Something to Enow.It may be worth something to know

that the very best medicine for restoringthe tired out i.ervoua system to a healthyvigor is Electric Bitters. This medicineIB purely vegetable, acts by giving toneto the nerve centres in the stomach,gently stimulates the liver and kidneys,and aids these organs in throwing offimpurities in the blood. Electric Bittersimproves the appetite, aids digestion,and is pronounced, by those who havetried it as the very best blood purifierand nerve tonic. Try it.

Communication.DEAR Mn. EDITOR :

I told yon so. When I epoke of eornpeople who were after the profits, thJournal man jumped up and gave himself away badly. He holds up thalmighty dollar and attempts to mahyou believe that adding another bellhole will not lower the moral standanof Hammonton.

His reference to Noah was very nofortunate for bis attempted argumentfor we read that Noah made wine amimmediately got d runk ; and all tbevils of human slavery resulted from thicurse pot on bis son during that spreeSo it has always been, that be whomakes wine drinks wine; and tbe eviconsequences fall not only On him buon those with whom he associates.

Our friend also acknowledges that tbepak easies are an evil; but with the

game' breath he says, in substance,,hat to close them would bring him no"tin," so he will direct his energy for

the wine-vat. No, Mr. Editor, if myarguments accomplish anything, I willget no pay here but the praise of honor-able people and the blaguardism of thosewho did their'worst to force upon anunwilling people a wine-vat.

It's all very well to claim that aicensed hotel is more genteel than apeah-eaey. You can procure liquor at

a bar until you become a heavy drinker;hen they are compelled by law to stopelling to you. Then of course you stop

drinking,— the Journal man will tellron so. But you don't; you go to thepeak-easy. Three plus four equals

nineteen. That's according to theJournal; they say that the apeak-easya the worse of the two. That's HNe allheir "arguments"; they are suitable"or men who have no reasoning capacity;readers who have not only good morals)ut a reasonable amount of intellect

give up in despair as to the point oitheir wisdom.

Personally, I do not know that thereare nny epeak-easies in Hammonton,for I have no line, for their goods; bulif the Journal man knows of such, it ishis duty to try to close them up.

A panting woman, with a dingyshawl thrown over her head, met herItalf way down. Some luijtinct Intangi-ble and undefined, seemed to tell eachwhat she wished, yet dreaded to learn;for no words were spoken, no questionsasked. Their hands met In unspokensympathy, and band In hand they de-scended the hill.

They paused on the bluff, strainingtheir eyes In hopes of seeing a darkspeck crawl out under the shadow ofthe cliffs. A boat was moving outwardtoward the deeps where the conger lay,and the girl's heart grew bitter againstIts occupant, nnd the tiny band of goldupon her wrist seemed to scorch herflesli.

When they stood below the creakingsign of the Merry Mariners the womanhung back, and looked at her plteously.

"I'll go In," said Kitty, touching thewoman on the arm.

There was a sudden hush as thewhite-faced girl tottered In and gave ahurried glance around.

"Is—la he here?" she gasped. "I—Imean "

An old hag, seated In the far cornerof the room, bared her toothless gumsand uttered a cracked laugh.

SURCHARGED STAMPa

Crrcgnlar Profits of Public Officers InDealing -with Collectors.

Three years ago the Times drew at-tention to the subject of surchargedstamps In a lengthy article, says Cham-bers' Journal. Lord Rlpon hnd caused aCircular to be sent from the colonialoffice In order to put down the abusesconnected with the sale of "surcharg-ed stamps," which hnd proved a temp-tation to postmasters and treasurersand other public officers, by making ir-regular profits in dealing with stampcollectors and others. The remedy forthis state of matters is to keep a suf-ficient supply of stamps on hand, andthen there w6uld be no necessity topractice "surcharging."

It appears that when in certain case*It became known that a stamp was get-:ting scarce agents of the stamp dealerwould at once buy up the stock and ask,for more. The colonial postofflce, in or-der to get over the delay Involved inprocuring fresh supplies, would printon dearer stamps than those whichwere exhausted the price of those whlcbjwere asked for. For instance, a three-penny stamp becomes a half-penny onftand a four-penny stamp a two-pennyone. A stamp thus altered in value. Issaid to be "surcharged" and a rush lamade for this by the dealer. Thesefind their way Into collections at 60 on100 per cent, over their value. A Parisdealer Is said to have kept a sum of£1,000 "placed" at different postofflceawith Instructions to local postmastersto send on specimens to that valuuwhenever a new stamp or a fresh sur-charge was made. A London dealerone day received a remittance for12s. Cd. in half-penny postage stampsfrom some one In Fiji who was In debtto him for that amount. The stamps,being all surcharged, were sold forabout £15.

