CHAMPAIGN, Ill.

The Beatrice, of whom "there are SO
many pictures over the country" was
daughter Of the noble house Of Cenci. one
OF the wealthiest and most powerful fami-
lies of Rome during the sixteenth century.
Count Cenci, the father of Beatrice was
guilty of the most horrible crimes, for which
he repeatedly obtained pardon of the Pope
by paying into the treasury of His Holt
ness the sum of 100, 900 crowns. It is re-
lated that the family of the Count, unable
longer to endure the cruelty and wicked
ness of the unnatural husband and father,
conspired to murder him. For this crime
they were brought to trial and condemned
to death. The most honorable and inf1uen-
tial families in Rome united in pleading
for their pardon, but the Pope was immoY-
able. While they were in prison awaiting
execution the picture of Beatrice was paint
ed by Guido Reni, and is now preserved in
the Colonna palace at Rome. In 1893
Beatrice Cenci, her oldest brother and her
stepmother were beheaded, and in the fol-
lowing year her younger brother died of a
broken heart, and the family became ex-
tinct.

A. GREAT FEAT.
A Railroad to go Across the Eastern Con-
tinent.
From the Scientific American


From the Scientific American.
The great feat accomplished by the Unit
ed States in connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans by railroad across the con-
tinent is stimulating enterprise in Europe,
and it is now proposed-indeed, the plan is
matured-to connect the Atlantic and Paci-
fic oceans by railroad through Central
Asia. At conference of the geographers,
recently held, Colonel Bogdanowitz explain
ed some of the details of the road, which it
is expected will overcome one of the greatest
obstacles to the extension of civilization
namely, the separation of a large part of
Asia from Europe by vast deserts, in which
no means of transit but railroad could be
OF any use. a railroad alone can develop
the resources of the many lands through
which it would pass and as the mineral
wealth of Siberia and the Ural Mountains
is well known, the exploration and mining
Of their regions would be encouraged and
their resources developed. It is proposed
that the road shall start from Nijuli Nov
gorod, in Russia, where is now the extreme
eastern station in the network Of European
railroads. It will run along the Volga, the
Kama, to Ekaterinburg, on the Asiatic side
of the Ural Mountains then enter Asia,
proceed in the direction Of Treumen and
Omsk at the Irish, cross the river, proceed
by way of Kainsk to Tomsk on the Tenn,
a branch of the Obi, and cross that river.
Tomsk is the principal centre Of commerce
of Western Siberia; thence the road viii
run directly to IrKntsk, at Lake Baikal
thence the road Is to pass to the frontier of
China, and thence it Is no longer an exclu-
sively Russian but an international under
taking. The first section from Mimi Nov
gorod to Tomsk runs on perfectly level land
(the so-called steppes), similar TO our prai-
ries. In the second section from ToEnsk to
Lake Baikai the country III rolling and in
terspersad with rivers and streams but the
greatest height is only 3, 500 feet, and the
largest rivers are but very moderate width
and depth. The only serious difficulties, rs
we have said, lie at the ChineRa frontier,
and they are iaferior TO those overcome in
the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Neva-
da BY the American engineers. Russia has
raised, In fifteen years, more than III 1sO00s-
coo, coo with which 10 construct u, O0O
miles OF railroad, and can easily and $500
OOO, 900 or $400, ,000, 600 to construct q line
Of such value to all the civilized world.

THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.

Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain travel,
Where lies those happier hills and meadows low -
All! if beyond the spirits inmost cavil
Aught of the country could we surely know
Who would not go?
Might we but hear
The hovering angels high imagined chorus,
Or catch betimes, with watchful eyes and clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before us,
All! who would fear?
Were we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left us lonely;
Or there, by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were loye-lit only
This weary mortal coil, were we quite sure, =.
Who would endure?

