The trlumphs OF American yachts are
inseparably bound up with the name of
Edward Burgess, who died in Boston last
week. He was the designer of the
Puritan" tho "Mayfower'' and the
"V Volunteer" all of which defeated British
yachts which came here in a vain attempt
to wrest the Queens cup, won by America
in 1851, from the hands of its keepers.
He was born forty three years ago in
Sandwich, Barnstable county, Mass His
father was a wealthy merchant. Young
BURGESS entered Harvard and was Gradu

Brandreth's pills are the great blood
purifier. They are the purgative and
blood tonic, they act equally on the
bowels, the kidneys, and the skin, thus
cleansing the system by the natural outlet
of the body-they may be called the
purgative sudorifc and diuretic medicine.
They stimulate the blood so as to enable
nature to throw off all morbid humors,
and cure disease no matter by what name
it may be called. One or two of them
taken every night will prove an ipfallible
remedy.
Brandreth's pills are purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless aud safe to take at
any time.
Sold in every drug and medicine store,
either plain or sugar coated.

1t has been the rule to consider nasal catarrh
almost entirely a local disease, and one that
has very little effect upon the general system.
All this is being rapidly disProved, and 1t Is
being shown that II the nose is in an I'M
healthy state there is quite a long lit of afec-
tions which may be induced in consequences.
Hay fever has often been cured by applica-
tions to certain points IN the nasal passages.
Asthma, also, has yielded to the same treat
ment. 1t is a well known fact that when the
victim OF cataTrh suffers rom dyspepsia
scarcely any Improvement in the latter can
be made, no matter what is done for II, until
the former Is on the gain.
Evidence is not wanting to show that severe
functional disturbances OF the lungs, and even
OF the heart, are Sometimes induced by nasal
trouble Recently there was reported the case
OF a woman who had had epilepsy for several
years, and, although she had patiently sought
relief, no improvement took place until appli-
cations were made TO her nose and its condi-
tion improved. Under that line of treatment
entire recovery occurred. Very many other
cases are on record which show that the rela-
tion of the nose and other parts of the system
is very intimate, the connection being, OF
course, through the nerve system.

4 contemporary SAYS:


Henry W. Wilbur. the erstwhile Prohi.
bition orator and editorial writer of Cum
berland county has fallen from grace and
is now engaged writing red hot Democr attic
editorials for the Hammonton Mirror, of
Atlantic county.
There is nothing in the above, absolute
ly nothing. True Mr.. Wilbur is engaged
on the Mirror, as he has been engaged in
one capacity and another for the past sew
eral years, and may be writing editorials
for a democratic newspaper, but that they
are from a democratic standpoint or in op-
position to the cause and principle of pro-
hi5itioB, neither We, or any. one else &C
quainted with Mr.. w, will for a minute
believe. 1t is too late in the day to fool a
man of Mr. WIS caIibre with chaff winnow-
ed from the rum Wind mill of the two old
parties, and especially Of the democratic
party of New Jersey. There is not enough
''for revenue only" in Harry Wilbul's
makeup to induce him to flop from a
party of principle to one of expediency,
and this, we might add in parenthesis, is
openly charged upon some publishers we
know of who are not democratic editors
either.

them. Then what will you do?

Drinkers Dictionary.
HALF AND HALF.