It will be remembered that the repub-lic of Liberia, on the west coast of Afri-ca, not having ready cash to pay the ex-penses of its delegate to tho Chicagoexhibition, gavo htm a supply of post-age stamps to sell to the beat advan-tage. It appears that this negro repub-lic depends largely on tho Bale of[stamps for, paying Its way, and thestamps, beautifully engraved In Lon-don, are largely sold to stamp collec-tor.s. When the North Borneo CompanyIssued a finely engraved stomp In 1804,In six weeks th e wholesale dealersturned over fi!,000 worth of them. Onedealer went In for £800 worth, another£-100, and two for £1,200 between them,

nUMOROUS PARAGRAPHS FROMTHE COMIC PAPERS.

So long ns there are writers of booksIhere will be many who will never re-lort to the painstaking labor of Words-worth, ns indicated In the journal of.Dorothy Wordsworth: "William hnstome back tired; he 1ms spent all thoBay In thinking of an adjective for thetuekoo."

Max Haddad, who now lives In re-irement !n Worcester, Mass., wasformerly a'favorite Jockey of tho king»f Roumunia. His majesty had theimbitlon to have In his body guard ofJkllled riders men of nearly every na-tion of the world. Haddad, a Syrianby birth, was one of tlfese. Tho seven-teen riders alwn^'s accompanied theking on his official tours about Galutz.

Connn Doyle tells a story of n trlend»f his wlio had often been told thatthere Is a skeleton In the cupboard ofevery household, no matter how re-spectable that household may'be; nndhe determined to put this opinion to a

, practical tost. Selecting for the sub-ject of his experiment a venerablearchdeacon of tho church, againstwhom the most censorious critic hadnever breathed ajvvord, he went to thedearest postotHce and dispatched t h i ntelegram to tho reverend gcntlemnn:,"All is discovered I Fly nt once!" Thearchdciico'n disappeared and has neverbeen heard of since.

The lute eccentric, Sir John Shaw,one day Invited two gentlemen fromEdinburgh to dine with him at OarnockAs was the custom of the tlmo, theyappeared before dinner .In knee-breeches, silk stockings and thin shoes.Tho weather being line, Sir John in-vited them to take a turn In the gar-den. Civilly and thoughtlessly theyfollowed their host and soon foundthemselves skipping among nettles andthistles, to the great discomfort of theliunfortunate calves. Sir John, who wasclad, as usual, In corduroy breecheannd top boots, said to them, with politegravity: "Step oot, step oot, gentle-men, ye'll no hurt my (lowers!"

Mr. I. ZaiiRwlll, author and critic,tells about himself: "1 was marriedIn Vcntnor, at least so I gathered fromthe local newspapers, In whose vis-itors' lists there ligured the entry,'Mr. and Mrs. Zangwlll.' I do not careto correct It, because, the lady beingray mother. It Is perfectly accurate,nnd leads to charming misconceptions.There, that's be,' loudly whispered ayoung man, nudging his sweetheart,'and there's his wife with him.' 'That!Why, Bhe looks old enough to be hismother,' replied tho young lady. 'Ah!1

said her lover, with an air of consciousvirtue, and a bettor bargain, 'they'reawfully morcrnnry, these literarychaps!'"

George Dolby, manager of CharlesDickons on one of his reading tours Inthis country, Is ntlll living, imd tin*London correspondent of tho ChicagoRecord reports at length Home of Dol-by's renihiliici'iicPH. Among othi'ithings tho quondam manager Kays:"lie was tho kindest-hearted man Iever have known. Many nnd many ntlmo whllo on tour we came across oldnKMoclatt's of his who wore down ontheir luck.

cord she addresses it to her "suffering sisters," and while from modesty shoasks to withhold her name, she gives her initials and street number inChambersburg, Pa., so she can easily be found personally.or by letter:

To my Suffering ;Sisters:—Let me write' this for your benefit, telling yonwhat LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has1 done forme. I am butnir*jteen arid suffered with painful menstruation, leucorrhcea, dizziness, bum-

. ing sensation back of ears and on top of my head, nervoiisness, pain andsoreness of muscles, bearing-down pains, could not sleep well, was unableto stand without pain, and oh! how I longed to be well!

