One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago there was not a
single white man in Ohio, Kentucky, In
diana, and Illinois Territories Then, what
is now the most lourshing parts of America,
was as little known as the country around
the mountains Of the moon. 1t was not
until 1869, that the Hunter of Kentuck," I"
the gallant and adventurous Boone, left his
home in North Carolina, to become the first
settler in Kentucky. The first pioneer of
Ohio did not settle until twenty years after
this time. hundred years ago, Canada
belonged to France, and the whole popula-
ton OF the United States did not exceed a
million and half of people. A hundred
years ago, the great Frederick of Prussia,
was performing those exploits which have
made him immortal in military annals, and
with his little monarchy was sustaining
single-handed contest with Russia, Austria
and France-the three great powers of Eu-
rope combined. A hundred years ago, Ma
poleon WAS not born, an! Washington was
young and modest Virginia Colonel, and
the great events in the history Of two worlds,
in which these great but dissimilar men
took leading parts, were then scarcely fore
shadowed. y hundred years ago, the Unit
ed States were the most loyal part of the
British Empire, and on the political horizon
no speck indicated the struggle which within
score of years thereafter, established the
greatest republic of the world. A hundred
years ago there were but four newspapers
in America-steam engines had not been
imagined, and railroads aud telegraphs had
not entered into the remotest conceptions of
man. When we come to look back at it
through the vista of history, we find that to
the century which has passed has been alot
ted more important events in their bearing
upon the happiness of the world than almost
any other which has elapsed since the crea-
ton. Pitts. Post

BolrERs.-To those gentlemen in this Vi

party in this Countrywide have so loudly
proclaim "a devotion to Judge Douglas, and
have justified in his name all their foolish
and disorganzing movements, when ambi
tion or vindlctiveness alone acuated them,
we commend the following extract, from a
late speech Of his at Alton, Illinois. He
said

cratic party, and by its organization, and sup
port its, nominees. If there are any who
choose to BOLT the fact only shows that they

A TRUE PoRrRAIr. The Springfield
(Mass.) RepudHc0n draws the following very
correct and life-ike portrait of its party
Doubtless our readers will recognize at a
glance, for aside from the points Of resem-
blance to the Republican party generally,
there is local resemblance that must be
peculiarly refreshing in this vicinity:
The fact is, that the republican party
isn't party yet, and still worse, isn't likely
to be at present. What it needs worse than
anything else is definition of itself, dis
ciplne, Il boundary, a habitation, doors to
let the people in, walks to keep them in, and
recognized head of the house to look to as
protector. 1t has none of these things
now, but inhabits sort Of ten acre lot, halt
the bars of which are down three quarters
of the time. Iou admit one squad and
another squad escapes at the same moment,
like the Highland cheftain. 1t is 'anti-nig-
ger in St. Louis to save Mr.. Blair protec-
tionism in Pennsylvania to accommodate
Henry Carey, and save two or three Con
gressmen old fashioned whigeery in Ohio,
that Tom Corwin may make himself at
home Fillmoresm in Kentucky and Mary
land, so that Humphrey Marshall and Hen
ry Winter Davis may be reelected truck
and QUICKER in our State committee, so that
Burlngame may not be beaten, and so on
A Gardner or a straight republican, of 1857
or even a Fillmoreite of 1856, is Just as good
republican as anybody. There is no risk
in deserting, for the deserters are not shot as
they are in the democratic and every other
well regulated party"

MAGNETIC lRoN-It is stated that there
are English agents searching for magnetic
iron-in the United States, their examinations
have been principally made in Pennsylvania,
and Canada. They should explore North
California; magnetic iron abounds there; in
Humboldt county, it is very extensively dis
tributed, and perhaps the same description
Of metal extends, in various degrees Of quail
ty, to the northern limits of the continent.

WHAT DEFEATED TIE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
The PennSylpanian has an article showing
conclusivell that the hard times were the
in this Sac. Here are the facts in figures
that prove it:
Take for evidence, tie votes in the coun-
ties OF Allegheny, Beaver, Bradford, Butler,
Erie, Elk, Indiana, Jefferson, Lawrence, Nc
Kean, Mercer Potter, Susquehanna, Tioga,
Venango, Warren, Washington, Wyoming
and Wayne, in all twenty, being those in
which the question of slavery has uniformly
welded the greatest influence, and it appears
that the majority against Mr. Frost, the
Democratic nominee for Canal Commissioner
and an opeA and avowed Lecompton man,
was hut 1888 votes, whilst the same coun-
ties, in 1856, cast a majority 29,487 against
Mr.. Buchanan for President, being Demo
cratic gain IN the Free Soil counties of or
State, since 1856, Of l0,660
"Then turn to the manufacturing and
mining districts, composed of the counties OF
Carbon, Centre, Chester, Clarion, Hunting
don, Blair, Lehigh Schuylkill, Luzerne,
Montgomery, Philadelphia, Monroe, Berks,
Dauphin and Armstrong, fifteen in ALL and
it is seen that in these Mr.. Frost was beaten
by $500 votes, whilst in the same counties
in 1856, Mr.. Buchanan had 23,O6l majority,
being change 59,Gl6 votes BY deduct
ing from this aggregate the total majority
against Mr.. Frost in this State, 25 ,2S4, it will
appear that the entire change since 1856
was produced in these fifteen counties"

NUMBER 1S.
Country Papers-Their Use.

Country papers are of much more use than
the people imagine.
They aid in directing public attention to
matters in which every citizen of the coun-
try is more or less interested.
They contribute, in various ways, to the
formation of public opinion on subjects of
public interest.
They aid in giving character and impor-
tance to the county in which they are pub
lshed.
They stimulate taste for reading, and
disseminate, in the course of one year, a vast
amount of useful information which would
not reach portion Of their readers through
any other channel
They are Of essential use in family in
fostering taste for reading among children.
Country papers enjoy an advantage in this
respect over papers published at distance,
because many of their items are of local
interest which naturally attracts chid's
attention. The advertising columns of these
papers are particularly attractive to this class
ot readers.
Country papers, by the local information
they contain, are often the means of draw
ing new and valuable citizens to the county
in which they are published.
70 the objection we do not unfrequently
hear urged against the support of country
papers that the prices charged for them are
too high, it may be replied, that the price at
which the papers can be afforded, depends
mainly upon the numbers. The chief ex-
pense in the publication of paper, consists
in setting up the matter. One thousand or
even ten thousand copies can be furnished at
above that Of composition.

Gs'"" Do you send Papers home 2" asks
the Sonora Democrat, and then goes on to
say
There are great many persons in Cali
fornia that have friends in the Atlantic States
or Europe, who seldom write or even send
paper to them, by way Of letting them know
that they are still remembered--tha the
pursuit Of wealth has not sienced the voice
of affection. When urged to write they will
use some excuse, such as 81 am no hand to
write )" "Ain't got time )" I" dislike writ
mg,' or something of that sort and so they
go on, missing one of the sweetest Of earthly
pleasures, viz: that of hearing from the
friends at our old home. Now to all such
persons as we have described, who dislike
writing, or have not the leisure to do so, we
should say, Send at least one paper to your
friends" BY so doing you will confer more
pleasure on those far away than you are
aware Of 1t will assure them that they are
not forgotten although thousands of miles
intervene. The cost Of sending paper is
comparatively nothihg-but few dollars a
year-while trouble there is none."
