MAUMEE CITY EXPRESS.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, 80, 1889.

The HEspERIAN.-We have neglected
for some time, to notice this truly excellent
periodical, the rather, because we supposed
that being now fairly before the public, its
own appearance would be its best recon-
mendation, and it would stand in little need
Of that newspaper luudation, which, when
written with the most honest Intentions, is
by most readers, considered but mere
puffery. We are, however, sorry to learn
that the publishers of the Hesperian are
not receiving an adequate reward for their
arduous labors for the real good of the pub
lie, and if such be the case, they shall not
want word from us, which, if it can do no
good, will certainly do no injury.
There is manly tone in the papers of
the contributors to the Hesperian, the want
of which is visible in many of the periodi-
Gals of the day, which professedly hold the
same rank-there is total absence of that
silly affnctation for far fetched phrases
which is the prevailing sin of many of the
popular writer's of the day--there is evi-
dence of a sturdy determination OIL the part
of the conductors, to make healthy toned,
thoroughly American periodical, which me-
rits all praise and encouragement.
The Hesperian has especial claims upon
the people of the west. tits among them:
its conductors and contributors are mainly
western men; many of Its most valuable
papers have been devoted to our interests,
and it has stood forth boldly as the vindica-
tor of western talent; andif a silly eastern
monthly, devoted to horse racing, snipe
shooting, tailoring and millinery can gain
support, surely the Hesperian should make
the fortunes of its conductors.

DEoENcY.-They had an editorial con-
vention a: Columbus last summer, where
some very excellent resolutions were passed
enjoining editors from talking bad language
to each other. We think we can see the
good effect of these things in some Of the
Columbus papers. and in particular; in the
81 atesman, who talks az follows to his friend
and cotemporary, Mr.. Bryan. "We shall
not even sensconce' ourselves behind meg
lect, and we hurl back the dastardly insin-
uation in your degraded teeth, and defy
your co,0ardly sneaking malice" A first
rate mello,u dram -atist is your Mr.. Madei-
RAJ Always cooked and primed for stage eff
feet. Why, there's more birthstone in his
noddle than In Mount Etna, and more fire
than there is in box of Lucifer matches.
and yet how he restrains it all, and how
gently he has learned to talk, since the
Convention! Odds preambles and primary
assemblies ant it right curiousl

EDUCATING A WrFE.-From the "Journal
Of Aaron Burr" during his residence in
Europe, just published by the lIarpcrs, the
following curious narrative is extracted.
Perry, the proprietor of the Morning
Chronicle, has now an income Of EI0,0O0 per
annum. Born in the north Of Scotland and
having received good classical education,
at the age of twenty he paiked 10 London to
seek his fortune. lie had left on his arrival
two and sx.pcnce. For some time he near
ly starved. AT length he got employment,
and small wages, from the editor of the
Morning Chronicle, and subsequently he
became principal editor, and then a partner,
and finally, sole proprietor. At the age of
forty he was wealthy. Happening to make
! n journey in the country, he saw in a mil
liners shop a girl, with whose beauty and
manner he was greatly smttcn. lie begged
leave TO repeat his visit--at the second in
tcrvicw, he told her he would marry her, but
added, ] am a man of fortune, and wish to
live Hospitality, and to make my friends hap.
py at home. ] am not accustomed to society
and must have a wife who can do the honors
of my house with grace and dignity, and
fashion. Now you have seen nothing of the
world, and know even less of the matters
than do; but you have talents, and would
presently become lady, if you were under
proper advantage. Then, if you will GO to
Paris, and spend two years there to perfect
yourself, | will furnish the means, and marry
you on your return" The lady who was
seventeen, was not long balancing on so hard
a condition. She went TO Paris, passed the
two years under every advantage which
money could procure, returned an accom-
plished lady, and all that Perry could wish.-
They married, and have six lovely children
She has been the pride Of his heart, the orna.
ment Of his house, and the admiration OF his
friends.

