DISCUSSING A SCHOOL BOOK.

There is likely to be lively fight in
the Newark School Board over the pro-
posed adoption of Barnes History of
the United States as text book. Sew
eral of the Grand Army posts have pro-
tested against the book on account of
its alleged non-Union sentiments, and
its adoption will probably be voted
down in the School Commissioners
meeting. The general impression in
Newark is that the book was written
by Northern man who tried so hard
to be impartial that he LEANED over a
little toward the Southn A peculiar
feature about the opposition to the
book is said to be shown in the National
Guard in Brooklyn, where member
of the firm of A. S. Barnes & Co., is a
Colonel of one of the regiments, and
the men are talking about his connec-
tion with the book. When the allega-
ton of q rebel bias was made against
the history, Mr.. Donnelly, of the pub
fishing firm, submitted the work to a
number of literary authorities, but
failed to get sufficient approval of the
book to satisfy the objectors. A prom
inent Newark educator said:
MY objection to the book is that its
general tone is favorable to the South
| don't think that the Rebellion should
be made to appear in a heroic light,
and | do not like to see traitors fgur-
ing as brave and devoted men, | read
the book, and concluded that if it was
true picture of the war, the South
| ought to have won, for the enormous
material advantages of the North and
the generalship and courage of the
South seemed to be the only opposing
elements in the struggle, and the ques-
ton of right was not touched upon. I
don't think that any Union soldier
would desire to have his children taught
that nothing but brute force and weight
of metal won the contest for the
North
A literary man, who was formerly a
Colonel in the Confederate army said
last week:
II have read Barnes History and
have a sort of suspicion one of the
objects Of the publishers is to intro
i-duce ii into the Southern schools,
where, as a matter of course, a book
would not be approved if it did not
give the Southern side plenty of
credit"

A woman applied at the dentists

A woman applied at the dentists
Office of DR.. Charles H. Moseley, at No.
1879 Grand ST., Brooklyn, Monday to
have tooth extracted She desired
an anesthetic and bromide of ether
was given by DR.. Francis Eschanzier,
the assistant dentist. After the tooth
was out she appeared to recover from
the effects of the Gather, and sat up.
But she soon lost her strength and
consciousness and fell back in the
chair. Drs. Hawkins and Metcalf were
summoned and artificial breathing was
resorted to and hypodermic injections
of stimulants were vainly tried, but
after two hours she was pronounced
dead. Coroner Hesse was informed
and DR.. Eschanzier was placed under
arrest. He said he had given her the
drug as he had given to many other
patients. The woman was Roman
Catholic. In her pocketbook was a
card of Mrs. Mullen, dressmaker, of
No. 142 West Seventeenth ST., and a
receipted bill for furniture, bought of
s. Herr, of No. 2S4 Seventh ave- DIR.
Hawkins said he thought the woman
choked to death by trying to swallow
the blood after the tooth was drawn.

New Jersey exhibits occupy most
important and interesting place in the
National Museum, Washington. One
of the latest acquisitions from the State
is one of the two original telegraph
instruments used by Prof. Morse and
Alfred Vail in the transmission of the
first electric message, which was sent
in 1874 between Washington and Balti-
more. This famous message comprised
the words: What hath God wrought?o
The instrument was received by the
Government from the heirs of Alfred
Vail. 1t was manufactured by the
Speedwell Iron Works, at Morristown,
in company with its twin brother,
which was afterwards destroyed by
fire; therefore it is the only one of the
Morse instruments in existence. In
comparison with the modern telegraph
instruments. this old-timer resembles
the works of an eight day clock. The
with coarse wire and painted blood
red. These are surrounded by net
work of large brass wheels. This is the
invention of Alfred Vail, who first
tested them in series of experiments
at Morristown, before the heroic wire
which electrified the world was stretch
ed between the cities of Baltimore and
Washington. Shortly after the first
message was sent Congress sanctioned
the experimental line, and the art of
telegraphy became a fixed fact. This
interesting exhibit is in large glass
case in the main hall of the Museum
and attracts the attention of hundreds
of visitors daily-Iron Era.