The title OF HALF and Half is given to
a mixture composed Of two sorts OF
liquors.
To the drunkard's wife it suggests that
her ''better half" has proved "for worse"
instead of ''for better
1t may also signify the many half dollars
that have been transferred from the pocket
Of the drinker to the till Of the dealer in
spirits, or possibly it has reference to the
half pay that Is received because of drink
ing habits, or to the half hearted manner
in which a habitual drinker performs his
work or treats his family.
In some cases it is also suggestive OF
half-witted children, born so because their
father was a drunkard.
Half and half, the best half Of the man
gone, and the other going. Who>or what
shall stop him.
I~N-HIGH-BIT.
Many persons who favor the restraint
of the liquor traffic do not like the term
prohibition; possibly they would be better
pleased with a new word.
To inhibit means to check, to hold back,
to hinder, to repress.
The word contains all the elements that
exist in the word prohibition, and there
fore any one who favors the repression OF
the liquor traffic may be called an inhibi-
zionist.
The first syllable Of the word, although
suggestive cf an Inn, has no liquor in it.
and the word high" Ia not used In the
sense Of being elevated through liquor; it
it has reference rather to the fact which
stands out in ''high relief that 1t is nov
high noon" in the tempe rance cause, and
"high constable" Of public opinion will
soon seize all offenders against good
morals, and pay particular attention to all
having high wines. or high eolored noses
in their possession, and not one "bit' OF
leniency will be shown.
Awake We drunkards and weep; and
howl all ye drinkers Of vino, because Of
the new wine for it is cut of from your

The bugles of the temperance crusade
and the long contest following have called
forth a host of heroines-many whom his
tory will recognize more clearly han does
this generation. Among them stand out
the round-the-world messengers of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
First of these was Mrs. Mary Clement
Leavitt, who left America eight years ago
and has been on the wing ever since. She
returned to this country a few weeks since
and is now visiting i'll Chicago and vicinity
Mrs. Leayitt has accomplished this
unique mission without a salary, Though
sue gave up a most lucrative and pleasing
occupation to travel. She has been &C.
casionally assisted from the slender purse
of the Worlds union, but she is a wonder
to those who know how little she has had
to GO upon. She has, however, received
frequent contributions from the more in
telligent of those whom she has visited,
notably the queen OF Madagascar. Speak
ing broadly, she has planted unions all
over the world. At least enough to form
many an oasis in the deserts of drink and
narcotics and to cheer the hearts of those
who are following her to water where she
has sowed.

Talk about the Russian persecution of
the Jews, if they can beat the following.
enacted right here in jersey and just over
the Cumberland county line, we should
like to be informed as to particulars:
Near Fairton there are a large number
of apple trees growing near the road.
Nobody seems to take care of them and
the apples which the vino blows down are
lying there rottening In the sun. Last
week, Thursday, as three Carmel Jews
were on their way HON from Fairton one
OF the Jews thought it would be no harm
If he should pick up some of the apples
from the ground. But scarcely had he
picked one or two when he heard an angry
voice: 81 have you here" and turning
around he say a W lid man who pointed a
double. barreled gup right at his heart. He
was marched back to Fairton where he
was unjustly tried because he had nobody
to speak for him and fined five dollars.
The other Jew who did not even touch the
apples but followed to the place of trial,
was also fined five dollars.
The above correspondence appears in a
late issue of a Bridgeton newspaper, and
if true gives but little encouragement 10
Jews emigrating to this country.

General Crop Condition..

The observers and crop correspondents
of the New Jersey Weather service report
that during the week ending July "A, 1891,
the temperature and sunshine have been
about the seasonal average in all portions
of the State.
The rainfall has been more evenly distri-
buted than on former weeks, falling on
three days at the beginning, middle and
close of the week. In the extreme north
ern, southeastern and southern portions
the total for the week was slightly above
the average, while in the middle portions
it was below it.
These conditions were on the whole favor
able to all crops, especially corn, which is
now in a promising condition. Potatoes
in some districts, notably the portions Of
the northern and middle counties, have
been seriously affected by the drought and
the yield will not be near as great as indi-
Gated from the growth of the vines earlier
in the season. In portions of Middlesex
the yield has also been impaired by insect
pests.
Fruits continue to mature well and early
orchard varieties are now in market. Grapes
are reported dong nicely, also that the
black rot has not increased during the
week. In the extreme southwestern por-
ton heavy rains have retarded the harvest
ing of oats and were also injurious to vine
truck.

