'Port Union, V O L . X V I . N o . 95. FORT JERVIS, ORANGE COUNTY, N. Y., SATURDIY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1888. FRIGE TBREE CENTS SOME SATURDAY SAYINGS A T R I P TO M IDDRETOW N ANI> AN ENCOUNTER W I T H SAVAGES. A W ild-E y e d R e d M an Scalps E a idlcy's Cigar Sign—A p ril On© T e a r A g o —An In s u l t to til© Ja p s —A H u m a n itarian Suggestion. A specimen of \ro-wiog maladministra tion in this country and of the ungrateful ness and avariciousncsa of public officials was exhibited in New York, recently. A Japanese sailboat was sent to this country as a present to the Commissioners of Public Parks in that city, to be put on the lake in Central Park, for the benefit of the people. When the boat arrived in New York the Custom House authorities claimed $100 duty on it. The Commis sioners were notified of the boat’s arrival, but they claimed they had “ no authority to spend so large an amount for such a purpose,” and they declined to receive it. The result was that the boat was sold by auction, and was bought by a member of the Knickerbocker Yacht C.ub; thus passing into private hands and directly insulting the friendly Japs who made the present to our people. It was simp y rob bing the peop'e to allow a private yacat club to secure a very unique vessel, and was no doubt a pre-arranged matter. Farmers, butchers and others should bear in mind that they are liable to arrest for carrying calves, sheep or other animals in wagons with their four feet tied together. Animals may be secured, however, jast as safely, by tying the hind feet together, placing them in a comfortable position, and then passing the cord under the body to and around the neck. This leaves the front feet free, but the animal is perfectly helpless and yet in a comparatively com fortable position. These are facts worth remembering. In the face of the outcry -against the Eaglish sparrows, the writer of these lines believes the birds do more good than harm —much more, indeed. Tne assertion by Gem Spinner that the birds do not eat in sects has been proven false by many who have watcaed them closely It is known that they devour insects in great numbers. A gentleman one day saw them nipping off n the buds on Ms shade trees, and, fearing that they were doing much harm, made an examination, the result of which was that he found evidence in every bud of a worm or larv® having been embedded therein. These industrious little birds were trying their best to rid the trees of one of the worst pests known. One of the objections Gen. Spinner urged against the birds was the fact that they eat offal and delight in scratching and delving in foulness. Well, what of it ? That’s the bird’s business. In fact, one of the points commending it to our favorable attention is the fact that it is a scavenger. Being more than ever a friend to the sparrow, the writer is pleased to realize that, however much the enemies of the little fellow may persecute him, he has come to stay, and they can’t get rid of him! If the fault-finders who are railing so loudly about the backwardness of spring will allow their Ihoaghts to wander back to April,’87, they will find that the present spring is not as bad as some picture it. A year ago last Wednesday there was good sleighing in the streets of Port Jervis. The snow fell to the depth of nearly two feet and in the country the sleighing lasted about a week. So don’t find so much fault with that fickle cherub, Miss Spring, if she fails to don her vernal . habiliments or deck her regal head with buds or blossoms,as soon as you think she should, Eemember, we can’t have every thing as we want it in this world, if we could I ’d put in an early application for “ forly^hcres and a mule,” I have been informed by the keeper of Laurel Grove Cemetery that there are 22 bodies now lying in the receiving vault awaiting interment. Some of the bodies have been there for some months. The last one placed there was that of Benj. A. Bidlack, who died at Lebanon, Pa. While talking of the late Mr. Bidlack, I will stop to correct an error made by Col. Pine, the Milford correspondent of the Gazette. Before doing so I desire to say that I have neither desire nor incli nation to offend that gentleman or enter into any discussion with him, as the most cordial relations exist between us. He Stated that “deceased was a son of B. A. Bidlack, who edited the Northern Eagle some 60 years ago.” He is better posted on Keystone journalism than I am anil his memory dates back further, but still 1 think he exTS in this. The Northern EagU was started by Dr. Edward Haliday during the war. It was Republican from top to bottom and as such doctrines were extremely distasteful to Pike couutians.it was a failure in a financial sense, and soon gave up the ghost. Haliday was at that time a man of great means and he liberally supplied the “ sinews of war.” He owned the residence now occupied by Jacob Kleiuhans. The piper the Col. has refer ence to was the Herald, now the Pispatch, tlie name of which was changed by tbo present proprietor, Hon. M. D. Mott, after he bought the plant from Jas. H. By a strange coincidence I was called to the ancestral home of the Paughcaugh- naughsinqu® tribe of