' ORANGE, N. J., Dec. 141b, 1870.
DEAR GAZETTE: A
' The question of running Horse Cars on
Sunday has been at length submitted to the
people of Orange, and can-led by a majority-
of more than two to one. It cannot be said
to have been carried by default, for if every
voter who staid away from the polls had
voted against the measure, it would not
have defeated it. Neither was the move-
ment sprung upon the people, for the ques-
tion of Sunday Horse Cars, was agitated in
the neighboring city of Newark, more than
a year ago, and after a fair canvass of public
sentiment, it was decided. last Summer in
favor of the cars. They soon after com-
menced running, and have come out to the
Newark line on Sabbath-days ever duce. A
clamor for the same pricdegss was at once
started in Orange, and has been kept up
pretty faithfully 'by a certain class ever
since. The Common Council prudently
threw the responsibility of deciding the
question upon the people and ordered a spec-
ial electtbn. Special elections are a hobby
in Orange. Mefiures which, in N orwalk,
would be submitted to a “ Town Meeting,”
and decided in an hour, take a whole day
here, to be acted upon with all the para-
phernalia of votes, ballot box, and a bench
0f omcial dignitaries. Is a read to be open-
cd, or one to be macadamized; is a school
house to be built, or one to be paid for, there
must be a day set apart for a special elec-
tion. Thus the“ question of violating the
Sabbath, of robbing man and beast of their
Heaven-appointed day of rest ; of disturbing
‘ the worship of God’s people; ofmaking His
holy day man’s holiday; of opening our
peaceful town to the influx of rowdyism
and drunkenness: of encouraging Sunday
liquor tariff and gambling, and racing, has
been decided by a deliberate vote of the peo-
ple against God and humanity. Well may
christianily and civilization stand abashed.
New York City is rapidly becoming the
world’s queen of gsyety and godlessness,
now that Paris has fallen, and its suburbs
are drinking in its spirit with fatal eager-
ness.
All eyes are now turned upon the town-
ship of East Orange. Her geographical po-
‘sitic‘m between Newark and Orange renders
it necessary that all roads connecting these
two cities, should pass through her center.
She is thus placed between two fires. New-
ark on the one side, rumbling like a volcano
ready for ancruption‘; Orange, on the other
side, demanding loudly for East Orange to
prostrate herself, and let the burning lava of
Sunday bacchallalisnr roll over them both.
“Without a favorable verdict in that lbwn-
ship," says the Orange Journal, “our election
willbe of no effect." It remains to be seen
whether East Orange will debanch herself
to gratify the unholy demands of. these pew-
erful neighbors. ' She has no political ends
to gain by yielding, for she is always repub-
lican, while they affect the opposite ticket,
what ever party you please to gall it. ' Her
population is widely' diverse fi'om theirs,
being composed largely 'of Eastern people,
who have business in New York, and who
have chosen a residence within her borders,
because it is more convenient than their
New England homes. The foreign element
has no appreciable influence, and gin-shops
are few and far between. She is building
two school houses at a cost of $30,00010 $40,
000 each; has just finished two elegant
churches, and is prospecting for two'morc;
is laying out new streets, macadamizing old
ones, erecting dwellings, and laying side-
walks faster than any other village within
fifteen miles of New York; and has no time
or inclination to listen to the importunigies
of rum and rnfilanism. I predict an unfa-
vorable verdict, and a decided rebuke to her
deluded neighbors. .
Were you surprised at the result. of our
late State election 1' Is it possible that this
Democratic. Strasbourg has ‘ yielded to the
siege guns of Republicanism ?. Did I not
tell you that the dark cloud would utter its
thunder at the next election 1 Last Winter
a Democratic Legislators refused to ratify
the Fifteenth Amendment. This Winter,
six thousand fleemen came forward, and
with their first ballot, smote the Democrat-
ic Legislature into ,oblivioul The lightning
has struck and the ruins lie around. The
history of the first vote of the blackman is
yet to be written. Let me contribute an in-
cident.’ In a certain town, not a thousand
miles from where I am now writing, some
swaggering politicians were gathered about
the polls in the morning, and were discuss-
ing (with or without the “dis”) the pending
“nigger” voto. They were not going to
stand it, no how! They’d throttle the first
“wooly head” that dared approach the bal-
lot box, with a vote in his polluted hand.
They’d teach him to know his place. They’d '
tar him; they’d.- feather him; they’d hang
. through our peaceful villages.
—— but what is that coming yonder?
Is it a squad of policemen, or is it a funeral
procession? On comes the: nomatl'amp,
tramp, tramp. Is it a masquerade 2' ~ Every
face is black, and they are ibuproanhing the
polls. Solemnly and silently they march to
the ballot box and deposit fifty votes there:
in. This done,~lhey march as solemnly may,
and disappear. Where are the swaggerers ?‘
Did they dare to throttle, or lar, or feather,‘
