Social Science Congress A hundred years ago the average circulation was less than one newspaper or periodical In a year for each person now it is one in every four days This Increase has taken place almost entirely within the past thirty years In 1840 196000000 were issued in 1870 eight imes as many or 1500000000 Since 1840 newspapers have not ncreafed in the Ets'ern States but have in tbe West The average circulation of dailies in 1870 was 4500 in 1840 eighteen dailies were printed in New York and since then 113 have been started but at present the number itsued in the English language is the same as in 1840 There are besides five German two French dailies and one Scandinavian The total circulation of the English papers is 450-000 varying from 2000 to 186000 In London there are seven morning papers but only fnrhsve a hold on ihejpublic Centralization is preventing the growth of new enterprise in journalism as well as government The difficulties of gauging circulation profits and influence are very great The circulation of all papers rose during the war and was temporarily in-creasod daring tbe Franco-Prussian war then decreased and is now sca-cely two ttrrds as large as it was The paper then discusses the two-cant aud penny-papers and goes on to claim for Boston a larger circulation proportionate to population than other city in tbe world except Springfield New York comes next This is based on estimates of circulation which Mr Hubbard does not guarantee The paper" men describes the growth of the newspaper commenting on the unfairness of the partisan press and the birth of the independent press The necessity for faster printing facilities and how they were met are next from the introduction of steam by the London Time in 1814 to the perfecting presses of the present day Then enne sterotyping first perfected by the London Times' bt before the invention had reached hue one equally uccessful was adopted by the Tribune in 1861 minutes is the time ordinarily required in stereotyping tbe plates though tha London Time printers claim thef can do it in The progress from the Hoe Rotary Press to the Bullock Press is marked the former only printing one side of the paper at a time the latter printing both sides at once ten cylinder Rotary Press prints 20000 an hour and the Perfecting Press 32000 an Advertisements are next discussed and their various features from the editorial or otherwise and the notice to the advertisement proper The New York Herald pu -dishes an advertisement only once and has had sixty columns a day at $i00 a prices vary Unless advertisements are sufficient to snstain the paper the temptation insert advertisements as editorials for which a la-ge fee is offered is almost In this country it is very common Apropos of independence it alludes to the Sampson episode iu the London Times The writer then discusses the news? and alludes to the growing us3 ot the tele graph and describes the rise of the New York Associated Press and tbe American Press Association and their agencies for the distribution of news in Boston acd the rest of tte country Tbe London Time exceeds in influence all the other European papers aud in circulation all but the Tele graph and Standard The pcetal telegraph bas given tbe English provincial papers a start over tbe melropolitm pspe which the Time is endeavoring to recover by fast train and otber scientific annihila-tors of space Washington as the news center has long ago given place to New York me write the dispatches for the papers and I care not who writes their is more true if less practical than tbe saying about the songs of a people and its laws After recounting the various divisions of labor and the expense thereon in collecting news Mr Hubbard says the sales of the paper defray a small portion of the outlay A triple sheet of the Herald or Tribune weighs 34 ounces the oaper costs from eight to ten a pound In 1835 Mr Bennett is said to have had $50(1 when he started tbe Herald Mr Greeley had less to begin the Tribune Twenty millions of dollars have been spent however since then in unsuccessful efforts to start new papers The Sun has been successful although it had a temporary tall in 1866 jvhen it- be-ctiei religious paper Sbce Mr Dana took it in hand in 1868 It bas done ex- tremely well and would be more influential if less acrimonious and lees bitter in personal at' arks No paper excepting the Times has had unvaried prosperi as the New York Herald Both papers have descended from father to son Tne Herald its reputation of furnishing a greater variety and amouDt of news and of exhibiting more energy and in its collection of news than rny other psper at home or It is understood that or three of its leading writers receive salaries of $10000 a The Tribune in many respects is unsurpassed The New York Time was started iu 1851 and quickly becime a success un-dei Mr Raymond founder and editor for twenty It achieved its largest

