LETTER FROM RINGoES.
RrNaors. n. j.. Aprll 30. 1883.

RINeoEs, N. j., April 80, 1888.
The ''Srnfiower" is the only thing that
refuses to change its appearance this
Spring.
A number of improvements could be
made with some of the crossings of our
village.
The dandelion with its beautiful yellow
flower, is beginning to appear along the
waysides.
We are glad to learn that the frosts Of
last week produced no serious effect upon
the buds of our fruit trees.
The beauty of the green grass along
our plank walk is marked by the dilapi-
dated condition of our walk.
Our citizens are frequently heard talk
ing of the advantages our village would
afford by the proposed connection of the
Lehigh Valley r. r., with our branch
road. If such should take place there is
perhaps "slght" possibility of the "Sun-
flower" being removed. May we all re-
joice in such possibility.
We are informed by the owner of the
Seminary in this village, that the school
in that building will reopen September
Sd, in charge of the Misses Keiffer, of
Lewisburg, Pa. These ladies are spoken
of as being thoroughly qualified and com
petent for the work. The school will be
conducted in such manner as to afford
every and all possible advantage and bene-
/ fits to its pupils and patrons. Hereaft or
the school will be kept permanently open
and it is hoped our citizens will give it
liberal patronage.
Some boys have lately been throwing
/ the loose boards Of our plank walk into
+ the bitches along the road. This act of
mischief has rendered the walk 10 much
worse condition than it formerly was. Ia
fact in places, it has made it dangerous
for pedestrians at night. AS the cores
pondeut of the Republican suggests, the
right application of muscle would be de-
t cided benefit to these malicious fellows.
/ Our village contains some boys who are
1 gifted with an extra amount of impotence
and supposed smartness and a good les
son at the hands of some of our citizens
would be OF value to them in the regula-
tien of their behavior in the future
This last act should not be tolerated for
a moment but speedy justice should be
rendered these malicious fellows.

of this village, celebrated the Gath ami.
versary of the establishment of Odd Eel
lowship in the United States last Thurs,
day evening, by assembling in the Baptist
! Church and listening to discourse by

pearance. The church was comfortably

being himself member of the order could
better speak of the advantages it affords
its members. The lodge of this village is
in fiourishing condition and its benefit

For THE RBCoRt
THE MONTH OF MAY.


One way and another, at various times,
the month of May has had peculiar re-
lgious distinction.
The heather Romans celebrated, on its
opening days, the festivals of Flora and
of Bona Dea, the goddesses of the flowers
and Of purity The Celtic nations had
similar customs; and thence originated
the gladstone May day ceremonies of our
English ancestors, gathering the early
Spring blooms, dancing round the May
pole, and setting up, in every village, the
fairest maiden to be "Queen of the May
By the modern Roman Catholics, since
the recent decree of the Immaculate Con
ception, it has been appropriated in a
special manner to the honor of the Nir.
gin, and has gained the name Of ''the
month of Mary
About one generation back, it was the
time chosen for the great annual gather
ings Of the Evangclic Alliance and other
religious assemblages of Professionals, the
Abolitionist and other philanthropic So
cieties in America. New York was crowd
ed with those who regarded ''the May
| Anniversaries" as the most entertaining
and profitable occasions of their lives
and during two successive weeks Phila-
delphia enjoyed the sight of city full Of
friendly broadbrms and plain bonpets,
the opponents of the two bands into
which the heresy of Elias Hicks had split
the Quaker Society. OF the May ami
versaries we hear no more and the year
ly meetings Of the Friends attract far less
interest and make less impression in any
way on American Society, than when
some of us were boys.
The Protestant Episcopal Church, more
than any other body Of Christians or
I Philanthropists, seems now to occupy the
month as the annual Conventions in a
| large number of its Dioceses assemble in
May and some Of its Colleges and its
Theological Seminaries hold their com
mencements in the same month.
The New Jersey Convention, this year,
meets in St. Paul's Church, Camden, on
Tuesday the 9Th and that of northern
New Jersey two weeks later. The Church
men of Pennsylvania will be convened at
4 Philadelphia, in the week intervening.
The Trustee meeting and Commence
ment of the General Theological Semi
nary-that take place next week--wil.be
marked by very interesting event, the lay
/ ing of the corner stone of "Sherrerd Hall,
which is the first in range of large and
beautiful buildings that are to replace the
two stern, grim looking edifices, erected
on the noble plot of ground in Chelsea,
near the Hudson river, about sixty years
ago.
But this same month of May is stamped
with higher and more enduring marks of
religious signlficauce than any hitherto
noticed.
Forty days after Easter, this year, it is
the 3D. of May-comes the solemn ami
yersary of the risen Christ's return to
Heaven, tie ascension Of our Lord.
And ten days later is Whit.Sunday, the
old Jewish Pentecost, newly consecrated
and Christanized by the coming to earth
of the Holy Ghost. the Comforter.

