were present. Upon Gen. Grant's call
apwrtTiMdr. in-tbe snrins? of 1869. for
aid in the management of Indian affairs,
this committee was organized to bring
the society in all parts or the Union in
to harmonious workinir. and enable
Friends everywhere to assist the Gov
ernment. All the present Indian Barents
in the Central Superintendence were
appointed by the Government 'upon
nomination of this committee. Super

days, and haye presented fall reports
or their work and sanation, valuable
sUtiatleA relating to thB-indtuAriai, ed
ucational and religions interests, of the
trlbCoJ'Were collected, and the commit
tee nave thus received fresh capacity
and zeal for their work. Their organi
zation is thorough, Including -four
standing--a'ub-omiaittsea. viz on in
structlon, the reiigioua interests of the
Indians, inffnatrlal 'pursuits, and tho
Yrssbinrton committee. the lost for
conference with the United States au
thorities at the eeat.Trf crovcrnment.
One of their number, Pr-,Wm. Nichol
son, is also a salaried general agent of
the committee, rcsideruin this city, and
is employed in testing the qualifications
of Friends who may apply, or may be
proposed, for situations within the Cen
tral Bupeilntendencr, and otherwise co
operating with the Superintendent and
agents in their civilizing work.
We learn that tie most encourasrinir
circumstaBces developed at this meet
ing were the peaceable conduct and ap
parent intentions of the Cheycunes and
Arrapahoes, and other tribes recently
roving over tbe plains, fclunflerinir and
murdering settlers and travelers, and
the progress made during the past year
in their settlement upon reservations,
and the indubitable proof Of the practi
cability of briDging the Indians under
the power and into tho life of the Chris
tian religion. The rcstlts in this re
spect have been especially encouraging
in the mission among the Oltawas aud
neighboriBST tribes, under i care of Asa
C. Tuttle and wife, the Jtattcr recently
icacner or a puDiic scnooun tins city,
where many conversions to Christ baye
taken place, and- a greatly improved
condition, morally and Industrially, is
apparent, in other parts or the supcr
intendency preparations have been
made for similar labor, which will -be
vigorously prosecuted as soon .as the
additional -christian Workers required
aro secured- n
The Held least encouraging to the
cohimittee appears to be-the Kiowa and
Jommanche Agency, where any eHorts
at civilization are greatly obstructed by
tbe proximity or militaiy posts, garri
soned by- hundreds of immoral men,
and of tbe .Texan country, which the
Indians claim has been, wrested from
their possession without consideration,
and over which they persistently claim
the right to roam and jrnake reprisals.
But evcif.al this asreaeyv.a school of
about twenty pupils lia bejen conduct
ed durirui tbe past tenmonths, with
marked success, and tho principles of
Christianity taught. Most of these pn
pile are from the tribes; settled on the
w aetata river. Tbe f ncuds are anx
ious to promote their work-in ibia .dis
trict by securing a divorce of tbe mili
tary post and agency and as the sol
diers at fort biU are stationed there
not for .tho purpose of guarding 'their
people, but to prevent tho incursions of
tne Indians into Texas, they believe tho
purpoacs of the Government would be
as well or better fulfilled by removal of
tne troops to tbe other side of tho ited
river.
t We Blso learn' with satisfaction that
tbe religious exercises of the meetings
of the committee, in which tho super
intendent and agents joined, have been
frequent, and strengthening to all.
The day was opened with the readiag
or b selection of scripture, followed by
a season of devotion, in which' vocal
prayer to the Lord was generally
raisod, that he would guide the deli
berations and confirm the judgments oi
the meeting, and glorify himself in the
wor or his servants

JILTXLfeT 05 SPIRITUALISM.

decidedly poor opinion of spiritualism,
Being invited a while ago to assist in
the investigation of tho performance of
a medium, he responded sharply as tol
lows