One day I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham telling- her all, knowing I could do soin perfect confidence.

She wrote me a. lovely letter in reply, telling me exactly what to' do.After taking nine bottles of the Compound, one box of Liver pills, and using1

one-half package of Sanative wash, I can say I am cured. I am, so happy,and owe my happiness to none other than Mrs. Pinkham. _ >

upon hy Department, make an. inte.lli-?ent report upon tho agricultural condi-ions of i the country to which he io

The Secretary claims thathe haa areat difficulty in obtaining 8pe-cific and technical information from'most foreign cooaulates when wantedor tbe bvneSt of the agriculturists iu>this country. All foreign countries, he-•ays, have their representatives of agri-lulturo here to gain the benefit of thexperiments conducted by this govern-

The unwieldy Republican majority iathe last Legislature — the last tbt*elegislatures for thai matter — has been

distinct element of party weakness.Having practically no opposition, themajority has been dilatory, heedless,and neglecttul of duty. A good strongminority is necessary in order to keepthe Dia.ioritv up to its work, and weventure ilio -prediction that the nttwLegislature will show the healthful in-luenee of a substantial opposition, inthe improved character oi its work.

Early in October President McEinleydirected the members ot his cabinet toreduce their d> partment estimates loCongress to an economical basis. Thisis a move in ibc riaht dliection. Presi-dent Cleveland urged upon Congressthe necessity of tconomy, while at thesame time the ostl mates from depart-ments continued to bo extravagantPresident McKinloy has begun at theright place, as Congress IB naturallyinfluenced more by these estimates, inrnakiug appropriations, than by tlioPresident's advice.

When completed, tho sale of UnionPrtfitic Railroad will have paid back tothe Government principal uud intereslat Big pur cent. This "Investment'was niiulo about thirty yi-ara ago, anchow many investments of Urn I length otime could have punned out better?When thu national advautui;oa resultingfrom the construction of this road uroconnidored, thu investment ou the partof the United Status Would not huvbeen a bud ono if no part of tbe princi-pal or liiterKHt lui'l bmiu repaid, Illsprobable, however, that Democraticwallers will continue to talk about, the"btval" tbut ha*) been perpetrated.

ZSF" A t the Baptist Church on Sundayevening Pastor J. C. Killian preached apowerful sermon to a very large audience,—taking no text, but giving from thoBook itself, from the writings of menwho followed its teachings, and fromanalogy, strong reasons why the Bibleshould bo believed, and tho God fromwhom it proceeded be trusted, lovecand obeyed. Alter the closing prayeran after meeting "of fifteen minutes'waafcalled ; but it lasted thirty or moro—no one know how long, because of itsintensely interesting developments. Anumber of new converts then, for thefirst lime, by words or otherwise, confotsed Christ, and so thrilled thoassembly that timo was forgotten. Muchgood was done I hero, and several worebroucht to a thoughtful mood who havehabitually ignored the claims of religionThe good work in going on, apd If to-morrow developH continued Interest,special nicotine may bo announced fornext week.

Story of a Mocking Bird.A correspondent of the Indiana Far«

mer gives an interesting account of thocareer of a mocking bird ("Pet") whichhe domesticated.

While Pet endured her master, shehated mankind, and despised birds ingeneral. Especially did she desplsopoorly dressed men.

A number of laboring men passedthe house every night, going homefrom work. Pet would station herselfIn a tree until they were only a fewfeet away. Then she would fly to thesidewalk and run toward them, usffigthe worst mocking-bird language pos-Blble; and If they attempted to catchher she would dart through a con-venient hole In the fence.

There was a young man in tho UOUROguilty of a love for whistling. Petwould begin to Bqunll as BOOH as flhosaw him approaching tho house.

Once she defended her mlstroHB froma rat that flwl from her outstretchedwlnga and sharp bonk.

On cool and damp weather she cameInto the houue. Sometimes In pleasantweather she roosted In ono of the bigtrees.

Thoro wcro a groat many birds atthe house, iincl a cnrlouH catbird UHOC!to coiuo daily, to InveHtlgato -the Btatoof affairs and to steal anything hocould conveniently pull out of thocages, Ho tried to mako friends -withPet, and would bring Biich choice dnln-tics at fat spiders and earth worms,

accepted tho offerings, though shewould not take them from his beak.lie ha<l to lay thorn down and Btopaway, when she would gobble them up.lint after treating her In tho kindestmanner for a couplo of seasons, ho(jnvo up tho courtship.

Tho thlill year B!IO lost her hearings,and won compelled to stay in tho coldnil nlRht. A boy found her In thomorning, but lin did not know what todo for her floro throat and Bho noondied.

Tlio Christian Roma and WliiU It ShouldKo—A Powerful ToBt of Clinractor—Varloua. Monul^iffB of Hpmc-^Cnn BoMade tlio UrlRhtost Place on Knrtli.

TEXT: "Go homo to thy friends nnd tellthem how groat thinRs tho Lord hath donefor thoo," Mark v., 19.

Thoro aro a, groat innny people longinglor some grand sphere in which to servoGod. .Thoy adrairo Luther at tho Diet ofWorms, and only wish thnt they had somosuch great opportunity In which.to displaytheir Christian prowess. Thoy admirePaul making Felix tremble, and they onlywish' that they had some such grand oc-casion in which to proaoh righteousness,temperance nnd judgment to come; allth«y wnnt Is only im opportunity to exhibittheir Christian horoism. Now tho evange-list coincs to us, and lie practically snvs:"I will show you a place where you canexhibit nil that Is grand, and beautiful, and-glorious, in Clirlstian character, and thatIs the domestic circle."

If ono is not faithful in nn Insignificantsphere he will hot be faithful In a resound-ing sphere. If Peter will not help thocripple at tho gato of the templo, ho willnever bo. able to preach three thousandsouls Into the kingdom nt.the Pontoeost.

. If Paul will not take pains to iiistruot Intho wny of salvation tho jailer of the Phll-ipplnn dungeon, ho will never make Felixtremble. Ho who is not faithful in a skir-mish would not be fai thful in an Armaged-don. Tho fact Is, we are all placed In justthe position in which wo can most grandlyservo God; and we ought not to bo chieflythoughtful about some sphoroof usoful-nes which we may after a whllo gain, buttho all-absorbing question with you andwltti mo ought to be: "Lord, what wiltThou hiive mo now nnd hero to do?"

There la one word in my text aroundwhich tile most of our thoughts will thismorning revolve. Thnt word is "Home."Ask ten different men the meaning of thatword, and thoy will give you ten differentdefinitions, i'o one It means lovo at thehearth, It means plenty at the table, In-dustry at tho workstnnd, Intelligence atthe books, devotion at the altar. To himIt means a greeting at the door and a smileat the chair. Peace hovering like wings.Joy clapping its hands with laughter. Lifea tranquil lake. Pillowed on tho rippleselcop tho shadows.

Ask another man what homo Is, and htwill toll you It is want, looking out of acheerless fire-grate, kneading hunger in anempty broad triiy. Tho damp air shiveringwith curses. No Bible on the shelf. Chil-dren robbers and murderers in embryo.Every face a picture of ruin. Want In thebackground and sin staring from the front.No Sabbath' wave rolling over that door-Bill.. Vestibule of tho pit. Shadow of In-fernal walls. Furnaco for forging everlast-ing chains. Awful word! It Is spelled wittourses. It weeps with ruin, it chokes willwoo, it sweats with the death agony of do.apnlr.

Tho word "Homo" In tho ono onso menmeverything bright. Tho word "Homo" litho other cn»o means evurythlng torrllle.

I shall sponk to you tills morulngof hom<as a test of chnrnotcir, homo as a rofugohomo UH a political safeguard; homo as eschool, and homo BH a typo of heaven.

And in tho first place I remark, thathomo la n powerful tost of character. Thedisposition In public may bo In gay cos.tumo, whllo In private It IB In dishabille,As piny actors may appear in ono way ontho Btago, and may npp.mr In another waybehind tho Hconi-s, HO private charnctormaybo very dlfforont from publlo character.Prlvato character Is often public clmnu'toiturned wrong nldo out.

Furtiiur, I romarlr, that homo Is a school.Old ground must bo turned up wljli sub-soil plow, and it must bo harrowed and ro-Imrrowed, and then tho crop will not be aslarge us that of tho now ground with lessculture.' Now, youth and childhood arenew ground^and all the Influences thrownover their heart and life will como up In»ftor llfo luxuriantly.

And everyjbullltion of anger and every unoontrola-&le display of indignation will bo fuel totheir disposition twenty, or thirty, or'forty?ears from now—fuel for a bad flre a quar-ter of a century from this,

Oh, make your homo tho brightest plaooi earth, If you would oharm your ohtl-

Iron to tho high path of virtue, and rectl-mdo, and religion. Do not always turnthe blinds the wrong way. Let the lightwhich put;s gold on tno gentian and spots;uo pansy pour into your dwellings. Dolot expect tho little foot to keep stop to alead march. Do not cover up yojir wallsivith such pictures as West's "Death on aPalo Horse," or Tintoretto's "Massacre ofihe Innocents." Bather cover thorn, if youiavo pictures, with "The Hawking Party,"ind "The Mill by tho Mountain Stream,"ind "The Fox Hunt," and "Tiio Chil-Iron Amid Flowers," and "The Harvest3ceno," and "The-Saturday Night Market-ig."Abovo all, my friends, take into your

No thanksgiving in the morn-ng for care? How, my brother, my sister,will you answer God in the Day of Judg-nout, with reference to your children? ItM a plain question, and therefore I nsk it.n the tenth chapter of Jeremiah God saysle will pour out His fury upon tho familieshat call not upon His namo. 0 parents,

Oh, If you do not Inculcate Chrlstianprin-ilploln the hearts of your children, and7011 do not warn them against evil, and youio not invite them to holiness and to God,ind they wander off Into dissipation andnto infidelity, and at last make shipwreckjf thoir Immortal soul, on their death-bedind in thoir Day of Judgment thoy willlurso you. Seated by the register or thetovo, what If on the wall should como outhe history of your children? What a his-ory—the mortal and Immortal life of youroved ones. Every parent is writing thoilstory of his child. Ho Is writing It, com-loslng It Into a song or turning it Into a;roan. .

My mind runs back to one of the best ofmrly homos. Prayer, llko a roof, over It."eaco, like an atmosphere, In It. Parents,lorsouillcatiousof faith in trial and com-ort In darkness. Tho two pillars of thnt

RAILROADING IN OLD DAYS.

Conditions Have Changed Since theFirst Locomotives Were Built.

"Yea, I will admit that railroadingao\v Is not what It used to be in tho'60s. AVe have had great changes andImprovements in the past thirty years,and while it has all been for the best,stilt I often think that the life of arailway man Is not nearly so pleasantQOVV .is It was In the olden times." Thespeaker was an old Pennsylvania rail-road conductor, who has seen years ofservice, not only on the greatest roadon earth, but on many other lines aawell. When pressed for an explanationof the meaning of his opening remarkshe began by making the statement thatunder "present systems of operatinggreat trunk lines the men In charge ofthe trains, have become mere automa-tons, following day by day the fixed,Inexorable lines of law laid down in thebooK of rules. "When n train starts outIt is expected to run through to destina-tion without any delay, and the workjf each member of the crew is thesame every day unless the clocklikorules of operation should be Inter-fered with by a wreck. The engineerknows his duty and has his orders con-stantly before him, and he Is guldlTdalong the way by the signal Indicationswhich are partly automatic and partlyguided by 'human Intelligence In themethod of their Indications. From be-ginning to end of the trip the predom-inant desire and expectation of thomanagement as well as the crew la toget over the road on schedule time,which means that the wheels must bekept moving all the time, nnd onlystopped at the right place, according tothe unvarying requirements of tho rulesi>f the operating department.

