About De QU1ScEY.-It is related as an in
stance Of De Quincey's carelessness in money
matters, that, having been once arrested for a
debt of twenty pounds in Edinburg, he was
dragged violently to Jail, where he remained
for two weeks. During the period of incarcer-
alton his daughter frequently visited him. and
one day brought new waistcoat, the one he
then wore being somewhat shabby. After De
Quincy had taken of his old vest, his daughter
care!essly examining the pockets discovered n
bank note for thirty pounds, of the existence of
which her father had no knowledge whatever,
and with which, of course, the % pound debt
was instantly discharged.
De Quincy, when he writes, filings each sheet
as soon as finished over his shoulder, and never
sees it again. His daughters gather up the
scattered leaves, arrange and correct them and
hawk them amongst the magazine editors for
sale. For long time De Quinccys nervousness
from opium was SO great that he was obliged to
wax fourteen miles day in order to procure
two hours sleep at night. The way in which
this was accomplished was curious. The drca.
mer had mile measured on neighboring road
and at one extremity placed heap of seven
stones. When the journey was to commence
De Quincy took up a stone and carriedit to the
other end Of the mile, then returned for another
;lntil the pile was exhausted. This necessity of
.arrying the stones prevented De Quincy from
orgelting the number of miles he had walked.
which would otherwise be highly probable.

Tue NEWSPAPER IL AMRRICA.-Ehe newSp9
per in the New World dates back to an earlier
period than our annalists generally allow. In
the Dictionary of Dates by Putnam, It Is
stated in accordance with the general belief,
that the first American newspaper was the Bos-
ton News Letter of 1903. In the Suite paper
office at London, there is however, a copy Cper-
haps the only one cxtan0 of a folio newspaper
| sheet printed at Boston and bearing the date of
September Goth, 1890. This little herald Of
knowledge created alarm among the powers that
were, and its publication was intcrdieted and
suspended e
Nearly fourteen years later-upcn the Goth
April, 1704A-the News Letter was first publish
cd and the period of its continuance exceeded
the respectable age Of ''three score years and
ten" 1t appeared only weekly, and was at first
printed upon a sheet not much larger than a
| letter page, not folded, with two columns upon
each side. Its subscription price was not stated,
but it was announced that it would be supplied
upon reasonable terms to persons agreeing
with John Campbell, postmaster, for the same"
1t is worthy of mention, perhaps, that the early
newspaper publishers were nearlp oil postmnst-
ers: a fact that may be accounted for by the
facilities which their Office gave them for the
circulation of their Journals.
| Forlifteen years, the News Letter was.
without a rival near the throne,'
when, all at once, two other journals sprung up,
| to challenge the favor ana patronage OF tue
reading public These were the Gazette, at
Boston, and the American Mercury, at Philadcl-
phia; which were SO nearly twins in birth that
they hear dates of two consecutive days in the
year 1919.
In 1921, James franklin commenced the pub
LEGATION of the Courant, the rivalry between
which print and the Newsletter gave an i'm
pulse and new vitality to the latter, and increas
ed the public interest in newspaper literature.
l The Newsletter was loyal to the mother coun-
try, to the close of its existence, with the tern
nation of the seige Of Boston in 17T6. The
| Coarant attacked the Government and its off,
GERS, and its lampoons were frequently severe
and even bitter. In less than six months JAS.
! Franklin was forbidden by the council to pub
lish it, an order with whichhe complied, though
the paper continued with the name of Benjamin
franklin, now so memorable in the annals of
Typography. 1t ceased altogether in 1927.
It was not until the year 1925, 81 years after
the first date of the Newsletter, and when
Boston had three papers, that the first newspa-
per made its appearance in New York, where
now the Journals exceed in number and extent
of circulation those Of any city upon this con-
tinent e In 1871, the newspaper pushed its way
as far South as Charleston, which had its Ga
zette, the sixth regular journal in the United
States, aud just in advance Of the first Rhode
Island newspaper. Virginia followed, with the
Williamsburg Gazette in 1896, and, at the time
of the revolution, the number Of colonial news
papers amounted to 81.

Edward Everett on the occasion of delivering
his famous address on the lilc and character Of

u the pleasure-with which he always dwelt on
this theme, continued rs follows:
"But with tho satisfaction which feel at ad-
dressing you at this time, arc mingled profound
anxiety aud grief. A sadness which strive in

ces of tho past week; and serious apprehension
forces itself upon my mind that events are even
now in train with an impulse too mighty to be
restrained which will cause our beloved coun-

Obi my good friends, these arc events which,
for the good name, peace, and safety of our
country, Il were well worth all the gold of Cali

christian. They awaken doubts whether the
trials, sacrifices and sutferings of our fathers for
the sake Of founding higher and purer and
freer civilization in this Western continent than
theCworid has vet seen, have not been in vain.
P6r myself they all me with sorTow too deep for
