We are forced to the conclusion that there is something radically rotten in connection with the country press of Ontario. Within the last three months several morning journals have become afternoon papers, three or four weeklies have expired outright and others are singing without a stop to the dismal burden of unpaid subscription lists. Some time ago we calla" public attentmn to an appeal ad meserz'cordium issued by the Alliston Star in which that journal called upon its subscribers in almost cringmg terms to pay their legitimate From this and similar symptoms there are but two hypothesisâ€"~that the country press is deteriorating, or that “dead beatism” is spreading to an alarm- ing extent among country readers. YVe do not favor the former inference, for we never saw the country papers in such ‘fgood collar.” Every village and town boasts of a couple .of weeklies, and the existing rivalry urges them to make every effort to secure news and to give, their patrons the utmost value for their ‘ money. The ConServative sheet shud- ers at the thought of being distanced by its Reform rival, and viceversa; and so the battle rages, both contestanrsl fightingnobly, While the tear-and-wear of their threws and sinews goes to the benefit of their readers. We venture to suggest that there is in the country weeklies a little too much of that malig- nant personal ferocity which character- ized the Eatonsville organs of “buif” and “blue,” but in the line of political warfare, and, in theabaence of any lo- cal news of importance, the aesthetic combats of opposing editors, furnish interesting reading matter and no small amount of amusement. We are very much. inclined to_believe that the fault lies with the reading public. There are â€"we say it in sorrow and with a pro- found knowledge whereof we speakâ€" hundreds of country subscribers who think that cordwood, potatoes, or an or- der for cowhide boots are fair equivalents for the printer’s year’s labor, and that if he refuses barter, it is justifiable gouging to give him nothing at all. What but a growing desire among the public to “beat” the printer, could have induced the Orillia Packet to make the following announcement, in which 'the clamorous editor compromises his character as a loyal subject and throws himself into the clutches of a suspended habcas corpus. “In order to keep up with the times, curry favor, and increase our subscrip- tion list, we propose to insert a story illustrative of British tyranny, cruelty and misruleâ€"provided we can find one sufiici‘ently truculent. If not, we shall employ a tallented head centre to write one.” There is something heinous and un- christianlike in the system which compels the hard-worked printer to become an avowed Fenian ;’ and should the Packet The Brave old Plough. The Provincial Press. geummm. 3mm. man, in carrying out the above proposal, violate the. laws relating to treason-felony, the responsibility will rest with those who refuse to pay him what they owe and what he has but too honestly earned. Shocking as. is the predicament of the man of the Packet, the controller of the 'Cobourg World is in a worse plight, if anything can be much worse than run- ning the risk of being hanged, drama and quartered. He clings with com- mendab‘le affection and tenacity to the good name of Brltish institutions, pre- ferring with chivalry and a. loyal heart to sacrifice his editorial person on the altar of un'requitted 'supscription lists; He says 2â€"- “We have delivered a number of ac- counts, and shall, during the coming week, deliver many more. They are all small, and we ask our friends to be kind enough to pay them at once. Do not oblige us a second time to write out and render hills which involve such small amounts. Office hours, for receiving payments, from one o’clock A.M., until twelve, midnight. To this appeal ad somnum h‘omim's ‘another‘ brother of the press, knowing how it is himself,:{responds,â€"-“ Long hours these, and yet it is doubtful if the game is, worth the candle.” The above are [but examples of‘ the editorial ad- dresses which characterize our weekly papers, and they show the public of On- tario in a bad light. When a traveller wishes to know the merits of a country which he intends to visit, his invariable, guide is its press, Guide-books, emigra- tion pamphlets and geographies tell him of the country’s physical aspect, but the press alone is the mirror in which the true condition of the State is reflected, and the only reliable authority on its wealth, progress and social features. When therefore, the journals of a coun- try are continually croaking of premature death and dinning the ears of their readers withgpay-what-you-owe suppliea- tions, such a country, in the eyes of a foreigner, must be in the throes of bankruptcy and national ruin.’ We ask the readinggpnblic.towarefully consider this“ fact ;“Exfd"if’ffi€§‘ restarts? their own engagements, let them for the sake of theflcountry, pay their printer’s ac- counts to the utmost farthing, and redeem Ontario from the stigma of being a, State where the printing press cannot live, although the Treasury contains a surplus of three million dollars.â€"-Tele- graph.

About the middle of the last century, When George II. was king, 1:. little Italian, Jew in religion, and by trade a merchant, set foot on the shore of Eng- land to deal with the natives. The emigrant’s name was Benjamin d’Israeli, that is, Benjamin of israelâ€"name se- lected by one of his ancestors, when driven from Spain to Italy, in lieu of a less distinguished cognomen in the Gothic style. Coming not without a few pounds in his pocket, Benjamin set- 'led down in the capital to speculate in scrip and lend out money at a good per- centage; and manoeuvring with _the wonted skill of the people of his race» his small capital rose up into a consrder- able fortune before the world and he had grown a score of years older. Contented Benjamin then gave up all idea of return- ing to the bosom 'of the Israel family, resolving to become a British citizen. He swore allegiance to George II., and built himself a house at Enfield, on the borders of Middlesex, and took unto himself a wife, and begat a son whom he called Isaac. It was Benjamin’s inten- tion that his Son should follow in his business; but Isaac coming to age, shewed literary ambition, and to the horror of his parents bloomed up finally and irrevocably as a maker of bOOks, both in rhyme and prose. All through- out the course of a long life, before and after the death of his father, Isaac set to work with indefatigable industry, in his chosen task', employing not only his pen, but his scissors, and turning out in quick succession volumes counted by the dozen With his name on the title page. So much was he absorbed in the pursuit as even to shun the society of humanity, and it was not till past the age of forty , that he fell in love with a Jewish maiden and made her the partner of his home in . the paternal cottage at Enfield. Isaac d’Israeli, or, as he had begun to spell his name Disraeli, was honestly attached to the religion of his fathers; but his 1 wife did not consider it quite genteel to . be called a Jewess, and when they had . been a dozeniy‘éa'rs marriedâ€"shesucceed’éd â€"=ru‘.â€" 'the Christian pale. in inducing him to go over with her to Previous to this event several children had come to be born in the Enfield cottage, the oldest of whom was called Benjamin after his grandfather. It was on the last day of . the year 1805 that he saw the light of Middlesex this little Benjamin, destined ‘ to become Prime Minister of Great Britain, leader of the ancient Tory party, and one of the most extraordinary statesmen of the present generation, if not of all ages.

The following examples of the marvels of memory would seem entirely incredible had they not been given to us upon the highest authority: â€"Cyrus knew the name of- each soldier in his army. It is also related of Themistocle‘s that he could call by name every citizen of Athens, although the number amounted to 20,000. Mithridates, King of Pen“- tus, knew all his 80,000 soldiers by their right names. Scipio knew all the” ins habitants of Rome. Seneca complained of old age because he could not as for- merly, repeat two thousand names in the order in which they were read to him; and he stated that on one occasion,when at, his studies, 200 unconnected verses have been recited by the different pupils of his perceptor, he repeated them in a reversed order, proceeding from the last to the first. Lord Granville" eould re- peat, from beginning to' end, the New Testament in the original Greek. Cooke, the tragedean, is said to have committed to memory all the contents of a large daily newspaper.
