WHITE OAKS LINCOLN COUNTY N NJ SATURDAY
DEATH OF GEN. ATKINSON

l
Language fails TO express our
grief on the intelligence that Gen.
Henry NJ. Atkinson is dead, and
the conviction forces itself upon
our senses that We shall never
more meet him ON earth.
Years since we knew Henry in
Nebraska. before he evolved as a
public man. His wife then, was
the daughter of the then Senator
Upton Of Nebraska. We attended
her funeral, and had the mourn
tul pleasure of condUling with him.
Subsequently he became, under
President Grant, Commissioners OF
Pensions, and on resigning, was
by Grant appointed Surveyor Gen
eral of this Territory in 1871,
which office he filled until some
two years ago, when he vacated 1t
without dishonor.
AS indicated, we knew the de-
ceased well, and we never knew a
noblsr man. We think it WAS Dry

the mixture is Il bad one, and as i'll

Some Old New York Families.

The genealogical record Of some OF
the first families is threatened by an
exposure which may make some vince
but no true American will be ashamed
of a humble origin. In fact, there is
but little room for bOasting among the
New York millionaires. Peter Gilsey
began as a journeyman pianoforte
maker, and the founder of Cooper In.
stitute first appears in the directory as
Peter Cooper, machinist." The Bre-
voorts were market gardeners. Alder
man Carman, who left round million,
was a house carpenter. A. 7. Stewart
began by teaching small school. The
millionaire Vermilyes were the sons of
asexton of a downtown church. Cyrus
w. Field first opened trade as dealer
in rags. Lawyer Hummel began as an
errand boy in the same Office in which
he is now partner. William Libby,
formerly of A. 7. Stewart & Co., and
now a retired millionaire, was the son
Of Newburg carpenter. The first
Astor that came to America was a
butcher and had a stall in Fly market
Rufus Story. who is now the millionaire
veteran of Front street, began here as
hard worked boy in cheap grocery.
Jay Gould was in early life a clerk In
a country store. and felt that he was
doing remarkably well when he peddled
maps in Delaware County,

1t seems odd to speak of a dead city
as growing one. But that is exactly
the case with Pompeii. There are many
cities in Italy that do not grow half as
fast as the one buried by the ashes q
Vesuvius 1900 years ago. A person
visiting it at intervals of year notices
marked enlargement of its boundaries.
The Italians, you know, are the cham
pion diggers. They make the shovel
fly when they attack the grave of
Pompeii. We saw gang of them at
work there. A government overseer
watches them like hawk. He wanted
to be sure that they pocketed no jewelry,
coins or objects of art or utility yielded
by the excavations. The only produce
Of their toll in that line as we stood by
was bit Of iron, which the guide
called hinge, and the fragment of a
small marble column. The spades
busily piled were gradually bringing to
light a beautiful house. The floors
were mosaic, with simple but graceful
designs in scroll pattern-nearly as
fresh of color as if laid yesterday. The
walls bore frescoes of fainter tints-
grinning masks, fawns, cupids, birds,
fish and fruit. 1t had evidently been
the home of well-to-dO-citizen of
Pompeii. The nervous movements of
the workmen betrayed their anxiety.
They were hoping at every movement
to make a valuable "find." Perhaps
they might hit upon great iron chest,
studded with round knobs like boiler,
and full of gold, money or ornaments,
or they might strike another wonder in
marble or bronze, or they might be
startled by coming suddenly upon a
skull or other human remains. In the
latter event the work is suspended till
a careful inspection is made. The re-
sponsible and intelligent person in
charge proceeds to ascertain If the dead
Pompedian had left a mould of him
self in the plastic ashes. If so he pre-
pares a mixture of plaster of Paris,
breaks hole in the crust. and slowly
pours in the liquid till the mould is full.
When it has hardened the casting is
tenderly removed. Lo! there is q
rough image, showing some poor
creature in the agonies of death, prone
on the floor, face downward. Thus,
most unusually, were the inhabitants
of the doomed city caught by the de-
stroying angel. The skull, or leg, OF
arm, or whatever. other part of the
skeleton has not yet relapsed into its
original dust, may attach itself to the
plaster cast in the proper place, or ma!
require to be Joined on by pardonabl,

UnluckY May Marriages.

