THr Irish World says 1T is a
popular error to suppose that Chi
ma is the most densely populated
country in the world. BY the lat
est estimates it is calculated that
the Chinese Empire had a popula-
ton of 50 to the square mile. The
census of 1881 gives British India
3ll1 to the square mile. To Bel
gi,m belongs the honor of being
the most thickly inhabited nation
on earth, the census of 1850 show
ing the population TO number with
in a fraction of 4S2 to the square
mile. The United States is about
IA and Canada not quite two, the
latter being the most sparsely pop
ulated territory Of which we have
any statistics.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO

VIZ - - " ~ - AR~~@| @~A@@SO -
On the first day ofthe new year.
or or the expiring days Of an old
one, the time is propiti,us in which
to take retrospective view, letting
the mind run back one hundred
years, or to the era which marked
the birth Of our country. History
and experience are given us as eyes
and aids by which we can facilitate
our progress through lie. Ii
through them we cannot peer
through the veil separating the
present from the future, they will
at least, ii judiciousIy employed,
enable us to anticipate the incvita-
able and be prepared to meet it.
An hundred years is not a very
long period, and yet but very few
lives cuver the span Of Il century.
Let the reader but turn his memo
ry back an hundred years and see
W ere the United States was then,
/. I. in what condition. Why.
one hundred years ago the United
States did not exist under its pres
ent Constitution. Indeed it was
not until September 1887, that the
Constitution was adopted in Con
veniion, and the first G ngress I'M
der the constitution did not con
vcue until March. 1889, which
congress met in New York.
An hundred Years ago the Ma,
tionaI Capital was on wheels. The
congress of the revolution met at
PhiIadelphis, on September ),
l774. On December -, l776, it
fled before the advance of the
British and MT at Baltimore on
February -, III, On the l4th
Of September Of the same year, It
rallied at Lancaster. but was dis
persed by the British four days
later, and reconvcncd at York,
wh,ra it stayed all winter In Ju-
ly, 177S, it went back to the Quak-
er city. After the war, congress
suddenly adjourned to Princeton,
\. D.. but Il month Of the Prcsby-
terian college was enough, and il
returned. Inthe struggle to locate
the capital at last, no less than
twenty-tour aces were candidates,
including New York, Trenton,
Newport. r l., Kingston, up the
Hudson, Wilmington, Del, and
York, Chester and Germlntown,

Capital of the Nation was estab

! preaching a new figure. Next
Wedn sday night, at II o'clock,
the year 1854, will be numbered
with those Of the past. Thursday
next a new book. with unmarked
and unblemishcd leave, and pages
will be supplied us, in which to
make our record and keep our NOR
al accounts. Let each and all Of
us resolve within ourselves to re
turn our b ,ok to the Great Givcr,
on the lst day Of January, 1885,
spared without fear or missiv-
ing5.
New Years Day should be looked
upon by all travellers to eternity, as
a mile stone, indicating that we are
fast approaching our resting points
that soon our limbs will refuse
to carry our mortal forms farther,
and that the time when our spirit
ual bodies will dIssolyc connection
with our mortal bodies is speedily
crowding upon us.
The year Just passing away has
been an evcntful one, forming a
peculiarly interesting epoch in the
history of our country. An elec-
tion has taken place, which in mag
nitude and effect might be called
revolution. And such it was, bnt
of the American type. fought by
force of reason and brain munition.
Let us hope that the result will
equal the expectations Of the most
patriotic OF the victdrs, and dlaap-
point those whose souls are bitter
with righteous approhensions.
Since last New lear's Day,
many mounds have assumed shape
and form in our cemeteries, be-
meath which lie thousands Of thou
sands, who, year since fottered
themselves and friends, that they
would live to enjoy many returns
Of ;he Anniversary. But disease,
accident, epidemic, etc, have,
through the Providence of God,
dissipatcd the hopes Of man, thus
eXemplitying the truth Of recorded
inspiration, Man proposes, but
Sod disposes." AS the Old Year
passes away, and while greeting
each other on the morn OF the New
\ ear, it behooves lis who have
been spared, to look these consid-
erations in the face, and mark out
for ourselves, programmes which
shall govern us as we travel on
with the calender OF 1885.
Let US then on Wednesday night
and Thursday morning open the
portals otour hearts, and send from
( thence all garnered cares and un-
kind thoughts, and give humble
and heartfelt thanks to the Creator
/ that our lives have been spared,
And for the manifold blessings
which he has vouchsatcd unto us
taat while many have been the

Battle Scared Veterans.

| frank confession 81 Mr.. Turner, Of
Kentucky, that he had been beaten
by one legged soldier when no
two legged man could be found 10
beat him in the race for Congress,
suggests some inquiries about the
men in Congress who know how
cold lead feels. There are two
men in the House now who have
lost limbs upon the battle ield.
and one or more in the Senate,
while there are perhaps twenty
who were wounded III the war.
Mr.. Oates. of Alabama, carries an
empty sleeve, having lost his right
arm in front Of Richmond in charge
Of Confederate regiment, and
having been wounded no less than
six times during his war service.
Mr.. Henderson, Of Iowa, walks
with a wooden leg, having lost his
LEG at the battle of Corinth. while
serving as an officer in the Union
army Only Il cl Sc observer
would note the fact that he walks
with an artificial leg, and but few
days ago a gentleman lost a bet
which he had made against the as
sertion that Mr.. Henderson had
losta leg. In the senate, each of
South Cardinals Representatives.
Senators Butler and Hampton, has
had the experience OF parting with
a leg, though only one. Senator
Butler, lost his in the war He
left his in the field Of Brandy Sta
ton in 1868. 1t is odd that man
whose bravery no one doubts
should have served through the
war of the rebellion and come ont
whole, to lose his leg by being
thrown from horse. but this is
The experience of Wade Hampton,
also OF South Carolina. Each Of

of service, could not use the ordi-

was obliged to content himself
with a plain wooden coutrIvance
