E. C. P.
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
, One hundred years ago there was not a
single white man in Ohio, Kentucky, Ind.,
or Illinois territories. Then, what is now
the most flourishing part of America, was
as little known as the mountains of the
moon. . Itwasnotuntill769thatthehun
ter of Kentucky, the gallant snd adventu
rous Boone, left his home in North Caro
lina to become the first settler of Kentucky.
The first pioneer of Ohio did not settle till
twenty years afterwards.
A hundred years ago the great Freder
ick of Prussia was performing those ex
ploits which have made him immortal in
military annals, and with his little monar
chy was sustaining a sinle-handed contest
with Russia, Austria and France, the three
great powers of Europe combined. .
.A hundred years ago the United States
were the most loyal people of the British
Empire, and on the political horizon no
speck indicated the struggle which, a score
of years thereafter, established the great
republic ot the world.
A. hundred years ago there were but
four newspapers in America with a com
bined circulation ' not exceeding 2,000.-
Steams engines and cylinder presses has
not been immagined, and railroads and
telegraphs had not entered the remotest
conception of man. '
, When we come to look back at it through
the vista of history, we find that the cen
tury which has passed has been allotted to
more important events in their bearing up
on the hapiness of the world, than almost
any other event that has happened since
the creation.
A hundred years hence, who can fore
tell our developments and national great
ness?
A DANGEROUS TOY.
At a recent meeting of medical men in
Edinburg some statements were made in
regard to a toy. for children, which has
lately come into fashion, that are worth
the careful consideration of parents who
are tempted to purchase them for lheir
children. . It was asserted that the chem
ical toy, called "Pharaoh's Serpent," is
composed of a highly dangerous and poi
sonous sfc&stance, called the sulpko cyan
ide of mercury. Experiments have shown
that one half of a sixpenny Pharaoh s ser
pent is sufficient to poison a large sized
rabit in an hour and three quarters. A
less dose also destroys life, but takes lon
ger to so. The toy, therefore, is much too
deadly to be regarded as merely amusing;
and seeing that it can be purchased by ev
ery school-boy, and be brought home to
the nursery, st is rather alarming to
think that there is enough of poison in one
of -the serpents to destroy the life of
several children ; and the more so that
the so-called Pharaoh's serpent is covered
with bright tin foil, and much resembles
in outward appearance a piece of chocolote
or a comnt. . ii cenainiy is an anomaly in
the law of the kingdom that a grain of
arsenic can not be purchased except under
.... - ..i.
proper restnctious, ana mat sucn articles
as Pharaoh's serpents, containing as dead
ly a poison, may be sold in any quantity,
and be purchased by any school-boy or
child. ... i -
A PHILOSOPHIC NEGRO.
Who can read the following, and ques
tion whether negroes have the power of
reasoning ? We copy from a correspondent
of the Cincinnati "Commercial "travelling
in Georgia. He there came across an
aged negro, called "Old Ben," of whom
he relates this incident.
Old Ben brought us a watermelon ; and,
while we were eating, the old chattel start
ed its master by a sudden aggressive move
ment of intellectual machinery.
"Massa William ! (addressing his mas
ter), "da's one ting: if the slaves gwme
to be free, what's gwine to bekum o' de
ole folks?"
"What do you think should be done,
Ben J" said I interposingly.
"Itinkyou, Massa William, ought to
take care of 'em."'
"But," said his master, "why should I

A romantic story has recently been
published the "Love Life" of Dr Kane.
It seems that he was secretly married to a
Miss Margaret fox ; but the social position
of the lady being inferior to that of his
own family, the marriage was not publicly
reco'jnized. At his death Dr. Kane left
money in trust for the support of his wife;
but his relatives have withheld it from her,
and bronght her character into question.
This "Love Life" seems to have been
published for the purpose, in part, of vin
dicating her character.

