silly and Sillier.

The New Brunswick FREEDMAN in
the throes of one of it's silly fits got
off this choice absurdity:-
In Jersey City, where saloon keepers turn
over their money for licenses to the City Clerk,
every dollar is accounted for at the end of each
month, and the clerk is compelled to make
known his total receipts on demand of any tax
payer at any moment. The Jersey City govern
ment is now run on business principles and in
the interest of the people. The City Clerk is un-
der bonds for the honest and faithful perform
ance of his duty, and he is compelled to conform
to the law of his Office, or is unceremoniously
bounced. The corporate regulations obtain in
Jersey City, indulgent reader, and not in New
Brunswick.
The Ex-Rev. City Editor of our
only contemporary could not resist
the opportunity to do something fool
ish. He copied the whole chunk of
nonsense and headed it "a Compli-
ment to Jersey City"
Wonder what Mr.. Scott, after his
twenty years of honorable service,
thinks of it-and of Benson?

make every little stream navigable,
and England is trying to turn her in
terror cities into seaports, we permit
our canals to fill up, or foolishly give
them away to impecunions railroads
for roadbeds. Is it wise? Are
we safe in trusting all
our freight business to
railroad corporations? Today we can
if the need come. send gunboats in
land from the Delaware to New York
Bay. If we permit the railroads to
destroy the business of the canal be-
tween our s%hipyards and u navy
yards, we may be sure that in every
European war Office the fact of
folly is carefully noted for future
reference. Once Great Britain fought
a great battle to destroy the water
route that connects the port of New
York with the back door of New
England. Saratoga was fought to de
stroy a vital water route. Fortunately
the English generals who planned in
London thus to cut the country 1ntwo
failed, and yet today we are abandon
ing our canals and see our great inter
nal steam navigation system decay
without a thought OF the conse-
quences.
On the other hand-for there is a
brighter side to every picture-there is
a disposition among the travelling
public to demand larger, finer, and
safer boats everywhere. We are being
taught by English tourists who visit
US how to see our own country. We
may complacently talk of our limited
trains and all that. Every foreigner
who visits us asks first of all for our
steamboat routes, because our lake,
river and sound boats are known OF
all the world.

A Ghost Story as a New Item.

In the district of Kong Chiu a
Chinaman named Ho Sing had q wife
and child about five years OF age.
They went abroad to open a a r
penter's shop. Shortly afterward Ho
Sing got very i'll. He thought he was
going to die and called his wife and
child to him. He blessed them and
caught hold of the hands of his wife
and made her promise that after he
was gone she would not marry again,
but be virtuous and go back home to
take care of his mother and bring the
child up in the right way. His wife
solemnly promised to fulfil all that he
wished.
Shortly afterward he died, with his
hand holding those of his wife. After
the burial ceremony was over she took
her son home to Kong Chiu. When
she got home she told her mother-in-
law what her son had said. The old
lady said:-"Very well, you may do
what you like The young widow
went away to think over the matter.
At last she thought that she was very
young, and that she could not live
without a helpmate all her life. So
she went to her old mother-in-law and
told her that she must get married
again, because she was very poor and
could not support herself. Therefore,
in her opinion, it would be the best
for her to go and get married again.
The old lady gave her consent.
Shortly afterward there was a great
preparation for the marriage feast.
One night about twelve o'clock the
mother and daughter-in-law were
chatting about the coming marriage,
when the ghost of her husband
appeared before them. The old lady
could not see him, but heard what he
said. She tainted away, but his wife
saw him and heard him say this
You unfaithful woman, on my dying
bed you had solemnly sworn that you
would not marry again, and O you
are going to be married tomorrow.
Curses on her for daring to break your
oath. Therefore, you must die" He
killed her and went away. When the
old lady came to her senses again she
found that her daughter-in-law was a
corpse. The other would-be bride
groom was very sorry and greatly dis
appointed, because the young widow
was very pretty.

The Postage Stamp Craze.

1FOHV WV ~ 1N'h - OAF
Those who do not keep track of the
postage stamp collection craze can
hardly realize how the fad runs away
with a mans Judgment. AT a recent
sale of rare postage stamps in London
a single British guinea stamp of 1856
brought $3.50 and was considered
cheap at that price. Some Russian
stamps are so rare that they will com
mand almost any price, and attempts
are frequently made to forge them.
The great collection of Philippe Fer
rari, of Paris, contains a quarter of a
million of stamps and is thought to be
worth about a million dollars. Mr..
Philbrick sold his collection to NJ.
Ferrari for $50, 900, and Sir Daniel
Cooper, the well known Australian
collector, has sold his fine collection
to the same collector for $15, 900. The
collection of the late Duchess de
Galiera is said to have cost nearly
$500, 900, and the cost of the 5000 vol
umes in which it is contained was
about $65, 900. At the Paris mint
there is a remarkable collection, while
the Rothschild collection in Paris is
almost priceless in value. Rare
stamps sell at from 500 to 81, 900, and
the collectors keep a close watch on
all the sales throughout the world, in
order to secure the specimens they de
sire. Altogether the craze represents
a Fictitious value of millions of dol
lars.

Exorbitant Express Charges.

In Pennington many of the business
men are having goods shipped to them by
freight rather than submit to the exorbi-
tant charges recently inaugurated by the
way, they believe, to disarm and make
penitent the express trust or combina-
tion. The freight lines deliver all goods
at less than half the express rates, and al
most as quickly. A united and persistent
boycott of the express trust will, it is
hoped, have a salutary effect. The ex-
press trust, they hope, will ultimately re-
turn to original charges. Thirty-hve
cents for the delivery in Pennington of
ten-pound packages of printing material
is excessive by at least ten cents.
