one Of the most remarkable church build
ings that l ever saw. It has two galleries
running entirely around the whole build
ing, the stand for the speaker being right
in front of the first gallery, so that the
people sit all around the line. Ienquired
of member as to the capacity of the
building. He said it would seat six thou
sand and hold seven thousand persons.
cast my eye around and I could see no
vacant seats, all being occupied 1t was
the largest church gathering 1 ever beheld.
Is it not wonderful to think that the en-
tire population of Hagerstown could 90 all

How TO RECEIVE A DoG.-A gentle
man gives the following advice in relation
to dOgs:-'1f," says he, ''you enter a lot
where there is a vicious dog, be careful to
remove your hat CT cap as the animal ap-
prOaches you, holding the same down by
your side between yourself and the dog.
When you have done this, you have Sc
cured perfect immunity from an attack.
The dog viii not bite you if this advice is
followed. Such is my faith in this policy
that win pay all doctor bills from dog
bites, and funeral expenses for deaths
from dydrophobia."

ORIGIN OF THE NEwsPAPER.-As is
well-known the Italians gave US the idea
of newspapers. They were called gazettasi
from the coin at which they were usually
sold. The first paper was a monthly pub
lished in Venice. The first English news
paper was the English Mercurie, printed
at London, 1888. The first newspaper in
the collection of the British Museum is in
Roman letter. 1t contains the usual arti-
cles of news, like those of to-day. Peri
odical papers were generally used during
the civil wars of Cromwell to disseminate
feeling among the people. In the reign
of Queen Anne there was but one daily
paper in England. From the time Of
Addison newspapers and periodical litera-
ture became distinct works.

Deal gently with those who stray.
Draw them back by love and persuasion.
One kiss is worth thousand kicks. A

BY c. E. BROOKS.

Deep down beside the tangled sedge
The meadow lark sings all the day.
And bursts at times from out the hedge
The mimic chatter OF the jay:
And here and there a wandering note,
A cricket's ehirp, comes sweet and clear
Where dreamy mlsfs Of summer aoat
At noon upon the grassy mere.
Afar away below the hfIl
see the noisy mIll-whecI go,
The smooth broad lake above The min,
The fash Of foam that roars below:
And on the even slopes that rise
SO gently toward the mountains brow.
The cattle watch with sleepy eyes
The lazy pioughboy at the plough.
Ny soul Is sleeping. and its dreams
All sad and sweet that dreaming thrills,
For there are othsr wales ard streams.
And other hocks on other hills
The hills whereon climbed 70 pull
The golden-rods and weeds Of May.
When all the world WAS beautiful.
And all my life summer day.

A HANGEL--Smedley Darlington, who has sued
the County for interest on bonds, and in whose
interest the Troy Bulletin is working, appears to
be q very angel in disposition. He owns lots of
Kansas bonds, for which he paid u mere trif1e,
but like very Shylock, he demands his pound
of flesh. Atchson is almost swamped by bonded
Indebtedness, the debt amounting to almost as
much as her assessed valuation. Her officers
represented the matter to the bond holtlders, and
proposed an equitable compromise. They re-
ceived reply from Darlington, informing them
that they were a set of swindlers and thieves.
Lawrence is bankrupt, and is not even able to
pay interest on her bonds, many of which were
virtually stolen from her. The citizens desired
q compromise, by which they might be released
upon paying what they could. Darlington has
commenced suit for bis money. -Doniphan Coun-
ty found herself in tight place, and Darlington
is after her through the United States Circuit
Court. Yet this Sh ylock's organ, the Troy Bul-
letis, 10 abusing our Coanty Commissioners, be-
cause they do not compromise with this angel
of mercy.

periodic form ofinebriety alone. DR. ID. might have
guessed this fact, both from the he gives and
from logical deductions founded upon the specific
properties of the drug. In opinion. cinchona acts
with much certainty in relieving the cravings of
the periodic drnker it does in of chills and
fever. Indeed, We might anticipate this, from its
well-known anti-periOdic character.
The periodic desire for stimulants to follow

u The Leavenworth Press brought out Col
John A. Martin for United States Senator, in Or
der to make opposition to Ingalls, at his home.
But the popular current has started the Colonel
in the direction of the Governors office, TO the
CONSERVATION of George t. Anthony, the candi-
date of the Press. This is more than the Press
bargained for but it can't stop the tide. Better
not start ball rolling down hill, unless you are
what direction it will take lest it take your
cob house in its course. Two or three papers
are just now telling what friendly feeling they
have for Martin, and are anxious to do all they
can for him-bWt-(that but always spoils it,

remain private citizen, and not oppose George

of the union of political families, and of saying,
among other things, that Secretary Sherman is
the head of the hard money party, while his
brother-in-law, Gen. Ewing, is the head of the

DIVIDING WoRDs.-Some authors printers
and proof readers frequently strain point in
dividing words by a hyphen, at the end of the
line. We notice that Burke's WesterR HoE.estead,
finding it necessary to divide the name of the
poet Coleridge, does it thus: Coler- ridge. This
makes it word of three syllables-Co Ter idge.
We have been scolded more than dozen
times for dividing England thus, England, in
stead of En- gland. As England means the la nd
of the Engles or Angles, and does not refer to
a gland. we still contend that is Eng land, and
not England; for words ought always to be di :
vided on their proper syllables.
Neglect is word in very common use. The
dictionary very plainly divides the syllablss,
neglect. We cannot tell how often We have
had our proof marked on this word, compelling
US to divide it, ne glect. But when We got to
reading proof of our own, you bet we played out
that sort of hifalutin. Occasionally printer
comes along, who has worked in hgh-toned
Offices, who belongs to the ne-glects, and some
times divides the word when It is not necessary,
in order to enjoy the pleasure Of SO dividing it,
But We mark it on him, every time. No ne
glect in ours.
