tbs spring and had her. Her portrait was

her.
While Judge Hoffman was cross
examining Minnie Schaefer on Tuesday
last, Manager Parker turned to Lawyer
Gray, and said, in his most affected tone of
voice, 81 think he's going beyond the lin
its Of roiiteness with the witness" Who
ever heard of oyerstepping the bounds Of
thief all her life?
The Morristown Jerseyman is puzzled
TO know how Governor Albeit nominates
Daniel II. Leek as Lunatic Asylum Com-
missioner, in place of A. W. Cutler, re-
signed. It had the idea that the appoint
ment Of the Lunatic Asylum Commission
ers was in Joint Meeting. It begins to
think Governor Albeit has found an hith-
erto unseen loophole.
The Monmouth Democrat says, that
ssby the gratutious insult offered to Mr..
ThrockmortoR the Republicans IN the Leg
isiature have succeeded in getting a solid
Republican Board of Managers, and now
they propose to go before Republican
Senate, upon the testimony of thieves, har.
let's and murderers, to convict Democra-
tic public official of high crimes and INSIDE
meRnorE."
The Atlantic Journal is the authority for
the statement that sthe Republicans are
working the Laverty racket for all there is
in it. The latest move is the registering of
q certificate of the birth of Minnie Schae-
fer's child in the Office of the Register of
Vital Statistics at Trenton. The name of
the father is put down as Patrick Laverty,
age so, occupation prison keeper"
The Bayonne Times is very previous
when it asserts that 1.-THE news from Tren-
ton indicates the impeachment of State
Prison Keeper Laverty almost beyond ques-
ton" The news from Trenton doesn't
indicate any such thing. But then the
Bayonne Times doesn't know much about
Trenton news. Such statements as the
above are absurd prejudgments Of the case.
The Camden Courier finds fresh proof
of the truth of the Mcpherson interview,
which the TArrLHR gave to the public last
winter, in an inspired letter published in Nj
McPherson's Newark Journal recently. The
letter predicts the denomination of most Of
the present Assemblymen, and the almost
unanimous reelection of Senator Sewell
A part of the job is to send Senator Mich
OILS to Congress, on the expiration OF Hires'i
term.
Gator proposes to indulge this commu-
nifty with his vapor bath at the Tabernacle
next Thursday evening. He has succeeded
in inducing four citizens to ask him X
repeat his lecture on the corruptions OF the
Legislature. One of the four is Brother
Dear, of the Evening Journal. The .Joarna
is safe on almost all public questions
Pangborn usually stands on one side of tn
fence, Dear on the other; and SO the Jour
nal is bound to come down on its feet ever,
time.
The story that went the rounds in thu
city, the other evening, that Keeper Law
erty had shot himself originated in Tren
ton. One of the women in the prison mad
noisy demands on the morning of that da,
| for priest to whom she might confess
One was called, and his visit to the prison
led to the rumor OF the Keepers suicide
| What she wanted to confess was that sh
had seen Minnie Schaefer and one of tn
male convicts on terms of intimacy.
While Tom Noonan was engaged in hi
very loquacious explanation of his anti
railroad insurance BILL last Monday night
somebody put boquet of flowers on hi
desk, taken from Terry McDonald's desk
81 don't want any flowers" he petulantl,
exclaimed "I'm q Democrat p TER
afterwards rose in a state of injured prid
and politely informed the House that, al

some boquet of flowers on his des1 he wa
no less Democrat, and of course every
body believed him.
