EEwspApERs-PAsT AND PRESENT,

The Louisville Ledger was started by
lot of Bourbon Democrats because the
Louisville COurier-JoupdJ would not
tr1ckle to and do the bidding of Kentucky
politicians. It was edited and controlled
bv men who hoped to succeed by winning
the support of the prejudiced and narrow
minded partisans of the State Its sus-
pension is now announced coupled with
the statement that during the year of its
publication it sank $4,000. 1t is a
lesson for q certain class of journal
lists, who think any body can edit
Il newspaper. Long, tedious edIto-
rails, and a constant appeal to narrow pre-
iudices does not make newspaper. The
successful journalists of to-day are as
much an improvement over the papers of
forty wears ago, as printing is over writing.
The people who support newspapers III
this day want the nc1cs briefly, attractive
Nv and reliably They want informa-
ton in editorials or public ques-
tons dispassionately and intelligently
discussed. The old, bitter party hacks
that want their opponents scurrilOusly
for the support of newspapers. They very
seldom pay for copy of respectable pa
per, but are always the first to abuse and
misrepresent it. There are class of par
tisans who expect their party paper to
stand by and defend them i'll every mean
thing they do, and they are generally the
men. too. who are the last to pay their
subscription, and the first to demand UNI
reasonable favOrs.
Newspapers run as the organs OF polIti-
clans. or rs the apOlOgists and defenders

by the atmospheric variations peculiar to the season,
and it is incumbent upon all who desire to pass through
the ordeal of its cold mists and nsaubrOus gales with
easy stOmachs and untormented by the indescribabe
torments which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and
strengthen the digestive organs with healthtul and
effective vegetable invigorant and no one at all tamil

one moment that Hostetter's Stomach Btters Is the
Tonic best adapted to this purpose.
The credentials of the Great Restorative are I'M
eaualed in number and character by those OF any other
advertised medicine in the world. If there was
preparation to rank a National Remedy. this won

WE have never been able to entirely
forgive the pilgrim fathers for abolish
ing the observance of Christmas, al
though they invented Thanksgiving
and chicken pie for us in compensa-
ton. But it is some comfort to know
that this custom which isolates New
England from all christendom upon
the best day in the year is rapidly fad
ing away In Boston twenty years
ago Christmas was pretty much like
any other week day; now it is full
holiday there as it will soon be in ev-
cry place in New England
The day was observed here probably
more generally and pleasantly than
ever before. The day was brigh and
beautiful and there WAS something
like the true spirit of jollity and good
will prevalent The band had little

music as it went.-Pot.
OK Sunday evening the Universalist
church was crowded to an extent that
rendered the total want of ventilation
unpleasantly apparent. The house
was slightly but neatly trimmed with
evergreens,and the exercises were very
pleasant. The singing of the two
little daughters of Mr. f. p. Archi-
bald, aged respectively seven and
nine years, was about the best thing
of the evening. 1t is always to be OBJ
served at such entertainments, that
however the audience may whis-