months We have not a living x-President at this time but there are even ye" three surviving widows of ex Mrs Abraham Lincoln Mrs John Tyler and Mrs James Polk whose has band was President thirty years ago Mrs Johnson who died at Greenevilie Tenn had been a patient sufferer for many long years including those years when she was the occupant of the White House and since the death of her husband in August last she had been gradually siDkiDg till her life closed on night She was four years younger than her husband and had therefore just reached the age cf six ty-aix years Her maiden name was Miss Eliza McCardle and she was ml attractive damsel when in her seventeenth year she was wooed and won in her mountain home by the poor but ambitious young tailor of Greenevilie who was not yet twenty-one She was a bright young woman who had obtained such education as was afforded by the schools of the day in that part of the country and there is no donbt that Andrew Johnson who felt the superiority of her acquirements was largely indebted to her for that mental stimulus which led him into'tbose studies which he pursued with such assiduity from tbe period of their marriage It is stated that the youthful couple used to study together far iuto the night when all the rest of the villagers were asleep that she was in the habit ef reading aloud to him while he worked awsy at his trade of tailoring that she aided him to learn to read fluently and that the guided his hand while he struggled to acquire ths art of writing It is ofen said tbatsve taught him the alphabet but this is a mistake for though he was never at school he had pushed beyond that stage of learning before he left North Carolina for Tennessee She was to him a most excellent and gentle housewife as wel as a teacher of tnrefati gable zeal while at tha same time she displayed tbe best practical capacity in her ways of life in the ordering of their humble household Iu still otber ways she assisted him and bis early popularity in Greenevilie was largely owing to the frankness aod amiability of her intercourse with the people of tbe village We have heard of her modest pride when Mr Johnson a few years after marriage received that first public honor upou which he imself was always so fond of dilating in his election to the office of Alderman Their home was gladdened little children and her fame incr ased until he wore the laurels of the Mayoralty to which office he was elected for three terms Daring these years as through all the subsequent years of her life she herself was of the most retiring disposition and always avoided anything that might bring her into any sert of publicity saying to women of more ambition that her enjoyment was in her home with her children practicing the'economy ryrdered necessary by her slender means Wbeu Mr Johnson went to Nashville as a member of the Tennessee Legislature she remained in reeneville in change of their household and even when ho became Gjvernor of the State she continued to maintain that degree of domestic privacy which was most congenial to her nature In the spring of 1861 when Mr Jotmson was a Federal Senator just before tbe outbreak of the war she removed to Washlt gtor but after a shuH residence there with her husband she baa to return to Tennessee on accuntof her health She was there and he was in Washington when the war began and as he coaid not enter Tennessee which was then a member of the Confederacy and she could not leave the State by of ill health they were separated from each other for nearly two years Her experiences during this period were of a trying kind In 1862 the Confederate authorities required her to leave the Confederacy but they did not enforce the order upon learning her condition Some months afterward she was so disturbed over the reports about her husband that she asked permission to leave which was granted but it was only after many set backs many troubles and much hard foumeying that the feeble woman at last reached Nashville where her husband was installed as military Governor of Tennessee His emotion on meeting his suffering wife after I heir long separation amid the stormy scenes of war overcame him and were relieved by profuse tears In a short time her mother's heart was pierced by tbe death of her eldest son who bad just been appointed an army surgeon and was instantly killed by being thrown from his hoase When Mr Johnson went on om Nashville to Washington in 1865 to enter on tbe offics of Vice-President he made preparations for the removal of his wife and family to Greenevilie but before he lad been able to accompany her there the assassination of Mr Lincoln induced him to change bis plans and take her to the new residence iu the White House to which he had been so unexpectedly called There she remained with him daring the four stormy years of his Presidency as a confirmed invalid She never appeared iu Washington society was known to but a small ci cle of acquaintances and was only on rare occasions met by a few of the friends who made visits to the White House She was last seen firing her abode there at a party given to her gran -children when she was unable to rise from her chair to greet the guests who were presented to her Her daughter Mrs Patterson was happily able to relieve her from the duties of the household and of society are plain said she the mountains of Tennessee aud I trust too much hot be expected of us When President Presidential term expired his wife gladly returned with him to home in Greenevilie aud there she

