NEWJERSEY POLITICAL NOTES

1t would be unwise for the Democrats Of the

probability that the intention of Justice Fort TO

forced, will lead the proprieors OF these houses TO
turn against the Republican party In the next cleo
ton. and lend the weight of their purses and their
influence to the Democratic ticket. There is no
more doubt that the gamblers have been some

than there IS that they have been Of service to
both Democrats and Republicans in carrying such
elections. But their place as a force IN State and

one of the daintiest plants imaginable,
it's leaves are hardly visible amidst the
numerous bell-shaped flowers which
have so fragile hold upon life that a
day spans their existence. and their
fallen petals cover the ground with a
carpet fit for fairly dances.
The gentian Ochrolenca is in no wise
beautiful, for, as it's name indicates, it is
greenish- white in color; but the blue
gentiau is ever treat to the eye. Its
hue is unlike any other in nature unless
it be the deep blue of an Italian sky.
Remaining, as it does. until all else
bright has departed, it stands among the
dry, brown grass and leaves, it's face
turned trustingly heaven-ward, a symbol
of faith and hope gratefully welcomed by
hearts under the spell Of autumn's
gloomy influences.
Christmas decorations are amply pro-
vided for by the time-honored holly and
the mistletoe with it's white, waxy fruit,
which, though differing from the Eng

exhaustive, as only the flowers and

OLDER THAN THE NATION.
A Native Of North Carolina Now in New

was so fatiguing that it was feared that
the old man would sde from the effects
of the kindnesses Showered upon him
by the visitors.
Raby says that he was born April l,
1772. He remembers to have heard
General George Washing ton make an
address at Yorktown about the veal

century he joined the United States
