Jersey city Postmastership.

fN"s nc OCWft tte- .E.I
Postmaster Kelly, who was sum
marily removed to make place for a
chronic office holder, has been a most
efficient official and has given Jersey
City a better postal service than it
ever had before. He has served only
about one year Of his term, although
his republican predecessor, John D..
Gopsill, was permitted by President
Cleveland to serve out his full term,
which was continued three years UNI
der the democratic administration.
Nh. Kelly is removed three months
after President Harrison's inaugura-
ton. Could there be a better com
N entary on the sincerity of republi-
can campaign professions?
Republicans in Essex and Hudson
may as well make up their minds that
they are kicking against the pricks
when they oppose the autocratic will
of General Sewell. The future pat
ronage in New Jersey will be disposed
as he shall dictate, and it will be used
to reward his personal followers and
fortify his powerin State politics with
out regard to anybody's wishes.

The "Dowdy'' Girl Gets No Seats at the
T~heatre-Hints About Suitable Colors,
Materials and Styles for Dresses.
At any little informal gathering Of men
and women, when the fairer portion begin
talking about their dresses and dressmak-
ers, as they invariably do, the men ex-
change glances that plainly say, "Dear me,
it is wonderful how frivolous they always
are;" forgetting that they are really re-
sponsible. Do they ever give seats, or
show any earthly attention to a dowdily
And even when they are going out with
their wives they are apt to cast an eye
over them and remark in q ~displeased
voice, "Why, / thought you were going to
put on your best blue dress and brown
hat. That is the way with h men. A
little outside show takes their fancy, just
as jHdicious fiattery will win their hearts.
Naturally, the women have got into the
way of thinking that dress is of more con-
sequence than anything else, and when a
particular taste for it is accompanied by a
slender allowance of pocket money, still
more thought than usual has TO be be
slowed on the subject. To have only a

great many occasions requires cOnsidera-
BILE study and almost necessitates having
them all black. Ladies say. II really did
want to buy black for my new dress, but
I have So few things that if | have any
thing colored am thoroughly sick OF It
before ii is worn OUT Even black corsets
are in general wear now in the winter.
Black is not by any means becoming to
all women, although they are very apt to
think it is. Black woollen goods, es-
pecially, do not suit blondes; silk and jet,
however, being sometimes less trying TO
them, light colors make them look much
prettier. 1t happens at this time OF the
year occasionally that ladies who are
housekeeping and intended to stay in the
city all summer begin to feel as If they
would like to go away some place and
stay two or three weeks for a little change
if they had only made any preparations.
But they need not really feel at all uneasy
on this score if they have only two or
three gowns that are black or dark, and
not too heavy they can get along very
nicely. There is really no great show in
the way of dressing excepting at three or
four of the largest hotels at the principal
watering places. Many of the young
women have made all their dresses them
selves this summer, the plain, full skirts
in style making it very simple matter,
particularly with thin goods that have
their skirts hemmed and not lined, then
they have q good surpliee waist pattern
fitted to them and cut them all by 1t.
They wear these dresses with broad
sashes and make them dressy when they
wish to by addinga lace or muslin flchu,
and pin on ribbon bows in odd spots. II
it is impossible to compete in variety and
richness with ones friends one can try to
have everything they have becoming and
adopt q very clean, neat style OF dressing
which always takes.

IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
The Postponement of the Philadelphia
Convention Approved.

The Postponement of the philadelphia.
Convention Approved.
The Central Branch, Irish National
League, held it's regular monthly meeting
Yesterday afternoon in ST. Johns Hall.
Part of the business transacted was the
reading of a communication from John
Fitzgerald, national president, notifying
the members of the League that the con-
vention. which was to have been held IN
Philadelphia on the. 9th and 10th of July,
had been postponed until after the adj
journment of the English Parliament, 50
as to give Mr.. Parnell or some other mem
bers of the Irish party an opportunity to
attend the convention.
NJ, B. Holmes offered the following
resolution
Resolved, That the Central Branch approve
of the action of the national officers in post
poning the convention, as requested by Mr..
Parnell.
Mr.. Holmes said he was sorry to see
that members of the League ia some To-
ealities seemed dissatisfied because the
convention was postponed. Speaking for
himself, he said that the time originally
selected (the hottest period of the year,
was a very bad time to bring men from all
over the country to discuss questions
which needed the most careful considera-
tion.
He said that he believed it to be the
duty of all patriotic Irishmen to bow to
Mr.. Parnel1's decision without murmur-
ing, when the interests of the Irish people
and the welfare of the Irish national
movement were concerned.
Other members spoke in the same
strain and the resolution was unani-
moasly adopted.

