spring, when nature, like q blushiug

The sweet south wind is breathing
upon the violet banks. Nearly 5000
years ago Solomon felt its genial iufu-
euce when he wrote "The winter has
passed-the rain is over and gone
the flowers appear upon the earth
the time for the singing Of birds has
come and the voice Of the turtle is
heard in the land" Now, boys, you
must not imagine that the turtle that
Solomon heard was this ugly, crawling
hardshell thing that lives IN muddy
water and lays its egge in the sand.
That is properly o tortoise. The tur-
tie Of Egypt and England is the same.

say turtle. when they mean dove.

But Solomon couldn't write. such
poetry on spring as I used to know.
I think that mine would suit the boys

Rufus Turner, of Lower Alloway Creek
captured an otter last week which weigh
ed 20 pounds. 1t was the largest one
ever heard of in that region. The hide
when stretched measured more than six
feet across it, Which is almost double the
usual size.
The Glass Works at Quinton have been
in the Trust for two or three years and
the workmen have been so prosperous
that they could live without work the

just started up by the workmen starting

for the use of the plant.

Warm Invitation.

An Iowa editor writes as follows
"This is August, the weather has
been rainy and things have swelled.
If you want to come in and pay your
subscriptions come anyhow. If the
door sticks kick it off the hinges, keep
coming till you get clear in. Don't
stop and ask if the editor is in keep
coming. don't stop coming till you
meet some one, then pay up, pay
more than up; pay ahead, take a
receipt any of us can write one. some
of us can write receipts with both
hands at once in the dark and count
money at the same time.
Don't be bashful about coming in,
don't stop to knock, just come. We
can write receipts with our toes and
eulogies on the man, woman,
or child that pays up this weather
with one hand and make change with
the other. Just try us; we are outer
than the devil at making change and
writing receipts, but he can do it if
we are not in.

The New Primary Law.

The work of preparing the petitions
by which candidates are nominated
for ward officers and for delegates to
conventions has already been COM
menced. AS might have been expected.
some have found this work compli-
Gated and difficult; others that it
requires little care and study, be-
cause of the new methods but easy to
understand and operate. Still others;
not as yet numerous, are scheming
how they can circumvent the reforms
which the law was specifically enacted
to secure.
Enough has already been learned to
establish two highly important facts.
One is that under the new law Re-
publicans will ne,nirate the Republi-
can candidates. Democrats will name
the Democratic tickets. and so on
through the list. There will be no
packing the primaries unless there is
wholesale perjury of the boldest and
most perilous character. The next
fact of significance is that any man
who wants a nomination a this party
primary may test his popularity by
getting ten voters to recommend him
for any Office he wants or as dele
gate. His name will then be put on
he primary ballots. The new law is.
in this respect, extremely liberal and
no man has cause to complain that he
is kept down by bosses or that he is
not given his rights.
The law will not work with equal
smoothness everywhere. Already
many little bitches have been encount-
cred, as in the matter of primary
officers. registry clerks. etc.. but it
should have a full and fair trial.
There has long been vigorous de-
mand and positive necessity for re-
form in the primaries in the direction
of publication, and this law is the
result. There will be friction and
fault-finding beyond doubt, just as
there is over the operation of every
law, but it's intent and purpose are so
excellent that patience should be ex-
ercised and abundant time given it to
ascertain if it is capable of attaining
the end for which it was enacted.

Newspaper Advertising.

Advertising space in a newspaper is
a commodity. 1t is thing Of value
20 the man who uses it. and he bar
gains for it as he would for any thing
else of value. If he needs it and be.
lleves it is worth the price asked for
it, he buys. If he does not believe
the bargain would be to his advantage
he refrains from buying.
Ii is exactly as if the merchants
were bargaining for any other thing he
needs IN his business. He makes his
choice of store fixtures and he selects
his stock by the same rule.
Just az in the case of the staple
goods that line his shelves and fill his
show cases and are piled on his
counters. the advertising space he con-
tracts for has value, based upon
quantity and quality.
The business man buys advertising
spaoeln sthe newspaper at a certain
price per inch, the price based upon the
circulation of the newspaper and the
quality Of. it's subscription list-quality
having particular reference to it's
availability for his purpose.
Ii it reaches the class of people he
specially desires to interest in the
kind of goods he has to sell, and
reaches the people in the locality in
which he specially desires to do bust
ness. and if it reaches more persons of
the kind he is looking for, in the
community he is interested in, than
another newspaper does, then it is
worth more to him. He pays accord
ingly.
Business men do not advertise lust
to help the editor along as they did
in the early days of the clarions of
cross roads. The advertising expense
account is part of the well-regu-
lated business, and it is gauged
with a view to making a profit out
of it.

