The dealers in tblaclx diamonds, taxi

and New Hope, are numerous enough,
and concerning some of the representa-

THE RECORD to make mention in this
review. The gentleman whose name
heads these paragraphs is our victim "
to-day.
Mr. Heath is a native of Hunterdon
county, and in this and in Bucks counties
lie has passed his life. He used to be a
farmer-indeed that was the occupation
of his life until twenty-three years age,
when he became landlord Of the York
street hotel, and he continued keeping
that house for three years, during which
time he admits that he made lots of
money. 1t was a business he did not
like, however, so he got out of it, and in
1864 he engaged in the coal trade. Even
at that time there were three 9th er yards
here. Mr.. Heath began business on
Coryell street by the canal, where Mr..
Bray's yard now is, and he was alone

The gentleman to whom we now refer
is one of the representatives of the drug
trade of Lambertville, and his pleasant
store, No. Al Church ST., was one of our
objective points the other day while in
search Of items for publication in this

1t seems that the business was origin

succeeded three years ago. He has been
longer with the trade, however, having
now had about eight years constant ex-
perience in 1t.

A Smart Cat.
Some items having lately appeared in
the papers about the intelligent actions of
the feline family in various parts of the
State brought our old friend the Lock
town Granger, Uncle Billee Hummer,
down one day last week to enter his cat
among the smart ones. Uncle Billee is
one of the few men who are determined
to keep the county in the front rank of
the parade, and in no particular will he
allow her to struggle behind, whether it
be in showing up big pumpkin, long
bunch of flax, or cat that knows her
a. b. c's. The name of this wonderful
cat we forgot to ascertain, but we guess
it's "Trix." She is up to them. Once
or twice a day "Trix +" goes down to the
brook near her home, and wades into the
water as far as she dares. When a fish
comes within reach she strikes out with
her paw and captures it and totes it home
to eat at her leisure. Now who ever
heard Of a fishing cat before? Again, in
the winter season "Trix y makes a
square jump of six feet, six inches-strict
measure-to mantle piece so as to Sc
cure warm place under the kitchen
stove-pipe. If she happens to be up stairs
and wants to get down she will take her
paw and rattle the latch until some one
opens the door for her. She knows
enough to raise the latch herself but the
door "sticks - a little and will not swing
open. Now here is a cat that possesses
almost human intelligence, and Lock town
takes the 'cat-nip. "-Hunterdo@ Dem

Francis Adelman, we'll known ma
son and bricklayer of Doylestown, died
suddenly on Friday, the Goth ult. He
was an Incorporate man, and the i'm

poison purposely to end his existence. He
had made remarks to friends looking to tho
event, and the evening previous to his
death had purchased arsenic. No inquest
was held. He had no known relatives
living. Adelman some years ago took
the contract to build the Baptist church
ediflce in Lambertville, but threw it up
before it was completed.

Mr.. Jacob s. Durham, of Wertsville,
celebrated the forth anniversary of Amer

down. But it was an accident. The old
patriot was burning heap of brush near
the house when sparks were carried on
the roof, and soon the fine old residence
was in such a blaze that it was impossible
to do much else but stand by and see it
burn. We understand that most of the
goods were saved by some pretty lively
work. The loss will be partly met by in

1t is to the credit of Mayor Jones
thai he gave our people the quietest night
ushering in Fourth that they have known
for years. Usually, the night preceding
the Fourth has been turned into bedlam
by the pounding of drums, the yells of half
grown boys, the firing of guns, canons,
&c, and the use of all things that won Id
make noise. AS result, no one could
sleep, and sick people and those conva-
leseing, were seriously annoyed. On
Tuesday night, there was bat very little
noise, and that was made at intervals
when the police were believed to be at a
distance. We congratulate the Mayor on
his success.

TIE ETERNITY or THE STARS.


Eternal stars, bright orbs of night.
In heavens broad arch above,
You shine afar with trembling light
As lasting as Gods love.
You greet our gaze like CLEANS that glance
From holy angels eyes;
Forever fair, you glisten there
Within the tranquil skies.
Gods form and features are unknown,
His works are wisely planned;
He sits on His tremendous throne
And guides You with His hand
While babes are born, while strong men die,
While kings and thrones decay,
While centuries go gliding by,
On their forgotten way;
Yet still, by night, as bright and fair
The wandering planets roam
As when Gods hand first placed them there,
In their eternal home.
Traditions disappear Of fields
Where furious armies trod.
How insignificant is man,
How great and good is Godi
With mystic light your splendor fell
On Adam while he dreamed,
Upon the worlds destroying Hood
And Babels tower you beamed.
You saw old Abrams hopeful face,
And Sarah as she smiled,
When Hagar to the desert place
Was driven with her child.
On Pharaohs host on Israefs camp,
On Sinai's height you shoHe,
When God descended to declare
And make His mandates known.
You saw the-wealth of Solomon,
And Babylon forlorn,
The shepherds when they watched their flock
The p{vht that Christ WAS born,

Making Gold.


The odd thing is that the alchemists
were probably right in principle, even in
their widest dream. Every fresh adj
vance of chemical science encourages
the belief that the metals, in their vari-
Gus classes, are really identical as to
ultimate substance-indeed, possibly all
of them together, with, it may be, the
other elements, blend into some such
common matter as the scarcely imagi-
nary hydrogenium, of which hydrogen
is the vapor. Dr. Norman Lockver's
researches with the spectroscope tend
to confirm this unity of material; and if
it exists Paracelsus was right, and gold
is merely an allotropic form of other
substances. In saying this. however,
we hasten to reassure the Stock Ex-
change, by adding that theory would
bring chemists none the nearer to prac-
tice in regard of manufacturing gold by
the ton. The student of science can
make palladium or platinum combine
almost miraculouslv with hydrogen. and
melt gold in selenic acid; but he knows
little of that subtle and unapproachable
chemistry by which the Earths primeval
heat fused and formed. under pressures
and conditions inimitable by us her gold
and iron, her salts and crystals. Man
must dig for nuggets and dust still, or
work for the shining stuff with hand or
head. The worst that could happen to
shake the great idol on his metallic
throne would be-what is certainly
geologically possible-the sudden dis
covery of a mother-nugget of gold, a
monstrous central deposit in the
cavernous base of some Australian or
Californian reef, furnishing, say, half a
million tons of specie. That would
shake the markets and send silver up,
but spectators need not fear science,
nor the modern alchemists.
Meanwhile, if we have not inherited
from the ancient Archimages the uni,
versal solvent or the elixir of life, al
least they gave US chemistry. 1t wa;
