Curious Interests to Whose Advancement
Some of Them Arc Devoted.
Far In advance OF all other countries In the
growth. influence. and permanence OF trade pa
pers are the United States. but In respect to
such papers the American custom Is to limit
them to lines OF established business. A SINH
lar rule does not seem to prevail abroad. where
newspapers are published under circumstances
which may be said to have no parallel In the
United States. In England. for instance,
there are three newspapers wholly de-
voted to the laundry business and said
to Circulate among 10000 steam laun-
dries and private establishments. including
hotels and noblemen's laundries through
out the United Kingdom and colonies" There
are published in London what IL known as a
contract journal, n watchmakers' journal, a
remen's paper. three matrimonial papers, a
paper devoted to discoveries In the use OF the
microscope; a pawnbrokers' paper, two papers
Peace and the Arbitrator. a paper devoted
wholly to trademarks. three papers devoted to
sewing machines and their manufacture, ten
papers devoted to antiquities. an Astronomical
paper. a paper devoted to the interests OF cab
drivers. and q paper devoted to the agitation

In Germany there is a Rhine wine paper, and
In Bohemia a paper wholly devoted to lotteries.
tation for q more serious observance Of Sun
day IN Hungarian cities; In France there are
HuDlbncu u newspaper ueNOLcu 10 insurance In
French companies. and another called the Coal
Ift devoted to the interests OF coal miners. In
Holland there Is published q newspaper de-
voted to the interests of Amsterdam bond
holders. and In Norway a paper is devoted to
the agitation OF the question Of securing more
favorable treatment In foreign Custom Houses
OF Norwegian fish exports.
One explanation OF the number of foreign
newspapers devoted to isolated interests Is 10
be found in the fact that some such newspapers
are not self-supportinH. They are subsidized
by those whose prejudlces. caprices or personal
interests they serve. Many political news
papers In Europe are In like manner main
talned from funds established for purposes
OF agitation. Again. the rate OF advertising
In newspapers Is. generally speaking. higher
abroad, than It s in American. papers and is
certainly much higher when taken in connec-
tion with the more limited circulation OF such
journals, The proportion OF advertisements
70 reading matter is, larger In. Continental
European papers than In those published in the
United States, and the opportunities of pub
fishers to make profit under a limited clrcula-
ton are. OF course, greater. Moreover, the
standard Of journalism In Europe, generally
speaking. IL not so high as IN the United States.

II Gen. Lakes original plan had been carried
out II Is more than probable that tho rebels
would have been entirely surrounded, and
since conditional COMPILATIONS were not among
the possibilities OF this savage war, q general
massacre would certainly have resulted.
Luckily several unforeseen circumstances pre-
vented so horrible a consummation One Of
these was the delay caused in the advance OF
Gen. Johnson's division by the valiant and
stubborn defence OF Enniscorthy town; an
other was the non-annearance on the southern
ascent of Gen. Needham's division: finally
there was the arrival at the close OF the battle
of Edward Roche with a large body OF pikemen
belonRingt to the southern army.
We will deal with each Of these incidents In
its turn. Gen. JohnSon's attack. as we have
said. encountered the most determined resist
ance from the insurgents under Barker and
Father Kearns. The former had served in the
French Army and had made his plans with
consummate skill. His only piece OF cannon
he placed on tho bridge. with u reserve force /:
his main body. pikemen in the centre and
gunSmen on both TANKS. he stationed near the
Duffrey gate. When forced to withdraw after
d. sanRuinary struggle he held the enemy in
check in the streets, capturing one Of their
cannon In front of the Court House, and he re-
treated to the bridge only when overwhelmed
by numbers. This stubborn resistance for a
moment unnerved the assailants. and the
light infantry actually refused to charge across
the bridge. The bridge was not taken until the
Dublin regiment arrived on the scene. Both
Barker and Kearns were severely wounded
during this contest, the most obstinate among
the many separate encounters that marked the
days events.
More fortunate for the insurgents than even
