HARLEM Courant, is dated Jan. 8, 1855.
1t was then called De Weecketycke
Courante van Europa and contained two
folio pages of news. The first Russian
newspaper was published In 1903. Peter
the Great not only took part personally
in its editorial composition, but In cor

first newspaper established in North
America was the Boston Newsletter,

A Blasted Life.
tPunxsutawney Spirit.l

A Finlander employed on the Clarion
River railroad, which intersects the
b., r. & p. at Carman, was brought to
the Adrian hospital last Saturday in II
frightful condition. He was engaged in
blasting rock, and one of the shots did
not go off as soon as was expected, when
he returned to examine IT, While doing
so the explosion occurred, and the Fin
lander shot up into the air along with
the fragments of rock. Both his eyes
were blown out and he was otherwise
badly mutilated. 1t is hardly expected
that he can recover, and II he should he

Friday, August 10th, was Grange day at
Chautauqua, Ex-President Rutherford
B. Hays acted as chairman of the
meeting held in the Amphitheater.
Among the speakers was DR.. John
Trimble, Of Washington, one of the
original seven founders OF the order
of the Patrons of Husbandry, or
the Grange. The Doctor closed his
address by saying: "The National
Grange has taken stand. 1t is not a
political machine. But it goes boldly
before legislatures and the general
public, to assert the needs and the
rights Of the farmer. 1t does this tenn
perately and firmly, and knows no such
words as fail. It's achievements in
the past are the best guarantee of its
success in the future. Meanwhile, it is
carrying into the scattered and often
isolated farmhouses of the nation sense
Of brotherhood and social fellowship, an
atmosphere of sound morality, and high
regard for religion which comforts the
hearts Of thousands of men, women and
children, and makes farm life better,
brighter, purer and nobler. God bless
the Grange"

Some one thus beautifully writes about
the boys who love their mothers: "Of
all the love affairs in the world, nothing
can surpass the true love Of the big boy
for his mother. 1t is pure love and
noble: honorable in the highest degree
to both. do not mean merely dutiful
affection. mean love which makes
a boy gallant aud courteous to his
mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is in love with her. Next to
the love of husband nothing so crowns
woman's life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of u son to her.
And I never yet knew boy to turn
out bad who began by falling in love
with his mother. Any man may fall in
love with fresh-faced girl and the
man who is gallant with the girl may
cruelty neglect the worn and weary
wife. But the boy who is lover of his
mother in her middle age is true
knight, who will love his wife as much
in the sere-leaved autumn as he did in
the daisied spring time"

There is, perhaps, no better test of a
mans real strength and character than
the way in which he bears himself un-
der just reproof. Every man makes mis-
takes; every man commits faults; but
not every man has the honesty and
meekness to acknowledge his errors and
to welcome the criticism which points
them out to him. 1t is rarely difficult
for us to find an excuse for our course,
II II Is an excuse we are looking for. 1t
Is, in fact, always easier to spring to
angry defense of ourselves than to
camly acknowledge the justice of
anothers righteous condemnation of
some wrong action of ours; but to refuse
to adopt this latter course, when we
know that we are In the wrong, is to
Iour own better consciousness, and often
Ito the consciousness of others, an essen
M defect in our character. He is

accomplishments, or their prominence In
fashion. The society that wants him can
take him in. and the society which does not
want him can keep him out: and he has the
same privilege OF acceptance or rejection on
his own part.
That constitutes general answer to the
question OF our correspondent. but the
same principle applies also to the specific
case he mentions. As matter OF fact. the
woman OF tho I" so-caled 4oO' would not be
likely to invite the milliner to her grand

any obligation OF extending such an

ion does not cast any reflection on the oc-
cupatlon OF the milliner by not asking her to
her feasts. any more than the milliner shows
disrespect for her apprentices IL she prefers
the society Of other women at her own DIM
ners. Each OF them has the liberty OF In
viting whom she chooses.
That Is not aristocrntic exclusiveness. 1t
is democratic freedom. There Is no taboo

nor any other. Miliners. butchers. and

Such invitations are favors extended. They

run. people usually get into their proper
places socially. wherein alone they have
