At this season of the year, the good old
Democrats of New Jersey derive a good
deal Of amusement from the articles in Re-
publican papers on Fall politics. Already
Neighbor Barber, "Sink" Chew, and that
monument of independence and neutral
ity, the Elmer Times, are electing Repub-
lican legislature, and some of them Sem
ate, this Fall. Of course, there are num-
Der of ifs and butts in their calculations,
but they get to the point just the same.
The reliance Of the Spring politician of the
editorial variety is the recent obnoxious
race track legislation OF the last session OF
the legislature.
Who ever heard Of Republicans correct
ing bad or vicious legislation !? They
don't know how. Reform must come from
the Democratic party, and the bigger the
majority the more complete the reform.
Democrats will reform New Jersey in the
future as they have ia the past.

tom" Platt, the Republican leader of
New York State, is envious of Senator John
Shermen of Ohio, for the reason that he is
able to vary his position on public
questions, and still maintain a reputation
for wise craftsmanship. He says:
81 wish knew how to attune my views
to the varying currents of popular opinion
with that ready skill and easy consistency
which so highly distinguish the Senator.
The art which enables a man to frame and
pass bill in the interest of free silver
while maintaining the reputation of sound
fnancier and the leadership of gold none
tallists, is really very useful man in
politics"

A brave revolt has taken place in the
Grand Army. where an attempt to disci-
pline post that had declared in favor of
pension reform has been met with resist
ance. The greater number OF old soldiers
are opposed to pension abuses, but hitherto
their organizations have hesitated TO de-
nounce them, fearing the whole pension
system would be swept away if reforms
should be attempted. Now they are
beginning to fear that the abuses if not
checked will carry down the system, and
so they are speaking out manfully in behalf
of the deserving pensioners The break
has been made and it will be impossible
hereafter to use the grand army as body
in the interest OF claim agents at Wash
ington. Ledger

WORLDS FAIR-PENNsYLvANIA BUILDING.
Among the scenes that first attract the
attention of all visitors are the foreign
streets reproduced in Midway Plaisance
and the little pleasure boats that go fit
ting through the lagoons. On the former
people of all nationalities jostle each other
as they pass along, while the bridges cross
ing the lagoons seem to have already be-
come favorite resorts for lovers.
Actual costly experience with the res
elrant monopolists in the park has in
duced the visiting thousands to devise
ways and means to defeat the schemes of
the caterers. Lunch baskets and hand
bags are carried by hundreds of people,
and in that way they are able to spend the
whole day at the fair without being fam
ished or parting with goodly amount for
frail lunch. The price lists of the res
taurants are Eifel tower in their proper

In stepping from the sailboat to the
shore Mr.. OWENS foot slipped, and
he went into the water. In an in
slant he had scrambled out, and at
once examined his watch to see II 1t
had stopped. No; it was going just
as usual, and continued to 90 for some
days, when it stopped.
He took it to q we'll known jewaier
in the great metropolis and had 1t ex-
amined. AS soon as the expert work
man opened the watch he began to
read the owner lecture somewhat
after this fashion: '"The instant you
have reason to think your watch Is
wet or damp, drop 1t at once into aico-
hol. The alcohol has great affinity
for water, and will carry 1t of; 1t Will
penetrate to every part of the watch
without injuring 1t in the least, and
when after few minntes you remove
the watch from the spirit, which will
soon evaporate, the watch is as good
as ever, and then you need not take
it to a watch maker. Ityou can't drop
it into alcohol, put it into kerosene"
After getting the estimate of this
jeweler as to the cost Of repairs, Mr..
owen consulted another expert, and
received the same lecture in substan-
TALLY the same words.
The timepiece was put in repair at q
cost of eleven dollars. Twenty cents
worth, or less, of alcohol, promptly
applied would have saved the larger
outlay if the owner had known What
to do under the circumstances.

Mrs. Lucy Stone.

Mrs. Lucy Stone in addition to her
public work, was an. accomplished
house keeper, of the old New England
type. She dried all the herbs and put
up all of the fruits in their season.
She made her own yeast, her own but
ter, her own dried beef, even her own
soap. She always thought home
made soap was better than any she
could buy. She was an excellent cook,
and her family never Jared better than
during OCCASIONAL interregnums be-
tween servants. 81
All the purely womanly instincts
were strong in her. Even In her old
age her ideas about love were what
most people would call romantic. She
was as fond of love story as any girl
of sixteenth it were q simple and
innocent love story, that for she had
had no patience with that class OF
modern novels which turn upon the
fiirtations of married people. She
was attracted by children all children,
dirty or clean, pretty or ugly. Her
face always beamed at the sight OF
baby and on countless occasions on
boat or train, during her lecture trips
she helped worried and anxious
mothers to care for and quiet crying
child. Children loved her, and her
arrival was always a festival among
her young nephews and nieees.-

