what He Would Have Said.

A certain lady in Paris gives periodical
dinners, at which assemble most of the
best known wits and literatl OF the day.
The rule of the mansion is that while
one person discourses no interruption
whatever a be permitted. 1t is said
that M. Ranan once attended one of
these dinners, and, being in excellent
vein, talked without a break during the
whole repast. Toward the end of the
dinner a guest was heard to commence a
sentence, but he was instantly silenced
by the hostess. After they had left the
table, however, she at once informed the
extinguished individual that, as NJ.
Renan had now finished his conversation,
she would gladly hear what he had to
say. The guest modestly declined; the
hostess insisted. 81 am certain it was
something of consequence" she said.
"Alas, madame he answered, sit was,
indeed; but now 1t is too late. I should
have liked q little more of that iced pud-
ding. "-SGn Francisco Argondut.

ABE HEWlTTS QUEER BUILDING.
Walls of Wire Net, Instead of Lath and
Plaster.

Walls of Wire Net, Instead of Lath and
Plaster.
A. S. Hewitt is INDUCING in a new de-
parture in the building of a house ON his
property at Ringwood. The new build
erected on the hill adjoining his trout
ponds. being between the Matching sta
ton and the public road. 1t is intended
as a residence for MI. George Waldron,
who has charge OF the fish. For some
time past some builders in New York
have adopted a new plan of putting the
plaster on walls. Very little lath is used;
in fact, none is necessary. As soon as the
walls of the house have been erected a
number of strips of wood or lath are
nailed on the inside. On this is fastened
q wire screen, with q mesh of about q
quarter of an inch. The whole is thus
covered by this netting, it being stretched
evenly and held in place by nails driven
into the small strips of wood or lath- In
this way the lath is kept about half an
inch from the wall. Then the plaster is
applied. 1t is forced through the meshes
of the net, and binding together on the
inside, between the wall and the net, no
amount of shaking or Earring will loosen
it. This method of plastering a house.
although more expensive than Lhe usual
way of using lath, is considered far SUI
perior. Mr.. Hewitt saw no reason why
this should not do fully as well for the
outside of a house, and so in the erection
of the one above referred to he has made
the outside walls of plaster held on by the
netting. The walls of the house accord
ingly consist of plaster and netting, the
wooden wall and then netting and plas-
ter. The outside plaster gives a chance

BIZ Cable to the United Press
LONDON, Oct. "a, 1ss9.-The subterran-
can river recently discovered in France
in the Miers district of the Department
of Lot, has now been traced a distance
of seven miles to q point beyond which
the three daring explorers who undertook
the task did not dare to venture, as the
river there takes an abrupt plunge into
the bowels of the earth to a depth impos-
sible to fathom.
1t too three days and nights to accom-
plish this journey of seven miles and re-
turn, the greater portion being done in a
folding BOAT made of saikcloth. Miers is
in the heart of q wild and mountainous
country in the deepest reeesses of which
caves and grottoes are found. some OF
which appear to have been the abode OF
our tr0glodyte ancestors.
The subterranean river was first dis
covered a month ago at the bottom of an
abyss known as the Pit of Paderoe, and
was hen traced a distance of two miles.
The whole seven miles SO Tar explored are
in utter darkness except at the point
where the river was discovered. 1t
abounds in cascades and winds through a
succession of grottos sparkling with stall
actites. Preparations are being made for
further explorations.

Queer Tory Tactics.
By Cable to the United Press.


DUBLIN, Oct. "a, 1SS9.-Prominent Eng
lishment who visit Ireland, either on
business or for pleasure complain that
they are constantly annoyed by the po-
lice, who persist in dogging their foot
steps and keep a close watch upon them
during the whole time spent in Ireland.
A well known gentlemen residing in
London, a prominent Liberal and close
friend of Mr.. Gladstone, became
50 exasperated by this treatment
while travelling in Donegal yesterday
that with the assistance of his groom he
soundly thrashed two constables who had
kept at their heels during the greater
part"of the day. The constables took
their thrashing very meekly. and made
no effort afterwards to arrest their as
sailants when they might easily have
done so. This is believed to be part of a
systematic plan to annoy all Englishmen
who travel about in Ireland with a view
of gathering information about the con-
ditiOn of the ~tenantry.

He would Be a Fenian Again.

LONDON, Oct. "a, 1sS9.-The Times Par
nell Commission resumed its sessions to-
day to hear arguments. Michael Davitt
read a speech from manuscript. In adj
dressing the Commission, he said, he wa
running directly contrary to popular
opinion in Ireland, which had unquali-
fiedly endorsed the action of his col
leagues in withdrawing from the case be
fore the Commission, but he was i'm
PEELED to defend the character of the Irish
peasantry, which had been wantonly and
gratuitously assaulted. Although he was
nc longer a fenian he said he would be-
come again if the conditions in Ire
land were similar to those of twenty
five years go.
The aims of the Fenians, however, had
beer partly fulfilled, and the Land
League, which was based upon the same
patriotic spirit that had actrtated the
Fenian organization, was fast securing
justice to Ireland. Unable to resist the
steady march of progress, Dublin Castle
would soon quietly submit to the fate of
the Irish Church.

