fThe Charleston ffewa and Courier
a paper of marked ability, enter
prise and attractiveness has changed
hands the price paid being $100,000.
It is to be published hereafter y a
company. In Mondays .issue is
announced
"When a firmly established, money-making
newspaper passes into the hands of a
company, it depends no longeron anyidngle
life, and is in position to contmue its -development
under successive managers from
generation to generation. -This is the mean
ing of the reorganization of the News and
Courier. Ah a newspaper, it had long
ceased to be an experiment. - The
income of the IfetM and Courier' in 1881
was nearly thrice as large as the income of
the News in 1868. The News and Courier
has triumphed over legitimate and illegiti
mate opposition, compelling the respect .of
enemies and enlarging constantly the circle
of those who had confidence in the rectitude
of its purposes. There .shall be no step
backward. In policy, the News
and Courier will be American, not sectional,
regarding always the indestructibility of
the States as the sure guaranty of the indis
solubility of the Union."
Among the noted dead of 1881,
we omitted several names that es
caped us. France lost the celebrated
scholar Littre, and Emile Girardin.
America lost " John W. Forney,
Thomas A. Scott. Gov.
William
Beach Lawrence, and in literature,
James T. Fields, Dr. Josiah Gilbert
Holland, and Sidney Lanier, the last
- being a Georgian by birth. In Eng
land, the Methodists lost their greatest
man, Rev. William Morley Punshon.
The oncefamous Scotch Presbyterian
olivine and writer on theV' prophecies,
H. Vinton, Bishop Kerfoot, Episcb- I
. I
palian, and 'Bishop Haven, Metho
dist, passed away.
We have received the new-Baltimore
paper, the 7mes. It is a two
cents paper, is about the size of the
Gazette, and makes a good start as to
appearance, ability, fcc. W. B.
Hazleton is editor and proprietor.
In politics, we understand, it is to be
what is called independent. The ed
itor is a Republican. By the way,
we are glad really to see it .stated
that the Gazette will not cease to be
published, as was announced, but
11 continue to fly the Democratic
flag under increased facilities and
with renewed vigor.
Guiteau says he hopes to have an
other trial and secure an acquittal.
He said, however, that he did not
believe that the Government had
established its case. He is a very
smart crank, and knows what he is
about. His poor brother-in-law has
suffered tremendously in his efforts
to defend the ungrateful-fellow. A
Washington special- of January f 1st
says he came to that city looking
fresh and vigorous, but he now looks
wretchedly.
It is settled now. The leading pa
pers in the North have been saying
that Adeline Patti was the greatest
living singer. Not at all, ; Mr. Max
Strakosch avers. He , pronounces
Gerster her Auperior as a. singer, and
incomparably a better actress. s jHe
says Patti may have been the great-'
est inger but she is not: now. It is
necessary to add that Max is Gers
ter's manager. Ahl U

an idea as the world itself; and when the year
closes a retrospective glance always tells of in
tentions not carried out. To those who have
thought it wise to delay an essay of fortune's fa
Toritism by sending one or two dollars to M. A.
Dauphin, New Orleans, La., in time for the 140th
Drawing of the World-famed Louisiana State Lot
tery before January 10th, the idea must come :
"Delays are dangerous."
MRS. WINSLOWS SOOTHING SYRUP. Ravi
Bvlvanus Cobb thus writes the "Boston Christian
Yeernaiv" i We womld by no means reoommend
any una oi meaicine wnicn we aia not Know to
be good particularly for infanta. Bat of Mrs.
Wmslow's Soothing Syrup we can speak from
knowledge ; in our own family it has proved a
blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled with
oolio pains, quiet sleep, and its parents unbroken
rest at night. Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here Is an article whioh works to per-
lection, and. which is harmless ; for the sleet
which It affords the infant is perfectly natural,
and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a but
ton." -And during theprooese of teething its
value Is incalculable. We have frequently heard
mothers say they would not be- without it from
the birth of the child till it had finished with the
teething siege, on any consideratien whatever. .
