from Hudson's Bay to the Arctic Ocean
Frederick Schwatka had abundant OPP
portunity to learn the habits and the dis
position of the Esquimau d og.
He started out with sixty of them, us
ING them to draw the sledges, and only
ninetcen were alive when he re-
turned TO Hudson's Bay. The others

said:+

among them and play with them by

toy whips; and yet the same dogs were

1t would appear from a case that has
just been heard before a French tribunal
that the sale of o child is no very serious
ofrense. The parents of the little girl in
question resided In the Faubourg st.
Antoine, Paris, and in their caseit could
not be pleaded that they had too many
mouths to feed, since they had but one
child, a girl aged six years. Even this
charge, however, they found to be too
heavy IN circumference, so it was decided
to get rid of the poor little creature
to the best advantage. An acrobat

derstood that the remaining half should
be handed over after the purchaser had

little girl was in consequence taken away
by the acrobat, but a couple of weeks
later he put his purchase into a train and
sent her home, alleging that she pos
sessed none of the requisite qualities for
the profession to which he destined her.
The affair came to the knowledge of the

Some people who are altogether too
good for this world have been worry
ing Vice-P President Morton because he
owns a hotel building in which there
Is a bar, and because he helped his
tenant to get q license to conduct the
same bar ia accordance with law.
Now, of course, we have no sympathy
with such ~pharasaical nonsense, 1t is
going a little too far to jump or a man
because he owns a building in which
a reputable hotel is conducted in the
ordinary everyday fashion, and yet
we cannot help feeling that Mr.. Nor
ton, a a conspicuous member of the
Republican party, has laid himself
open to extremist criticism OF that
kind.
In the last campaign Mr.. Morton
tacitiy made the ~pretensions Of tn e
Republican party his own, and these
p~retensions were that the party was
eagerly bent upon the suppression of
the ubiquitous rum traffic" OF this
Shers can be no question. The Re-
publican speakers condemned the aw-
full Democrats with u~nsparing viru-
lence because they advocated moder-
ate excise legislation and were not in
favor OF impossible extremes of legis-
lation.
Naturally then Mr.. Morton, when
he builds a building, with the specific
object. in part, OF having liquor sold
in it, and Warner Miller, when he
grows grapes, runs wine presses, fills
up great cellars and sends out oceans
Of very middling but unquestionably
Intoxicating fluid all over the country,
put themselves in positions to be ridi-
culed IL not condemned by their fellow
citizens.-not for conducting legiti-
mate business, but for making absurd
and dishonest professions having no
correspondence with the facts OF their
lives.
The whole position Of the Republic
a party, and of nine hundred and
n~inety-nine out of a thousand OF its
members upon the LIQUOR question is
inconsistent and untruthful in the
last degree. No more ridiculous spec
tacle can be imagined than that of

The Newark Daily Advertiser had
a characteristic article in it's issue of
last Friday, entitled IA Ring En-
trenched, 2 in which it argued in the
usual fatuous way that the Hudson
County Democracy was a very wicked
body indeed but that, for some reason
or other, they could not be fred out
of office.
Now what preposterous s~elf-contra-
dictory nonsense is this. If the voters
of Hudson had not confidence in the
Democracy and it's leaders, could the
party maintain it's ascendancy for q
single year. Is it not in power because
it is the party of the majority, and its
leaders are the men to whom the citi-
zens feel they can safely entrust their
interests.
What is the use of indulging in fine
phrases like this one of the Ring En-
trenched." Where are the entrench-
ments? What is the meaning of
Ring Entrenched?" Here was a com
bination of democrats" gotten up to
undermine the alleged entertainments
of the alleged ring. What has hap
pened to it? Where is it now9 Where
will it be on election day? Why did
not the citizens flock to its sup
port.
Let us have no more rubbish and
humbug from Newark and New York
sensation mongers. We know our
W business pretty well in Hudson
county. We are democrats by
a large majority, we have
lately weeded out the handful
of ringsters who through base Repub-
lican legislation had got a grip OH our
affairs, and now we are in a fair way
to honest administration and rapid
progress in public improvements. We
are very we'll content with the situa-
ton, and our vote next week will
show it.

A Challenge to Colored O~rators.

