i Newspapers. j
The following statements : are taken from; an
interesting article in a late number of the uNew
York Times," oa. "American Newspapers :'f
There are about 5.319 newspapers in the United
States. I Of these about 550 are dailies, and of
these dailies 32 are in New York City. Seven
of these!32 print about 112,000,000 sheets every
year. The other 25 print 110,000.000. The
capital invested in newspapers is about 96,000,
000, employing 11,000 editors and 23.000 prin
ters. ' North Carolina prints fewer newspt piers
for its inhabitants than any other State. Ite 57
papers supply one fori every 17,415 persons.
Kansas prints most, viz j: one for every 1,702 in
habitants. The largest weekly newspaper,wheh
also has the largest patronage from : advertisers,
is a Religious paper, jit has -281. competitors.
Fourteen of these religious papers have a circu
lation of j over 20,000 each. The Jlcthodfets
and Presbyterians, print the most of them i jh
proportion to their numbers. ' There are about
101 papers devoted to the interests of Agricul
ture. Tjwq of these-relate exclusively to bqes.
The sixty'-two periodicals discuss matters of-edu-
uuiiuu aiuiusb exclusively. . Aimougn iney cir
culate 1400,000 copies the most of them are
very weak intellectually and the wonder, is tlat
they live' at all. There are 157 devoted to Cqm
merca and Manufactures; 33 for Science and
Mechanics j 26 for Musie; 10 for sporting
characters, and six support "Woman's Right!,"
but are not themselves ! well supported. Flee
Masonry has 22 representatives; Odd Fellow
ship 11 and Total-abstinence 40. : There are
253 newspapers printed in the German languajr e.
id Canada and the United States there are 48
papers for- Frenchmen, of which Jhe two dailies
inNew ork City contrast not unfavorably with
the issueja in Paris and Brussels. The Seanai
varians have come to usj in such numbers that
now they support 15 papers in their own tongae
We have four Italian newspapers, ten Spanish,
three Welsh, two Bohemian, and. in San Fran
cisco, one in Russian and English, and one in
English and Chinese. Rochester iu New York,
which was named after ; Samuel Rochester, who
once lived at Chapel Uill iu this State, has cul
tivated Newspapers more successfully . than any
other town of equal size and population- in okir
country, j; The seven grafc dailies of New York
City, known as "The j New York Associated
Press," are the "great fountains of news for the
rest of the country. Their incomes from adver
tisements amount to some 82,500,000. and tbeir
total receipts to about $5,600,000. ' The tofal
anuual receipts of the press in New York Ciiy
exceed $25,000:000. After New York, Phi ja
delphia ranks second in the importance of its
newspapers; next is Baston and then comes our
new and wonderful city Chicago. ; j

;i A letter from New Orleans to the Lancaster
Ledger, signed J. N. CL, (we presume Rev. J.
N. Craig,) speaks as follows of the' way the Sab
bath is observed in Newi
Orleans :
4'The city is remarkab
e for its Sabbath break
insr. It was ri2inallv a city or; onlv a foreign
and papal population, and their disregard for the
day has impressed itself ipon tke;people general
ly. Take the history of the 1st day of iMay
(which was on the Sabbath;) a$ an example
On one side of town . the State liair was in iul
blast on another side, tljte Base Ball clubs; were
in high contest, (as they frequently are, on that
day ,V before thousands of spectators. On another
stchi the Germans were lout in procession.! with
brass bands and colors, ia spend'-the day in the
strourbs in athletic gauges, dances, &c; and an
assistant ; Bishop of thisj Catholic diwese was
marching throtivgh the streets with bands, a long
line of iollowei-s, and, all the trappings of his of
face, to the Uathcdral, where his inauguration
was to take4lacc. Many stores were open, drays.
baggage, wagons ana tne nice wore going m
every direction. Theatre and ofera both going
on as usual.! Coffee-houses open and full mar
kets crowded, land thus it would seem that the
devil owued the day as peculiarly his own. t But
not so: Christians do riot intend to'givei this
city over td hiin. They ave planted themselves
firmly 'for the tight, and they are fighting well.
Something over fifty years aro. Iwhen the citv

that . became
Unitarian, j Presbyterians then
built another,.
the "first church," which was, burned and re
bililt,, is now occupied by that i orince
among

h nty years ajgo the population here was 16,000,

ing the second magnitude. . It soon began to de
cline in brightncssfalling in twelve days to the
eighth magnitude. j It was subjected to spectro
scopic observation 2y William II uggms shortly
after it began to fad? . This experienced observer
was'surprised with the phenomenon of two distinct
spectra. Une of these wasj the ordinary spectrum
of dark, linest showng. thq existence of a photos
phere ot incandescent solid or liquid matter, in
lrtspd in a irawnrrtiifl ntimcnTif-ro Oiarlv!nflr
this was .a spectrum consistiug of four bright
lines. This plainly proved the existence of a
second source of light, shown by its ' peculiar
spectrum to be a luminous gas. Two of these
lines were thc prominent hydrogen lines, and
their. . greiit Lrighies3J showed the gas: to be
hotter than the photosphere The conclusion
was obvious: the j observer" beheld a blaring
"world. A sudden! flood ; of : freehydrogen gas
had apparently btijit from tho interior of the
star, and was fiercely burning in contact with
some other element The intense k heat of this
cbnflrtgratioiS had also hea :ed : the photosphere,
so as to render its sectrup more vivid. ; .
If, then, the sta thus! liable to become en
wrapped in the jlauies of burning; hydrogen, we
may speculate as to what would I be the fate of

vagaries of its siter ofbs and burst out in

Golden Words' from an Old Kcrciast.
We all want to know how good and strong
men have made their ways in the world. The
were once boys like you. What steps did they
take to become truo men f An eminent mer
chant in New York, Mr Jonathan Sturgis, tells
us a little of his experience, which, I am sure,
every boy will be glad to hear about i
" ,lOne of my first lessoni," fays Mr Sturgis,
"was in 1813, when I was eleven year old. My
grandfather had a fine flock of merino sheep,
which were carefully tended during the war of
that day." I Was the shepherd boy, and my btisi
ness was to watch the sheep in the field. A
boy who was more fond of his books than tho
sheep was sent with me, but left the work to me,
while he lay under the trees and read. I did
not like that, and finally went to my grand-,
fiith er and complained of it. I shall never furget
the kind smile of the old gentleman as ho said :
"Never you mind, Jonathan, my boy ; if you
watch the sheep, you will have the sheep."
"What docs grand-father mean by that ? I
said to' myself. I don't expect to have sheep.
My desires were moderate, and a floe buck was
worth a. thousand, dollars. - I could not exaotly
make out in my mind what it was, ! but I had
great confidence in him, for he was a judge, and
had been to Congress in Washington s time ; so
I concluded it was all right, and went back eon.
tentedly to the sheep. After I got into the field
I could not keep his words out of tny head,
Then I thought of my Sunday lessaa--'Thou
bast been faithful over a few things ; I will
make thee ruler over many things," 1 I began to
see through it : , 'Never you mind who neglects
his duty: bo you faithful, and you
will . hare
after. I