The prejudice against May marriages
descends to us from Roman times,
when every month was under the tute-
lage Of some god or goddess. May
being dedicated to the spinster Minerva,
it was unlucky to be married in her
month, and the influence Of Rome
sufliced to make this for centuries a
period during which marriages were
unusual. The prejudice has been pre-
vented from dying out by the curious
fact that some OF the most unfortunate
marriages in history have taken place
In May-as, for instance, those of Lady
Jane Grey, Mary Queen of Scots, Marie
Gntoinette and Queen Caroline.

Pawnbroking in Mexico.

"The government keeps the great
pawnbroking shop in Mexico City,"

you want to pawn your watch; you

good grounds for believing that the story
published by the Journal was given for
purposes of revenge.
Mr.. Cannon is to be married shortly to a
Chicago lady and the match is entirely
satisfactory to every member of the family
1t is said that there is certain widow lady
who resides in this city who has daug6-
ter and that both have besn on the terms
of the closest intimacy with the Cannon
family. The widow it is said has long
been setting her cap for Widower Cannon
and when she heard of his engagement to
the Chicago lady she was very much dis
posed not to believe it, and when Mr.. Gan
non told her up and up that it was SO, she
is said to have had the audacity to say /:
"Well Tom thought we had both been
long looking forward to the time when, our
daughters having all stepped off the car
pet, you and would be hitched.
This made the Misses Cannon as we'll as
their father somewhat indignant and they
have not been on the same terms with the
widow since.
The widow is said to have declared
that she would yet get even with
Tom" for having thus given her the nit
ten, and it was to her daughter alone that
Miss Mamie Cannon made the remark that
she had s'raised check on papa" and
that on the morning following this scene
described, when she was smarting uader
her fathers neglect, and as this same
widows daughter is the only one of the
Misses Gannon's friends who knew where
the addressed invitations were slowed in
the house. it is suspected that it was
through them that the story got noised
abroad
This same lady, it has been reported, is
given TO making trouble. She is said to
have at one time, not long since, set her
eye on handsome young druggist of this
city rs husband for her daughter. The
druggist was paying attentions at the
time to another young lady of whom he
thought very much. Mad because he would
not wed her daughter, this cratic old lady
is said to have hunted up the record of the
young lady to whom the druggist was pay
ing his attentions, and one fine morning,
after the wedding day had been set,
walked into his store and throwing q
bundle of papers ca the show case in front
of him exclaimed.
"Fhere! if you can marry that woman
after examining those papers you can have
her and Welcome"
The druggist did examine the papers
and never visited his lady love again. They
purported to be papers evidencing that the
lady was divorced from her husband, and
the druggist believed them to be genuine
He had supposed the lady never to have
been married.

Why Grace Church stands in Danger OF
Losing Her Rector.
The Rev. Henry w. Spaulding has ten
dered his resignation as rector of Grace
Church. The parish is quite large one,
and the work almost too much for one
man to do. The congregation moves in
and out, and there is not money enough
at command to allow the doctor to procure
an assistant and do all that he proposes, or
would like to do. He said that the vestry
have not held meeting since he sent in
his resignation, SO it had act been acted
upon yet. He said that he had number
of warm personal friends in the parish,
and he does not think his resignation will
be accepted. II said that he has recently
received call from Jamesburg, Wiscoa-
sin, his first parish where he resided abont
fifteen years. He assured the reporter
that the feeling between him and his par
ishioners is of the most friendly and anal
cable kind

one of the towers, anl Ginning bells are to

| st. Bridget's Parish is about 20 years
old. 1t was formed IN 1866, by Rev.
Father Corrigan, as an offshoot of st. Pc
ter's parish. The ground for the old
| church was broken on October %, 1869,
and the corner stone was laid by Very
Rev. M. A. Corrigan less than a month
later. The sermon at the corner stone lay
| ing was delivered by Rev. Father Byrne of
| Camden. The first Mass, read on Christ
mas day of 1859, was attended by about

the church was dedicated by the Very
Rev. NJ. A. Corrigan, the sermon on that
occasion being delivered by Rev. P. Cody,
