The Many Attractions of Hamilton
Park.
Hamilton Park is now one of the
~pleasantest places OF resort to be found
within many miles, and has become the
popular resort for many of the best class
OF u citizens. The verv many beapti-
lui trees afford q grand shelter from the
burning rays OF the sum-, the fountain
throws out its cooling spray, aud the
numerous seats affori rest and comfort
The weary. This park has many times
been maize out TO be a vile place where
none out bad characters resorted. but
sucn a charge. IL ever true, is not true
now, as The occupants of the residences
which front upon 1t will testify. The
only thing bad about the park at
the present time is the walks which are
OF soft earth, %sprinkled over coal ashes
anu cinders. when they should be of some
compact material that will not. az ar
present, provide dirt for showers of dust
In dry weather and in wet weather turn
TO mud. Considerable money mas been
spent TO put these walks in proper condi-
ton.
During the day from early morning
until the ca rly hours of evening the
parK is MADE lively by the romping of
cnlidren, who, with their attendants,
md enJoyment there in many ways.
When the darkness of night G ONES those
seeking rest from their daily Iabors visit
the park for quiet recreation. At night
It Is well lighted aud both day and night
a policeman ts there on uuty to afford
any assistance or protection thai may be
required.
The incessant chirping of thousands of
sparrows which nest in the trees. from
the break of day until the setting of the
sun, Is an enjoyable sound to the lovers
or nature and adds another attraction to
the pleasures of Hamilton Park.

Peril in Well Water.


a number of people all over this
city are taking refuge from the abom-
nations of the Passaic in the use OF
water from the shallow wells which
are found on the old homesteads.
They are, it may be broadly said,
choosing by far the worse of the two
evils.
Passaic is filthy to look at. noisome
to smell and ~nauseating to taste; but
it cannot be denied that no absolute
sickness has ever been traced to 1t.
Typhoid fever has never been cpl.
demie in this city, and the cases of it
which have occurred have never been
traceable with any sort of logic to the
use of the Passaic water.
But every one knows that old
neglected wells. especially when the
water runs low in them, are very
sinks of disease. Typhoid germs
abound in them, and they are per-
meated with the seeds of malaria.
Any doctor on the Hill can indicate
dozens OF cases of sickness due to the
use of shallow we'll water.
Any water is safe after boiling and
cooling. but it may be broadly laid
down that no shallow we'll water in
this city is one whit better for drink
ing than the public supply unless it
is boiled. Perhaps the we'll water,
boiled and cooled. may be more pal
atable than boiled Passaic, which
tastes like diluted naphtha with a

IN a more or less intelligent article

Gazette has the following mildly alb
surd paragraph
1t would be we'll for the com mand to be turn

PEELED to make a forced march to some point a
few miles from camp, either to repel or escape

of their duties might be found in orders to
march to some distant and elevated point on
the Highlands extending back from the New err
sink. or TO the jungle near the head of Chez Sc

service aud be required to run a line some
miles into the interior, through swamps md
forest and across streams, using the trees and
fences as poles, and establishing q signal SER
vice.
This is what the Gazette calls "going
the whole hog" But we would sug-
gest that if the march is thus to be
turned into a stimulation of actual
war, it would be a good idea to burn
a few farm houses, hang a couple of
women as spies, lay waste a wheat
field or two, cut down a couple of
woods and finally be attacked by
another force with ball cartridge, re-
plying with a lively fusillade. The
practical" experience or whole hogn
might be rounded up with the burial
of the dead upon the CORY fielu and
the organization of a field ambulance
and hospital service for the wounded.
The State Gazette is a great paper,
but it should have the courage to
push its convictions to their logical
consequences.
