with the silver question. He
says he had a half dollar (silver)
which was good for fifty cents
as money, but worth about forty
cents according to the goldbugs.
lie punched a hole in it, and
then, according to the govern
ment, that half dollar was worth
only thirty-five cents. He lost
fifteen cents by inutilation. Then
he punched another hole and
lost fifteen cents more, accord
ing to the government. And
when he had punched four holes
he found he actually owed the
government ten cents. Yet
about all the metal was still in
the half dollar. The Hon. Jerry
is trying to find out why he owes
the government ten cents on a
coin with four holes in it, while
the goldbugs say that the coin
is worth forty cents as metal,
and the quantity of metal was
good for fifty cents before it
had the holes. He will receive
sealed explanations.

NEW JERSEY CLUB. :

In addition to the work of removal ng
and Frightening up the main committee
room, which is to be used on special Occa-
sions MS a dining room, che work of re =
modelling the reception parlors will be
commenced soon. The walls will be COW
cred with gilded paper, new and modern
mantels are to replace those OF an antique
pattern, and many other artistic flushing
touches added.
The club short time ago received from
Major Mclaughlin, an ex-member of the
clun, the horns Of II buffalo which he shot
in tae far West during buffalo hunt.
The club Will have these properly
mounted, and utilize the ornament as
companion piece to the mammoutn pair
of bull horns presented the club by
Simeon H. Smith some six years ago
Both ornaments will decorate the newly
re-fitted committee room.
Among the many fine paintings that
adorn the wallis of the reception parIors
are several master pieces OF art from the
brush of The late Dr. w. f. Clerk. These
are especially priced, not only for their
value as works of art, but because DR.
Clerk was at one time one of tue most
prominent members of the club.
The large photograph of the club house
decorated in mourning at the time of
Grants death, should be framed. 1t is an
excellent picture.

UNION LEAGUE.

The reception rendered General Stewart
Il. Woodford after mis- lecture to the
members of the Union League Club
Thursday night was SO hearty that the
General declared repeatedly that he was
more than delighted that he had had the
pleasure Of being with them. General
Woodford found among the members
many old personal friends TO whom he
said he wished every city in New Jersey
lican club as the Union League OF this
city. The club kept the guest OF the even
ing as late as he could stay and catch the
midnight train for Albany, which city he
had LETT to keep his engagement with the
club.
During the week several names for
membership have been proposed and the
club expects TO number $50 before the fall
campaign begins.
The Committee on Political Reform
will give the members another treat in
II possible DIR. Chauncey Depew will be
secured for this date.
Within short time the club will have
a large window cut in TO the side Of the
art room for the pur pose of furnishing
more light and ventilation. The glass
will be oruamentsd nd will add much to
the appearance Of the rosm. The bath
room will also receive thorough over
hauling.
The more often Judge John A. Blair Is
called upon to represent the club in pub

observer there was an air of helplessness
and old age about it which was borne
out by the sight Of his nearly toothless
gums as be caught peanuts and apples
with dexterity born of long practice.
Looking about for Bill, Nose found
that that young gentleman had for
some reason declined to follow him, and
was stationed on the other side of the
rope, making signs to him to give the
biscuit to the bear.
Taking advantage of a time when
every body seemed to be looking over to
the other side of the tent, where a spir-
tied encounter was going on between
two country youths. Nose tossed the
biscuit into the BEARS capacious mouth.
where it instantly disappeared from
view
The result was somewhat different
from what Nose expected. Instead of
giving him grateful look for the dainty
tid-bit, the bear stared at him a moment
with a look of panied surprise on his
features, and then, with howl of min
gled rage and pain, broke the rope
which held him, and came down upon
the unfortunate darby like whirlpool.
"Oh, Lordyw groaned Nose, whose
kinky hair fairly Strengthened out in his
terror. "Oh, Lordy | rs done 70, and
he sank in heap before the enraged
bear.
This act probably saved him from re-
ceiying some severe injuries, for the
bear stumbled over him, heels over head,
and before it had time to get up was
caught by some circus men, who prompt
ly bundled it into cage
"Wot is it?' asked Nose family, as he
slowly rose to his feet.
"My young colored friend, (" answered
the head Snowman, as he assisted him out
of the tent with the toe of his boot,
never let me catch you round here
again feeding Cayenne pepper to my
animals. -
Nose received warm welcome from
Aunt Caroline that night--very warm,
coming as it did right after the applica-
ton of the circus mans toe, but he says
he got some satisfaction out of the
Everlasting whuppin" he gave Bill

Willard Fish, George Heaney aud Gill
Eert Collins have withdrawn their II ames
from the list Of candidates for tae Board
OF trustees. The election will take place
on the second Friday IN April and much
interest Is centering on the result.
OTTO Grouse is being supported by the
members of the Riding Club for the
honor OF representing the eduestrians on
the Board of Trustees. Otto is one of the
most popular young men in the club, aud
his election is assured by majority al
most as handsome as himself.
They say that John Keller can ride now
without being strapped on; that Is, if the
horse does not go too fast
The last vestage of the old principle on
which the club WAS founded disappeared
last evening when The genial Tedly VOL
bert auctioned off the old riffs with
which the early members of toe CLUB
scored SO many bulls eyes and won SO
much beer. The rifles were rusty from
want of use, and although they were
almost as good as when the club paid $40
apiece for them, not one OF them brought
more than a dollar
1t is announced that In few days the
fencing paraphernalia will be sold too.
Thus one BY one every feature of the club
which marked II as an athletic club will
have disappeared. A member was talk
ing the other day of attempting TO revive
the athletic spirit of the Palmas with
series OF outdoor sports. It is long time
sipce anything of that kind has been given
in Jersey City, and it would not prove
great attraction.
The Riding Club Is making great and
active preparations for a ride and dinner

The athletic club wonId be the right or
ganization to revive athletic sports ia this
city. There are many who remember
with pleasure the games which the club
used to conduct at West Side Park in the
early DAYS of its organization. The
track, am told. is In good condition yet,
and 1t is easy Of access, that is, for the
class of people it Is desirable to have at
one of the clubs events. Then the repu-
tation and standing of the Jersey City's
are such that the games given under their
auspices would be sure TO attractthe best
athletes in this vicinity.

ANY organization which gives such ex-

should not weary of well-doing. The ex-
cellent committee which has charge of
these entertainments can safely be
trusted to provide something in this line
out OF the ordinary run.
