NUMBER 3.
The American Newspaper.
From the Kansas City journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The first newspaper ever printed
in America was established in Bos-
ton in 1890. One hundred years
later the total number was only
200, of which only two or three
were dailies. Since the close of the
American revolution the progress
of journalism in this country has
been marvellous. 1t is outhorita.
lively stated that the total number
of newspapers now published ex-
ceeds 5000 of which about 500 arc
dailies.
The wonderful growth of ofiournal-
ism was well illustrated in q lecture
delivered by Wendell Phillips in
New York some time ago, in which
he stated that when the battle of
Waterloo took place, in 1915, the
London Times devoted only one
third of a column to its description
Of that fearful and momentous
struggle, whereas a full page ac-
count of the Ute massacre of ten
persons in Colorado, a few years
ago, was given by the great Amer
lean dailies. And it might be adj
ded, the details concerning Frank
James and his recent surrender to
the governor Of Missouri have filled
from four to eight columns of many
of the leading daily newspapers Of
the country.
When William Lloyd Garrison
was mobbed in Boston in 1885, the
papers of that city published no
details of That outrage. President
Harrison had been dead ten days
in 1871, before the news reached
Springfield, ILL.,, and Abraham
Lincoln doubted the truth of tho
report even then on account of the
short time it had taken to convey
the message! Now the afternoon
papers announce William Z.
Gladstone's speech in the British
parliament this morning." The
influence of an enterprising news
paper conducted in an honest and
high-minded manner can hardly be
overestimated. 1t has largely
taken the place Of magazine and
printed volumes. Its brief and
terse comments upon passing events
are better suited to our busy peo-
pie, who have not time to read long
articles. 1t has even usurped, in
a large degree, the place of the
orator and lecturer, since the writ
ten words carry moro power with
them than the spoken. Mr.. Phil
lips aptly remarked with reference
to the man who reads newspapers,
"He has telegraph wire that con-
meets him with the world, and the
man who does not might as well be
Robinson Crusoe on his island"

WASHINGTON CRY, d. c.,
October 2S, 1882
The following is the Thanksgiving proc
lamation issued by the President of the
United States Of America
A PROCLAMATION.
In conformity with the custom Of the
annual observance which is justly held in
honor by this people, /, ChesterA. Arthur,
President of the United States, do hereby
set apart Thursday, the Both day of No
vember next as the day of public thanks
giving. Blessings demanding our graft
tude are numerous and varied, peace and
amity which subsist between this republic
and all the nations of the world, for free
dom from internal discortl and violence !;
for increasing friendship between the diff
ferent sections of the land of liberty,
justice and constitutional government for
devotion of the people to our free institu-
tions and their cheerful obedience with the
laws; for the constantly increasing
strength of the Republic while extending
its privileges to fellowmen who came to
us for improved means of internal com
munications and increased facilities in
intercourse with other nations; for the
general prevailing health of the year; Tor
the prosperity of all our industries for
liberal terms for mechanics; aifording a
market for the abundant harvests of the
husbandmen; for the preservation of
national faith and credit, for wise and
generous provisions to effect the intellect
ual and moral education of our youth for
the influences of conscience restraining
and transforming religion and for the joys
of home. For these and many other bless
ings we should give thanks Whereof
do recommend that the day above desig-
mated be observed throughout the country
rs the day of national thanksgiving and
prayer, and that the people ceasing from
their daily labors and meeting in accord
ance with their several forms OF worship
and draw near the throne of Almighty
God, Offering to Him the praise and graft
tude for the manifold good which He has
vouchsafed TO us, and praying that His
blessings and mercies may continue. And
do further recommend the day thus APP
pointed may be made the special occasion
for deeds of kindness and charity to the
suffering and needy, so that all who dwell
within our land may rejoice and be glad in
this season of national thanksgiving.
In witness whereof, l have written my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to he affixed. Done at the City of
Washington this 25th day of October in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-two, and Of the indie
pendence of the United States the one

the feet of any other state or terri
tory east or west. We take a
laudable pride in the fact that our
own camp has contributed much to
make that exhibit success.
In my late round among the
Camps in this vicinity ] found with
in q radius Of hundred miles the
following minerals; gold, silver,
copper, nickle, lead, zinc, iron,
cobalt, sulphur, gypsum, soda,
salt and fireclay; while of the
precious stones l procured speci-
mems of turquoise, topaz, ruby,
garnet, agate, amethyst, malachite
and blood-stone. And here be it
known that our coal is said to be
the best that has been found west of
the Mississippi river. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if any other like
section in the United States can
produce such a variety of those
concomitants which go to make
glad the heart of man and orna-
ment the person-of the cook.
And the Scenery ; 1t may be
equaled, but cannot be surpassed
anywhere on the face of the broad,
green earth. Perhaps the wales OF
Cashmere hold something as lovely
and as perfect as these broad val
leys sleeping under the flowers and
sunlight in land where all the
days are afternoons, but in the
mountains where eternal grandeur
dwells as first flung out by the crea-
tive hand of Omnipotence, and the
peaks stand snow-crowned and sun
set flushed, the tinkling bell and the
a'aras des caches of the Swiss peasant
would only add "a racket to the
charm.

