[newspaper clipping] THE LITERARY NEWS. 15 [picture of New England Scenery] [text beneath is FROM "ON WINDS OF FANCY BROWN." Copyright, 1895, by Lee & Shepard NEW ENGLAND SCENERY [two columns] atic theories. (Houghton, Miffin & Co. N. Y. Tribute.

The Laureates. The Boston Public Library contains but one look devoted exclusively to the English laureates, and that one is, to us, incomplete, as its publication. In 1853, ends the long list with Wordsworth, to the exclusion of Tennyson.

Now Tennyson is dead, and this just ended period of the "vacant chair" in official English verse made a most fitting point to stop, turn back, and review the works and lives of all those men who with varying degrees of success have occupied the most conspicuous position of poet laureteship in England.

Right in the height of this particular literay interest and research comes Kenyon West's new book, "The Lauretes of England" from Ben Jonson to Alfred Tennyson, a conise, well-planned, well-executed work, with an introduction explaining the origin and history of the laureateship as a court office, biographical notes and style-criticisms of the fourteen poets, with a generoua number of extracts from their works, full-page portraits, and numerous text illustrations.

Those full-page portraits! What a host of unfamilar faces! could any one at random give half the names of England's laureates? Here is the list with the dated of office: Ben Jonson, 1616-1627. Sir William Davenant 1637-1668. John Dryden, 1670-1689. Thomas Shadwell, 1689-1692. Nahum Tate, 1692-1715 Nicholas Rowe, 1715-1718. Lawrence Rusden, 1718-1730, Colley Cibber, 1730-1757. William Whitehead, 1757-1785. Thomas Warton, 1785-1790. Henry James Pye, 1790-1813. Robert Southey, 1813-1813. William Wordsworth, 1843-1850. Alfred Tennsyson, 1850-1892.

[second column] Kenyon West has scarcely chosen to show these poets only in their official capacity, but rather in general poems more representative of their authors' genius. Those extracts from some of the earlier laureates are of moral necessity short and scattered, but southey has thirty pages, Wordsworth one hundted and sixty, and Tennyson one hundred and ten. this leaves one hundred, and sixty pages for all those others back to "Rare Ben Jonson."

Altogether this is a book, a course of study, invaluable to all students of English literature, and should prove a most useful addition to every private of public library. (Stokes. $1.50) - Boston Literary World.

Idyllists of the County Side. MR. GEORGE H. ELLWANGER has secured many friends by his faculty of agreeable observation and his vein of delightful sentiment. Under the title of "Idyllists of the Country Side." Mr. Ellwanger has published a little volume of essays devoted to out-of-door writings of Walton, Gilbert White, Thomas Hardy, Jefferies, Thoreau, and Burroughs. The title, it may be said in passing, is not quite accurate, the only idyllist, in any exact sense of the word, in this group being Jefferies. This, however, is a small matter; the chief concern of the reader is to know that Mr. Ellwanger has made a very-charming book our of very charming material. He is worshipper of nature and a lover of those who have written about nature. It is, therefore, not a critical comment which he has prepared, but an appreciation ful of sympathy, insighe, and affection. One of the chapters which will awaken most interest in this volume is that on "The Landscape of Thamsa Hardy," a very charming bit of literary study. Mr. Ellwanger's "In Gold and silver" and "Story of My House" should also be read by all. (Dodd, Mead & Co. $1.25. -Independent.

67 [newpaper article] THE PROHIBITION CONTEST The Broad Views of a Sincere Prohibitionist - Action of Mercersburg Ministerial Association, &c Mr. Editor: - I feel like writing a few lines, with your permission, on what I conceive to be some of the follies of the Prohibitionists, or rather, of the follies of some of the Prohibitions. I am heartily in favor of any an all practical though am not over sanguine on this question of prohibition, but would rejoice to see it carried by a large majority. But I fear if it is killed it will be slaughtered in the house of its friends.

This quetion has been referred by our State Legislature to the people for their consideration and decision of the polls, but no sooner is the contest opened than up springs the bulldozer into the arena, clad in the armor of proscription and intolerance, and at once essays to assume command, and any one who may entertain doubt of the wisdom of this measure ot dares to express it he is at once denounced as a friend of liquor, an aider and abettor of drunkard makers and murderers, and in unholy alliance with the saloons.

Mr. Editor, we want votes. Is this a good way to get them?

Again, many of our leaders embrace every opportunity to pitch into and cry down the Brook's law. Is this wise? That law was carried through by the efforts of good men against the whole power of the saloon element. It is the best law on the subject we have ever had, and has done much good. Prohibition may do better, but should we all fail to get prohibition what have we to fall back on but the Brook's law? Is it the part of wisdom to it odious and unpopular and thus impair its efficiency? Will this procure us any votes? It seems to me like folly. votes are what we want.

Again, some of our friends take special delight in proclaiming in advance that "if prohibition fails, this fight will just have commenced." "We were all clamorous for submission but if we lose we won't submit," Headswe win; tails you lose. One committee in Philadelphia say that if prohibition loses, they will teach the old parties that they must bow to the will of people. Pray, Mr. Editor, who are the people? Does not this point clearly to a third party, and could they raise any point better calculated to lose us votes? What we want is votes.

Once more - and this may be a great piece of temerity on my part. But to me it seems a a great mistake to attempt to make this a question of the church, and I think the effort to do so partakes neither of the "wisdon of the serpent or the harmlessness of the dove." I think this is already made probable by the unseemly attitude in which many of the clergymen are placing themselves before the public, and their using terms and language towards each other which, if not discreditable and derogatory, are at leat neither elevating or magnifying are at least neither elevating or magnifying to their high calling. Why, Mr. Editor, from the way ome men write and talk one might think this matter had been referred to the churches, whereas it has been referred to Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant, Christian and Infidel, Drunkars and Temperance men - to be decided at the polls. And those who attempt to make it a scriptural question are as far wrong (in my judgement- as is the Revl Cort, when he tries to make it unscriptural. it seems to me, Mr. Editor, that on this question some men would "rush on grounds that angels might fear to tread on."

This is not a quesiton of theology, or of christianity, or of religion, or of the church, or of the Bible. And might not the attempt to make ir so be in disguise, a wile of the evil one to lure the clergy on to untenable ground, and then when they are beaten, heap odium and contumely upon them. Mr. Editor, I think I have a high regard for the clergy as a class, and all due reverence for their high and holy calling as ministers of the everlasting Gospel. But while I concede their right as citizens and voters to take part in outside questions at the polls, and that it is often their duty to do so, yet I dispute their right as preachers and pastors to drag their clerical and sacerdotal robes down along with them. let them so go down if they see fit, but let them go down and meet such questions as man meets man.

This, Mr. Editor, is a question of the civil government - a question of State policy. It is essentially a politica l question (although not now a party one), and their fibre of our institutions and into the sentiments of the people than oppostition to anything that smacks of a union of Dhurch and State. Mr. Editor, we want votes. A FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE.

68 [newspaper clippings - three columns - includes seven articles] [first column] [first article] APPOINTMENT OF J. D. McFARLAND LAND COMMISSIONER. Other Changes in the Department. It is with pleasure to us and satisfaction to his many friends and acquaintances, that the announcement is made public of the appointment of our towns-mand, J. D. McFarland, to the influential and responsible position of Land Commissioner of the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad Company in Nebraska.

Mr. McFarland has been connected with the Land Department of the B. & M. for the past eight years, and has held the position of Assistant Land Commissioner for several years past.

It is a just and fitting acknowledgement of Mr. McFarland's abilities, that the charge of the Land Department is placed in his hands. He is the right man in the right place.

Mr. J. D. McFarland, who has been elected to the presidency of the First National bank, is well known all over Nebraska as a solid, conservative and unusually succesful business man. He has been for many years in the service of the land department of the Burlington, by sheer ability and force of character rising from a clerkship to the responsible position of land commissioner of the road since coming to Lincoln less than twenty years ago. Thousands of farmers who are now well to do were piloted by him to the rich lands of the south Platte country when the entered the state as moneyless homeseekers, and in consequence he has firm friends among the farmers in every country in Nebraska south of the Platte river. The books of his deparment have been practically closed, and the people of Lincoln are glad to know that the energy once given to the splendid work of the B. & M. land department in settling Nebraska and making it known to the world will be turned to the management of one of our foremost institutions, the First National bank. 1890

The decorations in the back parlor where the service was said were uniquie. They were almost entirely of green sent from Florida by Mr. Schnebly, a friend of the bridegroom. The place where the bridal party stood was profusely dressed with holly, a line of green roping being strung around the arch in graceful festoons. The lights in the room were shaded with soft pink.

