GOV. DUNUEN 11.-1 K U
SKATTLE, Wii. Speaking nt n
dinner tenderod him lubt nif,'lit E1
f,'iir JL Kobiiisou, international sec
retary of the boys' work depnrtment
of tlio Y. Jf. C. A., doclnred that in
all his oxporienco with boyu ho had
iiover found a thoroughly bnd boy,
"For twenty yonrs I have been look
ing for n bad boy, but havo yet to
find .linn," bo said. "I cni$ say
s much for tho men however,"
ism since this pioneer of newspapers appeared.
How much better they made white paper in those days
is shown by tiie remarkable state ot preservation ot this
issue. A paper of today exposed to the air a few months
becomes discolored. In n fe.w years, the ink begins tq
fade. But tho ink in the New England Journal of 1S3
years ago is as black today as the day printed. In typo
graphical appearance the paper is far neater than its
descendants, while no more perfect type is produced by the
mechanical marvels of the twentieth century than 'that
used in early colonial days.
One of the confusing characteristics to the modern eye
is the frequent use of the old stylo letter s made to re
semble an f. The paper in a simple sheet of two wide col
uinns on each page, the size of each page being S by 12 V
inches. "Containing the most Remarkable Occurrences
Foreign and Domcstick."
The publisher evidently had plans for expansion and
improvement as the following announcement appears:
"There are Measures concerting for rendering this Paper
yet more universally esteemed and useful, in which 'tis
hop'd the Publick will be gratifi'd, and by which those
Gentlemen who desire to be improv'd in History, Philos
ophy, Poetry, &e. will be greatly advantaged. We take
the liberty at this time to insert the following Passage of
Ilistorv."
As the passage has well nigh been forgotten it can be
read with profit today. However it fails o give the names
of the principals. An Oxford scholar fell in love with a
poor inn-keeper's daughter, married her and thereby lost
his sole means of support, his scholarship. Soon after the,
inn-keeper died, leaving nothing but debts, and the "stu
dent and Ins young Wife turned out of Doors to cat the
Bread of Providence, where they could find it. . . .
The Man could only waste his Hours between Books and
Sighs, while the Partner of his Sorrows made hard Shift
to pick up a Support by Knitting Stockings, at a certain
poor Price for every Pair. . . . But sitting constantly
together from Morning to Night, the Scholar often fixed
his Eyes with stedfast Observation on the Motion of his
Wife's Fingers, the dextrous Management of her Needles,
He took it into his Imagination, that it was not impossible
to contrive a little Loom, which might do .the Work with
much more Expedition. This Thought he communicated
to his "Wife, and join'd his Head to her Hands, the En
deavour succeeded to their Wish; and thus the ingenious
Stocking-Loom which is so common now, was first in
vented, by which he did not only make himself and his
Family happy, but has left a Nation indebted to him for a
Uencfit."
Then follows the news of the world, the declaration of
the captain-general to his council and their reply, couched
in the verbose ceremonial etiquette of King George's day.
There is a London dispatch dated October 28 where it is
set forth that doctors had the "Honour to Kiss the Hands
of their Majesties," followed by routine court matters.
Other dispatches follow, the most interesting describe the
corn riots and is dated at Falmouth, Novcmb. lb' as fol
lows: "Some days past, about 500 Tinners went to Padstow
and took from thence what Corn they could find designed
for Exportation, and last Thursday "and Friday they did
the same at Gweege. On Tuesday about 1000 came here
& took away what they could get On Wednesday, to our
great surprise about 300 more, most on Horses, came
hither armed with Clubs: they filled our Streets and eryed
aloud, We come for Corn, and Corn we will have; adding,
the Merchants have no Commission from the King to
send it to their Enemies. The Commander of our Com
pany of Invalids joyn'd with the Merchants, made them
retreat, but could not force them out of the Town till they
had searched all the Warehouses; they took from hence,
and in the Neighborhood about 2000 Bushels of Salt &.
The Proclamation was read to them befdrc they dispersed,
that had they been fired upon, as some advised, they would
have laid the Town in Ashes.
o-iiuj nmu JLJ.WUI tin; ajiiuuu lilim lllills VJlitlll in u
very dear everywhere, that it is almost next akin to a
Famine; and that in some Places the Farmers, being
threatened by the Women to have their Sacks cut if they
held it at so high a Price, had occasioned some Abate
ment; but the labouring People being sick in great Num
bers, so little Corn was brought to Market, that it is risen
to 7s Gd a Bushel."
