A CHINESE CITY.
Description of QufnkOn on a Spur OF
the Grand Canal.

Quinsan lies ait the end of a spur of
h famed Grand Canal, which is, next
to the Great Wall. the noblest work of
the Chinese. Pagodas are not common
in China. You do not see one in every
day of travel, so 1 remember that one is
on the lone mountain that dominates the
approach to the city. The outside town,
such as hes by every gate to every city,
is a place where a painter could spend a
year to better advantage than in most
painters resorts in southern Europe.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
EVERYBODY OUT DOORS
Citizens Crowd the Cars all
Day Yesterday-Bieyeling
and Yachting Popular.

1t would be difficult to imagine a more
perfect day for outdoor pleasure than
yesterday, and thousands in this county
appreciated it. Early in the morning
the shoe-blacks and BARRIERS did a thriv-
ing business. and housewives hurried
with their domestic work to devote
themselves to preparing their children
for a days outing. Churches were
largely overlooked, n by ten o'clock
the trolley cars were all doing an ex-
cellent business taking ramily parties to
different resorts. AS the day advanced
by two o'clock all were packed and
jammed to suffocation.
Families went to Coney Island, Rock
away, Glen Island, up the Hudson or
down the Bay, and many went to the
woods along the Newark Bay, in Green
vile and Bayonne. Schuetzen and Floral
Parks also received their share of
pleasure seekers. Young men and boys
went to the suburbs of the city and
played ball, or went sailing or grabbing.
Bicycle riders Of either gender were out
early on their ~tireless steeds, and the
Boulevard was well crowded by them.
There was but little driving on this
th~oroughfare, Cor the most of the own
ers of good horses were out of town.
YACHTING POPULAR
All four o'clock the Boulevard was
like a beehive and thousands blessed
the Board of Freeholders for the good
road, the only one in the county. At
the Jersey City Yacht Clubhouse the
members were nearly all early on hand,

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 20, 1896
Three sets of twins in three years is the
record that Mrs. Augustus Jamison of
No. n Delafield street, has set for the
young matrons of this city. 1t has taken
New Brunswick forty-ive years to
ouble its population, but If Mrs. Jami-
sons example is followed to any great
extent the next forty-five years will
see the old Dutch town the metropolis
of New Jersey.
Mrs. Jamison was a Miss Waller, and
was born in New Brunswick in 1872.
Her parents are Germans. She was
married in the spring of 1892 to Augustus
Jamison, an intelligent and industrious
young man, employed at Janeway &
scions of large families, Mr.. Jamison
having six brothers and three sisters,
and Mrs. Jamison three brothers and

AGAIN presented MN with 'aS pretty a
pair of little girls as I ever saw" as the
doctor said. They weighed six and three
quarters and eight pounds respectively,
and were perfectly formed and healthy
and give every promise of staying for
an indefinite period. They have been
named Loretta and Isabella, family
names in the mothers family, and are
the pride of the grandparents on both
sides.
Mrs. Jamison's prediction for twins
is evidently the result of heredity, her
maternal grandmother having twice
ternal grandmother also increased her
family by two at one birth.
Mrs. Jamison does net enjoy the. no.
toriety which these facts nave thrust
upon her. but her husband takes it phflo-
soph.cally and hopes that the rule of
three times and out is going to apply in
the future.

ENGLAND IN EGYPT.
Increase of the National Debt-Loss
of The SOudan.

of the SOudap.
WASHINGTON, July 20, 1895.-The eff
fects of the British. occupation of Egypt
are discussed in an interesting manner
by Frederick C. Penfield, agent and
Consul of the United States at Cairo,
in a despatch to the State Department.
The document presents some facts not
generally known, and which indicate
that British rule is not an unalloyed
blessing. Mr.. Penield says
1T is a popular fallacy that the debt
has been decreased with the British oc-
cupation of the country. for it has been
materially added to. decentralization of
those whose property was destroyed by
reason of the Arab rebellion, with the
attempted bombardment of Alexandria,
the military fasco resulting in the loss
to Egypt of the Soudan, the construc-
ton of irrigating dams and canals. and
other necessary expenditures, have in
$40, 600, 900. But the character of the
securfty-the intrinsic worth of the coun-
try-has been SO improved that European
owners of bonds have willingly reduced
the rate Of interest by nearly one-half.
The total bonded debt of the country,
sos, s45, 299, applying to an agricultural
population of 7,000,0 coo, or a debt of about
$72 for every man woman and child"
Mr. Pentield says that a reform of
great Importance, now in progress. and
to be completed in 1897, is the adjust
ment of inequalities in the land tax.
This tax, in some cases as high as $500
per acre. and of an average of $4.56
per acre for the whole country, he says,
has been a milestone about the neck of
the Nile farmer. sapping his energies
and stunting his intellectual growth.
The mathematical mind, adding to the
foreign Indebtedness, which represents
definitely $97.17 ON every productive acre,
the So of home burden-probably under
estimated-fnds that but little equity re-
h 1000 years has been the most in
dustrious and light-hearted of husband
men. Simply speaking, it means an
equity of only $40 per acre, or, as for
each i~nhabftant there is an average of
exactly -three-quarters of al acre OF
tillable soil, a remaining margin of
analysis eight or ten years ago. he says,
would nave shown the account to have
been ON the opposite side of the ledger.

