Jersey JournaIism's Jaunts,

The first regular newspaper, pub
lished in New Jersey, the New Jersey
Gazette, was issued from Burlington
on December 8, 1876 years ago. Isaac
Collins, Quaker, was the founder
Of the publication. It did not long
have the field to itself, fer within a
year the New Jersey Journal was es-
tablished at Chatham by David
Franks. Collins, the father of New
Jerseys fourth estate, was a printer,
and had a printing Office in Burling-
ton for several years before he under
took the publication of a newspaper.
Twelve years before the Gazette ap-
peared paper called the Constitu-
tional Courant was issued in Burling-
ton "by Andrew Marvel, at the sign
Of the Bride Refused, on Constitution
Hill, North America" Only one num-
Der was issued, and while the Courant
was printed in New Jersey it was cir
culated principally in New York. The
real publisher was William Goddard,
who later published a paper in Phila-
delphia. The Courant bitterly attacked
the British government, and was
promptly suppressed.

In the days when the inspector was
trooper (said he) he took a savage
black fellow-meaning by this a
black fellow of some uncivilized bush
for the murder of a white squatter.
The slaughter of one black fellow by
another is relatively a thing of small
consequence; the eborigine who
achieves this savage eclat Is chastened
by an easy detention of year or two
and liberated to his tribe. But to
spear white man is crime most
heinous and intolerable. 1t Is visited
with a pursuit which seldom stops
short of capture or death at bay
in the open-a chase of a thousand
miles, 1t may be, and quick, grim &C
tion at the end of IT, arrest or the
alternative. Having now with vast
satisfaction taken his savage, the in
spector made haste back with him to-
ward his station to dodge the impend-

On the Road.

A Yankee tourist spending a holi-
day in Dublin happened to be riding
motor bicycle on a road that leads
to the town Of Bray. Seeing an Irish
man riding an ass toward the city
and thinking to have a joke with him,
he dismounted, and, approaching Pat,
exclaimed:
