k«1| J i ■ ^ A A y/ j '■ \ Ri, +7^f* ''^ SATURDAY, APRIL 24th. 1880. A LP RED136OPE R, "Bditok. By the fore*t fircp, which have been *..ging in thin State during the lpt few weekt, maqy tpen who were considered "comfortable," iu point of this world'* wealth, have been reduced to poverty* — L_- — ,»,♦ ■ — — . — Tho numerous president iai booin* 'are being arduously cultivated by their promoter*, who, hop© to make th$m colno to something *tartling by ndxt Jane* They can't all be imcceasful, though, and it its nafe for any politician to figure p little on tho poeaibiiity that i hi* pet boom will liar© lo*t it* power by the time the convention meets. Our thanks are due to Prof. Geo. II. Cook for the Geological Report, to lion. Tho*. H. Dudley for the "15th Annual Report of Rutgers Scientific School,11 and also a copy of hit most excellent work on "Protective Tariff and Free Trade,11 and to Dr. C. F. Learning for a copy of the West Jersey Railroad Report for 1879. — - — ♦ ♦ • The hotel raon of Chicago are planning to make the coming national convention "pan out11 something handsome in the way of financial results. They have hit u]K)n tho rather novel 'scheme of charging for sleeping accommodations "by the foot." Rooms capable of holding four persons will be chargod for as if occupied by that number. The man who enjoy* the luxury of sleeping alone in a double bod will pay- just twice as much for his night's rest than as though rooms aro lo six inmates, and those who insist on rooming alono must pay roundly for the privilege. It is with regret that we call attention to tho comic (?) reading at the Literary j on Friday evening of last week. We refer to the burlesque sermon. That the object of the Court House Literary Society is mutual improvement and the cultivation of a refined moral sentiment, we think is true, but it strikes us that the rendering of aacreligious burlesques will not only have no good effect, but will on tho other hand tend to the dcvei?P,Meiit of a, spirit of bltanhemv which i» already sown in the mind* of some of tho young in town and is only waiting for a shadow of encouragement to come out boldly against church, religion, and all else that is good. We take it for granted that the programme committee did not know that this selection had been made, and we believe that our friend who made tho selection did so tlymglitlexsly, and with no intention of wrong, but would it not bo better for tho committee to not only select those who are to take part in the oxercises but also koep a watchful eye to the kind of matter selected for the amusement and education of the members? We do not wish to be understood as opposed to humor and "fun." Far from it, we recognise the truth of the saying "A little fun now and then, is relished by the best of men," and we 1 • .<du!l affair if no humor was allowed to enter into its programmes, but can no humorous pieces be found which are not degrading in their influence.

■■ ■■■ ^ » . ... The stories of cruelty to Indianswhich are set down against this great and Christian nation are enough to make one's blood boil, and there must be a measure of truth in many, if hot all, of them. Two surviving Cheyenne chiefs havo related a sad* tale of suffering, which- is reported in the Washington dispatches of the Tribune. The band, after fleeing from tho Indian Territory in 1878, fighting and surrendering, received promises of good treatment which VffiYd for a time fulfilled. Suddenly they were told that they must return to th© reservation, in spite of the intense cold and their nakedness, and in spite of the fifteen feet of snow that covered tho ground. Their entreaties to he allow, ed to remain until spring, brought upon them, according to tho statement of these chiefs, treatment so inhuman that it ts only just to the offioera concerned to wait until further testimony is received before crediting the charge. It is alleged thnt all rations of food, water and fuel were withheld for an entire week by the order of tho army officers. The Indians grow desperate, and broke out of their confinement. Many of them wero killed, and among them "twentytwo women and children," who are not usually counted among the war-like by the soldiers of civilized nations. The Tribune very properly adds that it ought not to be difficult to trace out the responsibility for those outrages. And ampbfttic punishment should certainly follow lb* discovery of the guilty parties.

Dear Gazbttc : — What thoughts coiue to our minds as we leave the home and friends we have so long been with, and in ull probability will never see again on this earth. As we speed along Westward there are many things that we see which tend to draw our though® for the time being from homo, but go where we will, there still lingers that remembrance those pleasant th~- „ , u* - ' CoUrt House. In a few hours we are in Philadelphia. From thence wo go to Pittsburg, whore by the way, you so^q us you enter and look above you, houses which seem to be directly over your head so high is the ground on which they are built. Pittsis blisr' 'KavInFft"" Vo'iY or more to •♦pare we wandered around the docks to see the shipping. Large flat bottomed steamboats were here in great numbers being three or four abreast. They were literally alive with people, and represented large freight interests. The water in the rivers is of adirty yellowish color. On going again to the depot we find hundreds of people sitting, with sAd countenances, waiting for the trains to carry them to new homes in the far West* At the cry of "all aboard for Fort Wnyno and Chicago" we hasten to the car* nnd soon find ourselves being whirled along toward the . .^Queen City^of the West" at a rapid rate. CTncagcT' strikes' us am" being one of tho livk cities of our country. Trains after trains, seemingly miles in length stand on the tracks loading nnd unloading their various freight*. Wo find the Lakes thronged with boats of every conceivable size shape and kind, mostly used for tho transportation of grain. The merchants have more life nnd energy than any wo have met in the East; From hero we take the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad which takes us directly through the grain growing districts. As far as tho eye can roach wo see nothing but fields of wheat and this not for ono day only but for throe days, thus causing tho traveler to become very weary. From Quincy we go to St Joseph, and from there to Atchinson, Kansas, whore wo see tho beginning of real Western life. Men, who live in the saddle Almost, . seen going up and down the two principle streets on tho look-out for a farmer's wagon in hopes that he may have a pig, cow, horse, or something olse to soil for I

speculation, thus showing the people of even the little towns in the West are alive for business. After leaving Atchinson we go to Cawkcr City which is a lively little town hut after being bore a very short timo we decide to "go West." This may seem strange to you in Cape May, but the people of Kansas talk as much of going West as do the people of Now iTorsoy. From here we take a wagon road and journey 155 miles dim West, enmping out three nights on the open prairie, then after goings about 55 miles South * we reach the Kansas Pacific R. R. and make a strike for Denver, tfel. - Without a single exception this is the worst place we were ever < in- Gambling and whiskey drinking is tlio chief occupation of a largo part of tho population, particularly on the •Sabbath. Board is $8,00 a week and everything etoo in proportion. There is hut one Baptist church in Denver. Not at nil satisfied with tho town we take the Detiv*i* * <|Huilro*d, •South, as inr as flmch is the terminus of the road. On the way we were overtaken by a snow storm which , in Cape May would be considered n heavy one, hut tho pooplo bore think nothing of it. Now in the month of i April we have to tramp over snow from 1 eight to fifteen feet deep in order lo get ] to our work. We are .now at work on ] the top of n range which is covered with i snow all the year 'round. Tho air is so 1 light that some new comers have to get 1 accustomed to it before - they can do a ( hard day'* work. The people here are <

our camp men iroin nearly pu lue j Sunday ft* recognized by all a* w**hday." About 9 o'clock A. M+f ou might sec the various gangs going to the spring* with a powder can, a suit of under clothing and a piece of soap. Thus we do our stashing, and we can now understand why the women of the East have such a dislike for wash-day. When we want our hair out the sheep diem mi brought Into play. After the «**h>tf£f done some of the men wander off in search of deer which are plenty in this section. We frequently *eo them while, at our work. In foot we see plenty of animal life out here j thousands of sheep, drove* of home* and cattle, now and then a cayote, prairie dogs, jack rabbits, and cotton-tails. The Mexicans build the house* of rapd, one story in height, and in rows like those of a city, having but one door and no windows. When traveling the men bidr with the luggage straped on in front of them and the women have 4he privilege of walking behind. This custom makes an Eo*tar$r man feel like knocking the man offond giving the women a chance. - In spit© of all this people will persist in leaving the comforts of a good home and civilized life in the East and come West to live in a dug-out or log house, where no comforts can bo had at any price, no enjoymonta in health, no friends in sickness, no doctor within -75 or 100 miles. All this for the sake of a little gold which, by the way^ not ono in a hundred ever find. If you want to sacrafice. all Ik*** A.*---*- -y • ^ v.. , »• .*»»•■. OU*j A. jfL • ~ H - .- Y State News.

The respective merits of the cranberries raised in New Jersey and Cape Cod are being discussed by growers. The Capo Cod folks claim for their berries a superior flavor, but Jersey men' say their berries bring the highest prices. A sebaceous or fatty tumor was removed from the buck of Benjamin Fox, living at Newport, on Monday last, by Dr. John B. Bowcn, of Bridgoton. The tumor weighed one and one-half pounds and was located directly over the shoulder blade. On the 16th, of March astranger hired a horse and buggy at a ?... )le of John Dugan in Camden.