this imitation of tho Council of the
Itialectical Society, to co-operate with

THEJf ASD NOTfa
Five and thirty years since, New
York suffered by a conflagration then
estimated as having cost ber little less
than i 4O,0O0,0U). Now, Cblcaeo has
suffered under a similar visitation, to
the extent, as at present estimated, of
idij,uuj,uuu.
Then, there was a decided tendency
toward the creation of a eanic, but a
few kind words from the President of
the United States Bank, combined with
a little judicious assietanee, did mncb
toward cAstioff oil on tho troubled wa
ters, and at tbe close of a very brief period,-tho
matter had almost passed
from the recollection of all but tho an
fortnnate individuals on whom loss bad
fallen.
Now, bears are rampant, threatening
loss and commercial trouble, and labor
ing .with all their energies for the de
struetion of their neighbor's property
tnus producing a state or rear calculated
to aggrandize the few who have money
to lend, at the loss of many who .have
need to borrow and it is with a view
to A soonteraction of their efforts in
this- direction that we here furnish a
comparative view of the condition of
the country then and now, as follows
Then, our whole population was but
15,000,000; now It is 40,000,000.
Then, the whole property of the
conn try could not have exceeded $5,
000,000,000, and it is very doubtful If it
reached even that amount. Now, it
exVeBai;S3O,O00,O00;0OO; and 'were al
lowance made for the labor saved by
the .hundreds throughout, the country,
it might bo set down as being ten fold
greater than in the former period.
Then, our iron product was but 250.-
000 tons, and our whole consumption
330,000 ton 8. Now, ourproductlon has
reached 2,000,000 tons, and our total
consumption 2500,000.
Then, i the coal mined east and west
could scarcely have exceeded 1,500,000
tons, .Now, it has grown to
nearly :30,000,000, the application of
four-fifths 'of which is in tbe direction
of economizing human labor and ele
vating the laborer.
Then, we worked tip 200,000 bales of
eotton. Now, we do the same by 1,000,
000 bales, nearly tho whole of which Is
consumed at home by those who labor.
Then, our woolen manufacture was
confined almost entirely to the torn
monest products of the loom. Now, it
embraces, almost eyery description of
goods, to the very finest; its amount
pproaching to nearly SO.OOU.OOO.
men, uie majority ot our people
were but poorly clothed. Now, they
are by far tho best clothed population
In the world.
Then, we had 1,000 miles of railroad.
Now, we have more than 50,000.
Then, the lake and river ship build
ing of the West was scarcely known.
Now.it reaches a 100,000 tons per an
num.
Then, we lived nnder Ilia rcrlmo of
President Jackson's Western and South
ern wildcat banks, busily engaged in
contracting obligations that wore never
to be redeemed. Now, every note of
every bank in te Union Is gladly re
ceived at every counter of erory (hop
in every State.
Tben, we mined but very uttie or tne
precious' metals, and our total coinage
for the year was bnt $5,000. Now, our
prodnot of these metals is f JO,uJU,UOU.
..xuan, onr banks were pretending to
pay specie; doing this with a fall
knowledge that it was a pretense and
nothing more, and that a foreign de
mand might at any moment eauso them
to fall of payment. Now, onr omraor
cial system is base! on greenbacks, not
likely to be withdrawn or rednsed In
quantity, and always available for overy
eommercial purpose.
men, tuose who desired to replace
their commodities and machines de
stroyed were J n a great measure com
pelled to look abroad, thereby adding;
to tne demand for t nose precions met
als of which so small a quantity could
do round in tne vanus or tne acnKs.
Now, nearly all of these supplies are to
bo obtained at home, making large de
mands on our mills and workshops,
and giving to our own labor the em
ployment wnicn before bad been given
to that of England.
Then, tbe blow was struck; at the
heart of the commercial tree, and Its
effect was felt in every village,' town
and elty of the Union. Now, it is bnt
branch that bas been affected, leaving:
nine-tenths Of the body almoet as it bas
stood Deiorc.
.Then, Insurance as now carried on,
was scarcely known, as a conseqnenee
of which an immense proportion of the
loss was to bo borne by New York her
self. Now, It is so scattered from Lon
don to San Francisco as to cause the
weight in any individual quarter to be

KEW EXPLOSIVE AGEST C05DEX5ED
i .AM PORTABLE EaBTHQUAXES.
i Since the discovery of nltro-srl vcerine
much time has been spent in compound
ing a new agent, which should equal it
i power and, unlike it, prove a safer
matcriat to transport from place to
place, and require less care in its use.
Dualine and dynatic have already ap
peared as substitutes, but these have
not fully met tho requirements to make
their use nonular. But if we are not
mistaken, a new explosive agent jost
brought to the notice of our business
men, fully answers the purposes of a
cheap and ready lithofracteur. It has
the appearance or light brown sugar, is
not afleeted by heat or cold, and not
liabia to explosion through friction or
sodden concussion.
On Saturday afternoon the owner -of
the compoundV Mr, E. Pa son Smith",
gava aeries or interesting experiments
to exhibit its powers, lhe spot select
ed for the tests was the vacant Jot just
east of the Jargs fitetory of Mr. Hiles,
oa Park street, lhe material was con
vsyed to the ground in tin boxes, tbe
smallest containing charges of one
onnce, the next in size four ounces, and
the largest one pound. Three bars of
railroad iron, several sections- each
about fifteen inches long, and a piece of
quarter inch boiler plate about six inches
wide and thirteen inches long, formed
the objects upon which the tests were
to be made. Three pieces of railway
iron were so placed as to leave a trian
gular opening at their junction upon
tnese us Doner piate was laid, and an
ounce can of tho compound so placed
upon it that its bottom was directly
over tho openinsr. The can was then
perforated, and a rase inserted, the end
or which was provided with a rer
cuosion cap;
Tho tHscbarre- resembled that of t

