NORTH HUDSON NOTES.

The twelfth anniversary of st. Johns
Lutheran Sunday School, Union Hill,
was held last evening, and proved to be
an suspicious event. The four hundred
children of the school combined with the
church choir and furnished an interest
ing musical programme, interspersed
with appropriate recltations. The Rev.
DR.. G. e. Berkemeyer and Mr.. r. r.
Green delivered addresses, and Mr.. E.
Schoppe, the secretary, gave a detailed
history Of the formation and subsequent
growth Of the organization.
The school commenced with q roll of
sixty-seven members, and now boasts of
a rail- of 500 teachers and scholars. Miss
Annie Boeckell's class Was presented with
a handsome banner by the pastor for be-
ing the largest contributors to the jubilee
fund.
The Sunday school attached to ST.
Johns Lutheran Church, Union Hill, last
evening sent SIS to the Watberg Orphan
Farm at Mount Vernon, N. Y.
The West Hoboken police, under Chief
Ridgeway, raided a disorderly house on
Dubois street early Sunday morning and
captured several OF the inmates. All
that Recorder Reinhardt did was to i'm
pose light fines. which were readily paid,
and it y probable that the midnight
orgies will be repeated.

Our Bumptious Grand Jury.

H.
We cannot see that its resolutions,
adopted yesterday, improve the posi-
ton Of our bumptious Grand Jury
in the least. Indeed, it seems to us
they place it in a hopelessly bad posi-
ton, and render it almost imperative
upon Judge Lippincott to vindicate
the dignity Of the Court by Furnishing
the members.
Previous to the adoption of these
resolutions it was impossible to state
with confidence the motives of the
jurymen. We all had our suspicious
ttha hey were angry and wanted to
discipline the Judge; but we could
not be quite sure. It was open to
them to plead that they thought the
>Jwdge had valuable information
which would enable them to find in
dictments. That would have been
stupid, of course, but it would not
have been insolent or criminal.
But now, in their resolutions, the
Grand Jurors boldly proclaim that
they summoned the Judge, because
he dared in his judicial capacity, sit
ting on the bench and administering
the law to give utterance to remarks
(which remarksn-we quote the jury's
own language-"were subject to an
Interpretation rejecting upon the
official and personal integrity of the
Grand jury
In other words, the personal and
official vanity of these fine gentlemen
was wounded. and they determined
to have the Judge before them and
leach him a lesson.
We rather think that for cool inso-
lence this beats the record.
But it is apparent that the Grand
Jury Is not yet ~repentant, does not
yet realize the enormity of its CON
duct. 1t simply condescends to graz
ciously forgive the Judge because he
didn't mean any HARM
Judge Lippincott ought to turn
them over to Jailer Birdsall's hospita-
bic care. A day or two of ~seclusion
might bring them to a better frame of
mind.
The more we see of the S~exennial
League plan, the worse we think of
it. Its friends speak in another
column today. They have full swing,
but they give no Ineligible explana-
ton as to how the promises they make
can be realized.
OUR only competitor in q long
special article a day or two ago on the
new County Insane Asylum fell into
its customary succession OF blunders.
It spoke, for instance, of $3.50, 900 as
the amount of money to be spent. This
is an error. Mr.. MuIlone had the bill
amended reducing the sum to $780,
900. The original bill required that
no part of the money should be spent
on a site, and it gave the F~reeholders
absolute control of the work. 1t
looked as If a big building job was
the object in view. Mr.. Null
lone very properly had the
bill SO amended that a site
in q healthier locality than Snake
Hill may be purchased. The work,
also, is to be supervised by an arcni-
tect appointed by the Circuit Court,
and required to report to the
Court from time to time. He is to APP
prove all plans and contracts, and
work is only to be paid for on his GER
tificate Of acceptance. The Journal
plainly knows very little about the
bill. As it stands, it seems to provide
for O good piece Of work done on hon
est terms.

An Ohio Revenue Scheme.

Representative Thompson, of Ohio,
has received a letter from one of his
constituents, who fiatters himself upon
the discovery of what he calls the 'boss"
scheme for increasing the revenue. He
contends that many of the "four hun
dredn and blue bloods of our country
are caused to suffer great privations and
Inconvenience in crossing seas and
travelling in strange and foreign lands
in search of an article which, under or
present Constitution, America is pro-
hibited from manufacturing. This
eagerly sought for-prize is "title OF
honor" which our fond papas are SC
anxious to have adorn their family
name. This, our rising tariff man says
should not be, and he, therefore, sug.
| lgests that resolution be offered in Con.
gress to strike out clause 8, section 3, ol
Article of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and substitute one in it,
place one which shall give to Congress
the power to grant by sale any title
from American Princess down tt
American Lady. He has also added 6
schedule of prices, which are as follows
American Princess, $1,000, 900; Ameri
can Duchess, $1,OO0,OO0; American
Countess, $5OO,OOO; American Lady
$3.50. 900. This ardent Republican goe
on to state that "when this bill is passed
and the revenue has commenced to flow
in, as it surely will, Congress nigh
wipe out the tax on whisky, tobacco
and other necessities of life."

