The Age Of Progression.

We find the. following article in the
Atlanta Constitution Of the lst inst. The
writer will be remembered by many
of our readers so the gallant young Brig
adler who commanded Tyler's Dates
old brigade at the close of the war. He
is the New York agent for railroads
South, and is almost an enthusiast on the
railroad subject:
EDITORS CoNsrITuTIoN-The world is
round like an apple The Caucasian
race, by means of steam and electricity,
have made the earth plsything for man
kind. We can 20 round the world ia
sixty days, and visit ell the important
places in Europe, Asia and Africa. We
eau send our thoughts by the electric
spark to any of these countries in less
than twenty-four honrs. The Greeks
were Caucasisue. Their ideas we're
Polytheistic; they had their many gods,
and while their great nationality rose,
hourished, and went down, it was but for
the race to rise again under the true idea
of Monotheism in the form of the Great
Roman Empire. Had Cesar known Of
steam and electricity, to-day the world
might be one grand kingdom.
The Caucasian race has the brain to
see, the nerve to stand, aud the will to
execute So far back as written history
goes, their watchword has been progress
sve development. Look at Columbus in
the fourteenth century. With small
boat, venturing to cross the Atlantic to
discover our continent. What man of
mind and nerve be must have been. OF
ell the heroes of our race, it strikes me
forciey be has done more for the hsppi-
ness of mankind than all other men. He
was in the transportation department.
His little family in North, South and
Central America, has grown to be some
sixty millions strong in few hundred
years. In 1903 the FIRST steamboat run
on the Hudson; and about thirty-five
years ago the first steampshp crossed
the Atlantic. About 1880, forty years
ago, the first railroad was constructed
in America. From that time to the
present, the strides Of progress have
never been equaled by man. We have
Quilt our fifty thousand miles of railway.
Every State is covered with perfect net
work OF reticulstions, leading in every
direction. Very soon we will have the
whole railway system perfected by con-
solicitations, so that the merchant or
traveller can ship through from New York
to New Orleans or San Francisco with
out change of cars or breakage of bulk.
The Virginia and Tennessee Air Line is
one of the great natural routes from the
North to the South. while the Green
Line cuts it at right angles from the
West to the seaooard. Civilization
means to toll, labor and work, ard pro.
gression is the American watchword for
freedom in this age of steam and light
Ring Very respectfully,

Soliciting Agent Railroads South.

How the world May be Destroy ed.

How the World May be Destroy ed
Astronomy, in conjunction with OPP
tics, has been making some extraordin-
sry discoveries in the last few months.
The spectroscope is O wonderful aid to
the telescope, and as the latter brings to
view distant worlds, the former indicates
the materials of which they are made.
The late eclipse of the sun demonstrated
that immense volumes Of hydrogen gas
strstch upward hundreds of miles above
its surface, making reality of the oceaps
Of fiame which have often figured in by
perbole. -.
A thought had occurred TO us in this
connection, which we venture to COM
mend to the attention of our astronomi-
cal and geological friends. II is well
kaown fact in geology that in past pc.
RODS vastly greater heat has pervaded
the earth than at the present time. The
fora and fauna of q tropical climate
flourished at the poles. Scientific men
h. We been Ingenious in speculations about
the cause of the change. Some have as
cribed it to the internal heat of the earth,
which has been gradually evolved in sue
cessive ages. Others have attributed it
IN a different relation of the axis Of the
earth to the plane of the ecliptic. Pos
sibIy others may have suggested change
;p the internal constitution of the SUP,
though we do not remember to have seen
il in our limited reading. But the phe
nomenon finds an easy solution on this
hypothesis: :, u,
During the last year small star in the
constellation of the Northern Grown sud
denly became bright as star OF the first
magnitude. Astronomers at once re-
sorted TO the telescope TO explain the
mystery, but could find only eonhrma-
ton of the fact, with no hint of its cause.
Ontieians applied the spectroscope, and
at once the mystery was revealed. A
vast ocean of hydrogen was IN haue,
ana its combustion melted the small star,
one of the most brilliant 10 the hrma-
ment. The mathemsticisns took up the
data given Them ia the increase OF light,
and proved that for any worlds OF which
dis star may be the central SUP, there
mast have been an increase of heat 10
seven hundred and eighty times the nor
ma! stan1srd. II these worlds are made Of
similar materials with our earth, they
r,pst have dissolved under this intense
heat az in the 6nsi catastrophe of our
globe predicted by Peter. >,
Oar ,hoaght, then, is simply thss, II
by internal changes, or combustions IN
the central sun, the condition of all the
planets must be sensibly affected; and,
H our sun is liable tn such changes ss
,b,s star in the Northern Grown Ave know
Il haS untold volumes of hydrogen above
tbs surtsce), why may not the former ex-
treme hest Of the earth have bseR due
simriy to stpospheric changes in the
o,u2 And WHY may they not occur on a
isrser scale in toe future, herslding in

Another Expedition TO the EOrti,
Pole.

