THE FIRST AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.

THE FIRST MEXICAN NEWSPAPER.
The story of the first American news
paper, brief as was it's life, is full of
curious interest. Seventy years after
the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth
Rock, and $50 years after the invention
of printing, a newspaper was issued IN
Boston 1t lived one day, and only one
copy is known to have been preserved.
That copy was discovered by the his
torian of Salem, the Rev. J. b. Felt, in
the Colonial StatePaper Office, in Lon
don, while engaged in researches relating
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 columns to page, and each
page about II inches by in size. Har-
ris proposed to issue his paper once a
month, or oftner if there should be a
"glut of occurrences. His first and, as
it turned out, his only number, contained
several columns of home and foreign
gos ip, without word of editorial COM
ment. Unfortunately for the success of
his undertaking, he printed one or two
items of local and military news which
set the official busybodies in ferment
of indignation. The Legislative authori
ties solemnly determined that the paper
came out contrary to law, and that it
contained reflections of very high
nature" TO prevent Mr.. Harris from
issuing Il second number, they forbade
anything in print without license first
obtained from those authorized by the
Government to grant the same" In
this way the first American newspaper
came to grief and, but for the acct
dental preservation of single copy in
London, its very name would have passed
into oblivion.

AGRICULTURAL.
Water for Horses.

A writer in the Agriculturist says !:
"This summer my horses got badly run
down. We fed them literally, but they
did not cat WELL They had no appetite,
no digestion, and no strength and spirit
They came home at noon and night
tagged out, and their nights rest did not
refresh them. l sawed barrel in two
and placed the ends on the platform of
the pump. These are for watering the
horses. Into one of them we put Il
pailful of corn meal and mixed it with
the water. The horses at first did not
like it, and would only drink little
when very thirsty. After they had
drank what they would, they were
allowed pure water. In a few days,
however, they drank the corn-meal soup
with relish, and in less than ii week II
decided change for the better was visi-
bic in the appearance of the horses. We
do not let them cat the meal, but merely
let them drink the milky water. / have
no doubt it is as good for them as n
plate of good soup is for tired and
hungry man before dinner. 1t seems to
stimulate the appetite and aid digcs-
tion."

MEASURING SHADO WIS.

Carefully conducted experiments show
that man of ordinary stature, which on
an average is not far from five feet eight
and one-half inches, at the distance of
1913 yards appears just one-third his
height. At further distance of 437
yards, one-fourth; and at 546 yards, one
fifth.
This law may be made use of by those
curious of studying branches of sciences
not generally cultivated, in measuring
distant objects. 1t is far less difficult,
after a little practice, than the common
method. Some persons possess a rare
faculty of determining the height of a
structure, as a tower, lofty spire, dis
tant tree, either on a plain or an eleva-
ton. Their accuracy is quite as re-
markable, in that respect, rs instantane
Gus answers to complicated questions in
arithmetic, for which the famous Zera
Coiburn was widely celebrated.
Some fifty years ago a man by the
name of Wheat astonished the best sur
veyors and trigonometrical gentlemen of
the time by giving at sight the exact
length of il perpendicular pole, tree, OF
other things, lis proposed. By varying
his position, going toward or receding,
seemed to be instantaneously taken into
account in announcing decision. This
WAS the representation.

Worth of Brick Dust.

A Tennessee correspondent of the Id
rocotc writes In 1853, l sowed field
of sixty acres in wheat, and plowed it in
with turning plows; the yield was eight
or ten bushels per acre. In sowing,
some grains of the wheat fell ON an old
kiln, among the brick-bats and burnt
earth, which produced from thirty to
eighty-two heads to the stool the one
that had eighty-two heads averaged for
ty grains to the head, which made 3, $50
grains from one grain. l mention this
to show the effects of burnt earth us n
fertilizer, which is cheaper and more
available to most of our farmers than
any of our commercial fertilizers.

FAMOUS REMAINS.