NEED OF THE SOUTH.
The South has vast material resources,
but is destitute of skill and interested la
bor. She will remain poor until, by edu
cation and remunerative wages, she inter-'
ests her laborers in her development An
educated working-man will do as' much
work as a dozen ignorant men. Massa
chusetts, with her small amount of skilled
laborers, gets as many days' work done
as the whole South did out of her unedu
cated slaves before the war. Naturally
Virginia is the richest State in the Union;
save Missouri, really she ia one of the
poorest The difference between what
God has done for her and what she has
done for herself, is the difference between
educated and uneducated labor.
The South needs skillful and interested
labor, and her hostility towards the freed
man, her refusal to pay him remunerative
wages, her denial to him of education and
political rights is the spiteful expression
of a spirit which 'gratifies its preiudicea at
the expense of its pocket It is another
method of biting off the nose to spite the
face. Let the South eet sober, cease
cursing the freedmen, and obey the laws
ot political economy. I hen she will send
her laborers and their children to school,
will give them an equal chance in life,
will pay them fair wages for fair work, and
will thus obtain skillful, economical and
diHigent laborers, who will enable her suc
cessfully to compete with any section of
me union. Lmstian Hatcnman.
JAMES WATT'S WORKSHOP.
An Edinburg gentleman attending the
British Association at Birmingham, thus
described a visit to the house of the famous
discoverer of the steam engine :
"A friend of mine, Mr. . Kves in
James Watt's house. We were admitted
into his workroom a garret at the top of
the house. It appears he had a scolding
wife who did not like the messes and the
noise he made, so he was sent to the attic
The room is exactly as Watt left it .The
very ashes are still in the grate; ' his little
lathe has a bit of work in it ; tools lie about ;
drawing and books are in old drawers and
strewed here and there. It is a miserable
little place. Only four of us could get in
at one time. In fact, the daughter of the
house who went with us, had to tuck her
self np in all manner of shapes in order to
!revent her crinoline from sweeping aU the
etters in the corner. The house is a very
good one, and Watt was rich when he died
there ; but it is clear his wife kept him and
his little work room in the background.
The room has only been recently opened.
By the will of Watt's son it was ordered to
be left forever as the old man left it when
he last went out at its door. It was not
looked into for more than thirty years."

my lord, I am going to take boiled chicken,"
hi3 lordship immediately replied : "That,
sir, is no answer to my question ; . I ask
you again if you will take some venison,
and I will trouble you to say, yes or no.

Mr. Morrill also introduced a bill into
the Senate repealing all laws in force in
the District of Columbia which make any
distinction in regard to color, and prohib
iting the authorities of Washington and
Georgetown and the Levy Conrt of the
county of Washington from enacting in fu
ture any law or ordinance that shall not
affect alike all persons of whatever race or
color. , The 2d section takes similar action
respecting the several territories of the
United States; any officer violating such
provision is liable to a fine of $500 and im
prisonment for not less than six months nor
more than twelve. ........
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, in his'
inaugural, acknowledges that slavery was
the real foundation of the war, and that the
institution has perished; that the State
Rights theory has been overthrown ; ap
proves of the President's reconstruction
policy; thinks that the vital interests of
the State solely depend on the legislation
in regard to freedmen ; says that they must
be allowed to testify in court in all cases
where their rights of person and property
are concerned, and expresses the hope that
as soon as the public debt is provided for,
Congress will make some compensation for
the slaves manumitted by the United
States authorities. ..
Coi'STT TaEASiav Bobbed. The old safe ia
the County Treasurer's office was broken into on
Tuesday night last and about two hundred dol
lars in postal currency and lifly dollars in cents
were abstracted. The burglars cut around the
lock and removed it, probably thinking that it
could be done with Joss noise tbart by blowing
it out with powder. The tools used, a cold chisel
and a sledge, were left where the work was done
the former was new and the latter was got at -the
blacksmith of Mr. Erra Routsoo. The safe
broken open is not the one in which the eonnty
money ia kept, except for purposes of making
change, otherwise the loss would have been
much greater.
No clue has been found to the burglars, and it
is supposed that they are part of the band that
has been committing similar depredations, ia
surrounding towns. Hancock Jfjfertonian,
