HUMBoLDT.-We clip tie follow
ing beautiful tribute TO the once great.
est thinker of the world-Humboldt /:
Tuesday, in all civilized lands, men
celebrated the centennial anniversary
ofthe birth of Humboldt. Wherever
the Toutonic blood is represented,
wherever the Anglo-SaXon race has
penetrated, wherever the'f English
language is spoken, either in formal
public demonstration or in the
thoughts of men, there was paid a
tribute to him who was at once the
worlds foremost student and first cit
izcn. ..f r.
Citizen of the world-that title
Humboldt deserves above all Others.
This nation or that could give him
rank, but this highest rank of all was
his because he could wear and honor
it. Hence his fame Is not the property
of the nation alone, but belongs to the
human race. How much of his cos
moplitan breadth of character we are
to ascribc tonature's most liberal en-
dowment, and how much to those
vast researches with which he fillet
Il long life,.we need not ask. 1t was
ut once his fortune anu his delight t.
he n citizen Of the world, and ;
thorough student of the world. NJ
other genius, since men first began t.
think on this planet, has illuminated
80 much of what was dark before II,
other student, searching SO widel.
with impartial clearness of vision
has contributed so much TO our stor
of knowledge. Both for his unequal
led contribution to science, and fu
that. grandeur and breadth of charaC
ter which make him equally honorc
in all lands where science is cultiva
ted or organized, it Is fitting that II
should he remembered with homo
not only by those of kindred race
but 10y all who can, ever so impe
icctly, forget the narrow bonds of III
tivity or nationality, and realize I'll
brotherhood of mankind. Others, |
public tributes, have spoken with ju
tcc of his services and his characto
but the press, recording the events
the time, may well note, rs not Il
least of them in significance, the IA
that the birthday of such n man
Humboldt was so widely honor
and his worth so widely rccongni2c
BY the contemplation of such cha
