the heading, ''Schraalenburg,n appears this
interesting information

IDENTIFY not 'on' to il. but your correspondent
has seen petition that is being circulated
among the solid business men there asking
the State Legislature to grant charter Tor
no less an area than Jersey City, Honoken,
Newark, Orange, Paterson and Passalc COM
bined together with the interlylng TERRITORY,
extending from the Hudson River back to
the Orange Mountains.
The whole Immense and valuable water
front, from Bayonne to Fort Lee, is included
in the future great city.
Commercially, it is believed, the scheme
will commend itself to the people as one OF
practical wisdom; and that IS probably the
real reason why the bankers and heavy pro-
perty owners are first being asked % en-
dorset. In these days of practical politics,
however. it is only far to suspect the ex-
istence of either Job or the qualification oL
some mans ambition in a stupendous deal OF
this sort.
The petition to the Legislature gives no
inkhng of the politics, if any behind it. 1t
is known however, that Mr.. Andrew d.
Green was asked to furnish and did furnish,
an outline of the plan to be followed, both
in securing the legislative sanction at Tren-
ton, and in perfecting the consolidation The
petition reads as follows

RYDE, Aug. 1, 1S94.-The Vigilant did
not sail in today's race around the Isle
of Wight, for the Commodore's Cup,
valued at $500. She was entered, but,
as she had damaged the head of her
mainsail in yesterdays contest, it was
deemed advisable to devote the day to
mending it and otherwis preparing the
sloop for her match race tomorrow, 10
miles to wi1i3ward and back, for the VOL
verton Cup. Sailmakers are. busy get
ting her canvas in perfect trim and her
crew are overhauling her rigging. Moth
ing will be left undone to put her in con-
dition for tomorrow.
The sky was cloudy and the wind was
northwest when the Britannia, Satanl-
ta, Corsair Carina and Manara, began
manouvering for position at the starr.
The course was westward, through the
Solent, almost against the wind.
The signal for the start was given at
$780, and the five contestants got away
fairly close together. The breeze held
throughout the day. The Britannia won
the race by finishing at 4:16:9. The Sat
anita finished at 4:19:40. The Carina Won
the race by time allowance.

HISTORY OF The CENT.

The first American cent was ''struck off"
and put in circulation just 10l years ago, in
1898. Previous to that date several pattern
pieces had been made, but they were ex
periments only, and were never put in circu-
iation The so-called Washington cents
which existed previous to the date above
given, were not issued by the Government,
and were, therefore. only medals. The cent
of 1898 was very similar to the large copper
cents of later date, with the exception that
the face of Liberty" was turned to the
right, and the legend 'One Cent" was in
closed in a chain of thirteen links.-Phila-

GREATER JERSEY CITY.
1t will be seen that popular keynote has
been struck in the use of the word prestige.
If there is one thing lacking in Jersey
mans cup of happiness it is that self same
word. His State has everything else
power. population and pride. Now, if he
can also secure the prestige which a mag
niicent commercial metropolis will give
him, he will be right ''in it, with his
naughty neighbors across the North and
East Rivers.
With a territory smaller than that which
chicago covers at the present. lilHe, ulS PIO-
posed new city would have a population or
$50, ,O00 1t will be seen that the ten citiea
mentioned in the petition contained 599, 4Sf
people four years ago. The remaining
towns had something over 100000 IN 1890,
giving a total of nearly 100000 1t is esti-
mated that by the time the consolidation can
be accomplished, say three years hence, the
ordinary increase over the figures of 1890
would be sufficient to enroll one millionsoul
in the new city.
