A HEuHa6 7,ea Years Ago.

A hundred dyears ago German
monarch reigned over these United
States--then colonies of Great Brit
ain--and on the whole earth, with
the exception of Switzerland, there
was not a single republic of any pre-
tensions. A hundred years ago the
French lilies floated over Quebec,
Pttsburg, and New Orleans. A
hundred years ago the old French
monarchy existed--the BastiIe rear
red It's accursed towers--Louis XIV
dallied withmfamous wantons, squan
dered his subjects money, and bias
phemed, in his own person, the name
of man. Fifty years ago the name
of Napolean was comparatively uE-
known. Fifty yyears ago cotton mills
had, as it were, just been invented;
and railroads, locomotives, and mag
netic teieg9aPhs were practically IN
known. Fifty years ago there were
scarcely Ave millions of people in the
United States, and Ohio was almost
as much of a wilderness as Oregon
is now, Fifty years ago Washing
ton had Just died, Jefferson was still
living, and Clay, Webster, and Cal
houn were names as yet unknown to
fame. @