CURRIE LAND VALUES.


Continuation Of h Testimony Before
Judge Knapp.
This morning the case of the appeal of
the Waverly and New York Railroad
Company against the Currle estate was
continued before Judge Knapp.
The jury yesterday, by order of the
Court, was given a good ride over the
property that has been condemned and Is
in litigation.
This morning the conclusion of the tes-
timony of Expert Harrison was given.
He was interrupted in his evidence at
almost every. question by Messrs. New
tate, on purely technical legal questions.
His valuation of the property was given
after much fighting between counsel.
Lawyer Newbold asked the witness a
large number of questions that tended to
show the increased value of
the property, and after this fact
was shown to the jury, Counsellor Vree-
denburgh, on behalf of the company, who
had constantly objected to the evidence.
succeeded in persuading Judge Knapp to
rule it all out.
During This argument Mr.. Newbold
offered to prove that two-thirds of the
water front of the city is In use and that
the Currie estate furnishes the best mode
to reach what is left, n for that reason
the valuation should be increased, and
that the land had been much sought for
by a number of companies.
Counsellor Vreedenburgh objected to
this and Judge Knapp sustained him by
saying that the Jury should not make any
special or exceptional valuation, n hen
the witness simply restated what he said
yesterday.
James r. Williams, q large owner of
real estate in this county, succeeded him
as a witness and testified that lots on
Avenue ID condemned by the Commits
sioners, were worth from $500 to $500 each
and the lots In the rear were worth $500.
They were valuable because they con-
tanned SO much good paving rock. The
case is yet on and will last probably two
DAYS more.

Prohibition STATE Convention.

The Prohibition voters of the State O
New Jersey in the various counties, are re-
quested to meet in their townships and
wards, aud choose delegates to their county
conventions. By a resolution of the State
Central Committee it was requested of you
that in your county conventions delegates
be chosen to a state convention to be held
in the Grand Opera House at AsbEry Park,
on Thursday, July 18th, at 8 O'Clock, p. M,
and continue two days. Said convention is
for the purpose of nominating a candidate
for governor to be supported at the ensu-
ing election, and for such other business as
may be brought before it. AT your county
conventions you will also choose three per-
sons to represent your county OF the State
Central Committee.
The basis of representation in the State
convention, will be one delegate for every
twenty votes or fractional part thereof,
cast for governor in 1886. The chairman
of each County Committee will promptly
attend to this matter, and it is requested
that your county conventions be held at
the earliest moment, and that a correct
list Of delegates, duly authenticated, be
mailed to the secretary, at Bound Brook,
N. j. This is very necessary as the con-
vention under the call will contain nearly a
thousand persons, and a complete list will
aid very materially the work ofthe conven-
ton. Signed,

hereditary influence.

Naturally, the discussion of alcoholic in
~luences upon the prenatal lives of child
rem has beea a most important part of the
recent Prohibition campaign. 1t does not
by any means require that either parent
must be a confirmed inebriate to account
for some cloud in the intellect, some bod.
lily deformity, under which the tender life
is heavily weighted, no matter how long
it has to live. This may have nothing
whatever to do with drink, as cause; and
vet even a brief interval Of intoxication, or
of gross indulgence in liquor, may register
its indelible stamp upon the mental or
physical conditions of a little child. But
this is not the only intemperance that at
fects the human race with far-off and long
continued consequences. Self-indulgence
in other forms, in uncomfortable anger,
c~ovetousness, or deceit, even thoagh not
an abiding habit IN either parent, may be
traced in the after lives of their offspring,
who as murderers, thieves, defaulters,
tricksters. liars, are regarded as almost
monsters, s~pringing from a fair, honest
race. The study of physical and mental
to which attention has been
invited to further the cause of prohibition
upon liquor selling. the study into that
education, which DR.. Holmes says begins
a hundred years before you are born,
would De most one-sided if it only took
into consideration the effects of liquor
drinking. The children of habitual tobac-
co chewers frequently are somewhat de-
fectiyc in speech, stammerers, incoherent
readers, partly inarticulate speakers. The
children of opium eaters may have a par
alysed will, and be unable, in any degree,
to resist strong temptation. Nor is the
evil account sent down entirely to be paid
by coming generations. Fathers and
M others frequently nave to realize that
nothing is more certain that when physi-
cal laws are broken, they themselves. as
we'll as their hapless descendants, have to
pay the bills. Retribution may await the
present delinquent in a future life, but
parents take the penalties in this, in all too
late acknowledges The study of pre-
natal influences owes much to the re-
searches of students Of temperance-but
all the ills that flesh is heir to do not dwell
in the beer glass or the whisky tumbleT.
Intemperance is a moral quality. as we'll as
a physical appetite for drink. For their
own peace and comfort in after life, youth
full parents do we'll now to study the i'm
mutable laws of descent. The average of
a family's character may be good, fair or
Indifferent, but when either a saint, a
scapegrace, or a determined sinner breaks
the line, the reason for that splendid or
thwarted nature may be, perhaps, also re-
called, after much pondering.-Philadet
phid Ledger.
