ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINET1ETH year of it's ex-
istence, and is not only the oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast of the times
in all that pertains to a NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan,
tage Of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat.
ters concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns arc
carefully edited and its market re.
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts Of the coun.
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis-
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.

Early EncvcIopedias.

Pliny speaks of his great work on nat
ural history in thirty-seven books as an
encyclopedia Quintilian, Galen, Vitru-
vius and Zonaras apply the term to the
"doctrinarum omnium discipline" The
word was introduced into English in the
Sixteenth century by Sir Thomas Elyot,
who speaks of ''the world Of science and
circle of doctrine, whiche is in one word
of greke Encyclopedia" But the Middle
Ages had their encyclopedias also, the
greatest Of which was the "Speculum
Mundr of Vincent de Beauvais, who
was lector or librarian to st. Louis, in
the Thirteenth century. Itwas reprinted
in four folio volumes as late as 1924 by
the Benedictines of Arras.
We pass over a number of similar
works to which the revival of learning
in the Sixteenth century gave birth, al
Of them having been frequently reprinted
and in general use, until we arrive in
the Seventeenth century at the historical
dictionaries of Moreri and Bayle, which
still retain their place in our libraries
The first alphabetical encyclopedia II
English was the work of John Harris, G
London clergyman, who was secretary
of the Royal society and friend of New
ton. But this Lexicon Technicum'
was superseded by Chambers Universe
Dictionary, which was the most popular
book Of reference Of the Eighteenth cen
tury. Mr.. Lyons mentions that Abra
ham Rees produced an enlarged edition
Of this work in 1888, but he fails to dC
justice to the far more important ant

follows: 81 have been going to the Hot Springs
Ark, for fifteen wears for an itching humor in my

An Honest Snowman.

Lord Stowell, who went to see every
exhibition, provided it did not cost more
than shilling, once presented himself
at the door Of a show where snake of
some more or less gaudy color was ON
view. But the sight of so good custo-
mer was too much for the conscience of
the Snowman, who exclaimed, like Mrs.
Cluppins, "My lord, will not deceive
you It's only the old snake with new
coat Of paint" The Snowman doubtless
meant well, but he certainly acted i'll.
Harmless pleasures are not so common
In life that even successful lawyers
ought to be deprived of them without
cause. Lord Stowell would have graft
fed the lust Of his eyes without risking
the salvation Of his soul If only he had
been permitted to gaze upon skin
where nature had been eclipsed by art.
A certain amount of wholesome igno-
rance Is necessary to the enjoyment or
even to the federation of existence. The

when Davis Left Fortress monroe.

George Alfred Townsend, who saw
Davis leave Fortress Monroe for Rich
mond, says: "His pictures heroized him
and gave him a classical profile and an
eye Of ruling decision, which now he did
not show. Still, in this setting of Hamp-
ton Roads, the man couldnot be else than
the central figure. The great law Of as
sociation made him the parsonage to
which everything in view was subservi-
ent-the old fort which was the entering
wedge into the late Confederacy; the
yellow barrack peeping over the parapet
where he had been imprisoned; the
wrecks Of the frigates sunk in the road
stead by his navy; the opposite cape
where lurked that morning terrible as
ever the superstition Of the iron monster
which had emerged thence for the delib-
crate work Of destruction at the COM
mand Of his will. And now he was the
riddle and perplexity of his conquerer;
this thin old man, just permitted to feel
the breath of liberty, whose name for
fear or wonder had gone round the world
and earned from cool head, even like
Gladstone, the opinion that Jefferson
Davis had made a nation. DE Fon-
