TOWN MEETINGS,

Next Tuesday town elections will
take place throughout this State.
Unfortunately there is a feeling,
altogether too prevalent everywhere,
that it matters little whether citi-
zens bestlr themselves to secure the
nomination of good men for the To-
cal offices. On the contrary, it is a
time when the voters duty demands
that the opportunity be so improved
as to fill such positions with upright
men who believe that they owe the
community the most efficient and
honorable service in their power
Not men to labor for any party or
sect; for politics should not be
brought into these elections, and
the fact that a man is a Republican
or Democrat should be no argument
either for or against his holding
town office, and this is especially true
in towns the size of those in Essex
County. We want men who will
act for the good of the town, for
principle, and not from partisan con-
sideration. One of the great ques-
lions of the hour in these town
elections is the economical and hon.
est conduct of public affairs, there
fore, by the choice of men who
command the esteem and confidence
of their neighbors, you must Of ne
cessity ensure wise and economi-
cal administration. Citizens, nomi,
nate your best men irrespective of
party consideration. In behalf of
the town of Brighton we can only
hope she will have as good officers
In the year TO come, as she has had
III the year now drawing to close.

Written for the HERALD:
MY EXPERIENCE IN EUROPE.
Al the Court OF Spain.

DEAR SIR:-During my sojourn
in Europe last year had the fortune
or rather the misfortune to be a guest
of his Imperial Majesty the youthful
sovereign of Spain, and | assure you
the experience was not to my liking
any more than when found myself
in an Italian Brigands' camp I'M
expectedly one morning after having
lost my way, of which more anon.
His majesty is very entertaining
when he is in the humor to be 50,
but at the first interview the fates
seemed to be against me. Notwith-
standing my friendly advances,
made in an old bachelors style, that
is to say with vague feeling of dis
trust in meddling with children who
are in the habit of making personal
remarks which, to say the least, at
times are embarrassing, | failed to
entertain the royal youth to his
liking.
The first few hours of my visit
were spent in viewing all the curiosi-
ties, ancient and modern, contained
in the palace, and l must confess for
the moment I was almost wicked
enough to wish had been born with
a long handle to my name and a
large collection of family heirlooms
which would reach back to the anti
deluvian period. However, checked
my imagination in time and when l
had returned to the large drawing
room where it had been arranged |
was to meet all the notablcs of the
royal household my republican mind
had settled into it's natural calm. AS
l entered the large and beautiful
drawing room, already alluded to, |
was deeply impressed with sense
of my own littlencss among all such
grandeur, but quickly recovering |
was ushered up before the imperial
head of Spain, and this time the
fates were more propitious. The
' royal infant, with surprising gravity
for a child, was seated in very
: large chair and, Notwithstanding the
| presence of such an august assem-
t blage, could not refrain from Civ
e ing vent to my feelings of amuse
. ment in an audible chuckle. Oh
G course, all the courtiers lifted W
a their hands in dismay, and looked
l. at me with helpless horror; bu

It broke from the OBTAINING grasp o

If e,and after making several detours
d no doubt with the intention of sizinI
h me up, he made an unexpected gym
e nastic jump on my manly breast
a Now as | was not expecting an,
l. such reception | had not braced my
It self for the ordeal, and the conse

1t and myself went down in a very I'm
e dignifed way which made his lord
o ship, the prime minister, roar wit
v laughter and, of course, the Jesse
n mobiles followed slit, so that in a fey

lie boisterous mirth. After the prim

excellent resume of The discussion,

The negro is in the South and here

ANY idea Of the possibility of re-
versal of these facts is vain, fool
ish, impraclicable, full of moon
shine. The North would not allow
the disfrancmsemen; OF the negro
the South will mol demand il. The
South is willing for The negro tC
live here--the South would count
it a blessing had not the crime q
his immediate disfranchlSemen
been enacted. The South is will
ING 10 see The negro prosper, TO owl
Lands, horses, cattle, everything
pertaining to comfort, or influence
and enlightenment. The South ]
willing to project the negro in hl

A COUNTRY SCHOOL.
Pretty and pale and tired
She sits in her stiff backed chair


Pretty and pale and tired
She sits in her stiff-backed chair
While the blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And the little brook without,
Thatsh hears through the open door,
Mocks With its murmur cool
Hard bench aud dusty floor.
1t seems an endless round
Grammer and A, B, G;
The blackboard and the sums;
The stupid Geography;
When from teacher to little Jim
Not one of them cares Il straw,
Whether "Johnn is in any ''case."
Or Kansas in Omaha.
For .Jmmy's bare brown feet
Are aching to wade in the stream,
Where the trout to his luring bait
Shall leap with quick, bright CLEAN
And histcacher's blue eyes stray
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
Till her thoughts have followed her eye'
With half-uncOnsclOus sigh.
Her heart eutruns the clock,
As she smells their faint sweet scent
But when bave time and heart
Their measure in unison bentf
For time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when you tain would pass
Have patience, restless Jim,
The stream and fish will wait;
And patience, tired blue yes
Down the winding road by the gate
Under the willow shade.
Stands some one with freshcr flowers
So turn to Sour books again,
Aud keep love for the after hours

