to the fact that the Lenten Season is upon
us.
The nineteen year old daughter of ex-
State Senator Crowell Marsh, of Mercer

Princeton.
-Lordyl And now comes the Morris
town Jerseyndn and describes the Hon.
Thomas Vincent Gator as s'the Jersey City
lobbyist"

Terrell has been confirmed by the United
States Senate as Collector lof Revenue in
the First District.
-E.O. Chamberlain says he really thought

The Atlantic Journal commends Gov

1t is positively stated, and so the TAT
TIER was particularly told, that should the
Tunnel bill pass the Senate, the building
of it will commence at once.
The bill providing for increased pay Of
the Police Departments of the cities
throughout the State will never be adopted
by the popular vote in Essex.
-ssCul' Barcalow and Miles Ross were in
earnest conversation in the cabin of a
Pennsylvania Railroad ferryboat on Tues
dsy. Wonder what's up now!
-Ex-Assemblyman Charles Hendrickson
of Monmouth. who is now Deputy Rove
nue. Collector at Keyport, is making an act
i've canvass against the wrong doors in that
region.
The visit of the Senators to the State
Prison on Wednesday evening on tour
of inspection will be very essential aid to
them in determining the weight Of the tes-
timony.
Madame Rumor has ex-Alderman J.
F. Connolly, of Newark, down as Corr
missioner Reynolds successor in the State
Board of Taxation, and as Riparian Com
missioner, too.
Mcdowell, who stands next to Pow
derley in the Order of the Knights of
Labor, was familiar figure around the
Legislative halls during the winter of 1884.
He halls from Newark.
The Salem Sunbeam makes the point
that Frank Fort can't resign with condi-
lion. A conditional resignation is no resig-
nation, and till there is resignation there
can be no vacancy to fill
If the several bills forbidding the
publication Of the laws in patent inside and
patent outside papers should become laws,
we know of several papers in New Jersey
that would be ruled out of the feast.
Mrs M. NJ. Marsh's story, as she would
liked to have told it, dwindled down to a
recital of hearsay remarks, which hasn't
added--or should not, if it hasa feathers
weight to the case against Keeper Layerty.
The Paterson GuQrdidn says it is re-
ported that Cul Barcalow and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company are 'sout," and
wants to know what is to become of the
New Jersey Legislature in case the rumor
proves true.
The City Attorney of Elizabeth, refer
ring to the Martin repeater of 6 467," ex-
presses the belief that to take the tempo
rary expedient away just now would be
equivalent to putting ton of dynamite
under Elizabeth.
According to the Camden Courier the
war in Ocean county between ex-senator
Empsom and the pretty little school mis-
tress. who cowhided him is still raging, and
Empsom is roaming around with hay on his
horns and blood in his eye.
Ex-senator Burr Miller wont take the
Cape May Postmsstership which was ten
dered him in place Of the United States
Marshalship. He says he would rather
makeit "warm" for the Administration than
take the $500 postmastership.
And now after the horse has been stoI-
en-, Assemblyman Seymour, hastens to close
the barn door, with an act forbidding the
Legislature to appoint any of its members
to places within its gift. The bill seems to
come in the day after the Fair.
The Clinton Democrat, edited by ex-
State Senator Carpenter, thinks that some
method of Furnishing the author of these
reckless and irresponsible charges Of
bribery and corruption against the State
Legislature should be devised.
-Chancery Clerk Allan Il. McDermott
has introduced bill in the Legislature,
leaving it optional with himself where the
Clerk shall live. Should the bill become a
law, it is the intention of Mr.. McDermott
to continue his residence in Jersey City.
-Sergeant-at-A Arms Colfax, notwith-
standing Speaker Armstrong; remarks to
the contrary, persists that the Speaker
tried to shift the responsibility for issuing
passes to certain parties and excluding
others off on to his (Colfaxs) shoulders.
The witnesses in the impeachment trial
were not subjected to the impertinent gaze
of Fred Fish while they were testifying last
week, thanks, possibly, TO the Trenton
note in last Sundays TATTLER. It has been
suggested, however, that heis quite mashed
on Minnie.
The law requiring the Clerk in Chan
Gerry to live in Trenton is of ante-dilnvian
origin. It was before the railroads, and
when Chancery fees were paid in onions
aud pumpkins, and the farmers didn't want
to cart their tithes any farther than was
necessary.
We are afraid that Mckenzie, of the
Siroar Sawfn0 Machina Gounanv will find