Conauests of Modern Science.---Sure-
iy I have established my theory that
dirt is only matter in wrong place.
Chemistry, like thrifty housewife,
economizes every scrap. The horse
shoe nails dropped in the streets are
collected, and reappear in swords and
guns. The main ingredient Of the
Ink with which I now write was pro-
bably once the broken hoop of an old
beer barrel. The clippings of the trav-
elling tinker are mixed with the par
ings of horses hoofs and the worst
kinds of wooden rags, and these are
worked up into an exquisite blue dye,
which graces the dress of courtly
danes. The dregs of port wine, care
fully decanted by the topper, are taken
in the morning as seidlitz powder
to remove the effect of the debauch.
This offal of the streets and the vast
ings of coal gas reappear carefully pre-.
served in the lady's smelling bottle, or
are used by her to flavor blanc manges
for her friends. All thrift Of material
is an imitation of the economy of na-
ture, which allows no waste. Every
thing has its destined place in the pro-
cess of the universe, in which there
is not blade of grass or even mi-
crobe too much, if we possessed the
knowledge to apply them to their ut
ting purposes.

BE Careful What You Say.
The following accidently CAME in our way,
Ind though we do not know the author We
know the sentiment is good:
In speaking Of a PERSONS fault,
Remember, those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw q stone;
II we have nothing else to do
But talk Of those that sin,
IT'S better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We bs, hsyS enc no 5al1s s,ghs to ;,itsS t9Sdse man
Should We not like bis company,
We know the world Is wide:
Some may have aults-and who has not?
The old as we'll as young
Perhaps we may, for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
And find It works full we'll:
To try my own defects TO cure
Before Of others tell;
And though sometimes hope to be
No more than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults Of others 60.
Then let us all when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think Of the harm one word would do
To those we little know;
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home;"
Don't speak OF Others faults until
We have none OF our own.

VIENNA, Nov. 3.-There was fierce
fighting in this city tonight. Itwas
caused by an attempt by the Socialists
to invade the Bonafeher Music Hall,
where a meeting of the Liberals was
being held. The object OF the Liberals
gathering was to pass vote OF want Of
confidence in DR.. Kronawetter, the
representative OF Vienna in the Riechs-
rath.
The meeting was originally fixed for
Friday last, but it was prevented by the
action OF the Radicals, a body OF whom
invaded the hall and refused to allow
the Liberals to proceed. The police
mad to finally clear the hall OF all the
occupants and lock the doors.
Then it was arranged to hold the
meeting this evening, when only those
persons vino held tickets should be ad-
| mitted.
BY 1880 o'clock schelling strasse,
leading to the music hall, was thronged
with clGmorous mobs Of Socialists and
workmen, intent upon mischief. They
jeered every Liberal who arrived and
tried to block his passage, but 800
Liberals succeeded in gaining entrance
to the building under protection OF the
police.
The mob continued to increase in
numbers and to grow moro bosterous.
They shouted, Down with the Liber-
ais" Down with the dogs" and
Down with the cowardly enemies OF
the people" and sang the labor song,
"IIed Arbeit." The mob, as the noise
increased, grew more bold, and they
finally made charge upon the police
Gordon and tried to force their way into
the hall. The police were badly
handled by the crowd. Tue COM
manding inspector was knocked
down and trampled upon, and his
men in trying to rescue him welded
their sabres right and lett with great
terceness. The scene for time was
fearful one Both sides fought savage
ly, and the result was many bloody
heads among the mob from the sabres
of the police, while ali the police were
bruised and beaten and their uniforms
torn. The fight caused panic among
the people in the vicinity, and houses
and shops were closed and bolted.
The mob were finally dispersed, but
later gathered in groups in different
parts OF the city aud listened to violent
speeches by leaders of the Socialists
party, some OF whom urged the people
TO rise and overthrow state which cut
them down for the sake oil the Liberals.
At 8 o'clock the greatest excitement
continued, and the police in strong
force were engaged in breaking up the
different gatherings. The number
wounded during the evening was large.
although the exact figure cannot be
learned because many of the injured
were carried of by their comrades.
The wounded police were taken to the
hospital. One OF them is dangerously
hurt. Three OF the rioters were arrested,
including the man who led the attack
on the mnsic hall.
lO:3O p. m.-The streets at this hour
are quiet.
A body OF the Socialists who partici-
pated in the music hall attack alter
wards made demonstration in front of
the palace OF the Arch ;;sG Wilhelm in
Kingstrasse, shouting dg live the re-
public" The police made number OF
furious charges before they succeeded
in scattering this mob. Many OF the
rioters were wounded.