WOMAN's QUEER WAY.
Mrs. Campion Wants Her Husband
Sent LIP for Ninety Days.

Three weeks ago Mrs. William Cam
pion. of Adam and Sixth streets, Hobo
ken. had her husband arrested for as
sault and battery. Campion was sent to
Snake Hill for ninety days, but had not
been there more than a day or two when
Mrs. Campion was running about the
county trying to get him released. She
was successful and within a week after
he was sent up he was out again.
This morning Mrs. Campion was again
before Recorder McDonough asking for
a warrant for her husbands arrest upon
the same charge. His Honor told her
that if her husband was sent up to the
Hill again all her efforts to get him out
would be in vain.
All right. judge she replied, you
can give him ninety ear instead of
ninety lays this time"
A warrant was issued for his arrest.

The Democratic Nomination.

The Trenton Sunday Advertiser of
yesterday renews an old story in the
following -sentences:-

paign which is about to open will require
the presence of the candidates themselves
on both sides. because of the extraordl-
nagy p phaee ef the c flaneeiHn. f MeGill Is 20 q
host IN himself. because. of his great
ability and high personal character, it
argued that an active, personal partici-
patton in the campaign may be neces-
sary to insure a victory. For these and
ciamoring for the nomination of John
Potter Stockton. There is no more
powerful orator in the country. His
masses IS simply immense: He Is
thoroughly conversant with the. pohtleal
history of the State for over q half cen
fury, he has the courage OF MS CON
yictions, and at repartee he could not be
subdued by even John W. Griggs, VINO is
considered one Of the ablest men IN New
of General Stockton made by his ardent
admirers, and they will insist that ne
and lot Chancellor McGtn should be the
nominee.
There has been a rumor, the last week
or SO, that some of the Democratic
1eaders-we cannot imagine who-have
been arranging to force the nomination
of John P. Stockton upon the party.
Nothing could be more disastrous. Mr..
Stockton is an abstruse and ingenious
lawyer. His knowledge of the history OF
the State and the country is remark
able. He is a sound Democrat. He has
been and is an excellent Attorney Gen
era1.
But all these are secondary considera-
lions. The point is just this:-Do the
Democratic leaders want to force the
Senate grab of 1894 upon the people as
the issue in the coming campaign? If
they do, Mr.. Stockton is the mar to
nominate. He is the very embodiment
of that issue. We do not insist that
he was wrong in the ground he took.
Perhaps he was right. The Supreme
Court did not think SO, and certainly
the people did not think so. They do
not think so row., and if Mr.. Stockton
is put up, they will bury him out of
sight with ballots.
We rave no grudge against Mr.. Stock
ton. We have the highest regard for
him in his present position; but all other
considerations are unimportant in view
of the great big difficulty of electing
him. We want to see the Democracy
carry the State this fall. We want to
see a man nominated who can win. We
do not want to see the campaign wreck
ed at it's outset with a glaring impos-
sibility and that is what the nomination
of Mr.. Stockton would amount to.
The safest nominee this year is one
who is not identified with the recent
politics of the State. For this reason
Secretary McAdoo would be a good man.
His nomination would wipe off the black
board all the humbug as well as all the
truth that the Republican promoters
have chalked upon it. He would run
on his own record and not on that of
Barney Ford ct al. The same is true
OF Chancellor McGill. He brings into
the campaign new blood and new life
and new Issues. Even Gus" Cutler
would be stronger than Stockton for

We had thought the claims of Union

was u~ndisputed. 1t certainly is, outside
of a Newark newspaper. Essex has some
fair roads and one or two good ones;
