Of the French campaign in Tonquin and the

the majority which the ministry secured in

Professor Samuel Harris's portly volume on seThe

nation of human nature with reference to the ca
pacity of man to know and serve God The inouirv

the reader will expect to find this volume full of
value The expectation will not be disappointed.

expressed SO clearly that the condemnation does NOT
lead to obscurity. The discussion takes wide
ranges it is philosophical aesthetic and ethical as
well as theological. Beginning with a thorouob
discussion of the psychological foundation of knowl
edge it successfully defends the validity and reality
Oh knowledge. and clearly distinguishes the yari
GUS KINDS and sources of knowledge In the course
OF this discussion DR.. Harris necessarily examines
the various forms CT modern empiricsm and demon
sVates tnelr msut1ciency to account for the facts
Of human nature
The second part of the volume deals with the nj
Innate realities discoverable by man, being, and
its modes of existence tru th right beauty the good
and the absolute. After this discussion of the OBJ
ects of the intellect, the author takes up the sens
bilites and the will. The volume increases in in
terest as we go ON. The next point discussed is the
existence of personal being-whether man is aught
else than living body-whether he has in him a
spiritual being This, of course, involves discus
sion of modern materialism, and of it's assertion
that life is merely mode of motion. The discus.
sion is carried on with ability and fairness There
is nothing in the volume which can Justly be OBJ
jected to as uncourteous, or narrow minded. But
the conclusion of the whole the same as that at
which Benjamin Pierce arrives, in his work on can
alytical Mechanics: namely, that sthere is one God
and science is the knowledge of him." Dr. Harris
gives in this volume evidence, not only of great
power of mind, and of patient thought upon the
fundamental problems of human being and destiny;
but evidence, aso of careful snd extensive reading
both among ancient and modern writer The vol
is it were library of philosophy and theol-
gy in itself, and the who reads it patiently and
and with unprecedented mind. cannot but be de-
lighted and instructed. He will have gained, not
only clear view of the position of modern chris
tian thought but of the various forms of philoso-
ply, ancient and modern, which are inconsistent
with the acceptance of christian theology In other
words the who carefully reads this volume will
have attained, in the pleasantest and easiest man
ner, quite respectable education in theology and
metaphysics.

e. K. SOLLLDAY.

The gentleman whose name heads these
paragraphs is q veteran in the iewelry
and matchmaking trade, though he is any
thing but patriarchal in appearance.
Forty five years ago he began learning
his trade at Doylestown with his uncle,
Samuel Solliday, now of New Hope.
Those were the days of the old-fashioned
Dutch day clocks, and E. X. Solliday
helped Construct a number-the last one
that he assisted in making is now the pro-
perty of his uncle and former instructor.
In 1851 Mr.. Solliday engaged in trade at
New Hope, where he remained until re-
moving to Lambertville i'll 1874. Since
then he has conducted his present estab-
lishment. Nor do we think that he has
had occasion to regret making this change
of location. He has retained large per
cent. of his old trade and has attracted
much more, so that, in fact his business
has shown constant improvement. Last
wears increase in trade was decidedly
gratifying, having been fully 20 per cent.
more than for 1881. a cash business is
adhered to as closely as possible-Mr.
Solliday, like sensible man, would rather
have goods in stock than accounts upon
books, and it would be well for the entire
community were more of our merchants
of the same way of thinking.
The visitor to Mr. Solliday's jewelry
store will note that the goods carried in
stock are almost wholly Of the better class
A very attractive display is made of silver

The roads are fine at present but the
work of the everseers is badly needed in
some places.
We believe we have noticed slight
improvement in portion of our plank
walk A few loose boards have been
fastened with nails.
Query--if several of our residents should
repair their own plank walks, how long
would it be before we would have COM
plete new walk from the village to the
station?
Business is thriving in our village and
we shall expect to see money plenty dur
lug the Summer. The plank walk af-
fords an opportunity for small invest
ment of it.
The stone steps of the Presby terrain
Church have undergone long needed and
marked repairs. The steps have been ro
placed and made firm and stout iron rail
ings placed along side of them.
CAN that glitters is not gold Several
nails in the loose boards of part of our
plank walk may glitter but the person
that steps on one of them and runs il
through the sole Of his shoe, is more apt
to recall and repeat much harser phrase.
Quoits still continue as the favorite
game for many hereabouts. The 'cham-
pionship season" opened in early March
and will not close till the cold blasts of
late December set in, with possible lex
ira session. some time in January or
February. The prize medal will be
awarded in due time. Persons in car
riages DESTROYS of going down the Tren-

and 0 p. NJ. Except during five minutes

disturbance or confusion in the contests.
By request Of committee.
Our exertions are at last rewarded and
soon we hope to enjoy the fruits of that
reward We are informed that our faded
"Sunfower' is soon to be torn down and
new building erected in its place. Three
cheers for the p. II. r. We imagined
that the unpleasant "odor" of that de-
caying "fower,' would in time, produce
an effect upon the "senses" OF the p II.
r. Company. We trust this matter will
not be delayed but the work will COM
mence as soon as possible, so that when
the scorching rays Of the midsummer sun
are pouring down, we may enjoy the
shade and cool breezes in new, neat and
comfortable station. We hope to see the
plan of the building call for separate
waiting rooms for ladies and gentlemen.
The p. r. II. Co., generally do things
right when they once get started and now
as we have them agoing, we may expect
to see neat and beautiful station before
many months elapse. POP.

8. GOLDMAN.

The philadelphia Clothing Store has
become one of tie institutions of the city,
and during the few years that it has been
in existence in Lambertville it has made
name and place for itself that worthily
calls for mention in this review.
1t is now between four and five years
since Mr.. Goldman came here from Phil
adelphia and established the enterprise
which he has since conducted. 1t was a
business with which he was thoroughly
familiar, however for he had there been
connected with the clothing trade for ten
or eleven years, and, though upon COM
ing here he was a complete stranger to
this community, he seemed to have an in
tuitive idea of the needs of the people SO
far as his trade was concerned. He Sc
cured capital location at the corner of
Union and Church streets, and nc one can
accuse him of having spared any honor
able effort to make this corner head
quarters for large per cent. Of the cloth
ing trade that comes to the city.
While in the store the other day we
particularly noticed not only how large
was the stock carried but how we'll it was
kept. 1t does not have the appearance of
having been mussed over by untold gen
erations of people-on the contrary it
looks bright and fresh, and is what it
seems to be. One disadvantage Mr.. Gold
man labors under-he has not nearly
enough room for his stock aud as we
peeped behind the counters we noticed
that the space was nearly filled with hats
and caps for which there is neither
counter nor shelf room. Hats and caps,
by the way, are specially of the trade,
and SO are gentlemen's furnishing goods,
and the latest and "nobbest' styles are
shown. The styles are very handsome
this spring, while prices are lower than
usual.
Inquiry as to prices in the clothing de-
partment developed this fact : That full
suits of mems clothing are sold as low as
$3.50 each, and they are really right good
