From the Jefersonian (Geauga Coz Democrat
A Plea for the Country Press.


That the. courtry press has never received
the patronage to which it is justly entitled,
even in the most favorable localities is fact,
we believe, universally admitted. How to n-
crease its patronage, and thereby enlarge the
sphere Of its usefulness, is a problem which,
after stating few propositions. we shall leave
those Of our numerous readers who do not
"take the paper" to solve: ..
/. A Country Paper Is local necessity,
and as such more 'uaiuable to erery citizen Of
Tie County than any other. The truth of
this proposition should be too obvious to
require comment 1t is not the size, the
amount of general neys contained. of the
editorial news Contained, or the editorial
ability displayed, or oil these combined,
that infallibly determine the value Of pa.
per, which, like every other article of com
merce, is subject TO the laws Of trade

the Times the Eveaimg Post. the Independent
&c, that can supply the place OF the former
while there is but one that can perform the
Office Of the latter. As regards all matters
of more local or personal concern. the
County Paper alone is indispensable to the
community. 1t is the sole general medium
of public communication among the citizen
Of The several Townships, and betweeI
them and the world at largo. 1t is. then

PosITI0N OF THE CoLoRED RACE IN EU
RoPE.-The Florence correspondent Of the
1ribttns under date of Jan. IL, writes:-
The new year begins with an act of justice
and wisdom in Spain. The administratiui
Of Narvaez acknowledges onpenly that the
annexation Of San Domingo in 1861 was a
mistake. The heroic resistance by the
Dominicaus shows clearly that they do MOI
want to be under the Spanish rule, and as
Spain has no intention to make conquesis
the government give up heir sovereignty
bought from Santa Anna, and withdraw
their troops. Thus proud Spain, de6ed by
handful of mulattoes, avows herself
beaten, the Republican form of government
has one more great triumph to record, and
the colored population Of Dominica has
glorieusly conquered her independence 10

the white race in Secessa say to such a
victory? 1t seems that one generation is
destined to see not only the downfall Of
slavery, but likewise the uuivrsal re

race.

........1
1t was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined
Who went to see the Elephant,
(Though all of them were blind,)
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall,
Against his broad and sturdy side,
AT once began to bawl:
"God bless me-but the Elephant
Is very like WALL
Ill
The Second. feeling of the tusk,
Cried, "Ho! what have we here
So very round, and soomth and sharps
To me It's mighty clear
This wounder Of an Elephant
Is very like spearl"
rr w..
The Third approached the animal,
Aud happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up he spake,
Il see," quoth he ''the Elephant
Is very like snakel"
w..
The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee;
''What most this wondrous beast is like,
Is mighty plain. quothhe;
''T'is clear enough the Elephant
Is very like tree!"
vi.
The Fifth. who chanced to touch the ear
Said, Zen the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most,
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like q. FAM"

TheS i1th no sooner had begun;
About the beast to grope,
Than seizing the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,

Is very like rope!"

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long.
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right.
And all were in the wrong!

So, oft in theologic wars,
The disputants ween,

Ofwhat each other mean,
And dprate about an Elephant
