JERSEY MlsTLETOE.
The Beautiful Parasite Found in the
Spottswood swamp.

From the NeU Brunswick FREEDMAN.
This morning Constable Phineas NJ.
Brown. OF Spottswood, brought us a
beautiful branch of mistletoe, which has
recently been found in large quantities
In a swamp rear that village.
The mistletoe is a. parasitic plant grow
Ing upon the oak, CUR and some other
trees. but it is very rarely found in this
country. It has a small. green, smooth
leaf and small. oval. white berries that
look like polished wax or pearl.
1t is supposed that This mistletoe may
have been growing unnoticed IN the To-
cality where 1t was found for at least
forty or fifty years, judging from the
size it has attained, but it was never dis
covered until last summer, when, Mr..
Brown being cunning one day, noticed a
strange growth high on a large gum tree,
and had the curiosity to climb up and
investigate it. when he found it was a
misletoe.
He kept a ponderous silence on the sub
ject of his find. and today he gathered a
large quantity of the rare ana beautiful
evergreen and shipped it to Newark, to
be sold for Christmas decorations.
The misleuoe is very we'll known and
highly esteemed in England as a decora-
ton for winter festive occasions, but it is
very rarely found in any considerable
quantity in this region,

enthusiasm with which certain ex-
cellent citizens of Greenville rush
upon they know not what in their
eager desire for rapid transit. They
mean all they say. They want an
elevated road. They are willing to
put up their money to the extent Of
the limit they name. They see very
clearly that there is patronage enough
to make the road pay, and with the
combination of all these things they
think the business is as good as done.
1t is noteworthy that not n of
the gentlemen in the scheme is a prac-
tical railroad man. That is the rea-
son there is so much confidence. One
practical man would tell them that,
while they overcame the preliminary
difficulties, their rivals could cut the
ground from under their feet ten
times over. 1t is only necessary to
look at the history of the projects
that have failed in this city to see
how herchlean are the difficulties to
be overcome.
There is one proposal in the pub
lished plan which is alone sufficient
to utterly defeat and wreck it. 1t is
proposed to carry the road through
Bramhall avenue from Ocean to Jack
son. Does any business man seriously
think that is possible? Why, it would
take five years of litigation and a
fortune in money to force a right OF
way over that one short furlong. The
avenue is lined with handsome private
dwellings, and there is not n pro-
perty owner on it who would not OPP
pose the road with every effort he
could put forth.
This is only a matter of detail !; but
it is enough to show the lack Of real
understanding of the problem behind
the whole plan. If these gentlemen
have 800, 900 to invest in rapid tran
sit to G~reenville, the best thing they
can do is go to Mr.. Thurston and see
if they cannot make some sort of deal
with him.

RAILROAD T

A paragraph which will amuse railroad
men appeared last week in Il Morris
county paper. Here it is: 1.-THE Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad people
have issued notice that all conductors
promoted during the past four years will
become brakemen, and all brakemep
recently employed are suspended. This
is due to a falling off in the coal trade. an
exchange says"
Conductor Gus Read Is said to be the
best judge of beats on the Morris & Essex
division.
Henry Boyd is one of the most popular
ticket punchers on the Long Branch di-
vision of the Central. ;
CAPTAIN O.. Fl. Day. conductor on the
Central, is of on a three months leave of
absence, and will spend the time travel
ing through the South.
The Lawawanna has issued orders that
loose tickets from the family books must
be refused, aud that all coupons must be
detached from the little blue books by the
conductors. .
, The Central Railroad Of New Jersey
will in a few days test the new Boluss air
brake. After repeated conferences with
the officials of the road the inventor has
succeeded in having the trial of his patent
granted. Unlike the ordinary air brake,
very little of the compressed air is wasted
when in use, the surplus being exhausted
back into the receiver This will make it
particularly effective on steep grades. At
a recent test d train OF three cars running
at a rats of forIy-eight miles an hour was
stopped in nineteen seconds in a distance
of SO 2feet.
The daktugraph or thumb written
ticket is the outcome of a Detroit genius's
efforts to defy the scalper. 1t is well
known that the lines in the cuticle of no
two thumbs are alike. the inventor of
the new ticket takes advantage of this
fact by requiring the purchaser of an
iron-clad ticket to make a print of his
thumb in a blank space at one end re-
served for this purpose. The extremity
of this space, which is about three inches
long, is gummed, so that after the thumb
signature is made the eud Of the ticket
may be folde over. hiding the signature
from view. On the return journey the
conductor opens the gummed end, expos
ling the imprint of the thumb, and re-
Equires the old of the ticket TO make
another imprint of his thumb alongside
the first for Identification. The con-
ductor Is expected to carry a little pad of
coloring matter to enable the passenger
to perform this duty. 1t Is not stated
whether the railroad will requirs it's rep
resentative to carry a wash basin for
cleansing the thumb after being used as
q stamp.

