RErROGREssION OF THE NEW
 YORK HERALD,


 An interesting article, from the pen of George Mills, on the decadenee of the New York Herald, appeared in the December number of the American Journalist.
 A few years ago the Herald stood at the head of journalism in America. It had no rival either in circulation or business patronage, While it still holds prominent place among nuws- papers, yet its retrogression has been marked and is all the more apparent when compared with the remarkable rise of its deswscd competitor, the World. It is said "Whom the gods would ruin, they first make mad, It is peculiarly applicable to the latter career of James Gordon Bennett, IT,, who inherited and retained the own ership of the Herald, hn income exceeding half a million dollars and the constantly growing prestige of the Herald, blinded Bennett to any possi- bihty of failure, and he plunged into all sorts of extravagauees His last wild venture was the purchase of a large block of the stock of John w. Mackay's Atlantic Cable Company, He found he was unable to pay cash for this particular purchase, but his credit was good and Mackay willingly took Bennetl's personal notes for the amount. The first of these came due a few months ago, It could not bo met and there was nothing left for Bennett to do but cede to Maekay one third of the Herald, which the latter now owns absolutely, and it is not im- probable that the remaining two- thirds will pass into his hands in the same way. The World, since its pur- chase by Joseph Pulitzer of St, Louis, has had a phenomiaal growth, and its sugcess is chetiy ascribed to the wise management of Mir. Wm. II. Henry, who was formerly in Bennett's em. ploy and was badly treated by the latter.
 On September 24, 1888, the Herald printed 122 columns of advertise. ments, which was 26 more than were printed by all the other New York dailies. The World then had only lS columns of advertisements. Now look at the change which fifteen months has wrought. On December 2l, 1884, the Herald contained but 5l columns of advertisements, while the World showed S2 columns. Itit not likely that the Herald will re gain its prestage, as Mir Mills truly remarks, that it is thousand times more difficult to recover lost ground particularly when the ground has beer lost by gross incompetence and egreg, ri5us folly, than it is to make new place for an entirely new business"

Since the decline in the price Of eop- per, that metal has come into more extensive use, The telegraph compa- nies are reHtting their lines win hardened copper wire, which is much more durable and preferable in many respects to iron The Baltimore < Ohio has put up about 1000 miles of copper wire and contracted for nearly as much more. The Western Union has put uP six copper wires between New York and Philadelphia, and are convinced of its superiority over iron, because of it's light weight and great condpetivity.

Sam PuFdy, of Yuma, elected by Democrats to the Legislative Assem- ply, after entering the party caucus and solemniy pledging himself to abide by its action, bolted its noini- nee for presiding officer of the house and voted for the Republican candi- date, thereby eieetiag him to the COW eted position. His apostacy ms been considered in caucus by his late polit- iGal eonferrees, who denounced him by resolution as an unprincipled ren. egade, and no longer worthy the con ,flenca of the Democratic party

The stock interest is largely repre- ssnted in the present. legislature and 1t is proper that t should be, as stock raising is growing more rapidly in Arizona than any other industry, and is at least of equal importance with mining It is very necessary that there should be stringent laws passed, to preserve our herds from infectious diseases rendered liable by the intro. ductlon of Texas cattle, and to protect the stockman in bis range and water rights. Several such measures willbe brought before the legislature at tbis session, which will doubtless receive tbsii' wisest deliberatioa and result in tNpassage of such laws as are needed toake Arizona tue most favored scc- tiAKFf Amcriea lor ths ioes raisrr

New fork, it seems has not profit cd by tke complete failure to tunnel the Hudson river between the me. tropolis and Jersey City.
 An engineering project of greater magnitude isnow being discussed there. It is proposed to run tunnel un- der East river, near Blackwell's Island, in order that western freight destined for Europe, may be carried without change to the eastern end of Long Island, there to be received by new line of American steamers, which are to run to Wales. Weare inclined to believe that this scheme is somewhat visionary, but the eastern extremity of Long Island and the most western port of Ireland will no doubt be eventually, the terminal points for great transatlantic steamship compa- mes.

