One Hundred Years AGO.

One hundred and ten years ago,
there was not single white man in
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Then, what is now the most flourish
ing part of America, was as little
known ais the country around Tire
mountains of the moon. It was not
until 1TG7 that Boone left his home in
North Carolina, TO become the first
settler of Kentucky. The first pioneers
Of Ohio did not settle until twenty
years after this time. n hundred
years ago, Canada belonged to France,
and the whola population did not ex
ceed a million and half of people
A hundred years ago, the great Fred
rick of Prussia was performing those
great exploits which have made him
immortal in military annals, and with
his little monarchy was sustaining q
,ingle-handcd contest wi h Russia.
Austria and France, and three great
powers of Europe combined. A hun
dred years ago, Napoleon was not
born, and Washington was modest
Virginia Colonel, and the great events
history, of the two worlds, in which,
these great but dissinilar men took
leading parts, were then scarce y for
,hadowcd. a hundred years ago, the
United States were the most loyal
part Of the British empire, and on the
political horizon no speck indicated
he struggle which within a score OF
years thereafter, established the great
republic of the world. a hundred
years ago, there were but four newspa-
pers in American. Steam engines
had not been imagined, and railroads
and telegraphs had not entered into
the remotest conception ofman. When
we come to look back at it through
the vista of history, We find that to the
century passed, has been allotted more
events, in their bearing up
on the happiness Of the world, than
most any other which has elapsed
since the creation.

Joining with the Massachusetts manu-
featuring in putting the duty on wool
so low as to prevent its growth in the
West, while the articles manufactured
from it are sold at a large profit in
consequence of the high rate of duties
imposed on the important article.
1t is no wonder the New England
manufacturers get enormously rich,
when by the inn osition oflow duties
on the raw material, they force the
wool growers to take the very lowest
price for their wool, and by the impo-
sitiun of high duties on the manufac-
tured article, they force the people to
pay the very highest price for it. 1t
is for this policy, voted for and advo-
Gated by Gov Hayes, that the people
of the sheep-raising and wool-growing
regions of the State are opposed to his
By this discrimination
against the West, on the part of a
Congress. hundreds upon hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been lost to the people of Ohio during
the last two years. In the counties OF
the Reserve tens of thousands of sheep
were slaughtered during the last Win
ter because the expense of keeping
them far exceeded the value of the
wool that could possibly be produced
from them. On many of the farms
might be seen huge piles of sheep car
cases thrown together to rot, fit only
to be used for manure. When Gov.
Hayes goes around this summer MAX
ing political speeches, and asking the
people to vote for him, he should be
shown these monuments of his folly
and inoratitude to his own State in

Ben. Butler.

We take the following from a Wash
ington letter to the Commercial in re-
lation to Ben. Butler:
The mistake of the public and press
in estimating Butler is their attempt
to measure him by the doctrines of
the New Testament He is not to be
admired in this way Butler is world
ly, the worldliest man in America, and
is to be computed wholly by the laws
Of physical dynamies. You can not
put him down with spoons or sermons.
He will live in spite of, and, if you
choose, upon abuse, and flourish yig-
orously, and make a figure in the
country for twenty years yet. Danton,
Mirabeau. Commodus, and the devil
leave-o out some of his qualities. He
