l.lulcuilns So'Ihl condition.
my last trip across, going to Europe,
made the acquaintance of n young London
gentleman who was inclined to ridicule the
social condition Of things in America. He
said American aristocracy was founded
solely on the possession of wealth; that they
loved money so well that they absolutely
tOadicd to it. told him that he was entirely
mistaken, at least to a great degree; that the
aristocracy of America was governed more
by congcniality than by wealth For in
stance, We're he to go to reception in Amer
lea, he would find the teacher, professional
people of small means, the moderate man of
business, clerks and SO on, side 10y side with
gentlemen worth their millions, and that the
native American never loves money to that
extent that he will sacrifice his pride to OBJ
tain it. For instance, native American was
never known to wear the livery Of IL coach
man, So littl" did he care for money to the OK
tent of being willing TO deck hi, person in
brass buttons and stovepipc hat with a
cockade on it, and that We were obliged to
import En%liShmen and lrishmcn TO wear our
liverics That alone shows the difference be
tween the independent American citizen and
the millions of English Uriah Keeps Tho

Ahls Is the age OF cincinnati, The Queen

Ninety-seven years ago the first "set-

Cincinnati This was then very nice
place. The Ohio river was beautiful.
Deer creek was picturesque, with no.
BILE group of sycamore trees and a nice
little harbor for hatboats at the mouth.
Mill creek was romantic stream,
aboundingin fish, and where the spot
ted deer played. The Licking, putting
in opposite, was a river already histori-
cal, famous for its waters, its ''licks"
and its game. and the stories of blue
grass and buffalo were sufficient to sat
isfy any reasonable demand of the i'm
agination. This was a good place to
begin city, though everybody did not
know it for time The finding of
driftwood in the forks of trees twenty
feet above ground in Columbia dis
turbed the original proprietors of
that tract, and turned attention to
this point. The Cincinnati valley was

are scientific and other fanciful
people who say the great Miami river
once ran into the Ohio at this place, and
account in this way for the immense
beds or beautiful gravel and sharp sand
upon which the city stands. But how
many people know that beneath our
foundation are beds of sand as clean as
snow, and of gravel white and pure and
smooth as new eggs? This is a memoir
able day in our history, and we have
three years to complete the first century
of the city. We should by that time be
able to resume with undated energy
and hope the progressive development
of our prosperity Cincinnati CONNER
