SUNSHINE AND FLOWERS.

The month of June affords us
only thirty days, but they are
charming ones; the longest fifteen
hours and seventeen minutes; days
without storms or rude winds; days
of much sunshine with occasional
showers, when the atmosphere is
dry and wholesome to live in.
1t is the season of appetite and
desire, when the means to crafty
these, within the limits that nature
has prescribed, are all provided; !;
the season of growth and expan-
sion, of marriage and birth, when
the early fruit ripens and the body
prespires, and sleep is sweet and
soundest, and the intellect is clear
est and strongest, and the sultri-
ness of midsummer, with its dis
turbing insects and sickness has
not yet come.
These rare June days should be
days of human activity, physical
and mental. They inspire belief
in the eternal and divine.

Summer in the Country.

Such is now the rule of American
life We long to hear the song Of
the birds, the hum of the bee, even
the lowing of the kline and the
click of the scythe has its charm.
We long for its "even spun" life, a
rest from the din, the clash, the
conflict, and sharper contact and
jostling of city and town life. So
we vacate our cosy and spacious
homes, and for time, dwell in the
sometimes narrow tents of country
life, for the sake of its broader
skies and wider fields and woods.

RUTHERFORD AND PASSAIC
A Comparison.


There are two places on this
hemisphere that are not partic-
ularly understood and appreciated
by those on the outer edge. One
of these towns is Rutherford, a
small place with one or two nice
buildings, about three miles east
of Passaic. The other is the town
of Boston, few hundred miles east
of Rutherford. The former boasts
of It's culture and clean cut words,
and an abundance of baked beans
for the sustenance of its popu-
lation. Rutherford, a sort of rural
gamecock, struts and crows for
the benefit of several owners of
landed property.
A few days ago when the
weather was very hot, our rep
resentative strayed into Ruther-
ford, to look at the town, examine
its public buildings, and fine resi-
dences. The post Office, near the
railroad station, we are sorry to
say for Uncle Sam, was verify like
hen coop, but with no attraction
inside the inclosure.
Walking up the main street, call
ed Park aveune, were number
of country stores and ice cream
saloons, club house in course of
erection, very fine brown stone
church on a plot of ground, and
beyond were scattered some pretty
houses. Then there is a one-horse
railroad running from some place
out in the suburbs, which we could
not find, to another place called
Carlton Hill, which is station
east of Passaic Bridge.
Near the terminus or the start
ing place, land spectators are
opening streets for the sale of lots,
and it is advertised as "Ruther-
ford Terrace AS a gentleman
remarked upon the profit of this
kind of business, ''they buy land
by the acre and sell by the lot"
Straying into one Of the little
shops of Rutherford, on our re-
turn, the conversation opened on
the beauties and superiority of the
situation over Passaic.
"How is it, we asked, 'that you
don't run your horse cars down
here to the Erie station?"
"Well," said a lank individual,
who joined in giving US points,
"you see, that railroad is private
speculation, and intended to boom
lands away out of town."
Would it not be a great con-
venience to Erie passengers and
residents if it was brought this
way?"
1--WE don't take any stock in that
road, and people don't want it down
here in the town."
"Passaic city does better in such
matters that Rutherford, as the
electric railway runs along the
main avenue and the Erie station,
! and is a pleasure and a conven-
fence to the people.
"That may. be, but, with that ex-
ception, Rutherford surpasses Pas
sale in many other things; she has

observations of Jaunt About
Town.
That there is a disposition
among the councilmen, or at least
minority of that body, to have
Paulison and Lafayette avenues
macadamized, although property
owners on those thoroughfares do
not ask it. The majority at the
last session decided against it, and
the matter rests for the present.
The improvement. of streets are
all well enough, where curb and
gutter and sidewalks are to be
laid. But when these things are
accomplished, it is better for the
councilmen to attend to the put
ting up of street names, and light
ing some of the dark places in the
middle of blocks, than in putting up
jobs on already -burdenedtax-
payers.
The sudden closing of the public
schools has thrown hundreds of
children upon the public streets,
and will be brimful Of mischief and
petty offences for the next three
months. Already many of the bad
boys have commenced their de-
predations upon the gardens and
untenanted houses in various parts
of the city. A few days ago, at
the corner of Bloomfield and Paul
ison avenues, two young ruhins
were driven from cherry tree,
which they were tearing to pieces.
On Bloomfield avenue, same day,
several bad boys destroyed arobin's
nest in tree in front of one of
the residences.
That criminals under the old
Roman law, which was inexorable,
were put to death in horrible
manner-so being smeared with
pitch, and then set on fire, and
roasted to death; others were
scourged, sewed up in sack with
beast or reptile, and then thrown
in the sea, and drowned. Murderers
out West are more kindly treated
in this age, as they merely suffer
rapid-death by hanging to tree,
after a trial by Judge Lynch and
his court. 1t is the pride of the
city of Passaic that she does not
indulge either in Roman or West
ern excesses, and rests her judicial
popularity on the basis of small
fines for drunkenness and disorder
1y conduct.
That there is one part of the
Erie railway, between Jersey City
and Rutherford, that possesses
great interest to the traveller, and
causes much wonderment tits the
crossing of the meadow land, by
made road for trains only, for
distance of about seven miles.
Streams of water run parallel with
the road, and there are numerous
diverging tributaries, all of which
empty into the Hackensack river,
and thence to the Atlantic ocean.
There is a little settlement of
frame buildings on this meadow
land, and it is called Secaucus.
Mechanics and factory hands live
in these houses, and work in an
immense foundry building on the
south side of the road. The lands
are low, and in case of a freshet or
de1uge the houses would be likely
to sail away.
In the course of time, with the
present spirit of improvement, we
may see more roads built upon the
meadow, and houses erected for
the overflow of population. Many
years ago, it will be remembered,
there were no streets or dwellings
on the meadow land between Ho-
boken and the heights. The place
was like a small ocean, and boats
were used to convey passengers
back and fourth. Now, strange
as it may seem, the waste land has
been reclaimed, and is populated
mainly by our German friends,