The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Rumer. The bride looked beautiful in white, her gown being white mousseline de sole with trimmings of satin ribbon. The bouquet she carried was of white roses fringed with lily of the valley and maiden hair fern. Her sister, Miss Louise Brown, dressed in light blue silk, attended her. Wofford Brown, brother of the bride, was best man. The bridal party entered to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march played by a cousin of the bride, Miss Ciara T. Deming.

Mr. and Mrs. McFarland left last night for eastern cities. Their future home will be at the old MacFarland homestead, Mt. Delight, near Mercerburg, Pa.

The marriage certificate was signed by all present, the custon being a very old one in the family. Many beautiful and valuable gifts were received.

THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER Peking Gazette Was Started Twelve Hundred Years Ago. The oldest newspaper in the world in the Ching Pao, or Offical Gazetter of China. Its exact age is not known, but the first reference to it in Chinese history is found in the records of the reign of K'al-Yuan, of the T'ang Dynasty, A. D. 718-41. It had undoubtedly existed for some time previous to this date and has been published regualrly ever since.

The Ching Pao is a sort of Court Circular, containing also offical decrees and royal containing also official decrees and royal proclamations. It appears from several proclamations.

THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER Peking Gazette Was Started Twelve Hundred Years Ago. The oldest newspaper in the world is the Ching Pao, or Official Gazette, of China. Its exact age is not know, but the first reference to it in Chinese history is found in the records of the reign of K'ai-Yuan, of the T'ang Dynasty. A. D. 718-41. It had undoubtedly existed for some time previous to this date and has been published regularly ever since.

The Ching Pao is a sort of Court Circular, containing also official decress and royal proclamations. It appears from several offices under several different names, owing to the right of certain persons to copy and sell it. There is also a manuscript copy, issued to subscribers one day earlier than the regular edition.

This remarkable newspaper, in all its editions, is as different from modern American dalies as could well be. Its 30 or 40 pages are only three to six inches wide and about eight inches deep. It has no advertisements, no pictures and no heading. The lines run from top to bottom, and the front is where our back is. The pages have a wide margin at the top and bottom, but none on the sides. The curious and very wonderful Chinese characters seem to be as perfect in the copy that was written by hand as in the printed editions, and one marvels how one man could produce a single number in a week, much less a single night. There are many thousand different Chinese characters, for it is a modification of an ancient picture writing somewhat like the bieroglyphics of the Egyptians, so that learnng one' A. B. C.'s in China is a matter of years of study.

In Chinese writing, as in English, there is a printed kind of type letter and a flowing script for rapid writing, but the two kinds look to an American like two distinct systems, each one of which would fill a book. It is notable that the manuscript edition of the Ching Pao is not in the quicker flowing script, but in the printed form, with its inticate crossing lines of definite length, place an curve.

The printed copies of the oldest newspaper are bound in a near paper cover and stitched with tissue-paper thread, which is thin as tissue, but so tough that when twisted into a thin twine a wisp of it will hold a man's weight.

Underground River. From the Pittsburg Post The government geological survey is now measuring the rate of the underflow of rivers. The Arkansas river in western Kansas flows for a distance underground, and the corps has used an electrical device to find the velocity of the subterranean current. A row of wells is driven across the channel at regular intervals. An electolyte is sunk in one of the upper wells and allowed to dissove. As the solution passes down to the other. As the solution passes down to the other wells a needle of an electrical instrument is deflected. This it is shown that the Arkansas flows two and one-half feet a day underground. The time may come when the government survey will investigate that dream river of Coleridge, who sang:

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome-decree, Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea.

What instruction have you had in religious knowledge? A. None. Q. By whom was it given? A. By the vicar. The thing might have been expressed more logically, but not much more clearly.
