big commercial houses-in banks
everywhere-anywhere. You would
be surprised, too, at the sales. Enor-
nous. Astonishing. In short, l
would rather not say anything about
this part OF it, but would prefer to let
my sandwiches speak for them
selves"
But the sandwiches said never a
word.
"You wound be surprised" added
the man, chow many people relish
good sandwich. The demand actual
Iy exceeds the supply. We work
away here day and night, and our
goods are virtually sold before they
leave the store. You see, as 1 said
before, every one eats, more or less
three times q day. 1t often amazes
me when 1 think how we all manage
20 live. Who pays the baker? the
butcher? the grocer? the doctor? Yet
we all eat, somehow, some way; eat,
too, three times a day. Hence you
can see that the small item
of sc. to q large portion OF human.
ity, is Insignificant. To get q good,
honest sandwich and pickle at that
rate means something in the cash
account. Rich men, millionaires,
bankers, statesmen, ETC., etc, etc.,
eat 'em, too. Bless you, the rich as
we'll as the poor eat sandwiches.
Yes, 1t is q great business. 1t appeals
to every one, for you know, as the old
saying goes, the way to get at
mans heart is through his stomach"
The sandwich man concluded his
philosophic homily on life and eating
with a seductive list of the various
kinds of sandwiches that tickle the
public palate. AS he gave them they |
are as follows: Turkey, chicken, ham,
oyster, sardine, salmon, OK tongue,
roast beet, egg, orange marmalade,
double deckers and cannibal-The |
latter meaning a raw beef sandwich,
being especially adapted to prize
fighters, and so forth.

1t is authoritatively stated that Moses
Bragg and Cyrus Conover of White House,
Hunterdon County, are about to engage in
raising skunks for their pelts. The idea
was taken from the report of a similar ill.,
dustry in New York State is netting its
projectors handsome profit. The skunk
farm is to be established at Patterstow !, and
already the lumber required to enclose the
land with suitable fence has been pur
chased aud delivered on the grounds.
Farmers whose land adjoins that of the
skunk park declare they will apply for an
Injunction to restrain the proposed propa-
CATION. ou the ground that it will endauger
the public health, and also that the skunk,
being a burrowing animal, il will be i'm
possible to confiue it to its proper limits.
One farmer said "One such animal is
enough to annoy community so that the
entire neig ghborhood will spend days, and
even weeks, to shoot or trap him, and
when it comes to dozen or perhaps ttty
to be crowded together close TO our doors
we purpose to draw the line"

Changed Her Mind,

The Atk tknson-Simon marriage pub
lished among our marriage notices was at
tended by circumstances Of a rather roman.
tic and unusual nature. Warren Atkin-
son, middle aged. prosperous farmer liyns
between Mnllica Hill and Swedesboro, has
had for several years past as housekeeper
Miss Ella Simon. A youug man, Thomas
Costello, bad been paying his addresses to
Miss Simon, and the date for their mar
riage had been fixed, aud farm in the
neig hborhood rented, where they were to
commence housekeeping. Miss Simon
left the Atkinson farm to make arrange
ments for the approaching ceremony, and
during her absence Mr.. Atkinson realized
that he was about TO lose an excellent
housekeeDer. His plan of action was soon
determined on, and Miss Simon being
willing, they were married on the 1st inst.
Costello, SO report saws, was at first quite
indignant over the affair, but now takes a
philosophical view Of the matter, and is
quite recouciled to his disappointment
The occurrence of course created quite
stir, the more SO from the fact that
Atkinson belongs to the Society of r riends
while Miss Simon is said to be of the
Catholic faith

had gathered, and the result announced as
each hundred was counted, showing
steady gain in Richman's S favor, called forth
various witty remarks. When the fiual
result was reached, three hearty cheers
were given for Mayor Richmau, aud the
crowd dispersed rejoicing. Mayor Rich
man was found in his Office on East ave-
nue. few moments later, where he held
an Informal reception, his many friends
crowding in to offer their earnest con-
gratulations. On reaching his home
