The drat paper-mill in tile United
States was established in Germantown,
Pa., in 1690. The first paper company
in Massachusetts was granted a patent
in 1728. The mill was started in Mil
ford in 1730. It was run with varied
success for some years, and then ceased

Among his popular compositions are
"Mollie Darling,” “ Nor ah O’Neal” and
‘‘Evangeline.” But he got no money
.*from the latter, though it gave him a
start in his business. “ Just before the
war,” he says, “ I was with some young

Mr. Cheney, a farmer of Indiana, hav-
og a married daughter living in Ne
braska, was shocked by a telegram from
her husband saying that her body would
arrive the neit evening. The family
was overcome with ^the sudden blow.
Hurried preparations for mourning gar
ments and the preliminaries to the fune
ral were made, and, on the dismal even
ing, dressed all "in black, they went to
the station to meet the corpse. The
hearse and two or three carriages were
drawn up in line, and a numerous crowd,
attracted partly by curiosity, partly by
sympathy, accompanied the bereavtd
household. As the train approached a
solemn silence settled upon the assem-

»j>ectful hush until the ceremony of » re

The Santa Fe Neva Mexican gives the

Fat Garrett, of Lincoln county, New
Me»eo: - Garrett was informed of the

county, and arrived at Stunner in search
of the outlaw after nightfall. At about
midnight he went to the house of Peat
Maxwell, accompanied by two men
named John W. Poe and T. M. McKinny,
whom he had brought from home with
him, The two men were told to stand
cm guard at the gate, while Garrett went
on and entered the room of Mr. Maxwell.
The latter was in bed at the time, and
Garrett quickly informed him of the
object of his visit Ha had scarcely
done so when in walked “ Billy the

True domestic happiness exists in Ohi-

those that are able to work on the farm,
and if more labor is required the strang

well, drees plainly, and are industrious,

Queen Elisabeth knighted him and gave
him a*monopoly of gathering rags in the
kingdom for tea yean. The real value
of paper-making liegan to be best appre
ciated when the art of printing was dis
covered in the fifteenth century. Hod
printing been discovered earlier there
would have been little use for it, as
neither the bark nor straw paper of the
Chinese, the papyrus of tLo Egyptians,
nor the parchment of the Greeks would
have been sufficiently plentiful for the
demands of the printing press. Ger
many, using cotton, flax and mgs, and
her water and wind power for their re
duction to pulp and fiber, was ready for
the printer and his press, and these
made possible the Reformation.
The rag engine, by which the raw ma-

invention lees than 200 yqars «dd. As

workmen, rags were reduced to’flulp by

and skirmished with the rebel pickets,
keeping them Lack until Gen. Strong
got the body into the ambulance. They
drove back with all speed to where Gen.

Mr. William North, a quarter of a
century ago a New York journalist of
repute, was asked to write an “editorial ”
calculated to inflict damage on coercive
teetotalism. He was promised $20 for a
suitable article. “How long shall it
be?” inquired North. “As long or
short as you please,” was the reply;
“quality, not quantity, is the object.”
Thereupon North indited this powerful
article:
We had rather see the whole world get
drunk of its own free will than one man kept
■obir by compulsion.
This sentonce waa printed as s leader
; in the journal which had retained Mr.
North, and hewae rewarded for his work
at the rate of a dollar a word—undoubt
edly the highest price ever paid for a
newspaper editorial. Whatever may be
thought of the soundness of his argu
ment, it had s very unusual merit in the
prohibition controversy—brevity.