Red Men at Middle- town on thel6;h sleep of the present moon (which in Anglo-Saxon means last Mon day night) and while skirmishing around for a little fire-water who should I meet on the same trail but a number of Musk- wink’s (.fudge Allerton’s) braves and young bucks. They were on tbe war path. While Glasses on-theNose was’tell- ing me of the suffering of his tribe on the Deerpark reservation, w ho should come into sight in true Indian file'but Govern, ment Agent Jim and Len. S.raight-as-an- arrow (the young papoose from German town who plays the pig act), was the first to detect their approach, and be gave the war-whoop by uttering a loud “Ugh!” The braves set up a war-dance and I feared that two more scalps would dangle from Musk wink’s buckler. Not so, how ever. They knew that Len had waropun and Jim could get fire-water. Peter Piper tbe Tory, (Wilton -Bennel) made “ heap talk” to tbe two pale faces. It was a stunner, and knocked the speech‘ot Lo gan, the Mingo chief, in a cocked hat. After the bucks got their skins full, they behaved quite well—for savages. In due time tuey took the trail for the Deer- park wigwams .with words of undying love and friendship for the Wallkills. And when the remnant of the tribe arrived in the land of the Delawares, Muskwink and all the other decent Injuns took themselves to their wigwams. One young brave took the trail up Pike street in quest of fight or fire-water until be arrived at Thos. Laldley’s cigar store. He saw another Red Man Of the war-like tribe o f Minisink Standing grimly in the twilight With his blanket wrapped around him. Then to him spake this brave Delaware: “ Behold me. I am Blood-ln-the-Eye, Thy people’s scalps are in my wigwam; Thy men are N. G. and skinny women. They take a sneak before the brave Delaware Like the corner loafer before ’Gus Harneit Or the muskrat before the Delaware freshet. Ugh! Ugh!” But nothing spake Tom Laidley’s Injun. Listen, dog. Thy race I ’ve hunted By the dark and silent Neversink, Near Sam Eowler’s ruined mansion And Benj. Van Fleet’s cosy farm house. When the stars were on the water, When the sap was in the maple And Alf. Gilman’s town was ruined; When the flower was on the dogwood, And the coim was in the tassel. And the conductors held their clam-bake; When the red was on the sumach, .. And the fire was on Point Peter; When the snow was in the valley, And the blizzard in its tu r y ; When the Dems. had no opposition Have I hunted for thy warriors. Ugh! U gh!” But Tom Laidley’s Injun opened not his fly-trap. Then went the Delaware for the silent Injun With his scalping-knife uplifted, Felt he for the shining fcalp-lock! Then he started back in amazement, Like Pat Giblin’s pugnacious bull dog. Backward fell in great amazement. Then spake he to the sUent warrior, Like Boss Jacob to the party: “ A fraud you are, I fear m e ; You be one d— n wooden Injun; You be one d ----- n sign for white man; You be Laidley’s wooden Injun. Ugh! U g h !” Night officer James McLaughlin brought him to his senses and started him for home. The lager beer war is on, and at present the outcome is difficult to predict. Port Jervis hasn’t felt the shock yet. The only parties who are prepared for a siege are the three Kadels and Ed Gei'enheimer. Kxdel Bros, of the Star Hotel have the largest stock on band, about 100 kegs, I believe. Bernard Fueith, who hauls more beer than any carman in t.>wn, says “ Port.TerYls vas all recht.” Tne Prohibitionists are the only parties who are disinterested in the fight. A promi nent representative of that belief, with whom I conversed on the matter, said it reminded him of the saying of an Oakland Valley wife, who wasn’t living on the best of terms with her husband, when the latter had a desperate encounter with a Sullivan county bear—“ Go it b’ar; Go it or man; I don’t care a d ---- who licks.” There is considerable interest mani tested by our German contingent about the condition of the dying Kaiser. At present there is a dark cloud hanging over the Fatherland. I do not wish to pose in tbe light of pessimist, but I must say 1 fear the worst is yet to come. Blood will certainly flxw when the new Kaiser as sumes the reins of government. He may be sustained by the Iron Chancellor time, but it’s got to come. iron C for a —The Boston Store XJudressed 1 Glove, at $1.28, old price $1.50, i every pair guaranteed. Beats ’em all. A VERY SUCCESSFUL HOP T H E LAUREL C O T E R IE HAS ONE OF ITS ENJOITABLE R E C E P T IO N S . A L a rge G atliering o f In v ited G u ests a t F a r n m n H a ll L a s t E v e n ing — T h e M arch, a n d by w h o m Led—Some o f th e Visitors f rom O u t o f T o w n —T h e S a p p e r Between the hours of 9 and 10 o’clock, last evening, gay parties of our young folk began to assemble at Paruum’s Hall, up town. It was the evening of the third social hop of tbe Laurel Coterie. By 10 o’clock the hall was as full as it was con venient to have it, and tbe familiar strains of Clune’s orchestra broke upon the air. The procession of pleasure seek ers had formed in line, and with the first notes of music every left foot was raised and brought down on the musical accent with a unity of force that made the solid floor vibrate like a small ocean