ATTENTION FARMERS.
Rooms of the American Agricul-
tural and Dairy Association,
169 Chambers street,
NEW YORK. Oct. 1St. 1886.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1st, 1886.
To the People of Ner Jersey:
The Oleomargarine Democracy of
your State have nominated a candi-
date for Governor, who stated in the
House of Representatives on June 4th,
that if he had been present when the
vote was taken on the Oleomargarine
Bill in Congress that he would have
voted against it, going out of his way
to thus declare his opposition to the
interests of the people of New Jersey.
Moreover this nomination was forced
through the Convention by Senator
Mcpherson, who opposed this bill in
Congress, and is published to have
for it if every citizen of the State of
New Jersey had petitioned him to do
so. This bill more intimately concerns
the farmers of New Jersey and the
country at large than any measure
ever introduced in Congress, and is of
like interest to the consumers of dairy
products. Its whole purpose was to
prevent fraud and imposition and pro-
tect the farmer in his just rights. 1t
has saved dairying, a most important
industry in New Jersey, from destruc-
tion; and freed the consumers of but
ter, poor and rich alike, from the
grossest imposition ever practiced upon
them, and yet Judge Green. the candi-
date just nominated for Governor bv
the Democratic Convention was against
the bill, and therefore the abettor of
fraud upon the public, and the sympa-
thizer with ruin to the farmer The
Oleomargarine Bill was supported and
voted for by 176 of the best and ablest
men in Congress and by majority of
the Senate, and in face of all opposi-
ton was adopted and approved by the
President in a message arraigning the
very practices Judge Green had given
his sympathy to.
There are $4,000 farmers in New
Jersey and the nomination of Judge
Green is an insult to every one of YOU
1t must be resented. The Republican
party has not yet nominated candi-
date, and on behalf of the American
Agricultural and Dairy Association,
the National organization of the farm
ers of America, | request that the
farmers of New Jersey, for their own
advancement and protection will use
their utmost endeavors to have the
Republican party nominate a candi-
date in sympathy with them, and that
they will give such a candidate their
unanimous support at the polls, and
thus teach the men who have forced
this nomination upon the Democracy
of New Jersey that the farmers have
rights that must be respected. A poll
tical convention in the State of New
Jersey that can only find room in its
platform for single line in recogni-
ton of agriculture, and that of no i'm
portance or value, deserves to be EN-.
phatically rebuked at the polls.
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH H. REALL, President.

The Ohio Liquor law has been sus-
tanned, in an important sense, by the
decision of the United States Circuit
Court Judges Walker and jackson
concurring, which refuse restraining
order asked by saloon keeper. In
the decision the Court lays down some
principles of wide application. The
Dow law, which imposes a special and
heavy tax upon liquor selling, does
not conflict, the Court holds, with the
Constitution of the United States; it
does not deprive the complainant of
his property, but lis only police
regulation in the interest of public
morals and for the common good; and
although it may in some measure affect
the value of his property or interfere
with its use in purposes for which it
was obtained, it does not thereby
deprive him of his property to any
greater extent than a large class of
legislation, both State and National,
that has not been questioned in our
public laws The fact that this
application was made to the Uuited
States rather than to a State Court
warrants the inference that the COM
plainant did not expect from State
Interpretation of the law a more
favorable decision.

WHY THE "ROYAL" THE BEST.

The improved method by which it
has been possible to produce pure
cream of tartar, has had an important
bearing upon the manufacture of
baking powder. By the process hereto
fore generally employed, it has been
found impossible to remove all impu-
rites, more particularly the tartar of.
lime, which remained to such an ex-
tent as to greatly impair the qualities
of the cream of tartar and to interfere
seriously with the strength and whole
someness of the baking powders into
which it entered.
In the new process, which is owned
by the Royal Baking Powder Company
of NewYork, and exclusively employed
in its extensive tartar works, the i'm
ported crude grape acid is so treated
as to remove all vestige of tartrate of
lime or other impurities, giving pro-
duct before unknown-a chemically
pure cream of tartar.
By the employment of these superior
facilities, the Royal Baking Powder
Company has made the Royal Baking
Powder as the chemists all certify, of
the highest degree of strength, 'abso-
lutely pure" and wholesome, and with
an always uniform leavening power.
1t is for these reasons that the Royal
never fails to produce bread, biscuit,
cakes, ETC., that are light, sweet, digest
ible, and wholesome; the eating of
which is never followed by indigestion,
or any of those physical discomforts
attended upon the partaking of inprop-
erly prepared food In rendering pos
sible the production of a baking powder
possessed of these qualifications, the
improved method of refining cream of
tartar becomes at once a matter of ma
terial Importance to the culinary world.

A CHILD BORN DRUNK.

