A Brilliant Scene and a
Great Throng at Woods
Hall.

Two thousand invitations were issued
TO the first annual ball of the p. IA. ONeil
Association, and last night between four
and FIVE hundred persons accepted them
and assembled at Woods Hall on Barrow
street. The members of the association
certainly deserve credit for the tasteful
decorations of the hall, which H. A. B.
Fnke supplied by their order. Flags,
bunting, evergreens and flowers were in
p~rofusion in the ball room, and the Or
chestra, furnished by Prof. Beggs. was
nearly screened from view by exotics.
THE DECORATIONS
Against the walls and over their heads
was suspended a picture of Collector
O'Neill, over which. in gilt letters, were
the words "P. H. O'Neill Association"
At the other extremity of the bah room
and just over the stairway anoJher pic
ture of Alderman O'Neili hung, IN a silk
banner, from, the gallery. The banner
bore this inscription

There is very little of particular interest in the
organization Of the 1l4th Legislature which began
its history today. Hudson county captured the
organization of the House many weeks ago, and
nothing has since occurred to break the slate
made at t1e dictation of Leon Abbett. A pleas
ant rivalry existed between Senator'S Nevius and
CranEAr for the Presidency. but the members
settled upon a choice without machine dictation
ana with the best Of good feeling. -Fredonian.
The English language is a great in
situation. 1t is wonderful the way
you can paint things in words. When
all the Democracy unites to reward an
able and honest man, the boss has
spoken. When Mr.. Martin, of Essex,
makes his slate and puts his foot on
the necksof his colleagues, then every
thing is lovely. OF, counsel
Lib there ever was an absurd propo-
sition it is that which the Hoboken
Council has in contemplation for the
settlement of the suit against the
bondsmen Of Defaultef Mcmahon.
The deficiency was $60.0o0 or more.
OF all his sureties but one is good
for his bond, and the proposition he
makes is that if the suit be discontin-
ued he will pay the City the munif-
cent sum of $4,000. The friends of
another bondsman, who is not worth
anything, may be able to raise an adj
ditipnal Thousand dollars if the suit
be withdrawn.
It thus appears that Hoboken may
possibly get back six of her sixty
thousand stolen dollars that if this
compromise be agreed to the sureties
may buy their peace for ten per cent.
The city had better go on with her
/, suit. She cannot get much less than
that-out Oft.

DR.. E. w. Pyle entertained the New
Jersey Medical Club at his home on Ber-

fifteen members of the club and they
come from all parts of the State. An
essay was read by DR.. Pyle and the even
ing was spent in discussion and debate.
Supper was served by Morrow & Day.
Some of the guests were:-Dr. Seward, Of
Orange; DR.. Bailey, OF Elizabeth; DIR.

cred the moral tone of the whole
country. 1t was a crime against the
State and against public morals.
1t could hardly be that Benjamin
Harrison, tprofiting by the crime of
Dudley. should yet give him over to
the law for punishment. That would
be to make a tRitor of himself, to sac
riice his accomplice, and bag the
whole advantage ofthe crime. But this
is one of the terrible results of such
deeds as that of Dudley. They
compel the protection of the guilty by
those whose duty it is to punish them
thus eating deeper and deeper into
the structure of our government, as
the worm muItiplies and with ever
increasing rapidity honeycombs and
destroys the fabric where 1t has once
established itself.
Perhaps it is hard that where so
many are guilty, one man should be
made a scapegoat; but the majesty Of
the law must be vindicated some way.
Its immediate violation in this case is
directly due to the misconduct of
Attorney General Miller. He ought
to be impeached and deposed from
the office which he betrays.
OF course this measure of justice
cannot be looked for from the present
rabid partisan Congress. But doubt
less before Mr.. Miller's term expires
the Democracy will again have
control OF the House of Rep
resentatives, and unless Mr.. Mil
Ter does his duty meanwhile
a thing we have no expectation of-he
should be prosecuted with the utmost
rlgor in the interest of future genera
tions of American citizens.
MAYOR RANKIN, of Elizabeth, has
opened at his Office in the City Hall a
complaint book, and citizens having
grievances of any kind in any depart
ment of the city over which he has
jurisdiction, may make an entry OF
them. and he will give prompt atten-
ton thereto.
That plan may work in Elizabeth;
but we know of some cities where
there are SO many cranks and kickers
that all the volumes in the American
Encyclopedia would not hold their
complaints.

death because Hudson has surren-
dered to Middlesex the palm as the

H%ousemaids in Livery.

