TO Pay for Fresh Air.

Some weeks ago, a gentleman OF
this city left at the office of THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS $25, to be
applied to a certain charitable
purpose. The project to which it was
to be devoted did not materialize,
and one day last week the check of
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS Company
for $s5 was sent to the gentleman.
Yesterday he returned it, made pay
able to the editor of this paper, with
the request that it be applied to some
other charitable purpose, or, in other
words, as the donor says, ITO place it
where it will do most good"
In compliance with this request,
SIS will be sent to the Rev.
Mr.. Zabriskie to aid him in his admir-
able and most timely work OF furnish
ing free tickets for water excursions to
poor ONE and children from the
tenement districts who are in need of
fresh air. This is work of Christian
benevolence of which we have spoken
much in the past, and we are happy
to be the medium of aid to such a
good cause.
The remaining $40 will be sent to
the Rev. Mr.. Moffatt, Of Hoboken, as
a contribution towards the support of
his summer home for sickly women
and children who need country air to
build them up. This, also, is a work
Of charity which commends itself to
the heart of every
We wish we could conclude this ar
ticle by giving the name of the gener-
Gus donor of the money, but at the
time when he first gave it he desired
that it should be credited simply as
Cash" Doubtless he finds in his
feelings the reward of his liberality,
for there is certainly no pleasure in the
world equal to that of softening the
lot of the unfortunate.
We trust that the example shown in
this instance may lead many of our
citizens to contribute to the excellent
enterprises of Mr.. Moffatt and Mr.. Ia
Itbriskie.

WEATHER like that of yesterday
does not come wholly in vain when it
produces a joke like that perpetrated
by the Freeholders who sat outside
the meeting room yesterday and
killed the quorum,
ut rains too hard to go indoors
said they. We have had suspicious
about our Freeholders for a long time
but we have not heretofore felt
authorized to say that they didn't
know enough to go in when it ra1ned.
Yesterday was a bad day, but election
day will be worse if these fellows con
tinue to shirk their responsibility in
regard to those claims. 1t is little
satisfaction to know that the Free
holders regard the claims as shady in
a lump. What do they think OF each
one OF them on its own merits?

A Brave italian Spouse.

From Turin, Italy, comes the news
of the acquittal of Ginvra Dina, the
young and beautiful wife of the
Banker Dina of that city, whose trial
on the charge of murder has kept the
whole city in a fever of excitement for
a week. The husband of the accused
is we'll known as one of the boldest
spectators on the Italian Bourse, and
when misfortune overlook him he was
counted among the wealthiest bankers
of Turin.
Not long since he met with severe
losses on Change, and attempted
suicide by poison, but through the
efforts of the doctors his life was
saved, though for many weeks he
fingered between life and death.
While in this condition two of his
creditors made persistent efforts to get
C to him, which the bankers de-
voted wife watching at his bedside de-
MED them, but they, believing the
bankers illness feigned, one day called
at his house and threatened to break
into his room by force if prevented.
The brave wife seized a revolver and
fired it in the air, but this did not
brighten her assailants, who quickly
wrenched the weapon from her grasp
and proceeded toward the apartment
where the banker lay at the point of
death.
Crazed by fear for her husbands life
she armed herself with a sharp dagger
and followed the two men, one of
whom, a note broker named Coen
Cagli, attempted to wrest the dagger
from her hands.
A desperate struggle ensued, in the
course of which both fell to the floor
together and in the fall, as is claimed
by the defence, the dagger entered
Coen Cagli's side, causing his death in
a few minutes. Before dying, how
ever, the unfortunate broker stated to
the officer, who quickly arrived on the
spot, that the fault was entirely his
own and that the lady was blame
less.
Notwithstanding this, the young
woman was arrested on the charge
of murder. She was ably defended
and the trial, which attracted atten-
ton all over Europe, finally resulted
in her release. She was sentenced to
two months imprisonment, but the
sentence was remitted by the Judge
in view of her long imprisonment
awaiting trial.

