GARRETT TRIES P0IS ON.
But Emetics Keep Him in shape for

NEW York, December lisp scial1-
Henry D. Garrett, the young lawyer, form
erly of jersey City, but later of the Stew
art building In this city, a story of whose
exploits was gwen in the SUNDAY MORNING
News two weeks ago, attempted suicide this
morning. Two weeks ago his mother.in-
law, Mrs OSulllvan, became security in
$4,000 for his appearance at the Jefferson
Market Police Court to answer to the charge
of having Tilted Mrs. Charpentier's pretty
daughter after having robbed her of $I2.
600; but early this week she surrendered
him into custody, and he has since been
locked up in the local prison here. Last
evening he complained of feeling III, and
the physicians gave him powerful meai-
cine to be taken in ten-drop doses. Gar
rett swallowed the whole dose, and was al
most in state of collapse this morning
when the Court officers went to his cell to
bring him out for examination. Drs.
Markweiss and Mundy, who were sun.
moned, administered an antidote, and he
was after time sufficiently recovered to
go into court The examination was re-
sumed to-day, but no new developments
were made. Mrs. O'Suiliyan and her
daughter, his vito, have aba2doned him to
his fate.

The Dry fsaaas Hause.

II il well known fact to all those who
seek for choice articles that are selected for
sale by the best dry goods houses of any Of
our large cities. that Brown d Van Ang-
len have no superior, Their care and de-
liberation in the assortment of their stock,
the order and system of its arrangement,
the manner with which it is placed before
the purchaser, the style and quality of the
goods, all combine to rank them as The dry
goods house of Jersey City. For the Christ
mas holidays they now offer long line of
fancy articles, which may be more clearly
understood by our readers il they turn to
the advertisement in another column, and
we are sure that there are none who, hav-
ing read, will not seek to select some of the
many articles there presented for their pur-
chase.

The application of some Republican
polical heelers, to annul the charter of one
of the Atlantic County Townships, in order
to destroy Beckwiths majority for the AS.
sembly, is very thin device to affect the
Senatorial question. 1t is er post .facto at
the best, and cannot possibly count against
the regularity of his election. II cannot be
expected to weigh feather weight when
he slaims his seat in the Assembly: and its
only purpose must be to create pretext
for part'saa refusal to seat United States
Albeit, when he presents his credentials at
Washington next March. IF the. next
United States Senate Is not Democratic, it
will at least have SO pefilous Republican
majority tina. q little partisan scheme like
this cannot probably be put through it.
The Republican couspirators will doubtless
find at the end of the battle that they have
wasted their ammunition for nothing.

A corn espondent wants us to say for him
collection of history goes, Ireland seems to
have discovered herself when, in the fourth
century her IS bould sojer boys swooped
down on the Roman Province of Britain
like thousand of brick. But Ireland has
been mentioned in Greek poem five CEN
turtles before Christ; SO that something
must have be3n known OF her before she
made the Roman world aware, by her de-
scent on Brittany, that she was part Of
the universe. We can't really say, whether
the particular Greek, who wrote the poem
referred to had accidentally stumbled
across Ireland, and so found her out; or
whether she existed only in his imagination.
The Greeks imagined SO many things you
know that it would have been surprising
If they hadn't accidentally imagined some
thing that really existed. Whether the
Greek knew or only guessed, nothing
authentic, as to the early history of Ire
land appears till the raid of the fourth CEN
fury. During that raid, a band of pirates
are suspected of hayirg carried sixteen
year-old youth named Succat from his
fathers farm at Eoulogne-sur-M er, into
the Green Isle; and when he escaped, he
probably took back into the civilized world
the first reliable stories of its existence, and
the kind of fellows who lived there The
youth afterwards became Monk; and was
sent back by the Pope, to CONVEX; the wild
tribes he had encountered there. He
achieved undying renown by the success
OF his missionary labors; and in all the
ages siucs has been reversed as St.Patriok.
II you would like to know anything else
about the history of ireland, we would re-
specially refer YOU to our four-eyed friend,

The SUNDAY MORNING NEWS inereLoft
supplied its readers, for the same price
as he Journal or the Argus, with more than
twice as many items of information as the
journal, and but trife short ofthree times
as many as the Argue supplied theirs with.
The special interest Of these figures lies in
bbe certainty with which they show how
carefully and thoroughly the SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS covers the local field of
intelligencs. Every interest of society or
the church, or club life receives its full
share of attention at our hands. We are
specially proud of the fullness of the infor-
nation given to the public under our de-
partment heads. 1t affords us pleasure to
say that intelligent attention to these lesser
matters of current gossip has done much
towards giving this paper the handsome
and constantly gro Eing circulation it now
enjoys. One day this week we put our
selves to the pains of counting up the
items of local news and gossip ariayed I'M

The counts bowed the following Figures

The telegaaphic notes contained the
latest information gathered from the Asso-
eiated Press dispatches sent to the SUN
DAY MORNING NEWS, up to one O'Clock
Saturday night-or Sunday morning, as
you pease-all the rest were notes of Local
current events. These details serve to
show the principle on which the SUNDAY
MORNING News is conducted. Some tyros
in Journalism, when they get one readable
story for their sheets, wrap themselves up
in mantle of self admiration, and thirst
f1r the moment when the presses shall
turn it out upon the public; then they
learn, from the flatness with which their
great stery is received by the public, that
one story can no more make newspaper
boom than single swallow can warm
spring blossoms into beauty. 1t is only
by cireful attention to detail, by looking
after all interests and pleasing all tastes
that public Journal can be successful,
and that is the secret Of the great popular
