Curious Clippings from Paper
Printed sixty Years Ago.

Curious Clippings from Paper
Printed sixty Years Ago.
There lies before me copy of an old news
paper which gives us little insight into
the ways of the world sixty years ago. 1t
is the Pennsylvania hteligcncer, Harris
burg, Pa, Tuesday, April IL, 1927, Vol.
VII, No. 3S.
The paper is four-page, with rough, un-
trimmed edges, paper tough and parchment
like, yellowed by age. 1t has the name ~.
W. Nail" written In ink on the margin,
where 1t has been llfty-nine years. It's con-
tents are lengthy reports Of the Pennsyl.
vania Legislature upon the "Canal Bill,n
including in full speech of Mr.. Haines,
representative from Chester County; a com
munication from "ENOCH LINCOLN,n the
third Governor of Maine, to Governor
Shulzc of Pennsylvania, referring to "the
distribution of the surplus funds of the
United States, to promote internal improve
ments," and twenty-seven advertisements,
four Of which are of letters remaining In the
postofllces uncaled for.
The first page is more than half covered
by schedule of ''the ordnance, camp
equipage and military stores, property of
the State of Pennsylvania, deposited in the
State Arsenals." / notice the following
hawks, 55 scabbards for do. 81 scalping
knives; 10000 nints, etc." The report Is
signed by G. b. Porter, Adjutant General.
There is nothing In the paper to indicate
by whom or where 1t is published there are
no terms, either of subscription or adverts-
ing rates, and no items of news except
legislative. But when one glances over the
advertisements he begins to feel at home,
as 1t were.
Lees famous "Anti-billious pills, In tin
boxes' occupies nearly one column, and
the testimonials are headed by one from
"Jacob Sharp, Mayor of the city of Baltl-
more.n DR.. Dyott's "Anti-billious pills
and Circassian eye-water" come next with
three-quarters OF column, followed by
"Le Mo.ts cough drops" Four advertise
ments are for the benefit of insolvents
called upon for settlements. Here are
few notable advertisements:

How He Found n Mine.

John Quincy Adams, namesake Of the
great John O., struck rich mine some
where down in New Mexico in this way
While prospecting he found his haversack
on fire, his prospector's glass having focused
the SUMS rays upon IL. AS the haversack
contained about dozen pounds of powder
he dropped 1t and got out of the way in n
hurry. 1t fell into crevice, and large
mass Of rock was thrown up. Adams re-
turned mournfully to gather up what might
be left of his effects, and found an exceed
ipgly rich vein of ore which the explosion
had exposed to view. He sold third inter
est in his find for $lG,000 and very con-
slstently named the mine "The Nick Of
Time. " st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-10-22

The msnliness of the Bulgarian
character has again asserted itself in
clear, oulspoken terms that entitle it
10 the worlds admiration. Unstimu'
lated by the heroism manifested by
the comparative little Bulgaria, Tur-
key bends to Russian influence like
reed, and has the pusillanimity to be-
come Russia's tool 80 far as to counsel
Bulgaria to play the submissive COW
ard it shows itself to be, and cease OPP
posing Russia's attack on Bulgaria's
rights and liberties. Turkey has even
carried its subservience to the extent
OF sending an agent OF its own to aid
the arrogant Kaulbars in performing
his degrading task. Bulgaria is but a
spot on the map beside mighty Rus
sia; yet, standing ON its laws and con-
Btilution, the government declares
that it will no more give up its rights
to Turkish than to Russian interfer.
encs. Right msy, in truly Russian
style, ss often before, be crushed
ia the end by might, but the Bull.
ga,ians are true to themselves
and true 70 lhtir country, and II they
have to surrender to the might, they
win still uphold the rights in the
sight Of high heaven and of every son
and daughter Of man. The plot is

SIGNS OF COMING doom.

The European press ard the daily
telegr5ms from that side the &C IAN
show tba, war and military matters
are everywhere subjects OF the fist
consideration. Soldiers, drill, mill
tsry equipments, repeating rifer,
magazine guns, enormous cannon,
explosives, harbor defenses, war
Ship, and endless similar topics are
discussed in the press and acted upon
in the government offices. Rare it is
that high authority in England brings
matters connected with the internal
arrangements Of the army before the
country, but in very striking way
the British commanding general, the
Duke OF Cambridge, has just done 20.
In a pubic circular he states that he
has personally observed inefficiency
among the army officers. This is a
grave charge to make against a very
proud body OF men, and that 1t should
be stated in a public manner at all is
proof that the present aspect Of affairs
is regarded as ominous OF trouble and
danger, and considered grave
enough to require extraordinary
means OF stimulating the army
to put itself in complete warike
condition. The people Of Europe
are everywhere uneasy and anxious.
They feel that war is in the air, and
with approhensive care they watch
the dealings and communications OF
each country with the other. Every
where in government works the ut.
most activity prevails. The author
aud center OF all the stir and prepare
ton is Russia. Tdat country Is fulfill
ing its destiny, and unless other
countries circumvcnt ito schemes Rus
elan destiny will be their doom. Ma
poleon's prophecy that Europe would
become either republican or cos'sck is
fast approaching accomplishment. AT
the latter end of the last century a
similar feeling of anxiety WAS every
where prevalent. The cd govern.
ments trembled for their existence
the influence and potency of coming
change was felt. We know how all
these antiCipations were fulfilled. The
French revolution and the guillotine
followed, and Napoleon changed the
entire map Of Europe. Let us hope
the nineteenth century will wind up
under more favorable auspices than
did the eighteenth.
