Their Ingenuity In Getting Around a Lo-
cal Hoosier Ordinance.
"As / stopped to change cars at
Princeton, Ind, - said gentleman who
has just arrived in the city from Ken
lucky, 81 was greatly puzzled at the
sight which met my eyes. Though my
home is near Princeton, had never
been in the town before and had no
personal knowledge of the people who
lived there. There was great silence at
the railway station, and, though many
persons were moving about, no one ut
tered word. Is it town of deaf
mutesp ] said to myself
"But presently my eyes were blinded
by many small mirrors, as it seemed to
me, casting dozen shadows in my eyes
from the hands of as many burly ne
groes 1t seemed no matter of fun to
them to cast these shadows. They were
grimacing, comforting their faces and
twisting their fingers in a manner
strange to see. No deaf mutes, but
lunatics, 1 said to myself, and began
to look for some safe means of exit.
But these dumb, grimacing creatures
were on all sides of the platform and as
/ advanced QUE way or the other those
at that point lunged toward me and l
saw was prisoner.
cit was frlghtful feeling for few
moments, and then rational explana-
ton of the scene was made. Conquering
my timidity. went boldly to one of
the biggest of the black men, and, seiz-
ing him by the shoulder, said, as a
hypnotist might say, What do you
mean by casting shadows in my eyes?'
The man caught me by the coat sleeve
and whispered in my ear: III tell you,
boss, but I has to whisper, cause we
amt allowed to talk You has to come
to me. can't come and git you. They
won t let us stand on the platform.
'Then found out that these silent
men had once been the vociferatiye,
shouting hackmen who make themselves
SO omnipresent on the platform stations
of most small towns. The good people
of Princeton determined to live in peace
and quiet, and, by act of the city coun-
Gil, they prohibited the hackmen from
using their voices. But even this did
not abate the nuisance. The hackmen
would run up to the train and almost
carry away their patrons by force. So
the city council passed law forbidding
them to stand on the platform. Deprived
of speech and power of locomotion,
these hackmen had happy thought.
Each one bought bright tin plate and
had the name of his hotel embossed on
the plate in raised letters. So they all
stand there, waving their tin plates and
never uttering a sound. st. Louis

A PIRATES FITTING END.
The Buccaneer EOlonnois Was Tortured
TO Death by Indians.

The Buccaneer LOlOnnois Was Tortured
TO Death by Indians.
In st. Nicholas, in his series of
sketches of 1.-THE Buccaneers of Our
Coast" Mr.. Frank r. Stockton tells of
the adventures of L'Olonnois, the
Frenchman. While coasting along Hon
duras L'OIonnois ran his vessel ashore.
Mr.. Stockton says:
AS it was impossible to get their
great vessel off the sand banks the pi-
rates set to work to break her up and
build boat out of her planks. But
when they began the work they had no
idea it would take so long to build a
boat. 1t was months before the un-
wieldy craft was finished, and they oc-
cupied part Of the time in gardening,
planting French beans, which were ripe
in about six weeks, and gave them some
fresh vegetables. They also had some
of the ships stores, and made bread,
thus managing to live very we'll.
L'Olonnois was never intended by
nature to be a boatbuilder, and when
the boat was finished it was discovered
that it had been planned SO badly that
it would not hold them all, so they
drew lots to see who should embark In
her, for one half Of them would have to
stay until the others came back VI
course L'Olonnois went in the boat, and
he reached the mouth of the Nicaragua
river. There his party was attacked by
some Spaniards and Indians, who killed
more than half of them and prevented
the others from landing. L'Olonnois
and the rest of his men got safely away,
and they might have sailed back to the
island where they had left their COM
rades, for there was now room enough
for them all. But instead they went to
the coast of Cartagena.
The pirates left on the island by their
heartless companions were rescued by a
buccaneering vessel, but L'Olonnois had
now reached the end of his wicked Ca
reer.
On the shores where be landed he did
not find prosperous villages and peace
full inhabitants to be robbed, but instead
he came upon a fierce tribe of Indians
called by the Spaniards "bravos, !"
or wild men. These people would never
have anything to do with the whites.
1t was impossible to conquer them or to
pacify them. They hated white men.
They had heard Of L'Olonnois and his
buccaneers, and when they found this
notorious pirate upon their shores they
were filed with fury such as they had
never felt toward any other of his race.
Nearly all of the buccaneers were
killed, and L'Olonnois, being taken
prisoner, was put to death with most
cruel tortures-a fate of which he had
no right to complain.

