THE GREAT NIGHT PROCESSION.
1t was aftef nightfall when the pro-
ees ion began t0 form again ct the park
and turned its face toward the city BY
that time large, number Of 6rganizd-
tions had arrived that had Hot tdkeU
part in the morning march. A number
lad gone over from New York and sew
sral had arrived from out of town, SO
that when the head Of the line reached
the rink, where the governor was to hold
his reception, the tail end was about
leaving the park. ALI along the line
there was tremendous enthusiasm The
streets were packed with people, and
the governor was kept busy dofing his
hat through long lane of blazing
torches, In response to the cheering.
The public reception at the rink was
great success. Governor Cleveland,
with a large delegation of the committee
of arrangements, stepped upon the plat
form at half past 8 o'clock. This was q
signal for tremendous and long continued
cheering of tie part of the crowd that
filed every portion of the building.
The moving throng at the outset re-
spected the clubs Of the bluecoats and
contented itself with merely looking
upon the governors portly form and
cheering him enthusiastically. Pretty
soon, however, disposition to shake
the governors hand by the crowd, and q
resistless rush was made toward him.
The police tried to beat the people
back with their clubs and a dozen bufl7
committeeman sprang to the assistance
Of the police, but their combined efforts
were Of no avail. The would-be protec-
tors of the governor were completely
overrun, and for more than half an houi
the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency was obliged to shake hands al
the rate of thirty shakes minute. He
grasped each hand as it was presented
and replied pleasantly to many of TN
salutations.
Governor Cleveland with several o.
the committee, left the Rink at quarter
past 10 O'clock, and was driven to tn,
Fifth Avenue hotel, in New York city
where the governor sojourned for thu
night. He left fer Albany the mex
morning.

Mowlnu SaIt Marsh Grass.

A receft issue Of the New York Sun
says: A busy sight may now be seen
daily on the salt meadows that spread in
wide stretches about Newark bay and
on both sides Of the Hackensack river
Workmen are harvesting the annual
crop of salt hay that grows in rich pro-
fusion on almost every foot Of the
marshes. Hundreds of men are at work
moving, raking, and stacking the coarse
rank grass after the primitive method,
with scythe, mandrake, and pitchfork.
No machinery can be made available on
the meadows, for there are few places
where the miry ground viii bear the
weight of horse. Even the mowers
are sometimes caught in the treacberous
mire, and cases have been known where
their rescue was accomplished only after
hours Of effort on the part Of fellow
workmen, who must direct their labors
SO as not to endaHger themselves
Thousands of large haycocks are visi-
bic over the length and breadth Of the
Jersey marshes. Laboring in these great
harvest fields that rest on watery foun-
dations is not attended with that Area
dian charm which is associated with the
same work among clover and timothy
There is no suggestion of lowing kline,
no sweet scented breath of new-mown
hay, no rest at noon-day beneath cool.
spreading trees The fragrance Of the
salt meadows that is waited from slug
gish bitches and stagnant pools ehoked
with the decaying vegetation Of years,
and from the great spaces Of oozy, maln-
rious slime which the receding tide ex-
poses to the sun. Mosquitoes are born in
millions in these congenial breeding
spots, and swarm constantly about thea
ears of the mowers
This salt hay, after being cut and
stacked, is left in the meadows until
winter weather has so stifened the
marshes that horses may be safely driven
on them Then the hay is hauled to the
farms or premises Of the owners. This
hay is priced and principally used az
stable bedding, although it serves in
some places as food for cattle, especially
if upland hay is scarce and high Large
quantities or it are sold in Newark and
Elizabeth to livery stables, brewers and
manufacturers for bedding for horses. II

feel like paying for it, although in some
seasons it has brought s. ton.

WORDS or WISDOM.

Moderation is the wise mans treasure.
A rich dress is not worth straw to
one who has poor mind.
The best and most important part of
mans education is that which he gives
himself.
self-interest rules the world. Party is
the madness Of the many for the gain of
the few.
He who is pulled upwith the first gale
of prosperity will bend beneath the first
blast Of adversely.
The most innocent pleasures are the
sweetest, the most sensible, the most af-
fecting and most lasting.
The power Of applying an attention,
steady and undissipated, to single OBJ
ieet, is the sure mark of superior mind.
1t is wonderful how silent man can
be when he knows his cause is just, and
how boisterous he becomes when he
knows he is in the wrong.
There should be as little merit in 10y
ing woman for her beauty as in loving
a man for his pfosperityi both being
equally subject to change
In every relation of life We must bear
and forbear; we must not expect perfec-
ton, and each party should carry tha
cloak of charity for the other.
These times are the ancient times,
when the world is ancient, and not those
which we account ancient by a computa-
ton backward from ourselves.

While there Is much truth in the dolorous re-
marks heard from time to time about the defense
less condition OF our coasts, IL should be claimed
that In the event, even OF a sudden war, our SEA-
board cities are at the mercy of an enemy.
IL would not do, for instance, for any ann
bilious foreign potentate to lightly take the
contract OF bomoarding New York. Not to
speak OF tOrpedoes and other military pro-
lection, that city Is peculiarly guarded by nature
10y the difficulties OF both water and land approach.

OF peace, the indus v OF another week o. month
could restore it. So of other cities including the
capital i nonsense TO talk Of q hostile feet

But al this discussion Of naval attack on our
Seaboard assumes two improbabilities,-a sudden
ouburst OF war, and failure our part TO secure
an alliance. As matter OF fact, In case OF a war,
we could get all the ships and guns we wanted. and
have what time was requisite to bring them here
or where they would do the most good. nation

Us, out we could get what we wanted for money.
Then we should not forget that any attack which
paralyZed trade with America by blockade. other
wise. would hurt other nations, and particularly
Great Britain TO such runous extent that the In
terruption would not be tolerated Not only are our
breadstu1s. cotton and other products necessary
for Europe but the vast carrying trade is entirely
In foreign hands. Hence, IL there was really any
possibility OF serious trouble. the nations whose