A great many persons are found who
live on the dead past. They revel in the
memory of by-gone heroes and recount
their deeds of yalor with great delight.
They hardly think them common clay,
and seem to regard them as supreme be-
ings who were created fol the purpose of
being worshipped by their fellows. This
is all a mistake. Most of those whom the
world calls great were as a rule the favored
creatures of environment and circumstance.
What, for illustration, would Alexander
or Caesar. or Napoleon, or any of the great
names that have embellished history have
accomplished under less favorable cir
cumstances thar what they were surround
ed? Imagine, if you can, Alexander on a
Pilesgroye tenant farm, or Caesar running
the tannery at Pole Tayernl How could
they have become conquerers of the world?
Suppose General Grant had died a year or
two preceding the outbreak of the great
civil war, what would nave been his his
tory? He would nave had none, and in
stead of newspaper laudation by the mil
lion and published books by the thousand
exalting his worth, there would have ap-
peared perhaps in the regular death
column of the newspaper of the place a
plain notice of the death of Mr.. Grant,
who leaves a widow and three or four
children to MOURN his loss.

Mrs. Josephine X. Henry, in the Blu
| Grass Blade, says Of the status of women
as fixed by the proposed new constitution
of Kentucky:
The new constitution is the tomb OF JUS
tice for Kentucky women. There is not .
syllable in it that gives the slightest recog-
milton of woman as a component part OF
our civilization, or protects the persons,
lives, liberty, property, or maternal rights
| of the women of Kentucky; and every
woman in the State who respects herself
| should use all her influence to defeat it.
II married woman is a wage-earner,
and she uses her earnings in purchasing
furniture, food or clothing, they belong
absolutely to the husband, and he can take
them from the house and sell them, or give
an order for their delivsIanee, and the
woman is helpless.
But a few days ago, in this county, a
man sold a COW that his wife had bought
with money that it took her three mouths
to earn with her needle. The only conces-
sion the poor woman got was that they
allowed her to milk the COW before they
drove it away. as she begged SO hard for
the milk for her three little children. He
traded the COW for a gun, filled up with
whiskey, and started on the war-path.
II woman has property MOI secured to
her as q separate estate at her marriage,
law takes possession Of it and turns it over
to her husband. Hs rents her land, be-
comes absolute possessor Of her personal
property, and il she has ready money the
husbands creditors can attach the money
for his debts, as soon as the marriage cere-
mony is said.
A girl OF twelve years can sell herself,
soul and body, and the law throws its pro-
tecting arms around the degraded wretch
that wrought her ruin, while the same
child has not the power to give away her
| doll, or to give herself in honorable mar
rage till she Is eighteen years old.
The avs Of marriage and divorce are
made for Kentucky women, and they have
no more say in regard to the institution
that most vitality concerns them than if
they were stocks OF stones The laws of
| descent and distribution are all made in
the interest Of men. Every ofice-holder
in Kentucky puts the money Of Kentucky
women taxpayers into his pocket with as
| good grace as if the women had been con-
suited, and had consented to help to supply
the provender in the public crib.
When we enter into the married state and
become mothers Of children, We have not
a shadow of claim to the children we 90
down into the valley and the shadow of
death to give life to; for a father in Ken
lucky can will an unborn babe away from
its mother; that, too, if the father is not
tweuty-one years old.
II woman is the mother Of an illegiti
mate child, there is no danger ola father
willing such a child away. for it belongs
| by law to the mother.
On the death Of a wife. the law makes a
clean sweep of her property (if she has had
a living child), and gives it to the husband
while if the husband dies, tho wife receives
one third life interest in the property she
has more often than 9th or Use helped to
accumulate.
These are some of the rights that are
dealt out to Kentucky women, by both ole
and new constitutions.

If the conclusion of ones life j~ustifies the
end of living it then the Rev. Firman
Robbins. of Bridgeton, late deceased, needs
no apologies for his. After all, as we

Firman Robbins will be called greatest in

the least (by HIMSELF while living among
