in her home, No. 3Ol Halsey street, Newark, n j.,
talking along the line which the conversation had
taken. Whatever special things it may do be-

though the REMEDY were an architect like
Michael Angelo OF Sir Christopher Wren Now,
being woman" she continued, II ought to know
something about the needs and troubles of my
own sex in this particular direction, and I do.
Women don't need to be drowned in medicine
just because they are subject to many different
kinds of sickness, but they do need in the house
something to take for u thousand matters that
they don't want to run to the doctor about"
For instance said her auditor, suggestively.
For instance echoed Mrs. Brant 'the sense
of feebleness and sense OF lassitude which most
women, especially mothers and housekeepers-
feel in the Spring when the weather is growing
warmer and the cares of their position appear to
become more numerous and heavy. NV experi

Mr.. Jacob Kienzle, proprietor of the
West Jersey Steam Soap Works, is one
OF our most enterprising citizens. He
has recently removed his soap establish
ment to the large mortar brick building
at the foot of Broad street, West Bridge
ton, site splendidly adapted to the
needs of his extensive and growing bust
ness. The new factory is complete in
every department. There is in the boil
ing room two large vats constantly in
operation, turning out raw material.
The soap after its manufacture into bars
and cakes is put through moulding
machine and handsomely stamped.
Those who have never visited Mr. Kien-
zle's factory can hardly conceive the
magnitude and variety of the business.
Among the specimens of soap which he
manufactures we noticed the following
Labor Saving" Diamond" IS IT,
German Erasive," Poor Man's,n
"Olive, palm, ""Oleine, "''Borax," and
fancy toilet soaps of all kinds. He also
makes splendid article of brown and
variegated CASTLE soap, and has for sale
the real oldfashioned CASTLE, Imported.
There is on exhibition at this factory a
small tug boat, made out of CASTLE soap,
(red and white) by Mr.. Fremont Weeks,
one of Mr.. kienzle's employees. 1t is a
very pretty, as well as ingenious piece of
workmanship Among other products
Mr.. kienzle sells the Illuminated Glyce-
rine Soap, which is among the best in the
market Twenty thousand pounds of
soap per week, is the amount manufac-
tured at this Broad street establishment
when in full operation. The proprietor
deserves great credit for building up
such an industry, and he ought to be
sustained by generous public patron

The suggestion made in ali afternoon
coternporary, that the city purchase the
old Session House ON Pearl street, and
convert it into school building in the
First ward, is not a good one. When
the school house is built it should be of
brick, with all the modern improvements.
We have a sufficient number of wooden
traps called school houses" now, with
out adding to the number. The Board
of Education will do the right thing by
seeing to it that such school building
is erected Oh North Pearl street as will
be comfortable, convenient. and adapted
to the wants of the children. The little
folks are the wards of the city, and they
should receive careful and healthful
treatment. ''Cramp the body, and you
cramp the mind" The days of pig sty
school buildings are at an end. The
authorities must give the public some
thing modern.

The general sale of reserved seats for
the performance of 1.-The Creation" on
next Tuesday evening, by the Bridgeton
Musical Union, began on last Tuesday
morning, and already six hundred seats
have been sold, including those taken by
associate members This is the most
gratifying proof which the management
could desire, of the interest awakened
by this, the first attempt to perform an
oratorio entire in this city. If it proves
as successful as this extraordinary sale
of reserved seats indicates, the Spring
of each year will be marked by a similar
performance, which the management
will endeavor to make matter of public
interest and pride, and an event to which
our citizens will look forward each year,
on the tiptoe of expectation. For a
performance of this character, all seats
are good, and as the Opera House will
seat one thousand persons, it will be
seen that plenty of good seats are still
to be had. Seats can be reserved in any
part of the house, without extra charge.

his party faithfully and WELL During

he tells many interesting anecdotes, illus
trative of the lamented Presidents s kind

New YORK, Jan. 29.-This afternoon,
two italian BARRIERS employed in the
shop at No. 81 Bowery, thinking to
play practical joke on one of their
fellow workmen named Gustano Posli-
ano, took advantage of his absence and
filled his pipe with powder, placing en-
top a layer of tobacco. When he re-
turned he lit his pipe, and immedi-
ately afterward there was an explosion,
and Posliano ran from the place howl
ing with pain. Blood was streaming
from mis- eyes and several wounds in
his face. The wouldbe jokers, now
thoroughly alarmed, led him back to
the shop, and, going to the Elizabeth
Street Station House, summoned
an ambulance from St. Vincent's hoe
pital. The surgeon dressed his wounds,
which we're serious, and expressed
grave doubt as to whether he would
ever recover the use Of one of his eyes,
which was badly injured. Posliano was
then taken home, and the police Of the
Eldridge street police station arrested
William Guaranto, of No. % Roosevelt
street, and James Monitria, of No. Al

joke, and arraigncd them before Justice
Duffy at the Essex Market police court,
where they were charged with assault,
Posliano appearing against them. They
were held to answer in default OF $500
bail each.

THE astronomers of Europe have
just p,id tribute to the diligent and
accurate work of the Harvard observ-
a'ory by joining in II request that it be
made the center of astronomic Il OF
servations for the United States. Dor
ing last year the observatories of Eu-
rope recognized the advisability of 'ys-
tematic astronomic research, and fifty
of them formed union under the
presidency of the observatory at KEEL,
Prussia. During observations of the
late comet, the propriety of extending
the same systematic organization to
the observstorie of this country forced
itself upon the European union, and
the Harvard observatory was agreed
upon rs the one most capable of filling
the position in this country occupied
in Europe by the Kiel observatory.
