A Misery Nephew.

Samuel Bushnell, of Troy, is reported
to be nephew of Daniel Webster and
miser. He is ragpicker. and lives
principally from drink, when he can
get drink for nothing. "He is passion
ately fond of money!" says an account
in the Press but when he gets any
it is never more seen. Old Sam won't
spend cent either for food, drink,
raiment or anything; consequently he
will drink any kind of liquor, and of
course his clothes are not always, if
ever, made to order. He sleeps at
night about cellars or barns in the
neighborhood of the Eddy steamer
house but no one can find out where
he keeps his money. He does not carry
it upon his person. He knows better
that he is worth about $4,000. He
owned at one time house and lot in
North First street, between Rensselaer,
and North streets. In this building he
used to store away his rags and sleep
at night. Some person set fire to the
building one afternoon about six years
ago, and burned up most of the rags
and So, 900 in gold, and nearly roasted
the old man alive. Since then he has
refused to be comforted, and cannot
forgive his prosecutors. He swears at
these incendiaries constantly, either
when walking alone or when speaking

ship to Daniel Webster, he used to
visit him frequently, he says, in Wash
ington and Boston, where he has dined
with Clay, Calhoun, Governor Marston,
of Massachusetts, Haines and others.
At times he attempts to relate his con-
versation with them. At this time Sam
was cattle dealer in the South. Bush
nell is seventy-two years of age, having
been born in the year 1902, in the
State of Vermont.

When to Cut Wheat.
Spiders and their Webs.

The garden spider usually constructs
well-shaped perpendicular web, and
on this circumstance some naturalists
have based characteristic distinction
between this and other families OF
spiders. But it is often found that the
garden spider can vary the form and
structure of its web according to cir
cumstances. This is well shown in an
experiment made by a German observer,
for an account of which we are indebted
to Die Ndt,tr. This writer inclosed
two spiders in prismatic pen case.
with view to see how they would be-
have in this abnormal abode. In the
course of two days the cover was raised
and one of them was partially devoured
by the other the victorious individual
had woven over it's body and on the
inside of the cover, rectangular web
one-half to one millimetre' thick, ten
centimetres broad, and three or four
long, with the threads lying mostly
parallel with one another. It had no
room for well-shaped web, the inside
height OF the case being but little
greater that the spiders length. Hence
she must perforce spin horizontal
web on the floor or on the cover of the
ease,

Starting a Newspaper.

The Peoria Qll } RsVieI0 is to be sold
at sheriffs sale this morning to satisfy
a mortgage. We are under obligations
to Peoria friend for promptly advis-
ing us of this opportunity to regain an
interest in that excellent paper cheap,
but we don't want any. We have loved
the Review so did the gods, hence it
has died young, less than year and a
half old. 1t marked an era in our
journalistic career which we love to
ponder over with tears. 1t was the only
daily paper We helped to start. 1t
precious soon got the start of everybody
connected with it. We had that little
twilight twinkler for nearly quarter
of a year. Then it had us for the rest
of the time. The Unsuitable NAV that
pretty deceitful little sheet, in its hobby
metropolitan press of minion and non
pareil, had for coupons the wild, I'M
governed appetite it had for shekels /;
the excellent voice it had, which it re-
tanned to the last, for louis d'ors the
avidity with which it reached out for
base bullion, and the equal avidity with
which it didn't get any Such fearful
old infationist it was on the DIR. side ;
such terrible contractionist it was on
the Or. side. We hope it will sell we'll
We hope the mortgage will be satisfied.
If it is it will be the first thing the Re
Uiew ever satisfied. We hope some
good man will buy it and run it sue
cessfully, though we doubt that it can
be made to do better than it did under
Mr.. Cofinberry's excellent and able
management. But with all due regard
and tender feeling for the journal of
our earliest love and highest aspira-
tions, we do not wish any more of the
fruit, if you please. Life is too short
to throw away on such hollow vanity
as Peoria evening daily. We would
much rather not kind of try to have
scarcely little to do with it; hardly
any at all. If at any time we desire to
renew the fierce excitement of those
sweet days, we can wait till harvest and
go up in the country and crawl into a
thrashing machine, or, in city where
so many saw mills ply the busy buzz
saw as in Burlington, we can find pas
time of less exciting and arduous
character than running the RevieW, it
is true, but still sufficiently exhilarat-
ing for man of rather phlegmatic
temperament. We do not wish to run
any evening dailies on our own hook.
That is, not just at present. We may
after while, along some time after the
millennium, may be, but We are too
young for such onerous duties now.
And then since we came to Burlington
we have become so dreadfully addicted
to telling the truth that we are about
ruined for Peoria newspaper work any.

Editors Scalping Each Other.

Mr.. Shehan, who delivered the
address before the Illinois Editorial
Convention, spoke as follows of the
newspaper and it's proprietor
Have we not overdene the patriotism,
and have we not retarded the advance
ment of journalism, by willingness to
scalp one another to crafty the mob,
which, after the operation, has, or
ought to have, lower opinion of both
actors than it had before2 Personal
journalism never tends to exalt the
profession, or exalt the journal that
| INDUCES in it. 1t is q waste of time,
labor, and means for one newspaper to
| devote it's columns to the humiliation
of the personal character of the gentle
men who publish another paper. Waste
of time, labor and means is, in these
utilitarian days, crime. Newspapers
are published for the pecuniary benefit
of the owners. There may. be romantic
notions of another kind, that journal
ism has higher aims than the accumu-
lation of pelf, but we know differently,
and, like sensible men, we may frankly
state that We print and publish our
newspapers for the purpose of making
the most money we can. The man who
makes the best paper, as a general
thing, makes the most money and the
man who makes the most most money
as a general thing, can make the best
paper, if he knows how. We are bid
ders for the public confidence and the
public trade, just as the lawyers, the
physicians or the merchants are. W.
offer our services to the public just al
they do, and expect pay therefore al
they do; and among the services VI
offer them is good newspaper, con
Quoted with due regard to publi

such public policy and measures as w
think best for the public interest.