•'How different It used to be In thagood old days before the era of double,triple and quadruple tracks. In the.Bummer days whon the heat was op-pressive we used to hustle to get tosome shady passing place In the moun-tains, whero cool springs bubbled outfrom under the limestone ledges rindtrout basked In tho crystal pools. Ar-rived ut tho place we only know timeour orders required us to wait forNo. —, and if that train was an nouror two hours lato It was all tho better,wo thought, and a good engineer, nc-cordlug to our Ideas, was the man whocould make an hour of time so that nomalto:1 how the train we were to meetWHB running we could havo an hour attho spring. Fishing poles, shotguns nndrlllea wore carried In the cabin oars Inthose clays, and often whllo waiting on& belated train which had the right ofway \vc caught enough llsh or kllloilenough BqiitrrelH or/ groimo to furnishus with a delightful nieiil.

FOOT-BALL."The hardest game we over played,"

so declared each member of the Ham-moDion team, even Woleeiffer, after thetusale with the "Country Club" atHaddon field, last Saturday. Yes, wewere beaten 14-0, but the wonder ia,considering our opponents, that thescore was not worse. The "CountryClub" was made up partly of JeffersonCollege playere, and ex-players of theregular teams of Princeton, Harvard,and Yale. "Kosengarten, of Princeton'95, was the moving epirit of the Had-donQelds, and made moat of their gains.Their line weighed at least 20 poundsper man heavier than ours.

Early in the game, Jones was com-pelled to leave the field; Stackhouaowas given us by the Haddbnflelds, andhe played a good game.. Later, Davi-son was knocked senseless for a time,and left the field.

Although we would not like to criti-cise the officials, it seems strange thatour opponents should be given 165 yardsfor ofluide plays, and a free kick, whilethey were not penalized at all. Disin-terested spectators declared our boys toba no lees observant of rules than thevictors. It will * be observed that 165yards will equal three touch-downs from'the centre of the field.

Hammonton bad the kick-off, and thereturn was blocked on their ten-yardline.. Then the penalties began. Bymoderate gains and awards, the ballwas forced to near onr goal line, andLongacre (ex- Yale) made the touch-down. Ko goal.

In the last of the first half, with theball in the centre, there were but fourminutes to play. Yet in those four (?)minutes, by short gains (none over fiveyards) they made another touch-down,Rosengarten did it, and kicked the goal.Pretty lone; minutes, we think.

The second half was a pretty one towitness. Jackson and Eoseugarten try-ing their respective pedal muscles, goingrarely for the line. Jackson is a kickerfrom away-back, and never fails to gain.Rosengarten was blocked several times,while Jacksoo, by bis own wariness andhelp from .the line, escaped that fate.

Once the Countryites secured the ballon first down within our five yard line.Two short gains brought it to about afoot of our goal. Hero we certainlyshowed how to play the game. Secur-ing the sphere on a fumble, Jacksonmade a skillful kick and sent it flyingoff down the field. With the ball inHaddonfleld'B territory, and in theirpossession, it was passed back for akick. There was a fumble, throwingour boys off their guard ; but Eoaengar-ten gathered up the pigskin and, skirt-ing the ends for 85 yards with a goodInterference, made the last touch-down.No goal. The miss was duo to Wol-7elfler'B foxy playing, getting Roaengar-ten too much rattled to kick with hisusual caro. The line-up : >

DEAR MR. EDITOR :The 'Journal man says he ia tired of

''shootHig in the dark.'' It would havebeen more manly ia him to acknowledgedefeat; but amounts to the same thing.Even if he does give up his attempt lodefend those who propose to introduceevil among us, I will continue to pegaway to keep it out. I know I am ontho right side; but possibly riuht willnot win this time. The Devil's ownwill have to answer for that,

I will uot apologize for any referenceto the evil which the Journal man isaiding to bring here. I have said no-thing lor which an apology IB needed.Wine makes a man druuk; drunkennesscauses depravity, corrupts moral sensi-bilities, causes a man to see evil in whatia good. If I should say "grapes," he.would ihiuk wine; if I say "rye" hethinks. whisky, tuid so through the wholelexicon. His eye like the buzzard'sdwells upon the carrion in the cloverfield.1 But perhaps a dose, of Hell'sreigo might waken our people and curethem of all desire for any form of evil.Some of our good men advocate thegranting of all applications for license,from this motive.

Th«j Journal has not apologized-fordisloyalty to the-good people of Ham-monton. It not only advocates u vviue-

now, but did iu worst to elect acouncil which would licuuso rum-bolesfor the damnation )>l". other men's chil-dren.

Which is worse, anyhow?GOOD MORALS.