of The current. The surface
current, il was noticed, has a
much higher velocity than The
sub-surface. During our observa-
tions we occupied twentv-slX dit.
ferent stations, being anchored at
each for several days at Time.
We took 1857 current observations
with the meter and 1907 current
observations with the pole during
This time"
And what deductions did you
make ~
"These only: That neither the
Mississippi river nor the trade
winds were in any way responsible
for the gulf stream; that il was
affected by the changes of the
moon, and that this particular
point, eleven and one-half miles
east of FoMey Rocks lighthouse,
was lis true axis or source"
"What theories have You in rel
erence to the probable first cause OF
! the stream u
Iundreds. 1t is a great field
for speculation. just imagine, II
You can, what would have been the
result if we could have donned
submarine armor and dived 10 the
bottom IN 49S falhoms OF water.
We made soundings, but they re-
vealed 70 us nothing. The bottom
was a sandy coral foundation; fish
and other submarine creatures llv-
ed and diSporled themselve III The
DEPTHS and all the time that surg.
ing, resistlesS current boiled about
us, defylng inquiry as TO It's true
origin.
1T might be, for ought anyone
could say TO the contrary, The
mouth of a great river, with Its
source deep down i'll the bowels OF
the earth, among those everlasting
| fires that scientists tell us are con-
tinually burning there. The super
heated water gushing TO the sur
face of the ocean at that dep:h with
a power that cannot be estimated
would be apt to displace The chill
ed and heavier water of the ocean
and with an initial velocity ol
nearly six miles an hour would
certainly clear for itself a pathway
through the ocean until chilled ano
rendered inert by the frozen waters
Of the Arctlc seas.
"Again, ii may be that we were
anchored over an lmmen5e ant
ever-active volcano, which, IN ne
way crippled by The CONSTANT in

The MyrtIe Orange.

d, Redmond in American Garden
The myrtle orange (citr9s SINE"
sis mwtitolia )is very sparlngly pr"
pacaled by Florida narserymen;
and seldom found in any consider
able quantity even III our largest
groves. In The City Of New Or
leans, however, and at several
places on Mississippi Sound it Is
much prized, and planted Tor both
use and ornament. The tree is OF
medium siZe-seldom attaining the
height and expalse of the more
common sweet or soHr oFahge--but
hen highly cultivated and well
cared for has no superior III beauty
and attractiveness, even IN The
beautiful citrus family.
II is of rather dwarfish bablt,
with small, very compact, ovate,
sharp pointed leaves, and small,
round Irnit, of somewhat austere
and acId flavor. If highly culllya-
ted il is often in flower and fruit
at the same time, ornament to our
garden and grounds. 1t is said to
be employed by the Chinese gar.
deners, who thoroughly understand
the art OF dwarling, as an edgIng
OF flower beds, in the same manner
as The dwarf box is used IN Europe
and America.
The myrtle orange, | repeat, re-
ouires high culture, which II amply
repays by great proluslon of flow
ers and fruit, the latter often crowd
inc together on the branches IN al
most solid cluster and masses. 1t
has no value as an edible fruit III
its raw or natural state; but when
properly preserved, produces a
conserve or sweetmeat of almost
uneduaIed deIicacy and flavor.
/ Tie following recipe to prepare
this most delightful dish was lurn
ished the writer by Mississippi
lady, then residing on The Gull
Coast of her native State: Pare
the orange with a sharp, Tim
bladed knife, not deep enough TO
cut or break ln5 tllh MHitC ShI',

the thick outer sklr, laaving the
thin white skin very smooth. Soak
twelve hours in pure, fresh, soft
water, changing The water three
times. At he end OF the twelve
hours, or a little longer, If conven-
lent, put the oranges whole in hot
water and boil gently until you
can pierce with n straw easily. Now
have ready your clear syrup, boil.
ing hot and previously clarified
with the white Of an egg; drop the
whole oranges in and boil unit
they become translucent. Aftel
removing the oranges the syrul
may need boiling down somewhat
if not thick enough. When OF pro
per consistency pour it. over The
oranges in glass or other jar, sea
up and put away as usual. The
whole orange should be boiled a.

divided with Il spoon, and The sy
ruu made quite thick and rich.

The late Judge Walker, of AUr0-
ra, Ind, was, it is SAID, a personili-
cation of pOmposity. He was proud
of himself. his family, and of all his
possessions. Illustrative of this
trait of character a story is told OF
the Judge. Shortly before his
death he huilt splendid mansion
on The high hill back of Aurora.
Judge Walker was insubOrdinaIely
proud OF tins house, which could
be seen for miles up and down the
river. One day lie was returning
home by steamer from Cinelfl9ali.
Judge Walker no sooner caught
sight of his residence than his
whole attention was fixed upon IT.
He wondered if every one else ap-
preciated The beauty and striking
location of The house. Finally he
walked up TO stranger and said {:
IL beg yOnr pardon, but-ah--can
YOU tell me who is the owner of
I ihai-ah-palatIal and beautiful

VtiRAu VA INV VANoA OSN~~@-
Mr.. w. S Howard, who was tor
three Years attached 10 U. s. Coast
Survey steamer Blake, gave the
other day to the Philadelphia In
quirer most interesting statement
of his personal observation OF the
great ocean phenomenon, the Gull
Stream, the immediate physical
causes of which, as to origin, course
and volume is moi definitely known.
AT least, there Is not aniire agree
ment of opinion. A good deal has
been written on the subject, and
everything is read with interest
We find Mr., Towards views plau-
sible and reasonable SO far as they
relate to the origin OF The greai
current:
Formerly it was believed that
the gulf stream was simply The
continuation of the Mississippi
river, the immense volume OF wa
ter flowing out of which cleaved
its way through old ocean, and pre-
serving lis own distinctive charac;-
terislics as to temperature and col,
or, finally was lost and assimllateu
bv the waters of the frozen north
err seas. Others held to the opln'
ion that the gulf stream Was form
ed and controlled by the trade
winds. -.
"Our observations and inyesli'
cations furnished us with conclu
sive proof that neither OF these
ellen ents has anything TO do VIII
lii. One curious fact was establish
ed. however. We found that the
moon affected the gulf stream and
that The current was controlled alb
soIulely and arbitrarily by tha'
