NJ Carnot's reputation has been slipping
down an inclined plane has for some
time past been evident to every OBJ
server. No one accuses him either Of
population or corruption, though the nc
Guittal does not everywhere extend to
every member Of his household, but a
bitter feeling is abroad that he must
have known more or less what tainted
instruments he was using, and that he
has been inezpicably wanting in the
resolution to probe the affair TO the bot
tom and prosecute the guilty.
As often happens, even the tainted are
in favor of severity, and before N. Ca

smothered by the legal inquiries and

Bottle flowing by Machinery.

At the present time the eyes Of the
bottle making world are turned toward
New Jersey, Their glance ceuters upon
Woodbury., for in that quite village the
destiny Of the bottle blower may be said
to be on trial The Ashley bottle MAX
ing machine has been set in operation to
see if it cannot do the work of human
hands and lungs and do it better and
more economically The machine was
described before the British association
in 1880, when it was stated that bottles
had been made by the machine, quite
complete which had successfully been
subjected to an internal pressure Of 800
pounds to the square inch. The career
of the mpchiue in England, we believe,
has been most unfortunate, but this does
not at all diminish the interest which its
introduction into America has cGcitcd.
The advantages to be gained by the
use of such a machine are much too solid
to permit small obstacles to hinder its
success, The trial run ct Woodbury.
has been fairly successful. The auto
matte principle has not been developed
to the full extent in these machines. but
it has been carried so far that one man
and three boys-none Of them necessarily
skilled glassblowers-can operate two
machines, each of which is capable of
turning out two bottles minute Pro

Inst of the Druids.

We regret to announce the death Of
the high priest of the sun at the ripe age
of 90. To the eye OF faith he was the
last of the Druids. The profane knew
him only as DR.. William Price of Liam
trissant, in Glmnorganshire, and charac-
terized him as "a most eccentric man"
1t must be admitted that they We're not
altogether without excuse for this opin-
ion He attempted to initiate the pontif-
ical raiment of his predecessors in the
priesthood, wearing a whole foXslin ON
his head, light green coat with trousers
to match and a scarlet waistcoat
AS a reproduction of Druidic costume
the profane may perhaps be again eX-
cused for thinking this a little uncon-
vincing Even high priests of the sun
are not without human weaknesses, and
DR.. Price signaIized this truth at the age
of 81 by marrying his housekeeper, a
girl of 10. One must allow that this step
is "A touch of prose in such a character,
but he redeemed it shortly afterward 10y

child on a funeral pyre which he erected

How Tennyson Decided IA Matter.

Here is Tennyson's own account to Mr.
James Knowles, editor Of The Nine
teenth Century, of how he was offered
and accepted the laureateship: THE
night before | was asked to take the
laureateship, which was offered to me
through Prince Albert's liking for my
In Memoriam, dreamed he came to
me and kissed me on the cheek. | said
in my dream, Very kind, but very Ger
man. In the morning the letter about
the laureateship was brought to me and
laid upon my bed, | thought about it
through the day, but could not make up
my mind whether to take it or refuse it,
and at the last | wrote two letters, one
accepting and one declining, and threw
them on the table and settled to decide
which / would send after my dinner and
bottle of port"

He WOULD NOT LEAVE THE COLONY
A Prisoner Who Climbed a Cocoanut Tree
and De!led "A Regiment.

/ A Prisoner Who Climbed a Cocoanut Tree
and Defied Regiment.
It is the custom in the British army
that whenever a regiment is transferred
from one colony TO another prisoners
| who may be in the jail are handed over
to the outgoing corps and continue their
sentences at the new station. In one
case one Of these jailbirds made up his
mind that he would not leave the colony.
Private Johnson was one of the smart
est men in the corps, and furthermore
he was an excellent groom and almost

ing. He was thief His populations
had, however, been generally small, and
he had escaped serious punishment. One
night large store in the town was bro
ken into and a considerable amount of
money stolen 1t was conclusively
proved that johnson was the thief, and
he was sent Jail. When the regiment
was leaving the colony, Johnson, with
some other soldier prisoners, was to be
handed over according to custom. When,
however, his cell was visited, it was
empty, and there was not a sign of
Johnson anywhere.
A search was made ia every direction,
and at last prisoner pointed to a cocoa
nut tree which grew in the middle of
the prison yard, and there comfortably
seated among the tuft of leaves was
johnson. The warden at first tried to
get the man down by quiet persuasion,

swore, johnson laughed contentedly at
every mood, but did not move. The fact
was reported to the colonial secretary,
who recommended that the fire engine
be called out and the man washed down.
The chief OF the fire department hardly
thought it was CousOnant with his dig
nifty to wash prisoner ont Of a cocoa
nut tree and reported that there was not
pressure of water enough to get a stream
to the top Of the tree This was proba-
bly, true, for the tree was a tall one.
The case was again referred to the CO.
lonial secretary, who took it before the
governor. Ills excellency was having
luncheon with some Of the departing
officers and their friends and was having
a good time He was vexed that at such
a time he should he troubled with official

Stealing the Declaration of Independence
When James Monroe was president
and John Quincy Adams secretary Of
state, an ingenious English engrayer OBJ
tanned permission of the two dignitaries
mentioned to take the Declaration Of In
dependence and engrave it in facsimile
on copper, He carried the precious docu-
ment to the printing Office of one Peter
Force. When everything was in readi-
ness, he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid sheet Of india paper Of
the same size upon it. This india paper
was next mOistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. A heavy
proof roller with a weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document. When the
india paper was removed from the face
of the instrument, it took with it at least
one-half of the ink used in writing and
signing the document.
The document is less than Il century
and quarter years old, and with proper
care should be almost as legible as it was
on the 9th day Of July, 1716, AS it is,
only II SIGNATURES out of the 50 can be
read without glass, and some of them
have disappeared beyond recall, all on
account of the thieving trick Of gov
eminent which, when they found that
they could not keep the colonies depend
ent, stole the very ink from the docu-
ment which declares our independence.

Conversational NIisters.

1t would be interesting to calculate
and valuable to find out just how much
of the peoples time and money are
wasted in "misters." The representative
seems to have a deep rooted objection to
being called plain Smith or Brown or
Robinson and insists that he be called

he does not know why the roll is called,

Indifference to serious public affairs, Our
political system has developed certain de-
fects, but no effort is made to get rid of
them. The people of some of our largest
states submit to boss rule which they
could crush forever by giving attend
ance at caucus and the polls for three
consecutive years.
"See, too, how system of frequent
and prolonged holidays has developed.
We work fewer days and fewer hours in
the day than our fathers or even our
elder brothers did. Every one seems to
be forever looking forward to vacation,
like a schoolboy.

sensational murder, or at some other
personal stuff about people of whom you
never heard before, and who are dragged
before the public by circumstances in
which the public ought not to have the
smallest interest"

not be denied that there is enough truth
in it to cause us to pause and remember

and uncertainty attending the securing
Of satisfa tory hotel accommodations.
The Northern Pacific Railroad will i'll
