The Return of Mr.. Seward.

Mr.. SEWARD will be among us again in q
day or two. He returns from long jour.
ney, during which he has seen much that is
of the highest interest to the people of the
United States. No longer connected with
any party organization, OF involved H. any
selfish political conflicts, he stands like THE
Sun, on an independent, patriotic platform,
and takes alright philosophic view of the
condition of affairs seeing and condemning
oil the rascality and the rascals, but seeing
beyond and above them the dawn Of better
day He is the most illustrious son of whom
New York can boast, and he is coming home
after long wandering in distant lands and
among strange races of men-but lands and
men all of them closely connected with our.
selves.
OF course there will be popular ovations
20 welcome the venerable statesman back
TO his native land, but we trust that in this
great city, at least they will not bear any
narrow or partisan character. Let US all
meet Mr.. SEWARD as an old friendand shake
him by the hand, and do him fitting honor
hnd let us listen to the lessons Of cheerful,
hopeful wisdom that he has to impart Why
should not the Corporation Of New York or.
ganize great reception for Linn at the Acad.
emy of Music, where he can be seen and
heard by the thousands who admire and love
him? The Mayor and Common Council can
thus do themselves great credit, and confer
upon their fellow citizens pleasure which
will be deeply priced.

ITS SEDeFoR TWENTY MINUTES. -
A good story is told Of an English judge
visiting penal institution. and being
practically disposed, the learned jud &c
philanthropically trusted himself on the
trcadmill desiring the warden to set. it
in motion. The machine was according
ly adjusted, and his lordship began to
lift his feet. In few minutes, however
the new hand had quite enough Of it,
and called to be released, but this was
not So easy. ''Please. my lord" said the
man, lyon can't get off. It's set for
twenty minutes that's the shortest time
we can make it GO So the judge was
in durance until his term expired

The history of the German wa- for
independence from French rule, passes
silently by the shameful event which
took place iu the Fortress Of Wcsel,
which ccst the lives of eleven as brave
young soldiers as ever brcathed. Up to
this time hut few particulars have come
before the public relative to this bloody
tragedy. An old veteran Of SehllPs
Corps, Dr. Purch, Regimental Physician
at Potsdanl, perhaps the only now living
eye witness of the bloody drama at
Wesel, describes the execution of those
young officers as follows:
Early on a dreary Autumn day, Octo-
Der l6, 1903, ofders were received from
Napoleon, ordering the Immediate exc
| cutiou of the eleven young Prussian
| members of Schilfs Corps, then held as
prisoners of war in the fortress of Wesel
Preparations were immediately made for
the carrying into effect the orders re-
ceived and the execution took place at
one o'clock on the same afternoon. Early
IN the morning the gates leading to the
city were closed the guard reinforced
and orders issued prohibiting all gather.
ines of citizens in the streets. With
drums beating, a large detachment of
troops took up its line of march from the
citadel to the place of execution. The
vanguard was formed by a troop of
mounted men armed with carbines and
ready to make use of their arms at any
moment. Following these came de-
tachment of grenadiers, and then sixty
six cannoniers for the execution, in whose
midst the eleven prisoners marched with
firm and steady pace, the irons still on,
clashing and grating at every step. Their
names were:

There seems to be a great consump-
ton Of brain power on the daily journal
ism of America. 1t has been but a few
months since intelligence of the sudden
death of Henry j Raymond, OF the New
York Times, shocked the reading public
of Christendom. 1t has been but few
days since intelligence of the sudden
death of Charles II Ray brought person
al sorrow to ten thousand hearts, and
feelings Of profound regret to many of
his countrymen in all portions of the
republic. Both of these distinguished
journalists died on the sunny side of fifty
of over w ork Of the brain. Mr.. Raymond
stood at the head of his profession in the
East; DIR. Ray was coniesscdly its most
eminent man in the Interior. The brain
of ca-h suddenly gave way, leaving
physical natures which, with animating
soul, might have lived vigorously on for
years.
Nor are these celebrated journalists
the only ones who have suffered similar
fate, or to avoid it have abandoned jour
nalism for other aud less exacting pur-
suits. Mr. Raymond, it is we'll known,
prepared about as much matter on one
noted day of his editorial life, as would
make volume of Bancroft's History Of
the United States. This condensation
of years work iato days Is not infrequent
in editorial life. 1t is not strange, there
fore, that we all unexpectedly hear that
the silver ord is loosened and the pitcher
broken at the fountain, aud that the
mourners go about the streets, who, only
yesterday, rejoiced with those who to-
day are gone.

prodisious power that causes so many of
our best minds to spend their lives in
productions whose life is like that of the
morning dew, that appeareth for little
time aud then vanisheth away !? There
are, doubtless, many things which make
up this singular power, this fascination,
making newspaper life, to certain active
minds, an irresistible charm. The prin>
clpal cause, however, is to be found, We
think, in the current influence of the
tor, great and skillful in his art, who
should have an audience of fifty thousand
or hundred thousand persons every day
throughout the year. Consider how much
greater would be his influence if by some
means, these Vast audiences could be
doubled, trebled, quadrupled, enlarged
| twenty -1old, by some process 1or the
conveyance of his main arguments to
many audiences. Such actually IS the
influence of the editor of a great newspa-
per. 4 journal which has circulation
of twenty five thousand, will be read by
at least Il hundred thousand persons.
w hat is the voice of man, uttering even
the eloquence of Demosthenes, to this !?
| But this is not all: The brilliant, ring
ing editorials of such writer as DR.. Ray
find their way into journals, and before
their power is exhausted, their voice has
been heard by vast numbers of persons.

who, if he could have had such auditory
as this, would not have talked himself

like tie plow for its dFaught because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow in
stead of the carriage also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood york being con-

The wheels running upon the solid land is nd