Destructive Agent-Explosive Reminisce nee or Onr Civil War London Times Perhaps a short account by one who is acquainted with the origin and object of the coal torpedo referred to iu the Times of yesterday may interest some of your readers In the winter ot 1863 a Captain Courtenay )taind from the Confederate War Department the facilities for making some experiments with his coal castings at Richmond Va to be used for collapsing the boilers of tbe war vessels aud transports by introducing the sham coal into the Government coal piles at the various United States naval depots along tbe coast and on the great rivers in the interior The experiments were so successful that the system was finally adopted and operations were commenced shortly after The torpedoes were irregular iron or steel castings three-eighths of an inch thick except at the oore hole which was reinforced t) allow a thread tn it to receive the fuse or plug The models were taken from poly lateral pieces of coal picked at random from a pile not so large as to require by tbe fireman before being shoveled into the furnace The interior was rendered smooth by centrifugal motion with emery to reducs the risk of explosion by chafing while introducing the charge The shell being filled and closed with brass ptng it was dipped by means of a string into a boiling mixture of coal tar pulverized either anthracite or bituminous whichever was desired to be represented a small quantity of resin or beeswax then instantly into a backet of iced water the result being a coating of about three-quarters of an inch in thickness which gave tbe shell when the tur-face gloss had been scraped off the exact resemblance of a lump of coal in weight smell aod general appearance Several of these were dropped into the nited- States Government coal depot at Fortress Monroe aud lea to the destruction of the new sloop -of-war Chenango and also of the splendid steamer Greyhound used as the headquarter boat of tbe Armv of the James tbe illustrious commander of which Gen Buffer and Admiral Porter near lost their 1 ives having ust left the vessel before her boilers collapsed Both these vessels had cealed up from the same pile at Fort Monroe shortly before The coal torpedo has to my knowledge been seriously examined aud considered by more than one government and sums of money have been awarded by wo of them tor samples and information connected with their minuficture It is very probable that the coal torpedo which can be made of less size and therefore more difficult to detect and more easily handled and distributed fas our knowledge of fulminates advances may piay a conspicuous part in the next maritime war A few yens pasr the whole sjst of torpedo attack or defence was denounced as barbarous and outside the laws of war aud common humanity Both Admiral 8 Lee commanding tha United States squadron on tbe James River during Petersburg campaign aud Admiral Dahlgren commanding off Charleston proclaimed no quarter to Confederate torpedo operators and after the destruction of the United States ship Commodore Jones in the James River by the submarine torpeJoes at Deep Bottom In charge of Commander Hunter Davi son Confederate States navy one of the operators a war raut officer in the Confederate rates navy who fell into the hands was immediately put to death ia 1834 Now in 1875 the United States nivy is ahead of all others in the science aud practice of offensive torpedo warfare and maintains an elaborate torpedo school at Newport I through which ail officers are obliged to graduate During the Revolutionary War and again as late as the war of 1812 the British press and public denounced the me of the rifle by the American troops as barbarous and the picking off of men at long range as murderous aud inhuman Tempora mutantur The bloving up of powder bulk at City Point in 1864 was not accomplished as your correspondent supposes by an fo' fernal machine on the villain model but by a volcanic fuse with a gimlet point which was screwed! into a barrel of fixed ammunition on board or on its wy to the powder vessel moored off City Point and containing nearly 400 tons of powder and

cough his condition seems to me to be unchanged wbat it it then was Mr Stephens evidently has but little'ex-pectation of rccivery la my he says my system will give way here and give way there until there will be a general co THE AMERICAN FOR JS7S The centralization of power in Washington and the control of corrupt combination In the pay of the Government at various points throughout the country to fleece the people of their hard earnings has justly excited the public The unexampled policy ot paying billions of debt in gold at a period of general stagnation in business the disposition manifested if not to convert the Government Into an absolute monarchy to reduce the free people of America to absolute serfdom the continual cry of the tax gatherer the building up of the few at the expense of the many the excessive inequalities of burdens imposed by the Governmenton its own citizens tai of whom are entitled to equal privileges the results ot all these in the general prostration of business afford just cause for alarm They afford also a Jus cause for a demand for a change in tho National administration of public affairs It is therefore the duty of the Democracy which iu its purity is the representative and del fender of the people aud of the people themselves who are really the Democracy to correct the growing evils which threaten to orerwheli all in common ruin There must be