The Woes ofsPoor Editor.

Last Monday morning as we sat idly
toying with the solid gold trappings
that ornamented our luxuriously cush-
ioned editorial divan, the soft sunbeams
glinted thrsugh the great cathedral
windows Of our sanctum and reflected
with religious fervor from the tessela-
ted floor against the silvered corniee
and brightly FURNISHED chandeliers.
Like an old heart that is neither chilled
nor dead, the fire had died down to q
glow, while the massive twelve carat
diamond that bedecked our immaculate
shirt front cast achromatic prisms OF
unutterable glory over the original

A Terrible Fight.

We were waiting for a midnight
train which was behind time, and in
order to beguile what seemed to us the
slowly passing moments, we began
telling stories after the manner of old
travellers. One of our number had but
recently returned from Java, and to
him we were indebted for the following
account of a fight between a boa con-
strictor and a crocodile, and the de-
light which an ape manifested at the
sight:
One morning, said he, stood beside
small lake fed by the rils from the
mountains. The waters were clear as
crystal, and every thing could be seen
at the bottom. Close beside the pond
grew agigantic tree, its limbs overhang-
ing the water, and in the midst of its
thick foliage lay huge boa in an easy
coil, evidently enjoying morning nap.
Some distance above was a powerful
ape of the baboon species, leering race
of scamps always bent on mischief.
Now the ape, from his elevated position,
saw crocodile in the water, rising to
the top, exactly beneath the serpent.
Quick rs thought he jumped upon the
snake, which, taken unawares, fell
with splash into the very jaws of the
crocodile. The ape saved himself by
clinging to limb of the tree, while in
the water beneath him battle imme-
diately began. The serpent, grasped in
the middle by the crocodile, made the
water boil by his furious contortions.
Winding his folds around the body
of his antagonist, he speedily disabled
This two hinder legs, and, by his con-
fractions, made the scales and bones of
the monster crack.
The water was soon tinged with the
blood of the combatants, yet neither
seemed disposed to surrender. They
Irolled over and over, neither being able
to obtain a decided advantage. All
this time the cause of the mischief was
in state of highest ecstacy. He leaped
up and down the branches of the tree,
came several times close to the scene
of the fight, shook the limbs of the
tree, and 'frisked about in q state OF
the greatest excitement. In little
while change came over the scene.
The folds Of the snake began to relax
and though they were still trembling
along the back, the head fell lifeless
tinto the water.
A4hO OAOOOutAC eSfGO was 6uAlAV nAN
though only q portion of his body wa
visible, it soon became evident that he
too, was dead.
The mischevious monkey now perchet
himself on the lower limbs Of the tree
as close to the dead bodies as he, vel
could get, and amused himself for som,
minutes making all sorts of grimaces al
them. 1t seemed to me this was adding
insult to injury. and I resolved to taxi
part in the affair myself, and, taking |
large stone from the edge of the lake,
hurled it with all my strength at thu
grinning creature. He was entirel.
unprepared, and as it struck him on tn
side of the head hewas instantly tippet
over and fell upon the crocodile.
!. few bounds, however, brought him +
the shore, and, taking to the tree, b
speedily disappeared among the thicl
branches. Thinking him sufficient.
: punised, left the spot and resume'
my journey. KENNETH.

The appointed time had arrived and
Pierre called for his beloved. What
was his surprise to find that she had ta-
ken all the bandages from her eyes, and
he fancied vaguely that she gave start
as she turned toward him.
"Can she see?'' he thought, growing
pale with apprehension, and Martha
asked, what is the matter, dear? All,
know, you are astonished at my hav-
ing no bandage on my eyes. There is
no use in wearing 1t. I shall never see
again, the doctor can do nothing more
for me. And, Pierre, will not keep
you waiting any longer; II you wish, we
can be married"
In his delight, earlier imagined that
her eyes were smiling upon him, but
the next instant he laughed at his own
folly in supposing that she would speak
thus If she could see him.
The wedding took place four weeks
from that day.
When it was over, and the pair were
told to sign their names in the register,
Pierre took hold Of his blind brides
hand to lead her to the book, but she
turned away from him, saying gaily:
Let me alone, can find it by my
SELF"
Then, to his amazement, she went
straight to the desk and took up the pen,
"You are not blind" he whispered
"you can see my SEA"
"Oh, saw that a month ago." she
said smiling at his distress, and ther
she added softly, "Are you quite sure
