The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Beasley, who for the tenth time, swore in q governor of the state of New Jersey. The ceremony took place on the opera house stage, on which the mem bers of the legislature were seated.
 Ex-Governor Werts formally presented to him the great seal of tho state, saying, as he did so, that never had the state so emphatically designated a man to receive it as 1t did when it elected Mir. Grlggs.
 The governor then delivered his address. which was n terse, brief and businessliko presentation of state issues.
 At the conclusion of the ceremonies Gov ernor GriRgs, ez-Governor Werts and the state officers and members of the legisla- ture went to the reviewing stand, from which they reviewed the inaugural parade, WHICH ~nuu slhTleu III llinC io TSsiCH NIlt stand shortly after the arrival of the gov ernor. The parade was purelya a civic one, in deference to the wishes of Governor Griggs.
 There were over c, ,000 men in line, chief ly from Essex, Camden, Mercer, Passaic, Sussex, Union and Hudson counties. The parade was under the marshalship of Colonel Thomas $. Chambers of this city, who is adjutant to General Sewell.

CANAAN, CONN.

DO, land together to my people. He will not know, and cannot follow.
 "Yes. tomorrow. And SD returned his kiss and went back to PIetro.
 The next morning Pietro was unwell Nothing serious, he said; his head ached a little, and he was tired and needed rest. He would stay at home until the evening, and would then go to Cazzio's and play dominoes as usual, and be all right again ill the morning So that day Tessa pushed the organ about the streets without assistance.
 But during part of the morning she rested and talked to Fillipo, who seemed to have forsaken his barrow to follow her. Their talk resulted in some agree ment, for, as he left her he said:
 "Then, Tessa, l will be waiting at B with the tickets. And remember we must catch the boat, and you must manage that Pietro is out, '" and she re- plied
 II will get it; he will be at Cazzio's 1t g."
 At dark she returned to the court, and, as she passed, Fillipo nodded to her from the shadow of the corner and  showed two tickets.
 She climbed mp the rickety staircase to the room she had shared with Pietro. He was not there; it must be done at once.
 She crossed to the corner near the window. The board moved easily, and she felt for the tin box, and found it, and carried it to the lamp.
 The box was very light, and fear came to her as she opened it and saw that it was empty save for fold of dirty paper.
 With trembling fingers she undid the paper, and held it to the lamp and read the words:
 "Goodby, Tessa. have decided not to wait for the fogs. We will share now and part. You shall have Fillipo and the money that was here. Goodby," written in Pietro's rude scrawL
 Fillipo waited long at the cor1ier, and at last crossed to the house, and, learning from the woman standing at the door that Pietro was out, walked up the stairway and into the, room.
 Then he, too, read the paper, and his sorrow was joined to Tessa 's.-- Edgar $. Turner in Sketch.

HOW EASILY THINGS GO WRONGl

Alasi how easily things 20 wrong, A sigh too much or a kiss too long, And there follows mist and weeping rain, And life Is never the same again. Alasi how hardly things go riRhtl '1is hard to watch on a summers night, For the sigh will come, and the kiss will stay, And the summers night is winters day. And yet how easily things go right. If the sigh and the kiss of winters night Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray That is born in the light of the winters dayi And things can never go badly wrong If the heart be true, and the love be strong, For the mist, if it comes, and the weeping
 rain
 Will bo changed by the love into sunshine
 again.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The announce ment of the appointment of General Va leriano Weyler ns civil captain general of Cuba was received at Cuban headquarters hero as confirmatory of the view they had already expressed upon tho news of Cam. pos retirement, that thcro has been n radi- cal change in the policy of the Spanish cabinet, and that henccforth there is to bc reign of blood and terror in Cuba. Tho change in the cabinet itself, in the retiru- ment of the Duke of Telunn and thu sucf cession of Senor Elbuayen as minister of foreign affairs, is regarded as still further oonflrmatory of this fact
 General Wcyler is n veteran soldier and has had his own experience in revolutions. for he followed the fortunes of the Spanish army In Cuba for years during the last revolution, with tho rank of colonel, and earned for himself dreadful rcputatlon as man of blood and iron.
 Moreover, the Cuban leaders here hint at acts of cruelty to women and defense. less prisoners on his part in tho past in a fashion that augurs i'll for the rebels who come within his power this timo, and they predict that he will soon become Involved In trouble with the United States govern ment as the result of the III treatment of American citizens who may bc unfortu- nate enough to fall under suspicion.
 General Wcyler quilted Cuba soon aftor the suppression of tho last rebellion and has since dwelt in Spain, holding the Inns portant command of captain general of the province of Catalonia
