Old NeWspapers.

Odndle OF old newspapers, some PRINT
in 1888, others in 1923, 1918, lS19.le0;
nd one old customer, in 1901. These
elics of the past, were presented to US a
hort time ago, by friend, living at She
oygan, who will please accept our thanks
herefor. The Port Folio" was printed
b Philadelphia September 5th, 1901, by
oliver Oldschool, Esq At that time, but
cry few of those who will read this article,
ad seen the light of day. Two generations
ave come and gone since Mr.. Old:chool
boxed upon this issue of his paper, and
ronounced it good. And it still remains
good paper, though its mechanical APP
earance is not quite up to the present
< lyle. 1t is about foot square, quarto,
md of very coarse paper, but the printing
good and plain; we have not space for
extended quotations from any of these pa
bers, and SO, will pass The Port Folio
With one or two. 1t says: 1.-THE Federalists
have not yet learned how to conduct a
yreat cause. They feel as if it was not
bf importance enough to them to pay a
itt.s money to forward their measures"
So it seems that our respected ancestry,
honest old fashioned chaps, that they were,
mixed a little money, with their politics.
La relation to foreign affairs, the paper
Bays that. Buonaparte is grieveusly afiict-
ed with the rheumatism, but the torment of
an acute disorder does not appear to de-
bilitate the forces of his mind. !"
poULsoN DAILY ADVERTISER.
This paper was printed in Philadelphia
lon February 4th, 1903 by Zachariah Poul-
son, and is one of the 32d volumn, showing
that the paper bad been published, at that
time, 32 years, or since I'll. 1t had
doubtless taken an active part in the war
of the Revolution had advocated the
election of Washington, first as Commander
in chief, then as President, but we cannot
tell, but editor in his younger days, might
have been Tory" at least lie was a Re
! publican in 1903, for he is very indignant,
because, "Mr Van Ingen, Republican,
is turned out Of the Office Of clerk OF the
assembly of the State of New York, and
Mr. Seuthuick, Democrat is put in his
place." and That the session should he
prolonged four or five days on account Of
the rejection Of the man to whom exper
ience had given advantage, to the cost Of
the State Of two thousand dollars" and
then goes on to show to its readers beyond
doubt, that the Democratic party will
bankrupt the State, unless checked.
In another column of the paper, is an
account of a presentation of a portrait of
Washington, by Geo. W z. Curtis, Ed,
to the Alexandra Academy. This portrait
used to hang in Washington parlor
Agan, we find in another place, a card
Of NJ. John Hawkins. wherein he wants
eyeybo1y TO come to his Museum and
have their likeness taken, aud this is hoN
he does it:
1.-The person whose portrait is to lie tax
en- is seated upon a chair, with the cheek
resting upon a rrojec ing piece OF board
that the head may b. kept steady, in one
position. A brass ruler is then passed
over the head and face, and a metallic pin
which makes parallel movements with the
ruler, marks the exact pro lie upon a small
sheet OF paper, and such likeness cost
lone cent" We find this receipt for max
ing safe, cheap, night lamp" 'FIIl a
tin vessel, the size and form of common
tea saucer, with cold hogs lard. Put in
the centre, brown paper wick, this will
consume in one night, about one ounce of
fat. -
On Feb. 1st, 1903, Mr. Israel Israel, E~q.,

General Goal delivery" lie calls upon
every body interested, including jurors, wit

THE EMPORIAN,
Published in Trenton, N. j., April 18th,
1923. There is no news in this paper, worth
reading, we also up to this time, see no
improvement in the quality of the paper
