The Oldest English Country News
papers.

The first English country newspaper
was the Lincoln, Rutland AMI SIAM
ford Mercury, which made its first ap-
pearance in 1896. The Salisbury Post
man made its first appearance in 1716.
Its prospectus of September 9th of that
year ran thus: "This paper contains
IN abstract of the most material occur
rences of the whole week, foreign and
domestic, and will be continued every
post, provided a sufficient number will
subscribe for Its encouragement. If
200 subscribe 1t shall be delivered to
any public or private house in town
every Monday. Thursday or Saturday
morning, by eight o'clock in winter
and by six in summer for S1.50 each.
Besides the news, we perform all other
matters belonging to our art and mys-
terry, whether in Latin, Greek, Hebrew,
algebra, mathematics. etc."
BY 1882 the number of provincial
papers had increased to fifty. A vivid
description of the state of the roads In
this country in winter time two CEN
turtles ago is given in the following ex.
tract from the Collections for Huss
bandry and Trade" March 10, 1893 :
"The roads are filed with snow, and
we are forced to ride with the pacquet
over hedges and bitches. This day
seyen-nights my boy with the pacquet
and two gentlemen were seven hours
riding from Dunstable to Hockey. but
three miles, barely escaping with their
lives, being often in holes and forced to
be drawn out with ropes. A nan and
woman were found dead within a mile
hence. and six horses lie dead on the
road between Hockey and Brickhil /,
s nothered."

MANY mothers, and often those who
are the most competent to teach their
daughters the housewifery arts, in
which they themselves excel. are back
ward about doing so because Of their
very th~oroughness, and their dislike of
seeing the work ~awkwardly performed.
II prefer doing it myself. for then it
will be done right" says one short
sighted mother. II have no mack of
Instruction." says a second, who is
ayerse to teaching her child those things
which had been patiently taught her by
her own mother.
Let the little girls perform light
tasks; the younger they commence, the
easier they will learn to set tables,
wash dishes, clean knives, sweep, etc.
If they have a taste for it, and many
girls have, it is a positive wrong to
keep them in ignorance till learning be-
comes a task instead of a pleasure; and
if no natural liking exists, the faculty
should be more carefully stimulated.
1t is a matter of vital Importance to
the happiness of the home over which

Tor her son or daughter on leaving the

can there be where the only depend

her mistress to be ignorant, is almost
sure to become careless. But to the
scores Of girls who every year marry
expecting to perform their own house,
hold work, ignorance brings retribu-
ton quickly. Love in a cottage thrives
but feebly on salaratus bread and heavy
pie crust. Fast fades the romance

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

An attempt was made to wreck
the Pennsylvania Limited Vestibule
passenger train neal Canton, Ohio, at
about u O'Clock on the evening OF the
I'd. Eight pieces of iron, such as are
used TO fasten 1T" rails together,
were tightly wedged into the switch
cal the little town. An east. bound
passenger train passed safely over the
obstruction, but an unusual jolting
caused the train men to be alarmed,
ana they reported the matter to the
operator. He investigated the cause
AID stopped the limited before 1t
reached the switch. The irons had
been placed in the switch with the east
ends raised 80 As to derail a West
bound train, while allowing an east
bound 10 pass over with only a little
jarring The switch is only sixty feet
from a bridge, and the momentum
would have thrown the whole train
into the creek, and the consequences
would have been terrible.

Gentleman.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Feb. 10.-News
of political nature was scarce to-day.
The recent visit of Senator-elect McMil-
Ian of Michigan is now said TO have been
for the purpose of urging the selection of
Senator Palmer as the head of the new
department of agriculture, and that
he went away satisfied Michigan
would get that place. His visit, how
ever, has given an impetus to the talk Of
Alger for the war department, which
had died out some days ago, as it was
said, because of the remonstrance against
his appointment by Senator Sherman
Maj. Calkins, who was for several
years a member of congress for the Thir-
teenth Indiana district and Republican
candidate for governor of the state in
1884, has just returned from a visit TO
New York. He went on private business,
but while there he closely observed
the situation, and the results thus OBJ
tanned will be given to Gen. Harrison.
He regards the situation there as being
too deeply involved for the general to
settle it satisfactorily by cabinet appoint
ments. He says the farmers and all the
church element support Miller, while the
party machinery is allied to Plat, and
that no peace is possible between the two
factions.
A. d. Dudley, an intelligent colOred
man of AmerIcus, Ga J., is in the city He
was delegate to the Chicago cOnyen-
ton and was one of the two Georgia men
who voted for Harrison. He comes to
present to the general his views Us to the
treatment that should be accorded the
cOlored men of the South. He says that
to ignore them in the distribution of pat
ronage, as has been urged by some OF the
Southern delega es, would be to destroy
the Republican party in the South. He
will call upon the general tomorrow.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Gazette.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Gazette.
WACO, Ten, Feb "A very sad
death occurred in Waco yesterday morn
ing. Two weeks ago a number of Baylor
university students slipped off from the
college campus with the inteL-
ton of taking in the town.
They persuaded to accompany them
c. s. Bodenheimer OF Wharton
a bright and promising young man, in his
nineteenth year and of most excellent
family. Some of the crowd got into q
row with a restaurant waiter, and when
the police arrived Bodenheimer and an
other student, neither of whom had par
ticipated in the row, were deserted by
their companions and were arrested
A revolver was found in Boden-
heimer's pocket, and the two were
placed in the county jail, where they re-
manned until next afternoon, when bail
was furnished. Bodenheimer went to
his room with a high fever and never rose
from it again Physicians visited him
and in few days pronounced his disease
pneumonia, but III his delirlum he con-
stantly raved of the disgrace of
being arrested and placed in jail.
He never rallied and died yesterday
morning at 3 clOcks HIS mother was
with him when he expired.
Interviews with several prominent
members of the I. o. O. F. who at
tended the meeting of the grand lodge
recently held in Corsicana, developed the
fact that the members of the grand lodge
are not satisfied with Corsicana as
permanent location of the grand lodge,
and some were emphatic in the statement
that the lodge would never meet there
again The chief cause of complaint is
that Corsicana is not central enough and
not easily accessible by rail. Waco, ever
alert, is already in communica-
ton with the authorities of the
lodge and will make proposition as soon
as the matter Is opened.
More trouble is brewing for the mayor
and city council over the matter of the
new charter. At the council meeting
last Thursday night petition was read
from citizens asking all officers
to resign when the new char
ter went into effect and Alderman
Caruthers introduced a resolution to that
effect Mayor Hinchman asked Alder
man Goode TO take the chair so he could
speak against the resolution and the
alderman remained in the chair until
after the vote was taken, but upon it ap-
pearing that it was tie
vote the mayor put Alderman
Goode, who favored the resolution,
out of the chair and decided the question
negatively Some of the aldermen claim
that the mayors action was unparlia-
mentary, aud will reopen the question at
the next meeting.
