LITTLE KNOWN CITIES.
Some OF the niarvels OF One OF Engiand's
Many Dependencies.

The English are beginning in vague way
to realize the magnitude of India, and to
comprehend that IL contains some $4,000, 900
more people than all Europe west of the
Vistula. Few however, are quite aware of
the number of its cities, or believe that it in
cludes sixty-two with more than $4,000 peo-
pie, and twenty-five with more than 100000;
namely, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Hydera-
Bangalore, Umritsur. Cawnpore, Lahore,
Allahabad, Jeypore, Rangoon, Poona,
Ahmedabad. Bareilly, Surat, Howra, and
.Baroda. We give them in order of popula-
tion; but, properly speaking in the
English way of counting, Howra, the
Southwark of Calcutta, should be
included in the capital, which with it con-
tains above $4,000 souls, ana 1t is the great
est, as it is by far the wealthiest. city in the
empire. Below the limit of $4,000 the towns
become much more numerous, and there are
hundreds with populations above 10000. The
maj ority of the latter are quite unknown to
Europeans, an active magistrate or two eX-
cepted and, so far as we are aware, there is
no book in English which gives the slightest
account of their organization, or of the life
and people in them. Yet many of them have
histories of two thousand years, and in all
flourish families which think themselves
noble, and have long pedigrees and stirring
tales to narrate. We hear every now and
then much of Indian princes who, in India,
are hardly mentioned. and of educated
natives" scarcely perceptible class, but of
the true British India" as little is known

AN ODD STATE OF FINANCES.

The commercial relations between X
Paso, Tex, and the Mexican town, FL Paso
del Norte, just across the river, threaten to
be seriously disturbed. A Mexican dollar
is valued at eighty-fve cents in American
coin. Our neighbors, not liking the de-
probation of their national coin, resolved to
depreciate ours. Their Board of Trade sol
EMMY decided that American silver dollars
should be deprecated thirty cents, or pass
current for eighty-five cents in Mexican
silver. The Mexican Board of Trade saw
the folly of their financial scheme when it
was put to the test by one of the conductors
ON the street car line that connects the rival
cities One morning he started from the
American side with Mexican silver dollar.
On arriving on the other side he took
drink of their native chain-lightning whisky
price fifteen cents. He was given an Ameri-
can dollar in change. He took drink OF
equally bad whisky on the American side,
price fifteen cents, and was given q Mexican
dollar in change. He repeated this at regu-
lar intervals during the day, and at night
had the same Mexican dollar he started out
with. II is very likely the Board of Trade
will revise its queer system of finance.
Mexican paper money is at twenty -fve per
sent. discount.

ARRErT,s RECORD.

Here is the public record Of the man
who wants to be Governor of New Jer-
sey, so far as it has been examined.
LEON ALBEIT voted for every corpor.
ate and monopolist's scheme, every time,
while member of the Legislature.
On the fifth of April, 1865, LEON AB-
BETT voted AYE on motion to kill Mr..
Bodine's bill compelling employers to
pay their employees N cash instead of in
store orders.
LEON ALBEIT voted all the way through
in favor of extending the County act
to all parts of the State, pronounced by
the True american the ''most outrageous
aud oppressive act ever put upon the stat
ute books of the State"
LEON ALBEIT voted to nullify and kill
the bill reducing the legal rate of interest
in this State from seven to six per cent
in 1877.
LEON ALBEIT actively opposed the res
buttons of the late George 7. Cobb, in
the Legislature of 1866, congratulating The
loyal North upon the triumphant close Of
the war, and thanking the noble men who
contributed to that glorious consumma
ton.
LEON ALBEIT in 1865 moved to strike
the name of Abraham Lincoln from reso
lutions thanking him as the Commander
in.cbief. and the other Generals and sol
diers of the Union army, for having put
down the rebellion, because, as he said,
"He did not think that Mr.. Lincoln had
ANYTHING to do with it. He believed thai
he was rather an impeachment in this war
and but for him it would have been CLOSED
long ago." LEON ALBEIT in 1866 voted
against resolutions accquiescing in the
amendment to the constitution abolisbinl
slavery, although that amendment was
then part of the fundamental law.
LEON ALBEIT opposed paying to tn,
widows of colored soldiers the same boun
ty that was paid to the widows of white
soldiers.
LEON ALBEIT, on March 9Th, 1865
talked aud voted in favor of killing bill
comforting the right of suffrage upon
New Jersey soldiers in the field.
LEON ALBEIT was the only man il
either House who bitterly opposed tht
reform State Prison bill Of 1869, thai
took that institution out of politics ant
put it on business basis.

