The Story in a Nutshell,

The Albany Knickerbocker, under the
head of Independence and Progress.
tells the story of our nations birth and
progress in the following racy style:
sit is but seventy y-seven years ago,
since Uncle Sam was born, and what an
eventful seventy-seven years they have
been! Seventy seven years ago the United
States was remote cireumsiaE ce; they
now compose the second commercial ma
,ion in the world. In three quarters of a
century they have revolutionized the world,
built up an empire. licked our mother, and
fenced in a continent. In less time than
it took Meihusaleh to get out of swaddling.
clothes, we have made more canals, tanned
more lightning, and harnessed more steam.
and al greater cost in money, than the
whole revenue of the world could have
paid for, the day he got out of his time.
In seventy five years we have not only
changed the politics of the earth. but its
wearing apparel--cotton shirts being as
much the offspring Of the United States as
the ballot-boxes and Democracy. Since
the Fourth Of July. 1776, the whole world
has been TO school, and what's better, has
learned more common sense than was
taught in the previous four thousand years.
The problem Of self government has been
solved, and its truth mado immortal as
Washington. Its adaptation to all the
wants Of the most aspiring nation has
been made most signally manifest. un-
der its harmonious working, Republic
has grown up in an ordinary lifetime. that
would have taken any other system OF
government a thousand years to have
brought about. Yes, in less time than it
takes some greenhouse plants to arrive at
maturity, we have built nation that has
spread from Maine to Mexico. and from
the Atlantic to the Paci6c--a nation tn al
has caught more whales, licked more Mex
leans. planted more telegraphio posts, and
owns more steamboats,, than any nation
that has lived, or ever will live."
