THE FIRST NEWSPAPER IN VIReINiA.--Palm.
er's Register states the first press in Virginia
was imported by The city of Wiamsburgh, in
1880. The prices of advertising and subscrip.
lions of those times are thus stated in the fol.
lowing extract from the terms Of the paper, con.
tanned in its first issue -
"AII persons may be supplied with this paper
al fifty dollars year, and have advertisement
(of moderate lengthy inserted at ten dollars
the first tceek and seven dollars for each week
aiier."
IL should be recollec,ed, too, that this was
weekly paper, making cost TO subscribers about
ninely.six cents a number. Nowadays, many
persons pay reluctantly, ninety-six cents per an
nun for a weekly paper. .-

Power OF IMAGINATIoN.-A year since Eliisb
Barns. of Pennsylvania, killed rarllesnake in
his field, without snY injury 10 himself, and i'm.
medately aGer put on his sons waistcoat, both
being of one color. He returned 70 bis house,
and, on attempting to button his waistcoat, he
found, 10 his aslonishment, that It was much 100
small. His imagination was now wrought 10
high pitch, and be Instantly conceived the idea
that he had been imPercePlibly bitten by the
snake. and was thus swollen from the poison
He grew suddenly very i'll, and took to his bed.
The family, in great alarm and confusion, sum-
moned three physicians, and the usual remedies
were prescribed and administered. The patient,
however, grew worse every minute, unll aI
length his son came home with bis fathers waist
coat dangling about him. The mystery was
soon unfolded, and the patient, being relieved
from his imaginary aPprehensions, dismissed
his physicians, and was restored to health.

Progress OfLlbertV,

Ii is an old adage. thai there is but one step
between demagOgueism and despoIism. Let
US see:
The demagogues get a majority in the con.
venlion to frame the new constitution.
They district the STATE so as 10 secure the DO.
lidcal power in their own hands, as they sup.
pose, for an indefinite period.
They provide thar The people shall have no
chance to elect legislators olIener Than once in
two years. The Legislature meets. The first
step Is to break down their own constitution,
and give good job To their chief advOcals-lhe
PRIMER.
They then vote themselves four dollars a
day.
Then comes in the Board Of Public Works
and orders all railroad bridges to be torn down
which, IL done, puts an end 10 speedy travel
from one part ofIhe State TO another.
They hold the State Treasury, and now il
they break down the banks they will have the
money power Of the State 10 their control.
Then they propose TO deprive the people Of
their lawful arms under pretence Of lending
them 10 KOssuIh. The constitution expressly
secures to the people the right to bear arms,
but what is that right practically good for when
there are no arms TO be hadl
We do not charge that the design is to create
an olgarchy under the name Of Democracy.
but if such were The design, they have adopted
the most obvious means to accomplish it.
Are the majority in the present Legislature
Coolsi lf not, what have they been engaged
about during this long session. How have they
earned their four dollars a day! We do not
charge them with deep laid design to dsarm
The people and establish an oigarchy. We do
not know ina. they are capable Of any deep laid
design; but il they are, what sort Of design
does their action indicate upon the liberties OF
the Peoplei II it is all observation-disclosures
blunder, il is certainly a very curious turn for
afSirs to take among sincere friends Of the peo.