 The Story 0f fEss Escape

To the Editor ofthe Milwaukee Sen tinet Sir; have read agood many stories of late concerning the condne- mcnt of sane persons in lunati1 asy- lums, and l nm thereby prompted to relate a bit of personal experience
 In the year of 1855, while I was serving the Methodist Episcopal Church in . New EngIand town, a neighbor's house took fire. In cons mon with others, l stood on tho edge of the root, passing buckets of water, exposed to intense heat Oh one side and freezigg winds on the other l took a fearful cold. For twenty-five years 1t worked havoc in my physical and mental system. Nevertheless, cons tinned in my ministerial duties l preached many sermon when suffer- ing intense agony Atcertain periods, however, l would De comparatively well, and then again, my head would get heavy, my breathing labored. my appetite fck1e Iwould lpose interest in life; feel sleeFy at midday, and waketul at midnight, My heart ocs casionslly gave ine great conceln. Not knowing to the contrary l at tributed this ill feeling to malaria. But eventually mental strength Eaded away, and was utterly prostrated l was cauterized, Cupped, blistered and treated by many physicians in many different ways,
 My case was puzzle as much to my phsicians as to myself. For one of them at first prescribed for delirum tremens, and yet l never had tasted intoxicating liquors. Another said l had brain disease, another spinal diff. culty, another nervous prostraton, heart disease, etc.
 My mind eventually gave way, and in 1882 was confined in the Brattle. boro, Vt, Insane Asylum for six months. When l ltnew where I was l demanded instant release. l then made visit to Oceanic, N. J, but had reckoned too much on my strength I again lost my reason for consider, able period.
 That was in a desperate condition is evident, Ny blood had become ir feeted with virus, which inHamed my braln occasionally and doomed pae to aT early death; for no physician gave mi any hope of a cure. I finally feunt out what my real disorder was, ani undertook ny own treatment. In [ few months Twas restored to such state of health az never expected < lenioy. That was over three year ago, and my physical and mental healtl have remained intact to this day. Last March ] came west, and engag ed in garden farming. In al tha time I have not lost a days work have apparently enjoyed tbe most viz orous health and 1 expect to live th, full term of life. The remedy l use, was Warmers safe cure, aud l shoult never tire of telling it's praises. You will confess with mo, Mir. Ed itor, that such \ change IS remarkable And you will, also, am sure, sgre with me, when l say that whateye created such a mental and physica restoration is deserving the highes 1 praise.
 Very truly yours,

Very Successful Entertainme nt.-A cor
respondent sends the following with arequest that
it be published: "The account which appeared in
the Journal of the Howard church Sunday school
entertainment at Deigels Hall, Philadelphia road,
December 30th having proved very unsatisfactory
to those interested, l would like THE UNION,
which is extensively read in this neghborhood,
to publish fuller particulars of the affair, which
in all respects success, rejecting much credit
upon all the participants. Much praise is due to
Mr.. Edward Herman and his sistes, Miss Lizzie,
for their efforts the duets rendered by them being
particularly fine and were loudly applauded, as
were also two solos by Miss Herman. A trio by
Mrs. Leonberger and daughter and Mr.. John
Mccormick was we'll received and they were
obliged to respond to an encore. A quartette by
Misses Carrie and Mary Volz, and Messrs. Jos.
Volz and John Kern was very fine, as was also
quartette by Miss Herman and brother and Mrs,
Leonberger and Mr.. j. Mccormick. Several
choruses were particularly well rendered and were
heartily applauded. German quartette, by
Mrs. Leonberger, Miss Herman and Messrs. Voz
and Herman, was highly appreciated. REGULATIONS
and dialogues in different dialects caused much
amusement and added greatly to the success of
the entertainment The Doctor and his hired
men, personated by Master ]. Dodson II. McCor-
mick, S. Leonberger F. Neimaster and D. Leon
berger, was very funny and was greatly enjoyed.
"The young men connected with the school
deserve much praise for thepar they took in the
entertainment. The organ used was kindly
loaned by Mr.. Henry Volz, and Miss Herman,
who is an accomplished musician, presided at the
instrument.
"The managers deserve great credit for the sue
cessful manner in which the affair was conducted,
particularly Mr.. VIM. J. Mccormick, assistant
superintendent of the school, for his painstaking
efforts to make it success He spent much time
and labor and we hope he may be spared to be
with us on many similar occasions. An earnest
appeal was made by him to parents to send their
children to the Sabbath school. The receipts of
the entertainment amounted to considerable
sum, which will be put to good use