before the people. Keep the rascals out

REQUIREMENTS OF SLEEP.

The London Eaacet says Two conditions
oppose the requirements of Sleep These
are by hypermmia of the brain--stimulating
1t to undue activity, and playing the part of
awhip and spur to tired horse and the
opposite of yper@mia-excessiye cerebral
annmia. To relieve the former by rational
methods, a flank movement is required.
The blood forces must be enticed away from
their persistent assaults upon the cranial
fortress. This can best be accomplished by
filling the stomach with solid food, thus
furnishing temporary engagement for the
pugilistic globules on other fields. The
food should be of the coarest and plainest
variety, else the remedy might produce an
aggravation. We all know that the lower
animals, after filling their stomachs with
coarse and abundant food, lie down immed-
lately to rest and sleep, and they succeed,
even after the most severe and exhausting
toll upon the race-course at the pillow or in
the field. To reasonable extent man
should initiate the unartifcial habits of less
gifted animals.

The temperance tidal wave Is even roll
ing over Washington. Within the last
eleven months 146 sa'oon-keepers in
that city have been arraigned in the po-
lice court for violating the law forbid
ding the sale of liquor on Sunday, five for
selling after hours, and fifty five for sell
ing without licenses. The total num-
Der of convictions was 219, some of the
delinquents having appeared no less
than SIX times, each time 10 their sorrow.
AS the commissioners have promised
not to issue licenses next year to those
who have violated the law, it would seem
that the number of rum shops would be
considerably reduced, were it not tor
the fact that the authorities seem to be
powerless to prevent those who do not
take out license from continuing the
business.

In Memory of His Icy Dip.

From the NelC York sun.
Among the requests aggregating $50,
600 made by the late James ID. Strykel
of Lambertville, N: j., whose will has
just been filed for probate, was one OF
$3.50 TO Conrad N. Jordan of this city,
the Treasurer of the New York, Ontario
and Western Railroad Company, and
| for years the cashier of the Third Ma
tional Bank.
There is little history attached to
tins bequest. Mr.. Jordan was clerk
in the Hanover National Bank of this
city twenty years ago. On bis way
home over TIE Cortlandt street ferry one
bitter night in December he saw lady
attempt to jump back from the departing
ferry boat to the bridge She had board
ed the boat i'll advance of the gentleman
to whom she was engaged and whom
she subsequently married, and finding
that he could not catch the boat she at
tempted to return to him. She fell into
the water ana disappeared beneath the
mass of broken ice that filled the slip.
Mr.. Jordan jumped in after her, and
held her above the freezing water until
both were fished out. The risk of the
venture was augmented by the fact
that the lady weighed about 200 pounds.
She was II daughter of the late Mr..
Stryker.
Mr.. Jordan refused to tell her his name,
but Mr. Striker discovered it after pro
traeted inquiries, and his daughter sent
Mr.. Jordan 800. Mr.. Jordan returned
it with note saying in substanc e that he
did not save persons from death for

1t is enough to make Kentucky mule
smile to hear Democrats asserting that
Jonathan Dixon is not friend to, or
sympathizer with, the honest poor man,
when there is not n living man in New
Jersey who has known more what honest
aud honorable poverty is than Jonathan
Dixon, or who has more bonorably or
