Jefrerson's Pessimistic Remarks Upon the
Fourth Estate of the Republic.

Jefrerson's essimistic Remarks Upon the
Fourth Estate of the Republic.
The London Times has just COM
pleted its hundredth year. But it is
not as old IS our Newport Mercury,
upon which Dr.. Franklin did journey
work in his prentice days. 1t is of a
graceful s%alutation to a %centenarian
journal to recall Jef1crson's remark in
a letter written in 1907, that '.nothing
can now be believed which is e in a
newspaper. Truth itself becomes sus-
pc Gus by being put in that polluted
vehicle. The real extent of this misin-
formation is known only to those who
are in situations to confront facts with
in their knowledge with the lies of the
day. l really look with commiseration
over the great body of my fellow-citi-
zens who, reading newspapers, live and
die in the belief that they have known
something OF what has been passing in
their time; whereas the accounts they
have read in newspapers are just as
true 4 history of any other period of
the world rs of the present, except that
the real names of the day are affixed to
their fables. l will add that the man
who never looks into a newspaper is
better informed than he who reads
them, inasmuch as he who knows moth
ing is nearer the truth than he whose
mind is filled with falsehood and err
rors. He who reads nothing will still
learn the great facts, and the details
arc all false"
These extremely pessimistic remarks
upon a power which calls itself the
fourth estate of the realm, and which,
as Thackcray said of a certain gentle
man. thinks no small potatoes of itself,
occurs in Il letter to Mr.. John Norvell,
replying to u request to mention a good
elementary work upon civil govern
mcnt. Jefferson mentions Locke, Sid
ney. Priestle.y. Chapman, and the Fed
crulisl. with Beccaria, Smiths .'Wealth
of Nations" and Says '.Polit:cal Econ
omv." which he says is not vet trans
lated into English, The observations
upon the press are by far the most pun
gent and energetic in the letter, and
they show-for it was toward the end
OF his second tcrm-that Jefferson had
felt the thrusts OF the Federal news
papers. But Jefferson had also taken
a hand in the game. While he was
still Secretary of State he made Philip
Freneau translator in the State Depart
mcnt, and Freneau's paper assailed
Washington and Hamilton. and, as
was understood, not only with the
countenancc. but with the aid of the
Secretary.
The reader perceives also that Jetfer-
son winds up this tremendous jeu de
,joic aga;n-s the falsity and worthless
ness Of newspapers with a letter in
which he recommends, among The few
sources of sound knowledge upon the
subject of civil government, . series of
newspaper essays. The Fcderalist was

EGYPT.
A Description of - Portion of the Press

A Description of - Portion of the Pres
ent Seat of Wa in That Country.
He who has never travelled through
the desert can not form a just idea
of that strange and marvellous region, in
which all the ordinary conditions of
life are completely changed. 1t is es-
sentially a waterlcss land, without riv-
ers, creeks, rivulcts, or springs. Once
away from the Nile, the only supply of
water is derived from deep wells, few,
scanty. and far apart. Long droughts
are frequent. When I explored the
great Arabian Desert between the Nile
and the Red Sea, it had not rained for
three years; and when l travelled over
the Suakim route and through Kordo-
fan, no rain had fallen for two wears.
Between the twcnty-ninth and the nine
teenth degree of latitude it never rains
at ali. Water becomes precious to a
degree beyond the conception of those
who have never known it's scarcity.
Members of the Catholic mission
at Ell Obeid, where water
is much more plentiful than
in the deserts, assured me that the
summer before water had been sold as
high as half a dollar a gallon by the
proprietors of the few wells that had
not dried up. When long droughts oc-
cur. the always scanty crop of doura
fails away from the Nile, and the
greater parts of the flocks and herds
perish, as well as a considerable part
OF the population. 1t follows naturally
that when undertaking a journey
through the desert, the paramount
question is water. A supply must be
carried sufficient to last to the next
we'll be it one or five days distant. 1t
is usually carried in goat and OK skins
suspended from the camels' pack-sad-
dies. These are the water-bottles of
Scripture, which become leaky from
wear, and always lose a considerable
portion of their contents by evapora-
ton. The first thing after reaching a
well is to ascertain the quality of its
water. AS to the former, it may
have boen exhausted by a
preceding caravan, and hours
may be required for a new supply to
ooze in again. AS to the quality, desert
water is generally bad, the exception
being when it is worse. though long
custom enables the Bedouins to drink
water SO brackish as to be intolerable
to all except themselves and their
tiocks. Well do 1 remember how at
each well the first skinful was tasted
all around as epicures sip rare wines.
Great was the joy if it was pronounced
