Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1876-09-20

A Detroit youth, of fourteen. sold fif.
ty pounds of old iron and a piece of lead
pipe, few days ago, and received
enough money to carry out his long
cherished idea OF establishing a weekly
newspaper which should represent the
interests of every section of Michigan.
He was willing to commence low down
and work up, and he established an Of
flee in the cellar of his fathers house,
purchased two quarts of ''pi," hired his
sister as an apprentice, and work wa.
begun on his first number.
The boy had an idea that an indepen-
dent journal would pay best, and hi:
first edition, which consisted of seven
copies of sheet about as large as an
envelope, was devoted to items of a per-
soEal nature.
1t was rather family sheet, also,
seven of the eight items in it being hits
ut his father and mother, and the lone
one was a bit of advice to his school
teacher.
While he was out hunting up adver-
tisements and soliciting subscribers his
father laid the type away to shoot cats
with, and when the editor and proprie-
tor returned he was given a woodshed
interview and then welded to the ham
die of lawn mower.
He was yesterday ''hollering" over
the alley fence to one of his friends that
he couldn't be crushed out nor fright.

Art Criticism .

A well-known artist has for the last
four or five months been throwing his
whole soul into landscape which is
now on exhibition in Chestnut street
window. 1t is called fine painting
by art critics, yet what are art critics
in number to the great public, no two
of whom see or criticise alike? There
was crowd around the picture yester-
day, and bootblack took square look
at the painting and said:
"Purty good river he painted, but it
runs up hill. Wonder if that artist
didn't ever 90 fishing?"
There was a pause. and an elderly
gentleman with spectacles on remarked !:
"What strikes me is that all those
six cows should be switching their
tails the same way and at the same
time"
The crowd looked closer and it was
the general opinion that the artist
should have switched over some of those
tails.
''It's very NICE" said young man
with sore eye, "but look at that log
house from builders point of view.
Why, it is so far out of plumb that it
will fall over and hurt some one before
night, and that chimney wouldn't draw
If there were forty fires below"
There was long period of silence as
each one Of the crowd lined the walls
with his eye. Then an old woman
cautiously remarked:
'No matter about the house or the
cows or the river-it's a nice picture.

apiece for, and don't believe they are
bit better than this,''
There was a woman at her side with
a head of cabbage in basket, and she
put in:
''If can find nice smooth board
anywhere I'll have my husband make
three or four pictures like that"
There was another long silence, and
then sedate man, whose garments
were fast going to Times hospital for
old clothes, elbOwed the boys back with
a great show of authority, and re-
marked:
"You folks don't know anything
about art. You had better go and crit

A Tradition Of Saratoga Lake.

There is an Indian superstition at
tached to this lake which probably had
its source in its remarkable loneliness
and tranquility. The Mohawks be-
lieyed that its stiffness was sacred to
the Great Spirit, and that if a human
voice uttered sound upon its waters,
the canoe of the offender would instant
ly sink. A story is told of an Englishwo-
man, in the early days of the first set
tiers, who had occasion to cross this lake
with party of Indians, who, before
embarking warned her most impress
sively of the spell. 1t was silent,
breathless day, and the canoe shot over
the surface of the lake like an arrow.
About half a mile from the shore, near
the centre of the lake, the woman, wish
ing to convince the Indians of the erro-
neousness of their superstition, uttered
loud cry. The countenances of the
Indians fell instantly to the deepest
gloom After minutes pause, how
ever, they redOubled their exertions,
and in frowning silence drove the light
bark swiftly over the waters. They
reached the shore in safety, and drew
up the canoe, when the woman rallied
the chief on his credulity. "The Great
Spirit is merciful," answered the scorn-
full Mohawk; ''he knows that a white
woman cannot hold her tongue .'-Hdr-

The Larre-, swamp I'm this Country

The surveying party sent out to sur
vey the Okefenokee Swamp report that
it measures one hundred and forty-two
miles in circumference, and with the
sinuosities, one hundred and eighty
miles around. This vast formation, thir-
ty miles long and twenty seven miles
wide, is the largest swamp in the Uni
ted States. Ii lies in the southeastern
part of Georgia, but partly in North
Florida. Here is the Suwanee river,
made famous by the old negro melody
of sold Folks at Home" 1t traverses
large section of upper Florida, is bor-
dered with valuable cypress and other
timber, and empties into the Gulf at a
point about eighteen miles north of Ce-
dar Keys. Okefenokee Swamp was, for
generations, a refuge for runaway
slaves. Indians have lived there until
recently, cultivating gardens; and in
the depths of the junglcs and forests are
thousands of bears and a great many
Florida ''tigers''-the cougar, or Amer
lean panther. One curious experience
of the surveying party was to find them
selves at one time, while in the midst
of great swamp, suffering for water.
The discovery of a large number of
mounds, probably built by race of
men existing before the Indians y is al
so reported. Several skeletons were
taken from them, but some crumbled as
soon as exposed to the air.

