In our news columns will be found a
condensation of a letter written by Allan
L.. MeDermott exposing the hollowness
of the Voorhees, Committees reform
pretences. MI. McDermott selects the bill
to reduce the fees of the clerks of the
Supreme Court and the Court of Chan
cory for his text, and before he gets
through with them. they shrivel into
mere rags like a child's toy balloon
crushed between a man's hands.
These bills, we have been inclined TO
favor, accepting them, as We have done,
at their face value. But the moment
they are subjected to expert analysis,
they become mere hollow vulgar frauds.
They make a pretence of reform for cam
paien purposes, while they perpetuate
the old system of abuse IN the hope that
a Republican may be the x to profit
by It.
The letter of Mr.. McDermott. however,
disposes of these bills as political ma
terial. The people will remember that

people a saving of some $500 a year.

The approach of the summer brings out
the bicyclist, the yachtsman, the angler,
the sportsman and every other body
whose particular hobby can only be
riddle out of doors. Machines are care
fully repaired, boats are overhauled,
tackle Is inspected. and arms are tested
preparatory to a few months devotion to
the particular pastime. But there is a
small body of men whose pursuit out of
doors must not be forgotten, and that is
the amateur photographer. He is now
getting out his camera, replenlshing his
stock of dry plates, furnishing UP his
material and laying out plans for a vast
collection of pictures. The lowland, the

mean AN inexhaustible ~storehouse from

during the winter months he can spend
many a busy hour in arranging and
mounting his collection in any fashion or

TRAINING FOR A B A

An item concerning Washington Irving,
for the truth of which we cannot voucli.
although 1t contains a deal of good ad-
vice for certain youngsters of the present
time, has lately come to our notice. 1t
is to this intent:
Washington Irving, in his youth. had a
longing to go to sea and be a pirate. He
determined to make the attempt, bul
wisely decided to prepare himself for il
by preliminary experience. He began by
eating salt pork. That made him sick
He then slept for a night or so on hard
boards. That. made him sore: 1t. was
enough. He had no more desire to &c
away. Other boys who want to aptur
men-of-war, or who desire to go scout.
