A PRoruEsY THAT Has BEEN FuL

Senator German once sad to Mr.,
Tilden with reference to the election
of 1875: "rhe general verdict was
that our friends did not display
enough frmness on that occasion,
and WE lacked sufficient nerve to de-
mand our rights"
"That was perfectly NATURAL" re-
piled Mr.. Tildtn. "Yet ! do not re-
gret our conduct on that occasion,
for within eight years every reasona-
bic person will recognize that it vas
no, possible for eur party to take
any other course, as the country was

Mrs. G. L. Cook attempted to cross
the river at Milford, Conn, the other
evening in rowboat, taking her four
children with her. When they were
in the middle of the stream the baby,
nine months old, jumped from the
arms of the eldest child into the river.
Although Mrs. Cook could not swim,
she at once jumped after the little one,
caught it by its clothes, and screamed
for help. By the time help came the
mother was unconscious, the baby
nearly drowned, and the children in
the boat half crazy with fright.

Governor Albeit, last Winter sent
that the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad was evading its just
share of State taxation. Ever since
then the State Board of Assessors have
been trying to begin an investigation
into the roads methods of returning
its figures to the State. The Board
wants President Sloan to produce a
tabulated statement, but can't get him
to do it. Lately the Board demanded
the production of the statement on
September 1st. Ex-Governor Bedle, the
roads counsel, appeared before the
Board, and when asked for the state
ment, said that he was not aware that
it was wanted now. If the statement
is not produced by September "a, the
Board proposes to send for the COM
pany's books and papers, and go ahead
with the investigation without consult
ing it's officers.
The family Of Jacob Schlapfer, re-
siding on farm two miles from Flem-
ington, Hunterdon county, were pois-
oned in some mysterious manner by
paris green being put in the coffeepot
which was used for breakfast. The
Schlapfer family consists of ten people
and some hired men. All of them were
affected by the poison. Fortunately
one of the boys saw the stuff at the
bottom of the cup, and knowing the
nature of the poison, medical assist
ance was at once obtained, and fatal
consequences were prevented, although
Schlapfer and one of his sons were in
danger for some time Rumors were
rife as to who is the perpetrator of the
outrage, but it is thought that some
one who was acquainted with the
premises must have placed the poison
in the coffeepot. The case has been
placed in the hands of the police and
summary justice will be meted out to
the criminals when they are captured.
The most disasterous fire that has
occurred in Freehold since the confiag-
ration on the 9th of October, 1878, in
which the Court House and the block
extending to the First National Bank
were destroyde, visited the central
section of the town recently. Included
in the burned district were eight stores,
Taylor's large hatel, and several out
buildings, footing up an estimated loss
Of from $150,0O0 to $16O,000 The fire
originated in an oil vault, under the
pavement, attached to the large store
of D. Clark Perrine, on Main street,
below South. The alarm was first
given shortly after o'clock, and in ten
minutes time the entire front of the
store was mass of flames. The Free
hold Fire Department was Immediately
called into service. but it was soon ap-
parent that additional assistance would
be needed, and Chief Hulse telegraphed
to the surrounding cities for help
The heaviest loser by the fire is Mr.
Perrine, who has been actively engaged
in business there for upwards of fifty
years. Nearly all of the stock in the
large warerooms was destroyed. The
insurance men estimated his loss on
buildings and stock at about 100000,
while Mr.. Perrine places his loss on
stock at 100000 and on buildings at
$35, 900. He was insured for $51, 900 in
some twenty different companies.

The Measurement of EARTHQUAKES.

Speaking of the measurement of
earthquakes, how is the extent of the
vibrations determined?' asked a re-
porter.
''The vibrations are measured in a
very simple manner. If the extent of
the vibration is desired without any
great accuracy, tumbler is filled with
ink and placed on table. During the
earthquake the ink will be agitated to
and fro and stain the sides of the tum-
bier. The height of the stain will be
some gauge to the extent of the vibra-
ton. But the scientific way of meas-
uring earthquakes is by means of the
earthquake pencil. This is simply
pencil inverted on tripod. The PEN
Gil is arranged to oscillate with the
greatest freedom. During an earth
quake the pencil sways like apendulum
and leaves mark on piece of white
paper which stretches across. the bot
tom of the instrument. The friction, of
the pencil on the paper is accounted
for in the calculation. The length of
the line made by the pencil is an accu-
intensity of the vibration. These PEN
ellis could be, without much cost, dis
tribnted at the signal-stations, princ;-
pally in earthquake and volcanic
regions, .and observations of internal
disturbances of the earth taken at the
same time as the other weather obscr-
vations, and with little additional trou-

under his editorship When the war deprived
him of his fortune he still continued true to
his standard. His picturesque little home
near Augusta, furnished with what ancestral
goods he managed to save in the destruction
OF Charleston, has been the scene of his labors
for twenty years. Having experienced all the
phases OF prosperity and adversity his lingcr-
ing decline with consumption made HIM a
calm and fearless student Of the coming
change. The result is beautifully shown in
this poem, which, though written two years
ago, by strange coincidence was published
just before the writer was permitted to verify
its truth. We repeat it for those who may not
have seen it in Ha,per's Magazine.
