One Hundred Years to Come.
MORE ANON.

To be a hundred years ahead of time
argues newspaper enterprise. This feat
was accomplished by the Boston Daily Globe
on New Years Day, when an impression
for January l, 1881, was sent out to all its
patrons. The changes of century as dis.
closed by the current news of the day were
startling. The House of Delegates of the
Irish Republic after brilliant debate in
which references were made to the land
agitation of 1880, had passed resolution
voting $5,000,000 in aid OF 100000 Eng
lish tenant farmers. The proceedings of
Congress related to the appointment of a
chief of planetary signal bureau with head.

the repeal of the sxpatriation' act growing
out Of the imveriAl instruction of 1920,
and q subsidy to flying machines carrying
the mails between Boston and Jupiter and
between Havana and Ursa Major, and were
participated in by delegates from Cuba,
Canada and Australia. This review of the
year showed that there were already l39
States in the Union, and that if the appli.

a collision in mid.air between aerial cars on
the London and Boston route, the success
of the new play Hyper.EVolution, or the
Physical Bases of Life" and the invention
of press with capacity for printing 30O
900 newspapers an hour. Every column
bristles with extraordinary intelligence

STRANGE BUT TRUE.-TennysOn can take
q worthless sheet of paper and by writing a
poem on it make it worth $1,000. That's
genius. Mr.. Vanderbilt can write fewer
words on a similar sheet and make it worth
$50,000,000. That's capital. And the Uni
ted States Government can take an ounce
and quarter Of gold and stamp upon it
an " Eagls-bird" and Twenty Dollars"
That's money. The mechanic can take the
material worth $50 and make it int a
watch worth 800. That's skill. The mer.
chant can take an article worth twenty FIVE
cents and sell it to you for $l.00. That's
business. A lady can purchase comforta.
BILE bonnet for $40, but prefers to pay 500
for one, because it is more stylish. That's
foolishnsss. The ditch digger works ten
hours a day and shovels out three or four
tons Of earth for 81. That's labor.

DARWIN'S MAN.

Upon big old cocoa tree,
Near by the river Zambesi,
A monkey tired of play,
said to himself. I'll take look,
Into Darwins mysterious book,
And thus I'll spend the day.
A feeling strange came over him
AS his long tail wound round the limb,
ON which he fixed his stern
something moving in his blood,
1t might be either bad, or good,
Which, he was bound to learn.
He read how Darwin had at last
Found out, that in the distant past,
Man had from monkey sprung;
He then could understand how queer
He felt as if he'd taken beer,
Or been by gad-Ay stung.
Is this development? he said
Oh yes. / feel it in my head,
In my expanding brain;
The hair is loosening on my legs,
And everything of monkey dregs,
Is filed with pregnant pain.
There's something straightning me right up,
As if / were human pup,
That must begin to walk;
My tongue is changing in my mouth
And tells me that am about
To undertake to talk.
Within me there's a growing man,
According to the very plan,
In which had my birth;
At one time I'd another form,
1t might have been an ugly worm,
That crGwls upon the earth:
Which by the evolution law,
Developed into feet, and paw,
The monkey, tail and all.
feel I'm changing by degrees,
Ill be no longer climbing trees,
But walk this earthly ball.
Down FROM his seat he took leap,
As out of him began to peep,
The man that wanted air;
Out full he came, stood on the ground
Well formed, erect, but still he found,
He'd yet his tail to wear:
Near by him stood breadtree stump,
'Gainst which he stoutly rubbed his rump,
But still the tail stuck fast;
He said, this pendant is a bore,
This monkey thing, it plaques me sore,
1t shant forever last
cannot wait development,
1t is no human compliment,
Todrag this thing about:
I'll find way TO shorten it,
Each day I'll cut it off bit,
I'll never wear it out
1t was the Stone-age then of man,
Long ere the present age began
He took sharpened stone,
And giving q tremendous wall
With one huge blow cut off his tail,
Clean to the rooty bone
The wound soon healed, and forth he stood.
full made man, and very good"
The Father of the race;
From age TO age the stock improved.
In form, and brain, until endued,
With every present grace.
What man may be, no tongue can tell
When DER him comes some mystic spell,
And hidden laws have vent;
He may have wings, with which to soar
Among the stars. where thunders roar,
In his development.
If from the LIMA he has sprung,
With present brain, and heart, and lung
There is no stop to him;
He must evolve from time to time,
In every land in every cline
Once Monkey on limb.

President Garfield displays excellent
sense in his reply to an address by the
colored Republicans of Baltimore asking
for fair share of public patronage. The
President answers, thgt in applications
for public office the fitness and qualifica-
tions of the candidates would be consld-
cred, and that color, in and of itself,
would be neither a recommendation nor q
bar. That is exactly the right kind Of
talk, and it is for all the world precisely
like President Garfield. He recognizes
the absurdity of appointing man to oill-
ce, whether white or black, for the mere
purpose of recognizing a race or class,
and we are glad to know that he has the
independence and frankness to say SO.
The colored people of Maryland are more
Jealous than discreet in urging their
claims to recognition, and the pains they
have taken to gain the attention of the
President, savors more of fondness for
the loaves and fishes than it does of a
patriotic devotion to principle. The col
ored Republicans of the South. as we'll as
those Of the North, are entitled to fair
and liberal treatment in bestoWment of
official patronage, if they select the right
sort of men from among themselves; but
it is right and proper that they and others
should understand that the mere color or
q mans skin is not to be taken into ac-
count. els he honest? Is he capable?"
These are the true tests. and they should
be applied in all cases.

The Concord School of Philosophy are
making plans for the coming season.
This is the school that began under an

the coming seasonn The names Of Will

Cambridge; Mr., Wasson, Miss Peabody,

topics in discussing Platonism, but DR..
Harris aonounces in detail five lectures
on philosophy and metaphysics, and five
more on IIegel and his philosophy. Mr..
Emery will give two lectures on ''System
in Philosophy" with special reference to
the system of Hegel. German Philosophy
on literature and society during this cen
tury will be eXpounded by Mrs. Howe,
and DR.. G. S. Hall, lecturer at Harvard,
will probably be heard on the later as
pect of German scientific thought. Ger
man literature will be treated by Mr.
Sanborn, who will also devote an hour
each to American and Roman literature.
Mrs. Cheney will speak of what is some
times called ''rhe Poetry of the Future
her exact topic being ''The Relation Be
tween Poetry and Science" Mr. SniGer
