Bro. Chew, of the West Jersey Press, in
repripting an editorial from our last weeks
issue, takes it for granted that the article
In question was written by Bro. Fogg, but
gives the credit of it to some other Woods
town paper thar the MONITOR. We car
look over the BRO. Fogg" part Of it,
neighbor, although he has done no work on
our paper for nearly a year, but we must
protest against being called out OF oui
name. Heaven knows we don't want to
shoulder the editorial progeny OF the con
Germ up the street, and we don't care te
have those Of the MONITOR ascribed to that
source.

one which Representative Peters, Of Kan

for a fair at Chicago, or elsewhere, and
calls attention to the appropriations for

Peter Farley was our companion in youth,
at least one of them. Others were Robin.
son Crusoe, Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress,
The Pirates, Merrill and his Robbers,
History of the Sea, and Others, and so when
we read the other day of the genial old u.
thor and his almost unknown grave, some
thing like a mist came over our eyes. The
following is the story:
The parents of our Young readers remem.
Der peter Parley's Magazine" and Rob
ert Merry's Museum" that succeeded it,
which was finally absorbed in the YOUTHS
C0mpdni0n. The genial old author OF
these once popular publications, once the
delight of thousands Of children, now
sleeps without a monument, save in the
| good name and the loved and useful record
he left to the world.
His grave lies almost unmarked on the
Connecticut hillside. Onee, while he was
travelling in the West, a wealthy lady, at
a festival in St. Louis given in his honor.
complimented him as Il beuefactor of his
race, and promised to erect a onume 10
his memory. That memorial has never
been built. The good mans monument is
in the loving hearts that, forty years ago,
were his delighted readers and pupils.
1t is we'll to remind the young of the
| present day where his ashes rest. At a
very short distance from the Goodrich
Place" at ~Southberly, Conn, is a rural
graveyard. Here and there, scattered in
amongst the long grass, are mounds,
where lie buried the for gotten dead. Now
and then, some modern shaft tells of those
lately mourned, and once in awhile some
fine monument attracts the visitors eye.
Within the Enclosure is a small plot,
fenced in with stern simplicity. Two
costly but plain slabs of marble stand
within. On one is a name and two dates,
and the emblem is an open book with tw O
or three dog-eared leaves, There lies
"Peter Farley" World-known and
world-loved, how few can tell where are
shrined his mortal remains! Yet This was
his choice. With the modesty of great
minds, lie shrank from praise or publicity;
and unsung, though not unhonored, he
lies in a country graveyard.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Produce for Exhibit Sent to California
on Wheels-Its Travels.

The secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce has received letter from S. T.
Hubbard, Jr., the secretary of the New
York Cotton Exchange, asking the
chamber to pass resolutions opposing
the Butterworth bill. This is measure
now pending before Congress, which
makes operations in futures a misde-
meanor. The letter sets forth the idea
that the bill will be injurious to the
farmers of the country.
A consignment of California produce
for the California on Wheels was ship
ped from the chamber yesterday. 1t
comprised a box of oranges, box of
lemons and box of vegetables. When
California on Wheels first started out it
was estimated that about one million
people would visit the display in the
course of it's itinerary. 1t has gone only
as far as Iowa, and up to the
middle OF this month, about one-third OF
the route being covered, 537 900 have
visited the cars. 1t is expected that
when the expedition reaches New Eng
land it will attract larger attendance
than in the Middle West, as the large
number of excursion parties which, have
recently gone out from that section to
California will serve to make this State
better known there. 1t is now esti-
mated by the managers of the expedi-
ton that nearly two million people will
visit the cars in the course of the trip.
The donations to the permanent ex-
hibit of the chamber yesterday were as
follows: Strawberries from James Dun
can, Harry Robinson and Mr.. Higgins,
all of Gardena; a 'dish-cloth plant"
from Mrs. j. E. Johnson, of Los An
geles; oats, wheat and barley from J. S.
Isbell, of Rivera. Flowers were sent by
Mrs. Joseph Ling, Mrs. r. X. McCreery
and Mrs. Mckenzie, of this city, and j.
S. Isbell, of Rivera.
Among the visitors yesterday in the
exhibit hall was George H. Colgrove,
Jr., of the st. Paul Pioneer Press.

THE CABLE ROADS.
A Peculiar Situation Which No One
Appears to Comprehend.

Appears TO Comprenenu.
The Los Angeles cable railways affairs
are unusually full of rumors in these
days. A HERALD reporter was yesterday
informed by prominent stockholder of
the company that Mr.. Robinson. the
present superintendent, rendered his
resignation at the meeting of the Board
of Directors, which took place last We'd
nesday. This resignation, it is stated,
was accepted, to take effect at the end
of sixty days. A leave-of-absence of
sixty days was thereupon voted Mr..
Robinson, so it is said, and his connec-
ton with the company ceased forthwith.
Resolutions commencing his work as
superintendent were placed upon the
minutes, and the board expressed regret
that he should have left the service of
the company.
This is the story told by several of the
stockholders. Mr.. Robinson is, how
ever, still in charge of the company's
affairs. He declines to make any state
ment in the matter, except to declare
that the above is not true. The board
will hold contirmatory meeting next
Wednesday, at which the matter is
likely to be settled in some shape. 1t is
generally understood that the disagree
ment in the company extends back of
the local management to the stockhold-
ers and officers in Chicago, that Mr..
Holmes is likely to resign from the pres
idency, and that extensive changes will
be made. 1t is said that gentleman by
the name of Mann will come out from
Chicago, to take the local management
of the road. The friends of Mr.. Robin
son deny this, and say that when the
final settlement is reached he will re-
main in his present position.

The Last of Evangeline at the
Grand.

The most noticeable feature in the
production of Evangeline at the Grand
these last nights is the burlesque of
Little Lord Fauntleroy," by George X.
Fortesque. He is made up to kill, and
has song to suit, which evokes un-
limited recalls from the audience. 1t is
really the funniest thing Fortesque does.

the season will close tonight.
Next Week.

next week, when the Bostonians will ap-
pear in grand season of opera. The

show:
