well as well as men.
Therefore we the subscribers re-
pectfully petition and request the
Burlington County Agricultural So
ciety at their sale of refreshmeat
stands on Friday, the 22nd inst, that
they give notice to purchasers that
all sales of the aforesaid liquors are
p ohibited By the Society, and we
respectfully request all persons pur-
chasing stands as law abiding citizens
to strictly abide by the law and re-
frain from the sale Of said spirituous
or malt liquors.

CONSTIPATION is a disease M aker

-CoNsT1PAT1oN is q disease maker
to all human beings. The rich and
poor, old and young, male and fe-
male, are its regular victims. At
the bedside the physicians first
question is, "How are your bowels?"
This condition has many causes, and
leads to many diseases, as follows -
Indigestion, acid stomach, heart
burn, fevers, biliousness, sick head
ache, torpidity of the liver, collie, in.
flammalory diseases, nervousness,
loss of appetite, etc. These condi-
lions can all be removed by the use
OF Bailey's Saline Aperient, which is
o pleasant and sparkling purgative,
acting speedily and freely upon the
stomach, bowels and liver; relieving
Indigestion, curing sick headache,
heartburn and acid stomach; cocls
and quiets in fever; never produces
pain or nausea.

MR.. sAML. J. TILDEN, A. D. 1882.

Mr.. Tilden is in reasonable health.
This is to say he is neither an ath
lete nor cripple. He is immersed
in his own private concern. He lives
in Graystone, while his house in
Grammercy Park is being enlarged
and reconstructed. When it is fin
ished it will be one of the two or
three mansions in the city of New
York which can be called splendid.
He supervises the work upon it al
most daily. He may be seen three
or four times week down town, Ell
Their at his own Office or at board
meetings, where be is a director. He
lis very rich man and an incessant.
ly busy one. He has no more idea
|of being the next President of the
United States than the Chicago
Times correspondent has of going to
Heaven. He could not be induced to
accept any nomination of public
place whatever. He loves his coan-
try, is loyal to his party and takes
an active interest in current affairs.
His counsel and his purse are open
to his party. His person he has re-
served to his declining years. which
he proposes to enjoy with his
friends, his books and his pictures,
of which he is fond. He enjoys go
ciety as keenly as he ever did, and
is as pungent and epigrammatic as
|of yore in his conversation and re-
partee. No one has ever heard a
murmur Of complaint escape his
lips. Those who know him best know
that he is the exact opposite of a
disappointed man, and that he re-
garded his liberation from party oh
legations and services an act of
emancipation. We speak advisedly,
when we say under no circumstances
could he be induced again to enter
personally into the struggles of pc
litical life. A more tranquil, a more
happy and more agreeable philoso-
pher is not to be found, and being
such, people need give themselves no
concern about his future, either ss
it relates to himself or the plans,
schemes and aspirations of other
men, American Register.

England, Ireland and Scotland can
give US cock tails all around before
breakfast, and then double on us by

dom and Ireland is simply enor-

1881 the expenditure on this account
was $685., 372,300. The consumption
of beer was nearly hundred million
dollars gallons, or twice the manu-

WHAT Is GERRYMANDER1EG

The frequent use of this term in
connection with the Malone opera
tions in Virginia is excuse for a few
remarks on what ought to be a we'll
known subject, but one about which
a great number of people at this pre-
sent profess ignorance.
Gerrymandering is political term
which had it's rise in Massachusetts
during the bitter contest for power
between the Federalists and Demo
Gratis in that State, which resulted
in victory for the latter in 1872,
these electing their candidate for
Governor, Elbridge Gerry.
In order to secure the election of
United States Senators in future, it
was important to perpetuate this
possession Of power, aud measures
were taken to secure Democratic
majority in the State Senate in all
future years. The senatorial dis
triets had been formed without any
division of counties. This arrange
ment was now, for the purpose allu-
ded to, disturbed. The Legislature
proceeded to rearrange the senate
rial districts of the State. They d.
vided counties in opposition to the
protest of the Federalistsa, The work
was sanctioned and became q law by
the signature of Governor Gerry, for
which act the opposition severely
castigated him through the newspa-
pers and at public meetings.
In Essex county the arrangement
of the District, in relation to towns,
was singular and absurd. Russell,
the editor of the Boston Sentinel,
who had fought valiantly against the
scheme, took map Of that county,
and designated by particular color
ing the towns thus selected, and
hung it on the wall of his sanctum.
One day Gilbert Stuart, the painter,
happened in and examined the map.
He remarked that the towns which
Russell had thus distinguished, re.
sembled some monstrous animal.
Taking up pencil he, with a few
touches, ond by casting in shadows
here and there, represented head,
wings, claws, etc. "There," said
Stuart, chat will do for salaman
der!' Russell looked up, and see
ing the hideous figure exclaimed:
"Salamanderp' call it a clergyman
der" The word was Immediately
adopted into the political vocabulary
as term of reproach for those who
change the boundaries of districts
for partisan purpose New Or
