Tho Twentieth Century.

"For 400 years the human race has not
made step but what has left its plain
vestige behind. We now enter upon
centuries. The Sixteenth century will
be known as the age of painters, the
Seventeenth will be termed the writers,
the Eighteenth the age Of philosophers,
the Nineteenth the age of apostles and
prophets. To satisfy the Nineteenth
century it is necessary to be the painter
Of the Sixteenth, the writer of the Seven.
teenth, the philosopher Of the Eighteenth,
and it is necessary. like Louis Blanc. to
have the innate and holy love of human.
ity which constitutes an apostolate, and
opens up prophetic vista in the future.
''ln the Twentieth war will be dead,
the scaffold will be dead, and animosity
will be dead, royalty will be dead. but
man will live. For all there will be but
one country-that country the whole
earth; for all there will be but one hope
that hope the whole heaven.

fury which ,shall own our children, and
which our children shall inherit!"-

A DASTARDLY DEED.

The Tuscarora Times. Review of April
Odd says: A dastardly attempt at as
sassination was made upon Superinten-
dent Price and Geo. W. Pelteir about
half past 2 o'clock this morning, by ex-
ploding dynamite under their bedrooms.
The FIRST explosion took place under the
corner Of Mr.. Prices bedroom, blowing
up the woodshed and wrecking the fur
ture inside the building, and shaking
that gentleman up considerably. About
two minutes later the powder under Mr..
Peltier's room exploded. 1t was here
that the greatest damage was done.
Nearly the whole side OF the house be-
ing torn out. the bedstead broken to
pieces and the whole interior of the room
wrecked, and Mr.. Peltier thrown out of
bed
Whoever fred the blasts must have
been pretty well acquainted with the
surroundings and also the interior Of the
rooms, as the charges were placed nearly
or under the beds OF both gentlemen.
That under Mr.. Peltier's was probably
the largest and the fuse lit first as the
fuse found there was about l6 feet long
while that at Mr. Prices was consider
able shorter.
The only theory advanced as to how
the parties escaped with their lives is
that the force Of the explosion was down
and that the heavy spring mattresses
broke the conclusion.
There is no clew except that Mr.. Pei.
tier was warned by party month OF
two ago that an attempt would be made
ON his life, but no attention was paid t.
the warning. The superstition is that il
is the work Of hired assassin.

"lady friends. The word woman" is
not in disgrace; the word Lady" is sadly
abused,
The trouble is, however, the desire to
couple ones occupation with personal
description OF ones self. Therein lies
the absurdity. The word lady is de.
scrptive Of the personal qualities of her
to whom it is applied. 1t is entirely
apart from her occupation, OF other acct.

roundings will not make her anything

attention whether she is called "lady"

If she is proud of anything-just as a
gentleman would be proud of his man.
