A Miracle.

More than twenty years ago, Mrs. James
Reynolds, of Turkey, Monmouth, N. j.,
discovered cancer growing in her left
breast, which grew very slowly until few
wears since when it began to show alarm
ing symptoms. Her husband consulted
several eminent physicians, among whom
was Dr.. Agnew, of Philadelphia, and all
agreeing that it was a rose cancer, and in
durable, and that no human skill could
avail. the cancer having bursted open, be-
coming very painful, reaching such an
enormous size. and become so bad that her
friends despaired >of her life. Provi-
dentially, at this juncture, DR.. E. G. Jones,
the specialist, arrived at Freehold; took the
case February 1st, and has successfully
treated it until positive cure is effected.
After having dried up and dropped out it
measured twenty-five inches IN circumfer-
ence, and weighed more than four pounds.
The wound is healing, and she is improv-
ing rapidly. We insert this in the paper
for the benefit of others suffering from like
maladies, and earnestly recommend that
such shall give him trial = Monmouth En-
quirer, Freehold, N. j., March 20, 1884.
(LATER. Turnkey, NEAR FREEHOLD,
April /, 1851 hereby certify that on
February /, 1884. DR.. e G.. Jones began
the cure of a rose cancer OF twenty years
growth, on the breast of Mrs. James NJ.
Reynolds, which had reached size in cir
cumference of more than twenty two inches
and weighed more than four pounds. 1t
had burst open and discharged for more
than eighteen months, and nearly caused
her death. At this time, April l, 1884, she
is cured without the use of the knife, or
suffering much pain. JAS. M. REYNOLDS.

day, Sunday and Monday-the 29th, the
Both and 31st instants. A large and varied
programme has been arranged for the diff
erent days Of the encampment. That for
Friday embraces q parade through the
county to the park by the different posts,
and the following athletic games, which are
open to all amateurs: 100 yards, 440 yards,
$50 yards and / mile runs; ] mile walk, all
handicap. For Saturday, 29th inst, there

ball match and sham battle. President
Cleveland, Generals Hancock, Sickles,
Sigel and other Union officers, and Fitz
Hugh Lee, of the South, have Keen invited,
and will, in all probability, be present
during the encampmenI. Grand Army
Posts throughout this and other States will
participate during the four days.
At a meeting of Lincoln Post, of Newark
held Monday evening last, the invitation of
the Posts to attend the encampment was
read. Some of the members of Lincoln
Post were opposed to an acceptance of the
invitation because the programme included
games and other secular amusements on
Sunday. Some warm discussion was had
on this point, but it was finally agreed to
accept the invitation.

Who are these men quoted by the New
ark Ne,os's Washington correspondent as
party leaders who hold the destinies of this
little Commonwealth in their hands who
dispose of the Governorship and the United
States Senatorship with the airs of proprie-
tore. and would probably give away every
thing else in the State if it were not beneath
their handling2 We had notion that we
knew all the public men of any account in
the State but we never heard of either of
these potential political magnates. The
Moening Neaos is on speaking terms, too,
with the leaders of political action in the
State, and we doubt if it knows them. The
prophecies of these gentlemen are as ridic-
ulous as they are themselves obscure. The
idea of their foretelling the denomination
of General Mcclellan for the Governorship,
and his selection for the United States SEN
atorship No man has ever retired from
public life in New Jersey with SO small a
following and no man has DINNER
chance of further political preferment.

OMAHA, Neb., August 22.-S. P. Morse &
Co., who purchased the dry goods stock of
Smith, the absconder, for $4,000, in
United States Court, discovered yesterday
in the brsement of Smiths building lot Of
secret drawers and panel closets in which
were many gold and silver watches, a lot of
jewelry, silks, laces, etc., amounting in
value to between SIC, 900 and S15, 900. This
goes with the sale, and will make the pur-
chase Of the stock unexpectedly profitable.
It is supposed that Smith had concealed
these goods for secret shipment, but his
failure coming sooner than expected, he
was obliged to leave them.

The encampment of the National Guards
at Manasquan, has given the people of the
State-who have focked to the tented field
by the thousands AN opportunity to learn
what the State lost by the refusal of the
Legislature to make an appropriation for
the purchase of the site. In four years the
ground would have been worth much
larger sam than its owners demanded
when Governor Albeit decided to recon-
mend its purchase to the Legislature. It
is watering resort that is bound to grow
in popular favor and value. The owners
now refuse to take the money for which
they first offered to sell, and the State has
lost its opportunity. Gov. Albeit, ii will
be remembered, urged the purchase upon
the Legislature last winter, but because he
did not appoint Gen. Sewel to the COM
mand of the State militia, the hay-seed
contingent from South Jersey, refused to
act upon his suggestions.

ssMaxwen confessed" Yes, he confessed
so many things it is hard to keep track of
them all. According to his stories, he
killed and didn't kill Preller. Preller is
dead and isn't dead. He devised plot to
swindle the insurance companies and he
had no insurance on his life, and last of all,
when the trial comes off he will produce
Preller as witness. The fact is, the police
brow-beating system is now so perfect that
prisoner may be driven to confess any
thing that is desired. What the country
most needs just now is a judge with back
bone enough to enforce the law and throw
out of court all confessions obtained in the
manner indicated. 1t is the duty of an Off
Ger, when he arrests man, to warn him
not to say anything that can be used against
him. After that, if he chooses to confess,
all right. But our present system is dis
grace to the so-called administration of JUS
tice.

What Causes Their Decay, and how Decay

in the article telling how false teeth decay.
In fact, dentist assures us that false teeth
do not decay. Too much mastication may
wear them out, a fellow may lose them
while bathing, or he may deposit them with
his uncle as security for a loan-but they
never decay.
