THE ADVOCATE.
Dismal swamp.

lnlS Is ONO VI inc liObb uhiIuO
freaks of nature to be found in the
South. 1t is a swamp on hill side.
The land slopes away to the north, to
the east and to the south from the
center of this peculiar formation. 1t
is only TO the westward that the land
gets higher. 1t area is probably 40
miles north and south and 10 to 70
miles in width east and west. Sew
eral streams have their heads in this
swamp and flow away to the north,
east and south on their way to the sea.
The soil is Of peaty nature, being
composed largely of vegetable matter.
So much so that in times of unusual
drouth the fires, which often start in
the swamp, burn large holes in the
peaty soil often to the depth Of several
feet. The Indians, who occupied this
section, had "tradition" to the effect
that at one time, during severe and
prolonged dry weather, fire burned so
long and so fiercely in this noted
swamp that acres of soil were burned
over and burned up, leaving an i'm
mense hole, so to speak, several miles
wide and long, and several feet deep,
which, when the rains came, was filled
with water, and now is known as
'Iake Drummond." At all events
the lake in there, and we have the ut
most confidence in the "tradition."
This lake is the center of the swamp,
is q feet above mean high tide in this
harbor. A canal or ditch from to 10
feet in depth and 20 feet~in width and
TO to Is miles in length would draw
all the water out of Lake Drummond
and drain the swamp. The water
would run out like water in mill
race. Sea shells are found in digging
down into the subsoil of this swamp.
The prevailing varieties of timber are
cypress, juniper and gum. Juniper
water from this swan is sought after,
as drinking water, by those whose
kidneys are effected. 1t will keep
longer than any well or spring water
in the United States. 1t is often used
by vessels making long sea voyages.
Its medicinal and keeping qualities
are well known here. Odd as it may
seem OF sound this swamp is often
used as a health resort. Every year
many hundreds go into the swamp TO
hunt and fish and drink juniper
water, sleep soundly on beds ofjuni-
per boughs and come out in the course
of few weeks much improved. Mos
quitoes will not breed in this swamp.
In fact, it has none of the general fea-
lures of a swamp except it is wet. 1t
is, in fact, a swamp on hill. A vol
er,t1da -be- wilton in regard to it.
Washington, when comparatively a
young man, surveyed large slon
OF the Dismal Swamp and dug a canal
there which is still known as "Wash-
ington's ditch" Bear live there and
steal the farmers corn and pigs within
10 miles of the city of Norfolk. 1t is
said that at one time the Dismal
Swamp was an arm of the sea, and
that Capt. Kidd, the noted pirate,
buried his immense treasure there. |
Some day it will be drained and |
farmed, the richest body of tillable
land in the South.

There arc now reported to be twelve
buffaloes, which have been
obtained by crossing Pollcd Angus
cattle OH the wild stock. Tho hump
and shaggy name of the buffalo almost
entire disappear, and the animal is
easily domesticatcd. The new breed
promises to be successful and valuable.
1t survives cold TOO great for ordinary
cattle, and it produces fur which is
said to be fine and glossy, resembling
that of the seal, but much thicker.

Some Proverbs.


Too far east is west.
Force is no argument.
Enough is great riches.
Envy is its own torture.
In every fault there is folly.
Every excess becomes a vice.
Feasting makes no friendship.
An evil life is kind of death.
Earnestness is the soul of work.
An elephant does not catch mice.
Empty wagons make most noise.
Hstadt falls by himself never cries
Fondness for fame is avarice of air.
A jade eats as much as a good horse
1t is folly to sing twice to a deaf
man.
Good swimmers are oftenest drown
ed.
A friend at ones back is a safe
bridge.
1t is easier TO blame than to do bet
ter.
Build golden bridges for the flying
foe.
A coward never forgave it is not his
nature.
To squeeze an eel TOO hard is the way
to lose it.
Expect to be treated as you have
treated others.
Fortune can take from us only what
she has given us.
Get name TO rise early, and you
may lie abed all day.
1t is easy to add to things that have
once been invented.

EDITOR BULLETIN :

EDITOR BULLETIN -
Apropos of the controversy now
progressing between DR.. Hammond
and Mr.. Burgess relative to the
observance of Sunday, would you
permit me to ask few questions?
In the first place, does DR.. Hammond
cling to the old Protestant watch
word of "The Bible, the whole Bible
and nothing but the Bible?" If he
does so, can he produce single
sentence, either in the Old or New
Testament, which authorizes anyone
to change that most solemn command
of Gods: Remember that thou
keep holy the Sabbath day? The
only one of the ten in which the word
Remember is used, doubtless for
purpose. We understand that word
to mean, do not forget. Now, some
one evidently has forgotten, who was
it? And had they the right or the
power so to do? Even the meaning
of the word Sabbath means Seventh
(not first). ''For the Lord doeth
all things WE'LL" and there is great
power in name. acknowledge
that DR.. Hammond has proven that
Sunday was observed in lieu of the
Sabbath in the primitive church, but
what does that signify? Will DR..
Hammond affirm that that church had
the power to alter the covenant which
was Numbered from Sinai, and when
Jehovah says, Remember" dare
one forget?

FIREMAN DUKES CASE.
What Led to His Dismissal by the
Fire Board and His Reinstate-
ment by the Court.

