CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1852 798 - DTD Feb. 27; ed: 2/1 - The position of the nobleman Richard Palmerston is plain enough now. He really approved of Napoleon's coup d'etat. Really we say, for he was from the first of it in favor of taking the ursurper by the hand and petting him as a favorite of England. Palmerston in his endeavor has fallen as he should have fallen, without the refreshment of a single public sympathy. Nor idly. For through it another lesson has been taught the world of the folly and wickedness of statesmen playing only a game with great national interest putting up or taking away the stakes as if they were at a gambling table, and as if the smartest tricksters or the most cunning devisers were the fittest to rule over a mighty people and direct affairs. (8) 799 DTD Mar. 17; ed: 2/2 - "We are not of those who infer, from the recent accession of the Tory Ministry in England, that this will affect injuriously the progress of the free principles either in that country or elsewhere.... "It was under a Tory Ministry that slavery was abolished; and it was under such a one that the corn laws were abrogated; and even Catholic Emancipation and Parliamentary Reform were not carried without a deal of Tory aid.... "In respect of information, of talent, and of ability, this new English Ministry, when compared with its immediate predecessor, and especially in comparison of the Ministry which immediately preceded that predecessor, is undoubtedly a mere bagatelle. We cannot help thinking there is less in the whole of it, than was embodied in the person of Sir Robert Peel. At the same time, we cherish a great reverence for the powers of Earl Derby; though we deem him wanting in one of Sir Robert's qualities which seems almost indispensable in a British Premier; we mean the quality of imperturable self-possession." (10) 800 DTD Mar. 30; ed: 2/1 - Earl Derby has not yet defined his position. The Anti-Corn-Law league is rising in his front and the Whigs are attacking from the rear. "The next arrival will tell us probably how parties stand and what is to be the fate of the new Tory Ministry.' (2) CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1. TO DEC. 31, 1852 Abstracts 801 806 GREAT BRITAIN (Cont'd) - 801 - DTD Mar. 30; ed: 2/1 "The new English Ministry, judging from the tone of the British Press, occupy 'uneasy seats.' They are a 'motley host, and will hardly hold together long." 802 - DTD May 24; ed: 2/2 - "The 'tenant right bill' of Sherman Crawford has been defeated, we regret to say, in the House of Commons. Justice to Ireland is something which few Englishmen understand.... "An effort was made by Mr. Bright to carry a motion abolishing flogging in the army; but it failed." 803 DTD May 29; ed: 2/1 The reformers of England have met with a defeat. Cheap postage they have; but they desired cheap papers. A proposition to abolish the paper duty and stamps and to reduce the tax on advertisements was voted down by large majorities in the House of Commons. "But never mind. carry these measures yet." The battle is only begun. (1) (2) The reformers will (2) The assassination of land-owners is still "The detestation of the landlords is so great that, in the popular estimation, it is scarcely more a crime to shoot one of them than to kill a mad dog." 805 - DTD Dec. 15; ed: 2/1 Protection and free trade is the question prevailing in Great Britain. "For long, long years, this controversy has divided the parties of Great Britain and was fought over with the fiercest bitterness. At length, the people say, 'Free trade is our policy,' and Parliament answers, 'let the question be taken from the circle of politics, and let the judgment of the people stand.'" 806 DTD Dec. 17; ed: 2/2 - England has finally settled the question of protection. On Nov. 23, Lord Palmerton offered a resolution which was adopted. It gave credit to unrestricted competition for the improved condition of the country. The privileged, the conservative, prophesy 'ruin, disunion,' and all that; all who oppose them are fanatics, revolutionists, men of one idea; and yet slowly but certainly and in peace progress is made until the truth triumphs, blessing in that triumph ever class and interest and making glad at heart the whole land. This is the lesson taught by the success of the free traders in Great Britain over the crown, parliament, class, and wealth. And from it we Republicans may know how easy it is first, to limit Slavery; second, to extirpate it wholly; and thirdly to accomplish both so as to bless all sections of our beloved country.

