OFFICIAL JOURNAL Of the Parish Of LAFAYETTE
and Of the Town ol HBMIhI0NVILLE,

1t was not a very sensible or very
graceful thing for Dean Stanley to say
what be said recently in London at din,
ner party given by an American gentle
man. Neither was the statement one
that either positively or comparatively
could be considered truthful While Wis
itIng this country short time since be
enjoyed the hospitalities of the people of
the Northern States, and particularly Of
New England, to which he mostly con
fined his visit, and seemed to return to
the classic shades Of Westminster imbued
with a very favorable impression of that
portion Of America and American society
that fell Immediately under his own obser-
vation. But Of those sections Of the coun-
try that be didn't see, and of the social
life thereof, he seems to have formed a
very rash Judgment, and very injudicious
", so far as time and place goes, has given
it to the public in an after dinner speech
a speech for which no apology can be
given, excepting that it was made ''be-
tween the walnuts and the wine"
On the occasion alluded to the distin
guished Dean of Westminster denounced
an entire section Of this Republic as ''sunk
in barbarism and unworthy of any ssnypa-
thy or any recognition by the phi'anthro
py and high civilization Of England 1t
is quite probable that Dr.. Stanley was
honestly infused with this belief while
sojoufning in America. While canned
baked beans aud Goldfish balls carry with
them none of the moral or aesthetic at
mosphere that prevails where they are
prepared, there can be no doubt but that
the Dean, in feeding upon these sectional
ylapds, in their fresh SAVIOR, hot from the
oven, swallowed good deal Of the local
prejudices that there exist against the
land of terrapin and gumbo soup and
canvas back ducks. But it was in ex-
ceediugty bad taste, it strikes U.s. for him
TO explode his hastily formed and expaIte
CONCESSIONS upon miscellaneous social
company amongst whom were one or two
thus stigmatized
Especially so as within sight Of the
grand dome Of ST. Pau's London, there
exists more revolving evidences Of human
depravity, vice debasement, crime-more
results of the oppressive influences Of a
pe'nicious government, more innocent
suffering aui more barb.rism than can be
raked out Of any section of this country
with a moral or political fine toothsd
comb in the hands Of church synod or
campaign committee Cincinnati Star.

The boy stood on the back yard fence,
whence all but him hal fed, the flames
that lit his fathers barn shone just above
the shed. One bunch Of crackers in his
hand, two others in bis hat, with piteous

Of one small dog bed tied; that dog in an.

How Not to Get the Local
4 News.

The other day an old and respected
citizen came into oar Office, aud after
paying his last years subscription, took &
seat and remarked:
II guess you needn't send me the pape,
any longer; | have Just subscribed for a
Philadelphia paper which salts me pretty
we'll. and it doesn't cost as much as the

| Here he handed us the paper for in
spection. We found it to be nea; look
ing sheet. handsomely ptuted, with a
large engraved head, containing about
forty eight coiums Of n; scelaneous read
ing matter .-.
"Fair looking paper" We remarked as
we handed it back to hin; but did you
ever SEQ anything in it concerning our
parish q
We'll, I don't kaow as eye: have"
"Anything in regard to this State 2"
Nothing"
"And yet you give up a paper that
contains the loca! market reports, the
state of the crops, the deaths and mari
ages, and the thousand and one happen
ings from week to week, which make UP
the history Of the region in which you
are most Interested and which you can
get from no other source and take instead

Ntte cheaper "Yes, and it contains
more reading matter" he added.
"Certain|y," we remarked. but what is
the character Of the matter? Nothing in
regard to your own vil'age-your schools,
yous churches, your local Improvements
and the thousand and ons th ngs that
happen in your parish. There is nothing
in it that helps build up your parish and
support home institutions. It is as for
egn to you as thu city in which it is
published. 1t may contain more reading
matter, but your neighborhood is not re
presented in its columns
''But why can't you furnish your paper
cheaper, if they can aft 'rd much larger
one in the city at low prices' be
queried. "Labor is certainly cheaper
here"
For the reason that a country paper
has small circulation compared with q
city paper, and the labor expended upon,
l 900 papers is about the same as on 50,.
600, especially when it is taken into con
sideration that the city weekly which is
furnished for dollar per year, is made
up" Of the type set for the daily
That's enough" exclaimed the old
gentleman, as be pulled out his wallet,
''jus. send me ths Observer for another
year!'
As he bads US good morning, and pass
ed through the sanctum door, We heard
him remark: "I.'s my belief tha. man
who stops or refuses to subscribe for his
local paper, simply because it doesn't
contain as much realing matter as one
':made up" from daily and published in
the city, should be supplied with medical
aimanacs at the public expense"

Too Much ScIENcE.-The London
Lancet is constantly finding out some
thing or other to make people nervous.
Some time ago it showed that the con.
sequence Of getting ones head "sham.
pooed" at a bsrber's was au attack Of ty
phoid fever. So people gave up being
shampooed, especially the people with
b.ld heads Then it discovered that
every house was flied with sewer gas,
and that they were all going to be poison
ed. Then there was death in the milk,
and that was banished from the table.
Next the Lancet discovered that coup
le of glasses of wine day were fatal e
the constitution, and it followed this up
by announcing that the water Of London
was very dangerous, so that a: this mt
ment it left nothing whatever to drink
Then it clearly proved that jam tarts were
bad for the health, but most people who
had tried them in sufficient quantities had
found that out before. The reason as.
signed by the Lancet was that the jam in
the tart was doctored.
ntsiHg mus depIi'ed US VI Tie Tvs
chief articles Of sustenance, jam tarts and
milk, the Lancet wishes US to leave of
wearing clean linen. 1t says that tbs
Iaundresses live in infected" places, and
that we run the risk Of catching small.
pox aud scarlet fever from the clothes
they bring home. The same way will
taiors, 50 that the only really safe course
now open to US is to go without food and
without clothes. In this condition We
must not 60 indoors for shelter for fear O
sewer gas. Never was Christian people
reduced to more miserable plight Is il
not just possible that what we want il
the present day is little less science anG
a little more common sense - English

CouLDS'r GAME H1M-There was a

terror at the foot Of Woodward avenue
yesterday to see the shipping. Several
bootblacks had tackled him for job il
vain, and they finally got together behind
some bunches of shingles aud went into

scheme for revenge. As a result, an in

chance to win it. Just stick out ytr foot

The stranger slowly consented. and
held his watch to time the work. Fl
worked fast aud he had good polish on
the shoe in about three minutes. When
through he rose up, packed away his
bundles, and the stranger found himself in
Just the fix the boys had planned. They
