THE bill introduced in the Assembly
by Mr.. Martin, of Iowa county, appro-
prlatihg $4,000 TO aid in making deep
mining explorations in southwestern
part of the state is a good one and
should receive hearty support. The
best minerals taken from mother earth,
come all the way from 500 to 1900 feet
below the surface, and tho superficial
,hggings of lead, mining is not sufficient
10 determine tho actual mineral worth
of the land. This is amply illustrated
in the coal mining districts of Pennsyl-
vania, and the gold aud silver mines of
Colorado aud California. If tho mere
cut groupings of those metals had been
taken as the full value of tho lands, the
immense richness of the states and the
large fortunes made thereby, would
never have been developed. BY all
means let the state aid private capital
in this enterprise, she will not be with
out material gain in the end.

The Corpse strewn Field.

This is a good time to take a glance
over the battle field and see how the
fight was fought.
1t is q horrid spectacle. The man
gled bodies of the slaughtered re-
publican slanderers and thimble-rig-
gers are scattered all around. Nobody
has yet been able to find the remains
of General Grubb; but the wretched
Griggs, all crushed into pulp by
the terrible Allan McDermott, the
Roland of the New Jersey Democ-
raey, lies CHASTITY on the grass to
which he was sent by those terrible
letters on his legislative career. Then
there is ''Old Heb of the Trenton
Times, poor old boy, he is not quite
dead, but goes limping around whin-
ing and whimpering with pain. The
FREEDMAN howls in agony, and the
walls of numerous other editors are
piteous.
Sewell has crawled into a hole to
die. Jim Scovel's carcass, hideous in
its own shamefulness, testers on the
CORY field. Sam Dickinson, too,
showed under with copied envelopes,
$ sad to look upon.
But the most edifying sight of all is
that of major Pangborn safely perched
among the highest limbs of the tree
up which he crawled when the fight
began. From his secure seat he fired
bricks yesterday, at the dead and
wounded of his recent allies. The
Major is wise in his generation, and
he can see defeat about as far ahead
as anyone we know.

A Contractor With a Brass Cheek.
Well, was there ever such a case of
brazen effrontery as that of Contrac-
tor Brown, who is not building the
Hall of Records3 Here is winter com
Ing on and this structure which should
have been finished last June is wait
ing in an incomplete and unprotected
condition for the storms to ruin it.
County Superintendent Cannon
gives it up"
In his message which the Freehold
ers would have received yesterday if
they had chosen to attend the meet
ing, the Superintendent declares that
Brown and his sub-contractor do not
treat his orders or suggestions with
common courtesy" Why this should
surprise the Superintendent we do not
know. A man who practically defies
the public and sits on his launches
waiting to see what they are going to
do about it, is not likely to be touched
with remorse at the order OF a single
official.

A Lady,s Cycling Costume.

Mems cycling suits are, by all odds, the
most picturesque of their several sport
ing habits; and this is doubtless the in
centive that urges the women riders to
find equally tasteful models for. their
wheel costumes. They must, of course,
be based firmly upon durability, and this
is the keynote of the following suit in
which Mrs. L., Of Chestnut Hill, speeds
over the even roads mounted on her
graceful machine. 1t is made of dark
green wool1en cloth. the front breadths
laid in plaits, the back gathered full into
the waistband. 1t falls just to the ankles.
The feet are incased in thick soled, Hat
heeled, laced kid boots. The Norfolk
shaped jacket matches the skirt in ma
terial, and is confined with a stout leather
belt. With this are worn a cap Of dark
green cloth, with visor. and long, tan col
ofed mousquetaires. A novelty in the
cyclin gskirt is to make the material upon
q long foundation, bordered with the
same. When mounted, the skirt is let
down its length which covers the feet
completely. BY mean of cords the skirt
is reduced to it's ordinary ZENITH when the
rider wishes to walk.-TGble Idlk.

Kisses by Mail.

A young postmaster of a village post
office was hard at work when a gentle
tap was heard upon the door, and III
stepped a bashful maiden of sixteen with
4 money order which she desired cashed.
she handed it to the official with a bash
full smile. who, after closely examining
it. handed her the money it called for.
AT the same time he asked her ii she had
read what was written On the margin of
the order.
sNo, | have NOT she replied, sfor I
can not make it out. Will you please
read it for me?"
The young postmaster read as folloWs;-
II send you 70 aud a dozen kisses.''
CHANGING at the bashful girl he said.-4
sNow, | have paid you the money, and
suppose you want the kisses
'sYes," she said, 'if he has sent me any
kissegI want them, too &
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
balance of the order was promptly paid,
and in a scientific n at that, and
eminently satisfactory to the country
maiden, for she wen out OF the Office
smacking her lips as If there was a taste
apon them she never encountered before.
After she arrived home she remarked
to her mother:-"Eh, mother. bnt this

Facts Talk-our Splendid Success.

