Two young men from the country,
who had literary leanings, decided to
move to the city and establish what is
now known as a Literary Bureau" "a
kind of institution which is doing q
fourishing business in northern and
western cities-its business being the
reading of manuscripts intended fol
publication. But they were short Of
funds, had rather a scantily furnished
Office and made poor appearance gen.
orally.
Then they borrowed a lot of furniture
and fixed up handsome offices. Business
came with rush, and so did a bill for
license to conduct that business-a bill
for S100-the license department being
greatly impressed by the splendidly fur
nished rooms, with the magnitude Of
the business done there.

QUITE proper and in order are the fol-
owing remarks in the Bordentown Reals
n: There is probably, no more import
ant and popular expenditure of money by
townships than that devoted to keeping
in frst-class order the sign boards at road
crossing. In Burlington county there has
been no disposition to ignore the rigid law
in this matter, but, nevertheless, MANY
township committees are delinquent. mas
much as they have permitted finger posts
to rot and fall and paid no attention to the
fact. There is probably an independent
fortune to the one who looks after the en-
forcement of the law relative to sign
boards in New Jersey" 1t is a disgrace
the way SOM of the sign boards are al
lowed to remain standing. Better take
them down altogether. In some instances
a board points in exactly the opposite di-
rection from which it should. Should
some traveller go out of his way he would
be perfectly justified in bringing suit
against the derelict township authorities
through whose negligence he was led as
tray. The law governing the mainte-
nance of sign boards is a good measure
and it should be rigidly observed. If the
township committees, whose duty it is to
keep these boards in good shape, do not
attend to the matter they should be com
PEELED to.

In the Senate, on Tuesday, Mr.. Martin
introduced a bill imposing a fine of $50 or
three months Imprisonment, or both, for
selling liquor to a minor except on a ply
sician's certificate.
The bill appropriating $3.50, 900 for stone
roads, was passed.
In the House the bill fixing the legal
rate of interest at five per cent, was
passed.
Mr.. Wright introduced No. 210, pre-
venting the importation of dairy COWS and
meat cattle for breeding purposes, except.
ing when such animals are accompanied
by a certificate from a duly competent in
spector charged with the control of dis
eases of domestic animals from whence
such animals came, certifying that they
have been examined and subjected to the
tu%berculin test and are free from disease.
On Wednesday, among the bills passed
was Senate 81, making it unlawful to re-
move shells from any natural oyster seed
grounds in the state.
A bill was introduced in the House
amending the ballot law by prohibiting
the use of pastors bearing more than one
name, which paster must be printed in
black ink upon blue paper.
Mr.. Mckee offered a concurrent reso-
luton providing for sine die adjourn
ment of the legislature on Thursday,
March 18th, at 2 o'clock. Mr.. Carroll Of
fered an amendment, fixing Friday,
March 10th, as the date and the amend

zion from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
This is even a more important increase
tnan appears at first glance, for the addi-
tional appropriation of fifty thousand dol
lars under the New Jersey law means an
annual increase in expenditure of $780,
oOo for the year, or an additional new road
mileage of 80 miles, or a total new road
mileage Of $50 miles of macadam road
throughout the State.
We heartily wish it could be said that
Pennsylvania were becoming civilized at
SO rapid a rate of progress. If from the
present bemired regions of Pennsylvania
excursions trains could be now carving
the people from their mudbogs to some
convenient point where they could catch
a glimpse of the perfectly dry stone roads
OF the adjoining State, and where the
Pennsylvanians could be shown the saw
ing in time, in horseflesh, in wear and
tear, in the heavy loads that can be
hauled almost anywhere in New Jersey
with one and two horses, loads which in
Pennsylvania could not be moved, if they
could be moved at all, with less thar six
horses, we believe that public sentiment
would speedily compel the sharing by
EPennsylvanians of the privileges and con-
veniences already enjoyed by the people
of New Jersey.-PhiLG. Inquirer.
