may be added for the benefit of future bographers
of Colonel Lamont that for many years he was
connected with the New-York Legislature, not as a
aw-maker but in the higher aud nober capacity
OF chronicIer and critic of lawmakers. In word,
lie was there a newspaper man. And those who
knew him In those days unite IN saying that II he
does as we'll by President Cleveland as he did by
the paper which he served while he was "a mem-
Der of the New-York Assembly," it will not be his

A most encouraging indication of the resoluts
bearing of the Republican party in the hour of de-
men in various quarters. We are receiving in
ouiries from several cities respecting the consttu-
tion and bylaws of the Brooklyn Young Repub-
lcan Club In Syracuse group Of Republicans
are anxious TO form a similar organization, and in
White Plains there are seventy-ive young Repub-
licans who are already taking steps to the same
end We take great pleasure in commanding the
BROOKLYN Young Republican Club as a good model
for all similar organizations OF young men through
out the country All requests for Information con-
cerning the constitution and methods of that club
ssould be addressed to the secretary, at No. POI

Tho residents of Englewood, New-Jersey. may
nroperly be indignant at the cruel attempts OF
scientists to beitte their experiences. They de-
clare positively that they felt an earthquake shock
in their town about Il o'clock Sunday night. Ger
tain scientific gentlemen, however, coohy assert
"rwas but the wind or the car street carr
rafting on the stony street." Ii Is now the turn
of the Englewood people to point to the dispatches
from New-Iampshire which contain accurate ac-
counts of two earthquake shocks that occurred
there an hour or 50 later than the New-Jersey al
fair. The probabilities are in favor Of the Englc-
wood people
