UsHERING IN THE NEW CENTURY.

USHERlNG IN THE NEW CENTURY.
The effect of New-York City's noisy welcome TO
the new century as heard at a country place the
Sound. twelve miles from the city, was remarkably
impressive. The midnight pandemonium of scream
ing steam whistles changing BELLS countless horns
and all the general uproar resolved itself into
high throbbing musical note that seemed to fill the
world just as if mighty tuning fork had struck
the universe and ELECTED tone note of jubilation
that prolonged itself Indefinitely through space
and moonlit atmosphere, While along the horizon
the far off electric lights shot up in rays and
pulsated like an aurora borealis. From the water.
from the land came the musical tone note, and,
like the deep bass in overture, the continuous
roar of the cannon made its accompaniment.
II is only in the country and the water that
really gets the impressive effect OF such a
celebration In the city the immediate local noises
quite drown the nobler sounds Half dozen penny
trumpets blown by the lusty lungs of enthusiastic
youngsters will overpower the finest chimes, and
nearby firecrackers eclipse the distant cannon
laundering from the fortiications. but out In the
quiet country and contrasted with the stiffness of
sleeping and forest the effect OF the musical
rushing of combined sounds coming suddenly
after the intense stiffness of waiting is wonderfully
solemn, especially think OF what t heralds-
a century for country, with all its wonder
full developments and changes!
