Hoboken,s Relief store.

IN Tile OOStTOtT vi cdAoSudys q
| suggestion was thrown out that the
| relief store, started in Hobokeu to
meet the prevailing distress, be made
a permanent institution. We hope
no such painful mistake will be made.
| The effect on the beneficiaries of the
store would be most ~demoralizing.
The worst wrong that can be done the
poor is to teach them to rely on char
ity. The truest ~benevolence is that
which firmly urges them to fight their
own battle to the last extremity.
But a still more serious aspect is
the injustice that would be done in
regard to Hoboken's tradesmen. How
could they carry on business with a
'~'relief" store u~nderselnng them in
their midst? They would soon be
driven into the ranks of the unem-
ployed, and would be looking for re-
lief themselves if confronted with a
permanent competition of this reck-
less character.
No, good people of Hoboken, give
relief while you must, but stop as
soon as you can. Make your poor
take care OF themselves, and leave
| trade to its W wholesome channels.
IT is proposed to extinguish the
light in the Statue of Liberty's torch
as "a measure of economy." Well, it
is a very beggarly measure of economy,
and we hope Congress will jump on
it. Let our light, at least in this in
| stance shine before men.
A LOT OF hot heads who know moth
ing about the facts, and can know
nothing of them, until the City OF
Para gets here, are writing to the
newspapers, kicking about the loss Of
| the Kearsarge upon the Roncador
Reefs. This is just a trife cruel and
unreasonable. The loss of the ship
NAV have been due to criminal
negligence, but it is due to her
officers to wait until at least some of
the facts are known before condemn
ing them. Generally speaking,
general assumptions, such as the
present too previous critics proceed
on, cut a very poor figure when put
| side by side with realities.
THE rancor of the Journal against
the Consolidated Traction Company
Is something amazing. Now. it has
begun a crusade against permitting
the trolley cars to cross the Newark
avenue bridge over the Hack ~ensaclx,
at all. Really. things are coming to
a pretty pass when a hugo project OF
public Improvement must stand still
because a handful Of crooks have TO
pay the car fare.
LAST year, being a very poor year,
the Lead Trust was only able to earn
81, 400, 600. This sad fact was brought
out ut the annual meeting OF the
Trust, held ia the Office of Messrs.
Vredeuburg & Garretson in this city.

Some Historical Lies.

There was probably no such man as
Romulus. The first historian who men
tons him lived at distance of time so
great as to throw extreme discredit on
the story as told by him.
Alexander the Great did not weep
for other worlds to conquer. There is
reason to suspect that his army met
with a serious reverse in India, fact
that induced him to retrace his steps.
The crew of lie Vengeur, the famous
French ship sunk by an English man.

que?' They baWled for help, and the
English boats were sent to their assist
ance
The immense burning glasses with
which Archimedes burned the ships, OF
the besiegers of Syracuse at ten miles
distance were never manufactured, and
it is now known that they could not
have existed.
Pitt did not use the expression: THE
atrooiOus crime of being Il young man"
The words We're used by DR.. Johnson,
who was not present but wrote a re-
port of the speech from an abstract
given him of the hearer.
Vinegar will not split rock; so Han
nibal could not thus have made his way
through the Alps. Nor will it dissolve
pearls; so that story of Cleopatra drink
ing pearls melted in vinegar must have
been a fiction.

Riding in India.

One of the most curious modes OF
conveyance is the ethiopia" which
is used extensively in India. 1t is a
long cane basket with a seat in the
middle, from which hangs a small
board to support the feet. A canopy
of cane or cloth hangs overhead, to
ward off the rain or the rays of the
sun AS you sit in this basket man
carries you on his back, supporting
some of the weight by q strap which
attaches the back of the basket to
his head. He always begins by in
forming you that you are much too
heavy TO be carried by a single in
dividual, except for double pay, but
eventually picks you up and walks
off with you as though you were a
baby. Going along backwards, and
knowing that should the mans head
strap break you will doubtless be
precipitated over some cliff. are not
the most pleasant sensations, but
one soon gets accustomed to this
manner OF locomotiop, and becom es
alions to all danger.

straight upon his feet, although they
shook beneath him, wide awake and
ready for immediate duty-like rile
brave and gallant soldier that he was.
He stood for an instant wholly I'M
comprehending the position. Then the
little salon in it's gentle disorder--the
empty tea-eups, the chill crate, the
gray morning light, the two chairs side
by side, and in one of them Mademoi-
selle Sylvine weeping bitterly-and the
Chevalier de Nauvricourt had mastered
the situation.
Alas! what misfortunew sobbed
Sylyine.
She was thinking of the terrible thing
| that had happened to her-to her, The
immaculate One-of whom, in all her
long, chaste cheerless existence no one
had dared to breathe an unkind word
And the neighbors who would not fail
to see Nj. de Nauvricourt leave the
house-ah! what II scandal! And the old
servant, who would find them In this
plight-oh! what loss of reputation
and respect!
ALAS! alas" sobbed Sylvine.
The Chevalier de Nauvricourt put his
hand TO his head. He found his wig
and then rearranged his cravat. He
Smoothed down the shoulders and
sleeves of his coat, and gave a glance
at the buckles of his shoes. Then
drawing himself up with a dignitied
and military air, he cleared his throat
as a man will do when he has some
thing of Importance to say, and, adj
vancing toward Mademoiselle dOutre-
Val-sObbing in her easy chair, he be-
gan respectfully:
''MademOiselle. There Is one way in
which | may remedy this wrong | have
Internationally done you, in which
may repair the unfortunate conse-
quences of s-er-distraction. viii
you do me the honor to become my
wife,?
Mademoiselle d'Outreva1 trembled,
and the tears streamed from her faded
eyes and stole between her fingers
when she put up her hands in their
black mitts to hide them. She shook
her head convulsively.
The chevalier's manner suddenly
changed. He dropped upon his knees
Marry me, Sylvine," he cried. Il
have loved you all my life!"
And then Sylvine took her hands
from before her face and placed them
in his, and he folded her in his arms
and kissed her lips-for the first time
in all the years that he had loved her.
This is how Mademoiselle Sylvine
d'Outreval-whom everybody had sup
posed mot without reasom would die
an old mathematical the Chevalier de
Nauvricourt at the advanced age Of
five and eighty years.