or hang? yes, they did “hang"-—ibeir heads
and bend as if a hurricane was sweeping
over them. The fifty new-born freemen
went back and finished their day’s work,
having lost but an hour, which was easily
made up by working an hour later. A hun-
dred white politicians lost a whole day, and
went home at night in a line nothing near
as straight as the black column made in the
morning. Which make the best citizens ?
We are again obliged to submit to the in-
cessant rumble. and roar of coal trains
The Boon-
ton Branch, which was built as a cut off for
coal trains only, is suddenly rendered use-
less, for want of a single rail 1 But why
‘r- § d0n’t they spike it down! Aye, there’s the
V 3 rub, Fisk won’tlet ’eml . Twenty-five or
. ’ thirty miles'otrailrolid worthless, Willey-
‘ _ sands ofiinuccentpeoplestarfied fitomlhe‘ii‘;
I slmnbsrscmy quarter ofan hour during
the night, by screeching coal trains, through
the insolence and despotism of one or. two
railroad kings. . The quarrel is all on ac-
count sf the Bergen tunnel, which Fisk
claims to Own outright, while Samuel Sloane
claims that-it is a public highway, open to
all railrcad companies who pay toll. You
have read Idaho New York papers how
near they came 'to. a pitched battle, the other
day, and how the Governor of the State had
to interfere to quiet the disturbance. The
Journal of Commerce well remarks, Could the
Jersey authorities shut up all the acting bei-
ligerents in the tunnel, and compel them to
fight it out, until they share the fate of the
Kilkenny cats, the companies represented,
as well as the general public would be large
gainers thereby.”
The dispute has been referred to the
courts for the twentieth time, at least. But
neither Fisk nor Sloane care a pin for legal
decisions, which they both can purchase
any time they please, and they will keep
their peace only solong as their interests re-
quire. ‘Eacb company has claims and finn-
chises which the other covets, and the quar-
rel seems likely to be an endless one, so long
as unprincipled men are at the head. One
result will doubtless be a new tunnel
through Bergen Hill, near Hoboken. An-
other wiil be a new contract with the Ho-
boken Ferry Co., which will secure the trav-
el lo the Del. Luck. and Western Railroad
with’all its branches, to that ferry for a num-
ber of years. A Third, which more imme-
diately concerns the public, will probably
be an effort to enhance the price of coal. It
is claimed by the great mining companies
that the prices of coal have ruled so low,
during the past Summer and Autumn, that
none of them have been able to do more
than pay expenses, while some have actual-
ly lost in their contracts. The annual strike
of the miners is therefore at hand, prompted ‘
of course, by capitalists, who have already
given the signal, by reducing the miners’ wa-
ges forty-five cents on a car. Hence,I
would advise consumers to lay in their coal
at once, if they have not already done so.
Orange has the honor of importing from
England, the third steam road-roller ever
used in this‘country. Its. weight is 36,000
pounds , and it looks like a veritable loco-
motive rolling along our streets. It consists
ess'entially‘ of four immense cast iron rollers,
upon which are supported the engine and
boiler, necessary to propel them. The piston
moves in quick strokes, and gives rapidhlo
tion to a balance wheel,whicll,by means ofan
endless chain, communicates with one of
the rollers, and drives the machine forward
at about a walking pace. It requires two
men to manage it, one to act as both fire-
man and engineer, the other to stand at the
wheel and guide the ship. This is done
something on the principle of the velocipedc.
the fore wheels being attached to a turning
table, which is moved by a regular pilot
wheel. At first, it was necessary to use this
ponderous engine o'nly nights, and it fright-
ened horses terribly; but, by leaving it
standing in or near the highway through
the day, they soon became accustomed to it.
Now it rolls back and forth, wherever the
Macadam pavement is being laid with per-
fect impunity, the horses minding it no
more than any other vehicle. The roller
cost $6,000. It is almost the only piece of
steam mechanism that we have to import.
which shows how far behind England and
other foreign countries we are in road-mak-
ing. This is said tge one of the smallest
size made, some ’usedfin London weighing
a hundred tons.
The weather during the Fall and Winter,
so far, has bafiled almanac makers and
weather prophets. The ground here is as
free from frost as it was in mid-summer.
Overcoats were scarcely in demand at all
till last Sunday. House-building and road-
muking have encountered not a ddy’s inter-
‘ruptio'n, and coal dealers are in the dumps,
However sharply winter may now set in, it'
is shorn of any severe length, thanks to the
Benign Giver of every good and perfect gift.
The thrifty laborer finds his coal heap in
the cellar but slightly diminished, and his
“pile" for a rainy day, largely increased by
an industrious improvement of the contin-
ued fair weather. With a smiling God over-
head, and an approving conscience within,
he is prepared to enjoy the welcome festivi-
ties of the holidays. ' My fellow toiler, a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

