Snm, Of the Oldest Journals.

Which among the Nations in the world
is entitled to the credit of the first news
paperl The oldest journal in the world,
according to Mr.. Underhill, in his recent
introduction to "Thc Athenian Oracle, "
IS the London Gazette, which appearei /
first in 1866. This, of course, is a very
erroneous statement, but Mr. Underhill
would have been quite accurate if he
had said that the London Gazette was
the first newspaper in England that ever
inserted paid advertisements.
remember many years ago turning
up the first number OF the London Ga
zette in the British Museum and noting
the advertisement of a patent medicine
emanating from a firm which, to the
best of my belief, was 10 existence in
London less than twenty years ago. 1t
was not Godfrey cordial, but something
Of an analogous character.
That not very recondte authority,
"Haydn's Dictionary Of Dates" tells US
that the ancient Romans had daily news
papers called Acta Diurna, which were
issued in 69l b. c., that a journal
called the Gazetta was published IN
Venice about 1886, aad that the first
real newspaper published in England
was the Public IntelligenceL issued by
Sir Ro ;er L L'Estrange in 1868. l should
say myself that if exhaustive research
were made it would be found that the
Pekin Gazette enjoyed an extensive cir
cuIation some thousands of years before
Rome was founded. ed.-London Sunday

The famous locomotive that rolled
along the Pennsylvania tracks from Cone
maugh to Johnstown, shrieking its
whistle and giving the alarm before the
onconing 6ood, was wrecked near Al
toona recently. After the food the en-.
gile was found buried beneath a great
bank of sand near where the engineer
had abandoned it.

and began the ascent, over the rocks
which rolled aud slipped and threatened
her destruction.
Suddenly she stopped. That echo OF
falling powders was not caused by those
which heroBn feet had dislodge1. Then
she saw the figures offour men silhouette1
against the sky, and, frozen with terror,
watched them descending toward her.
They were the train wreckers, she
thought. She was doomed. She under
stood it clearly. She had put herself
out of the reach Of aid. Impulse had
cost her her life, as it had once cost her
its happiness. Well, life without hap

Miss Dcnslow's terror ended in an in
difference which was half unconscious
ness. But she was not of the sort which
faints. She listened dreamily to the
increasing sounds, and began to court; !;
curiously wondering how high her num-
bers would reach before her destruction
came.
"Up in the first thousand But that
stone rolled very near. One thousand
and twenty .one-Oh"

For an instant she thought that she
had "crossed the border" and had found
him on the other side; a hypothesis
quite remote from the fact that he had
been that one solitary passenger in the
other Pullman" to whom the loqua.

ly referred. She passed her haud across
her confused eyes; then saw William
Glenney distinctly in the flesh and peri

with hands outstretched towards her.

He fancied that he heard between the
broken words the answer which he

She looked at him bewildered.
He called the presiding elder and ex

were fallen leaves upon the shoulders Of
this priest, who Travelled heavenward.
This touched him as lightly as the rest;
and he turned readily from the mystery
of the wonderful place he was exploring
to the subtler mystery Of love; while
the commercial traveller aud the ulsociIl
merchant had no choice but silently
witness the simple ceremony which then
