Electrical experiments on the heads
of guillotined murderers have been
the fashion of late in France. Sensa-
tional accounts of the results have
sometimes beenpublished, and at Caen
doctor professed to have produced
movements of the tongue by electric
action on a nerve. Paul Bert, who
has been held up to odium by English
anti-vivisectionists, denounces these
practices. The distinguished physiolo-
gist and Deputy holds that such exper-
iments have no scientific interest, and
that they ought to be prohibited. If
they succeed in making the murderer
live again for an instant, which, how
ever, he regards as impossible, the law
of 1871, which forbids the torturing of
criminals, would be violated in its
spirit if not in it's letter.

A Knoxville dispatch says: Several
gentlemen who have returned from a
fishing excursion to Black Mountain,
North Carolina, report phenomena
resembling the Bald Mountain disturb
ances of few years ago. The party
were camped on bluff near Lenoir, a
small town forty miles from Asheville,
and one day while preparing dinner,
the bluff quaked several times. the
quaking being accompanied by low,
rumbling noise resembling thunder.
The shocks were sufficiently severe to
dislodge boulders of enormous size,
which thundered down the mountain
side, adding to the confusion and con-
sternation of the gentlemen. Watauga
river rapid-fowing mountain stream
at the foot of the bluff, was noticed to
roll up great billows, like the sea in a
heavy wind. Several hours after the
shocks were repeated, but were not so
heavy. The shocks were felt through
out a wide section of country with
more or less severity Natives were
terribly excited, and not a few believed
that the end of the world had come.
One family occupying large loghouse
moved their furniture and refused to
live under shelter. The fishing party
were camped within twenty-five miles
of the famous Bald Mountain.

GRANTS FACE FLOWERS.

About hundred feet from the Drex-
ell fountain in South Park stands
large canvas tent. The front of it
opens to the driveway, and every vehi-
Gle that passes stops and the occupants
devote considerable time to gazing into
the tent. The attraction is a large
picture of Gen. Grant, made of foliage
plants. So good is the likeness that
no one who had ever seen the man or
his picture would fail to recognize it
instantly. The picture is about five
by six feet, and stands upon an easel
of draped timbers decorated with palm
branches, which produce the effect of
plumes. The frame is made of heavy
planking and the plants are growing
and thriving on the two inches of soil
contained in the back of the frame
The background of the picture is COM
posed of sedum acre, sometimes called
''stone crop" which produces the eff
feet of solid neutral tint, and looks
at close range like moss. The face is
composed of small rosette.looking
plants with solid wax like leaves, it's
botanical name is echervia secunda
glanca. The eyes are composed of
semper vivum. The eye balls are small
cacti The necktie is echeveria rosea,
and the vest echeveria compacia. The
coat lapels are echeveria lanceolata.
The several varieties of the echeyeria
differ in shade, size and effect There
are about 1000 plants in the picture
The whole is nearly on level, except
that the forehead and nose are slightly
raised. The plants in those parts Of
the face where the effect of shading is
necessary, are artificially darkened
The collar, necktie, coat, and all the
details of the bust, however, are clear
ly and nicely shown by the natural diff
ference in the shading of the plants.
The effect at twenty-five feet is surpris-
ingly good and is that of well-exe-
cuted mosaic. The picture cannot be
permanent institution, from the fact
that the plants are continually grow
ing.-ChicoJo 10 Tribune.

THE GRANT memoirs. Charles
L. Webster & Co., publishers of the
Personal Memoirs" of General Grant,
have issued a card in consequence of
false and inaccurate statements about
that work. They say: ''The first vol
ume is in type. The manuscript of the
second volume is all written and COM
pleted as originally intended, and will
in due course be published as prepared
by General Grant himself. 1t comes
down to the close of the civil war. BY
the terms of our contract Mrs. Grant
will receive nearly three-fourths of the
profits arising from the sale of the book,
and upon some sales even more. So
far the book has had an unprecedented
success, and unless its sale isinjured by
misrepresentation it will accomplish
what the General earnestly hoped
and expected. The first volume of the
Memoirs will be published about Dec.
1st. The second volume about the 1st
of March next or as soon thereafter as
is possible. Numerous cheap imita-
tions of the book are now hawked
about the country. General Grant was
greatly troubled in the last days of his
life that attempts should be made by
others to reap the benefits of labor
done by him under circumstances of
almost unprecedented suffering"

Probably the most unpretentious
tourists hotel in existence is that at
the bottom of the Grand Canon of the
Colorado, accessible by stage from
Peach Spring Station, ON the Atlantic
and Pacific Railway. 1t consists of a
board shanty, of a single room below,
with kitchen attached, and two bed
rooms under the roof above. The stage
driver is road owner, guide, landlord,
and cook, all in one, but makes his
guests comfortable. The distance from
the station is only few miles, but the
descent is A, 900 feet.