PEGGY’S MISTAKE. .
' BY TIMOTHY TOODLEs.
O
Johnathan Beans had at last arrived to
the dignity and importance Of a practising
physician. For years, at night and at day,
through thick and through thin, had be
poured over, volumes of medical lore, and
cut and slashed among the muscles ohde-
p'arted men, in search of that dear knowl-
edge and information that was to “set him
up” and assist him in the practice of the pro-
.fession. In the hospital, in the dead-house,
at the cliniq'uc, in the lecture-room,cvery-
where where opportunity offered, he had
sought for great truths, and swallowed the
wind and wisdom ofleorned men. Gallons
of midnight oil had be consumed in pursuit
of his precious project, and his labors had-
been crowned with success. He had gradu-
ated—graduated with, proficiency and with
honor—and like many other men under cir
cumstances of a similar nature, imagined he
had attained no ordinary degree of excel-
lency and merit. And this was not to be
wondered at, for he had been a very proud
opionated mortal from the very day of his
youth. His brain, as the phase runs, had
never been too nicely ballanced. .Ostenta-
tious display, pomposity, and the general
propensities "of the toad in the mud-puddle,
were the ruling attributes of his nature. So
prominent did this disposition appear in.the
manners and morals of his every day life,
that it was a common saying among the in-
habitants of Beanville, his native town, that
if he ever did reach a position of worth and
importance in the world, his cutaneous in-
tegument could not long remain entire un-
der the enorifi us infiutntion that would en-
sue. And realh‘the-good people were not.
far from right. For‘withil‘lle‘i‘e'moluments
and the magnaminily, the grandeur, the im-
.and was religiously attending to the phys-
-den change of posture that ensued; and had
great and honorable degree of Doctor of1
Medicine, it seemed that the disastrous event
would really take place at every rise and,
fall of his diaphragm. He spread himself,
immensely, and if his skin did not give way ,
it was certainly not because he had given it
no occasion. .
Now Johnathan was a little man, consid-?
erably beneath the ordinary stature, and as ,
round and as plump as a porpoise. A head,
adorned his shoulders, which, withzlhe ex-I
ceplion of the ears, for all the world resem- :
bled a pumpkin—one of these carved and
cut out pumpkins, which are rigged up with ,
a lighted candle, in our boyhood, to frighten
our timid little sisters and associates. His
beardiess- face, red and wrinkled as it was,
eternally were that same grin, hisbig round
eyes that same impudcnt stare, that we see
in one of these contrivancea ; while a loft
of hair, carefully combed in a perpendicular
direction frOm his forehead, and turning
over in a graceful curl, formed as complete
and well-regulated a handle for such an ap-
apparatusias the most fastidious llttle urchin
coulddelir'cl-V- ‘ —' ' s I