 PITTsBURa, April 4.-A handsome girl about IS years old, calling herself Jennie Scott, was sent to jail here for masquer- Rding in mems clothes on West Carson street. She was dressed in a new suit of blue overalls, with a small soft hat pulled down over her face and her long, wavy blonde hair tucked up under it.
 Miss Scott, according to her ctory. came from Doty's Mills, near Atlantic City, N. J. Her parents were both dead, she said, and she came to Pittsburt two months ago and has stayed with differ ent families.
 Before coming to Pittsburg, she claimed, she had been living with her grandmother, Mrs. Anna Critsman, at Doty's Mills. She wanted to go back, and not having enough money, thought the best way to get there was to dress in boys clothes and steal her lpassage on 8 freight train. It is thought that she has a lover in New Jersey and was trying to go to him.

 LONDON, April 4.-The announcement that Rev. Dr. Charles H. Sturgeon left only 2,000 pounds when he died will doubtless be az great g surprise in America as it is here. Everybody not intimately acquainted with the celebra- ted preachers methods of work SUD- posed him to be possessed of a comfort able fortune. It is doubtful whether any preacher in Europe or in America ever received greater sums of money, and it Is certain that none lived 8 more simple and inexpensive life.
 But Dr. Sturgeon merely considered himself the trustee for the poor of all sums that came into his possession. He never considered himself the rightful possessor of the money in his pocket when he met person in greater need than himself.

CONSIDERATION oFTAR1FF BILLS
For Silver Legislation tho Outlook is No
 Very Bright

l The LSss Radical of the Silver Advocate
 jSlatIOn by FIlIbustering - AIr. Dawes
 Wants Another Vote on the Indian Agent
 Bnl--Hs Hopes to Secure the Retention
 of Civilian Agonts.
 WASHINGTON, April A-The House will devote the greater part of this week to the consideration of the tariff. To-day MT. Wilson (W. Val will close the general debate on the Democratic side. and act ing for MT. Springer, will move a vote on the pending bill. It is expected that the consideration of such amendments as may be submitted will not occupy more than two days. It is the desire of the Democratic leaders to send the bill to the Senate on Wednesday at the latest, but no advantage, it is said, will be taken of the suspension rule.
 The Binding Twine bill will be taken up upon the passage of the Free Wool bill, provided the House should not de- eide to side-track 1t for an appropriation bill.
 It is altogether probable that the mem- berS interested in measures on the pri- vate calendar will make Q strong effort SS oSSuAo eho GCSuA OI0OC OA 1C1uhy 4OE that purpose. This tho House may de. feat, as it is the plan of the managers to hasten the consideration of the tariff bills as rapidly as possible.
 The prospect for silver legislation in the House is decidedly poor, the boasts of the free silver men to the contrary notwithstanding, nor Is 1t probable that the ardent advocates of the Free Silver bill will go go so far as to attempt to ob- 4frnnt all TOa fha turiR billie if their efforts to secure consideration for their pet measure are disregarded. The less radical element of the silver ad- vocates believe that 1t would be both poor policy and poor politics to dlibuster against measures of paramount national importance and to go to the extreme of attempting to block necessary leRisla tion.
 The Senate has resolved to devote two uninterrupted days during the coming week to the consideration of bills on the calendar. How far this intention will be interfered with by the debating school' on the silver question, as Mir. Sherman terms the prospective debate on the Morgan resolutions, remains to be seen. Appropriation bills also have to be taken into consideration. They have the right of way at any time.
 The Indian bill is not yet completed. MT. Dawes wants another vote on the question of authorizing the President to appoint army officers as Indian agents. That passed the Senate with discretion ary modification, when there was barely a quorum in attendance. MT. Dawes hopes to secure the compulsory retention of civilian agents, as at present, if he can get the question before 8 full Senate.
 MT. Allison has the District of Colum- bia appropriation bill ready for presenta- tion. Its consideration is likely to occupy two or three days at the least. Between these opposing forces the general bills on the calendar will probably stand a poor show, especially as MT. Stewards free coinage bill is high up on the list, and he has given notice of his intention to call it up to-day.

and Taken to St. Paul.
 ST. PAUL, April 4.-Indignation is at . high pitch in St. Paul last night over the murder of George H. Spaulding, a boy of 19 years, at Portage, Wis, shortly before dawn on Saturday morning.
 Young Spaulding was the son of Hugh Spaulding, one of St. PauIs leading cit izens. MT. Spaulding arrived here yes terday afternoon with the body of his son and cleared up the mystery of the assassination. He was killed by George Whalen, a young man of %, whom Spaulding considered one of his warmest friends.
 Three or four days ago Whalen coaxed Spaulding to take a trip to Chicago. On Friday Spaulding's father purchased tickets for both young men, gave his son $So dollars and 8 gold watch, and ac- companied the pair to the evening train. On the way to Chicago Whalen prevailed on Spaulding to get off the train for a day at Portage. They left the cars at that point at $40 in the morning.
 After walking 8 few rods along the track Whalen picked up a broken, jagged coupling pin and beat Spaulding's head into jelly. Robbing the body of the money and the watch, Whalen took Spaulding's coat and shoes, threw the body into the canal, and made his escape. He had evidently planned the murder several days before. If caught and brought to St. Paul Whalen will be lynched.
