New Jersey Racing.

The opening days of the New Jer-
sey racing season are now recorded,
and the thoroughbreds have settled
down to work. For the first two days
the sport was quite mediocre, but Fri
day witnessed capital contests at the
Dryers track, and today's programme
is a superb one, a dozen or more OF
the very best horses in training being
among the many stakes. AT Clifton
the sport has not been as good, and
not nearly SO well patronized. the
crowds at Elizabeth being large each
day. The railroads transporting the
people to and from the tracks are
largely responsible for this state OF
affairs, the service to North Elizabeth
being perfect and to Clifton poor.
The moral, therefore, is plain. If you
want to run a race track successfully
you must interest the railroad mag.
mates in the venture.

Avn undesirable Endowment.

A delicate constitution is a most undesirable
endowment. Yet it is preferable to certain
hereditary taints accompanied by q robust

be fortified by ildicious tonic medication. 1t is
a more difficult matter to eradicate a scrofulous
or c~onsumptive habit. There is, nevertheless, a
medicine which has proven itself in countless

suffer, or cures weakness of the back and lumbar

a Historie lslnnder.

10 the Editor Of the jersey Citg Neps.;-
The EUclltng JotWnal, OF Wednesday,
has an editorial referring to the recent
exhuming of Lord Howe's coffin and
bones at Ticonderoga. There is a mistake
somewhere, or else there must have been
two Lord Howes who fell in the skirmish
at Ticonderoga, in July, 175S.
Losing, in his history of the United
States, in speaking Of Lord Howe's death,
says
aHe was only thirty-four years of age
when he fell. The Legislature of Massa-
chusetts BAY appropriated 81, $50 for a
monument to his memory in Westmin-
ster Abbey.
His remains were conveyed to Albany
by Captain (afterward GeneraD Philip
Schuyler and there placed in a vault be-
longing to the family of that officer. They
were afterward removed to a place under
the chancel of St. Peters Church on State
street, Albany, where they remain.
At the time of their removal it was
found that Lord Howe's hair, which was
very short when he was killed, had grown
several inches, and exhibited beautiful,
smooth and glossy locks.

The sauirming Griggs.

The wretched Griggs wriths under
the lash Of Allan McDermott's sar-
casm. He rushes in print into
plain public view, and there he
wriggles and squirms, and generally
makes an exhibition of himself in the
most unpleasing and unmanly fashion.
He has written a long rambling
paper, purporting to be a reply to
Allan McDermott's luminous letter to
him. If it were instructive, we would
gladly print it; but it is not even
amusing, and the Republican papers
are dismissing it with a paragraph or
SO, for the Wost part. The fact is,
poor Griggs has gone SO far that even
his own party dares not follow him,
and he is now frantically raving in
efforts to stir up such bitterness as
might again bring him into tune with
it.
He propounds certain questions at
the end Of his letter which are marked
by that baleful sophistical ingenuity
which paid advocates so often resort
to in hopeless cases for the purpose
of befogging the. real issue. But in
this case the answers are too plain to
leave any room for deception. We re-
print two or three sentences that our

Little Nails a Lie.

Another lie was nailed last night by
the public appearance of Stafford H.
Little upon the am platform with
Governor Albeit at Trenton. 1t
is not claimed that personally Stat
ford Loves Leon; but he is q Demo-
crat, and not a traitor to the party,
and his public demonstration of 10y
atty is q scathing rebuke to the An
anias Republican press which would
fain have had the public believe that
Democratic leaders would subordinate
their duty and the good of the State
to their individual feelings.
First came the lie about Senator
Mcpherson, a peculiarly atrocious
one, for the Senator and the ex-
Governor, though strenuous rivals
have never been personal or politica
enemies. This infamous invention
the Senator has trampled under foot
at a dozen public gatherings. Now
Mr.. Little delnolishes a falsehood
hardly less wicked.
A campaign of mendacity always
sets against the side which initiates it.
One by the abominable ISLANDERS
OF Republican speakers and editors
recoil upon themselves, and it looks
now, to speak Theoretically, as if the
only Republicans to come out of the
campaign with decency would be
those who never went into it.

Hoarded Eever Germs.

In 1916 a boy of eight years, the
brother of the narrator's wife, was
taken down with scarlet fever and
died. One of the principal amuse-
ments of his illness had been looking
over a large picture book. After his
death this, with several other useful
playthings, was packed away in a
trunk. Twenty-six years later, in
1872, the sister-in-law of the editor
took this trunk with her on a
Journey which she made to England,
where he was then residing. The
trunk was opened the second day
after it's arrival and the picture book
was taken out and presented to the
editors t~wo-year-old son. During the
next fortnight the little fellow was at-
tackled by scarlet fever. 1t was a
wonder to the doctors who were
called in consultation, how the dis
ease had been contracted, as there
had been no scarlet fever in the town
for years. At last it occurred to the
editor that the picture book might
have transmitted the disease, and the
medical men in attendance, on being
told the facts connected with it,
agreed that it had retained the poison
for twenty-six years, and commune
Gated it to the child.-Boston Post.

hole through the slat, board and all,
SO that it will come in the middle of
the slat. first laying the smooth faces
together so that the holes will meet.
Procure two bolts which will work
easily into the holes, and the press is
complete. If you car get a black
smith to make some with handles on
freely running burrs they will be the
best. Blotting paper is the best
to absorb moisture, but If 1T be
not convenient newspaper will do.
Place four thicknesses of newspaper
next the under board, then place
your specimen between two thick
nesses. Place it on the four sheets,
then another four. and Sc on, as many
as you like. Change the absorbing
papers as often as once in forty-eight
hours. Do not remove the specimen
from between the two sheets until 1T
will cleave off of itself. Better to let
it remain until you are ready to
mount it. Specimens should be kept
under light pressure after they are
dry. About one hundred and
seventy-five pounds is necessary to
press. House plants and flowers VIII
retain their natural color much better
than others. If the plant is wilted
when put in to press it will invariably
turn black.7SprinQfeld Homestead.

A New Amateur Agony.

Even in their giddy moments the
ladies who live within the circle of
intellectual influence of Boston dis
play an elevation of nature which
mere flesh and blood women do not
attain in their most earnest moments.
The Frolic Club of Concord has held
high jinks, we are told by a morning
paper, and the frisky form which
their diversions took was the perform
ance of a Greek play.
This is a wholly new departure in
social indulgence, and there is no tell
ing whittier it may lead the woman
hood of the country. The vagaries of
the exotic drama are limitless. There
is on the one hand the Chinese history
play which lasts a year or two, with
occasional E7ltr' actes for sleep and
meals, and on the other, there is the
Wagnerian musik-drama which,
though it only lasts some six or eight
hours, concentrates into that brief
term the horrors of a life time.
How the Greek play compared with
these we are not prepared to say, but
we shudder to think of the re-
suits that may follow an anna
teur dalliance with the fore
shortened seconds and dimin-
ished seventies, the sentiment
motifs, and the broken chords
of the modern German school.
There is only one %redeeming feature
to the business-and here we cannot
sufficiently commend the self denial
of the frolicsome young ladies-it is
that performances of the Concord
school are to be presented before
ladies only.
