Tale, iv, Cho.), “But let time's news ve brought (K, Joun), “Even at that news he dies” ais list, Which might be extended indefinitely, from Shakespeare and oiher old writers, would alone be suffictent to dispose of the north-east-west-south theory; but a reference to the equivaient words in the tongues to which Engilsh 18 most nearly aliied wii further show Its fauacy. In German tue Jnitials of the points Of the coinpass read in Unis order: N. O. W. 8, while tue word for news |S neuigkeiten, ObvI- ously inpossible of derivation from these four jet ters, whild?it ts derived from the word for new. Again, in Frenco, tue taitials are N. E. O. 8, whtle Ue Word for news 1s nouvelles, Once more simply ‘the plural form of new. The true derivation does not seem difficult to trace. Some take it directly from the German das Neue, which 1s an abstract noun signif; in; “the new,” and equivalent to our news, The gen: Uve is newes, and the phrase, “Was giebts neues? renders Ube exact sense ot our “What's the news?” Morcover, the o:d Geripan spelling 18 new, genitive newes. Yet this, plasible as it looks, iy not tue origin of the word. When we find in Aglo-Saxon Such A pitase as huwt niwes? (what Lews?) We cab be at no loss to determine Uhal the word is of pure Low German or native English origin, al- though the French nouvelies may bave influenced Misuse. The fact Wat the word Is often used in the singular confirms this. Thus we have in John Florio's “World of Words” (1598), ‘Novella, a tale, a newes.” In the “Wit’s hec™ reation,” puulished In 1640, we have the following epigran “When news doth come, if any would discuss The letter of the word, resolve It thus: Aeiovis conveyed by letter, word or mouth, And comes: wus from North, East, West and nee The little corps of the newspaper fraternity Were then beginning work in England, and, being Uckled by the above epigram, nad iv’ put'at the head of their papers, as already stated. Skeal says that newes is not older than 1500, aud cite# Berner's Utransiation of Froissart: “ue- Syrous Lo hear ner und Surrey’s trausiation of “What news he broughi.” Bul at least one earlier instance ts to be found In Ube “Slege of Rhodes,” translated by Jobn Kay, and printed by ‘Caxtou about 1490, ee A Laconic Preacher, From the Youth's Companion. in 1768, the Baptist church of Halestown, now: Weare, N.

The brevity of some of his sermons—they ‘Were Dot more than etgit mloutesin lengtu—made bin a notable preacher in au age When ministers discoursed for an hour, and even ioncer. Once be- ing calied upon to iead in prayer at a public meet- ing, he fell on his kKuees and sald: “O Lord, Leach us Lo feel Lhe need of thy grace and to seek it; to Know tuy wiil and to duit; vo Mud our place and to keep it) Amen.” The Uistorian Of Weare telis this anecdote of the laconic miuister’s Wit: A young minister being in a company Where several clergy men were present, So engrossed the conversation that all (eared Uhal his volubiity was lmitiess.