material was not fonjaueo, aaa on ex

With the same, .success jas in the, first
case. Ari ounce can 'exploded in" the
canal, at A deDth Of Ahlrtv Inrhna fmiti
the surface, threw np a largei volume of
water and caused mother earth to trem
ble like an aspen leaf.
The next test was npon a plate of cast
iron, about eight inches square and one
Inch and five-eighths thick. The ex
plosion of an ounce can made a slight
impression npon its surface, but a four
ounce can broke it into six or eight
pieces. The final experiment, one en
tirely new with Mr. Smith, consisted
in placing a long, narrow case contain
ing one pound, of the explosive materi
al between two bars of railway iron,
which were placed side by side, enclos
ing the can over these rails another
was placed and tbe charge fired. The
bars wero all broken, and a piece about
eighteen inches long thrown up into
the air a distance of thirty feet. A pile
of shingles in tho vicinity was some
what damaged and a number of fence
posts in several courses of an adjoin
ing pile considerably cnt by flying
fragments of iroa. There was a wide
and deep defleotion of the ground at the
point of explosion, showing the charge
to have been one of great power.
To show that fire would not cause an
explosion without the percussion cap,
Mr. Smith placed a fate in an ounce
can. Tbe cap was thrown off and the
material burned out with a puff, and no
visible show of force. The gentleman
who assisted Mr. Smith Informed the
spectators that thirty pounds of the
material were destroyed in Chicago,
without any noticeable effect. It bad
been placed npon a table beside a large
water pitcher, and after the fire the
boxes were found empty, the ewer
escaping without a flaw. Mr. Smith
proposes to form a joint stock company
for the solo manufacture of this new
blasting agent, in this city. Milwaukee

TIIE RESULT OF PASTI5G.
Among the candidates for ofSlce at
the late California election was one who
was very anxious. On the day before
election several acquaintances sugges
ted that he must procure pasters.
"You can never win, old fellow, un
less you get pasters," said they. "You
need a great number, too, for everybody
will 'scratch' in your favor."
The suggestion was pleasant the can
didate counted his cash capital which
lay in his right-hand pantaloons-pocket.
Afterwards he walked to a printing
house, and ordered the printing of thir
ty thousand copies bearing bis name.
"You will have them gummed and
cut of course," said the printer man.
"No, I think not. I'll do that myeeir,"
replied the candidate.
Dubiously did the printer man look
at him, but as the cash was paid in ad
vance, be said nothing.
The printing was not done until after
nine o'clock at night, and the candidate,
who had been walking- up and down
the hatchway, marched triumphantly to
wards nomo wltb bis thirty thousand
pasters
"About one-half of them will be wast
ed," thought he "the balance added to
the straight tioket will render my elec
tion sure."
They sat up all night "fixing" the pas
ters the candidate and his wife, and
his wife's mother aud his eldest daugh
ter. The candidate spread mucilage
over the backs of the printed sheets of
f taper the daughter hung them on a
ine against the stove to dry, and the
Wife and her mother cut until their
hands were stiff and swollen. Two
o'clock, three o'clock, five o'clock came,
and still they worked away, yawning at
every clip or tbe shears. Tbe carpet
was strewn with soraps of paper, the
table streaked with mucilage and the
candidate himself was perambulating
onrt plaster, so gammy was be.
"My dear," said his wife, at half-past
five, "havn't you got enough My
thumb is almost cnt in two with the
Scissor, and grandma is quite done np
we had better keep on, my love,
replied the candidate; "I shall need
them all."
t "Dear me 1 said she, "Ldidn't know
there were thirty thousand voters in the
city."
"Of courno you didn't women are
not expeoted to know anything abont
politics."
The candidate had no sleep that night,
and at an early hour in the morning,
sallied forth to distribute bis thirty
thousand pasters. Then he worked all
day, spent a good deal of money for
whisky, and a good deal of breath for
nothing. Then he sat np another 24
hours to see the ballots counted. In his
precinct, the one in which he had work
ed so hard, eight hundred rotes had
been polled, and of these he had receiv
ed two, one being by moans of a paster.
His luck elsewhere had been no better,
and he went home. His wife greeted
him with smiles she was sure that her
hubby-bubby had been elected. And
in response to her congratulatory ca
resses, the brute turned savagely upon
bis wne and said
"My love, yesterday morning I circu
lated thirty thousand pasters bearing
m v name. In the whole citv I have re
ceived just thirty votes. If yoo ever say
paster to me I'll sue for a divorce. I
am going to bed."
VALTJB OF IMMI6KATI09.
The population of the States at the
commencement of the ltevoluttoaary
war has crsnerally been estimated at
000,000, and since that 7,803 fiQS foreign
ers have come into the country. As to
nationality, tho statistics show dearly
that tho English-speaking races are in
the majority and have been so from the
beginning. Of the whole total no less
man 3,&7,BdO came from the untisn
isle, and 284,401 from British America,
making an aggregate of 4,142,241, which,
with tho original stock, will account
for the ascendency of the English lan
guage and institutions, since from this
prolific germ bas sprung up an increase
more than sufficient to swallow np all
other races. It is computed that the
money value of each immigrant to this
country is 800, at which rate the whole
total added to our national wealth has
been, $285,000,000 during the year 1870, j
and $6,243,880,800 from the start. This
is estimating these people as producers.
That this is no idle conjecture may be
seen in the prodigious, progress the
country has made in every respect, ex
ceeding in rapidity any known instance.
The power of development is beyond
all question very great, To illustrate
the influenoo of this immigration upon
the country, w will give some of the
occupations of these immigrants. Of
laborers there were 1,498,816. These
are the psople who have built our rail
roads and our canals, and .who have
supplied the basis of onr progress,
and the most consoling: reflection is
that they are still pouring in in increas
ing numbers. Next to these in impor
tance were 976,579 farmers, attracted by
the cheapness and unlimited supply of
land, and who have, fed the mighty
stream of American agriculture. Col

