* I broke my rule of posting the entire lead article, come what may. “The Massacre of St. Bartholomew” appears to be a nice history lesson, but the 16th century is out of our jurisdiction and the 20-page article is too long to print, prep and post for a general interest item.

** Republican Hannibal Hamlin elected governor of Maine. Other election news. Updates from Bleeding Kansas and the San Francisco Vigilance Committee. And plenty more.

LOVE THINGS written in the mid-19th century. For literary excellence, they cannot be beat.

Compare how things were written then by a populace that knew and used the English language well with today’s writings.

It shows how far we have fallen, and how dumbed down we are. Our populace is at a 2nd grade level of English compared to then.

So sad.

Forgive my bias - I am an electrical engineer, but I have a degree in English Lit.

The news from Latin America is very interesting. Change a few names and it could have been written yesterday.

I really enjoyed following WW2.
