The FERooIoUs SHARK.
How 1t Differs from All Other Denizens
of tho Sea.

| How 1t Differs from All Other Denizens
of tho Sea.
That the animals of the sea occupy posi-
lions relatively similar to those on shore is
in no case better exemplifed than in the
largest of all flshes-the shark. In all its
genera and species, from the ferocious dog
fish up to the gigantic Rhinodon, wa see the
| true carnivera Of the sea. They are the
hons, tigers, jaguars and wild cats OF the
ocean world, differing in form and methods
of life, yet calling TO mind these animals in
all their habits. So can we compare themto
the rapacious birds. The great man-eater is
| the vulture; the dog-fish resembles the
| predatory hawk; while the large baslking
shark reminds us of the great condor, that,
though extremely powerful, often prefers
the smallest game, and that at secondhand.
The sharks, OF which about two hundred
and sixty species are known, differ greatly
from the other denizens of the sea, and are
literally without bones, the skeleton, II it
can be so called, being made up of cartil-
age. The center of the vertebral column is
only at times more or less ossitied, and the
dorsal cord (chorda d0rsalisl does not always
exist; notwithstanding this, the vertebr@
are generally distinctly indicated. The
parts Of the skull are not united by sutures,
as in other fishes. The gills resemble straps,
and vary in number from five TO seven in
the sharks and rays that are grouped to-
gether, forming the order Pla0iost0nldtd,
meaning transversemouthed.
The sharks have no air bladder. that is
such prominent feature In most fishes.
Their eggs, few in number, are often Pc
culiar in form, being inclosed in horny cap
sules, having four handle-like feelers or
tendrils that have the faculty of grasping
seaweed or other objects as soon as depos-
tied, exactly as does the advance tendrl OF
a grapevine, thus the egg is prevented
from washing ashore, and often they so re-
semble the surrounding weed as 10 find
protection IN the mimicry. In many species,
however, as the American dog-hsh, the
young are born alive.
In general appearance the shark is re-
pulsIve. The skin is rough and file-like,
being protected with minute or hardened
granules; the mouths generally placed be-
meath and armed with sometimes eight or
nine rows of sharp, serrated or saw edged
teeth, all except the first having the faculty
Of lying down, a reserve force that are only |
used as occasion requires, rising up so |
many hooks, to secure, hold and lacerate |
the struggling prey. They are found in all !
waters, from Arctic 10 equatorial, and, |
contrary to the general impression, in both |

The Declaration Of Independence assumes

The ancients thought they knew all about
the art of being happy, and have be-

subject; and although they were benighted
creatures, destitute of railroads, lightning
telegraphs, steam engines, gas and types,
it's Just possible that they may have I'M
derstood how to be jolly nearly as well as
we do.
Some of the ancients had very odd rec
ipes for curing "the blues" DR.. Sal
vianus, for example, advises s'boring the
skull with an instrument to let out the
fuliginous humors," while Gordonius cites

patient was much relieved by having his

ere spreadetb a wide, wide meadow,

There spreadeth wide, wide meadow,
Sunny and green and still,
A brooklet ripples through it
Above it rises NIL.
A hill that is dark with cedars,
And bright with sumach's glow;
And where an old road climbeth
Tall oaks and walnuts show.
Along the edge of the meadow
A wood its shadow throws,
And leaning branches culver
Above that fields repose.
And there, when willows whiten
As the winds Of heaven blow free,
In the fairy days of childhood
There bloomed flower for me.
1t lifted its face to heaven,
And when the sun shone high,
Its fringed lids it opened,
As blue as the autumn sky.
OF the wonder and the beauty
That in that blossom layi
Through long years / remember
That fair October day.
The splendor OF gold ana crimson
'Mong the cedars dark and still,
The sunshine warm on the meadow,
The purple haze on the hill.
And the gentian by the brookside
Through the tender light see,
With heavenly grace illumined-
The flower OF faith to me.
And feel the tuneful breathings
Each wandering breeze let fall
In the mystery all around us.
And the love that is over all.
But now an autumn cometh,
With its frosts and its glory crown,
But my spirit Eeeketh the meadow
Far from the dusty town.
And where the brooklet fioweth,
From every care beguiled,
look into those azure petals
With the eyes OF little child.
Of blessed are the memories
That naught can take away
The memories sweet and tender.
or childhood's happy dayl
And blessed are the promises
That in later years we read
AS they lie along our pathway
In the blossom and the seed.
So love that wide, wide meadow,
Where the winds of heaven blow free,
For there, in the hillside shadow,
The faith-hower bloomed for me.