Editor Jersey Citp Neles;-
You will please allow me space in your
columns to challenge any of the colored
speakers who are to address the conven-
ton of colored clubs at Library Hall,
Newark, N. j., on Thursday evening next,
October 81. / propose to establish the
proposition that it is to the best interest
of the colored voters Of New Jersey to
cast their ballot for the Hon. Leon Albeit.
My object in counting this friendly dis
cussion is to enlighten the voters of my
race upon the merits of Leon Albeit
against those OF General Grub, who is
comparatively a stranger to them and
who never has, by deed or word, done
anything that deserves their support. |
will be in Newark on Thursday evening
next, October 81, 1889, and can be seen at
the Newark Journal Office to make any
arrangements satisfactory. Don't back

troubled to make a selection. The girl
behind the counter entered with zeal, but
with respectful reserve, into the discus

capped the climax by proposing to the
hesitating buyer to take a sample home to
try by evening and daylight with the

English Dinners.

GHGAlSA plAiARIHs r. =
The old English dinner table was a
massive thing, and was heavily loaded for
dinner. There were huge joints. enorm-
GUS game pies and of poultry.
1t was considered the correct thing for
the hostess to carve and to press the
guests to gluttony, and the host to pass
the bottles several times too often, with
such a display of food there was little
room for floral decorations. In the course
of time the vegetables were banished
from the table and handed by the at
tendants. Then the made dishes were
dubbed entrees, and were cleared off the
table and brought in by the attendants,
piping hot. Finally the meats were taken
off, and at last the guests were permitted
to eat or not to eat, without any influence
on the part of host or hostess, while at
the same time the praising of the viands,
which used to be the practice, no longer
became proper--PittSbatTg Bulletin.

The Mash en- and the Basket.

A lady who lives in the suburbs was
down in the city marketing. She had a
large basket full and was going to the.
corner for the purpose OF taking the motor
line tor her home. She has Il petite and
rather youthful figure, but Is about fifty
years of age and has been a widow for a
decade.
A dapper young man. who was also a
"masher," saw her, and, approaching,
asked her If he might not help her home
with her basket. Now this widow hates
dapper young men, and especially mash
ers; she therefore told the young man he
might see her home and carry her basket.
He thought he had made an immense
hit, and he also thought in the dim light
that the widow was a beautiful young
lady.
The widow transferred her basket TO the
dapper young mans arm, u relinquish-
ing her idea of riding home in the horse
cars in order that she might have a large
bushel basketful of fun, she started with
her escort for a walk of about fifteen life
size, full length squares.
The basket got frightfully heavy in
about five BLOCKS; in ten it was a huge
white elephant. and by the time the two
reached the lady's residence 1t was II of
the. pyramids of Egypt, and the dapper
young man was badly blown and alto
gether broken up. The widow rang ahe
bell at her door and a grown young lady
came asking
"Why, ma, what did you ring the bell
for? The door was not locked"
The dapper Young man almost tainted,
and when the widow said Wont you
come in, sir? My husband would be very
glad to see YOU" he was paralyzed.
But he recovered quickly and went
away from there, and that widow has
been having c~onvulsive fits of laughter
ever since. in which she is ably seconded
by her daughter and the remainder of the
family. Tine masher has been taking
iron and quinine ever since to build up
his strength.

No Leap Year in 1900.

Although the year 1900 will be di-
visible by four without a remainder,
it will not be leap year. Eight years
must elapse before the interesting
event takes place, but it was just the
same in 1900 and 1900, but not in 1900,
for that was leap year and the year
1000 will be a leap year also. Why
this should be is a problem. TO eX-
plain in detail would be n tiresome
task, but it rests on the principle that
difference of II minutes per day
exist between actual time and calen-
dar time. Thus a year is computed
at 1865 days long, and the fourth year
366 days. In fact, the year is 36j
days, hours and As minutes long II
minutes short of 1861 days. The leap
year of every four years is said to be
an invention of Julius Caesar. To al
low for this difference of eleven min
utes, one leap year was dropped every
hundred years. But this was found
not be exact; and Pope Gregory NH.
in 1882 made an improvement and
decreed that every fourth centurial
year should be leap year. Thus by
emitting the leap year for three cen,
turial years and letting it remain as
usual on the fourth centurial year &
system is obtained so close that il
would take thousands of years tC
make up another days difference ir
time. The calendar time is still no.
exact automatically, but as NJ
change will be necessary for 4,OOC
years, it will not fall to the share o
the present generation to correct thu
discrepancy.