Facts Talk-Our Splendid Success.
This is a day OF ~jubilation in the
Office Of THE JERSEY CRY NEWS,
and we call upon our patrons and
such Of the public as are interested in
our success to rejoice with us. We
present to our readers today for the
first tine on a week day a six page
paper.
We are compelled to this step by
the pressure on our advertising col
umns, and by our determination to
furnish to the public of this city a
newspaper replete with interesting
matter, without the least regard to
the trouble and expense involved.
This has been a week of extraor-
binary progress for us. Our great
local paper of Sunday was our first
shit" OVER FIFTEEN THOU
SAND copies of this edition we're
printed and sold. There was hardly
a household in the county which it
did not reach. There was not a town
or city in the State where it was
not seen and spoken of. Copies were
sent by buyers all over the United
States. and one gentleman came into
the office to compliment us and say
he had sent three copies of the paper
to Japan, while another informed us
that he had sent copies to friends in
England and Scotland.
Then came our splendid election
extra Of Wednesday morning. This
we consider a genuine journalistic
feat. The clear form, the wonderful
completeness, and the absolute accur-
acy of our tables have never, we be-
lieve, been surpassed by any news
paper. Our results for New Jersey
and for Hudson county were as
thorough and as handsomely pre-
sented as those of the great New
York Herald for New York State
and city. We say it advisedly, we
know whereof we speak, and we
make the claim without fear of son
tradiction.
About four thousand copies of this
extra edition were sold on Wednesday
morning, and this remarkable sale
was followed by an afternoon edition
OF nearly eight thousand five hundred
The results of this boom, the keen
public appreciation of the excellence
of the election editions left their mark
on yesterdays sales, nearly seven
thousand copies of the paper being
disposed OF, although there was no
unusual occurrence n the CITY TO at
tract public attention.
Next comes our great paper today
with it's magnificent display of New
York and Jersey City advertisements.
Nothing like it has ever been seen in
this city before. And, despite this
L2t f
display, Che presentation which we
make OF reading matter is unusually
good. Politics, social life. the
courts, and the business activity
Of our city are all represented, and
besides, cable and telegraphic news
carefully selected, is presented for the
entertainment Of our readers.
It seems to us to be a great paper,
we issue it with pride, and we ask the

THE darkness which has settled
around the scupping den, now vacant'

like the false fires built by wreckers
on a dangerous shore. The young

the home lights without the danger
of being misled into shoals and break

pride in our share of the work of put

Campaigns of Islander.

The Republicans made the recent
campaign one of personal abuse. Not
content with striving to rob Governor
Albeit of the credit due to his public
acts they attacked his private bust
ness career with the vilest of calum-
MES.
On the Democratic side, not one
word personally disrespectful to Gen.
eral Grubb was said. The Republican
papers undertook to deny that he was
a cock-tighter, and SO on; but the
Democrats waged the fight on
strictly public and political
grounds. This was the case,
too, in spite of the fact
that most strenuous efforts were made
by certain enemies of the General to
induce this paper to publish a story
invading the privacy OF his personal
career.
The editors of this paper and the
managers of the Democratic campaign
resolved to have nothing whatever to
do with any such methods of attack.
One distinguished Democrat put it
in this way, in conversation with the
editor of this paper: IF Albeit were
sure to be beaten without this story,
and if / were sure this story was true,
and if / were sure it would elect him,
l would still advise against its publ
cation
That is the magnanimous spirit in
which the Democratic campaign was
waged.
And it paid in the long run.

Over on the West Side is 8 very hand
some young lady who is afflicted with
somnambulism. When she puts her pref
ty head upon the pillow at night she does
not know what may befall her, before she
awakes in the morning, and she worries
q great deal over this strange affliction.
Her people watch her as closely as posi-
bic. but she objects to any regular espion-
age during her sleeping hours. One night
long ago she went TO bed at the usual
hour. Along about one a. m. her sister,
who slept in an adjoining room. awoke
and went to see if the girl was all right.
Her bed was empty and her door was
open! The house was aroused and q
search for LA Somnambula" was begun.
She was found-but whereg Curled up
in a little ball on the coal in the cellar
coal-bin sleeping soundly. She was
aroused quietly and went back to her bed,
where she slept well until morning. In
her dreams she must nave imagined that
coal cost more than u good bed. and she
was about right.-ChicGGo Herald.

congratulation of our fellow towns

Mr.. Cannon also calls attention to
the remissness of the gentlemen whose
duty it is-as he says with unconscious
humor-to Overlook" the work.
They are very derelict, says he.
There has been an overabundance
of patience in this matter. The
~severest measures that can be en-
ployed should be resorted to without
the delay of a moment. And this
business of Browns should be made
an example.

The lady Rent CoIIector.

Miss Octavia Hill. the English philan-
thropist, originated the slady rent col
lector,n who has become a well known
feature in London poor districts. The
lady rent collector, as a rule, takes charge
of a block of workingmen's dwellings.
She not only collects the weekly rent and
keeps a watchful eye on sanitary ar
rangement, but she generally 'mother's'
the whole concern, and finds work for
the boys and places for the girls, cheers
up the overdriven wife and does her ut
most to keep the husband from the public
house. The whole system depends, of
course, for it's success on the individual
character and power of sympathy and dis
elimination, and it was in this that Miss
Hill excelled.-NelO YOrk Ielegrdm.

1 Coke Lift. 1879 b.
"For obvious reasons the func-

officer are entirely distinct. The
Court cannot usurp the duties of his

the manner in which they perform
those duties"

The blades weigh 3,1G0 pounds
