It is necessary to explain that "Uncle Eph" referred to above, comee ashore from tbe famous shoal, a mile or so off shore, known" by that name about once in ten yearn or more to look around and nee what has happened. He a very shrewd old merman thought somewhat dfceouth, and has been best known by certain editors Of the Star of the.Cape. now merged with the Star and Wave. His remarks contain a great deal of quaint wisdom. *' This is his first appearance since J 893 or thereabouts. He lelc Cape May a number of years ago and became a merman to avoid many cares and troubles incident to life ashore, which he looked upon as "vanity." Unlike Diogenes, who sought a tub, he took up his abode in Uncle Epb's shoal and and as "riparian rights" don't reach 1 there he has never been disposse-sed. We have endeavored to faithfully re cord his conversation, omitting nothing. ; "How be you, young man" This W8M the greeting which recalled ua to i mundane things, while in the midst of | a train of thought which was encoun- ; tering obstacles, and turning to greet the visitor, we were agreeably surprised to find at the threshold, our old friend "Uncle Eph" who ;had left the famous nhoal a mile or so off shore, in which he has hie home, to io£k about him in the Greater Cape May. It was his first visit ashore for many gears and he found it difficult to locate himself and find any of hia old friends. He finally discovered the Star and Wave office bent upon finding out If any of the Star of the Cape friends — ot whom he was so fond, were in existence, and was overjoyed to discover] An old time friend at the desk of the consolidated papers. Our extended hand w as politely declined by the old gentleman because be was still dripping with brine and overhuug with oyster grass and sea weed and thought h mself not yet fit < to shake hands in (olite society. We gave him an opportunity to "slick up" and be was soon as chippeT as in his younger days, and As talkative as usual. v "Boy," he Baid, lapsing into his eld affectionate form of address, ."ye 're ha via' great doin'a round hyer, haint , IV." "Perhaps," said we, "but what do , you allude to, uncle." , "Wall, " said be, "I found a old king i crab shell and stuck her up to the door of my cottage out there on to the shoal 1 ■p'a to make^ things safe like, and then I r. steered a n'uth. no'weet course, < 'apectin' lo laad at Pumly Beach, hut i arter I had worrited along for a spell I ]

J fell in with a school of them air peaky J dram fish, a drum mi n like mad and rix up to the top of the water to tee where I be, and purty near caught a dipey in me neck, chocked out by a feller try in' to fiah offen a darned ole wharf place. I got outec tbe way bv alterin' me course a few pints no'th and then run agin a spile and found I wuz ashore. I must a hev mtd a etror in me reck'ning. for there wa'nt no a Poverty Beach nowhar' in sight and I haintffound it yiL I v as •figgerin' to £ git a meal o' soft crabs ofit o' tbeui ole salt ponds hot I -haint found none 5j and had to do with some sea clama I kerried off from the shoal. Now, what the durnation hea you fellera been a * doin". The first one I- seed was the lc feller that nearly soaked in with his dipsey and he said his name » as Smith " or sumpin' new lek that air and he said * he was a rannin' the Stockton and ly matin' her jump and if I'd come up " there he'd stake me tu some grub. h But I aaid, 'none for vour Uncle Eph, sonny. I'd scare all o' yer folks and '• spile yer carpets, thankin' ye jist the same.' He aaid he wuz tryin'^o catch ofte o' them pesky drum rtfn in irith, ir and that's how be come to chuck the 3 dipsey out my wdy. Jiat then a feller jj come a -rannin' and says, 'Come along, Benny, Jimmie'a got a'bite, and Smith J lef' me a standin' and a drippin'. How » I got up there I don' know; fer there wuz a lot o' things in the roads mekin' * a noise like aome o' them new fangled i- boats that's a been a rannin' over my aboal and they seemed to be a stearin' wild and right at me all the time. But here 1 be, thanks be, and I want to know whether the ole Cape's moved E | We were somewhat puzzled to reply to the old gentleman, buf after some | reflection, we concluded that the Pov- • erty Beach he alluded to had rarished several years ago, but after hia last visit, and that in place of it had come i the beautiful new land known aa New j Cape May and we accordingly told hjm I 8°. - 1 I He gazed at ua contemplatively for 1 a moment and then said "How 'd they do it'?' We told him of the 20,000,000 1 I cubic yards of soil which had been : j pumped from the sound) on to this 1 ; land until it was made high above sea 1 t level, and of tbe contemplated harbor. 1 i He again seemed to be cogitating for 1 • several minutes and finally bioke out ' . impulsively witn the question "Where's ' them pull backs," and we replied, ' ("Hat! that's 111 off, "and then "No 1 ! they couldn't hinder it, and now every- 1 j body is working together for the oom- ' mon good and getting results." ^ 1 "Wall, wall," aaid he, "Ujla makes ( my ole head ache, cause ll 'd never f j 1 ooked fer it, leastwise not so soon, j My ole aboal has been havin' tbe great- 1 t — j "mm itaa uixn uaviu uie great-