Marston of New York has developed a new rifle that is loaded at the breech instead of the muzzle. The charge is in the form of a cartridge with a conical ball at the top and a leather wad at the bottom of the powder. The wad remains in the gun; it is forced out by the succeeding charge, thus keeping the bore clean. "The rifle may be discharged with astonishing rapidity, and seems to have a farther reach than the best rifles of other descriptions." (2) CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1852 811 DTD July 1:3/1 Mr. Hughes, the hairdresser and wig maker has been conducting business in Cleveland for more than a year. While he resided in the city of New York he had a large business and had no superior, as a mechanic, in the city. We know that for quality and cheapness of work our citizens would fare better to patronize Mr. Hughes than to patronize any other person here or elsewhere. Those who need his services may see for themselves. (2) 812 DTD July 1; adv: 3/6 - J. G. Hughes, Melodeon Building, Superior St. offers Wigs and Hair Work - Ventilating and Gossamer Wig Maker and Importer of Human Hair. Ladies furnishing their own hair, or that of deceased friends or relatives, can have it made into any of the following articles which can be seen at subscribers Rooms: Bracelets, Armlets, Negligees, Finger Rings, Ear Drops, Crosses, Ladies and Gentlemen's Neck Chains, Watch Guards, Flowers and Wreaths, etc. HARBORS. See Rivers & Harbors HATS & CAPS 813 DTD Mar. 17; ed: 3/1 - Ketchum and Comstock of Buffalo are manufacturing "comformateur" hats. "We have no doubt they are excellent hatters, and deserve all they claim." HEALTH & SANITATION 814 DTD July 5:3/1 Dr. Mayo furnishes some hints on bathing that may be read with advantage at this season of the year. At night, warm water should be employed and in the morning, cold. The frame, after the exhaustion of the day, is in a condition to be better for the soothing influence of warm bathing. The whole person, preparatory to retiring to rest, should be laved with warm water, and afterwards a moderate glow should be produced by gentle drying with towels. 815 - DTD July 14:3/1 We understand that doctors say that the Sawtell family died of ship-fever, not cholera. Our city was never more healthy in summer than at present. 816 DTD July 15:3/1 The premises next to the brewery on Michigan st. are now being used as a pest house by the city. In our opinion, it would be wiser to seek a new location where the health of so many of our citizens may not be endangered daily by exposure to contagious disease.

While other places have suffered severely from cholera, not a single case has occurred among us. We may ascribe this to our beautiful situation, and the healthful breezes, as well as to the care which the inhabitants take to preserve the cleanliness and health of their city. 818- DTD Oct. 29:2/4 City council met last night and passed a resolu- See also Diseases; Sewage & Sewers HIGHWAYS. See Roads & Highways HISTORY & HISTORIANS 819 DTD May 13; ed: 2/3 "Justice" of Cambridge, Mass., sojourning in Cleveland, has handed a letter to the editor, defending Jared Sparks against Friar Lupin by saying that Sparks' material came not from the original letters of Washington but from the letter books preserved in the Washington family, and many deviations from the original manuscripts may be found in those books. "'Friar Lupin' proves that Mr. Sparks must have had the originals before him; and he proves the fact by Mr. S's own showing. "It matters not at all for what purposes Mr. S. made his selection. from W's 'Revolutionary Correspondence'; since whatever that purpose may have been, it could not justify publishing as Washington's what Washington never wrote." 820 DTD May 17; ed: 2/2 Mr. Macaulay is said to have ordered his publisher to recall as many copies as possible of his English history. "We were glad to hear the report since we inferred from it, that that brilliant writer had resolved to correct some of the fictions put forth by him under the misnomer of History." 821 DTD Feb. 16; ed: 3/1 This anniversary of St. Valentine's was well remembered. "Stacey's and the Post Office were more than usual centers of attraction. We met a continual stream of youth, bearing his or her love-message, and happiness seemed to sit on every heart. We believe these anniversary days a real good, and that if they came oftener the world would be better, and therefore happier." (2) (1) (12) (2) (1) |
