The Public Eye.

Atchinson Globe: There is probably
no other influence that causes SO much
evil as the baleful influence of the pub
lie eye. Take, for instance, girl
who can recite. AS soon as she has
been encored on the stage she becomes
a nuisance to her family and a bore
to the public. The public eye has af-
fected her, and she will never again
be content with her corner. The
officeholder who refuses to retire to
private life after he has once held office
is another victim. The singer who
keeps on singing at amateur entertain
ments when she is a grandmother is
another. The cheap actresses who be-
gan their downward career at school
exhibitions are also victims. The
public eye has more victims than
whisky, and they are greater men
ace to community, for the reason
that they sign no pledges and make
no efforts to reform.

Running On Time.

As illustrating the degree of eff
cheney to which the present manage
ment of the B. & o. R. R. has
brought its motive power equipment
and esprit de corps of the operating
staff, we call attention to the fact
that during the months of April,
May and June the passenger trains
and fast freight trains have almost in
variably arrived at their respective
destinations on schedule time. The
very few exceptions to the general
rule were due to causes inseparable
from railway operation, and against
which no forethought can wholly
guard. 1t may be safely said that
during the period named no road in
America, comparable in magnitude to
the B. & o., can surpass its record
for punctuality in train NOV ement.

Geo. w. DeGrange Dead.

Mr.. George w. DeGrange, one Of
our best and most highly respected
citizens, who has been suffering a
great deal lately from bladder trouble,
died last Friday night, at 9 o'clock in
the Garfield hospital in Washington,
where he had undergone an operation
for his trouble. The operation which
was performed on the 10th of July,
was considered successful and he be-
gan to rally and was doing nicely un-
til Thursday before his death when he
became seriously i'll and never recov-
cred. Mr.. DeGrange was a native of
Frederick county, Va, but spent most
of his life here, having moved to this
city more than forty years ago. He
married Miss Ellen Wolfe here, in
1855. He was formerly an engineer
on the B. & o., which employment
he resigned near the close of the war
to enter the mercantile business,
continuing it until about years ago.
Since then he has led a retired life.
He served several terms in the city
council, and was well known through
out the neighborhood. A wife and
eight children survive him. The re-
mains were brought to this city Sat-
urday afternoon, and the funeral took
place from the home, corner Maple
avenue and King street, at ago Sun
day afternoon. Rev. J. A. Hoffheins,
of the Reformed church, of which the
deceased was member, assisted by
Rev. Price, of the First NJ. E. church,
oficiated. The interment was made
in Green Hill cemetery,
