coincidental Invention.

To the older and observant engineers and mechanics the world over the pher nomenon of reinvention has become ia, miliar. and to them many of the new inventions, so called, brought out from time to time bear the stamp of old ac quaintanceship. There is, in fact, a large class of devices which are repeat
 edly invented by people widely separ rated both in time and distance, and it seems indeed but natural that men of the same race and of similar minds should choose similar means for pro- ducing certain results. Almost every one, says the Mechanical News, having much to do with inventions and pat ents will recollect instances where in- ventors have independently accom- plished essentially the same results, and many who will regularly look through the Official Gazette will frequently find patents grant ed for things to him old and well known. Nor is this at all strange. The older workshops are many of them literally stored with ingenious, special COubTlVduCcS O1 H1OES OE AcSS uGlAANyS bhC accumulation of decades of active and ever-changing business, made by many men for many purposes, and locally so well known that a description would seem superfuous and a patent ridicu- lous. And yet multitude of these things may be and many are in some far-of locality rediscovered and pre- sented to the patent office, and the claims are allowed without objection.

some distance. This is true in many eases. The stables are, however, con nected by telephone, and the inconven- fence attached to securing a turnout is very slight. Ladies in New York know much more about horses in a practical way than the men. They study horse diseases to a considerable extent, read up publications on the subject, and of ten go to the stable and give direc- tions for the care of sick horse after having examined it with critical eyes.
 "The styles in carriages change. so often that vehicle, after having been used for only a few months, will often become entirely out of date. But we are always glad to accommodate our good customers by exchanging them for others of later style at a moderately increased cost.

BRAINED HIS RIVAL
Tragedy on a Canal Boat in ~ Jersey City. .
A PRETTY WIDOW THE CAUSE.
One of Her Admirers Was Insansly
 Jealous of Her ~1.---.

George Cresehs Alias ssrsick,n Had Long
 Owned Two Boatss but Ills Afgec-
 tions Were Not Returned-He Had
 Sworn to Kill the suItor Who Was
 Favored by Her and Buried an Axe in
 His Skull.
 JERSEY C1Tr, April 2.-George Creech, alias stNick," 8 canal boatman, is wanted for a murderous assault upon John Smith, a watchman.
 Smith, who was employed on the steamboat Canonicus, called upon Mrs. William F. Mann, who lives on the canal. boat Oliver A. Payne, which is tied up in South Cove.
 Mrs. Mann is prepossessing widow, who owns two canal coats, the Payne and the Ed Bennett. Both boats have been in winter quarters in South Cove, alongside the steamer Canonicus.
 Creech was employed by Mrs. Mann last summer. He had paid Mrs. Mann considerable attention and so had Smith. The latter was received with the more favor apparently, and the result was that Creech became insanely jealous. The two men fought about Mrs. Mann three weeks ago, and she says that Creech then threatened to kill Smith, who secured 8 revolver to protect him self.
 Smith and John Babcock, of the Ca nonicas, were in Mrs. sMann's cabin talk ing with her and her two little children, when Creeck came down the hatchway and ordered the men to leave the boat, saying he had been put in charge of the boat by the sheriff, who held an attach ment in favor of James Howell, one o1 Mrs. Mann's creditors.
 Hot words ensued. Mrs. Mann ordered Creech to leave. He refused and Mrs. Mann threw some water on him. Then | he went on deck and she bolted the hetchway.
 Creech then began to batter in the door with an axe, and shouted: q want 1 youse to come out" | Babcock went on deck and Smith fol lowed. As the latter's head and shoul- | ders appeared above the cabin, Creech lifted the axe and sunk it deep into the left side of Smiths. head, inficting 6 terrible wound.
 Smith dropped on the stairs, and the axe became lossened and again fell or his neck and shoulder, cutting hin badly.
 Babcock clinched with Creech, but the latter finally escaped. Smith was taker to the hospital in an ambulance.
 This is the story of Mrs. Mann, whc says that Creech has a wife and family in Troy, N. Y., where he killed negro some years ago.
 He lives. she says, with his niece, { married woman, at Third avenue an6 Twenty-third streeti New York. Creech is described as feet inches il height, stoutly built, weighing 19C pounds, of dark complexion, dark mus, tache, and wearing 8 black overcoar with pockets in the sleeves, drab trous- CTS with blue stripe and black derb! ! hat

NOTHING can be found in the adver- tising columns of the DEMOCRAT that will bring a blush of shame to the cheek. It is our invariable rule to re- fuse advertising of an objectionable nature. A newspaper that may be read without fear, in the family circle, is what the DEMOCRAT aims to be. An esteemed contemporary, which quotes scripture by the yard, allows itself to be made the dumping ground for any quack nostrum concern that may apply. It is now printing advertisements that the DEMOCRAT refused to accept at any price.

FLUCTUATIONS OF SOCIETY.
.'The SoIe-Leather of To-Day, the Plumed
 Hat of T0-MOrrow."

."The SoIe-Leather of To-Day, the PIumed
 Hat of TO-MOrrow."
 There is always a class of persons here which is called distinctively soci- ety, but it is not class of noble fami- lies of hereditary ascendancy. It is constantly changing, and the sole-leath- CT of to-day is the pluuned hat of to- morrow. Itis initiative and puts on pret- ty airs of grandeur and an amusing smirk of superiority, but it is neither grand nor superior.
 Yet, again, 1t is all harmless. An old directory tells the secret, and, as the fine society itself would say, gives this pretty grandeur away. The directory is a ruthless herald's office. You start from my Lady Disdain in the opera box, flashing with diamonds and shin- ing with cloth of gold, a little too loud in her voice, a little too splendid in her dress, the amiable dupe of novels and of ignorance, and you soon arrive, in the inexorable directory of other years, at the souSce of this magnihcence-the prosperous butcher and baker and can dle-stickmalxer, the tailor of his day, the fashionable shoemaker.
 These are the idle rich for whom MT. Gladstone asks whether nature has pro vided place. Plainly she has. Here it is in this opera-box, in wonder car riage, in this little palace of the bonbon architecture. But day after tomorrow the good people in the gallery will come down and sit in the boxes. The gods will descend, and they will drive home to the bonbon palace instead o4 walking home to the modest fiat, as they do now. It is a grandeur of wealth, and. happily, of a wealth which is not entailed, and is therefore always
 flying away, always distributed, and giving us fresh nobility every year, tasting, as it were, of the soil.-George William Curtis, in Harper's Mage