Yesterdays Big Bond Sale.


1t is a matter for congratulation to
all citizens that the credit of the city
stands well. The sale of 5000, 900 of
bonds yesterday at 104.8 81 was a very
advantageous operation. Not only
does the city clear all the expenses of
refunding, and more, out of the
premium, but it is also effects a hand
some reduction of interest charges,
S $4,000 a year on this particular block
of securities.
OF course the sale is not of the
extra double gilt edged kind. 1t is
not to be compared with the opera
tions of other cities which can borrow
all the money they want at 81 and 4
per cent. at par, or even at a small
premium. The fact that we still have
to offer five per cent. to tempt in
yestors is a somewhat expensive re-
minder of old ring rule in the days
before Mr.. Robert Davis became
reformed. 1t is not too gratifying to
our civic vanity to see the City of
Camden, with a population about one
fourth of ours in numbers and with
not a tenth of u wealth and indus
tries, float its bonds at Al per cent. in
terest and still get a premium on
them, while Bayonne bonds command
almost as good a premium as ours do.
The records of these facts, neverthe-
less, are to be found in our news
columns today.
But the transaction is the best in
the financial history of the city, and
as such it must be regarded with
pleasure, both for its intrinsic merits
and as an evidence of progress. 1t
hurts US, as democrats, to have to
avow it; but truth compels us to adj
nit that the regime of Mayor Wanser
has had much to do with the advance
in the city's credit. General Wanser
enjoys a high reputation in New
York. The recent campaign left him
the undisputed title to cleanness of
intention and conservatism of method.
His subsequent course, even when it
has not met with general endorsement
here, has confirmed the idea abroad
that, so Iongsas he presides over the
fortunes of the city, no money will be
wasted or stolen.

The reasons why approval is withheld
from the foregoing resolutions and the
items therein contained can be shown by
giving the reasons in detail:
First-W. G.. German is entitled accord
ing to the resolution of your Board to
draw a salary for services at the rate of
81, 800 per annum or $3.50 per month.
The resolutions herewith returned so

Resolved. That from and after the
twenty-t1th day of April last, the salary
of the Clerk of this Board shall be eigh-
teen hundred dollars per mum, payable

Sheriff Stanton.

Mr.. Stanton takes possession of the
Sheriff's Office today, and, with his adj
vent, there disappears all the abom-
ination of pot house politics which
has degraded the Shrievalty for the
last five years. Mr.. Stanton puts in
new and clean men. He announces
new and clean methods. The bust
ness of the Office is to be run or a
pure business basis.
Mr.. Stanton is going to be Sheriff,
and Under Sheriff, himself. He will
personally see to it that the work of
the Office is promptly and pains
takingly done. There will be no
trusting things to understrappers, no
postponements, no delays, no vexa-
tions.
This is as it should be. Best of all,
those who know Mr. Stanton know it
is not mere talk. They know that he
means what he says and will make
good his promises. He is an ambitious
man of the type that seeks success
through doing right. Mr.. Stanton's
ambition is not limited to the Sherif's
office and he will give the best SER
vice he is capable of because it is the
st policy, as well as because it is his
hty.
We congratulate Mr.. Stanton upon
lis assumption Of his new office. We
congratulate him on the way he
starts out. We wish him success,
Imost cordially, and we believe he will
achieve it.