The proceedings of the Fire Fire Com
missioners, relating to the dismissal of
Joseph Duke from the Fire Department
in November, 1889, have been set aside by
the Supreme Court. An opinion to this
effect was filed by Judge Van Syckel
Saturday. BY this decision Duke is still
a member of the Department and is en-
Titled to his regular salary dating from
the time of his dismissal.
Dukes trouble grew out of an alterca-
tion with Fireman Lenahau, of No.
Engine, at fire in Lafayette in Novem-
Der year ago. Duke was acting en-
gineer of No. 9 Engine, which was Off
duty and took line of hose from No. 2
Engine. Lenahan went up to Duke and
attempted to take charge of the line.
Duke refused to give it up. The general
opinion is that No. 2 Engine had no busi-
ness there. The two men duarreled and
were separated by the Police. Lenahan
was reported to the Chief, and Commits
siouers directed the Chief to also prefer
charges against Duke. Both men were
dropped from the roll,
Lenahan was subsequently reinstated
but Duke eertiorariel the proceedings of
the Commissioners. The Court held that
the minutes of the proceedings did not
declare Duke guilty.
The charge against Duke was that of
disorderly conduct The minutes OF the
proceedings did not show that he had
been convicted on the charge, but that
his name had merely been dropped from
the roll

THE MISSION ON FIRE.
A Pole and His Son Arrested on
Suspicion of Arson.

Roman Javinski and his son August, of
No. 72 Morris street, were held in the
First District Police Court this morning
on charge Of arson.
About two O'Clock this morning the
Morris Street Mission was discovered
afire. Patrolman Steele, who ran to in
vestigate the smoke seen pouring from
the second story of the building
found that flames had eaten away
q hole nearly four square feet
in the centre Of the floor
oa which Is located the new mission. He
pulled an alarm and iiremen soon re-
sponded and quenched the flames. Chief
Farrier was soou upon the scene. The
strong smell of kerosene aroused the sus-
picions OF the flremen.
Henry Turner, who lives at No. 20. next
door. had volunteered considerable in
formation about his discovery of the fire.
He started from home just before two
O'Clock to go to work at the Sugar House.
As he started out ne found the street
filled with smoke. He also found JAyin-
ski and his SON down below in the yard
with a lamp.
Javinski keeps a butcher shop on the
first floor of the building and his family
occupies the top floor. The mission is be-
tween the two floors. The father and son
were apparently excited and cried out
nothing but Smoke, smoke" As the
smell of kerosene was so strong Steele
suggested that Jayinski and his son be
placed under arrest, and Chief Farrier
consented. Turner was also taken along
as a witness.
Javinski has his property insured for
$1,000. The policy runs out two weeks
hence.

representative, was on hand. and had all
arrangements made for the reception of
the delegates.
The first business to be considered was
the pledges which were presented to the
different candidates for Assembly honors
at the late election. The committee re-
ported that while some Of the candidates
who had promised their support to labor
measures had not succeeded IN getting
their passports to Trenton, had been de-
feated, the majority of the members of
the next Legislature had agreed to sup
port whatever bills were presented In the
interest of Labor.
WEEKLY PAY BILLS.
The Weekly Pay bill was brought up
and its provisions discussed. The bill
providing for the government of compe-
tent engineers in the different factories of
the State was also considered. 1t is in
tended by the new measure that none but
reliable workmen shall be allowed to run
engines in the future. and engineers will
be required to show certificate which

LIEUT.. BERRlAN's EXPERIENCE.
A Fly Newark Detective Arrests Him
for Missing Witness.

A Fly Newark Detective Arrests Him
for Missing Witness.
Lieutenant Berrian. of the Fourth regi-
ment had a novel experience Friday even
ing in Newark In company with Mr..
Steup, of Exchange place, he took train
on the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad at Hoboken for the purpose
of attending some Knights of Pythias
ceremonies at Orange. When the train
reached Newark Mr.. Berrian left the car
to see If some friends whom he expected
to Join him there were at the station. He
had no sooner reached the platform when
a 8iry little individual placed his hand
on his shoulder and said:-"You'n have
to get of here, john"
Berrian thinking that 1t was some
Newark knight of Pythias who knew
him laughingly replied all right but he
had friend inside who would have to
come too. He was about to enter the
car again to invite Mr.. Steup out when
the wiry individual grasped him by. the
collar ana attempted to drag him from
the car ut the same time displaying a
shield and saying that he was an officer.
Still thinking the matter Joke the
Lieutenant went with the of1cer and as
they proceeded along the latter told Ber-
rian that he was wanted by the Prosecu-
tor. Seeing that the matter was letting
man they met and wanted to know some
thing about his captor. He learned that
ne was in the hands of Detective Lang or
the Essex Prosecutors office and that he
was supposed to be the missing witness,
John Connors, whose absence is delaying
the trial of the celebrated Sunday Call
McDermitt libel case of Newark, and
whom it is said both sides are exceedingly
anxious to keep out OF the way.
Berrian denied that he was Connors,
and was explaining who he was when
Mr.. Steup came up ana established his
identity. Steup further said he knew the
man the detective was looking for; that
ne had been at his hotel in Exchange
Place, but was there no longer. 1t seems
that the detectives. knowing that Con
nors was at Steup's, have been shadow
ing the house for some time. and when
they saw Berrian, who answers the de-
scription of Connors to dot, leave the
place Friday evening they thought they
mad their man and followed him
When Lang discovered his mistake he
was profuse In his apologies, but the
lieutenant proposes to bring an action
against him.