The officers of the Fourth Regiment

with high regard for Colonel Barnard

besides. there is some tending and.
proving as to just how the nom
ination was swung over TO
Mr.. Perkins 1t will be remem
bered that Frank @. Cole and others
raised, in the Convention, the cues
ton whether Mr.. Perkins would ae=
cept. Then Mr.. John Reid positively
pledged his honor that Mr.. Perkins
would do so. From this the dele
gates, ard the public in general,
assumed that Mr.. Reid had conferred
with Mr.. Perkins and had proper
assurances from him.
Now, it appears, Mr.. Reid had no
such assurances. Mr. Perkins had no
intiInation of his probable nominal
ton, and only accepted it in compli-
ssace with urgent kilograms sent to
him in Ohio In private he explains
his lukewarmness on the ground of
the deceptive way the nomination
was forced upon him to suit some
body else's purposes
At any rate he is hardly in the race
in any serious sense. He consents to
be a figurehead, and he wants to get
through with the nuisance at the
least possible trouble and with the
least possible cost. Thus the Denoc-
racy has a practical walkover and
Mayor CIeveland's reelection may be
regarded as practically certain. The
Mayor is shrewd enough man
to profit by past mistakes, and
we think it more than likely
that he may hereafter utilize
by avoiding their repetition. those
which for time seriously ilnperiled
his ambitions. His ability even his
enemies cannot deny. and it he bends
his mind to the task and takes wise
counsels he is quite capable Of fur
nishing a good regime to Jersey City.
we indulge neither in promise nor
prophecy in hoping he will use his
talents efficiently to that end.
We repeat he is not the candidate of
our choice, but many Interior con-
sequences might beinvolved in Demo
cratic defeat in this election, that it
may be the whole future fortunes of
our national politics might be com
promised. II there were a refuge from
partisanship in good citizens moye-
nent, we might have different advice
to give our readers, but as the citizens
have remained apathetic, and the
fight is perforce one of parties, we
think on the whole the best thing
every man can do is stick to his own.

Cleveland VS.. Perkins--A Party Duty.
The nomination made by the Dem
ocracy yesterday shows that the con-
test Of April is to be purely one of
politics. Neither side has had the
courage to get away from party inter
ests and take the lead in great popu-
lar movement; it is too late for a
peoples party to make the fight tri-
angular one. And SO the people have
been left out, and pure contest of
politics Is to be waged.
We greatly regret this state Of
things. We hoped the Democracy
( wonld make a brilliant coup in the
nomination Of some citizen who tow
cred above all criticism in ability,
character and purposes. Failing that,
We hoped that II it made political
nomination it would select one of it's
own most tried and trusty leaders for
the place. The nomination of Mr..
Cleveland we regard as by no means
the best that might have been made
under existing circumstances.
But fortune is favorable to the
Democracy. II it has not risen to
any lofty heights of patriotism, it at
least has not fallen into any such
sloughs of imbecility and bad faith as
the eRepublicans are wallowing in.
Mr.. Perkins was nominated with a
brass band. Nobody knew anything
of him except the creditable fact that
he was a successful business man.
But he forthwith began to make him
self known.
First, he wrote a telegram to DIR.
Pangborn. Then he gave a negative
interview to JERSEY CRY News re-
porter, then he wrote a letter of
acceptance, and finally, last night he
made speech. 1t is not going too
far to say that in these utterances he
has proven his consummate unfitness
to be Mayor of Jersey City. They
are mere weak milk and water com
monplace. The man plainly knows
nothing about politics, nothing about
public affairs; he has no knowledge
OF men or methods, no precise ideas,
no backbone, no clear thought about !
the situation except that he has been
placed in a deuced unpleasant posi-
tion, and wishes he were well out Of
it.
Those republicans who were enter
ing on this struggle with honest hopes
have thrown up their hands. A GER
tain dishonest clique who had no in
tention that republican should win
are going about chuckling at the sue
cess Of their corrupt Vaccinations. In
fact, about half the party feel sold,
and the other half have sold them.
So there is war in the Republican
camp, and it is augmented by one or
two minor First, we are
informed, Mr.. Perkins has not bled as
freely as the bloodsuckers expected
He has sized up his chances, and has
concluded they are worth about
1000, and vague promise. That is
just about one-fifth Of the capital be
was expected to supply, and SO a
very blue Finance Committee is MAX
ing a tour among the citizens, who
do not seem to see the situation in
any very strong financial light. But,