Sang Tune and Arrested.

Vineland, N. j.. August 22.-AIl
Vineland is talking of how Miss
Florence Hoffman, a widely known
music teacher, sang herself to Court
and how she fixed things with the
Recorder so that her professional en-
gagements might not be interrupted.
Miss Hoffman had among her pupils
the wife of Artist Hotchkiss who is
one of the best known residents of the
borough. The work was progressing
finely to all appearance, and Miss
Hoffman presented. her bill Mr.. Hotch-
kiss was in doubt as to the amount
due, and he told the teacher there
was an error. He paid that he was
quite sure was.the correct amount,
but Miss Hoffman was not content
with it. and told him so. They were
apparently unable to settle the matter
amioably. for last night the fair
teacher was arrested and taken before
the Recorder on the complaint of the
artist.
"What is the charge asked the
Recorder.
"Using abusive language, said the
complainant.
"What was it all?"
She stepped in front of my house
on North Seventh street and sang
loudly so that all the neighbors could
hear her,
what did she sing?"
"She sang the ditty, why dom t
You Pay Your Debts. -
The Recorder frowned deeply and
looked at the culprit. who seemed
ready to laugh, but let it go at a
smile. 81 shall have to hold you for
further hearing" he said.
well, it will have to be Monday,
for tomorrow I must sing in the
Seventh Day Adventist Church. Z" re-
piled Miss Hoffman. affably. She en-
tered the necessary security for her
appearance and went gayly forth.

Trouble at Camp Meeting.

Pitman, Aug. 23.-There was excite.
ment that was far from being of a
religious nature at the camp meeting
that is being conducted near here by
a combination of white and negro
mission bands.
Isaac Emory, sof the Philadelphia
District of the A. M. E. Chucrch,
mounted the platform at the Auditor
ium last evening to conduct the SER
vice, but hardly had he started to
preach when his son. William Emory
announced that the sermon would be
dispensed with while Rev. George
Hereford delivered a short address on
"The ElevationEof.the Negro Race.
The Presiding Elder resented2 this
and the negroes in the congregation
quickly took sides. For few minutes
things were rather lively. William
Emory was orderedloff the grounds and
left for Philadelphia at once, accom-
panied by several who had been taking
part in the services.
Rev. Mr.. Hereford, finding that he
could not lecture at the camp meet.

born that he would address the CON

present to hear the address. Fl @.

II think he is dead,' until I was led
to believe that nearly all of them
were, but l assure you nothing has
ever given me more delight than to
find. in reading Woodruff's letter
that such good number of those
stouthearted men, who sacrificed so
much, when their country needed
their service. are like myself still on
this earth, and think they may re-
main here for many years yet. Cir
cumstances that I could not control
have kept me apart, for many years,
from those old comrades with whom

but their memory has always been
kept green in my mind, and nothing
can ever efface it while l retain my
faculties.
| The occasion that called forth the
interview above referred to, was the
receipt of letter from a state official,
making inquiry as to how many of the
old company were living and would
require transportation to the Battle
field at Antietam on Sept. II, next, to
witness the unveiling and dedication
of the beautiful monument placed
there by the state of New Jersey, to
commemorate and honor the deeds of
her brave sons, who laid down their
lives on that historic spot, and I earn
estly hope that every living member
of the cold Cumberland Grays'' as
they were originally called, can be
present on that eventful day, just Al
years after their gallant fight and ]
shall certainly be glad to grasp them
by the hand after such long interval,
for no officer ever commanded finer,
more honorable. self-sacrifcing and