The infant son of a we'll known citi-
zen of Westfeld, N. j., though but Just
large enough to walk and talk, appears
and acts like an intoxicated person. A
local physician gives history of the
case. 1t seems that the parents were
very exemplary young people, and e.
gan their married life without cloud
to dim their future. No one in The
town had better habits than the Young
husband, but some months after the
marriage he lapsed little from the
path OF temperance.
One winter evening the man went
from his home ostensibly "to watch
with a sick member of the village
lodge" He really visited Sam. Cos
chalk's tavern. The trusting wife dis
covered at 8 o'clock that her husband
had forgotten to purchase meat for the
breakfast, and she went to the market.
A stormy wind was blowing and the
snow was falling, but as she passed the
hotel, the sound of mans voice in
song came to her ears She listened
but moment. There was no Inistak-
ing her husbands voice, and, scarcely
knowing what she did, she looked in
at the barroom window and saw her
husband there in state of intoxica-
ton
Some time after this little episode, a
son was born to the parents-a fine,
healthy infant, bright and comely
Several months later. when the child
began to walk and talk, they took him
to IL physician The little one could
not walk without staggering in a most
unseemly and ludicrous manner, and
could not lisp baby words without
strange hiccough and hesitation. The
doctor, averring that If lie Lad seen
such symptoms in an adult he should
have pronounced them due to intoxi-
cation and nothing else, with little
difficulty obtained an account of the
unfortunate material impression that
provoked the peculiar nalady with
which the child is afflicted. No line Of
medical treatment could be of use in
such case, and reluctantly the physi-
clan gave up the infant boy to endure
his strangely miserable life.
The parents of the unfortunate child
are very sensitive about his condition,
and do not permit visits from strangers.
1t has, however, been arranged that
the parents shall take him before a
specialist in nervous diseases that there
may be localization of the malady if
possible. 1t is a very rare case, and
among its features is the odd fact that
alcohol in any form and in any guam
tity, acts on the child like a poison.

was in debt to the estate of the philan-
| thropist, John Mitchell, to the extent
of $1,375. AS this was always regarded
as a gift to the church, the discovery
members just prior to the sermon.
Mr.. Mitchell bequeathed nearly all
his vast fortune to the churches and
sunday schools of Burlington, and
when it became known that the church
of which he was member was in debt
to his estate, there was much excite
ment. Five years ago the Trustees of
the church borrowed of Mr.. Mitchell
81 900 at six per cent interest. When
ever he was approached with the in
terest he waived them off, and gave
them to understand that it was all
right. Taking for granted that it was
to be gift, the congregation took no
further interest in the matter feeling
that he would make provision for
the amount in his will He died,
however, and did not. The executors
now demand the money, and the con-
gregation has gone to work to try and
raise it.
Many mysterious burgaries have
been committed in Hammonton dur
ing the last two years, and all efforts
to discover the offender have proved
unsuccessful until now. On Saturday
night before going to a literary enter
tainment, Mrs. Knight, living near the
Camden and Atlantic Railroad depot,
noticed Charles Clark, a well-known
citizen, watching the house. She had
a young man named Lincoln Jones
ana another friend to come in to
watch the house, and then went away
as though no extra precaution had
been taken. The evening passed
quietly until 10 o'clock, when Jones
heard footsteps on the front porch.
The front door was opened by means
of a skeleton key, and man stealthily
entered and proceeded to light a can
die and go through the house. 1t was

when Jones seized a loaded cane

a fearful blow on the head, which
felled him to the floor. He was then
secured hand and foot. Help soon
arrived, and the buglar was removed
to the City Hall, where his wound was
found to be serious. He was quickly
given a hearing before the justice of
peace and committed to the county
Jail at Mays Landing. Clark has here
tofore been considered an upright
citizen and is in good financial circum
stances. 1t is understood that he has
made a full confession and that among
other crimes he confessed having
robbed the Post-office last year. Much
sympathy is expressed for his wife, who
about year ago inherited $4,000 upon
the death OF relative named Taylor,
who died at hotel in Philadelphia.

Hindoo Property Law.

A judgment was delivered In the
High Court of Bombay on the 10th of
April last after trial of fourteen days.
which deserves more than local
notoriety. The Times Of India says it
is 'the most important case that has
been tried in Western India for many
years" The claim was by the son of a
Hindoo millionaire, Sir Munguldass
Nuthoobhoy, and he demanded from
his father a partition Of all the family
property and an equal share. The
father refused the partition and the son
appealed to the High Court. The
Judge who tried the case, Justice Scoot,
following decisions of the Privy Coun-
Gil, ruled that son who was member
Of the Hindoo joint family hadan equal
right with the father and equal share
in the family property, and could claim
partition against the fathers will at
any time after majority. The Judge
pointed out that such claim was re-
probated as immoral by the ancient
writer's, but still admitted as just by
those of the highest authority in Bonn
bay. This seems an astonishing decis-
ion to European minds, but the author
tiles cited by the learned Judge show
its absolute legality in Hindoo law.
At the same time it has struck conster-
nation through the wealthy families Of
Western India The rule, no doubt,
is survival OF the primitive idea that
the family is an aggregate or collective
unit, of which all members have an
equal interest in the common property
