A Hundred Years Ago.

A great many events occur in hum
dred years. Within that time. Amerl-
ca has leaped forth INTO the astonishing
power that it is. One hundred years
ago, says an exchange. there was not
single white man in Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana and Illinois Territories. Then,
what is now the most fourishing part
of America was as little known as the
country round the Mountains Of the
Moon. It was not until 1859 that the
"hunter of Kentucky, the gallant and
adventurous Daniel Boon, left his home
in North Carolina to become the first
settler in Kentucky" The first pioneer
in Ohio did not settle until twenty years
after this time. a hundred years ago
Canada belonged to France. The
whole population Of the United States
did not exceed a million and half of
people. A"ilundred years ago, the great
Frederick of Prussia was performing
those great exploits which have made
him immortal in military aBraIs, and
with his little monarch was sustaining
a single handed contest with Russia.
Austria and France-the three great
powers of Europe combined. A hun
dred years ago Napoleon was not born
and Washington was a young and
modest Virginia colonel, aud the great
events in the history Of the two worlds,
in which these two great but dissimilar
men took leading parts, were then
scarcely forshadowed. A hundred years
ago the United 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 greatet
republic in the world. A hundred years
ago, there were but four newspapers
in America; steam engines had not been
imagined; and railways, telegraphs and
kilograms had not entered into the re-
hottest conception of man. When we
come to look back through the vista OF
history, we find that the century that
has passed has been allotted more i'm
portant events, in their bearing upon
the happiness of the world, thar to
almost any other which had elapsed
since the creation, A hundred years
hence. what will be the development

ANU SEM E " rs.

ACADEMY OF MusIc-THE BOHEMIAN GIRh.-A
crowded ana enthusiastic house last night attended
the performance OF this the most popular and
sparkling OF Balfe's operas. The music has become
familiar to every one In this city, professional aud
amateur and never falls TO draw large audience.
There is only one drawback to 1t, and that ls the
weak, puerile march In the market scene, where
ihe procession OF the trades comes in. IL
Is unworthy Of Balfe, even OF his worst.
An experiment was tried last evening In changing
the cast from the stereotyped distribution or charac
tiers. Neither Castle nor Campbell appeared, but
Nordblom and Hall assumed their parts. Miss Rose
Hersee was the Airline, and we must say that she
entirely surpassed even the high expectations formed
Of her. In her grace, vivacity and action she Is
somewhat ike irma, OF the opsra botte, but In ad
dtlon she has one OF those PerSlanl musical snuf
box voices which gives a perfect tone ana school
III vocal nutshell. Every note tells and
there is equanty In all the registers OF her
voice. We certainly prefer her to any airline we
have seen or heard since the days OF Louisa Pyne.
M!ss Geraldine Warren is rather TOO juvenile and
'school glrlish in appearance to do justice TO the
gypsy, although her voice IS sans 'epf0c'e. The
part requires actress OF high order OF talent,
much as Azucena in Verdls opera. Mr.. NordDom
proved himself last night the best tenor OF the com.
pany. HIS voice and style are greatly improved,
and Ia some scenes he threw energy, passion and
force into his part such as we rarely find on the
English opera stage. The role of Thaddeus has not
had such rep resentave In this city for many years
Mr. Gustayus Hail failed to replace the luimitable
Campbell In his rendering or the role or the Count.
He sang "The Heart Bowed Down. In 8 style which
let no reason for fault finding ana he acted the
part in an uDexceptlonaole manner, but that inde.
scribable charm which surrounds the voice OF Camp
bel was wanting. Still Mr. Hall Is a very worthy
artist and promises well. The oboe solo, which
precedes the above mentioned air, was supelbly
played and received enthusiastic encore. Indeed
encores were more numerous than we have ever
ira. under the direction OF Mr.. A. Reir, were all
that might be desired.