Chief of Police Nickerson, of Vine
land, who following the example of
Charles Keighley in accepting city job
without pay, made street cleaners out of
tramps, allowed nearly all the hoboes to
leave town Wednesday morning. Good
work was accomplished the first day, but
the men struck for higher compensation
than meals and lodging, and pleaded so
earnestly for their liberty that the officer
let them leave town. He cautioned them
that if they ever returned to Vineland he
would fasten ball and chain to each and
have every street in town cleaned. Some
of them actually left on run when
liberated.

CONGRATULATIONS are in order to Sena-
tor Edward G. Stokes, who has been ap-
pointed Clerk in the Court of Chancery.
For eleven years he has served the people
of his county-two years in the Assembly
and nine years in the Senate. His ap-
pointment to an office of honor and Pc
cuniary value is a fitting recognition of
the services of an able and worthy gentle
man. This appointment does credit to
Governor Voorhees,. who has not only
honored personal friend, but has be-
slowed an Office upon one for whom the
people of the entire state have great adj
miration. During the years he has been
in the Senate he has risen so far above
self, bearing in mind that there were
other sections than the ounty he was
chos11 especially to represent, that he has
for long tine been considered in the
light of a Senator al Large. He will be
sadly missed in the position he has for
years SO acceptably filled, and this fact is
already realized by the people of Cumber-
land, who inaugurated movement to at
tempt to induce the Senator to again be
tn cir standard bearer in the race for re-
election, fearing defeat unless he should
be at the head of the ticket. We are
glad Senator Stokes has accepted the pc
sition rendered him, one which will re
lieve him from the annoyances {of caucus
and convention, and remove him from the
shafts of envy and malice thrust at him
by that class governed more by spite than
by the welfare of the party That he has
withdrawn from personal canvass does
not for moment mean that he has retired
from politics. He will never cease to be
an ardent, earnest Republican, working
to the utmost limit of his health and
strength for the party he loves and of
whose principles he has always been
staunch advocate. While he will not be
member of the New Jersey Senate in per-
son, his counsel in matters of state will be
eagerly sought and will be freely given.
The Newark News, in few words, pays
glowing tribute to the new Clerk. 1t
says: Governor Voorhees,, in appointing
Senator Stokes Clerk in Chancery, has not
only bestowed desirable position upon
warm personal friend, but has made a
selection which the public will cordially
approve. Mr.. Stokes has been faithful
and conscientious in his public career,
and in his course as member of the
Legislature has seldom failed to meet the
requirements of his Office. The people
have faith in Senator Stokes because he
has kept faith with the people"

There is CONSERVATION in the camp of
the gamblers of New Jersey over the at
titude of Governor Voorhees, in seeking
legislative aid to put them put of business.
The Governors ire was aroused by the
remark of the recent Grand Jury in Hud-
son County. Information had come to
the Governor which convinced him that
there were gambling establishments in
Hudson County. He employed two de-
tectives to investigate, and they secured
enough evidence to warrant the indict-
ment of the suspected persons, in the
mind of the Governor. When the Grand
Jury sat these detectives went before il
with the evidence. A juryman asked one
of the detectives how he became interested
in the matter. He replied that he was
employed by the Governor to get the
evidence if he could.
what in hi has the Governor got to
do with affairs in Hudson County ?" asked
the juryman.
The query was transmitted to Governor
Voorhees,, and he decided to have law
passed that would give him absolute
power to punish promoters of gambling
establishments He had the bill intro
duced in the House last Tuesday for that
purpose and it passed on Wednesday with
only few dissenting votes. 1t also
passed the Senate.
The proprietors of the big gambling
houses at Long Branch are quaking in
their boots They have thousands. upon
thousands of dollars invested in the bust
ness there, and the Governors law means
the ruin of their trade.

Notes and Opinions.

That-is remarkable statement which
comes from Sheffield, England, to the
effect that the managers of the great steel
works of William Jessop 81 Sons contem-
plate establishing plants for certain
branches of their trade in the United
States. 1t was stated further that the
combination of the steel manufacturers
in the United States had forced this
action. This does not look on the face of
it as if the gigantic steel combination
which is in process of formation on this
side was going to monopolize that in
dustry here, whatever effect it may have
on the trade in Europe.
According to the New York Journal Of
Commerce New Jersey is poor field for in
surance operations. 1t quotes the reports
of the Commissioner of Banking and In
surance of this state to show that the fire
premiums of all companies aggregated
81, 46S, 1850. as against losses incurred of
So, 951, $3.50. As, and says:
Charging up the extravagant cost of New
Jersey business in conjunction with a pro
rata of home Office expenses it is easy to
see that the expense ratio was no less than
40 per cent. or say $1.750,0 600 The fire
underwriters, therefore, sunk far more
than million dollars in the state. The
New Jersey companies Jared very well,
comparatively. with $9ss, 6O7.77 in losses
as against 1851, s6s.5S in premiums. but