From the Philadelphia Press. “Tue account in last Sunday’s Press of the ex- Ploits of prize Nghters as knights errant,” said a well-knowa clergyman, who didn’t want his name Mentioned lest he might be suspected of too great famillarity with such subjects, “reminded me of astory which Capt. Ben Fairchlid, of the New York city police force, used to vouch for twenty. five years ago, A Irieud of the captain—a very proper sort of person, whom we ‘will call Mr Good—had conceived” an intense. horror of prize nghters in general, and of John Morrissey in par- Ucular. Mr, Good, one day while (ravellng up the Ene ri dropped into a conversation with & genliemaniy stranger of herculean frame Who occupied the seat next to him, When tue train arrived at Turner's the depot was seen to be in the complete possession of a mob of roughs and stalwart lumbermen, Who bad taken possession of the lunch room and terrorized everybody in the place, Mr. Good was huvgry, and he and his un- known cotapanion left the traia to get something Wweat. Mr. Good pushed his way througu the crowd, abd ordered an oyster stew irom the waiter. “The proprietor demurred, on the ground that the roughs wou.d not permit auy One else Lo be Served but their own party. “Oh, give my (rieud on oyster stew,’ spoke up the unknown Hercules. ‘1 guess there'll be no trouble.’ “The stew was no sooner served than a horny hand reached over Mr. Good’s shoul der and tipped his stew upon the tloot, ‘Suppose you give me an oyester stew,” said the Hercules quieuly, with & defant glance at tne burly six-footer Who bad spoiled Mr. Good’s lunch, Another stew was served, and it Was as promptly Upped over by the same hand, while We mod of Troughs laughed uprouriously, But tue Hercules, like ap avenging thunderbolt, had leaped from bis stool, aud the lausi died away as he went right Unrotigh that crowd, striking out rizut and ett uote ad cut a broad sWath to the doorway. Waen tue cyclone was over five roughs Qyd to be picked up Out of the remains of milk stews on the floor, and all ne rest had escaped, Then the Hercuies sinootued down his cuffsy r-- stiued Mis stoul aud remarked a5 quietly as ever, ‘dust let me have another slew, pleuse, abd a [resi one for my friend,” “Mr. Good looked at his companion in awe as he ejaculated: “Excuse tne, sir, but Who are you, any- The Hercules redched tuto his vest pocket card bearing the name “Jou Mor- rissey, New York.’ ‘The stews were eaten In peace, and Mr, Good afterward sald to Capt. Fairchild, 43 he descrived the encounter: ‘Well, they Say a yuod many hard things about John Mdirissey, but he's @ mighty good man to travei with.” ee eee Poverty and Riches, BRAVE YOUNG HEARTS THAT PERISH WITH THE LIGHT OF HOPE STILL BURNING. From the New Orleans Picayune. ‘Solon’s dictum that no man should be accounted happy until after bis death may be recalled by a pensive philosopher now and then while inwardly couning the zjong Uist of the old citizens ot New Orieaps who have survived their wealth, How often does one meet upon the streets of this ciiy @ray-headed men who once were princely mer- chants of lordly planters and now ure compelled to struggle hard for a scanty support? Ata spectacle like that one may query whether such a man 13 more to be pitied than be who has hever tasted the sweets of good torvune, but all his life long has tolled hard at the car against an adverse Ude. “Use,” sald Shakespeare, “doth breed a habit in a man,” and it might. be argued that he wuo has never ‘known prosperity, having become hardened to poverty, cannot suffer as Le does who has falien from a” high estate, But to argue thus Would be to ignore the numerous dis. appolntinents that enter into every poor man’s Ure, In this country it is especially dimeult to setUle down to “hard commons.” ‘There seems to he before us so much opportunity for enter ~~ and we are surrounded by so many examples ol brilliant success, tuat even the poorest: most obscure have their alluring day dreams of riches and fame. ‘This is particularly true of the young.

Tuts claim ts based upon certain Ormly-establisned facts Which are wel worthy ‘the consideration of all persons interested tn com municating with the public in regand to any busle ‘Ress Proposition whatever, It rests primartiy om ‘the broad and solia foundation ‘hat Tw Sram cir. culates tn the city where printed a langer number ©f coptes in proportion 10 population than any Paper in the world. And not only ts its circulation ‘the largest and fuliest, Dut 1 ts also the (BEST, since ‘the paper goes not alone into the hands of the people of the District of Columbia asa vody, but into their homes —into the families of all classeg, ‘and into those of the Money-spending as weil as the money-earning portion of the community,—tm alarger ratio than any daily journai of genera circulation that can be named. By reason of tue fullness, freshness, and reliability of its news local, domestic, and foreign, its independent and fair treatment of ail public questions, its intell- gent and effective devotion to local interests, and its close attention to matters witn which the household, and especially Its lady members are concerned, Tum Stam is everywhere recognized and admitted to be, in every quailty, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike fn the counting-room, the Work-sbop, and Lad family circle, , In support of these stabements attention ts! a Vited to the tables below. They notonly show the circulation and advertising patronage of the paper for the several years named, but, by the remarka- ble increase shown tn both departments ineach month ovew? the corresponding month in the prov vious year, they also Mlustrate, the most for. cible manner possible, the esteem in which the Paper is_held tn the city of its home, and by those Who are best able to judge of its merits as a news Paper and its value as an advertising medium These arethe figures referred to, with which a ‘Comparison ts challenged: DAILY CIRCULATION IX 1885-86-87, I5S3.

Of the total circulation given above, the booksot (he establishment show that an average of 17,6233 copies were regularly delivered each day by car- Hers at the homes of permanent subscribers withia the city. Of the remainder a daily average ot 6,421 copies were sold at the office, in the hotels and railway stations, &c., and on the streets, by newsboys, making a grand total average withia the city Of 24,046 copies dally, and leaving an average of 1,438 copies to be sent to regular sub. scribers beyond the District lines by mail, express, and railway trains. ‘In addition to the large and constantly increas ‘ng fixed subscription list above referred to, it may ‘be said that of the 6,421 copies sold within its lim {tsa larger proportion are bought by permanent residents of the city, living in lodgings, &c., not ousehoiders, while the residue goes into the hands of transient visitors, from all parts of the country, ‘who each year come to the National Capital ta greater numbers and for longer periods, and wha, furthermore, largely represent the well-to-do and purchasing portions of the communities to which ‘Wey respectively belong.