Pikesville, Sd District.-A most agreeable
entertainment was given last Wednesday night,
at the Odd Fellows Hall, Pikesville, for the bene
fit of Mr.. Samuel Armstrong, worthy resident
of Arlington, who is afflicted with incurable
cancer. The entertainment consisted of poetic
and dramatic recitations and presentations by Mr..
H. Clay Preuss and very humorous and laugha-
BILE Ethiopian sketch by Mr.. Stanley Carver, en-
livened by most excellent music from the Pixies
Vile band, who kindly volunteered their services
on the occasion. The original poems recited by
Mr.. Preuss, abounded in beautiful and exalted
sentiments and were rendered in a style of finish
ed elocution. His rapid transitions of character
and change of voice in the dramatic dialogues
were remarkable, and his original humorous
dialogue, "John Bull and Brother Jonathan"
brought down the house in roar of merriment
and applause. The entertainment was concluded
by an appropriate address from Mr.. Buck, who
made suitable acknowledgment to the gentlemen
assisting in the programme also to the Pikesville
band and to the proprietor of the hall, which was
kindly given free for the benefit. B.

From Woodberry.--The Young Mems
Christian Association held its anniversary in
Grace M. E. church, on Monday night, 18th inst.
Their new president, Mr.. Alceas Hooper, was
present and filled the chair gracefully. The gen.
eral secretary, Mr.. W. H. Morris, from Balti-
more, delivered fluent and appropriate address.
That noble philanthropist, DR.. James Carey
Thomas, of Baltimore, gave us one of his proven
baly good little speeches. The reports of the
officers were listened to with much interest. Ad-
dresses were then called for from the ministers
present, when Revs. Messrs Gray, of the NJ. P.
church, Stinespring, of the United Brethren,
Kelly, of the Lutheran, and Myers, of Grace M.
E. church, spoke. The house was well filled with
an appreciative audience. The reports showed q
good work done and the association here to be in
good condition. While has such men as Messrs.
Eicheberger, Belt, Reynolds and others to hold
it up it will succeed. The music was of high
order. Miss Irene Eichelberger, as organist and
sopranoist, has no equal in all this region. She
is prominent member of Grace M. E. church
choir, and her father leader.
While other communities have their broils, with
serious results sometimes, is wonderfully ex-
empt. Local option is great help to US.
Our cotton mills are all running on full time
again, except the Meadow mill, which is nearly
up to full time. Our people appreciate it.
Some little speculation is INDUCED in relation
to our postoffice. A change is expected, notwith-
standing the Civil Service letter of the President
elect. Democrats don't seem to believe much in
that letter, and Republicans think it was for
Buncombe, or mere show. This phrase "Bun-
combe," sometimes spelled "Bunkum," is from
Buncome county, North Carolina. 1t is said to
have originated near the close of the famous
"Missouri Question" in the 10th Congress. 1t was
then used by Felix Walker, a naive old mountain
eer who resided at Waynesville, in Haywood, the
most western county of North Carolina, near the
border of the adjacent county of Buncombe, which
formed part of his district. The old man rose to
speak, while the house impatiently calling for
thequestion, and several members gathered around
him, begging him to desist. Hepersevered, how
--, CO.. ~--Lii-, deelarins that the PcoPle of his
district expected it, and that he was bound "to
make speech for Buncombe." OCCASIONAL.
