The Novelties Exhibition, which
closes to-day in Philadelphia, was
very successful in its undertaking.
Tho many and varied goods and
machinery on exhibit represented
the leading manufacturing interests
OF Philadelphia and elsewhere, and
the display was most pleasing to the
eye of the visitor. Next year the
managers of the affair propose erect
ing Il handsome and substantial
building, and the next meeting will
undoubtedly eclipse all former eff
forts.
TIE Newark Academy, under the
able direction of DR.. Raub, whose
scholarly attainments so well fits
him for the place, is gaining new
life, and indications already point to
goodly attendance of students. No
better place in the State can be
found for girls and boys, embracing
all the departments. We would
urge upon parents the necessity of
sending their children to an institu-
ton with so capable a tutor as Dir.

Philosophy About Smokers.

As the majority of the men are smok-
ers, we are sure that the following will
be of interest: \ gentleman who is u
great "fumigator" says that he has phil
osophized about smokers, with this re-
suit An cven-tempered, quiet man
never goes to an extreme in choosing his
cigar. A nervous man wants something
strong and furious; mild man some
thing that smokes and nothing more
There is great deal in the way men
handle their cigar. fla man smokes his
cigar only enough to keep it lighted, and
relishes taking it from his mouth to cast
look at the blue curl of smoke in the
air, set him down as an easy-going man.
He has keen perceptions and delicate
sensibilities. He will not create trouble,
but is apt to see it out when it is once
begun. Beware Of the man who never
releases the grip of his cigar, and if in
different whether it burns or not. He is
cool, calculating and eXactng. He is sell
dom energetic physically, but lives easily
off those who perform the labor. The
man that smokes Bit rests bit, and
fumbles the cigar more or less, is easily
affected by circumstances. If the cigar
goes out frequently, the man has a
whole-souled disposition, is a devil-may-
care sort of fellow, with lively brain
and glib tongue and generally a fine
fund of anecdotes. To hold half of the
cigar in the mouth and smoke indifIer-
emily is a lazy mans habit. They are
generally of little force and their carac-
tiers are not of the highest strata. ner-
vous man, who fumbles his cigar great
deal, is sort of popinjay among men.
Holding the cigar constantly between
the teeth, chewing it occasionally and
not caring if it is lighted at all, are char
acteristiCs of men who have the tenacity
of bulldogs. They never forget anything
or let 90 their holds. The fop stands his
cigar ON end, and an experienced smok-
err points it straight ahead or almost at
right angles with his course.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.-Preserve sacred
ly the privacies of your house, your mar
riage state, and your hearts. Let not
father or mother, sister or brother, or
any third person, ever presume to come
in between you two, or to share the joys
or sorrows that belong to you alone, to
you two. With Gods help build your
own quiet world, not allowing the dear
est earthly friend to be the confidant of
aught that concerns your domestic peace.
Let moments of alienation (if they occur)
be healed and forgotten at once. Never
no. never-speak of it outside; but to
each other confess and all will come out
right. Never let the the morrow's sun
find you still at variance. Renew or re-
view the vow ut all tcmptations-it will
do you both good. And thereby your
souls will grow together, cemented in
that love which is stronger than death,
and you will become truly one. Thus do
pray for every married pair-.l ~itc Of
fDriy yc1rS.

An impression seems to prevail
among our citizens to the the effect
that when there is the least chance
of it being a moonlight night, no
matter how young and tender the
queen may be, the street lamps re-
main unlighted, and pedestrians are
left to grope their way as best they
can. And the impression assumes
the shape of fact, because such is
the case. Where the fault lies we
cannot say, but surely it cannot be
that gasoline has advanced in price?
That fluid, of a lively, odorous ma
ture, must be wonderfully precious
to either our town commissioners or
lamplighter. If the latter's position
is too laborious, then an able assis-
tant should be appointed at once to
carry can and ladder. Whatever
be the cause, let us have the lamps
lighted every eyening-moonlight
or starlight.

THE trial of Ferdinand Ward, the
firm of Grant & Ward bankers (now
defunct) of New York city, caus-
ed considerable excitement. There
is fish in the muddle, and James
d. on the witness stand on Monday
read Wards title clear. 1t is pretty
hard to tell who is deepest in the
mire in the matter, but it is an as
sured fact that much crooked work
was done by somebody prior to the
breaking up of the firm. Fish
blames it all on Ward, and there
can be no doubt but that Ward
blames it on Fish. So it is, and the
outcome of the trial will no doubt
result in much talk from the coun-
sci on either side, and-and-then
the principals-thc squanderers Of
peoples money-will be set adrift.
