PIDCOCK's GREAT A R
1t Is Near White House and Includes
1000 Cultivated Acres.

1t Is Near White House and Includes
1000 Cultivated Acres.
The biggest and best farm in all
New Jersey is that of James N. Pid-
cock, not far from White House, a
small but thriving village in Hunter
don county. just think of it, the
king of 1000 acres of fertile fields
ripening to a plentiful harvest, with
100, 600 peach trees in full bearing, and
700 dairy cows. The grange lies Just
south of the Central Railroad of New
JerseE,asays our special correspondent,
in as beautiful q section of country as
ever gladdened Gods great world.
Behind it, in all the grandeur of its
rocky heights, rises Pickles Mountain
like a sentinel guarding the great
natural garden of Northern New Jer-
sey, while dimmed by distance into an
everlasting blue stretches the line of
hills that shut out from the world at
large the Pidcock plantation, which
lies in the great bowl formed by the
surrounding elevations. From Pickles
Mountain the farm rolls on and on in
waves of green and gold.
Here the emerald OF a thousand acres
of waving corn, while just beyond is a
rich, yellow sea of ripening grain, the
wind-blown pillows of which roll OH
and away for perhaps another thous-
and acres. Then comes the stubble of
already garnered harvests, where the
quail blithely whistles to its little ones
and the blackbirds MARBLE the live
long day. Beyond this stretches q
long, dark plain, looking strangely
like a blasted heath from the noun
tain side, but which in reality is but
the stubble left by the cutting of a
second crop of grass that waved in its
rank luxuriance almost to the waist.
and thus these fertile fields, indebted
by the glistening white cots of the
humble laborer, stretch on and on al
most to the horizons rim.
The boss farmer is a man remark
able in more things than his landed
possessions. God was good to James
N. Pidcoek when he made him with
such a sturdy frame and such an
evenly balanced mind. He stands of
more than medium height and his
face adorned with a closely cropped
full beard, shines with bright intelli-
gence, while his eyes beam with
native shrewdness. Some people
thinks he looks like the hero of Apo
mattox. But | don't. The ex-Con-
gresham drives over his farm and
directs his laborers, all of whom es-
TEEN him, every. day. Before that
time he has been to the stock yards
in Jersey City buying or selling thou
sands of sheep and lambs daily.
Then he hastens back to White
House, in which village he lives com
fortably, to spend the balance of the
day in the society of his charming
wife and lovely daughter. Besides
his possessions in Jersey, Farmer Pid-
cock owns large tracts of timber land
in Georgia, where his nine sawmills
are daily rendering thousands of trees
into good lumber. = As6ery Park

international SANITARY Reform.

SANITARY fSeIOrIn'
Our London cable despatch printed
in another column, tells of q proposal
made by the United States to all the
powers that places which are motor
ious as plague centres should be forci-
bly, cleansed and kept clean through
the agency of an international sani-
tary commission.
The plan is probably Utopian in it's
full comprehension, but it contains a
germ of practical wisdom. Doubtless
In International commission to ex-
anime dangerous towns and cities and
publish international reports regard
Ing them would have valuable iniu-
ence.
Compulsion, of course, cannot be
applied. That is out of the question;
bnt the very forces OF national pride
and vanity which force would offend,
may be stimulated by moral infiu-
ences to the end that those places
which are most offensive may under
take reform themselves, and thus
work benefit to themselves and the
| rest of the world.

MONDAY, AUGUST II. 1889.
This paper Is Democratic N principles
and Is Independent In its views ON all
local questions.
Good Reading.

One comes across odd things In print
occasionally, and among the oldest
we have seen in some time is a declar-
ton of principles by a young Harvard
student ON the subject OF reading.
This youth Of lofty mind decides thai
in his brief life he cannot afford to
read Roe, Haggard, James, Swim
burne, Harte, Morris and Rosetti. He
considers that existence is brief enough
for devotion to Homer, Virgil, Dante,
Goethe, Hugo, Shakespeare, Plato,
Kant, Bacon and Spencer.
The young man is a fair example of
a kind Of intellectual buihptiousness,
which is common enough among col
lege boys, blue-stockings, and Ger
man atheists, and it bears about the
same relation to mental life, that the
limitation of diet to beef and bread
does to the physical.
While we would hesitate to classify
Virgil and Hugo with the other great
masters named, we stand at least in
line with our young professor in adj
miration for the great leading
geniuses of the world; but we can
imagine nothing more unwholesome
than a course of reading which
would exclude all lighter brain
FOOD. That Bret Harte and
Rosetti are absolutely necessary
to the cultured mind of to-
day appears to US so certain that we
wonder at seeing even the naughty
undergraduate dispute it. But we
think besides that Haggard, James,
Morris, Swinburne and a host of poets
and fctionists of far less note than
these contribute important shares to
the composition OF a well balanced
mind. 1t is even a question whether
there is not utility in a certain
amount Of study of the literature
pernicious as it is--of the Laura
Daintry, Laura Jane Libbey and
Edgar Saltus school.
Rejecting as they do an aspect of
the age we live in and a phase of the
human mind-even though it be not
a pleasant one-it seems to us that the
real student will not pass them by.
Perhaps the most offensive thing in
the world is intellectual coxcombry,
and the most mistaken impulse is that
which passes by anything in print as
beneath attention. 1t is hardly too
much to say that profit may be gained
from q dime novel, or an advertising
circular, or a copy of the Epeniag
Journal, if one only knows enough to
extract kernel of idea from the husk
of words.

Sowing and Reaping.
If thou wouldst reap in harvest time
A fruitage rare,
Thou must the toilful sowing time
With patience bear.
Thou must be careful that good seed
Fine fruitful soil,
Lest weeds and thorns instead of grain
Reward thy toll.
Youth is the seed time; earnestly
In golden days
Prepare thy fields; scatter thy seed
In goodly ways.
And If in faith thy seed be sown,
When age shall come
With garnered sheaves, thou then shalt share
The harvest home.
Seed time and harvest time quickly pass;
Mems plans oft fall;
God gives the incraase-let His love
Ger all prevail:
Let Him be first in all thy thoughts
And al thy PLANS
For sowing times and reaping times
Are Ia His hands.

healthy children, and their proper
education, constitute the true solution
of the labor question, and indeed OF
all the economic and social questions
of the age. In our day we are n
probably will be able to deal with
these great subjects only in a tenn
porary, hand to mouth fashion.
We are beset by hereditary in
fiuences, and by the accumula7
ton of centuries of custom and
tradition, and it is chiefly through the
development and improvement OF the
race by gradual alienation of its sur
roundings, and by careful evolution
of its mental powers, that we may
hope to secure, either for rich or poor,
workers or men of leisure, the full de-
gree of happiness to which they are
entitled, or of which their several
spheres are capable.
Our satisfaction in this age is the
hope that our efforts will bear fruit in
futurity, and our best policy is one
which will help-the mental evolution
of men by improving the physical con
ditions of the race.
