For s~assing the Chief.

Chief Donovan saw a well dressed man
much the worse for liquor at the corner
Of Newark and Henderson streets, Hobo
ken, last night. The Chief recognized
him as Robert B~oulanger of Union Hill
and attempted to SEND him home on a
horse car, when the fellow abused the
Chief and attempted TO assault him.
Then the Chief called Policeman Murray
and Boulanger was arrested. This morn
ing Boulanger was reprimanded and re-
leased.

The origin of the custom Of sending
love tokens about the 18th of Febru-
airy is hard to trace, but 1t is safe to
say that the connection of st. Valen-
tine with 1t is purely accidental if not
mythical, rs in the legends of different
saints of that name no trace of tn e
practice peculiar to the 18th of Febru-
airy is found.
1t has been suggested by learned
authorities, says the american
StutioneT, that the custom may have
been a survival of the Lupercalia OF
the ancient Romans celebrated in the
month of February. Among other
things, the names of young women
were put in a box and drawn out by
chance by the men, who were thus
nominally mated for a year.
As the Christian clergy could not
extirpate this pagan practice, they
substituted the names of particular
saints for those of the women, the
name drawn being the patron saint
for the year. Certain it is that in
many Catholic countries on st. VAL
entine's day OF some other a patron
saint is selected and termed a valen-
tine. 1t is not difficult to believe that
the whole ceremonial originated in
nature worship, which must have
been in the primitive form OF religion,
and that 1t sprung from the observa-
tons of the popularity of the season.
This would explain the old assertion
that birds choose their mates at about
this time of Their yea, and thence came
the custom of young men and maid
ems choosing valentines or special low
ing friends on St. Valentines day, be-
cause. as Tennyson says
Sin the spring the young mans fancy lightly
- turns to thoughts OF love.
In regard to the various customs
observed on February IA in different
countries, an old authority says that
during the fifteenth century, on the
eve of the day, "a number of maids
and bachelors would assemble to-
gether and inscribe upon little billets
the names of an equal number of
bachelors and maids of their acquain.
tance and throw the whole into a re-
ceptacle and then draw them out,
ARE being taken than each should
draw one of the opposite sex. The
person drawn thus should become
ones valentine. OF course, besides
getting q valentine for ones self, one
became some other persons valentine,
but the man usually stuck faster to
the one he had drawn than to her to
whom he had fallen. These imaginery
engagements often led to real ones,
because for a whole year a bachelor
remained bound to the service of his
valentine, after the fashion of the
medieval knight of romance to his
lady love-

INDEED the Gazette abounds in
curious odds and ends of information
this morning. Here is double distilled
wisdom from its estate House
Topics
The question of Governor Abbett's successor
Is again being agitated in the State papers.
Last month it was E +. c.. Young Of Jers ey
City as the man slated to lead the Gubornator.
iai campaign next year. Last week it was Sen.
ater Robert Adrafn, but the past few days has
developed a brand new man, and It Is Andrew
kirkpatrick Of Newark, Judge Of the Essex
County Court OF Common Pleas To quote from
a recent dispatch, the question. IL is said, was
night"
The Gazette knows perfectly we'll
that it is talking nonsense when it
says that any serious step has beeu
taken towards selecting a Democratic
candidate for Governor nearly two
years before the election. 1t knows
there is no foundation for the asser-
ton that any leaders of the party
would attempt TO ''settle the ques-
tion." In the Democratic party the
people rule, under the guidance, of
course of their leaders. The diversity
Of candidates that the Gazette ex-
hibits is the best proof ofthe absurdity
OF the whole story.
This much must be added. All the
gentlemen named T of the first order
of ability, and of the highest reputa-
ton for honor and public spirit. Amy
n OF them could beat any candidate
the Republican party could put in the
field.

The Anatomy of the oyster.

A clam is considered as the emblem
of stupidity and callousness. But you
will make as great mistake if you
put the oyster in the same category as
when you class Chinaman and
Japanese together. The oyster is so
strong of muscle, as we all know, that
no human fingers are able alone to
open the doors of his domicile if he
chooses to keep them closed; liver and
stomach and digestive organs he has,
all as sensitive as ours; respiratory
organs as complicated as the human
lungs; machinery for obtaining his
water supply and for preventing an
overflow, and wondrously contrived
mechanism for the trapping of his
food. Finally, he has a heart whose
pulsations may be seen after his house
has been torn from him. With this
very limited understanding of the an
atomy of the oyster it is not difficult
to comprehend how cultivation and
care may not only improve its outward
appearance and augment its lines of
beauty. but how they also cause the
the natural or uncultivated oyster
as much as granted poultry surpasses
the product of the barnyard. When
your host places before you oysters
that are plump and round and thick
and deep and light-colored, and man
tied narrowly by a fringe quite thick
to the very edge, then you may be
sure that they have not only lived with
few disturbances but under a high
state of cultivation.-Scr

Stories are told of guides who have
dropped sticks into streams to find
which way they were flowing, and
when the sticks went in a different
direction from what they thought was
right, disregarding their plain testi-
mony, and avowing that the stream
was running up hill, says Forest and
Stream.
Other stories are told of hunters who
have been found frozen to death in the
depths of tangled swamps with COM
passes picked to pieces because they
dered man thought they should. and
so were plainly out of kilter.
These stories, though individually
unreliable, bear witness to a general
truth. The fact is that it is the easiest
cumstances to become turned around''
from this failing.
Old hands know and understand this
fact. 1t is only the tyros who do not,
and who rldicule those who own up to
having been lost. And when these
scoffers go into the woods themselves,
nine times out of ten there comes a
night when they do not turn up at the
camp. Then there is rejoicing among
those who have borne their arrogance,
for it is the turn of these to crow. and
they who laugh last laugh best.
In a fat wooded country with the
sun obscured and no compass to guide
him, tn best woodsman is apt to lose
his way. Under less favorable condi-
tions the same thing often happens
from preoccupation. Interest in hunt
ing or fishing drives away all thought
of ones course till suddenly he is
rudely reused to find that he is in an
unknown wilderness with no notion OF
the way out