a change of the National Administration before there is either safety or real reform This is the vital question before the (eopie The Ambrioah is on the side of the people and of change It has Its viewsand expresses them from day to day and while doing so frankly and honestly it also fairly and as ally as its space will permit gives the views and arguments of the other side It claims nothing outside of the interests of the people and seeks only to inform them truthfully of all matters In which they themselves are mostly concerned On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic and of a Presidential campaign of tho greatest moment to the people it behooves the Conservative and Democratic masses of this section to supply themselves in time with political news facts and general politioal information itom the learest central distributing point The Amxhi-oak issued from the capital of Tennessee and supplying as well much of the territory of Kentucky Georgia and Alabama is the

the full volume of telegraphic reports of the Western Associated Press including the Congressional proceedings of the most interesting session for many years in which the Democrats for tc first time since the war have a majority in the Lower House and nearly half the members of tbe Senate The season is rapidly approaching and near at hand when will be discussed political issues affecting the National State County and Municipal elections of 1876 The Presidential election ovetshadows aU others in its importance at this time not to our section alone but to friends and defenders of Republican institutions throughout the Union Though times may be hard the very occasion of hard times is trace able to sources with which tbe people ought to be acquainted and of which it is the mission of the Ahbkioan to inform and we think it is nut inopportune nor dest to ask the attention of the masses of the people to its columns which will be always full and reliable The suggestion to Democrats and Conservatives of Tennessee and States adjacent to help extend Its circulation And enlarge its sphere of usefulness is the more confidently made In view of the very grave political and financial questions which are now agitating tee public mind and which will enter largely into the approaching Presidential canvass and perhaps de termine tee character of the Government itself in the future The Awksioah has undeviatingly stood forte in defense of tee Constitution of tee rights of the States and of individual liberty Now when all these are assailed by a powerful and corrupt centralized

The monster petition from Utah to Congress asking that the Territory be admitted as a State signed by 23360 Mrmon women is worthy of some particular scru-iny The number wou'd indicate that every woman in Utah had signed the petition and even then there must be attached tbe name? of many very young girls Any peison who has traveled much in the Territory beyond the points reached by railroad and has lived among the people knows how easy it would bqfto obtain the signature to such aperitionof every Mormon woman who can write Not one of them would hesitate an instant to sign any paper the Church authorities might send to them But their signatures are in no wise expres sive of their desires aud no doubt many of them would be glad of the opportunity' of sayii so The number cf the signatures is quite striking however and worth examination The census of 1870 shows a population for the Territory of a little less than 87000 The male population was 44121 and the female 42665 The nu her of families which is in Mormondom a pretty accurate measure of the number of women was 17210 The number of houses was 18290 which may still more nearly approximate the number of women 'It must be remembered the girls marry very yaurrg aod if by women are meant those above 18 years of age 18000 iu 1870 is an ample estimite The increase in the Territory bas not been great since 1810 and the immigration bas been largely of miners so that it must be considered extremely doubtful if there are at ti present time 23000 women aboveT8 yevs old in Utah There are nowhere in Ter itory women who would lead in any such work as obtaining signatures to any petition It is conclusive that the petition must have been gotten up by tbe exercise of the Church authority and it Should late no more weight with Lire country than if the names had all been written In Salt L- ke by Brigham Young him-eif As to the Church and polygimy it is safe to say that it is heartily supported by tbe women of the Territory except In the northern part in the larger towns where the Gentile population is large eno gh to exercise influence either by precept or example There the Mormon girls prefer to marry and cannot be restrained by the Chnrch In the southern towns wnere the population is entirely Mormon the women never are known to question the authority of tbe Church and are lead to regard polygamous marriages as a special mean of salvation It is pretty safe to say that if 23 000 women have reglly signed such a petition as reported that not 10000 of them know the difference between a State and a Territory and it fe almost as certain some hundreds of the signatures were attached by proxy HEroBTS of comes from almost all parts of the world but the Brilisb workingmen appear to have resolved to
