A True Sentiment.

DR.. Holmes says: ] never saw
garment too fine for man or maid;
there never was chair too good for
a cobbler or n cooper or a king 10 sit
in; never house too fine to shelter
the human head. These elements
about us--the glorious sun, the i'm.
perial sun-are not too good for the
human race. Elegance fits man.
But do we not value these tools q
little more than they are worth, and
sometimes mortgage house for the
mahogany we bring into III had
rather cat my dinner of the head of
n barrel, or dress after the fashion Of
John the Baptist in the wilderness
or sit on a block all my life, than
consume all on myself before got u
home, and take 80 much pains with
the ouside when the inside was as
hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is
a great thing, but beauty Of garment,
house and furniture are tawdry orna-
ments compared with domestic love.
All the elegance in the world will
not make a home, and would give
more for a spoonful of real heart-love
than for whole shiploads offurniture
and all the gorgeousness all the up
holsters the world can gather.

neighborhood in 1879, in which year lie
sold "a of them; in 1880 his salesamoun
ted to SO and in 'S1 the number he hand
led ran up to 128, an increase of over one
hundred per cent. each year. He has
orders already for over 100 this season,
and will no doubt double that number
before harvest. We doubt whether any
other machine can show an equal in
crease in popularity in the same
length of time. This may be attributed
to the excellent qualities of the Royce
Reaper, it being of the lightest draught
and is the easiest handled machine in
the market; and as to durability it i;
unexcelled. He is also selling the best
mowers in the market, together will
rakes and general variety of agricul-
tural implements. 2

The Widows Rights Supreme

An interesting opinion was fled by
Justice Turnkey, of the Supreme Court
in the case of Daniel Rupp, of Lehigh
couaty who had obtained verdict a.
gainst the Lehigh Iron Company for
the killing of his son, who was nine
teen years old. The boy was married.
His wife effected q compromise with
the company and received u considera-
ton for her husbands death. Mr..
Rupp brought suit, claiming damages
for the loss Of his son and the services
Of the latter, which he was entitled to
during the rest Of his minority. An
appeal was taken from the verdict,
which was in his favor. Justice Trunk
ey in his opinion says that the circum-
stances Of the young man, who lived a.
part from his parents and did not con-
tribute to their support, were such
that they suffered no pecuniary loss.
The statute prefers the widow, and
where minor leaves a widow or chill
dren his parents have no rights. The
first person entitled TO such damages is
the husband or wife; next, the chill
dren, if any, and lastly, the parents.
The judgement of the lower court was
therefore reversed.

AFIGHT AT A FUNERAL
A Woman Attempts to Brain
Her Sister Over the Open
Grave Of Their Mother.


There was terrible scene in the
William Street Cemetery, in this city,
Yesterday afternoon, when two sisters
fought over the fresh grave of their
mother. The trouble arose from re-
ligious differences, one sister being q
Catholic and the other a Protestant.
The deceased woman was Mrs. Far
rington, living with her husband be-
tween Bound Brook and Chimney
lock, some seven miles from this city.
The Harrington family aIe all Catho
lies, except one sister, who married
Protestant named Wolfe and adopted
the religion of her husband. The
Wolfes also live near Bound Brook
When Mrs. harrington died her hus-
band, Being in poor circumstances,
went to another daughter who had
married q Catholic and endeavored to
secure her aid in paying the funeral eX.
penses. He WIS unable to do this and
CuSu "oDl W tllc iOtCSlduS uduStIlcls
who agreed to share the expense of her
mothers burial. 1t was arranged TO
inter the body in the William Street
Cemetery, which is Protestant insti-
tation. The remains, in charge of
Bound Brook undertaken and accampa-
MED by Mrs. Wolfe and her husband
and a number of relatives and acqnaint-
ances, came to this city in carr rIiages.
When they were at Evona, mile
from Plainfeld, thay were overtaken
By wagon containing the Catholic
daughter, her husband and his two
brothers. This party stopped the
hearse and in very violent manner
forbade the burial Of the remains in
Protestant cemetery. The undertaken
was puzzled what to do, but drove on,
the Catholic party accompanying the
procession. Instead of going direct to
the cemetery, he drove to the police
station and asked the advice of Cap
tain Dodd, as the Catholic sons and
daughter threatened violence in case
an attempt was made to enter the
cemetery with the remains.
Mr.. Harrington was willing that his
wife's body should be inferred in the
Protestant ground, and his sons and
son-in-law would probably have con-
sented had it not been for the violent
opposition Of the wife of the latter.
The funeral proceeded to the cemetery,
and Captain Dcdd called the Catholic
daughter and her husband aside and
warned them of the serious nature of
the offense they would commit if they
interfered with the burial. Meanwhile
the undertaken was proceeding with
the interment and had lowered the
coffin into the grave. The Catholic
daughter gave shrek, and rushed to
the open grave assaulted her sister,
Mrs. Wolfe, heaping upon her the
most violent invectives and raving like
crazy woman. Finally she picked
up club and endeavored to brain her
sister, but was held by Captain Dodd,
who deprived her of her weapon. He
husband and brothers did not interfere e.,
but large crowd. composed mainly of
Catholics, gathered around the two
sisters, and there seemed likely to be a
general fight, sy mpatby being largely
with the Catholic daughter. Finally
the majority of the mourners were
hustled into the carriages aud driven
rapidly off, followed at some distance
by the Catholic brothers and sister,
threatening vengeance.

A Strange Story of Lost Identify,

William Ii. Cook, of Bucks County,
Pa, left home in October, 1878, in per-
feet health, to visit Il neighboring town.
He was taken sick and thereafter could
remember nothing about himself-not
even his name. He got work as bar
tender in a hotel, and for more than
years was a runner of another hostelry.
Having forgotten his own name, he
adopted that of William Hill, and on
account of his suddenly acquired vener-
able appearance, was called "Old Gen
eral Hill" About month ago he was
taken sick at Matawanda and was re-
moved to hospital at Lewiston. The
malady, brain fever. seemed strange as
it may appear, to restore his lost facul-
ties. and he awoke from his long leth-
argy, told who he was, and was return
ed to his friends, who had long mourn
ed him as dead.

A Giant Ohelisk-

Correspondence Cleveland LEADER
The first place we visited was Pom
pev's pillar, massive column of granite
1O4 feet high and eight feet in diameter.
The shaft is 81 feet long and 8 feet in di-
ameter, solid piece of stone weighing
hundreds of tons raised on pedestal OF
solid granite 81 feet high. Many times
as large as the obelisk taken from this
city to New York, it remains standing a
relic of the art and science of the past
ages. It must have required much en-
gineering to bring this immense mass
one thousand miles down the Nile from
the quarries of the Assouan, and to
mount it on its immense pedestal. Such
work would to-day excite the worlds
wonder. Yet this is only one of four
hundred, # we may believe the Mohom-
edan historians, which formed the colon
made of the great temple which held the
great Alexandrian library over two thou
sand years ago.
