casion Sedgewick post, No. 166, of New
York city, and Winfield Scott post, No. 70,
of Plainfeld, paid fraternal visit to Maj
Werner post, No. 81, of Hoboken. After
the regular meeting of the post the visiting
comrades were escorted to the large hall of
Weder's hotel, where all sat down to
bountiful talle, loaded with good things in
the way of eatables. After the wants of
the inner man were fully satisfied, Com

There seems to have been an impromptu
oyer and terminer or general jail delivery
at the Jamesburg Reform School recently.
Sixteen of the boys let themselves out in
an informal sort of way and thus far have
failed to return to their studies. They are
evidently nonAelevers in reform, civil SER
vice or otherwise. Somehow the James
burg school is always in trouble. Awhile
ago it was known as the juvenile shirt fac
tory, and more recently the religionists
have been quarreling over the particular
sort of religion that shall be dealt out to
the young heather within the school walls.
To the secular mind it would seem a matter
of small moment what particular branch of
reform brought these boys into the straight
and narrow path and fitted them to become
decent members of society-if that change
can be effected. But not so the men bound
down to credal subseryiency. The boys
must go to Heaven through their gate or be
relegated to Tophet and a hopeless perdit-
ion. We don't understand that sort of re-
form but there appears to be good deal
of it in this wicked world of ours.

The plea of the Central Railroad, that
the Receiver could not be sued for damages
inflicted by the company because he was
an officer in the Court of Chancery has
come to grief in the Court of Errors and
Appeals. And good thing, too. If that
principle were once to obtain footing a
railroad would only have to keep itself in
the hands OF Receiver to be able to kill
people without the least responsibility.
"Contributory negligence" renders it almost
a safe business now, but once in while
they do get caught, for all that.

Parson Guirey, Of Paterson, is in trouble
again. A Mr.. and Mrs. Saunders have
made afidavits charging Mr.. Guirey with
having taken advantage of the lady's limo
cence and unsophistication while she was an
inmate of his fathers house before her mar
rage. The affidavit Of Mrs. Saunders may
be all right but we fail to see how Mr.
Saunders can be competent witness in
such case. But then Mr.. Guirey's friends
assert that the afidavits cost 5000 each and
perhaps the anti Guireyites had to take
both to get the one they wanted.

angry passion--she knew absolutely MOTH
inq about her husband, who was very
mysterious man. This also may be true,
but the woman says that she and her hus-
band left New York aud went to Trenton,
where be thought business might be better.
As illusions to going to Trenton are freq
uent in the statement, they cannot be set
down az misunderstanding on the part OF
the reporter, though possibly the name
may have been mistake of the woman's.
As amatter of fact she was taken BY her hus-
band to Newton, and she must have known
it was not Trenton, because she went to
that city to live after her husband was
sent TO State prison for her attempted
murder. But there is one deliberate per-
version of truth in the story. The woman
says that ssone night they had q quarrel
about money, and be took her into the
woods and beat her until he thought she
was dead. Now the sworn evidence at
the trial showed that Gray took the woman
from New York to Newton, and that i'm
mediately upon the arrival of the train, he
led her from the depot by back roads
through the town, where he was known,
out into the woods near the mines IN
Morris County, and there beat, and left
her for dead. The assault was preceded
by no dispute. The woman swore that
Gray cut the club deliberately, telling her
they were coming to place where there
were some dangerous dogs as an excuse.
He then directed her to walk in advance of
him that he might the better protect her,
and as soon as she had stepped in front Of
him, he felIed her with the stick. This, it
viii be seen, is vastly different from the
story she tells now, and it might not be q
bad idea for the Philadelphia police to hold
on to Mrs. Gray until her memory il
restored to its normal condition.

a young man named Murphy publishes
in another part of the TATTLER a notice
that he will ask the Legislature to give him
better name. His friends say that he
wants the change made because Murphy is
too Irish to please his refined American
taste. A Rose by another name, the poet
saws. would smell as sweet But then Mr..
Murphy is not a rose, and had better hold
on to the one he has as the one that be-
comes him most. It is as easy to achieve
renown under the name of Murphy as an
der any other he could select. Contingent
cies can be imagined in which his
name might even be valuable assistance to
him-for instance if he should run for
Office in the Horseshoe, or if he should
enter New York City politics while it can
never be serious drawback to him. The
Irishman who discards his name because it
Is Irish has no right to be an Irishman
Then, besides, there is law against dis
guises. It may not reach aa Hishman who
masquerades under an assumed American
name, but the deception he practices on
the community partakes of the nature Of
false pretences. If the name Of Murphywere
disreputable or unpronounceable, or the
wearing of it cut its owner out of his por-
ton of patrimony,it would be all right to
seek change; but the mere fact that some
one might suspect that an Hishman is an

A CHRISTMAS STORY.

,"Tbis is the sort of Christmas / like"
said Fred to his sister, as she held the
hall door open, while he, attired in
brown velvetccn with corduroy leggins
to match, wheeled his machine down
the steps She smiled, thinking of his
boyish days, when Christmas without
snow cast a gloom over his merry little
heart. She said nothing but a CHEEKY
'good-bye,' however, rs he went
through the gate, and watched him with
proud eyes leap into the saddle and roll
gracefully down the avenue. The pure,
crisp air blew the brown ringlets in
waves across her forehead, las she stopped
and broke from a holly-bush bunch of
the shining, scarlet berries.
Fred felt ineXpressibly happy as he
started on that brisk morning ride; he
had the feeling of independence that
belonged to him as a university sopho-
more; he bestrode a glttering new ma
chine of which he was not a little proud;
and more than all, he was going to call
on a young lady whose laughing eyes
and rosy lips had haunted him through
three long months of term work. Per-
haps Miss Ethel would be out; the
thought made him quicken his pace,
I'm that case, thought Master Fred, II

street, smooth and hard, and lined on
either side by great elms. On one Of
these Fred heard tremendous racket,
and soon discovered a colony Of rocks,
cawing and chattering in the bare
branches. As he rode under them, the
flock rose with a whirT; Frod turned his
head to watch them; at that instant his
wheel struck something cry solid aud

There is saying that We spend halt

is always to be prepared for such cmer-
gcncies, and We know Of no safer plan

CHRISTMAS IN oLDEN TINE,
BY SIR WALTER SCOTT.