make such aniniquilons attack-'l'lpon John-
athan Beans'thead; to compareit, in its ac-
.hnowlodgscpromndny t‘o magconinlous.
But it's'a fa‘ét, a prudigious‘, Old-fashiOned,
paradoxical fact. ' His head did resemble a
disfigured pomolOgical specimen of the kind
more precisely than anything else we can
imagine, and we hope the dear doctor will
forgive us for mentioning it. we mean him
no injury, in all earnestness we d0 not. We
are, in our way, only getting at the remark-
able difi'erencc that existed between his fos-
silated old cranium, and the actual excel-
lency of its contents, and if in so doing we
are guilty of any act of impropriety or
decency, we—wc—well, we are sorry—we
cannot afford to spoil the pith of our story
by circumambulating around it, and screem
ing it in eternal darkness just because we
happen to know the man.
There was another thing, too, about John-
athan Beans that appeared very incongru-
ous with his mental accomplishment, and
general air of importance, and that was his
fat and homelylittlebody. It seemed, real-
ly, as if nature had taken a bundle of flesh
and bones, thrown them together in a pro-
miscuous heap, blown into it the breath of
life, and delivered it, as done with, to its un-
fortunate owner. Therc was no shape, nor
symmetry, nor elegance to it, and it gibcd
indecently indeed, with our sense of propri-
ety, to see it strutted around as Johnathan
usually slrutled it. It looked abominable,
it looked out of place: and it was olit of
place, for he invariably showed his erudiiion
to a remarkably poor advantage by doing
so, and not unfrequently made what people
term “ a complete foul of himself " in the
bargain. This was the one great fault with
Johnathan, yet in spile‘Of his faults, and his
foibles, his infirmities and his failings, his
awkwardness and his uninfviting personal
appearance, he was a sound and practical
man, and a man possessed of excellent good
judgement in the matters and duties of his
profession.
Doctor Beans was much beloved as a pre-
scrib‘sr ofparagoric and pills, and gloried in
the unbounded respect as a physician,
among. his friends and fellow beings.
New in the little town of where
Johnathan had hung out his ‘liccnse to kill,”
ical welfare of the good people, there flour-
ished an ancient and aristocratic maiden la-
dy that is to figure somewhat extensively
in our story. She was a quee'r kind of ‘a.
mortal ;‘ odd, eccentric, and as full of freaks
and of fancies as a bat is of fleas. Nearly
six feet in height, as slim as an arrow, round
shouldered and cadavcrons, sh asn’t a
very handsome woman; bums o was
wealthy, and that was all that was necessa-
ry. It paved her way to every honor, and
held her up as' something considerable in
the eyes and opinions of the people. She
was considerably high-minded and irascible
with the rest, and had her ideas of matters
and things which she never allowed to be
trampled upon. When she get it into her
head that a little amusement was beihg had
at her expense—that her person or peculiar-
ities were the object of ridicule, she was par-
liculary harsh and vindictive, and lost no
opportunity in resenting it with all the ven-
geance of which she was capable. Instances
were on record (so it is said) where she had .
knocked certain individuals out of lime,
and in fact almost out of existence, in re-
venge of some ofher real or fancied injuries ;
and from what we know of the woman, we
believe that she was just the person that
would carry into efi'ect such a proceeding
would gobble a grasshopper. .
One evening, as Doctor Beans was sitting
at his open ofilce window, enjoying his tra-
grant havana and watching the people of
his acquaintance as they passed up and down
the street. there came a loud and lingering
rap at the knocker in front of his door. ' It
startled him for he had seen no one approach
and it was as yet early in the evening. He
quit his cigar, and proceeded at once to ob-
tain slight, and by the time he succeeded
in procuring one, his servant ushered in the
caller. It was Perigrinthia Allen—Peggy
Allen as she was commonly called—the il-
lustrious individual that we have just intro;
duced to our readers. ’
“Ab, Miss Allen,” exclaimed the doctor,
as she entered, “ how do you do f—gplcasant
evening,” and he waddled his fat little body
around to assist her to a chair. “ It,s pleas-f
ant weather we're having, Miss Allen. .
Miss Allen was in no mood for conversa-
tion. She simply, made a reply in the af-
firmative and proceeded at once to business.
She had run afoul of the coal scuttle,
through , some unaccou'nlable means; and
partially skinned her proboscis in the sod-
called in upon the doctor in search of mild
and soothing balsama to correct the unhap-
py injury. In a few words she told her
simple story and solicited his immediate
care. The doctor examined the wound, pro-
nounced it not of a serious nature, only a
slight tusion of the Cartilage Oranguta-
chnoai'snd prodeeded to apply the neces-
sary medication. . _
' As this was in progress the lady's tongue
began to loosen. The grace and cleverness
with which he did his work had won her
confidence completely, and she consulted
him furlher in reference to her health and gen-
eral disposition. The good doctor was not
long, ailer hearing her account of herself, in
making up his mind as to the nature of her
difiiculty. So with as few questions as pos-
sible, and as little delr- y, he set himself about
writing a prescription.
“1 think I can help you, Miss Allen," he
said, as he put on the finishing touches and
handed it.to her with directions for usino.
“Take it to the drug store and get it put up
for you, and' in a day or so I will call upon
you and see how you are progressing.” ;
This pleased Peggy amazingly—she took
quite a fancy to his little attentions—so she
folded her precious fifty cents worth of pil-
per and went on her way rejoicing.
, After the elapse of the specified time,
Johnathan sallied forth upon a visit to his
illustrious patient. A new silk hat, and his
Sunday go-to-meeting breaches were donned
in honor of the occasion, and as hg ascended
lhe long stone 'walkfbat reached to her res-
idence, his heart smiled within him in all-

