ORIGIN OF NEwspApERs.-D'Tsraeli,
in the. first volume ofhis Curiosities Of
Literature, gives very interesting
and minute account Of the origin OF
newspapers with historical facts con.
cerning their introduction in the vari.
Gus European nations. He states
that we are indebted to the Italians
for the idea of newspapers. The first
paper was Venetian one, and only a
monthly; but it was merely the news.
paper Of the government. The title of
the GaScdas, was perhaps derived from
Gazzera. magpie, or chatter, or more
probably from iarthing coin peculiar
to the city Of Venice called gazctta,
which was the common price of the
newspapers. These early newspapers
were not allowed by jealous govern
rnent to be circulated in printed form,
but the Venetian Gazette continued
long after the invention of printing, to
! be distributed in manuscript. In n
library ut Florence are thirty volumes
of the Venetian gazcttes al. in manu-.
script. Mr.. George Chalmers states
that mankind are indeptcd to the
wisdom of Queen Elizabeth, and the
prudence Of Burlcigh, for the first
genuine ncwpaper. In the British
Museum are several newspapers which
were in the English Channel, during
tue year 1888. Popular zeal against
the Spanish Armada was inflamed in
these early newspapers. Burleigh, in
order 10 rouse the national feeling,
published extracts Of letter from
Madrid which speaks Of putting the
English Queen to death, and the
instrument of torture on,the Spanish
fleet These early copies Of newspa
pers are in Roman, not blank letter.
They arc entitled =" English Aecurie." y
Periodical papers were first generally
used in England during the civil wars
Mt the period Of the Commonwealth.
De Saint Folk, in his curious histori.
cal essays, gives the origin Of newspa.
pers i'll France. Renaudor, physi-
clan OF Paris, to arnusc his patients,
was great collector Of rews, and he
found by these means that he was
more sought after than his more
learned brethren. But as he had much
leisure and was quite fond Of collecting
news, he obtained a privilege from the
Government in 1852, to publish a
summary of the news Of the various
countries. to distribute among his
patients. 1t is almost needless to add
that his patrons were soon found in
all ranks, and his written sheets were
in greater demand than his written
prescriptions

SUDDEN DEATH OF A LInEnr1NE.-
The following strange tale appears in
the Paris Droit:-A young man aged
about thirty, dressed with extreme
elegance, arrived at the station of the
ltonen railway about ten days ago
lie was accompanied by young
female, who was also most elegantly
at,ircd. Almos, Immediately after he
aliShted from the train he was taken
i'll, and in a short time manifested all
the symptoms Of poisoning. He was
conveyed into the nearest hotel, and
there, though medical assistance was
promptly procured, he died in great
agony. On his being taken i'll, the
female by whom he was accompanied
disappeared, and all attempts to dis
cover he, were vain. It being strongly
suspected that he had died of poison,
information was given to the nagis.
trates. On examining his pockets, a
nu nbcr Of portraits of females, of
rings, locks OF hair, innumcrablc love
letters, and other trophies ola favorite
OF the ladies, were found. Only one
Of the letters contained the address OF
the writer. The Mayor of Roucn gave
information Of the death TO the Prrfec.
of Police, at Paris; and from inquiries
which the police, by the prefect's
orders, instituted, it became rather
widely known. The consequence was,
that tho Mayor Of Roucn received
great number Of letters from females
in different positions in society, claim
ing the deceased, but though all agreed
in describing him as remarkably good
looking, aud all expressed profound
sorrow at his .de.,th, no twoof them
gave him the same lnane.. The lady
who put her address to the love letter
found on him, was sought out and
questioned; and she gave him name
different from that Of all her rivals
The real name of this Don Juan hus

inquiries are made, the more difficult

From an examination made of the
body, it appears that he died, not of
poison, but Of a sudden attack of chol.

"A CoMpLlMESr.-Ihe Montgomery
Mail, speaking Of South Carolina and
of the selection "i> her public men,
pays her the following compliment:
No State in the Union has been SO
uniformly jealous of her character in
this particular. Virginia has been
famed for her regard for men Of stand
ing and ability, and Massachusetts has
been always disposed to put her best
talent forward. But of late years they
have fallen below their old standard.
while South Carolina has continued tn
use her finest mind, SO far as it was
available for her service. We mag
inc that in no State has demagogueisln
less sway and genuine ability reader
Glance for success. Politics still re.
tain some dignity i'll South Carolina;
but in most Of the States mans ad.
va"cement in public life depends on Il
goodly number of outside accompani.

The natural result is beginning to be
sufficiently apparent. Our best men,
in many sections of the Union, are
seeking other fields and other harvcsts,

in Congressional and Executive talent.
Time may bring about reform. The
old patriarch his done many good
things i'll his day, and he is not yet
too old to right up matters in this por.
lion of his dominion. Without any
sort of doubt, the American people see
the error of allowing their best men
to fly from public life, and dedicate
their intellectual worth tc ether nuc