{ est spells rocking and shaking and threaten in' to give way for these past | three year, and if the 'pull backs' ^ couldn't hinder it and everybody is pull in' together, I don't blame it a 'mite. Them's the best news I've hearn in menny a day." " We explained to him that it was undoubtedly a New Cape May in which ® many of the old differences and difficulties had been relegated to. the background. ' At his request we then strolled around town and if you didn't Bee us a its the fault of your vision. When we arrived at a certain corner he. stopped ^ and gazed at a great building there in* tently for a moment, and then said j ^ "Seems lek 1 ought to know that air j place, I don't seem to 'membtr any such barn right up here, but meb-J 1 ' be I forgit. Looks like fine hay crop hed been harvested, but they left ii ! some too long. I< the feller in the liv'j ery business. ? Cracky, but that's a | fine place fer a livery. How menu . j h oases does he keep?" We hastened to ' | say, "That's a hotel uncle, used to be | a | famous one. Don't you see?" The ' ; old man nearly fainted. ! "Wot I d'ye mean to tell me that there's the place where they used to hev Henry Clay and all toera fellera when 1 was a working round yere. Ye can't fool me, boy. I know a durned sight better'n ti et air." "Of course it isn't the same house you knew by that name when you w ere a boy uncle. It was built after the great fire, you know." we hastened to explain. "Don't try to fool a ole man. boy. No big fine hotel looks like that air ' j thing. No hotel about that air. If its i | a.hote! why don't they open up the 1 abetters." said he with a triumphant . < air. "The house wasn't rented this year, that's all," I said "Not rented, hey, why didn'A they keep 'er open 1 anyhow. Wut'd they want to rent 'er fgr, anyhow. Thai's why 1 thought it wcz a barn 'cause them abetters aint i op< n. _ Thot the ht\ mow wuz up thar. i Wali, wall, the old house not open, and 1 if the ole crowd had there way there i wouldn't be nethin' open. 1 'mem- ' ber 'em of ole. They wanted every- I thing and arter they git it they hold on to ii so tight that nethin' kin Le done nobody. Ole Cape May was always held up oy th& bu-iness and you've j gotter look out or they'll keep it from goin' now. That's what driv me out the 6boal, I couldn't atan' it "There's a lot of you fellera a playin' their game all tbe time when you don't it by repeatin' their ideaa that everything whatsumever is a -goin' straight to the demnitT on bow wows.

Accordingly, tbe undersigned committee was appoi nted fo the purpose, and Sunday, August I6th, next, was selected as the . day.

Special speaking and singing will be provided , and the Committee looks for a pleasant reunion of old friends and neighbors. trust that you will make an earnest effort to be at the service on August 16th.

We will appreciate it , if you will communicate with tbe un- . deraigned, or any other member of the Committee, and let us know if we may depend upon your contribution and also , your presence at the Rally on August 16th.
