WHAT Am To Do : The symp-
toms OF Biliousness are unhappily but
too well known. They differ in diff
ferent individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast
eater. Too frequently, alas, he has
an excellent appetite for liquids but
none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time II 1t is not white and fur-
red. 1t is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
Of order and diarrhea or Constipation G
may be symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemor-
rhoids or even loss Of blood. There
may be giddiness and often head
ache and acidity or fatnlence and
tenderness In the pit of the stomach
To correct all this II not effect cure
ury Green's Angst Flower, IL cost
but trife and thousands attest its
efficacy.

The pleasing intelligence Is made public
here that nearly all the oysters which Chicago
epicures and others have been eating are sub
jected to such vigorous hydropathic treat
ment as to render them practically without
flavor. 1t is explained that the ''shuckersn
in the Baltimore packing houses in opening
the oysters throw Off all the liquid, as they
are paid so much a gallon for 'solid meats
The oysters are then thrown into larger
colander holding about barrel, and as soon
as ii is filed stream Of cold water in the
shape of spray is turned upon the oysters
for a considerable length Of time, for the
purpose of bleaching them and bloat
ing them. The practical effect of this Is
completely to deprive them of their original
flavor; but, as il this was not enough, large
piece of ice is put in barrel and the oysters
are then poured into the barrel and the
barrel headed up. In this condition they are
shipped to Chicago. Over 200 carloads OF
oysters were shipped to Chicago from Balti-
more last year, and after. being subjected TO
the cheering process Of an all rail ride to this
city their condition Is in no wise improved.

singular Trio on BROADWAY.

In upper Broadway is frequently seen a
singular trio Its most striking figure is a
man servant, of the1 English pattern, who
wears high hat with band of cloth around
1t and a dark blue coat, reaching to his shins,
and doubtless covering a more emphatic liv-
cry. He is as stiff as though frozen by the
blizzard, and his countenanee is utterly ex-
pressionless He carries two umbrellas under
one arm. The next person, taking them by
size, Is "a prim looking woman of 40, whose
plaSnness of dress is very careful when you
come to look ut il critically. The third
and important person is girl of 10, iaunty
in dress and air, and with a distressing
self consciousness considering her youth.
Her hand rests in u proprietary manner
on the arm of the woman, while the man
servant walks deferentially yet pompously
behind them. The child is going to fash
ionable dancing school for private lesson.
The woman is hers governess, who instructs
her in most of the branches of education, and
who is now escorting her to the dancing
master. The lackey goes along ostensibly to
protect the extra precious heiress, but really
to give impressiveness to the procession as a
sort of drum major.-New York Sun.

book, however, and it cost me $50 in green

first offered the guard $5 for shorthand
book, and finally raised him to $50. 1t was
an awful price to pay, as Confederate money
was then worth about two cents on 81, and
my $50 in greenbacks made the guard rich

covered as orders prohibiting the guards
from communicating with the prisoners were
very strict and .rigidly enforced. Col,

TUESDAY EvENlNe, Feb. IA, 1883,

TUESDAY EVENING, Feb. IA, 1888.
The sixth week of the Legislature open
ed last evening. Hon. BENZ. F. Howey'
of Warren county, was visitor in the
Senate, and that body passed resolution
according him the privilege Of the floor.
To-day there are many prominent yisi-
tors here. Among the number We no
ticed General William ]. Sewell, of Cam;
den county, and ex-senator James E.
Moon, of Warren county.
Up to noon to-day the number of bills
introduced in both Houses Of the Legisla-
ture numbered 4S9.
The local option bin will receive the at
tention of the Legislature this week, but
it is doubtful II. 1t can be passed in shape
to suit the Prohibitionists. The Repub.
licans are willing to aocede to the temper
ance party the ''lion's share but, as a
Senator remarked to us last evening, the
Prohibitionists "want the earth"--the
bill must be passed according to their
views or not at all. Therefore, it may
happen that local option win not amount
to much, after all, for another year.
Last Thursday brought many Grand
Army men to this city, to attend the an
nual encampment of the State Depart
ment. General E Burd Grubb was elect

How the Name Game About.

How the Name Came About.
We have often been asked how the
thriving and pleasant town of Sergeants-
vile had acquired the nickname of
"Skunktown. We ran across DIR.
Cramer last Tuesday night, and what
he doesn't know about Sergeantsville
and Delaware township ism worth know
ing. He promptly gave us the informa-
ton desired. He said that away back
in the early part Of the century the
proprietor of the hotel in that town Sc
cured new sign-post. The erection of
such stick was made an occasion of
great interest in those days. A hole
was dug one afternoon large enough to
bury house and barn in, and then the
workmen retired for the night Next
morning when the neighborhood had
gathered to assist in planting the post
it was discovered that three or four
skunks had taken possession of the hole,
as if they had decided upon it for win
ter quarters. From that day the town
of Sergeantsville has been dubbed
'sSkunktown. = Unfortunately, the Doc
tor could not tell whether the "var-
mints" were buried with the post. or
persuaded to leave peaceably with their
cologne sacks. --Hunterdon Democrat.

in the death of his estimable wife, which
occurred on Monday of this week. She

her family, her church aud her friends,
and to these she gave unstintingly her
best efforts and sympathy and love.
Possessing mind of more than ordinary

her death her holy life and her good deeds
