NEW JERSEY MATTERS. —A case of considerable importance was decided in the Special Court of Camden, at its last session, iu the matter of Owens, qui tarn, plaintifi; vs. Heiman Abrend. The latter was charged with being a peddler under the statute, and was arrested by Samuel Owens, police officer, on the ground of not having license. The case was tried before Mayor Cox, who gave _liniment against him, and imposed the penalty of $5O. The case was argued, on appeal, by James M. Scovel, whose main point was that Abrend visited Camden with samples, but never exposed any wares, goods and merchandise for sale. In consequence of the failure of the prosecutor to show that eiposing a sample and subsequently sending goods from. Philadelphia to Camden was peddling, the Court, Judge Homer presiding, granted a non-suit. In his ,opinion the Judge said that it would be doing violence to the laws of commerce and the laws of common sense to consider any one a peddler who did not travel from door to door selling goods. This ease decides a point in contest for a number of years, and it is a matter of importance to the INEMEM ------- business men of Camden as well as those of Fbiladelphia. a specimen of the evils attendant.uponi headstrong • municipal some time' ago the Council of Gloucester city. ordered; King street to be Paved.

An adventuress is not difficult of detection to a clear vision ; but eyes are used in this world for almost everything but seeing. She varies her. form; • but in the place where her heart was before some man broke it (as she .would say), she is almost always the same. She is usually handsome or bears traces of handsomeness departed or de parting. At least, she looks interesting, and interestingness is the sum of all we seek in humanity, literature and art. She is rarely young, nor is she old. She is of an uncertain age. She may be thirty, she may be less ; she may be forty. She is calm and cold appa rently; but if you study, her, you will' see- her calmness and coldness are the result of severe . sOdiscipline, and in her eye gleams of in tensity ' and anxiety that dart out While her manners are relieving guard. There are certain hard. lines in her face; the soft month has lost its symmetry, the nose is questioning and suspicious, the nostril ex panded as though it knew, each individual had an odor, and were deter Mining to What species he should be assigned. Amiss the brow flit subtle' shadows, and between and over the eyes they gather ever and anon as' if the elec tricity of her system were centering there to burst; and then the lighbning leaps sharp and quickly out below, and a momentary darkness falls from the hair to the defiant chin. Her ears are a trifle prominent, and when you look at them you see they are listening; :listening perhaps for what she will never hear again. Iler form is full, a trifle too full to indicate fine ness and spirituality; and her manner is too de cided and positive to be attractive at first. lier: toilet is somewhat (mire; and there is more. and less of it than there should be, while some of the jewelry might be spared for the sake of taste. But above all there is an expression in her face and her air that declare something has -gone out of her life—something _that rounded and completed her womanhood— something that will never return. She has been a wife and mother; she is not likely to be again, for the memory of that wifehood and maternity makes her shudder, and sends the stratigo almost lurid look out of her eye. She may have a child or children with her, and if you could look into her chamber after mid night you would see her bending over the bed where the little creatures lie, with over bap tizing the whispered prayers for them, which she never utters for herself. Unlike the adventurer, the adventuress has a conscience, feels remorse, suffers for the past, dares not reflect upon the future. When the mental torture comes, she plunges into excite ment and laughs wildest when her heart sinks like burning lead in her bosom. Adventuresses are most at home in the great hotels. Hardly one of the Broadway houses that bas not several of the singular sisterhood. They always avoid each other—are enemies on instinut. Men alone they affect. Without doing anything you can describe, they always attract attention. When they enter the ordinary, or sit in the drawing-room, or walk in the e.or rider, every masculine eye beholds and many masculine eyes follow them. They know, with almost mathematical certainty, the impression they are making, when is their time to glance, to speak, to drop a handkerchief, to write a note. }tithing escapes their acute senses. The man whom they have selected for a dupe is such before he has spoken. What is the boasted reason of our sex to the subtle instincts of theirs They have made men a study as Balzac and Goethe made women a study, and they have found their profit in it, be sure. They grew upon their acquaintances ceptibly but rapidly; and, after a few hours of untrammelled talk, seem like old friends you are bound to assist when trouble comes. It will &me very soon. The adventuress is always in trouble, and she tells so sad a story that you feel during its narration as if you should dry every tear with a hundred dollar note. You aro too liberal altogether. She accepts half the stun; is 'eternally grateful, and the situation changes with the pressure of a hand. ' • =iMiIEMN THE.DAILY
