Mine host and hostess, Mr.. & Mrs. j.
G. French. have perhaps received the
most handsome and costly present and
memento of any in the land aud which
is worthy of our mention. 1t consists
of a large Silver Ice Pitcher, with Re-
ceptacle and Goblets. On the pitcher
is engraved the following: "Mr. &
Mrs. j. G. French, From the Guests
of 1885," The receptacle and goblets,
as well as the pitcher, are solid silver
and lined inside with gold, making it
the most gorgeous gift of remembrance
We have yet had the pleasure to look
upon. 1t was presented by the "guests
of 1897 as an evidence of their apple
citation of Mine Hosts efforts to pro.
mote their pleasure and comforts while
abiding with him, and for his constant
and devoted attention to their bodily
and spiritual welfare. The Hotel de
French is indeed gaining d wide spread
reputation, and all those who spend a
a short vacation there once, will not,
and do not fail to go again.

Says the Woodstown Register"
''About fifteen years ago Il farmer
named Bradshaw, living in Gloucester
county, failed in business and decided
to take Greeley's advice and Go West'
His wife in a fit of vexation told him
to go as far as he could get. Nothing
was heard from him until few months
ago, people generally supposing him
dead. A letter then came from the
Sandwich Islands. e~ntreating his
friends, if any were living, to send him
a full account of the old folks at home,
as he had not heard a word from them
during all that time. He had surely
taken his wife (who is still livine) at
her word with a vengence."

Some South Pennsgrove girls while
plodding homeward IN Saturday even
ing last, said they wished they could
get a ride home. A sleigh was ap-
preaching, and when opposite one of
the trio asked for a ride to the Cove.
1t b2ing one of these large old fashion
ed sleighs and only two occupants, the
driver answered in the affirmative and
stopped ON the railroad. The belle of
the crowd, in fact Of the Cove, advar-
,ced to inquire Of the gentlemens han
die, or more properly speaking, names.
So much time was lost in parleying
that the fellows became cold and drove

atoms thrown in. / felt like walking

sleigh, when l saw the small trio pro-
coed towards their destination on foot,
as she has always been my hearts de-

and so they passed on, quarreling be-
tween themselves because they did not
get Il tide.
Not a Christmas present did | get,

THE National Board Of Health
seems to have had something laid up
for rainy day. The lah-de, dahs at
Washington who never saw case of
yellow fever, and never intend to, have
discovered that they can hold out
until the first of July, and do not
promise to die officially even then.
Perhaps another fund will be diseov,
cred to run through with. Mean
time, the people of the Mississippi
valley are expected to raise money to
keep this miserable fraud in existence,
to support fancy, useless bureau at
Washington. If a quarantine is
needed on the river or at any point on
the railroad south OF Memphis, and
the people have to pay for it, let them
control it through the local authori-
ties. Bnt if the government has to
pay the expense OF quarantine, we say
first, last and all the time that
it should be done through the
Marine Hospital Service, a well es.
tablished and legitimate institution,
The so called National Board an.
nounces that it has ceased quarantin.
ing at all points, against smallpox
This is not the disease it desires to hear
of. A yellow fever sensation, such as
former Secretary predicted once, would
be God send to the hungry gang al
Washington, bowling on for cpidemici
and more appropriations. The
epidemic fund has beer
placed under the control of theMarint
Hospital service, branch thorough,
ly equipped and in every way compe,
tent for any emergency likely to arise
This fund is not in the hands OF am
State Board of Health, and should no
and will not be. The Marine Hospi
tai service will not get up any sensa
tons to alarm the people and injurr
business, but it can be depended upor
not to build any Benner boats or Il
organize pleasure excursions. Thil
whole question was thoroughly dis
cussed in Congress aud the proper
course was taken by that body and th,
President in consigning the Natiera
Board of Health to the shades O
things that are passing aud should
pass away forever.
