Current Notes.

Diana Ramsey died in Savannah q
few days since, aged 104. She was .
slave in the family of Gen. r. H. An
derson, nursed nearly all the children
and remained with unaltered fidelity in
spite of emancipation. Since the war
she has been cared for by her old mas
ter's family.
The larvae of butterflies and moths
are called caterpillars; those of beetles,
grubs; those offies, maggors, and those
of mosquitoes, wigglers. The terms
~larv;e, pnpa, the bee state is reached by
a very gradual change of form, so that
it is difficult to say where the pupa ends
and the image begins. In fact, a large
number of insects reach maturity
through an Indefinite number of slight
changes. The bumblebee moults at
least ten times before arriving at the
winged state.
The Manitoba smugglers are shipping
whisky across the line as onions, pork,
flour, fish, or anything that is handled
in large quantities. A recent strike
made by the customs officers amounted
TO 1884 bottles of fire water valued at
S. per bottle. 1t was poured out on
the dry and frosty earth. Crowds Of
drier and f~rostier men still gather
around the spot and sigh.
Miss Emma French living near Stock
ton, CAL, went into the fields the other
day to shoot geese, accompanied by
her brother. The young Indy carried
a parlor rife, and at a time when it was
pointed to the ground, it went off, shat
tering one of her toes. She came into
the city and consulted DR.. Hudson and
submitted to on amputation of the

that she could be placed under the in

Well, you never know whether g is OF

"An' after'er pacin' off Mr.. Reginald,
the stuck-up piece" said Mary, who
had a sweetheart of her own she thought
the world of.
The weeks slipped into months, and
the months numbered eighteen before
saw Josepha again.
She was ill, and wrote for me to come
to her. No. 6 Beverly square was the
address, and the neighborhood was most
aristocratic. No. 6 was an imposing
stone house of the m~ausoleum type.
In answer to my ring there appeared an
understood footman, whose gravity OF
demeanor carried out the funereal idea
| suggested by the house itself. Untold
millions could not have tempted him to
smile.
He went off with my card, and by and
by Josepha-orher ghost-trailed down
the stairs. To give you an idea of how
weak she was, let me tell you that
there were two tears in her eyes when ]
took her hands. Josepha, end Josepha
reduced to womanly tears. 1t was diff
ticult to reconcile the two.
/ saw my chance and took advantage
of it. Now, while she was unfit for
work, homesick and needing q change.
she must make Durand a visit. Mrs.
Marwood knew how to make my guests
comfortable, and nothing would suit
me better.
l listened to no remonstrances, and
when she had consented / put IN end
to the last ''but" with asly hint that she
had better improve the present oppor-
tunity to visit her old home, for the old
gentleman who had bought it intended
to dispose Of it soon.
bore Josepha away on the S o'clock
train, much to the disgust of my lady,
who was losing a governess such as
Beverly square should not 500 again
see.
The quiet andSthe change did work a
wonderful change. Josepha in a fort
night was almost herself, and queened
it over me in her own delightful way.
She began to talk of going back to
London again, and n afternoon asked
for the keys to the place.
I had made my plans to head her of.
but this time l sent no kilograms. I
simply waited until the afternoon sun
was low, and then l followed her.
I found her, as l knew I should, be-
fore her fathers portrait. Her head
was thrown back, her face uplifted, her
hands thrown behind her.
"Josepha," L said, speaking as
naturally as I could-I had a most ex-
asperating lump in my throat-'the
wedding for which this house was de-
signed a gift never came Off. The old
fellow doesn't know what to do with it,
and, in fine, says if you will take it back
-and-himself into the bargain, he'll
be no end obliged"
Her eyes lit up, the loveliest color
CAME to her cheek. I kissed her, for I
saw l might. And when the first stars
came out we walked together through
the fields and our troth was plighted.

THE SENATORIAL soUAssLE.

The Chief in its last weeks issue de-
votes considerable space to a squelcher
on the candidacy of Mr.. Granger. It
admits that Mr.. Granger is very nice
man, but la. me, he can't be compared
to the proprietor of the Chief, of course
not. Oh no.
Then again Horace owns newspaper
to blow his own horn and drug store
to wet his own whistle, two very impor-
tant adjuncts you know, and as the
Chief evidently thinks ought to settle
the matter. MIR. Moulton's paper init
mates that Mr.. Granger is not worker,
and that the owner Of the Chief is a
wonderful worker; further, that il
would be hard to tell where Mr.. Gran.
ger stands on the temperance question,
but Moulton would vote as the majority
of his constituents may direct. We
would ask if he consulted a majority of
Republicans when this same proprietor
of the Chief bolted St. John and voted
for Click ? The HERALD has nothing
against MIR. MOultOn personally, but il
believes his business relations incapac.
itates him to reflect the will of the
people of this County, or this
District on the temperance question.

1t Is customary on assuming the pen
and scissors of public journal in part
or in full, to make a long string of
promises, which may or may not be
falFilled, as the case may be according
to the ability disposition or cOnyeni-
ence of the promiser, But promises
are of little value, deeds not words is
the most satisfactory motto for man to
live by.
In becoming citizen of Phillipsburg
and assuming our share of its industry
and progress, its prosperity and adver-
siEy, we are fully aware that the inter
ests of the HERALD are intimately we'd
ded with the interest of the town aud
county, and we intend to labor for its
advancement in every laudable way,
and in our methods to adhere 70 the
right as is given us to see it.
From former experience we fully I'M
derstand our duties and responsibilities,
duties and responsibilities without in
Permission and from which there is no
release. In our discharge of these we
hope and expect the support of COM
munity who fully appreciate the value
and Importance of the home press as a
factor in the success and onward pro-
gress of our thriving and pleasant little
town and one of the most beautiful
countries in the west. And while dis
charging our duties we hope we shall be
in full accord with the sentiments of our
readers.
We expect to try and keep the HERALD
in the front ranks as real live local
newspaper, and in order to do this we
ask the assistance of our readers in all
parts of the county to send US in the
news from their respective neighbor-
hoods.

This locality is booming. Letter
boom! And now, Messrs. Munger and
Morris have new Irvine binder. There
is plenty for all to do this harvest.
John Uamlin, of Prairie View, was
recently a guest of F. c. johnson, and

Your humble scribe and family spent
81 few hours very ltasantly with Mr..
j. II. Fieisher a few evenings since,
and looked at some as nice common
stock as can be shown anywhere
around. MI. Fleisher has, we think i,
the best spring colt in this part of the
county. He also has some splendid
calves and pigs. He says he is we'll
satisfied with his little flock of sheep.
He came out ahead last year, and his
wool is better and he has more Of it this
year than he had last. He has some
splendid lambs. We think, if any one
wants to know whether it pays TO keep
a small flock Of sheep they could find
out by going to see Mr.. Fleisher. His
crops, like all the rest of his property,
look we'll. We will venture the asser-
ton that, for neat work around the
farm, he takes the lead.
Mr.. Adams sheared % 1-2 pounds of
wool from one of his bucks, and Mr..
Fleisher got 16 1-2 lbs. from his. Trot
out your big tieeees, gentlemen, and let
US know who gets the most wealth from
one sheep.
Good people, don't be afraid to come
out to Sunday School because the wind
blows little. If those who are count
ed as outsiders can turn out, the mem
bers of the church surely can. We are
one of those who have desire TO make
the Sunday School a success, AID this
can only be done by good attendance.
Come then. and fetch your neighbours.

Mr.. Lightfoot. who is a practical

The HERALD in the future as in the

to make it good local paper, only ask
