A synonym for ''knight" is ''chevalier"
that comes from The French "cheval," a
horse. because the chevalier rode on horse
back; those who titled the ground were
called villains, and they walked
stubbed around on foot-ani were called
'clodhoppers, and all sorts of things; and
so the knights thought themselves Of great
account, because they could gallop off to
the wars on horseback; war was the aristo-
cratic profession, and labor was something
very low down. But the good Book pre-
diets the time when men shall beat their
swords into plowshares and their spears
into pruning-hooks." In these latter days,
the world 'Enight" has been united with
labor" and thus has been formed the
right rclationship-the true knight, the
true chevalier, the true gentleman, is the
one " no works, aud not the one Tho goes
off fighting and killing people, and dew
astating the world. We have come to a
better civilization, and something Of worth
has been lone for the country in giving il
the idea of the 'knight" as part and parcel
of the 'labor," bringing those two words
which have been opposites, into one
thought, and proving that the iaboring
man can be a true gentleman, in all that
goes to make up the beautiful significance
Of that word.
Many and urgent are the questions that
the working men and women Of to day
must help to decide. But whatever may
be said OF methods in general, and of spec
ial methods, as strikes, in particular, as a
temperance woman, | am confident that
the best strike is to strike against the
saloon, and then to strike against all pol
iticians and parties that do wrong to the
w%orkiugmen. Those are the two strikes
that pay.
There are enough saloons in America, if
they were set in a row, aud one shonld go

That's hat au exchange says and it's
Just as we expected. There are some men
living at this time whom nothing would so
become as to join a coffin club and pay III
cents per week as a burial fund. If the
young men should join the order early in
life and keep the 10-cent payment up for a
score of years or so, they might accumulate
enough to buy a coffin lid at the present
steep prices charged, while a fairly rich

We herewith present a set of resolutions
which will not presumably be rushed
through the present Legislature:
Resolced, That it shall be the duty of all
Railroad Companies in the State OF New
Jersey, to place at all r. r. crossings. a
wooden tablet not less than five feet in
height by two feet in width, on which shall
be inscribed in legible black letters, on
white background, a plain table of the
time the trains pass this crossing by night
and by day.
ResoEoed, That these tablets shall be
placed within one quarter of a mile of each
crossing, Oh both sides, and kept in good
repair.
Res0lced, That a forfeiture to comply
with the above conditions will subject the
Company so offending to all penalties made
and provided by the statutes for like of
fences.
Resolced, That this provision go into
effect Immediately.
MEM: The above bill may stand a pretty
good chance for passage if some fool from
Hudson county don't saddle it with a rider,
providing that the State furnishes each
wagner crossing railroad tracks with a
Waterbury watch.

least of the old time French
boast-stylc or quality-isn't

of finish, a spark behind in orig

maybe you'll say not.

A remarkable feature Of the Leconey
trial was the high character ofthc principals
in the case. Leconey, the defendant, had
the word of a half hundred, moro or less,
witnesses, chiefly n%eighbors and relatives,
to prove that SO far as his reputation is
concerned, it is not only of the yard-wide,
Atwood style, but almost angelic, while
the negro Murray, chief witness for the
State, who was believed to be out at the
elbows in the way of character, brought
up the Sussex county legion to prove that
he not only had plenty of it, but lots to
spare.
