EVENING POST.
SAFE,SURE AND STEADFAST
A Journal for all True Republicans
for all True Liberals. aud all
True Democrats.

The New York Evening Post, edited by
william Cullen Bryant and Parke Godwn'
assisted by the strongest talent that can be
engaged, has for more than half n century
maintained the same principles Of fl, tdom
and progress, through all changes Of parties
and policies.
It STANDS for equal rights; for the distrbu
ton Of power; for honesty and economy; for
the security Of the glorious results Of ofemancl-
patton and eniranchisemenl won by the war:
and all practicable reforms.
II Is opposed to injustice and spoliatlon, dis
-ulsed under the name of protection, and to
all corrup. party combinations which sa.rice
principleto mere success.
Itwill support Grant and .ilsen, because
it believes that under them the government
will be more stable, and the chances for proN
gress and reform more certain, than uhderany
alliance OfIncOmpatIhle elements.
The Evening Post is equal to any other as
newspaper, and is complete m ils political
it, literary, ITS scientific. ~ agricultural and
its commercial departments

The Circleville Herald, or
gan of the Pickaway Democ
racy, says:
"The veto of the Kentucky
Salt Works bill, by the Presl
dent, was expected. His dis
approval OF a bill for the relief
of j. Milton Best made a SINH
lar rejection of this late meas.
ure inevitable. The same
principles are involved in each;
and the President thinks that
no citizen should be indemni-
fed for the loss Of property de
stroyed, during time of war,
to prevent Its use by The enc
my. The Senate Committe on
Claims sharply diSsents from
his view of the case. 1t is sat
iStactory that the President
watches so closely the course
Of these claims on the Treas.
ury; whether he or Congress is
technically right is another
question"

The First American Newspa-
per.
The story of the first Ameri
can newspaper, brief as was its
life, is iull OF curious interest.
Seventy years after the landing
of the Pilgrims on Plymouth
Rock, and two hundred and fif-
ty years after the invention oi
printing, a newspaper was is-
sued in Boston. 1t lived one
day and only one copy is
known to have been preserved.
That copy was discovered by
the historian of Salem, the
Rev. j. B. Felt, in the Colonial
State-paper office, IN London,
while engaged in,researcheS re-
latIng to the history of his own
city. This pioneer OF American
journalism was published by
Benjamin Harris at the London
Coffee House, Boston, and was
printed for him by Richard
Pierce on Thursday, the 25th of
September, 1890, nearly two
centuries after the discovery Of
The New World by Columbus.
The paper was printed on three
pages of a folded sheet, leaving
one page blank, with two col
umns to a page, and each page
about eleven inches by seven
in size. Harris proposed to is
sue his paper once a month, or
Oft9ner if there should be a
"glut of occurrences" HIS first
and as it turned out, his only
number, contain I'd several COL
ums of home and foreign gCs
sip, without Il word OF editorial
comment. Unfortunately for
the sue cess of his undertak
ing, he printed one or two
items of local and military
news which set the official
busy bodies in a Germent OF in
dignatlon. The legislative au
thoritles sOlemnly determined
that the paper came out con
trary to law, and that it con-
!ained "reaections OF a very
high nature To prevent Mr..
! Harris from issuing a second
number, they fol bade "any
thing in print without license
first obtained from those au-
thorized by the government to
grant the same.' In this way
the first American newspaper
came to griei; and but for the
accidental preservation OF a
single copy in London its very
name would have passed into
obhvion.-H Harper's Magazine

DANIEL WEBSTER, in his last
days, said to Professor Sill

of my life in studying its