Frederick S. Does Not Want to BE Gov

viewed Frederick S. Fish upon his al
legged Gubernatorial boom. Here is the
result
A pleasant smile waited over the
genial c~ountenance of the young lawyer.
and was forced into oblivion by a success
sion of broader smiles and a silvery vocal
accompaniment as the reporter asked him
to declare his intentions regarding the
Republican nomination for Governor.
81 have not been at my office before
since Thursday" said he. II have read
and been told of the newspaper articles
connecting me with the Gubernatorial
nomination. The articles were surprises
to me, as 1 am in no of the word in
the fight. Friends have urged me to n
ter the contest, but | am not satisfied that
the newspaper publications are prompted
by wisdom. I have been in the fight for
Surrogate all along"
NoT A MODERN CRGsUs
"And you're going to stay in right
along" interrupted MI. Cartwright. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Fish said:-
People seem to think that am a
wealthy man. AS a matter of fact, | am
not wealthy. l am obliged to pay close
attention to my business for a living.
am after the office of Surrogate ON
account of its pecuniary benefits. Yet |
am not fighting as hard as some men
might. Should my friends obtain for me
the nomination for Surrogate l would be
immensely pleased"
"In the event of your being nominated
in the convention as the Republican
standard bearer in the Gubernatorial
fght?" hazarded the reporter.
my course then would be purely an
after consideration" returned Mr.. Fish
with a smile. 81 fully appreciate the
desires and kind intentions of my friends,
and will fully make up my mind before
the day of the convention whether !
would accept the nomination if rendered
me. Ihave sickness in my family, and
am not in a position to take an active
part, or even give casual attention to
current political matters"
Schuyler b. Jackson and Joseph l..
Mum, MI. Fish's rivals for the Republi-
can nomination for Surrogate, are moving
actively along in the campaign. 1t is the
general belief that if Mr.. Fish will make
the effort he can beat his competitors in
the convention.

Lnc GhOaf OF CanerOu HdSas
From the Chicago Herald.
In the summer of 1882 w. G. Hart,
the g~eoiogist, and two other enthu-
siastie collectors of specimens were
eneamped near the lava beds between
the head waters of the Cacha de la
Poudre River and North Park: IL

desolation was heightened by the
proximity of the crater of an extinct
volcano, while bare rocks and dead
timber were everywhere. The hope
of securing rare formations for their
cabinets attracted the gentleman TO
the uncanny spot, for every one
averred that Cameron Pass was
haunted by the spirit of an emigrant's
daughter. Joe Shepler, a weltknowh
mountaineer. who was plotting the
party through the hills, had often
seen the ghost. and promised his COM
panions that they should view the
strange apparition before returning to
their homes. He said the spirit was a
thief, and frequently stole food and
furniture from the camps OF hunters
who ventured within her u%ninvlting
domain.

Cameron Pass was approaching, and
pointed to a strange being which was
swiftly moving toward the camp. The
marauder came to within 800 yards OF
the men, and seizing a haunch OF ven

ran off with it. Hart picked up his
rifle and, calling on his comrades to
follow, started in pursuit of the thief.

suitable surveys, &C., with a view to

suggestion that ten per cent. of the

Women Warriors.

In warlike times, when battle was
the business of life and victory over a
foe the highest honor that could be
had. when home in the true sense
there was none, and when castles
were less houses for pleasant living
than strongholds to shelter raiders
and resist assault, women were rs
heroic as their age. If they were not
as accurate in their aim as the arch
ers. of whom it was said every Eng
lish bowman bore under his girdle
| twenty-four Scots" they knew how
to man the ramparts and defend the
bridges as well as their lords them
| selves. Wonanliness in the bower,
dignity in the hall, courage in the
castle-that was the whole duty of
these noble women of a rude but
manly age, and to their example,
their influence and their shaping
power as mothers, England owes
| much of her greatness and half of her
| strength. Letting Boadicea pass as
an example of the feminine fighting
blood. we find in Dame Nichola de
| Camville an early specimen of the
warlike political woman. She took the
ROYAL side in the famous war with the
Barons and held Lincoln Castle against
| Gilbert de Gaunt, first for King John
and afterward for Henry Ill, till the
battle called Lincoln Fair broke her
power. The beautiful Countess of
| Salisbury, she who was so ardently
beloved by the third Edward, was
another instance of feminine daring,
in her case coupled with the loveliest
and most gracious sweetness. Black
Agnes was again a heroine, of the
virago type, and Queen Phifippa,
| Queen Margaret and others of the
same kind honored their adopted
nationality by their courage and de-
votion. Meaner women were as
brave. In a skir1nish at Naworth
Q570 Leonard Dacres had in his army
ssmany desperate women, who there
gave the adventure Of their lives and
| fought right stoutly." And at the
end of the last century and the be-
| ginning of this about half a dozen
women on the whole enlisted as
privates in the army and pulled
their pound as ~gallantly as men.
| Miss Jennie Cameron, Scotch and
.Jacobite, was another example OF the
