Is the Londonderry Standard, an
Irish newspaper, of January 24, 1877,
we notice an article under the head
ing of " Kennnught Farming Socie
ty's Annual Ploughing Hatch." The
article in question generally speak
ing is of general interest to the farm
ing commnnity, because an American
carried off the prize cup, which has
been in competition since 1S71.
Americans usually carry off the
prizes when placed in competition
with their cousins across the water,
iu the old country. The winner in
this case is Mr. Paul Loudon, now of
Crindle ilyroe, Ireland, but formerly
of this Juniata county, where he
was born. He is a brother of ex
Sheriff Samuel B. Loudon, of Mif
flintown. Alwut twenty years ago
he went from Tuscarora Valley, his
native valley, to visit his uncle in Ire
land. He remained there, married an
Irish lady, and, when his uncle died,
inherited his estate, on which he now
resides, leading the life of a pros
perous Irish farmer.
The article in question closes as
follows : It is a source of gratifica
tion to all the members of the Soci
ety that the cup has been finally worr
by an old and respected momber of
the Society, and one of the best
farmers of the Mvroe district The
Society and their friends have every
reason to pass a vote of thanks to
Mr. and Mrs. Loudon for their hos
pitality during the day."

The circumstantial detail of 334
years tbe years that bave opened a
uew world and created a mighty nation
was never giveu iu better tyle tbsu
in this work. When we look through
the bulky volumes ot Bancroft we wou
der that one man bhould attempt to
write all the history ot our country
when the preliminary portion of it takes
up so much space, liut cannot see
that Protestor Kulpatti La omitted a
single material fact that is contained iu
Kancroft, while he has avoided that
tedious detail Which unfits tbe wrk ot
the latter lor popular use. The in
trigues of the English Court and Cabi
net, the petty hquahbles .f the House
of Commons, the rise and fall of parties
in England, which are iippied to have
had an influence on Atueriean affairs,
these are itid-ed mi itfid from Prof.
RuJpatYs work : but in their stead is
given a brief ami masterly 3uiuttary of
the causes which led to the American
Revolution, which wc venture to sav,
cooveis a better understanding of tbe
matter to ninety nine iu every hundred
readers. Take for iustaoce the follow
ing extract :
Another canse leading to the Revolu
tion as found in the natural dupoutiott and
inheiittd eharacter of tht colo n. They
were, lor the most part, republicans in pol
itics and flissenli-rs in religion. The peo
ple of Englind were monarchists and high
Chorehmen. The colonics had never seen
a kmc The Atlantic lay botween them and
the British ministry. Their dealings wi b
the royal officers had been such a to engen
der a dislike for inonan:hial institutions.
The people of America bad not forgotten
could not well forget the circiiiusiances
uikW which their ancestors had com to
the New vVotld. For six gem-rations the
colonists had managed their own aff airs ;
and their methods ot government were ne-,-essarily
republieari. The experiences of
lh French and ludilm War h id shown that
Americans e-e ful y ab!e to di'leud them
selves and their country. "
As oue important cause, is not that
more satisfactory than a volume ol com
mentary ?
The author's rare ability to condense
a vast amount of information into a sin
gle paragraph is shown tn any of his
numerous, graceful biographies. Take
the following on lienjamin Franklin :
Bkxjamix Fbaxeu. the author of the
first treaty between the United States and a
reign nation, was born in Boston on the
17th of January, 17'H; His fitlitr was a
manufacturer of soip and candles To this
hini'lile vocation the young Benjamin was
devoted by his parents i D,lt t,ie "alls ot a
candle-shop were too narrow for his aspir
ing genius. At the age ol" twelve he was
apprenticed to his brother to learn the art
ol printing ; but the brother beat him, and
be ran off to New York. There he found
no employment. In 1723 he repaired to
Philadelphia, entered a printing oilice, and
rose to distinction. He visited England ;
returned ; lounded tne Bisl circulating libra
ry in America; became a man of science;
edited Poor Richard' i Jllmanae ; originated
the American Philosophical Society ; dis
covered the ideutity of electricity and light
nirg; made hiicself known in both hemi
spheres; espoused the cause of the patriots;
and duvotisl the unimpaired energies of his
old age to rlecti:is the American Union.
The name ol Franklin is one ot the bright
est in the history ot any nation."
In this work Prof. Ridpath has sur
mounted one difficulty which confronts
all historians ; to set forth all the facts,
with fitting comments, without ou the
oue baud making bis work too volumi
nous for couiiuou use, or on the other
making if a mere outline of dry and
disconnected facts.
A series of Charts show the cotem
porary men and events, and colored
maps illustrate the changes in political
boundaries from tune to lime. These
are of great assistance to the reader.
In short it is difficult to find a particu
lar in which this Histrry does not meet
every want of the citizen and patriot.
It is the work of a cultured mind and
careful historian, aud must take rank
as tbe best History of the United
States yet published.
