QUITE A TOWN.
From the Neacark Times.

From the NelCdrk Times.
The next session of the Legislature will
give Hudson County a new city OF $4,000
inhabitants. At least that is the pro-
gramme arranged by our neighbors over
the river, Harrison and Kearny. Assem-
blyman Lawless was elected by the
friends Of the measure and he has gwen
pledges that he will introduce aud have
passed a bill annexing Harrison and
Kearny, the latter place embracing the
village of Arlington. Conjoined the con-
tracing towns will make a respectable
showing among the cities OF the State,
aud the new creation will probably take
the cognomen City of Kearny. The mill
owners of kearny arc strongly opposed
to the proposed alliance and will send
their hencnment to the State Capitol. with
the 'sinews Of war;" to fight the will OF
the people.

Speaking of English peculiarities.
there is no place on earth where the
inancier becomes so puzzled to know
how the great folks manage to live.
TO prove this fact the Illustrated
american cites the fat, genial, witty
old Duchess of Teck, penniless, as
everyone knows, bankrupt, in debt,
and yet money flows through her
plump hands like water, and no
strawberry leaves rest on n more I'M
furrowed brow. She-the rotund
Duchess-is said to be the brightest
talker in Great Britain, and strings
her enormously stout neck
and arms with glorious jew
els, worth a Kings ransom.

denseIy dull or over-ambitious trades
people are willing to supply a ducal
establishment for the prestige such
patronage bestows, bur surely with

Pipe.

CAMDEN, Nov. 8. 1891.-The two-year-
old child OF Frank Fetters. No. 524 Point
street, this city, was taken suddenly i'll,
apparently without cause, on Saturday
night, and although medical aid was at
once summoned and everything possible
done to alleviate its great suffering the
little one died. after an illness Of only a
few hours. County Physician Iszard was
called In and upon examination pro-
nounced it a case OF nicotine poisoning.
The parents could hardly believe this
theory, as there was no way they knew OF
that the child could possibly have gotten
the nicotine in its system, unless it in
hailed it during some of the times Mr..
Fetters smoked in the room where it
slept. This had rot, however, occurred
for some time. Upon further search it
was found that the little one had been
given n of its fathers old pipes to play
with. 1t proved u fatal toy, for by put
ting the pipe in its mouth it had imbiDed
the poisonous nicotine.

A Ladies' Luncheon.
At a ladies' luncheon the hostess
takes the head of the table and places
the guest of honor at her right hand.
Unless cards are used, the hostess
should have so clear an idea in her
own mind of where each guest is to
sit as to be able to diract them to
their places without confusion. 1t is
not necessary for the guests to go in
couples. The hostess usually takes
the guest of honor, and the others
may fall into line as they please.
Harper's Bazaa, which is authority
for the foregoing, says that "a pretty
lunch might comprise bouillon, small
squares of fried halibut and Partisan
potatoes; either sweetbread patties,
broiled chicken or lamb chops with
green peas, tomato mayonnaise salad,
ices or charlotte russo, Or some other
dessert; fruit and coffee, salad al
monds and olives as hors d'9uvres.
The entree may be omitted if desired.

Food Prices.

1t is amusing to find Republican
newspapers trying to explain the stag
nation of trade on the theory that
prices are too low. AS a matter of
fact food staples are higher than they
have been for years at this season.
Wheat and corn advanced four cents
per bushel each during the past week,
and commanded prices which they
have reached only twice in ten years.
To bring this within the comprehen-
sion of the ~housekeeper it
may be said that the bag
of flour representing the
eighth of a barrel sells for eighty-tive
cents as against seventy-five cents.
And this in the face of the largest
crops known in this country for more
than ten years. All other food prices
are in sympathy with wheat and corn
Yet the prophets OF protection coolly
tell their readers that trade is stag
nant because prices are too low-in
other words, people refuse to buy be-
cause they are not allowed to pay
enough for goods.
That is the theory of protection in
O nutshell; the less a man earns and
the more he spends the richer he be-
comes.

In paper read before the State
Board of Agriculture by Francis H.
White, Of the State Agricultural Col
lege, I find the following: "The to-
tai capitalization of the railways of
the country June 80. 1889. was S.
518,718,578. about one-haIf of which
was stocks, and the other bonds"
The bonds represents perhaps about
Z of the water that is IN railroads, on
which the people have to pay interest.
No wonder there is not much left for
the producer after paying running
expenses and dividends on over four
billion dollars, and interest on over
four billion dollars more. A few
snides got together who have about
money enough to pay for the charter
and their dinners; and then go to
work and get the people to vote two
or thee thousand dollars per mile
and then they mortgage their fran
chise to get money to finish the road
and as much more as they can get;
then they are in a condition to live
comfortably at the expense of labor
ing men. Railroads are all right and
necessary, if there had been any
honesty exercised in building them.