The following is from the Chica-
go Tribune, but applies to White
Oaks as well;
One day Lucy and her brother
were going to the place where the
ice cream was kept. Lucy was
trotting along, holding Charles
hand she heard strange noise in
the street near them. Looking
she saw two boys with little ecru
dog. One boy had tied a string to
the poor dogs tail, and on the
other end of the string was a de-
ported oyster can.
"Oh, brother" said Lucy, "see
what the wicked boys are doing"
And then the tears filled her
eyes, because she felt sorry for the
dog.
Then Charles asked the boys to
let the dog go. They would not do
this, but said they would sell him
for twenty-five cents.
If we buy the dog, Lucy you
can have no ice cream, for / have
only twenty-five cents in my pock-
et," said Charles.
Then Lucy was very sad, for she
loved ice cream dearly, but still
she knew it was her duty to pre-,
vent the dog from suffering.
SO for a moment she was silent,
and then looking up to her brother
she said in her pretty way; "You
kick in the ribs of the boys, dear
brother, and | will hustle the pup
up the alley"
And 50 Lucy had her ice cream
after all.

Poem on the Death of a Young Man
Drowned in Sinking Greek.
BY BILL EYE.

o, treacherous, treacherous lido,
Young William for to drownd--
To madly yank him of his base
And whirl him round and round.
We found him in the twilight hour,
Freed from his earthly woes;
His calm face upward turning,
And alkali up his nose.
His person was sunk in the sitting sand,
His mouth was open wide;
The pollywogs nestled in his ears,
Beneath the fragrant tide.
His open-back shirt lay on the shore,
And the balance of his trosseau,
While his soul went scooting up the f1ue
Out through the ether blue.
Twas down around the Coyote Point,
We found him when evening fell,
And we planted him under the cactus vine
In the shaft of the Mountain Bell.
Goodbye, William, far away
On the edge of large damp cloud
Though you are among the angel gang.
You needn't feel so doggon proud.

The Rev. M. j. Savage, of Bos-
ton, preached n sermon on news
papers. "People often hold" he
said, "that the world is more
wicked now than ever before. An
explanation Of this, 1 believe, will
be found in the fact that no man
who is not so uttely alone and SO
far away that what he does and
says cannot be reported as news, is
safe to-day in the commission of
crime, for the chances are that
very soon he will see his name in a
newspaper, telling all about him,
and this, if you think of it, is the
one thing that the Eaverage man
fears more than he fears God, more
than he breads hell" On the other
hand, Mr.. Savage blamed the
newspapers because he thinks they
are generally cynical in tone.

A correspondent Of the Kansas
City JOurmdL among other things
has this to say of our country =
Nature seems to have been striking
it rich Of late, in an aesthetic way
At least she has been getting into
her soft clothes and spreading
around az if she meant to 60 to the
picnic or have a row with the old
man.-The promiscuous way in
which she fastens on her 'bokays"
would make the utterly-too-toots in
the last stages of goneness run
Wilde. One encounters torrent
of verdure and bloom everywhere.
Crimson and yellow nod to each
other across the gulches red and
blue meet under the shadows of
the pines and whisper the story of
life which gives them but time "to
be sweet and grow Old" Laughing
coquettish, wide-eyed daisies firt
with stately asters between the
rocks on the mountain sides. 1t is
one grand carnival Of bloom-of
semi-tropical luxuriant, wanton riot
the live long day.
But to come down to things more
practical the observer in travelling
over this Territory cannot help bo-
ing impressed with it's grand posi-
bilities on every hagd--its undevel-
oped resources-its diversity OF
climate, and the apparently mex
haustible richness Of its soil and
mineral, which, at no distant day,
will go to make it, not only selfsus-
tanning, but one Of the greatest
wealth-producing states in the
Union.
Its cattle and sheep are already
numbered by the hundreds Of
thousands, and new ranches are
daily being located, while corn,
wheat, oats, and all manner of veg
etables can be very successfully
grown along the water courses, and
in many places without irrigation.
However the conformation of the
valleys renders tho latter compare
lively an easy task as it usually can
be done with much less labor and
expense than would be required in
ditching an ordinary farm in the
States. This once accomplished
an abundant crop would be an abso
lutte certainty, be the drouth ever
so severe. Here in these noun
tains, at an altitude of over 5000
feet, without any especial care,
there have been potatoes raised
this season that weighed over three
pounds. Onions of four pounds
and over are not an unusual sight
in the White Oaks markets.

a Reproductive Comet.

The present comet in the eastern
sky, which can be distinctly seen
by every one at early morning, is
certainly the most remarkable one
of all the modern comets. Prof.
Lewis Swift, director of the Warner
Observatory, Rochester, New York,
states that the comet grazed the
sun SO closely as to cause great dis
turbance, SO much so that it has
divided into no less than eight sep
arate parts, all Of which can be dis
tinctly seen by a good telescope.
There is only one other instance on
record where a comet has divided,
that one being Biella's comet OF
1845, which separated into two
parts. Whether the great comet
viii continue to produce a brood of
smaller comets, remains to be seen.
