JUNE 9, 1881, is the one hundreth ami
versary of the birth of George Stephenson,
the inventor of the locomotive. AN inter-
esting sketch of the life of this great
pioneer of railway development has been
published from which it appears that the
poverty of his parents was such that when
but eight years of age he was employed
by a widow to take charge of her COWS for
the sum of two pence day. AS he grew
older be labored at different sorts of farm
work, but, while still in his boyhood, was
employed in various capacities at a col
liery. At seventeen his skill enabled him
to earn more money than his father, but
his early years had been passed in sue h
of nineteen he was unable to write his
name. In his leisure hours he pursued
arithmetic and other studies, besides en-
deavoring to turn an honest penny by cob
bling and by cleaning clocks. When about
twenty one he married Fanny Henderson,
a servant in the farm house at which
he boarded. The death of his wife occur
red in 1904, and serious financial difficult
ties subsequently haras sed him, but his
well-known skill continued to find exer-
else in various fields, the chief of which
was irlproving colliery appliances. 1t de-
sefves To- be remembered that he also in.
vented a safety lamp, considered by
many to be superior to that produced by
Cir Humphrey Davy, and that in pursuing
the expert ments which led to its perfec-
tion, he repeatedly he zarded his own life,
1t Is impossible in our limited space to
give even brief abstract at the tremen-
dous opposite ion he encountered when ne
nronosed to build locomotive that would
travel twelve miles an hour. The civil
enpineers declared that it would be I'M
nossible to make such an engine move on
rails at all, and that even II
IT could be put in motion 1t
would be driven back by the wind ana
could not compete for speed with the
canal boats. The public considered him
rattle- bra ined enthusiast, and even so dig
niaed a periodical as the Quarterly Reviea
said in referring to his proposition
.sTwelve miles an hour! AS well trust
one,s self to be fired off on CongreVe
rocket.u No amount of ridicule or hos
tunv. however, could quench the indomi
table resolution of George Stephen son
and on September 10, 1880, he amazed TIT
world by driving locomotive at I'M
rate of thirty-six miles an hour ate
which feat his life is record of triumph
after triumph. A noticeable proof oil nj
uuwaveriug faith in the ultimate success
of his projects is furnished by his state
mept that the time would come when
would be cheaper for workingman 7

, foot. Unfortunately human nature Is ye

A grave problem arises here for solution,

to be a WEALTHY people before the war. So
we were but we lost, according to the best
estimates, about S2,000,0 ,0O0, 900 in tho val

and it was gone forever. That impoverish

True, we issued Confederate bonds and
botes they were paid out for our substance,
but at the end Of the war they were rcpudi.

We. lost, then, not only two billions in slaves,
but we lost about two billions more in tho

we lost immense amounts in the destruction
of property by the armies outside of what,
was necessary to teed aud clothe them.-
But that was not all. AT the end of the