A visitor to Peshtigo, Wisconsin,
since the recent terrible fire, says that
the phenomena and results of the storm
of fire were mysteriously strange. In
some places the forest trees lay in every
imaginable position, while in others
they were carried into windrows.
They wre mere sticks in the hands
of a great power, slashing and whipping
the earth, and then made fuel for the
work, of death. The fields, woods,
barns, houses aud even the "air" was on
fire, while larcre balls of fire were re
volving and bursting in every direction,
igniting every thing tney came n con
tact with and the wholeof this devour
ing element was drives before a torna
do at the rata of a mile a minute.
.-r- There can be no doubt that the air,
strongly charged with electricity, helD
ed on the work of destruction and death.
Mr. A. Ktrbycays be saw large bodies
or balls of tiro In tbe air, and when they
cAane in contact with, anything, thev
would bound thirty or forty rods away.
Others testify that they saw large clouds
of! tire burst .mtQ fragments,, and in
some instances great tongues of fire
like lightning, would is sua from these
dark clouds and light upon tho buil

pockets'of persons who were but little

DOCTORS' OFFICES.
We hope every physician will read
the following carefully and prayerfully,
and put the ideas of prof. M'Graw, in
to practice. There is no use of a doc
tor's office being tbe most horrible and
uncomfortable-looking place in a com
munity
"We are pleased to see, says Harper's
Weekly, that Professor M'Graw, of the
Detroit Medical College, imparted to
the last graduating class some of his
excellent ideas in regard to the general
aspect of a physician's office. He says
'I have been in doctors' offices where a
skull grinned from one corner, ghastly
anatomical plates hong from the walls,
and splints, suggestive of broken bones,
were placed conspicuously in every
corner. What a delightful resting
plaoe for. a sick woman visions of
death, disease, and injury greeting her
on eyery side Now, gentlemen, make
your offices pictures of comfort and
cheerfnlneBS. Banish from them every
sign of your professional occupation,
so that your patients may enter them
not only without disgust, but with ac
tual elevation of heart.' If there is any
place which should be made bright and
cheerful, and contain something Inter
esting and amusing to the mind, it is tbe
room where patients are often compell
ed to wait an hour. We have often seen
then, weary and restless, with nothing
to do but to gloomily reflect on the ills
their flesh Is eel r to, growing each mo
ment more impatient, and feeling evi
dently twice as sick as when they first
entered the unattractive room. With
out exception, the pleasantest physi
cian's office we ever entered was that of
Dr. D-
a well-known practitioner
of Boston. Books, flowers, paintings,
engravings; rare and beautiful curiosi
ties, handsome carpets and furniture,
luxurious sofas and easy chairs with
these tbe rooms were filled: and our
time of waiting7 seemed neither long
nor tedious. All physicians can -not
afford such abounding luxuriance but
there is no reoson why pleasant books
and magazines and cheerful pictures
should not be fonnd In tho waiting-room
of every physician."
PRESIDEST-MAKIXG.
Two Signal Failures.
Tho efforts of the Pittsburgh Post to
make a Presidential candidate of Col.
Thomas A. Scott without his advico
or consent, of conrse recalls to recollec
tion two kindred enterprises, which
happened so long a time ago as to have
well nigh faded from men's memories.
Daring the year 1839-'40 a select coterie
of Democratic politicians undertook to
confer Presidential honor on Commo
dore Charles Stewart, familiarly Known
as "Old Ironsides." A Sketch of the
Commodore's life, embellished with his
portait and sundry pietorlal viewa of
bis great naval fights, was printed, and
several hundred thousand copies circu