raised him fairly from his feet and sent him

and the doctor was left to his meditations.

give her an appetite and assist digestion,

prescription ; and ’ unfortunate enough, but
not to be wondered at, had committed an
infamous error. She took the ingredients,
in her extreme nearsightedness, for the re-
Mrkabls materials they so nearly simulate,
and was highly offended at the insult. The
doctor meant it—she was sure he did—and
so he took the consequences. _ '

THE HOUITAIN GOILINJ
ALEGEND BY ms mum masons, '.
There is an old p0 ular saying that our
Lord, when he expe ed the fallen angels let
some of them drop down upon the
where they live still, and are called “B e -
fol " (mountain géblins) or “Trolde” (ml .
They are always afraid and flee away when
it thunders. which is for them a voice from
Heaven. Others fell down to the alder
moors; they are called "Elverfolk"s(elder
folks), and among them the women are very
handsome to look at, but not to trust; the
backs are also hollow like a dough trough.
Others fell down in old farm houses; th
became dwarfs and “Nissar” (elves) Some-
tinies they are'wont to have intercourse with

are related which are very strange. .
Up in Jutland lived in a large hill such a
mountain goblin,t other with a great .lnany
other imps. One 0 his daughters was'm'ar-
ried to the smith of the village. . The south

have broken him in pieces too. He thought
about it, and did not beat her any more.
Yet it was rumored abroad, and her rsapec, t
among the country people was lost, and she
was known as a. “ Trolde baun" (an imp
child). No one in the parish would have any
intercourse with her. The mountain goblin
got a hint of this—and one Sunda , when
the smith and his wife, together ‘wrth other
parishioners, were standing In the church
3rd waiting for the minister, she looked out
over the bay, where a fo wag arising.