the same kind, but doubt whether there be

much Indignation was excited by the
conduct Of the Niagara that even the
seamen broke out in open murmurs but
Commodore Perry requested the sfhcers
to silence every complaint against Capt.
Elliott and he was desirous that public
atte ntion might not be attracted 10 any
differences in the fleet. His efficial ac-
count when read at Erie gave much dis
satisfaction To most Of the officers.
/ There were many other documents IN
corroborat,on Of the preceding, within
the control Of the family OF Commodore
Perry, but they chose to publish only
the evidence of those officers who were
living. and in the United States at the
time and in adherence to this determi-
nation, the evidence Of Lieuis. Packet
and Yarnall, the former Of whom had
commanded the Ariel, and the latter had
been first Lieut.. on board the Lawrence,
and who were then both dead, was with
held.
In regard TO the evidence adduced by
Capt. Elliott, which had been sufficient
y nouiralIZed or invalidated, it was sta
ted that Lieuts. Smith and Edwards, and
Purser Magrath, were deceased-that
Lieut.. Conklin and Mr.. s. Wardwell
Adams, were no longer ip the navy, and
that there was no officer in the Amcri-
can fleet bearing the name of w. Mich
oils, one Of the Witnesses Of Captain e.
lott.

The former seeming content to acquicsce
IN the position IN which he had been pla-
ced by the friends OF Commodore Perry,
provided he were permitted to retain the
rank he held and still holds in the navy.
But MIR. Cooper, who has long been re-
gardcd as his own worst enemy, has on
this occasion proved himself the worst
enemy also OF his friend. After the lapse
Of eighteen years he has thought proper
To revive the memory of events which,
for the reputation and interest Of that
friend, should have been buried in o.
blivlon- and after a whole generation
nearly has passed away, and many OF
the Witnesses Of the transaction have
gone with it, he has deliberately pcDned
an account of it, intended for postcrity,
from the statements of Capt. Elliott, and
the evidence Of his Witnesses, and quoted
in their support the official encomium of
Com. Perry, without allording the least
hint or intimation TO the readers of his
history, that the former had been lalsi6-
ed, and the latter retracted. Uniortu-
nately for his purpose, but most prOvi-
dcniially for the fame of one of the most
able and gallant Of our naval heroes, he
was provoked in his lifetime to pcrpctu-
ate the testimony which we have now
adduccd to vindicate his conduct-not
from the aspcrsions Of a malignant rival,
for his envcnomed shafts had fallen
harmless from the panoply Of truth and
honor in which the character he assailed
was armed but from the partial and
deceptive representations and the gratui-
tous and insidious defence Of one, who
has assumed the Office and responsibility
Of an historian, and hopes that his work
may be appealed to as an authentic re-
cord, by future generations, and to the
latest age. 1t shall not be our fault if
the bane be not accompanied by the an
tidote.

sun clear, which with the frequent and cop

HEAVY DAMAGES were awarded last week
in the Court of Common Pleas of Cincinnati,
in a suit brought against the captain, clerk
and mate of the steamboat Gazelle, for an
assault and battery committed on passcn.
ger, under the following circumstances:
Upon Sd juno, 1897, the plaintiff took pas.
sage on the defendants boat at Portsmouth,
for Cincinnati. About one o'clock the mex,
morning, the defendants caught plaintiff, and
dragged him to the side of the boat, where
one of the defendants flouriShed what one Of
The Witnesses thought knife, and used abu-
slve and threatening language. Plaintiff
was then forced to the stern of the boat, pu,
in the yawl, taken by the mate toward the
shore, beaten into the yawl, and before reach
ing the shore, was thrown into the river
When put into the yawl, plaintiff requested
defendants to give his valise, containing
clothes and letters Of introduction 10 rcspec.
table persons in Cincinnati, which was re-.
fused. Plaintiff was left by the boat on the
Kentucky shore. sixty miles from Cincinnati,
about one o'clock at night. The plaintiff ad
duced the evidence of about dozen Of the
most respectable gentlemen, physicians. and
others, Of his native county in New York,
that he had always sustained high charac.
ter for integrity, correct bearing, and appl-
cation to his studies and business.
The defence set up was that the plaintiff
was deck passenger, and that some man,
wearing drab cout, was seen to enter the
cabin with his candle. Plaintiff when found
had on drab coat, but was not proven to be
the man. 1t was then proposed to prove, by
a custom Of the river, that whenever deck
passenger entered the cabin, he was put on
shore. The court in charging the jury stated
that the defence only aggravated the case.
Verdict for the plaintiff, $6,7G6.
