ANOTHER CENTENNIAL ANNIvERsARY-The
one hundredth anniversary of the birth of
Schiller-the great German poet and drama
tist, who wrote " The Robbers" at the age
of twenty-five, and was the author of the
Thirty Years War;" of Wallenstein" and
civilian Tell"-will be celebrated by his
countrymen and admirers all over the world,
during the present year. The anniversary
occurs, we believe, in November, but Sc
ries of grand theatrical entertainments in
honor of it will be given at Weimar during
the present month, June, and July. Cele-
brated actors from the large theatres of Ber-
lin, Vienna, Dresden, Munich, Hanover and
Stuttgart will contribute their talents to
make the occasion worthy of its object and
the company thus formed will play success
lively all the numerous dramatic works of
the German Shakespeare. Schiller has wide
English and American reputation and his
meraory will be duly honored by both of
these nationalities. His greatest works are
familiarly known by them. Coleridge and
Carlyle, especially the latter, have intro
duced him to the great world of readers
whose common language was the mother
tongue of the bard of Avon; and the Incl
dents. of his pure, devoted life, have been
incorporated by that same stern yet sweet
Carlyle into one Of the noblest biographies
in our literature

HUMBOLDT.

Coupled with the late European tidings
W hich confirmed previous rumors of war,
came the long expected announcement that
Alexander Won Humboldt-the great travel
er, the sage philosopher and humanitarian
was no more. After life ofardent devo-
ton to science and of the most splendid use
fulness to his species, he started on his last
journey, to explore the wide mysterious realm
that lies beyond the world. He died at Ber-
lin, where he had long lived the companion
of princes, the prince of philosophers and
the most revered of men, at the advanced
age of ninety years. His personal recollec-
tions dated from period anterior to our ma
tional existence. He was young man when
the American Union was first effected, and
mature one when Napoleons power vanished
at Waterloo AS Taylor says of him, he
had held by the hand Frederick the Great,
Kopstock, Schiller, Pitt, Napoleon, Joseph
ine the Marshals of the Empire, Jefferson,
Hamilton, Wieland Goethe, Herder, Cuvier,
La Place, Guy-Lussac Bethooven, Walter
Scott and in fact nearly all of the famous
personages who have flonrished during the
last seyenty-fve years. His feet had trod
and his eyes beheld all the regions of the
earth. Half century ago he traversed the
way on this continent that American empire
has since pursued, and many a stream, and
mountain, and valley and town, west of the
Mississippi river and along the Pacific slope,
now bears his imperishable name. He al
ways cherished particular regard for ourin-
sttutions, watched our history with affec-
tionate solcitude, gloried in all our worthi
est triumphs and delighted to know many of
our worthiest citizens. For this reason he
has ever been held by Americans in especial
veneration and will not be forgotten now he
is gone.
By nature, study and travel Humboldt was
made emphatically cosmopolitan man. He
he was crowning glory and representative,
and hence he has in many lands popularity
equal to that acquired by any of their own
sons. He was the priest of nature and min
istered to all her children. Yet these broad
qualities did not exclude him from the limi-
ted field of local usefulness. His great genius
comprehended minutia and details. Prussia
is largely indebted to him for many things,
and chiefly for aiding to make her one of the
most intelligent nations on the globe. Of
his extensive contributions to the fund of hui
man knowledge it does not become us to
speak. His last one the "Cosmos", condenses
into few small volumes the experience and
learning of his whole existence, and the ulti-
mate opinions of his ripened intellect. Yet
it is written in manner comprehensive to
all, and should be read by every one who
would learn the value of Humboldt's life to
his fellow beings, and the sum of all that is
known of the universe.

CRINoLINE.-Puach has ceased his long tt
rade against crinoline and hoops. After pur-
suing the subject with his utmost power of
wit and ridicule for several years, he grace
fully yielded the theme by publishing an
engraving which depicts Queen Victoria pre-
senting to dark maiden personifying India,
a most extensive skeleton skirt. The terri
BILE British scoffer has for once succumbed
Notso our own unconquerable Schnigle Fritz
whose aversion to crinoline has lately been
strengthened by a visit to the metropolis ofthe
Pacific. He returns with the most tremen-
dous argument against the spreading evil
that has yet been advanced. 1t is fixed
conviction with him that crinoline and hoops
are inimical to matrimony! Hats kept on
the back Of the head by atmospheric pres
sure have no doubt consigned many fair
maiden to perpetual virginity, but hoops are
thousand times more fatal yet to conjugal
facilities. This conviction he reduces to the
form of mathematical statement, and de-
clares that woman's chances of forming a
matrimonial alliance decrease in exact pro-
portion to the increase of her periphery. In
view of this startling fact he refers with praise
to an enthusiastic young woman who, while
recently gazing at the wonderful falls of Yo
Semitic, from an elevated point, slipped off
her crinoline and cast it a whirling sacrifice
into the leaping waters. Thus, he counsels,
should every young woman divest herself of
the Objectionable article, and throw it will
ingly into the food of public disapprobation.

A SIGN-The course pursued by the Ad-
ministration Democracy in holding separate
county conventions for the election of dele
gates to the State convention, indicates how
confident they are of another triumph. AS
a nomination is considered equivalent to an
election, they are very careful as to what
nominating material they select.