Ny Kingdom and My Queen

From the Youths Companion.
My kingdom has no dazzling throne,
No palace grand upon it,
Yet lis as bright as e'er was known,
Or sung In loyal sonnet.
I've travelled east, I've travelled west,
Mid scenes of wealth and splendor,
But this one spot l love the best,
With all its joys SO tender:
No place so dear I've ever seen,
For peace reigns here, and Love is queen.
Two subjects in my kingdom dwell,
One has an eye of azure
And smiles upon her fair face tell
OF pure and perfect pleasure.
And one has hair of raven hue
And eyes of hazel beauty,
And whate'er he may strive to do,
He always does his duty
And faithful they nave been
To her who is my household queen.
And as life yields me newer joy
And hope divine and human,
l see one now no more a boy
And one almost a woman.
The bright days come, the bright days go,
And each brings some new pleasure,
And nc spot on earth l know
Is richer with heart treasure.
Nor happier subjects ne'er were seen
Than in my home where Love is queen.
BY no high sounding, royal name
Or title they address her,
AS cheerily, their ayes flame
With love, they kiss and bless her,
But with a voice of gentle tone,
Which joy gives to each other,
They call her by one name alone,
The hallowed naIne of mother!
A name the sweetest known to man
Since time and love their course began.

ONE of the most ~disgraceful things
about the administration of justice IN
New York is the facility with which a
respectable person may be placed I'M
der arrest at the instance OF some
foolish or malicious person. The case
of Violinist Mollenhauer is one IN
point. In reality the only person III
neeted with this affair, from the
Judge down, who escapes disgrace, is
the prisoner.

The MAYORS welcome Prophecy.

According to Mayor Cleveland, We
are in a year or two to have wei
paved and well cleaned streets. Ihen
Jersey City will hardly know herself.
The work is to begin soon, n IN
deed il cannot too
1t is astonishing what a difference
this n small matter of externals VIII
make. Cities of half our population,
wealth and enterprise put on airs be-
cause their streets are better than
ours. Even little Paterson has some
thing saucy to say lin the vicious
pride of her heart"
But Jersey City has been strng
CLING for years under the load OF a
Republican, Charter, and the only
wonder is that the city was not driven
into bankruptcy.
We hope a better era has dawned
for her now. Let Mayor Cleveland
and his new officials proceed directly
but cautiously with the work OF re-
form, and all will he well.

Was 1t an Omen of Bad Lucke

PfOHt tuS luFgO'u OVeH@"N'
Leonard Searborn and Jennie May
lord, of New Haven, were married last
November, and on their wedd ing day
just as they were leaving the church
after the ceremony, they were con-
fronted by a coffin containing the re-
mains of a young man who had died
OF rheumatism. The bride turned
pale, and, with many other persons,
deemed it an omen of bad luck for
herself and her husband. Searborn
was stricken with rheumatism four
weeks after his marriage, and has
been confined to his bed ever since.
He is now so crippled and helpless
that the doctors say he cannot recover.
He and his wife attribute all their
misfortune to meeting that corpse ON
their marriage day.

The Modern Newspaper.

The essay written by Miss Lulu
Farrant upon Newspapers p is quite
a remarkable production in it's way.
1t developes no new or startling theo-
ries, that was hardly to be expected,
but it exemplities in a remarkable
way the current popular notions re-
specting the daily paper, and is the
strongest sort of testimony regarding
the intimate and cordial relations that
exist between the thoughtful Ameri-
can public and their press.
Here is q young woman of only
seventeen years,-though plainly a
young m of reflection and en-
lightenment, and the place which
the newspaper seems to fill in her mind
is that of the great moral and mental
guide philosopher and friend of all
mankind She speaks of it as a mar
vel of enterprise-an exemplar in that
respect to all contemporary organiza-
tions. She alludes to its influence in
moulding public opinion, and she ex-
hibits it's capabilities for the diffusion
of knowledge and refinement. She
might have added just one thing, it's
power of controlling the wicked and
depressing evil through the Irresistible
force of publicity.
Miss Farrant's paper is throughout
admirably conceived and written.
While evidently the product OF a fresh
young mind, it is equally the result of
careful training. Miss E5arrant has
not done honor to herself alone. She
has shed no small hstre upon the
school where she has been brought
up, and upon the teachers who have
educated her. Many of her sentences
sparkle in a way that praetieed
writer's might envy. This sentence is
quite arhstorieal gem:-"The star of
oratory has paled before the ascend
ing sun of journalism" The follow
ing passage too has something OF sus-
tanned eloquence that we would
hardly have expected TO find in a
school composition
This marvellous force banishes rulers, revol,-
ionizes governments and enhsts nations in
triumphant or disastrous wars, and thus changes
tina aspect OF tine civilized portions of the globe,
The orator speaks to thousands, the press to mil
liens The orator can move an audience. the
press can arouse nations. The. orator may fail
at o critical moment, but the press moves ON it's
way with ease, power and precision. Words die
upon the lips which giyes them utterance. hut
the press lives on for ever on an imperishaple
page
This is excellent. We congratulate
Miss Farrant most heartily. We con-
graduate Mr.. Poland and his corps of
teachers. We congratulate Mr.. Feeney
on the pleasant result which his
liherality has brought about, and we
can only say to the defeated compet-
itors for the medal, that it is no dis
honor to be surpassed, when the win
ner Is Sc strong,
VIM. WALTER PHELPS is to have