The New York Herald publishes the
following from Captain c. F. Hall:
l have been engaged for most of the
time during the last ten years in the Arc.
tic regions searching for survivors of Sir
John Franklin's expedition. During that
time lived with the Esquimaux and be-
came fully accustomed to the dress, food
and general life of that people.
From information gained of the Esqui.
maux and from what / discovered my
self, at least (so late as the spring OF
l860) / became fully satisfied that not a
man of Sir John Franklin's expedition
survived, and thus the great motive OF
my mission was cancelled. However, |
sscertained beyond all doubt on my mind
that there we're survivors-smong whom
was the heroic Crozier-down to 1856
and 1857.
/ now have returned to my country,
determined to devote my hard earned ex-
perience in the Arctic regions to making
one more voyage, and this for the special
object of geographical discovery from
latitude eighty degrees nerth M to the
North Pole, by way of Jones Sound, or
Smiths Sound, purposing, however, to
make trial first up the former.
My plan, in brief, ia to have two small
vessels of about $50 tons each-one a
steamer, the same to be sailing rugged, the
other sailing vessel, and each officered
and manned by twelve men.
My purpose is, on getting into the
Arctic regions, to lose no opportunity of
acquiring the fresh provisions of the
country, which course will insure my
command against ell possible danger
from that curse to Arctic expeditions,
the scurvy. As general thing my
staple diet, aud so Of my company, will
be as formerly-rsw meat and train oil
confidently believe l will be able to
reach the North Pole and return in three
years; but should find that it would re-
quire one or two additional years to COM
plete the object of the voyage and travel
/ will continue that time.
The whole civilized world is deeply in
terested in the subject of geographical
discovery to the North Pole, and expedi-
tions have really, from time to time, been
trying to reach that point for over three
centuries
truly believe that if Congress and
Government will aid me in the small ex.
pedition required land / am about to 60
to Washington to try fer this aid) the
stars and stripes of my country will soon
have the good fortune and honor of dis
covering and possessing new world,
embracing all the meridisns Of this great
and glorious globe, the whole of which
was, 10 truth, the gift of God to man over
six thousand years ago, and for man to
subdue. Q. Il. HALL.

Joke on Greeley.
Washington Cor. Cleveland Leader.l

Washington Cor. Cleveland Leader.l
You remember that in the New Yorl
Constitutional Convention, year or two
ago, Horace was Chairman of the Com
mittee on Woman Suffrage. He is in tht
van of all other reforms, but from some
cause an antagonist of this. Perhaps
the statement of the fact that Mrs
Greeley is vehemently in favor of it may
be an explanation. Nevertheless, the
white coated philosopher brought in q
report adverse to woman suffrage. Now
it happeaed that Mrs Stanton and Mrs.
Greeley are dear friends, and Mrs. Stan
ton was at Albany when Horace reported.
Instanter she telegraphed to Mrs. Horace
to get up petition of one thousand
women, head it herself, against the report
refusing woman suffrage, informing her
what her husband had done. The next
day it came; and amidst the roars of
laughter Of the convention and the gal
leries, and to the surprise and chsgrin of
Horace, this petition, indorsed from
Mrs. Horace Greeley and a thousand
others" was read. The white hat and
coat vanished in search Of that irveter-
ate Mrs. Stanton" She was found. The
following dialogue ensued:
Greeley-"Good morning, Mrs. STAN
ton"
slsntOR-"Good morning, Mr.. Gree
ley"
Greeley-"Did you induce MY wife to
send that Internal petition herer'
S.anton-"I kept her posted about
your unconstitutional proceedings, Mr.,
Greeley.
GreeleY-"Well, madam, / have al.
ways been your friend"
Stanton" And yours, Mr.. Greeley"
Greeley" But l won't stand such
treatment"
SlAnton-"I have outwitted you,
haven't /, Mr.. Greeley 2
Enraged at this bit Of bitter interroga-
lion, Greeley replied: "Mrs. Stanton, so
long IS live end control the Tribune,
he name Of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
shall not appear in its COLUMNS"
And to this day it has not; but as ifto
belittle her assumed independence, you
will often, very often, fnd in its columns
that Of Mrs. d. .. Stanton.
