AMUsEMENTS.


"Belphegor, the Mountebank,n was
the play at the Academy last night
and alternately moved the audience
to laughter and tears. The character
is one of peculiar beauty and pathos
and was acted in a mastery manner
by Frederick Warde, the tragedian.
The mixture Of comedy and
tragedy SO oddly united in the
one character brings to us some
thing quite apart from the ordinary
and gives to Frederick Warde an ex-
cellent opportunity to display his own
finished style of acting, SO feeling in
pathetic, so winsome and happy in
comedy.
The play was particularly well
staged, the scenery being quite new;
and the handsome costumes of the
French lent a charm to all. The char
acter of Madelaine, acted by Miss
Stella Rees, is IN of almost equal
importance with Belphegor and
should not be marred by indifferent
acting. Miss Rees would do much
sbetter should she put more animation
and feeling into her part. The other
characters were we'll sustained
throughout, and a word of praise is

Inks of the Ancients.


According to the Roman naturalist,
Pliny, and other authors, the basis of
the ink used by ancient writers was
formed of lampblack or the black
taken from burnt ivory and SCOT from
furnaces and baths. Some have also
supposed that the black liquor which
the cutie fish yields was frequently
employed. One thing is certain,
whatever were the component ingre-
dents, from the blackness and solid
ity in the most ancient manuscripts;
from an inkstand found at Hercu-
laneum, in which the ink appears as
thick as oil, and from chemical analy-
sis, the ink antiquity was much more
opaque, as we'll as e~ncaustic, than that
which is used in modern times. Inks
of different colors were much In vogue.
Red, purple, blue, and gold and silver
were the principal varieties.
The red was made from verinillion,
cinnabar and carmine; the purple
from the murex, one kind of which,
called the purple encaustic, was APP
propriated to the exclusive use of the
Emperors. Golden ink was much
more popular among the Greeks than
among the Romans. During the mid
die or dark ages the manufacture of
both of it and of silver ink was an e.
tensive and lucrative branch OF trade,
and the illuminated manuscripts
which remain are a striking proof of
the high degree of perfection to which
the art was carried. The making of
the inks themselves was a distinct
business, and another connected with
it and to which it owed its origin was
that of inscribing the titles, capitals,
as we'll as emphatic words, in colored
and gold and silver inks.-Boston

REGULAR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
For Governor,
LEON ALBEIT,
Abbett,a Great speech.


The enormous and enthusiastic au-
dience which assembled last evening
at Oakland Rink to do honor to ex-
Governor Albeit, and to pledge him
support in his canvass affords an illus
tration Of the popularity which he en-
Joys as q candidate. 1t was not a
gathering of any class or section of the
community. All the elements of our
people were represented business
men and professional men,
employers and workers stood
side by side. and united in
cheering the principles of honest Dem
ocratic government, which Mr.. Alb
bett expounded in a speech of
unusual power and brilliancy.
The meeting was an effectual rebuff
to the cowardly falsehoods of those
Republican papers which have
claimed that the party in Hudson was
divided. There could be no mistake
about the ideas and feelings that ami
mated the great gathering. Every
man was staunch in the cause of equal
taxation, ballot reform, and the asser-
ton of the rights of the laborers of
the community on an equal plane
with those of the capitalistic section.
In his speech, Governor Albeit
covered the entire ground of the cam
paign, clearly defining his position on
every issue. We present his utter
ances in detail in another column.
We are confident they will commend
him to the voters, not only ON account
of their intrinsic strength, but also
because of the contrast which their
honorable frankness offers to the
shifty evasions of the Republican can
didate and the Republican platform.
Our only competitor has of late de-
veloped faculty for occasionally say
ing the right thing in the right way
that must be AS amazing as it doubt
less is refreshing to the reader. Here
is a case in point from yesterdays
edition.
The Mugwump New York Times, not only
gives, or sells, the use of its columns to the
parties who furnish it with stupid ISLANDERS and
reckless lies in reference to political and NUM-
cipal matters in Jersey City, but it editorially in
dulges in the widest of falsehoods and misrep-
reservations. Referring to the corrupt NUM-
cipal and political rings thai nave cursed this
city. the Times says:
Exposure Of the doings of the ring has been
made difficult by the subsidizlng of the local
press with profitable pnblic advertising. but the
people have begun to wake up, and a movement
against ring rule is well under way"
The Times could not have told a more solid, or
stupid, lie than that.

H. Il. Jacobs, Theatre.

Pat Rooney and his own company
of stars opened at Jacobs Hoboken
Theatre last night for one week.
The play presented was 'Pat's New
WARDROBE and although the play
has been before the public for some
time it would never be recognized as
it has been entirely rewritten and q
great many new features introduced.
The company are all stars and need
no words of praise; as Pat Rooney
and Kate Rooney are already very
well known. But a little might be
said of the balance of the company,
among whom are the Quaker City
Quartette, whose playing on musical
instruments and singing cannot be
surpassed. They are a whole show in
themselves, as are Pat and Kate
Rooney. The songs are all new and
rendered in such a way that they car
ried the house by storm.

The Camp Funeral Gloves.

a fascinating young married Woiian
of my acquaintance tells a quaint
little experience of hers while sojourTl-
ing as a brand new bride In a new
Colorado town. She had in her pos
session a pair of black kid gloves,
which turned out to be the only pair
in camp. Besides settling the ques-
ton of her social standing right from
the start this fact caused her to be the
recipient of many fiattering little at
tentions from the matrons of the camp,
who did not know how soon they
might need the loan of these emblens
of mortality.
Society in the camp was mixed II
somewhat unconventional. On ner
first appearance on Sunday before the
eyes of the shaved and shining camp,
the black kids made their appearance
out of due respect for the day. On
Tuesday she had a feminine caller,
who, after introducing herself II
beating about the bush a little, asked
IF she could lend her the loan OF the
gloves alleging as a reason that her
husband had been stabbed in the
back that morning. The gloves were
loaned and returned with Jealous care
at the close of the o~bsequies.
The first year in camp was a hard
on Deputy Sheritfs, and five sew
eral times did lorn reflects of these
officers come to her entreating the
loan of those black kid gloves to wear
at their husbands funerals. And each
time they came back a trifie more
stretched and more frayed out than
before, until she finally left off wear
ing them at all herself and devoted
them entirely to the camp buryings.-

"We often find secrets in the old
desks and secretaries that come here"
said an antiquary dealer, and once or
twice we have discovered valuables in
the concealed drawers. On one occa-
sion a workman OF mine came across q
number of gold pieces 80 hidden, and
a person in my own line of business
whom / knew told me that he had
turned up a will that saved the for
tunes of an orphaned family. You
see these things nearly all come from
Virginia and Maryland, where men
make a business of driving about the
country and collecting all sorts OF old
junk. Frequently they pick up from
the houses of families in reduced Cir
cumstances articles of furniture and
the like, such as dealers of my sort are
glad to buy. They pay the 1nerest
trife in cash for them. Old-fashioned
house furnishings are more in style
now than ever, and the rich people OF
Washington are my chief customers.
The field of supply in Virginia and
Maryland is showing signs OF exhaust
ion and goods of the sort sell to more
advantage for that reason. Look
through the fashionable parlors and
drawing rooms of Washington and
you will find them filed with the
movable possessions of first families
long disappeared, or, which amounts
to the same thing, reduced to poverty.
