A writer In the Brooklyn Eagle on
American journalism to-day and seven.
ty years ago says: If we take for illus.
tratiOn the year 1910, we shall find that
in the whole Union there were then but
1913 newspapers and twenty-five other
periodical publications, making 1862 in
all. Ofthcse the district of Maine pro-
duced eight; Massachusetts, proper,
twenty-four ; New Hampshire, eleven
Vermont, thirteen Connecticut, eleven;
Rhode Island, seven New York, forty.
eight New Jersey, six Pennsyl-
vania, twenty-five Virginia, eighteen
District OF Columbia, four Maryland,
eleven Della ware three North, Caro-
lima, twelve; South Carolina, seven
Georgia, six ; Kentucky, seven Ohio,
seven Tennessee, five f; Louisiana, four;
Mississippi territory, one. Now, to
illustrate by single chance example
how newspaper literature has extended
in these older States, it is enough to say
that there are now in the district of
Maine fifty seven papers, of which
twelve are daily, two tri.weekly, two
semi weekly, one monthly, and the rest
weekly in 1910, as we have seen, there
were but eight in all. In New York
city alone, If we add the magazines,
there are actually more periodical pub
LEGATIONS than there were seventy-three
years ago In the whole country.

garment too fine for man or maid

cobhler or cooper or a king to sit in
never house too fine to shelter the
human head. These elements about us

are not too good for the human race.
Elegance fits man ; but do we not value
these tools little more than they are
worth, and sometimes mortgage a house
for the mahogany We bring into it?

Corn Retarns from chester County

John Tweed, of Franklin Township,
Chester County, has left at the REpUB
LICAN Office bis contribution to our large
corn collection. The contribution con.
sisted Of seven ears. Two Of them were
raised from one stalk, and each measur
ed llA inches In length. One chubby
ear, 81 inches long, had 80 rows, and
contained ! ,408 grains. One car mea.
sured 1511 inches, one Az and another
1871. One ear 1871 inches in length,
weighed two pounds lacking an ounce.
Such lot Of corn Ia hard to beat, but
the credit does not altogether belong to
ChesterCounty, Mr.. Tweed beinga Della
ware farmer, who removed to that
County few years ago, and had learn
I'd TO raise big corn before his removal
Mr.. Tweed took two Of the largest ears
away with him, to take them to Il Q vii.

compete for a prize offered for the largest
corn raised in Chester County. Mr..
Tweed has 100 acres of very fel tile land,
near Kimbleville, and wishes to sell 1t.
A farm that raises such corn should
bring a good price.

7 The afternoon slipped quickly
by. there were new magazines to
talk about and the latest embroidery
to explain, and when at six o'clock
her friends had gone, and Mrs.
Strong met her husband she as
sured him she had delightful day.
Yet her husband noticed a differ
ence in his wife at once. At first
he thought it was only because the
dear little woman had been too
hard at work beautifying and
cleaning up, but as day after day
the shadow did not leave her face,
though it lifted at times, he won
dered "what had come over Nellie?"
Her bright ways had changed.
Every time she went into the parlor,
it seemed so very empty, and she
heard again the question. "How
do you like this place to live in?
I don't see how you stand it." The
boys felt the difference. Mother
didn't go to skate, and though she
came out and looked at their
SNOW man, she didn't stay and
SNOWFALL them, but went in at once
to sit at the fire and think-of
what? She began to forget what
had been, and to think that what
was, was very hard indeed.
Il don't see how I've stood it,
she said to herself, '.there's really
nothing to here!' To be sure
there was that quilt she had been
making for the Home of the Friend
less, and she was only half through
that last volume of essays, but
-.she didn't feel like it," and SO
sat and thought and wished, till at
last one day she startled her hus-
band by bursting into tears.
John thought the sky was falling
when his wife, who had been so
brave and cheerful through such
real trials, broke down in that way

"reminiscences by one who Knew and Heard
Him.

We have read many descriptions
of the effect produced by great
orators upon their audiences, and
have once or twice witnessed queer
scenes of the same kind, as it has
been our fortune to hear some great
men speak, but an incident related
to US several years ago by gentle
man who has long been prominent
in public affairs and who was once
a United States minister to a Euro
pean Court, is perhaps as remarka-
BILE an illustration of the power and
eloquence as any ever recorded.
The gentleman referred to was
walking with US from the Capitol in
Washington just after we had both
been listening to an unusually fine
speech in the House of Represen-
tatives, upon which we were COM
menting, when turning to us, he
said:
s.You are not old enough to re-
member William C. Preston when
in public life. He was by far the
greatest orator that I ever heard,
and never equalled pehaps, by any

his great contemporaries speR'

ADVICE.

81 must do as you do?"-Your way, I own,
Is very good way; and, still.
There are sometimes two straight roads to O
town
One over, one under the hill.
You are treading the sefe and well-worn way
That the prudent choose each time,
And you think me reckless and rash to-day
Because I prefer to climb.
Your path is the right one, and so Is mine,
We are not like peas in pod,
Compelled to lie In certain line
Or else be scattered abroad.
'Twere dali old world, methinks, my
friend,
If we all went just one way,
Yet our paths will meet no doubt at the end,
Though they lead apart to-day.
You like the shade and like The sun;
You like an even pace;
like to mix with the throng and run,
Aud then res: after the race.
/ Ike danger and storm and strife;
You like peaceful time;
l like the passion and surge of life;
You Ike its gentle rhyme.
You like buttcrcups, dewy sweet,
And crocuses, framed in snow;
like the roses born Of the heat,
And the red carnations glow.
must live my life. not yours, my friend,
For so it was written down;
We must follow our own given paths to the
end,
But trust we shall meei-in town.

moter of the Hancock boom, has
bought the Brooklyn Union and is
going to run it as an independent

whose amorous and other adventures
are notorious, couldn't get his own
way on the Eagle and was bound
to have it somewhere else.

ludicrous fact that one of the prom

the Journal Of Commerce, who was
imprisoned in Fort Lafayette for
publishing the famous (or infamous)
bogus proclamation, and who was
forced by that most dangerous

brokers, to hoist an American Flag
over his building after one Of his
obnoxious editorials. They gave

hanged him out Of his own windows,

the premises there was some tall
scratching around by his friends,
