Journals have distinctly diminished their reflective

English people, yet the columns of the London
journals are crammed with unintelligible bulletins
and undgested details and with all the files before
him the agent OF our own Associated Press finds it
an almost hopeless task to make up plain and
complete record of the news of the day. Readers
of American journals, suspect are confused and

every morning; and their embarrassment becomes
still more dense when " the snippety kilograms"

The Spectator complains that the warning func-
tom is not well performed by the London press
owing 10 the excessive dislike OF being proved by
events to be wrong, and asserts that neither their
art nor their resources enable the great journals to
anticipate even probable events" To our mind
prophecy is the very last function which journalists
should undertake. Not because they may have a
foolish dread Of being convicted of rrOrs of iudg-

because they don't know. When the public finds II

A Remarkable Root.

The Baltimore Eoening Ne,cs says:-A
countryman residing at Finksburg, on the
Western Maryland Railroad, has discovered
a root which he claims to be better than qui-
nine in cases of fever, and superior to any
medicine yet put before the public as spe-
cifc for coughs, colds and consumption.
DR.. Warren WEIGH, one of the leading den
lists of Baltimore, who had been suffering
from severe cough and hectic fever for some
years past, left his residence, No. 70 North
Liberty street. early in the season, and engag-
ed rooms at the house of Mr.. Stockdale, at
Finksburg There he met the countryman
and procured package of the root alluded to.
In day or two after testing the remedy
the cough that had troubled him for nearly
six years almost entirely disappeared and the
fever that twenty-five to thirty grains of qui-
nine day had failed to relieve subsidized, leav,
ing the tempature of the doctor in normal
condition. DIR. WEIGH since his return to Bal
timore has given small portions of the rem
edy to several of his friends, and it has invari-
ably relieved them of their trouble. The
countryman who discovered the root refuses
to disclose his secret

Sandy Mount Items.

On Sunday morning last the Rev. Augustus
Webster, D. D., of Baltimore city, preached
in the Methodist Protestant Church at Sandy
Mount to large and appreciative congrega-
ton. More than fifty years ago the now ven
cradle DIR. preached his first itinerant sermon
in the old Sandy Mount Church, which stood
upon the site of the present handsome edifce,
and it seemed no less pleasure to himself
than the community that he should again stand
in their midst to proclaim the same Gospel
truth. His text was from St. Paul's Epistle
to the Galatians, Wis. 1t is needless to say
that the sermon was a masterful exposition of
the text, and was listened to with marked at
tention. The Doctor referred very feelingly,
in the course of his remarks, to his early con-
nection with the charge, and to the fact that
those who were then his hearers had nearly all
passed away. The services were altogether
of the most impressive and profitable charac-
ter, and will doubtless long be remembered
by those who were present. ~

Last week man representing himself as
an agent for silver-plating and large jewelry
establishment in the western part of Balti-
more, visited this city and swindled number OF
persons out of gold bracelets, watches, spoons,
&c. His plan was to state that he would
replate articles, or take old-style jewelry and
replace it with the newest designs. The jew
elry he gave in exchange was of the cheapest
kind of trash, and those who gave him silver
ware to have replated will never see it again.