Heap on more wood!-the wind is chill;
But let it whistle us it Will,
Wen keep our Christmas merry still.
Each age has deemed the newborn year
| he fltteSt time for festal cheer;
Even. heather yet. the savage Dane
At Iol more deep the mead did drain;
High on the beach his galleys drew,
And feaStcd all lis pirate crew;
Then in his low and pne-bult hail,
Where shields and axes decRcd the wall,
They gorgcd upon thc half-drPsscd steer;
Carnuscd in seas Of sable beer;
While round in brutal jest, were thrown
The half-gnawcd rib and marrow-bonc
or listened all, in grim delight,
While scalds yelled ont the joys Of fight.
Then forth in frcn2y would they hic,
While wildly loose their red locks ny,
And dancing round the blazing pile
They make such barbarOus mrth the while
As best might to the mind recall
The boistcrous joys of Odn's hall.
And we'll cur Christian Sircs of old

| And brought blithe Christmas back again.

| ON Christmas eve the bells were rung;
ON Christmas eve the mass was sung;
That only night in all the year,
/ Saw the StOled priest the chaiicc rear.
| The damscl donncd her k!rtle sheen;
| The hall was dressed with holly green;
! Forth to the wood did mcrry-men go,
! To gather in the mlstletOc.
| Then opened wide the haron's hail
! To yassal, tenant, scrf and All;
| Power laid his rod Of rule aside, t
And Ceremony dOilcd his pride;
! The heir, with roses in his Shoes
That night might viii lge partner choose;
The lord, undcrogatng, shire

All hailed with uncontrolled delight

\ man about town, whose principal
business is to put in as much time as
possible doing nothing, stood on the
southwest conner of Fifteenth and
Douglas streets Thursday afternoon ap-
parcntly intent on scanning the fac!R
expressions of every woman who en-
tered or came out of Falconcr's drygood,
establishment. He was too much of d
gentleman to stare at women from yu!
gar curiosity,and his occupation excited
the surprise of a reporter
"What are you trying to make there"'
asked the peripatetic pcncil-pushcr.
Nothing in particular"
"But you glare at every woman who
goes in or out of this store as though yCu
were detective looking for shopllttng
kleptomanlacs. Now l want to know
what you're looking at?"
"Wcll, if you must know, Tn watch
ing the women's mouths"
"Can'tyou see women 'smouths enough
on the street without standing there
glaring like stone statue?"
Yes, but I've just made a dlscoy.
cry"
"Elucidate."
"Stand here few minutes. I'll bet
you the cigars nine women out Of the
first ten who enter or come out of the
store here will have their mouths open Sc
wide that their tongues can be seen"
The wager was accepted, and the re,
porter took position of watchfulncss by
the side of the man-about-town.
The first woman to enter the store wa.
one of fashionable attire, who tripped
lightly from carriage at the curb to the
door, She stopped 4 second to gaze N
the window, dropped her lower jaw halt
an inch and displayed set of teeth that
might have cost $40.
"Han' said the man-about-town, what
did tell you?"
Mere accident said the reporter.
just then two lj-year-old beauties,
giggling all over with girlishness, ,tripped
around the corner and into the store.
One was chewing gum, and the other
was talking faster than the best time
Maud S ever made. Tho tongues CT
both were visible.
"Ah, there two there!' said the man
about-town, The reporter said nothing.
Presently an old woman, SUPPORTED by
a pretty creature, probably her grand,
daughter, entered the store: then three
women came out together. Old woman
and all had their mouths aiar from one
to three inches each. The list was now
swelled to eight, with only two to so on
for the reporter, lie was hanging on the
thread Of hope that these two might save
him, when pair of matronly danes OF
more than certain age dsmountcd from
a Sixteenth street car, stepped leisurely
up to the shop windows, pcercd in at
least 30 seconds with their lips hermeti-
cally sealed, and then each gave an imi,
tation of tly-trap with her mouth and
they disappeared inside.
Great discovery" said the man,

Virtue in the Family.

There are all forts and degrees of vir.
tue, and sometimes we are told that
virtue is its own reward. Mr.. A. f.
Evans, of Burrs Ferry, La, says in
writing about Browns Iron Bitters, 81
have been the recipient of its virtue in
my family to considerable extent.
This great iron tonic has superior ad.
vantages as a reliable family medicine.
Its power has been thoroughly tried, and
its virtues abundantly proved. Nearly
a million bottles q year are sold by the
druggists of this country.

We should have better preachers if
the preachers were all sound and healthy
men. Calvin may have had the dys-
pepsia, but it did him no good as a
theologian. a Methodist minister, Of
Hartford, Conn, writes that DR. Ken
nedys "Favorite Remedy" cured him
of chronic liver disease and indigestion.
His brethcren of all denominations are
respectfully invited to note the fact.
Sick preachers are in poor condition to
proclaim the gospel news. Sound bodies
are wanted.
