A Hundred Years Hence.

Some people often wish that they were
dead, and if this involved their living by
and-bye instead of now, how many will
wish it on reading the prophecy of the
Rev. Mr.. Fincke, an English clergyman
who travelled much in America ten years
ago He now ventures to tell what he
thinks is the future ''Englishry," by which
he means the English-speaking people on
the globe, century hence. He calculates
that by that time there will be one thou
sand millions of them living under the
same institutions and cherishing the same
ideas social and political, in the United
States, Canada, Australia, South Africa
and Great Britain. The S00,000,000
which he assigns to the United States will
overflow Canads, into Mexico, Guatemala,
Columbia, Bolivia and Peru, afterwards
into the valley of the Amazon, and the
whole range Of the Andes, into the islands
of the Pacific across which they will join
hands with their kindred in New Zealand
and Australia. The English settlements
in South Africa, now essentially American,
will spread over Southern Africa, pushing
the natives to the equator. The American
farmer is to furnish the type of this new
society There will be no savages or serfs,
few drones or men of luxury; all will be
able to read and to write and to use their
requirements. They will have homes of
their own and property enough of the very
best and most educative kind-that is in
land-to yield to their intelligent industry
sufficient means of support. They will
have no social or political superiors, and
will manage their own affairs. There will
be few or none looking forward to pau
pers fate. The living Of the majority
will be spent in the cultivation of their
own land on the same terms which the
American farmer now cultivates his.
Morality will in this society have ire
mendous force, because as there will be
only one morality for all, and not as now
Il separate morality for each class, it will
be supported by the opinion of all. Women
will play larger part in the work Of So
ciety than they ever have done. No pur-
suits will be favored by endowments or
bounties. The competition between ma
tons will be intellectual, not military COM
petition. Oratory, painting, sculpture and
architecture will grow under it as it never
grew before Money will be in greater use
and the precious metals have higher value
than ever. Religion will have as strong
hold as ever on the human heart. At the
head of this mighty community the United
States will stand morally though not polit-
ically. The President of the United
States will be its foremost man, and "the
predominant power will be the press

Early-Day Facts.

The first white child born in North
America was Virginia, daughter of Ana
MAS and Eleanor Dare, and granddaughter
of Governor John White. She was born
the 18th of August, 1887, in Roanoke,
North Carolina Her parents were of the
expedition sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh

history, save that of her birth.
The first minister who preached the Cos
pei in North America was Robert Hunt, of
the Church of England, an exemplary man,
who came out in the same company with
Captain John Smith, in the year 1907.
He was much esteemed as IA man of peace,
and was in many ways useful to the colony.
There is no record of his death, or of his
returning to England; he most probably
died at Jamestown He had Il good libra
ry, which was burnt, with all his other
property, in the burning of jamestown, the
next winter after he came out.
The first females who came to Virginia
proper were Mrs. Forest and her maid,
Annie Burras, in the expedition Of New
port, 1905 The first marriage in Virgin
la was in the same year-John Laydon to
Anne Burras. The ceremony was prOba-
bly, by the same good Master Hunt"
The first intermarriage between the
whites and Indians was John Rolf to Po-
cahontas, in April, 1913. Pocahontas was
also the first of the Virginia Indians that
embraced Christianity and was baptized.
The first legislative assembly in Virgin
ia met in July, 1919, at the summons of
Governor George Yeardly. One month
later negroes were first brought into the
colony by Dutch man-of-war.
The first periodical of North America
was the Boston Ne,os Letter, which made
its appearance in August, 1705 The first
in the Old Dominion was the Virginia
Gazette, published at Williamsburg, by
William Parks, weekly, at fifteen shillings.
1t appeared in 1916, and was long the only
paper published in the colony Slavery
preceded the periodical press by III years.
The Blue Ridge was first crossed by
whites in 1714. The first iron furnace
erected in North America was by Cover
nor Spottswood, in 1870, in Spottsylvania

BASEBALL BALLAD.

From the Springfield Monitor.
]. Smith is dead That fine young man
We ne'er shall see him more.
He was member of our club
Since 1864.
His private virtues were immense,
His manner free and bluff,
He wore a paper collar, and
Was never known to muff
He rarely took drink more strong
Than lemonade or pop;
He hated drunkards, and was
Magnificent shortstop.
His nose was Roman and his eyes
Continually were peeled
He made splendid umpire, and
A beautiful left field.
His hair was red, and "shiEgled close
Much sun-burned was his face;
He never shown with more effect
Than on the second base.
Being man, he had his faults
As likewise have we all,
He felt preference for the New
York regulation ball.
Though not matrimonial man,
He dearly loved a match;
And, like his sisters, had but few
Superiors ION the catch"
He had a noble mind, as exc
A very supple wrist;
And when he pitched he gave the ball
His own peculiar twist
Of politics and church affairs
He held restricted views;
His feet were usually encased
In canvass hob-nailed shoes.
But he is gone. With ms and outs
Forever he is done
He broke his heart and hurt his spleen
In making home run.
His body we have planted" but
His soul is in the sky;
The angels reached from heaven down
And took him on the fly.
