Tin- History of IVcwspftpeTft.
The first newspaper was issued monthly, in MS.
form, in the republic ot Ven ce, and vi as called
lbe Gazi'ta, from a farthing coin peculiar to Ven
ice, and whieh was the common price at which it
was sold. Thirty volumes of it are still preserved
in the library at Florence.
It was long supposed that the first newspaper
published in England was at the epoch of the
Spanish Armada, but it bas been discovered lhat
copies of that bearing the impriut of 1538, in the
British Museum, were forgeries, There was no
doubt that the puny ancestor of the myriads ot
brood sheets was not published in London til)
1622, 150 years alter the art of printing had been
d ecuvered ; and it was nearly a hundred years
more before a daily paper was ventured upon.
Periodical papers seem fust to hav<' been used hy
the English during the times of the Common
wealth, and were then called " weekly news-
books.'' Si me ol them had most whimsical titles.
It was cou mon with early papers to httve a blank
page, which was sometimes filled up, in the pau"
city ol news, by selections Irum the scriptures.
The firft newspaper that appeared in North
America was printed in Bo.-ton. iu 1(590. Only
one copy of that paper is known to be in existence
It was deposited in the State Pap r office in Lon
ilon. and was about the size of an ordinary sheet
of letter pnper. It was stepped by the government. The Boston New* Letter was the Bret regular paper. It was first issued in 1804 and was
printed hy John Allen, iu Puddling Lime. The
contents ot some of lhe early numbers were very
peculiar. It h.id a speech of Queen Anne to Par
liament. delivered 120 year> previously, and thi8
was the latest, news from England, lu one of linearly numbers there was tin announcement th»t
hy order Of the Postmaster General of North
America the post between Bosuni aud New York
►el out once a fortnight. Negro men. women,
and children were advertised *0 be sold; a"dti
call was made upon a wormm who had st len a
piece of hue ace. wonti 14s. a yard, aud upon
another wl'o h''d conveyed a prece of fine calico
under ber riding hood, to return ihe same or be
exposed in Ihe newspupers.
The pioneer paper was published ror seventy-
lour years ; it was ihe 1 "ailiiisr tory paper prior to
Ihe Revolution. The Boston Gazette was the or.
gun of the patriots, nnd was issm d at Watertown,
A\ the commencement of the Revoluiionary War,
there were'but thirty-seven newspapers iu the
United Slates. Ot this number only eight were
Committed io the British Government, but five
others were brought over. The oldest existing
pnper in Massachusetts was the Worcester Spy.
first published in Boston during 177IJ, but removed t ' the western part of the state on the occupation of Boston by the British troops.
Our oountiv, although the youn^eM in the
world, outstrips all (thers in the number of pub-
licat'ous nnd newspapers sold. The numb-r of
Copies of newspapers prnted here is four times-
greater than in Great Britain, though England
has twice as m> ny magazines.
The number ot religious paperB here, and the
ex'eut of their circulation, form a striking social
characteristic.
Population of China.
The uncertain with which we spoke of the
populat ou ofthe Celestial Empire aiisesfrom
the fact that the only reliaole data on the subject
are derived bora sources so ancient that they
possess but little interest. The Courricr des
Etats Unis has published an interesting article
on the subject, from which we learn that when the
English, at the time of the attack upon Cauton,
under Admiral Seymour, entered the palace of
lhe Vicetoy. ihey found, among other curious objects, a book siinlar to those published by the
French government on the customs (Tableau
General) ou loreign commerce, or upou any other
branch of the public service. This book, published ia the Chinese language at the imperial
printing office at Pekiu, was entitled "View of
the population of China and its colonies according
to the census taken by order of the sublime Bim
peror Hieii-Foung. and tu the fourth year of bis
rei^n, 1852.'' The Fmperor, IlienFoung is tht
present reigning monarch, and the census whicl:
he then ordered is more recent by thirty-1 wo years
than that executed uude: the reign of Kia-King.
Dur'iig ths period the population of China has
considerably increased. In' 1815, it amounted to
371,00O,W>0; in 1855, it went up to 396,000.000 ;
ana there is no exaggeration in fixing the number
in 1857 at 400.O0O,Ot)0. There ie, says lhe above
journal, iu this empire an agglomeration of population of which no idea can be given. The province of Kian-Soti contains 39 900.000 souls;
that of Gau-Huvuy. 34.100,000 ; Kiang Si has
30.000 000; Chaug-Touuc 29.000.000; Tchy-Li.
28.00«,00l>; Hoope, 27.000,000; Ho Nan, 23,500-
000. There are in tbe different provinces several
cities with a population varying from 500,000 to
1,000.000 inhabitants, and numerous villages cju-
taiuing 25.500 souls.
This excesH ot population engenders the devas
tating organizations which are continually pillag
ing the couuiry, and creates those fearlul swarint
of individuals without home or resting-place who
are ever ready for adventure, and prove the
scourge of the large cities on the coast. There is
no country in the wurld where contempt tor hu
mau liie is carried to tuch revolting extremes, ol
which no other proof is needed thau the fact th t
some years since the Mandarin governors of the
provinces of Tchy-Li, of K.iang-Son, of Cliang
Toung, and of Tche-Kiang, in order to check in
some measure the increase of population, commanded the poorer classes to drown their iofantf
In twenty-four hours after their birth. Thia revolting order was carried into execution.
'ihe proportion between the Iwo sexes in China
is advantageously developed ; and as there El
coumry in the world in which the women are
mure " fecondes,'" it follows that the population
instead ot being checked or diminished, will continue to increase in progressiou undefined by all
known laws of mortality.

The Fable of tlio Wandering Jew.
The legend of a Jew ever wandering Mid never
dying, even from the crucifixion of Jesus to this
day, has spread over many European countries-
The accounts, however, as in all fables, do bot
agree. One version is this: When Jesun was led
to death, oppressed by the weight of the cross, he
wished lo rest hirus' If near the gate, before the
house ot a shoemaker uauied -/lhasuerus. Thia
man, however, sprang fortb and thurst him away.
Jesus turned towards him, saying, " I shall rest,
but thou shalt move on uutil I return.." And
trom that time he has had no rest, and is obliged
intessantly to wander about. Another version is
lhat given by Mathiai Fnrisiensis. a monk of the
thirteenth century : When Jesus waa led from the
tribunal of Pi Ial us to death, the doorkeeper,
named Cariafilius. puphed him from behind with?
hia feet, saying, " Walk on Jesus, quickly; why
dost thou tarry ?" Jesus looked at him gravely,
and said, "I walk on, but thou sh&H tarry until
I come." And this man, still alive, wanders from
place to place, iu constant dread of the wrath to
come. A third 1< gend adds, that this wandering
J' w falls s ck every hundred years, but recovers,
and renews his strength ; hence it is thai, alter so
many centuries, he does not looS much older than
a septuagenarian. Thus for tbe legends. Not
one ol the ancient authors makes mention of such
an account. The first who report s»me such
things is a monk of the thirteenth century. whent.
as is known, the world was filled to disgust with
pious fiction. However, the story has fpread far,
so that it has become a prnveib—'' He runs about
like a wandering Jew " There are not wanting
persons who assert to have seen the wandering
Jew. But when their evidence is examined by
the test of historical credibility, it ie found that
some mposter bad made a.-e of this fable to impose upon simple minded people for some purpose
of bis own. However, the legend is not altogether untrue ; there iB a wandering Jew rovea
about Europe, in every country. This imperisha.

acquaintance, Deitrick, who could eet but little
