About four weeks ago, two of our ladies, when nearly 1n front ot A.G. Cessfork’s residence, were assaulted at 10 o’clock at night. He simply put his arm around them, offering them no other indignity. Since that time no less than fifteen or twenty ladies have been assaulted, and the community in the northeast part of Lamer is somewhat excited over it. This scoundrel 18 a jewelry thiet. When he puts his arm around the waist, he is feeling for watches, and when he takes a young lady by the throat,'as he has done on several occasions, he is hunting tor breast- pins. Now we don’t want any such men in the city of Lamar. He might frighten some woman to death, and there 18 no telling the ill effects of the scoundrel’s ,conduct outside of the property he might steal. He is described as tall, little over the ordinary height, slim built, wears gloves, overshoes, and a coat or cloak thrown over his shoulders. He sometimes wears whiskers, some- times not. The field ot his opera- tions has been confined to the northeast part of thecity. It caught he should be tied and stripped to the waist and turned over to the tender mercies of the women armed with cawhides. It is thought by some that this fellow 1s a professional thief. His overshoes are muffled so that it is impossible to hear his step, and he has the boldness and impu- dence of the old Nick himself. We learn that there has been a reward ot $50 offered for his apprehension, and we hope it will prove a sufficient inducement for some one to run the thief down. It you think the title to your land or city property is not good, better get abstract of title and have title perfected. P. C. Fulkerson & Co, will certify your record title for the usual charge. 2t. Hubbell opera house was com- fortably filled last mght to witness the popular comic opera ‘‘Olivette,”’ presented by the Adams Combina- tion. Harry F. Adams, as Cocle- quette, far surpassed any actor that has ever carried that part in Trenton, and won the admiration of the entire audience from his first appearance. Miss Freddie Bookman, as Olivette, proved herself a very able and pleas- ing actress, as did Miss Della Jack- son, as the Countess. Messrs, Quinn Phillips as Capt. DeMerrimac, and Will E. Owens as Valentine, also acted their part quite cleverly. We may say without hesitancy that Trenton theatre- goers never enjoyed an evening’s entertainment better than that of lastevening. To-night will be presented the thrilling play ot **Count of Monte Cristo.’’—Tren- ton World. Every day adds to the great amount of evidence as to the curative powers of Hood’s Sarsaparilia.

The editor of the London Telegsaph, 8 paper that is said to have a lgrger circulation among the English ak- ing class than any other paper ig the world, when asked recently how it was that his paper had no correspondent in America, but relied solely on Revter’s dispatches, replied: “My dear: sir, there is so little interest in Ametcan attairs here that if for the next six months we should throw away every bit of Reuter’s American. matter but the market reports I am sure we should never once during that time re¢eive complaint from a subseriber.”” Mr. Jay Gould has become s wiling victim to his pretty daughter-inlaw, once Edith Kingdon. She keeps the Sealy inroars of ladghter, and Jay Gould declares she is just the elsment he ueeded in his Home, says Town Topics. Her stories of her adventures in different theatrical companies @ the same railroads over which shé now trayels in grand style are very funnily given, and the contrasts she nde be- tween the then and now is the source of constant merriment. -‘They ate in- deed wonderful roads,” she said the other day. “I'd like to own the whole system.’ Whereupon papa Gould made her a present of $12,500 worth of stock, with the remark, “I ean’t give ye all of them, but here’s a little piece.”" James Russell Lowell in an interview with Julian Hawthorme said of a famous English novelist: George Meredith is a man of great learning and ability, and in literature he has vVirility—the sense of sex, — is rare.

' with him one Monday at his boarding- place on Beacon street. Hesaid he was | depressed, and wanted to make some- body as miserable as he was himself. He preferred a friend for this object, friend he would appreciate my voluntary submission to suffering as a proof of sincere amity. It was always difficult to tell when Von Bulow was jesting, for his manner was invariably earnest. However, I consented to lunch with him, whereupon he took my arm, and, as we walked, he urged me solemnly to avoid music as a topic for conversation, } unless 1 nad something startling to pro- | pose, such as a new resolution of chord of the ninth or a plan for the simulta- neous destruction of all the piano-forte He grew eloquent upon the subject of the tine tuneh he had offered and I had accept- ed, and in the course of the conversa- tion enlarged upon the epicarcan de- lights that Munich presented to the bon vivant, ending with an invitation to me i 1 with him in ish and to try the Hofbrauerei. t consisted of minced fish, vaked beans, and brown bread of the day before, and other fare in kind, well prepared and weli served enough, but food for whici I have no especial fond- ness. I therefore ate sparingly, which Von Bulow observing, said: “But you don’t eat, my dear fellow! You are of Boston. The beans are of Boston; the brown bread is of Boston. Feast!’ It was impossible to avoid laughing at his grave solicitude for my comfort and at the manner in which he enjoyed his curious joke, for joke it was. Presently a new idea seemed to strike him, for he summoned a waiter, and after an en- couraging glance at me, ordered that worthy to bring to the table the bottle bearing the name Von Bulow on a label about its neck. The wine was brought and my glass was filled with claret. I waited for Von Bulow to fill his own; but he said he eould not drink, as it sffected his head at once. I put the wine to my lips. It was sour as ver- juice and as bitter as gall. I replaced the glass on the table with as little de- lay as possible. He had watched me with great interest, and when he saw the unfavorable effect his wine had made, said inquiringly: “Don't you like it?” Upon informing him with as much delicacy as I could summon that the claret was abominable, he shook his head sadly, and observed: “It must be so! Now I amoonvinced. You are the seventh guest I have invited here who has condemned that same bottle of wine! The only a; T have is that I have kept my word to you. I promised to make you miserable. I know I have succeeded.” On another occasion Von Bulow con- fessed to me that he wantec to make a joke. This time sll was open and above board. He wished to do a ser- vice to his agent, one Wertheimer, ‘and he thought he could best doit by writing and publishing a comic song. A comic song by the classical Von Bulow would be sure to have an immense sale, and Wertheimer would reap a large profit from it. Words were wanted, and Von Bulow asked me to write him a few humorous stanzas, of which the burden or catch-word was to be ‘A little more ginger!” then, I believe, a popular slang term. I wrote and delivered the words, and Von Bulow told me to call upon him the next day to hear the wed- ding of my words to music by him. I went, and after the composer had told me his success in finding a tune he sat at the piano and played it. Never did I hear « more cramped, unmelodious, and unsingable mel yr: and the piano- forte accompaniment bristled with diffi- culties, requiring a skill no less than his own to play. was amazed—t h- less! “Well,” he said, turning on the piano-stool, ‘what do you think of it, poet I told him with the most perfect rankness that the voice part of his musical joke was unsingable, and the piano pate unplayable. “My dear fel- tow,” he said, with something of pity in his tones, “that is the joke.”—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. A Remarkable Dish. M. Le Blanc, if his story is accepted, was once chief cook to a Parisian noble- man. Now he keeps-a west side board- ing house. For days before Christmas he treated his guests to mouth-watering descriptions of ‘ze magnifique dinnair on ze Chrisemas da in La Belle France.” A few days before Christmas he became very mysterious and intimated that those fortunate mortals who sat at his board should also: have a “magnifique dinuair.” Accordingly anticipations ran high. The day at lagt arrived. His promises were fulfilled. The table was spread with an embarrassment of things. One dish was especially a favorite, and that it was so seemed to give monsieur great delight. It see a species of game, was delicately flavored, but no one knew exactly what it was. “Ob, monsieur. do delicions meat is,” said y Miss H., the star-bearder, when the dish was de- Wolished. “Tet, madam, zat cis se nd triomph of ze art.