BRIDGET0N, N. j., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 8, 1885,

Atlantic county oystermen say the
indications promise a large crop of
oysters. They are making extensive
preparations for the opening of the
season next month in Philadelphia.
The woolen mills at Raritan, Somer-
set county, it is said, have sufficient
orders to keep them running to their
full capacity for three months, and
that the employees are now making
extra time.
James M. Brown, of Princeton, hap
pened to put an egg into comb case
some time ago. He afterward forgot
all about it. The comb-case hung
against a window pane on the south
side of the house, where it got the
August sun all the afternoon. Recently
he heard the peeping of a chicken, and
now he has fine young motherless
rooster
| AT Pennsgrove, watermelons are now
being shipped at 80 per hundred for
prime, and So so and $3.50 for the
smaller fruit. The indications are that
the late crop will be very large. The
sweet potato crop is a large one, and in
good condition. Growers are harvest
ing them now and report from three
to four baskets are yielded to the hun
dred hills. The prices range from 60
cents to 81 per basket.
While a Salem county farmer was
passing through Gibbstown, few DAYS
ago, with a load of hay, a small boy lit
a match on the wagon wheel and set
fire to the hay, all of which was burned.
The wagon was badly damaged, and
the horses narrowly escaped. The
fence was set on fire and the flames
spread rapidly, so that there was dan
ger of the village being destroyed, but
the fire was extinguished.
Gretchen Margaret, aged 10 years,
and Ella, aged 16, daughter of G. T.
Holtz, millionaire wine merchant of
Hoboken, New Jersey, were poisoned
on Sunday night from the effects of
morphene givenin prescriptionin in mis-
take for quinine. Gretchen died Mon
day morning, and at last accounts Ella
was in a critical condition. The pre-
scription was filled at the drug store of
G. Amende. The druggist swallowed
atropia Monday evening and was not
expected to live.
A Warren county paper says the
onion crop on the Great Meadows was
somewhat injured by the recent heavy
rains, which caused the water to stand
in little ponds until the onions in spots
were nearly killed. But the damage is
not near SO extensive as at first appre-
hended. The dry and growing wealth
er OF the past two weeks has caused
the onions to pick up and look nearly
as green and promising as ever. The
onion growers of the Great Meadows
are going to have large and fine crops

James H. Baird, of Marlboro, Mon
mouth County, owns COW whose
record as a breeder is so marvellous
that it is almost incredible She is the
result of a cross between the jersey
and Ayrshire breeds, and is now seven
years old. At her first calving she pro-
duced three calves, at her second calv-
ing three calves, at her third calving
three calves, at her fourth two, and at
her fifth four calves; in all, fifteen per
fectly-formed calves in five years, at
five calvings. And each year she was
bred to bull different from the one

CONSOLIDATED TANK LINE

Colonel Weitzell, general manager of the
Consolidated Tank Line company's works
in this city, was found busy in his Office
yesterdsr.
In reply to question, the colonel said:
I've are doing as much business as we ex-
pected. In fact, it is no experiment with
US, we knew what we could do before we
built our works here. You see we can get
freights here from the east about as low as
we can at Kansas City; therefore. we save
the local rates from Kansas City here, and
at the same ratio 10 points farther west. At
present we have tired to do very little over
the Fort Scott road, because we have 10
"Y'' into their tracks and the cost of trans
ferring is considerable although we have our
own teams. Yes, / feel that this viii be-
come very important station and we have
everything so arranged that We can enlarge
our our capacity according as trade expands.
No one. with half an eye, can fail to see
that this will be trade center OF no mean
proportions"
The colonel is very affable gentleman,
entertaining broad business views.

the track beside the warehouse, and a tank
car was being switched in when the repre-
sentative OF the EAGLE made his visit.

ANSWER 1T Or COURSE.

