One Hundred Years AgO--The
Wonderful Changes OF a Gem
tury.
One hundred and ten years ago there
was not single white man III Ken
lucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
Then what is now the most fiourishing
part of America was as little known
"a the country around the mountains
of the Moon. 1t was not until 1867
that Boone left his home in North Gar
olina to become the first settler Of Ken
lucky. The first pioneers of Ohio did
not settle until twenty years after that
time. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged to France, and the popula-
.tion did not exceed million and half
of people. A hundred years ago the
great Frederic of Prussia was perform
ing those grand exploits which have
made him immortal i'll history and
with his little monarchy was sustain
ing q glc-handed contest with Rus
sia, Austria and France, the three
great powers of Europe combined
Washington was modest Virginian
Colonel, and the great events in the
history of the two worlds in which
these great but dissimilar men took
leading parts were then scarcely for
shadowed. A hundred years ago the
United States were the most loyal part
of the British empire, and on the po-
Iitical horizon no speck indicated the
struggle which within a score of years
thereafter established the great repub-
lie Of the world. A hundred years
ago there were but four newspapers
in America! Steam engines had not
been imagined, and the railroads and
telegraphs had not entered into the re
motest conception of men. When
we come to look at it through the vista
of history, we find that to the century
just past has been allotted more i'm
portant events, in their bearing upon
the happiness of the world, than al
most any other which has elapsed
since the creation.-[San Francisco

ton, to notify the Attorney. General,
whose duty it should be, on such no
tice, to prosecute the offenders. The
Constitution makes it the duty Of the
Governor to ''see that the laws are
faithfully executed" Some such meas
ure as the one here recommended is
necessary to give force and effect to
this constitutional provision.
In compliance with the Cor stitution,
the last General Assembly submitted
to the people the question of holding
convention ''to revise, alter or
amend" the Constitution; and at the
October election large majority of
the voters of the State decided in IA
vor of a convention 1t is the duty of
the General Assembly ut its present
session to provide, by law, for the
election of delegates and the assem-
bling of the Convention.
The vote on the question of calling
the Convention which formed the pres
ent Constitution was taken al the DC
tober election. 1849. At the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly an act
was passed which provided for the
election of delegates to the Conven-
ton, the first Monday of April, 1850,
and the Convention was convened on
the first Monday of May following,
In conclusion, wish to make my
grateful acknowledgment to the peo-
pie of Ohio for the honorable trusts
they have confided in me, to express
the hope that the harmony, prosperity,
and happiness which they now enjoy
in such full measure may under Provi-
dence be perpetual.

mans law, hound to respect. The
spirit of Christianity is to settle this
question, and the New Testament is
the best statute book in the world by
which to regulate the price of labor.
This is too vast a question for such n
letter as this. Tie question is one
that we will have TO meet in = stern
and, perhaps, awful Struggle, and we
ought to be prepared for it.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME.
My sympathies are so strong with
the poor and those who labor at dis
advantage in the toll and moil of life,
that have pressed the duties Of EN-
ployers with some urgency. But the
other side has its duties as well as
rights, also The tendency of the
labor reform movement is towards
doing as little work rs possible for
the most wages-toward defrauding
the employer of his due, by shirking
the labor and and demanding the pay
Gradually we must come to pay for
labor by the piece. and not by the day,
and TINS measure wages, not ny time,
but work done. And the lahorer on
the farm, or in the shop, store, office,
house, who does not faithfully perform
the duty undertaken, giving the full
tale Of service according to the con
tract or understanding is dishonest.
MECHANICS PROMISES.
The dishonesty of tradesmen and
mechanics is doing their work, is most
fearfully seen in their disregard of en-
gagements. How many men who
work at trades, how many women
whose business is to make bonnets or
dresses, promise faithfully that the
things shall be done next Saturday
night, and fail to keep their promise!
In most cases they knew, when making
the promise, it would be impossible
to keep it. Or, after making it, they
took other work, which they preferred
to do, rather than lose; and so dIsap-
pointed customer of whom they were
sure, to get a new one. This 81 DIS
honest. But I will not pursue these
specifications. Ifyeu will read good
old George Herbert's lines on ''CoN-
sTANCY," you will have the portrait of
an honest mana man of honor, in
tegrity, firmness in purpose; and lest
you have not a copy of the lines at
hand, I will enclose them in this let
ter, begging you to get them by heart.

A Slanderer Answered.

Senator Conkling, of New York, in
a recent speech at Albany. made the
following just reply to the oft-repeated
charge that General Grant has been
enriched by accepting presents.
"Mr. Tilden alludes to President
Grant as one ''who has been enrich ed
by costly presents while exercising the
immense power of the Presidency" j"
This is an unqualified assertion, made
rs If upon absolute knowledge, and
yet, speaking upon all the information
have, believe it utterly unfOunded
The allegation is, that since his elec
ton to the Presidency, Gen. Grant has
been the recipient of costly gifts
Returning from the war victorious
General, and holding no civil office
whatever, he did receive gifts shower
ed upon him by a grateful people, but
he received them as the hero of many
battles, and before he was even nom
mated for the Presidency His case
was not solitary. Gen. Sherman also
received munificcnt testimonials, and
so did other generals. Gen Mcclellan
ran for the Presidency four years be
fore Gen. Grant ran; he, too, was
enriched by costly presents" given,
doubtless, in consideration Of his mil
itary services, and his political oppo
nents never cast foul aspersions on
him for it. Wellington, after Water,
loo, received presents amounting to
more than two millions of dollars.
Whether heroes, in former or in recent
times, have done we'll or i'll in accept
ing tributes from their countrymen, is
not. however, the point here be that
one way or the other, the right or
wrong is the same in all cases alike,
and since Gen. Grants accession to
the Presidency, so far as | can learn,
he has never accepted ''costly pres
ent' from any one"