The custom of putting housemaids
into livery, which is common enough
in England, is beginning to be adop-
ted in New York. The costume or
uniform consists of a skirt of dark
livery cloth-blue, green or brown
with plain front and broad plaits at
the back; a waistcoat of the same
cloth, with fine crosswise lines of red
braid, and a coat cut away in front
and covering the hips. Metal livery
buttons are used on the coat and
~waistcoat. A small white cap, stiff
white collar and cuffs and a white
cravat complete the attire. A good
looking maid with a good figure
makes a natty appearance in such a
livery, and is particularly useful in
households where only women serv-
ants are employed to attend the door
and serve the meals. Where there is
a butler, she is we'll equipped to take
the place of second man."
AS a small minority makes up the
wealthy class everywhere, the Gus
toms and fashions that obtain in that
class are an endless source OF curiosity,
speculation and interest To 3 certain
extent there is no good reason why
this curiosity should not be gratified.
The rich art collector loses nothing OF
the jealousy guarded privacy of his
home life by sometimes throwing
open his gallery TO the public-that is
nothing which ought to cause him
any pain OF regret. No one need apol-
ogize for letting little light in upon
those who arr known as society PEG
pie. Let the doors of the closets
leave thedust in the haunted chamber
unstirred; the rest may be revealed
without offense .-New Orleans Picay-
atq1e.

antique Orlentat EmDfOlUer1eH.
The gem of a collection of antique
Chinese embroideries is an exquisite
robe bearing the imperial or FIVE
clawed dragon with the usual wave
border at the bottom; but the robe
itself is an intricate mass OF the finest
silk embroidery on a brown ground,
the blending of the colofs andthe pro-
portion of gold being far more perfect
than we are accustomed to in Chinese
embroideries, in which gorgeous eff
fects and masses of g~littering metal
are aimed at.
Another beautiful composition in
color is in a robe of gold embroidery
on a rich, gold colored satin, shot
with red, or rathermanufactured with
red at the back, which gives a zone to
the satin. With the metal work,
which is unusually fine, is a design in
blues and green's, cminently beautiful.
A japanese lady's robe, which finds
a place here, is exquisite of its kind,
and specially interesting. as showing
the different methods OF the two coun-
tries. This is on figured satin of old
gold tint, on which a de-
sign of wistaria has been
extracted, leaving it white; or it
may be that the pattern has been
printed in wax before the satin was
dyed, so as to produce the same eff
feet. The foliage is then painted in
with low toned green's, and the flow
ers on the upper portion of the robe
embroidered in silk; IA the whole of
the lower portion the flowers are left
white. Here and there slight indica-
tions OF a trellis in fine gold laid work
enriches the general effect without
making it heavy. Nothing more per-
feet than the eoloring or more grace
full than the design can be imagined.
Church Fair oyster Soup.
Take nine reasonable-sized oysters
not too large-to each five gallons of
water, and tie them up carefully in a
cloth. Ii the fair is to continue only
three days, cheese cloth will do; but if
it holds a week and a large attendance
is expected, it is better to use a good,
heavy quality of dnck, SO that the BIZ
valves shall not lose their entire flavor
the first few evenings. The most salts

HANGMAN'S HARVEST.
Exc cution OF Nevada Man aud wife
Other Notes.

Elko, Nevada Is In a state OF excite
ment and on juno Goth people from
the surrounding country were pouring
into that city to witness the execution
OF Josiah Potts and his wife Elizabeth
for the murder of Miles Fawoott In
January. 1883. Over sixteen women
had applied for permits to witness
the execution, but the sheriff refused
them all. The conduct OF Mrs. Potts
the last five days has been an alterua-
ton OF historical crying, screaming
and swearing at her husband. Owing
to an apprehension OF trouble on tho
part OF Mrs. Potts, tho officials kept
the hour OF the execution secret. On
the morning of the 10Th Mrs. Potts
attempted suicide by gashing her
wrist, but she was prevented from fur.
Their injuring herself by n yigilant
death watch. After the reading OF the
death warrants Mrs, Potts earnestly
calculated: al am innocent, and God
knows It," and her husband reiterated
the words on the scatfold. They bore
themselves with bravery unexpected
by those In attendance. After they
were bound Potts made several moro
efforts to clasp tho hand OF his wife
without accomplishing II. FINALLY u
touch on her wrist caused her to turn
her eyes towards his mute appeal Of
love and caused their lips TO meet for
one hriet moment They repeated
their assertion OF Innocence, and while
the Clergyman was saying, put your
trust in God, the trap was sprung and
all was soon over.
Fritz Dubois was hanged In the jail
yard Mt Quebec, on the same morning.
The crime for which no suffered was
the murder In February last OF his
wife, two children and mother-in-law,
