FROM THE FIRST WARD.

windows.
James, chem Terrapin" are now
due, if in season. Quay is the man.

Just the same. =
We notice some of the young ladies
out upon their wheels early in the
morning for exercise. This, those
who have tried it say, is the most en-
ioyable time in the day for wheeling.
Business is booming at the quarries
Just below the city line. One can
Judge by the continual blasting which
is heard occasionally. There is also a
considerable number of men working
ut Moore's, who pass up and down the
street each morning and evening.
This makes quite walk for these men
as the distance is fully four miles each
way.
There is now and has been for some
time considerable work done at the
Centennial paper mill in the way of
clearing ont old machinery, pipes, en-
CINE, &c, preparatory to combining
this mill with the Mann paper mill adj
joining. When all is completed this
will make very largo addition to this
manufacturing plant.
All the vacant corners at the Lam
bertville Rubber Compnnys plant are
now occupied with bicycles. The
bicycle house which was formerly
used, is now doing duty as kind of
storage place for pipes, &c., and in
consequence, the wheels have to find
an anchorage wherever a convenient
place is found
There wasn't single patent medi-
cine or electric-belt fakir lynched last
year, but | am not certain whether
that is a sign of higher civilization
or of degeneration.
A man by the name of Stephenson
made the remark the other day, over
i'll New York, that he hoped the God
of wars would defeat the American
Arms in the PHILIPPINE Islands. Per-
| haps il was fortunate thing for Mr..
remark in his native city, Philadel-
phia. Some men keep up a continual
yelping at every attempt to move the
wheels of progress, like stub-iailed
eur swapping at the wheels of mn inn
migrant wagon, and when it moves in
spite of them, they claim il was their
barking that did it all
The Hibernia fire engine has one
of the new sprinkling MOBILES. Tho
same il not adapted to the working of
this kind of an engine as there is no
escape attachment to the engine.
These no22les are very handy ar
rangement where tho machine is so
arranged that the pressure can escape
while the change is being made. This
escape valve attachment could be put
upon this engine. but as the cost would
be considerable, some of the boys
think it hardly necessary.
These fine evenings is the kind of
weather that is suitable to the Curb
Stone Club and full attendance is
regularly present at the calling of the
roll. The political situation is argued
pro and con. All the politicians seem
happy over the success and victory
which was recently won. Ii WAS a
foregone conclusion that big Sam
would have to walk the chalk line, as
the clubs motto is, ''to the victor be-
longs the spoils, consequently we
may look for other changes.
We don't put much faith in the self
lauding politician. Most any fellows
portrait will look saint like if he is al
lowed TO paint halo around it,
All those who are fortunate or un-
fortunate enough to have a garden,
can now be seen over tho back fence
putting in an extra hour or two each
evening This, we find by experience,
is rather like work; but nice little
garden is one of the beauty-spots we
always love to see adjoining little
home. But, il requires considerable
labor and attention. One hour per
day spent i'll garden will not be
wasted and little harvest will be
reaped in due time which will more
than pay for ones trouble and labor
so spent.
Railroads thrive in proportion as the
people along their lines prosper, and
there is little lasting prosperity in
towns except where industries are
diversified. Business is business, and
often the question Of free site gains
mandatory for one town at the ex-
pense of another. The advantage of
the two being practically the same, it
is obvious that if the railroads that
own properties in the various counties
worked more harmoniously with the
citizens and boards of trade, they
would eventually get their reward in
the form of money paid to them for the
purpose for which they are in business
Singular how dim the eyesight of
the free trade newspapers are becom-
ing. The New England manufacturers
hive advanced the wages of one hun
bred and forty thousand hands ten per
cent. and not one word about it has
been mentioned i'll these papers. We
do hope the "Wage- Worker" will give
us few facts upon these important
matters.
Extract from Secretary Cages
speech at banquet given by the Man
haitian Company recently: "The out
look was never more favorable, in fact.
Unbounded confidence and unparallel-
ed prosperity is the order of the day
throughout the length and breadth of
the land" We merely make mention
Of these items for those who are poll
tically blind to them.
There isn't man in our city to-day
who is willing to work that cannot he
