The Sky of New York.

Those whom Mars has attracted recently
will never wish to see another sky than
the sky of New York. Clear, proundly
blue, bespattered with stars, it listens to
the meditations and murmurs of the city.
New York then Is black, thick, immeas-
urable; the prodiGious forests of stone,
full Of beings, monsters, dreams which
shall become facts and change the world.
In the sky that scars above it, a special
divinity of New York sings on an immense
rhythm its glory, its sufferings, its hero
ism and the ecstasies of its legitimate pride
In the daytime the sky Of New York
seems to say that it has no special desire to
display splendors for people fearfully busy.
who never find time to lift up their eyes
and would not find time II they lived a
thousand years. Yet in it's plains OF gold,
iron, azure and(sulphur are battles OF gods
before cities of light; In its rivers of melt
ing copper fall caverns Of precious stones;
the most magnificent of spectacles are
given there every day.
The elevated railway car philosopher
says that he prefers the sky of New York
rather than any other, although he knows
well the sapphire sky of New Orleans. He
says that the sky OF New York is witty.
There are of course silly skies. skies Of
certain summer resorts where minds,
vague, commonplace, imperfectly colored,
have stained nature.-New York Times.

He was fifty-lwo years old
and leaves a wife and five
children. Blood hounds were put

as soon as possible, without effective
results. Great excitement prevails in
the neighborhood and the assassin
may 6e lynched If captured.

A RAILWAY ADVENTURE.

1t Was Amusing But 1t Drove a Woman
Into Mysteries.
A lady who has been travelling abroad
relatel an adventure, says the Youths
Companion, which befell her in Italy in
a railway train, an adventure that is not
without its amusing side. Her husband
put her into a compart ment alone. an
went to attend to the luggage. After he
had gone a viIlainous looking fellow got
in, and presently the train started off, the
husband not appearing. The lady was
naturally a good deal disturbed, and the
way in which the stranger looked at her
did not tend to diminish her agitation.
Suddenly. still with his eyes fixed upon
her. the nan took from his pocket a large
clasp knife and opened it. Then he rose
and deliberately cut from the window
blinds their cords and began to knot
them together. The lady was terrified
almost to death. She expected to be
s%trangled on the spot and began appeal
ing to the stranger to spare her. He only
laughed brutally. answering her in
Italian, of which she did not understand
a word.
Then he pulled off his coat and waist
coat, and just as the terrified woman was
almost prepared to fling herself out OF
the compartment Of the swiftly moving
train, he knotted the cords so as to piece
out u broken suspender. put on his coat
and waistcoaG aud sat quietly down in q
corner, where he went quickly to sleep.
The husband, who had by mistake got
into a wrong compartment just of the
train was starting. and who joined his
wife at the mex station, found her on the
verge of Mysteries from the effects of the
fright she had undergone.

STATE NOTES.

the Sussex Independent says:-A sing
ular coincidence occurred last Tuesday in
drawing the Grand Jury for the Decem-
Der term of Court. There were two slips
III the box containing the name of John
d. Ackerson, II representing John
D.. Ackerson of Sparta township, and the
other, John ID. Ackerson of Lafayette.
The singular part of it is that in drawing
the names the two came out of the box
in succession. Such a thing could hardly
occur again. Suppose now, that the
name of John ID. Ackerson should be
drawn in Court to sit on q case, who
would be intended, the gentleman from
Lafayette or the gentleman from Sparta?
