The EaTIicst Newspaper.

Authorities have differed widely as to the
nation and city entitled to the honor of hav-
ing started the first printed newspaper. For
many years 1t was supposed that tho credit
belonged to England. 1t was claimed that
the British Museum had q copy of the ear.
Hest paper III its collection. It was called
the English NeTcprie, and printed July %,
1888; but it has boen shown that this COPY,
like specimens Of rare old coins, was spuii-
GUS, and gotten up for sale. Watts, the
photographer OF the Museum, who saw, on
examination, that tho type and paper were
OF modern origin, and did not belong to the
sixteenth century, exposed the forgery. 1t
was an ingenious fabrication, pretending to
give the news OF tie Spanish Armada, Which
was destroyed In tho English Channel by
Drake and Howard day or two previous to
tho date OF tbs sheet. There wero seven
numbers OF this spurious M.,curie produced -
four in manuscript, ana three in print.
Venice has also claimed the honor Of lead.
ing the way in giving newspapers to the
world. Tho Gossetta thus named because It
sold for small piece of money called gas-
ssaa, It Is asserted, was printed there In 1870,
and 1t is pretended that copies Of this paper
OF that date are In one Or two collections In
London. But late discoveries have appa-
rently established the claim Of tho old Ger
man city Of Nuremberg to this high honor
A paper called the Gazetse, according to trust
worthy authorities, was printed In that city
as early as 1887, five years after Peter
Sch Ter cas-; the Graf metal type 10 matrices.
Nuremberg, with tue first paper in the If
teenth century, also claims tho honor Of the
drst paper ia the sixteenth century. There
is an auc.ently printed sheet IL the Libr col
lection which autedates all others except the
shee. Of 1857 aud tue Chroatels Of Cologne.
1t 1. called the Nsas HAta,.g aeai R;panisa

duplicate OF this sheet

The Crime Of Senator POmerOy's
Assailants.

Now, there are some crimes which gen.
iiernan may commit, such as treason, or even
occasionally assassinations Of vendetta or of
honor; other crimes belong 10 natures so
mean as to be beneath anger, such az coma
mon theft; but there Is another class Of
crimes Of vulgar, low, british order, such as
forgery, cheating, and rape, which disgust
and repel. Such Is the crime which these
conspiratOrs deliberately agreed to commit by
the hand Of YOrke, a crime one degree baser
than that Of which RoLrabacher was con.
victed; for burglary has an element Of physI.
cal courage in 1t which does not appertain to
this conspiracy TO swindle Senator of the
United States. And these conspiratois are
friends Of education, forsooth; they must
needs season their crlminality with cant on
that subject; they were to cheat In order to
get money for the school fund. When YES
pasian exhibited to Titus the now coin Oh.
tanned from the tax on cioace he said, my
son, nc. olet." What sort of smell would be-
long to school fund augmented by money
which Mr.. Yorke should have obtained from

Those Of US who have watched with the
rroioundest interest the proceedings Of the
American Senate with reference to the con.
sicting claims Of the two governments, or
pretended governments, Of the State Of I.ouisi-
ana, having seen with inexpressible satisfac-
ton the so-called kellogg government recog-
nized BY the judicial, executive, and legisla-
tive authority Of the country, not only as the
government de .facto, but virtually as the
government de .jrre, were surprised and
Crievcd that the name Of the Scnator-elect,

sioners Of the Washington Asylum, on Thurs.

Mississippi.

Elsewhere will be found the interesting ex-
erc:ses at the capitol of the State of Missis-
sippi upon the signing Of the very excellent
civil rights enactment of that State. The
speech Of Governor Powers places that off,
Ger in the front rank Of the truly liberal and
honest Republicans of the country, and he
stands as fitting chief executive Of State,
the majority Of whose citizens are colored.
We sincerely regret that the co!ored voters
OF the South have not been as fortunate In
e.eetlng white men to represent them as have
been the coloredpeople Of Mississippi in their
choice for Governor.

Poetry.
A SUNSET FANCY.

Tonight sat at my window,
As the West was all agleam
With that strange and wonderful splendc
That is fitting as a dream.
l thought that the hands of angels
Had swung Heavens gateway wide,
And caught some glimpse of the glory
From the hills on the other side.
Is itnot beautiful fancy,
This sunset thought of mine
That the gates of Heaven are always
Swung open at days decline;
That those whose days are ended,
Of earthly woes and ills,
May pass to the morning gladness
That dwells on the Heavenly hills.
Perhaps while sat there dreaming
OF the gateway in the West
Some poor ssul went thro' the portals
To long and endless rest
Went through the sunset gateway,
To the city paved with gold
Passed in to the new life's gladness
To be no longer old.
When for me the sunset gateway
Shall at day decline unclose,
And I enter thro' its portals
To long and sweet repose;
I know that shall remember
In that land so fair and far,
My strange and beautiful fancy ~
Of the sunset gates ajar.
