Mr.. HAMMOND AND THE SENAToRsHi

y letter published in the REGISTER of
last week suggested that Mr.. George
Hammond of this town was a fit man to
send to the Senate next fall. We have
been asked whether he was candidate /;
and, if so, what his opinions were on the
subjects most prominently before the
State.
Mr.. Hammond informs us that he is
not in the field and does not wish the Of
flee. While he is not insensible to the
kindness of those who have offered their
support, he feels that there are good rea-
sons why he ought not to allow the use
of his name. He does not, of course, as
sumo that he could have the place if he
desired it; but in order that there may
be no Misunderstanding, and that friends
of other candidates may not be hamper
ed. he authorizes this statement. 1t is
not great while before the convention
If it is called as early as usual-and
there should be time for full considera-
ton of the merits of those who may be
proposed as candidates. so that Mr..
Hammond's promptness in declining is
commendable.

Col. SMALLEY has been interviewed at
New York. He expresses satisfaction
with the situation, Notwithstanding the
failure of the Senate to confirm his nOmi-
nation. He believes President Cleveland
will be a candidate for reelection in lSSS
that "he alone can ensure victory" and
that before his term is out all the offices
will be filled by Democrats. He declares
that "the spoils system is now no more.
Ben Butler has invented new and more
euphonious way of describing it: The
offices should be in the hands of those
friendly to my party. We fear Mr..
Smalley feels better than his party. He
has fine office, and is we'll provided
with this worlds goods. But he ought
to remember that there are those who
have watched and waited in vain for
more than year and really begin to sus-
pect that 1.-THE spoils system is now no
more" His elation over the prospect
should not blind him to the present woes
of his brethren.

There are certain pc nderous facts which
are theoretically recognized but net often
fully Incorporated with ones conscious
ness and made to tell upon conduct. The
most sombre of these facts is death
With persons of due sensibility more
frequent consideration of the memorable
certainty of this event would help great
ly to influence behavior and give right
direction to life. The husband who oc
cssionally brought forcibly to his imagi-
nation the possibility of home no longer
tenanted by loving wife would be able
to repress fault finding for trivial affairs
and be moved to bestow love whilst it is
yet possible to do go. Children would,
urged by this thought, give caress to the
mother who had done so much for them
from infancy, and perhaps endeavor to re-
lieve the burden SO long borne by the
faithful and uncomplaining one. Brothers
and sisters under the spell OF this consid .
GRAFTON would be aflectionately minded
one to the other. Friends would attach
more weight TO the sterling value OF a
relation that akin to blood ties in Its
warmth of attachment. Death will hap
pen TO all. We rarely think 1t will strike
those we love. 1t is good for us at times
to face this appalling possibility, mediate
upon it and derive from such thought
full tolerance; kindness, gentleness and
forbearance. Indeed, for us all to live
Alright IL Is needful that we should consid-
er the fact of death, and it may be done
without fear and with positive benefit
If 1t leads us to be considerate OF others

A German Barber, Drunk and Jealous,
Covers Girl with vitrioi-Har Face
and Shoulders Scared by the Terripie
Corrosive.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 27.-sdsV Her.
bert, a chief barber at the Wekt End
Hotel, threw vitriol over Miss Minnie
Tucker last night. Herbert is middle
aged German, with wife and three
children. For months he has supported
the girl, who is q pretty brunette of not
more than 25 years, in apartments near
the Ocean Hotel. Herbert learned that
the woman was very intimate with the
gamblers In that vicinity, and last night,
after loading himself with whisky and a
bottle of the burning fluid, he started for
the Tucker woman's room to wreak his
vengeance.
He burst into the apartment and found
the girl clad only In light wrapper
After hurriedly accusing her of her mis-
conduct he removed the cork from the
bottle AID dashed the vitriol over her
The keen burning of the corrosive and
the excited demeanor of the German
aroused her to sense of her danger.
She grasped the villains arm and at
tempted to wrest the bottle from his
hand. In the struggle all the acid was
spilled over the girls breast. Her shrieks
of anguish aroused the neighborhood and
Herbert fed.
Scared AS BY A HOT IRON.
A physician found that Miss Tucker
was dangerously injured. Her breasts
and neck were scared as though ny hot
iron and her sufferings were truly awful.
She may recover If Inflammation does not
set in, but she is disfgured for life. Her
bert was arrested late in the evening and
lodged in a cell at police headquarters
When arraigned before Justice of tht
Peace Brinley he waived hearing, and
and after an argument between thu
opposing counsel in reference to tht
amound of bail necessary the Judge fixed
1t at $500.
As the penalty of Herbert's offense Il
ten years in State Prison, this amount i
30 small as to cause generally advers
comment. The prisoner promptly fur
nished bail.
Lawyer Troutman, who appeared TO
the penniless and unfortunate girl, aver
that before the prisoners arraignment
John V. Kolb, saloon keeper, offere'
Miss Tucker money to leave the Stat
and not appear against Herbert. sh
will probably enter complaint agains
Kolb for attempting to compound
felony. Herbert's trial will be before tn
Monmouth County Court In October.