The Independence Beige very pleas
antly gossips about the fate of the re-
mains of some famous dead. Mirabeau's
lie in an obscure corner of Paris, near
the Scipion bakery. Pichegru's have
only been recently exhumed and taken
home. Murat's had not been flung, as
asserted, into the sewers, though his
bust was dragged through the cutters.
His remains are buried near the Pan
theon. Some years ago the remains OF
Saint Vincent de Paul were kept in a
wooden chest standing in the ante-cham-
Der of Sheriff. During the Reign of
Terror they had been removed from
small Paris church by some person I'M
known. One morning NJ. Leves, the
distinguished physician and professor
of the National Historical Museum, was
requested to examine the remains. No
little amazed, Leves did so, and discov-
cred that they were really those of man
who died at the Saints age.

The Shield of Health.

Debility opens the door to disease. Nor is this
all. When the door has been opened and the ter
rible intruder has entered, physical prostration
renders its progress to the citadel of life compare
lively easy. Therefore bar the door, and if possible
keep it barred; or, if the enemy has already Sc
cured foothold, rally the strength of the system
and assist nature to drive out the foe of health and
reach. Brace up the physique with Hostetter,s
Stomach Bitters when there are elements in the
air you breathe or the water you drink that are
orbid and unwhoesome. This is barring the
door. Epidemics and endemics will assail in vain
the living fortress that is thus protected. 1t may
"laugh siege to scorn." But ifthis precautionary
measure has been neglected, the seeds of disease
can be elected by the same potent vegetable agent
that would, if taken earlier, have prevented their
ulating, invigorating, regulating and purifying
properties of this vital elixir render it most
formidable antagonist of all facilitating disorders
The rapidity and certainty with which it van
quishes fever and ague, rheumatism, bilious collie
Indigestion and nervous omplaints, is due in no
small degree to the strength it imparts to the mus
cular fiber, the nerves and the membranes which
line the stomach and the bowels. 1t may be safely
said that a course of the Bitters commenced now
will be sure protection against most of the COM
plants incident to the season.

EXPENSIVE FUEL.-Mr. John Adsett,
of Waubeck, met with quite heavy loss
last week. Mrs. Adsett being about to
leave home on visit, thought it would
be good plan to hide the "family
pocket-book, and accordingly put it
away very carefully in the stove. 1t laid
there in safety $50 it is supposedly until
she returned and built up fire in the
stove without thinking of the money.
When she did think Of it the money was
gone-not enough left to "swear by"
There was about 81, 500 in greenbacks
and enough notes and other securities to
swell the amount to over $1,000 This
is very serious loss to Mr.. Adsett, but
in the future n stove will not be used as
"bank" in that family. -Dwand Wis

Saw Dust for Mulch.

Where partially decayed straw cannot

rial for mulching is saw dust. Aside
from the fact that it does not decay as

where the scattering straw, blown from

ADDING Poison TO PoIsoN.-There is
no disease in which the blood is not
more or less impregnated with ,mwhole-
some matter, and the direct, inevitable
effect of all preparations containing
spirituous excitants is to increase the
volume of poison in the veins, and
thereby aggravate and prolong the NAL
ady. Hence it is that dyspepsia, bilious
fever, cholera morbus, lung-complaints,
govt, dropsy, rheumatism, nervous dis
orders, and cases of general and local
debility, originally mild in type, are fire.
quently rendered chronic and dangerous
by dosing the sufferers with the alcoholic
bitters advertised as medicinal stimu-
lants. AS counterblast to the canards
put forth by the proprietors of those
pernicious compounds, the plain, honest,
philosophical statements of DIR. JOSEPH
WALKER, relative to the nature and
effects of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, are doing world of good. He
has opened the eyes of the public to the
important fact that pure vegetable
tonic and Alternative, unpolluted by alco-
hol, if not an absolute specific for every
variety of disease, is the nearest approach
to it yet attained. His VINEGAR BrrrERs
are unquestionably working such won

WILLIAM LEoU1EN, noted Partisan
beggar, who has for years appealed for
charity in the streets by exhibiting the
stumps of two amputated arms, was a
few days ago brought to the bar of
police station on a charge of picking
pockets. While eloquently declaiming
against the imputation he gesticulated
with two sound hands, long profitably
concealed beneath loose coat.
