ANCIENT NKWSFArmi
At the coming Centennial Newspa
per Exhibition at Philadelphia it has
Wo decided to display copies of an
tique journals and other curiosities of
newspaper literature. To this inter
esting collection all persons haying
aucieut, quaint, or curious specimens
are invited to contribute; and should
the response be as hearty and general
as we hope to find it, this gathering of
time-worn publications will prove to
be not only a leading trait cf the
Newspaper Department, but also one
of the salient attractions of the Exhi
bition as a whole. All having the
ability and the will to aid on the pro
ject should transmit their consign
ments without delay to the Pavilion
of the Centennial Newspaper Exhibi
tion, Fairraount Park, Philadelphia,
addressed to the care of Mr. Geo. P.
Rowell, who has the matter in charge.
While on view, these exhibits will
have attached to them labels designa
ting by whom they are contributed,
and all consistent care will be taken
to preserve them from damage. Alter
the close of the Exhibition they will
be again at the service of their own
ers, or, in the absence of different in
structions, will be transferred to some
historical society or museum.
iunng tno jaio war there were
many newspapers issued which illus
trated the straits in which their pub
lishers found themselves. Pink, blue,
and yellow sheets, wrapping paper,
and many other substitutes were press
ed into the service. Specimens of
these tow possess a curious interest.
The advantages to the publio of
such a gathering are manifest to a de
gree which renders elucidation unnec
essary, and the opportunity to do a
rery useful act Is placed within easy
reach. A single copy of some senile
broadsheet may not be of much worth
to its proprietor, yet in conjunction
with others it will make up a worthy
collection. Many people there are
who, having preserved such curiosities
for years, can turn them to little or
do practical account, and it is pot too
much to hope that the response given
by such will be ready and general.
Without loss to themselves, they can
materially benefit visitors to the
Great Centennial Exhibition and ap
preciably advance a patriotic move
ment. .The Chicago Tribune says : A doc
tor on West Adams street saved a
young woman's life two months ago.
' When he brought round his bill the
, grateful father replied: "Take her,
doctor; she is yours ; her heart beats
only for you. Me and the old woman
will come and live with you by-and-bye."
The son of Esculapius said he
wasn't that kiud of a man ; that he
couldn't afford it ; that seeing it was
him, he would take $66. "Sixty-six
dollars I" screamed the pious father:
"why, I could have buried Jier for half
the money.
The custom of appointing young
lawyers to defend pauper criminals re
ceived a backset the other day. The
Judge had appointed two young law
yers to defend an old and experienced
horse thief. Afier inspecting his coun
sel for some time in silence, the pris
oner rose in bis place and addressed
the Bench : "Air them to defend mV"
"Yes, sir," said His Honor. "Both of
mem t inquired the prisoner. "Yes,
both of them," responded the judge.
"Then I plead guilty," and the poor
fellow took his seat and sighed heav
ily. "Yes, fair Maud," he said dreamily,
"thevaletudinarian recliues in slip
pered ease upon the sunny couch of
inaoieuce, ana pours lortu sweet idyls
of the heroio times when " "Yes,"
she broke in, "It is beautiful; but
excuse me for a moment ; I think I
emell the Irish stew burnincr." And
picking up his hat, he bowed with a
sickly smile, excused her, and emigra
ted lor nome.
A man in South Hadley, who has
just got out of a lawsuit.wants to obtain
a large framed picture of a cow, with
one client at the bead and the other
at the tail, pulling, and the lawyers
meanwuue quietly milking.
Nineteenth Century Mother "Mv

your parents ana torsake tbe frivolous

The man who Painted Patience as a
healthy looking female perched on a
chunck of sandstone, never saw an ed
itor chewing the end of a pencil.while
mree compositors stood m tbe back
ground yelling for copy.
A bill to prohibit the salo of Intox
icating liquors within four miles of
tne Uilitornia University, is called by
a San Francisco paper. "An act to
promote pedestrianism among -stu
dents." b
A Denver paper says that an Iu
dian chief left his squaw in a saloon
there, the other day, as a security for
tne payment of a whisky bill. Prob
ably one of the Pawnee tribe.
A man (says Dr. Hall) may be
quick iu manner, decided in speech
auj inflexible in purpose; but he
may be courteous and kind for all
that.
It is an uumitii'ated cruelty to com