The Cane in English schools.

The London Telegraph. referring to
some recent cases in the London Police
Courts, SAYS: 1T would be desirable
to know whether schOOlmasters and
schoolmistresses are to be permitted
any longer to slash with canes the
hands of little school children. There
NAV be some members of the London
School Board who have read Sir Charles
Bells "Bridgewater Treatise on the
Hand,r and, in such a case, they may
have learned that the member in ques-
ton is an exquisitely delicate and COM
plex piece of human mechanism, which
may be thrown out of gear by very
slight abrasion. If, nevertheless, the
cane welded by powerful adults on the
limbs of weak children is to be cOnsid-
cred legal. it is manifestly a gross
mockery and perversiOn OF justice. and
a waste of public time, that Magis-
trates should be called upon to investi-
gate the complaints made by the
parents of boys who have been caned.
Ii stands to reason that a thin cane
cuts a boy. that a thick cane bruises
him, and that in either case his body
must be whealed, and he must undergo
n certain amount of torture. 1t Is per-
fectly idle to talk of moderate and
excessive chastisement. A couple of
stripes will send nervous child INTO
mysteries, whereas strong and Ootuse
boy would undergo couple of dozen
without flinching. If the law Is to up
hold the cane, let the law prescribe the
number of blows. The London School
Board seems to be fond of experiment
alizing; and it would perhaps be desira-
ble that the Legislature should assist
them in trying the experiment of con-
ducting their schools wholly without
corporal punishment"

ancient and Modern Novels.

There is an element in the prose fic-
ton of the last century which places it
in strong contrast with the novel of the
present time. We are now inclined to
regard the novelist as before all things
an artist. His work is judged by the
laws proper to imaginative literature,
and success or failure is reckOned by
reference TO a standard which would
have been scarcely understood by the
writers or by the public of an earlier
time. On one point in particular
modern critics are wont to be unfail-
ingly severe. The novelist is not per-
mitted to be a teacher of morals. Pardon
may be granted for other faults of style
or knowledge, but the fault of attempted
instruction is deemed unreasonable,
and the writer who now undertakes to
deliver sage counsel on the rewards of
virtue or the perils of vice is at once
and confidently judged to be ignorant
of the first principles of his craft.
This modern view of the requirements
of fiction is curiously opposed to the
practice of the writers of the last CEN
tury. There, at least, we find no doubt
in the mind of the author as TO the
propriety of instructing his readers.
The novel was understood to be the
vehicle for discursive comment upon
manners and morals, and the element
i'm fiction now held to be supreme occu-
pied then only subordinate place. The
gift of characterization, since discovered
to be the one enduring element in those
cumbrous works of fiction, was held at
the time to be subject to the power. of
the essayist; the individual personages
of the history slowly emerged from a
world of wise and witty comment offered
independently by the author; and when
we strive to reach the motive of one OF
these earlier novels, it is impossible not
to feel that by the novelist himself the
facts of the story were regarded mainly
as useful machinery by the aid of which
he might deliver himself of store of
pregnant criticisms upon men and man.

A Phantom Feast.

Apropos of the stories of haunted
houses and ghostly dOings, to which
the prevailing spiritualistic mania has
given rise, correspondent gives the
following, vouching for its truth:
There is gentleman who visits our
city once every three years, who excites
a great deal of interest on account of
some peculiar circumstances which al
ways attend him. His personal appear
ance is striking-rather tall, with head
firmly set on broad shoulders, iron gray
hair, brushed off from full, white for
head, well-cut features, and eyes dark,
with a strange inward expression. He
takes rooms at one of our first class no
tells, and remains three days.
The first is spent in giving directions
for banquet to be served in his private
apartments, and he is particular to
the minutest detail. The second day he
superintends everything, and his face
wears an anxious look. At about four
O'Clock he retires to his dressing-room,
after giving last injunction to the SER
wants to be in attendance at the appoin-
ted time.
The hour approaches; the table is re-
splendent with silver, crystal and fiOw-
ers; the servant stands expectantly
waiting, yet no guests have arrived.
At length the doors of the inner room
open, and the strange gentleman enters
his face flushed and head bent, as if
listening to some remark addressed to
him. With polite gestures he indicates
seats to numerous guests, and at last
seats himself at the head of the table.
With a motion to the astonished servant
he signifies his wish to have the covers
removed and the different course served
All is profound silence, and yet the
host appears to be engaged in earnest
conversation, frequently bowling and
smiling toward different parts of the
table. At length the wine is poured,
every glass is filled; and as this is done
the host rises, holding his glass high
above his head. Instantly every chair
is filled with lovely women and courtly
men, sparkling eyes look love to eyes
that speak again, and rosy lips seem
ready to part with ripping laughter.
Soon the ladies disappear through the
door-float, as it were, out of sight
and the gentlemen remain. Converse
ton seems to be renewed, when sudden
ly the gaze all is riveted upon two young
men who appear to be very angry.
They both rise excitedly, one draws a
dagger, uplifts his arm. and with de-

Porcelain and, Pottery.