The attention of Post, the pawnbroker,
who stood at his door the other day writing
on a card. As soon as she got through she
stepped up in front of Neiderlander's real
estate office and dropped the card, which
she evidently intended for one of Nieder-
lander's bachelors, but which one is difficult
70 tell.
Post being little curious TO know the
contents of the missive, stepped forward af
ter the blooming beauty had passed on and
picked up the card, which read as follows:
Witchataw Nov the three. You look so
purity wud like to get equainted with you,
through no harrum. You must not think
am Bold for sending you such letter. An
ser this card if you pleas.
Not one of the Niederlander outfit would
have it, SO Mr.. Post turned it over
to an innocent EAGLE scribe and the
comely dsmsel who wrote it can have it by
paying for this notice, and there is just
barely chance that she might make ia
vorable break on his heart, provided she
thinks him "purty" enough.
Mr.. Post describes her as being about six
feet two in her socks, with angular complex
ion and feet as broad as Goldfish. She
wore all the bright colored toggery she
could crowd on without spelling. Her
hands, which were tiny things, closely re-
sembling hapjacks, were encased in pair of
yarn mittens, and every finger resembled a
sweet potato. The mittens were msrvel.
They were striped red and white, the stripes
running lengthwise, while upon the back the
picture of mule was worked in coarse, red
yarn.
II the picture is true to life, she is just the
sort of 0 hairpin this scribe and Pharisee
has been hanging back for, and if none of
the Neiderlander outfit answers that card, he
will.

Our city has now reached the point when
. wholesale butchering establishment be-
comes almost . necessity, and representa-
tive Of the EAGLE has reliable information
to the effect that one will soon be establish
ed near the city.
Slaughter houses are declared nuisance
within the city, and each one of our butch
ers cannot afford 10 have slaughter house
outside the prescribed limits, therefore what
are now called butcher shops will be trans
formed into meat markets which will be
supplied every morning by the wholesale
butcher.
An old stock dealer and butcher Of St.
Louis, is perfecting arrangements to 60 into
that business. He proposes to build fine
slaughter house outside the bounds arrsng-
ed by the city ordinance and to have large
stock yard in connection. He will do his
killing in the afternoon and haul the beef
into the city in quarters early in the morn
ing,and each meat dealer can take just what
he wants and hang it up in his cooler. This
is the way it is done in most cities and is
convenient for all who engage in the bus

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Winter may threaten and the season shut
down, but there is no LET up when it comes
to the building operations in Wichita. Es-
pecially is this true with reference to resi-
dent properties. In every quarter of the
city contractors and builders are going on
putting in foundations, putting up walls and
stalking out plans as though there were
months of fiue weather ahead. Some of the
residences going up now would have been
reckoned palaces few years ago. This
summer has done more to give character to
the town and develop the tastes Of the peo-
pie than all the years of the past. But an
other year promises to tell more.

POLICE COURT.

James N. Adair, q bad plain drunk, edi-
fed the police court with his turkey-red
countenance yesterday. In fact he seemed
to have used all his wealth in coloring his
countensnce, for he was unable to pay fine
Of So and costs assessed against him, and BY
default of which, he went TO the cooler.
Edwin Booth did not assume a tragic air
as he limped into court yesterday morning.
When he was told it was plain drunk. he
smiled all over his conference.-the idea OF
Edwin Booth being plain drunk, when he
had painted the town red and blowed in all
his money for beer and "sich." He failed
to even anty chip when called on for So
and costs, and went to the cooler in conse.
quence.
Terry Evans was charged with having too
much whiskey aboard, and was fined So and
costs, he antied the entire amount and de-
parted, with "thanks, yer honor"
VIM. King, disturbing the peace, was
fined SO and costs and committed in default
Of payment.
Varney and Jennings for dealing q game
commonly called horse poker, were each
fin, $50 and costs. The evidence did not
show the limits or the price of chips; didn't
show whether three of kind beat q flush or
a pair of jacks and six shooter beat four
aces. The interrogations on these points
were not satisfactorily answered but the fines
were sntied up all the same and the parties
retired from court
John Jones was also in court charged
with gaming and when the court put in
straight bluff of SIS and costs John Jones
was compelled to look at the hand on q
forced call
NJ. r. Clark on complaint of Mary KILL
an, was charged with disturbing the peace
and quiet of her. The case was continued
to Thursday.
