OXE HUNDRED YEARS AGo-Me Won
deJM Changes Of Il Cmtmy.-Ouc hundred
and ten years ago there was not single white
inan in Keu.acky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
Then whit is tho most flourishing part Of
America was Us little known as the country
around the mysterious mountains Of the moon.
1t was not until lTG7 that Boone left his home
in North Carolina to become tho first set
tier III Kentucky. Tho first pioneers Of Ohio
did not settle until twenty years after this
time. a hundred years ago Canada belonged
to France, and the population did not exceed
million and half Of people. A hundred
years ago tho great Frederick Of Prussia was
performing those grand exploits which have
made him immortal in military annals; and
with his little monarchy was sustaining a sin.
glc.handcd contest with Russia, Austria, and
France, tho three great Powers of Europe com.
tintd. Washington was modest Virginia
Colonel, and tho great events in history of tho
two worlds in which these great but dissimi-
lar men took loading parts werc then scarcely
foreshadowed. a hundred years ago the
United States were tho most loyal part Of tho
British Empire, and on tho political horizon
70 speck indicated the struggle which within
q score of years thereafter established the
great republic of the world. A hundred
years ngo there were but four newspapers in
America Stcam.cngincs had not been ilnag;
incd, md railroads and tclcgruphs had not
entered into the rcmotest conception Of men.
When wc come to look back at it through the
vista of history We find that to tho century
lust past has been ilottGd more important
events in their bearing upon the happiness of
tho world than almost any other which hos
elapsed since the creation.
