A Hundred Years Ago.

A hundred years ago a stupid German
monarch reigned over these United States
then colonies of Great Britain--and
on the whole earth, with the exception
Of Switzerland, there was not Repub.
lie of any pretensions. A hundred
years ago the French lilies foa,ed over
Quebec, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans.
A hundred years ago the old French
monarchy existed-the Bastle reared its
accused towers-Louis XIV. dallied
with infamous wantons, squandered his
subjects money, and blasphemed in his
own person the name of man. Fifty
years ago the name of Napoleon was
still comparatively unknown. Fifty
years ago cotton mills had, as it were.
just been invented; and railroads, loco
motives and magnetic telegraphs were
practically unknown. Fifty years ago
there was scarcely five millions of peo-
pie in the United States, and Ohio was
almost as much of wilderness as Ore.
gon is now. Fifty years ago Washing
ton had just died-Jefferson was still liv-
ing, and Clay, Webster, and Calhoun
were names as yet unknown to fame.
