Back After Thirty Years.

There was unusual rejoicing in Uncle
Dave" Hamill's home, up in Hardwick
township Warren county, on Monday. For
the past thirty years Dave has lived
almost life of solitude and has spoken
very little to any one, and never a word
to his wife Sarah Am, who il thu moth VI
of two sons and one daughter.
Itwls in the fall of 1866, when NJ ,rcu,
L. Ward was candidate for G ,vsrn or,
that ''Uncle Dave" "laid himself out" in
behalf of the Republican ticket. He
worried night and day for his friend Ward,
having some sort of an acquaintance with
the War Governor and conceiving great
personal fancy for him as man. His
wife cam of good Democratic stock, be-
log Sussex county girl, aud her hus-
bands enthusiasm did not suit her at all
She found great deal of fault with David
and finally the old man got mad and a
family row was the result The boys
cbimed in with their mother aud with
their combind aid they "fred. the old
man. as they termed him. out of the
house. telling him he might go and live
with Marcus Ward if he wanted to.
He then and there declared that after
Wards time was out, if the Republicans
did not elect the next Governor he would
never return home until they did. Hamill
built himself rude house, Just large
enough to accommodate himself, aud
there he has lived all these years. His
people tried time and time again to effect
a reconciliation, but without effect. They
would talk to him, but he never said q
word. All their efforts we're in vain,
until last fall. when the news of the elec,
tion of Governor Griggs reached him
through country newspaper. Then he
was changed man, and in a short time
be told neighbor to say to the .old
woman" that as soon as Governor Grigps
got into his chair he would ,ms home.
He returned to his old homs Tuesday
morning.

The Yule Log.

In some parts of Germany the Yule
log is placed on the hearth on Christ
mas eve and if possible kept burning
for two or three days. Then a piece Of
it is laid aside for the purpose of light
ing the next years log and of guarding
the household from harm. Pieces of fir
wood charred but not quite burnt out
in the Christmas fire are also placed un,
der the family bed in some German vii
lagos to avert the dreaded lightning
stroke, which appears in this relation tc
be the type of fire i'll its evil aspect, il
contradistinction from the solar orb, the
representative of beneficent light and
warmth. The custom of burning Yule
log for three days and nights in each
homestead is almost certainly survival
from the alteration once offered to the
sun at the winter solstice.
Three centuries after the Christian
era sun worship was still maintained in
Brittany, and in Normandy not more
than 100 years ago the household fire
was extinguished on Dec. "a and the
Christmas log was ignited by the aid oi
a flame procured from the lamp burning
in the neighboring church. This fact af
fords a curious instance of the probable
transferenee of respect and reverence
from the sacred fire of purely heathen
creed to the ecclesiastical lights of Ca
tholicism. When the pagan rites for pro
curing unsullied fire We're forbidden Oh
fell into desuetude, the ideas to which
they owed their origin and development
instead of perishing, continued to exist
more or less perfectly by attaching
themselves to usages and ceremonies
having no direct association with them

WHY THE PATRoLMEN MISSED.
An Old Time Match With Revolvers In
the Tender1oin Police Station.

An Old Time Match With Revolvers In
the Tender1oin Police Station.
"The recent order of the police board
that all patrolmen shall become prof.
cient in the use of the revolver" said a
retired sergeant. reminds me of lit
tie target practice that took place in the
cellar of the Tenderloin station house on
West Thirtieth street three years ago.
There was quite sporty crowd of pa
trolmen doing duty in that precinct in
those days, and there was always pok-
er game i'll the off platoon. The game
was run on the dead quiet of course and
was played in small room in the cellar
used ordinarily for storing ballot boxes
and other election paraphernalia. The
boys smuggled stove down there, and
poker table that was seized in raid
on gambling house was corralled and
placed in the room.
Now, there were two wardmen do
ing duty in the Tenderloin then, and as
they had no regular hours they were
able to play along with each platoon
without interruption. They were a cou-
pie Of pretty slick fellows, and it was
only matter of time when they d have
all the money on the table. Eventually
it got so that the patrolmen wouldn't
play with them any more, and this
source of revenue cut off, they hit on the
idea of shooting at target with revolv-
ers at 25 cents a shot. Now, some of
these coppers were crackajacks with pis-
tolls, and they seized the opportunity
thus offered to win back the money they
had lost at poker. So one night a to-
mato can was set up at one end Of the
long cellar, and a lighted candle was
placed beside it. Then the men began to
shoot. Only two pistols were used, but
every time patrolman shot he missed,
while the wardmen bored hole in the
can each time.
Every night for a week the men
would shoot, and always with the same
result The wardmen were winning
about $40 apiece a night, when the game
came to sudden end. One of the patrol
men suddenly opened the pistol which
wardman had handed him to shoot
with and found it loaded with blank
cartridges Then there was howl, and
the bad shooting of the platoon was ex-
planned. The other pistol, which the
wardmen had been using, was loaded
with 80 caliber bullets, and as both were
good shots of course they plumbed the
can each time. The patrolmen threaten
ed all sorts of things, but the wardmen
only laughed and held on to the money
they had won. There was no use kick
ing to the captain about it, for he'd
have preferred charges against every
mothers son Of them for gambling in
the station house, and SO the patrolmen
swallowed their loss and let the matter
drop. But it was long time before they
got over it, and some Of them are laying
for chance to get even to this day. y

Men and Women as Students.

Gentlemen of the Senate and General

With these brief and simple ceremonies
the executive administration of the state
passes from my predecessor to a new in

Trite though the remark may be, it can
not be too often repeated, that the public
officer is merely the trustee of the common

superior to all other considerations, of 10y

The Inauguration of John W. Griggs
as Governor of New Jersey marks new
epoch in the history of the State. and is
the compile realization of the remarkable
victory secured last fall by the people at
the polls. The fact that not only the
executive branch of the State government,
but the legislative as we'll, was placed so
euphatically under Republican control,
places responsibility upon the party
that nill demand its best powers to meet
and discharge with acceptance and credit
ahla service, Such a remarkable achieve
ment in a State like New Jersey was
more than a partisan triumph, and the
tenure of the lease of power thus con-
ferred will depend largely upon the WORK
done at Trenton this winter. Every iEdl'
cation thus far given by Gov. Griggs OF
his conduct of the State administration
only tends to confirm the opinion tnat
expressed itself in his signal election,
wbich has been greatly strengthened by
his first official utterance. 1t now re
mains for the Legislature to iail In hne
and heartily second the efforts OF the
Goveruor in the direction of the reforms
so plainly and wisely outlined in his
inaugural address. The one given most
prominence was in reference to restric-
tion of the volume of legislation, which
has teen greatly augmented in recent
years by special acts, notwithstanding
the constitutional prohibition against
them, "The mass of statute laws" be
says, "has become 80 immense that IL
NAV be said to be almost beyond the
power of the legal mind to acquire II. OF
the judicial mind to interpret it. Ine
capti IN to the Legislature was timely,
and it will no doubt be backed up oy the
veto pen If necessary. The encroachment
of trolley lines on the highways OF tne
State and the running of cars without
regard to the safety of the public are
referred to the Legislature for action.
The abolition of steam railway grade
crossings and the prevention of the pol
iutiou of streams which are source OF
water supply to cities or towns are among
the matters of special moment to which
Governor Griggs thinks the Legislature
ahould rive its immediate attention. The
address as q whole is good beginning
and win prepare the State for an admin
isss.tion intent on reforming abuses and
ps.,ec.;pg the public.
