A Novel Inquiry.

A novel inquiry has been made by the
Boston Journal of its readers. The lead
ing republican daily of New England de-
sires closer acquaintance with its So
900 subscribers. 1t already knows them
as body. 1t has had long and abun-
dant experience of their intelligence, pa
triotism and steadfastness, but lis mis-
fortune of modern daily journalism that
with broadened scope and vastly in
creased patronage the daily newspaper
loses touch with the individual reader.
By the wholesale methods of distribution
the Journal has on its books the names
OF about 5000 subscribers who receive
the papers in single wrappers directly
from the Office. This number is far larger
than the corresponding list of any other
Boston paper 1t is probable that it is
larger than the combined lists of all the
other Boston dailies, and yet it is but
little more than per cent Of the Journal
total circulation. To learn the names
and tastes of the buyers of the $4,000
papers circulated daily by agents and
newsboys the Journal has inaugurated
the first daily newspaper census ever
undertaken. A blank was published
with questions for the readers to answer
and the result promises to be of unusual
value.

Fatigue the Most Common Cause of
"Taking Cold"

Any one who is not in robust health
easily falls prey to illness, says DR..
Pheltshoe. OF all causes of "cold," prob
ably fatigue is one of the most common.
A jaded man coming home at night from
long days work, a growing youth
losing two hours sleep over evening
parties two or three times week, a
young lady heavily doing the season."
or young children overfed with short
allowance OF sleep, are common instances
of the victim of cold Luxury is favora-
BILE to chill-taking. Very hot rooms,
feather beds and sofa chairs create a
sensitiveness that leads to catarrh.
Probably many chills are contracted at
night or at the flag end Of the day, when
tired people get the equilibrium of their
circulation disturbed by either overheated
sitting-rooms or underheated bedrooms
and beds. This is specially the case with
elderly people. In such cases the mis-
chief is not always done instantaneously,
or in single night. 1t often takes place
insdiously extending over days or even
weeks.

How thrilling to recognize the power
OF thought and our share in it. When
first we come to realize that we have an
identity of our own we eagerly seek out
other peoples ideas and take them to
ourselves as part OF our mental and
spiritual outfit; but as years go by and
our individuality becomes more decided,
coyly at first ideas of our own force
themselves upon us, based upon other
ideas we have learned. Let us never
close our minds against these ideas origi-
mating within; for so long as humanity
lasts and so long as each human brain
differs from every other one new ideas
have right to life and there is no reason
why your idea and mine should not have
in it prevailing power However, to
know how ideas originate is to under.
stand all the mysteries of our minds-and
that understanding is not yet. We can
merely say that they are the evidence of
originality in a man; and that as far as
the ideas are new he is creator. | re-
peat again, how thrilling to have share
in the world of ideas and to be welding
ideas of our own with broad and useful
purpose. What we call public opinion
most mysterious and fantastic thing
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-04-23

The Scriptures tell us that no man
should think more highly of himself than
he ought to think, from which we may
certainly deduce that no man should
think less of himself than he ought to
think and that he should so venerate
himself as to associate his mind only
with ideas that have the benefit and gain
of the human race wrapped up in them.

desires to hoodwink the poor Northern

Bulletin being rather pro Southern men,
were arrested for spea ~ the truth when
truth was unwelcome to lankeedom, and

the state expenses under the peoples

Death OF Iteut.COI. Griffin.

Gen. Smiths impetuous division seems
singularly unfortunate. lie has lost
many gallant men, whose valor and worth
the siege has fully developed, and whose
death is great public calamity. Lieut.
Col. Griffin, commanding the 3lst Louis
lana regiment, was killed on Saturday.
He was a popular and efficient officer.
Gifted by nature with undaunted courage,
indominitable resolution and energy, he
was also possessed Of quick determine
ton, keen glance and GOODNESS in danger,
which are the most essential qualities of
an officer, while in his mingled frmness
and clemency of bis conduct, he won the
confidence and good will of his men.
May the soft south winds murmur sweet
requiems DER his remains, and the twi-
light dew fall gently like an angels tear
drop and moisten his turfy bed.

Gen. Couch had ordered that the place
be held.
The Notifications opposite this city are
finished, and are considered impregnabIe.
The rebels are known to be 5000 strong
at Hagerstown and Williamsport.
The rebels hold the north bank of the
Potomac river, from Cumberland to Har-
per's Ferry. Gen. Kelley drove them out
of Cumberland, and when they left they
threatened to return and furnish them
selves with horses and forage. The reb-
els have done an immense amount of
damage.
1t is thought Gen. Rhodes is opposite
Williamsport with 10000 men. The
rebel Gen. Imboden is reported as adj
yancing but this is considered doubtful.

Again we have reliable news from the
gallant corps of Gen. Lee in Virginia.

series of brilliant victories, marching to
and crossing the Rappahannoch, defeat

through the Shenandoah Valley, driving
Milroy from Winchester and capturing
5000 of his men and large amount OF
valuable stores of all descriptions, re en-
tering Maryland, holding Hagerstown,
threatening Washington City, and within
few miles of Baltimore-onward and
upward their war cry-our brave men un-
der Lee are striking terror to the hearts of
all Yankeedom. Like the Scottish Chief
ta1n's Braves, Lees men are springing up
from moor and brake, crag and dale, with
flashing steed and sturdy arm, ready to
do or die in the great cause of national
independence, right and honor. Today the
mongrel administration OF Lincoln, like
Japhet, are in search of a fatber-for
their old Abe has departed for parts un-
known. Terror reigns in their halls, Lee
is to the left OF them, the right OF them,
in front of them, and all around them /;
and daily do we expect to hear of his
being down on them. Never were the
French in Algeria more put out by the
mobile raids of Alb Del Kader than are
the Federals of Maryland, Washington
City, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, by the
mercureal movements of Lees cavalry.

If aught would appeal to the heart of
stone OF the extortioner with success, the
present necessities of our citizens would
do so. 1t is needless to attempt to dis,
guise from the enemy or our own people
that our wants are great, but still we can
conscientiously assert our belief that
there is plenty within our lines, by an
exercise of prudence, to last until long
after succor reaches US. We are satisfied
there are numerous persons within our
city who have breadstuffs secreted, and
are doing it out at the most exhorbitant
figures, to those who had not the foresight
or means at their command to provide
for the exigencies now upon us. A rum
or has reached US that parties in our city
have been, and are now, selling -four at

may induce some of our citizens to ascer.

We have heretofore RETAINED from al
luding to a matter which has been a
source OF extreme annoyance and loss to
our citizens. We refer to the lax disci-
pine of some of our company officers in
allowing their men to prowl around, day
and night and purloin fruit, vegetables,
chickens. ETC., from our denizens, and, in
the majority of cases, from those whose
chief subsistence is derived therefrom
This charge is not confined solely to those
at the works, but is equally, if not main.
ly attributable to the wsgoners and others
in charge Of animals. Several cases have
come to our knowledge wherein the
offenders have. in open daylight, entered
premises, seized cattle and other things,
and defed the owners to their teeth. We
are panied to learn that an esteemed citi-
zen of vicksburg. VIM. Porterfeld, was