The manufacture of pottery was one
of the earliest of the arts practiced by
man. From the Lake dwellings of
Switzerland and the sepulchres of
Northern Europe, many Of which be-
lOnged to the stone age, rude specimens
of pottery have been produced, and the
potter's wheel was known to the Egyp-
tians 2 800 years before Christ. Chinese
authors fix an equally ancient date as
the period when pottery was invented
in China, but long interval separated
this discovery from the first manufac-
ture of porcelain proper, which is con-
sidered to have commenced under the
Han dynasty (206 b. C.-S7 A. d. But
like the art of printing in China, the
progress of the manufacture of porce-
lain was slow, and, like painting also,
it may be said TO have first flourished
under the Tang dynasty, "a. ID. 6lS-
G01.) Each period was marked by the
production of a distinct kind of porce-
lain, and among the descriptions most
highly esteemed in China, is one, the
product of a somewhat later date, which
is described as being "blue as the sky,
shining as a looking glass, thin as
paper, and giving a sound like musical
stone" That those vases were of this
color was due to an order of the reign
ing Emperor, who directed that the
porcelain for the palace should be
made "blue as the sky after rain, when
seen between the clouds" During the
succeeding dynasties the manufacture
was increasingly developed, and at the
present day there are no fewer than
fifty places at which there are porcelain
factories, the chief of which is at keng-
te-chin, in the province of king-se. The
word porcelain" is European-possi-
bly Italian-and is supposed to have
been derived from the similarity of the
glazed surface to that of the cowrie
shell (porceldnd) which itself took its
name from its form (por~elid, little
pig.) The little Chinese bottles, which
were stated by Rosscllini and others TO
have been found in undistur bed Egyp-
tian tombs dating from not less than
!. 500 years b. c., were beyond dispute
manufactured subsequently, TO the
eighth century of our era; and some
pieces which bear the date of the eleventh
century are reproductions of the last
century.

The Newest Fashionable Sport in En-.
gland.

Avery curious sport is gaining ground
in this country. The use of cormorants
for fishing purposes has been practiced
for centuries by the Chinese, who care
fully train these birds to deliver their
prey uninjured to their master, instead
ofappropriating it to their own use and
from China and other Oriental coun-
tries it has been brought to England.
Cormorant-fishing recalls, in measure,
the old days of falconry, with the ex-
ception that, while the feats of the
trained hawks and falcons were per-
formed in mid-air, the performances OF
the "sea-crow," as the French call it,
takes place in the water. With ring
placed round their necks to prevent them
from swallowing their booty, though
well-trained birds will dispense with
this restraint, the cormorants plunge at
a given signal into the water, and hard
ly ever fail to bring up finny prize.
Their broad-webbed feet and their thin,
keel-shaped body admirably adapt them
for swimming and diving land they will
often use their short, stiff wings as an
additional means of propulsion. Sc
swift are they, and so sudden their de-
scent, that the nimblest fish can not es-
cape them. If they seize their prey
otherwise than by the head they ascend
to the surface, and, quickly Jerking il
into the air, will adrOit!y catch it as il
falls headforemost. The appearance of d
number of cormOrants thus engaged
and regularly bringing their booty to
their owners hand, is a very pleasing
sight. Thus employed they will con.
tinue fishing, with but little intermis.
sion, and with the occasional encour.
agement of handful of the smaller fry
for several hours together. Offers in.
deed can be trained to act in a similar
manner; and, il this mode of fishing 1:
likely to become at all general, it will
necessitate new reading of certain act:
of Parliament. Under the salmon fish.
cry acts, for instance, duty is payable
on ''instruments" used for the capture
of salmon, and it may become question
for the lawyers whether "cormorant'
can properly be called an 'instrument'
if engaged in pursuit of salmon, while
it is only an aquatic totipalmate bird
at other times. There are, at any rate,
few kinds of sport which are not open
to objections from which cormorant fish
ing is free. Cormorants must have fish
to eat, and it is no more cruel to let them
feed themselves in the presence OF adj
miring spectators than TO catch the fish
first of all in net. 1t is even superior
to the ancient falconry, since the winged
prey of the hawks is a more sensitive
animal than the finny prey of the cor
morant, and the fish do not probably
feel any pain in their ignominious de-
scent, head foremost, into the capacious
beak of their captor.