wave. Mr. John F. Maguire, President of the club, and Miss Emma Davis led the grand march. Round and round the long pro cession sped, now in single file, and again m columns two and sometimes four deep. The march was grandly conducted, and enjoyed quite as much by the on-lookers as by the actors themselves. Qiadrilles, lanciers, schottisches and waltzes formed the remainder of the pro gram with intermission for supper, which was had at tbe Park Hotel ac..0S3 the street. The supper was all that could be desired, and was indulged in with a relish and power of consumption that did jus- ticfii to the excellent preparation of the various dishes. This was one of the largest and in every sense the most successful hop that this club has held during the present season. The club is constautly growing in num bers, and the intere-t in its soc al affairs is certainly increasing. A pleasanter or jollier select party than that which formed the circle last evening would be bard to find,, and we fail to meet one who docs It denominate it the grandest success of the season. Besides the mony guests of the club from town and vicinity, there were many present from neighboricg towns, among whom were the following: H. A. Williams and wife and E. S. Millet of SusquebanEa. Miss Sadie Bums of New York city. Miss Nellie Tampane of Mid dletown, W. J. Sheehan of Deposit, W. J. Ryan of Hohokus, and J. H. Ander son of Huguenot. During the intermission for supper those' who were so fortunate as to find places at the first table, were treated, after tbeir repast, to a vocal solo from Mbs Juba Reeves of St. Mary’s choir. This was certainly a treat as all who heard it testify as well as all others who are at all acquainted with Miss Reeve’s vocal talent. The party broke up at a reasonable hour, and it is safe to predict that those who wended their way cheerfully home ward will make strenuous eflurts to be present at the next social hop of tbe Laurel Coterie.

AN E N T E R P R ISIN G TOWNSMAN. Mr. John Finneran of Biithel, Sullivan county, was met on the streets cf Port Jervis recently with a new hand-made single harness, which be had purchased of T. A. Collins, our enterprising saddler of Front street. Mr. Finneran informed T he U nion reporter that he bought good stock and workmanship at a price much below what he would have to pay in other places for a poor harness. “ Well,” be said, “ I could get a good factory harness of Mr. Collins cheaper than I could get it any other place, where I have inquifed, but I preferred to take this as I am sure that everything is all right.” The reporter went around to see Mr. Collins and inquired about his business. You see,\ he replied, “ I never try to cnange the inevitable. When people want cheap harness I know where the best factory goods can be found for the least money, and give my customeri the benefit of my experience. I don't sell factory harness made by children.\ LIST O F UNCLAIM E D LETTERS. The following is the list of unclaimed letters in the postofflee at Port Jervis, N.

A Very S u p e rior E n tertain m e n t in Store for P o r t J e r v i s P e o p le. The members of the Port Jervis Amateur Opera'Company have reason to feel pleased at the evidences of public appreciation of their work, shown in the sale of seats for tbeir forthcoming renditions of tbe Bells o f Corneville. The chart for the first evening shows nearly all the better seats to be sold, as well as both lower boxes. There are still seats for both nights to be had, but they are steadily going off. This geuerous patronage shows that the people of this village are willing to pat ronize good entertainments and to pay reasonable prices for the same. The seats are sold for these performances at 75 aud 50 cents, while the general admission is 35 c-ntg. We get such a flood of worthless, ^rashy shows at the Opera House, not cne in twenty of the past y ear have been worth seeing or hearing, toat we are all glad to oatronize so good a performance as this of the “ Oaimes ” promises to be. We learn from the Director that the new scenery, expressly painted for these representations by Seavey, the scenic ar tist of New Tors, hasarrivtd and that it will be in place for the rehearsals pre.< ceding the public performances. Nothing has ever been seen here which has been so well costumed as will be the Chimes. Four sets of new scenery and brilliant cos tumes, with a well-drilled company of fifty amateurs, make a combination worthy of any patronage the house will allow, A GULLIBLE FA R M E R . H e Loses S I ,200 w ith Two Strangers a n d th e n Thinks H e is Sw indled. Two strangers gained tne confidence of Nelson Porter, a wealthy farmer, about 70 years of age, residing near Brownsville, Pa., by negotiating for the purchasO of his farm. They finally induced him to play a game of poker with them. PoUer drew $1 200 from the Brownsville Bank, Wednesday, and this sum he gave to one of the men to play for him against the other. Porter was to have half the win nings. Tne money was of coarse lost and the men left together taking the cash with At tbis point it flashed upon tbe conn- tryman that he had been swindled, and he caused the arrest of one of the gamblers but the culprit was released.