Prof Taylor, the illusionist, gave four
entertainments in Holcombe Hall, closing
last evening. He drew crowded houses,
but whether his performance or the gift
scheme drew the audiences, it is hard to
tell. 1t is probable however, that large
numbers were drawn there by the hope of
winning prize. The gift plan of con-
Quoting entertainments is of questionable
propriety. 1t educates people into a
taste for ventures of a more extensive ma
ture, and trains them to risk money in
chances where there are great prospects
and very small fruitions. Such perform
ances as those given by Prof. Taylor are
SO excellent and pleasing, that they merit
liberal patronage without any such in
ducements as CHANGING for gifts

Bismarck Hot Against the Retchstag.
BERLIN, June 1O.-Prinee Bismarck's
threat of dissolving the Reichstag is followed
by talk of even more aggressive measures
which may mean in the end an abolition of
the Reichstsg itself, at least in its present
form Men who are in the Chancellor's con-
fidence say that he has given pronounced ex-
preston to his belief not only that radical
constitutional changes should be made, but
that they can be made without seri-
Gus difficulty. He is quoted as having said
that the constitution of the German empire
was not by any means either popular or Or
ganic and that 1t was solely the result of a
treaty between the various German SOW
ereigus and the free cities. The agreement
being in the nature Of treaty he maintains
that the contracting parties are as much at
liberty to abolish it as they were to conclude
it and that they have the power OF any time
to amend or obrogate the treaty (constitu-
tion) and adopt in its place one radically diff
ferent in character and one which
body as the Reichstag which
it created. 1t is even argued that the polit-
ical oath would be no obstacle, since no one
has sworn to support forever the imperial
constitution. The liberal journals rldlcule
the possibility of any such policy. and char
acterize the suggestion as made for the pur-
pose of influencing members of the Reich
stag to such an extent if possible as to save
the government from another defeat which
might make the dissolution of the legislative
body unavoidable.

General LoSUns Niece-FHrtatfOns and
Secret Marriage With a Soldier.
ALBUQUERQUE, June 1O.-A special says
that Santa Fe, socially speaking, is just now
raked from center to circumference. Eva
Cunningham is the niece of Mrs. General ia.
Logan. She is inexperienced in the ways of
the world, having been shut up in a CON-
vent all her life and never having
beeU permitted to freely cultivate
the society of gentlemen. Some time since
while guest of Paymaster Tucker she opened
a second story window, flirting with Sergeant
S. S. Errett of the Twenty-second Infantry.
Next appointments were made and they met
and walked along the banks of the Rio Chi
quita and in the hills among the caeha, sage
brush and scrub cedars. Mrs. Tucker was
always under the impression that her little son
Logan was out for walks with Miss Cunning
ham when in truth and in fact that youn G
lady had left him at play in Major Bailhache s
place and started off alone to meet her lover.
Finally it all leaked out, and fearing that the
storm was about to burst on their
heads, Sergeant Errett and Miss
Cunningham slipped quietly away about a
week ago and hunting up a minister they
were secretly married The secret was kept
until Friday when the storm came. The
young lady was called on to explain. This
she did by the confession of her secret
marriage. What followed is I'M
known precisely, but this much is
fact. Senator Logan said that he did not
mean to have any such nonsense around
him. Sergeant Errett was summoned, a
minister was called in, and again in the
presence of the household Miss Cunning
ham and her soldier boy lover were de-
clared husband and WIFE