We arc informed that ".Burials in the Town of Boston
since our last, Five Whites, One Black. Baptiz'd in the
several Churches, Nine." Then follows a list of marine
liitormation and the advertisements, mostly of books the
printer has on the press or for sale, most of them sermons
or church books. Among the ads are the following, prob
ably the original want ads:
"Choice New Coffee to be Sold by Arthur Savage at
his House in Brattle-Street Boston for Eight Shillings per
Pound."
"A very Likely Negro Woman who can do IToushold
Work and is fit either for Town or Country Service, about
n years ol Age, to bo Sold, Inquire ol the Printer hereof."
"A very Likely Negro Girl, about 13 or 14 Years of
Age, speaks good English, has been in the Country somo
Years, to bo Sold. Inquire of the Printer hereof."
All of which shows that the enterprise of the printer
was looked to to supply labor two centuries ago as it is
now.
It is doubtful if a single issue of our papers of today
contain anything more interesting, in spite of their size,
than this little news dodger of early colonial days,

COMMUNICATION.
TA11LK ItOCIC, Ore , Oct. 16. edi
tor Mali Tribune: I nollco In tho
Mall Tribune of October 13 that n
certain "gentleman" who sign his
naino ".Medford lleslilont" ban very
serious objections to tho sentiments
ot our communication in tho Mall
Tribune of October 12. We wroto
tho nrtlele In all candor and ntter duo
consideration, believing that wo were
right nndright, and until we are con
vinced otherwlso we will defend our
position to tho Inst ditch. Tho Ken
tleman udmitn that ho Is n recent
arrival which partly explains his po
sition as therefore he cannot bo fa
mallar with conditions here. Ho per
sistu In quoting us ns using tho word
"foreigner" In Its broadest sense, n
word we did not ueo. and Is careful
not to use tho word "Mongolian"
which wo used. ' lls calls us "uu
chrlfltlnn" and wonders It wo aro a
natlvo of tho "land' of tho free, and
the home of tho brave."
Whether 'wo are Christian or ag
nostic Is of llttlo concern to the peo
ple or this valley, but wo don't wish
to follow Kaaus euoiplo and rcII out
an American birthright. Wu are
bravo enough to stand for American-
Ism and wo are freo enough to sign
our full nnmo under what wo write
and not go bushwhacking around un
der a cheap nom do plumo, hiding
behind several thousand people, lie
doesn't wnnt the S. 1. railway to
have tho business of bringing vege
tables Into this valley and ugaln he
wants to kIvo them moro business
taking them out. JIo Is like tho
follow who cut off tho top of his
blnnkct and sewed U onto the bot
tom to mnko It longer.
Tho statement in regard to tho
enormous amount of vegetables
brought Into Medford may io truo,
but It Is misleading. They aro near
ly all broueht hero at a season of
tho year when It Is Impossible to
grow them In tho open air In IIiIh
valloy.
Wo welcome tho respoetnblo In
habitant of western Kurnpn becnuse
ho usually makes n good citizen and
soon becomes Americanized.
Our critic says: "Why not mako an
effort to get peoplo Into this volley
who aro progre?Blvo?"
If tho Mongolia! .charnctor Is the
American standard of progress then
may tho Lord holp'Tjifl.
What this valley needs Is peoplo
who will como for tho purpose of
building homes and peoplo who can
como ns tho equals of tho people al
ready here. This valley does not
need people, ho tliey blnck, yollow or
whito, whoso object Is to Jump In,
grab n handful and Jump out again.
Anionic other objections to the
Mongolian gardener Is tho fact that
ho uses as a rule a class of fertil
izers that propagates typhoid and
spinal menlngltlH and It is very dnn
gorous to llvo on llio'tcourna of drain
age from IiIh K.'inlens. Wo havo no
uiiuinj prujuuirc townru mo irifuiius
hut wo full to H"t why they should
bo Invited to supplant our own peo
ple -In a grout Industry that bolongs
to thorn, nor can 'wo bollovo that
ovqu tho peoplo oft .Medford would
rather oat Mongolian than American
grown vegetables. Respectfully yours,