A GREAT PAPER.-The New York Sun
is quite newspaper, as the following fig
ures, taken from Rowell's Newspaper Re-
porter, win attest. During the year ending
March 18th, 46, 7o9, 769 copies were printed,
or an average daily circulation Of l3O, 900
copies. In printing these papers 3, 426, ,610
pounds of paper were used. The editorial
force numbers 105, with Chas. A. Dana as
editor-in chief, and 65 printers set the type.
Fourteen sets Of stereotype plates are taken
from the type, so that fourteen papers are
printed simultaneously from seven presses,
two Of which print 800 Suns minute and
the other eve 200 each. This does not suf-
fice, however, and one with capacity Of
SO, 900 an hour is being erected For them.
Il only costs S15, ,s27. II week to run the
institution, and yet they sell the paper at
two cents copy, and make money enough
from the subscription alone to more than
pay expenses, 10 say nothing Of advertise
ments. Yet there are seven other journals
of more importance il New York City than
the .sun.

First Public Reading of the Declaration.

The Declaration was written by Jefferson,
as he himself stated in a letter to Doctor
Mease, in his lodging house, at the south
west corner of Market an ID Seventh streets,
Philadelphia. The house Is still standing,
and is occupied by tailor, who shows his
patriotism by calling his shop the Temple
of Liberty Clothing Store" The instru-
ment was signed in the east room of the
State House, on the lower floor. It appear
ed in the next days paper, side by side
with an advertisement of negro child for
sale, but was not officially given to the
people until noonday ON the eight OF July,
when it was read to a large concourse of
people, in the State House yard, by John
Nixon, deputed to the task by the Sheriff
of Philadelphia, who had received it from
the committee. The stage on which the
reader stood was a rough wooden platform
on the line of the eastern walk, about half
way between Fifth and Sixth streets. Deb
orah Logan, who lived in the neighborhood,
states that she heard from the garden every

the voice was Charles Thompson's. In
spite OF all evidence in favor of Nixon, we
chose to believe her. The Man Of Truth
should have first made known those words
to humanity. Cheers rent the welkin, a
feu-de,joie was fired, the chimes Of Christ
Church rang through oil the bright sum
mer day, and the old bell gave at last to the
world the message il had received q quar-
ter of century before, and proclaimed
liberty to all the world.
The daily papers little thin sheets .
few inches square gave Us for weeks af-
terward accounts of the rejoicing and wild
enthusiam Of the other provinces as the
Declaration reached them. In New York
one singular effect produced was that !" .

Editorial Responsibility i.

Editors neglect their work and shirk
their responsibility. DESTROYS OF filling
their columns with matter which is ''spicy,"
and taking and a knowing I that ! weakness ness
siasn1ng and cutting article upon a we'll
known person more acceptable than eulogy
or careful, sober criticism, they encourage
carping, envious, or spontaneously mali
cious persons to make the publications
they control the vehicle of their spleen.
What is it to them that by so doing they
are misleading their readers, Or that they
are allowing an ill-naturad person to cast
ridicule upon well-meant honest work;
which, although honest and serviceable,
may not be perfect, for little in this world
is perfect? Nothing. They get readable
article, get it, perhaps, for the mere OPEN
ing of their columns to the writer, who is
paid for his labor by the qualification of
his malice, and that is all that they care
about. Now this adds to critical dishon-
esty an editorial neglect of duty, which,
considering the responsibility assumed by
an editor, is, to say the least, not highly
honorable. 1t degrades journalism, and
the fact that the public, or certain part
of it, relishes such writing, is no justiica-
ton of such an offense against honor and
comfy. The conductors of the press, in
it's varied forms, are not in the mere posi-
ton of traders, whose business it is to sup
ply that for which people are willing to
pay. Their wares are Of q sort that exer-
else constant influence upon morals and
manners and intellectual development, and
it is their duty to see that that influence is
at least not bad one. They may make a
sensation or effect large sale, and they
may point to their success as their justif-
cation. but even as those who buy to satisfy
their lower tastes, they degrade themselves
and their calling. g.-Neso York Times.

As snowfakes fall upon the sod;
But executes freemans will .Jx
As lightning does the will of God:
And from its force, nor doors, nor locks,
Can shield you-'tis the ballot-box."
2 It was first used by Shakespeare in
"Othello," act third, scene third:
''Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
1t the green eyed monster which doth mock
The meat 1t feeds on"
The color green is cold, CLASSY and unfeel-

the heartlessness of the monster he de-
