Profits Inn Old Curiosities

There is many valuable thing
picked up at a bargain at the auction
sales. Recently a gentleman bought
pair of andirons at sale for 75c; he
FURNISHED them up little, and in a
few days New York man, looking for
antiquities, came along and asked the
price OF the andirons. He was told he
could take them along for $le.50; he
got them finally for $10.50 and thought
he had secured prize.
The same buyer of odds and ends at
sales, purchased an old'book the other
day for sc. He afterward sold the
book, which was a valuable one, for
$500.

An Explanation Needed.

The Ne,os closes it's report of "a
straight-out Temperance sermon" by
connecting itself with the sermon and
the minister who fiattered them by
saying:
The Ne,cs is staunchly opposed to
the granting of liquor licenses and to
the sale of intoxicants in every way,
and will lend all possible aid against
the traffic"
Thus the political status of the Neaos
is again defined. 1t would seem though
that the christian editors" of the
Ne,os ought to make some kind of an
explanation as to how it came to so
earnestly fatter and favor the election
of at least one man who is among the
most pronounced of all the members
of Council i'll favor of license.
Some of the saints may not know
how it happened, but some of the sim
ners can tell all about it.-Bridgeton

NON-PAkTISAN LEGISLATION.
How 1t is Likely Few Laws Will
be Passed.

NV = sASSSus
The fact that the Republicans have
the State Senate and the Democrats,
the House of Assembly, is sufficient
proof that there will be no partisan
legislation enacted during the wiuter.
1t has always been the case, where the
: Houses were thus divided, that the
number of bills passed was remark
ably small.
Five times during the past fifteen
years, the Houses have been domina-
ted by opposing parties, and the laws
enacted at such sessions, are usually
| few in number
In 1875 the Senate was Republican
and the House Democratic. 1t was
President Taylor and Speaker Wander
bilt that year, and the session lasted
fourteen weeks.
In 1882, when John T. Dunn, of
Elizabeth, was Speaker, and G.. A..
Hobert was President, the House was
Democratic and the Senate was not.
The session lasted twelve weeks, and
only 100 laws were enacted.
In 1888 when John Gardner was
President, and Major O'Connor
Speaker, the House was Democratic.
The session that year lasted eleven
weeks, and added 2Os laws to the
statute books.
In 1884, when Vail, of Railway. was
President and A. B. Stoney, of Mon
mouth, was Speaker, the Honse was
Democratic. That was long session
of fifteen weeks, and 225 laws were
enacted.
In 1887 the House was again Demo
cratic, and DR.. Baird was Speaker.
That was the disorderly house. Fred
Fish was President of the Senate and
the session lasted thirteen weeks. Only
1872 laws were placed upon the statute
books at that session.
The House in 1877 was tie and the
Senate Democratic. Leon Albeit was
President of the Senate, and Rudolph
Rabe, Speaker. Both were from Hud-
son county. 1t was nine weeks ses-
sion, and 1856 laws were enacted.
The average number of laws en-
acted during the years when both
Houses were controlled by the same
party, was 405. The average number
enacted when the two Houses were
controlled by different parties, was 1872

I. Did Not Settle the War, Somehow.

During the winter Of 1854, while the
4th Maine Battery was encamped near
Brandy Station, Va, the boys often
STAYED out into the country several
miles to obtain Something good TO eat.
One day one Of the boys, in company
with an infantry chum, went out some
four miles into the Rebel lines. Com
ing to farmhouse, they called upon
the family. Only the wife and daugh.
ter were at home. The father and son
were in the Rebel army. After obtain
ing some refreshments ut the house
they proceeded to the stable, which
was some distance away. On opening
he door Of the stable they saw, stand
ing in front Of them, a Johnny in Gray
uniform, face to face. Both had guns
on their shoulders and were too sur
prised to speak for some time. The
Confederate finally yelled out:
"Say, you Yanks, what are you down
here forf"
ITO put down the rebellion"
"Ye can't do it, nohow."
"Bet you 500 we can"
"Look here" said the Rcd, as he
came closer and put down his gun 10
indulge In gestures. "Ill play you q
game Of euchre 20 see which side is GO
ing to whip"
This was agreed on and pack Of
cards was produced. The Yank got
the first deal and made a point. The
Reb took the second and made a march.
At the next deal the score was even,
and pretty soon the score stood four TO
four. The play was careful, but the
Confederacy had the winning cards,
and as the Johnny took tho last trick
with an ace, he jumped up and yelled:
81 know IL. / know IL. Now, Yank
are ye squar9 Then go back and stop
this ERE war, 'eording TO agreement,
and mount yer critter and go home.

Always man of strong convictions,
the intense devotion to the Union
which had led him to oppose Breckin-
ridge and champion Douglas, led him
later to be q staunch adherent of Mr..
Lincoln when he came to be a candi-
date for the second time. The McClel-
Ian and Pendleton ticket he opposed
with all his vigor and eloquence, and
to him, as much as to any speaker in
the field, was Mr.. Lincoln indebted for
the electoral vote of Pennsylvania.
After the war he again laid politics
aside, although his national reputation
as an orator made him in great request.
Not until 1876 did inclination and duty
call him once more into the political
arena. He threw himself, with his old
time fervor, into the Democratic re-
form movement embodied in Mr.. Til
denis candidacy for the presidency. 1t
was in this campaign that he took up
the cudgels against what was
known as 1.-THE Cameron dynasty" and
at Lancaster made one of the most
scathing attacks on the powerful Penn
sylvanians, father and SON, that had
ever been essayed. Four years later
he challenged the admiration of the
country in his famous speech nominal
ing Gen. Hancock for the presidency.
That speech has passed into history,
ranking little below Lincoln's at Get
tysburg as q masterpiece of oratory.
Throughout the Hancock and Garfield
campaign he was a conspicuous figure
wherever the battle was the thickest,
and in all the land no one took the de-
feat of Hancock, the Superb more
to heart. 1t was his privilege, eight
years afterward, to appear in another
national Democratic convention and
make the speech of the occasion. This
was in June last, when, as citizen of
New York, with the badge of Tam
many Hall upon his breast, he COM
manded the applause of the conven-
ton and his party by renominating
Grover Cleveland for the Presidency.
Apart from his success at the bar and
his distinction in political oratory,
Daniel Dougherty's life has been stud
ded with triumphs. As a reconteur,
as lyceum speaker, as a literaturer,
as an orator of occasion, he presents a
combination of accomplishments and
an equipment for social distinction
rare, if not unequaled, among Ameri-
cans of his generation. An address by
him on THE Future of the Republic
delivered thirty years ago, had the rare
honor Of being quoted and commended
by the erudite Bulwer on the floor of
the house of commons.
From 1852 to 1865 he was constantly
IN request as lecturer before literary
societies and institutions of learn
ing, and, TO this day, only