1849 All three Of them
were Pennsylvaniaus, and as soon ~
they learned that It WAS also my native
State they hunted me mp, and would
have me make one of their party, al
though had purchased my ticket be
fore leaving San Francisco through to
the Calaveras big trees. Well, Just
had TO knock under and 90 with them,
and I am very glad that did SO, for 1t
proved very pleasant journey.
We started soon after breakfast and
went fishing for trout, but as the
streams were very low we did not do
much fishing, but we did see consider
able of the country, and had Q very
pleasant time. At half past four o'clock
in the afternoon We arrived at Sper-
ry's Rotel, which Is located at the Gala
veras big trees. 1t Is first class house
in every respect and the proprietor
Knows how to cater to the wants of his
guests. We went out and took q look
at the big trees before supper, and after
supper went out to see them again, and
stayed until 1t WAS 30 dark that We
could not see any more. Shortly after
We went to he'd and dreamed about
them, and the next day, which was
Sunday, paid them two more visits.
l believe that II remained here q
month should have to 90 out and see
them two or three times every day, for
fer don't believe that 1 should ever
get tired of looking at them. In 10Y
opinion they are the greatest wonder OF
the age, and although have seen great
sights since left home, consider these
trees the greatest of all. These mon
archs have doubtless outlived many
generations of men, and they still stand
in their solemn grandeur, beautiful and
sublime.
1 cannot give q description Of these
trees In this letter, but will try and dc
30 In Q few days. 1 have measured sew
eral of them with stringF, which / vii
bring home with me TO show to the peo
Iple of Wilmington. l also have som'
specimens of them which 1 intend Il
bring home. This letter may not prov
interesting 10 the readers OF the REPUB
LICAN, but what have seen and triet
to tell about has proved q continuou
stream Of pleasure to me, which shal
never forget. g. w. KING.

Buried In the Wrong Dress.

Says the St. Michael's (Md.) Comet:
A curious superstition among the colored
people was brought into prominent atten.
ton in Chestertown very recently. Jane
Reed, a colored woman, died, and by mis-
take she was buried in dress belonging
to Julia Chambers, another colored
woman. The colored people believe that
if dead body is buried in an article of
clothing belonging to living person, the
owner Of the article will decline as the
dead body decays. Julia Chambers firm
ly believed this calamity would happen
to her, and insisted upon having the
body exhumed and the dress taken off.
Consequently, at the witching hour OF
midnight, the grave was dug into, the
coffin opened and the dress cut off and
drawn out.

A Very Narrow Escape

Yesterdays 3 Chester News says: Off.
Ger Amos Williams last evening saved
10 mans life at the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore passenger depot
in this city. The man, whose name
could not be learned, was on the plat
form of the 8 48 south bound train, en-
route for Dover, when he lost his bal
ance and fell under the car as the train
moved along. The officer quickly seized
him and thus prevented the wheels
from passing over his body. The man
was under the influence OF liquor, and
was placed on later train for Dover.