lated. The ?brave old Commodore" j
possessed unquestioned elements of
popularity. lie was a true patriot,
boasted an unsullied personal character,
a well-stored mind, and his brilliant,
success dnring our second war with
Great Britain had made him the great
est of American naval commanders.
And yet the attempt to make him Pres
ident of the United States, or even a
nominee, proved a signal failare.
Thousands of dollars were spent in the
effort, and any amount of patient and
persevering labor was put forth but all
to no purpose. In lhe election of del
egates to the nominating convention be
did not get a single county or district,
and the great Stewart party, with all
its stock in trade, speedily passed into
the receptacle of things lost on earth.
The other movement in tbe same line
was in the interest of Col. Richard M.
Johnson, fasetionsly styled "Old Te
enmseh," from the fact that he was sap
posed to have slain that eminent Indian
warrior. The head of this enterprise
was Col. Seth Sallisbury, who also
sported the title of doctor, of Bradford
county, Pennsylvania, a gentleman of
many rare eccentricities and pot a
few excellent qualities of character.. The
Doctor, in his own way, was a wonder?
ful political wire-worker. No beaver
was ever more industrious. Day. and
night, in season and out of season, .for
consecutive weeks and months, was be
at Harrisburg preparing addresses, con
ducting correspondence, 'pending out
circulars, organizing clubs and impro
vising meetings. -Not a rew newspa
pers too, bad unfurled the Johnson
flag, and were zealously advocating his
claims. Bnt alas and alack 1 what roar
ed so loudly in the index was not to bo
fonnd in the book.- .After the summing
up of results it appeared that CoL Rich
ard M. Johnson had not carried more
than one or two delegates in the Union.
and his name was incontinently drop
ped. Poor Sallisbury went back to
Bradford county, where he lived and
died in retirement. CoL Johnson him
self did not again leave Kentucky.
And thus the Old Tecumseh" bubble
was hopelessly And forever exploded I
Our national history, however, is
strewn with tbe wrecked hopes and
crushed expectations of disappointed
Presidential aspirants, among whom
the most conspicuous, no doubt, will
always be tho great statesmen, Clay,
Calhoun and Webster.
There is a marked difference between
the two first named cases, and the effort
of the Pittsburg Pef to make Colonel
Scott a Presdential candidate Commo
dore Stewart and Richard M. Johnson
had confidence in their backers, and
really aspired to the office. Nobody
believes that Col. Scott had the slightest
knowledge or the movement of, the
Pott. Nothing it more common than
tho efforts of the Democrats to find
somebody to make President.1 "They
are infinitely worse off than the Span
iards who spent two years in trying to
find a King. In 1863 they met ia New
York to inyent candidate against
Grant, and after a deal of vexation they
improvised poor Seymour, who took
the fatal srlfi nrettv inn eh ntha man
took the elephant, with a sure presenti
ment that it would be,- as it was, bis

hopes and they .will 'be worse off in

THE CHICAGO RELIC XARKET.
Lees aotivity is manifested in the rel
ic market to-day. Local buyers have
fallen off, but orders from the country
occupy the time of jobbers. Since the
fall trade set in pieces of the court house
bell have been in great demand, and
shipments are active. It is estimated
that two ear loads of pieces have been
shipped from the city. Our reporter
was informed by a dealer that be had
contracted with a Pittsburg brass foun
dry to supply the demand, which has
been extraordinary. Dolls are dull and
declining. At a meeting of dealers
held yesterday it was resolved to close
out the present stock, and recall all or
ders for the manufacture of a further
supply. "In order to work off their
stock in hand, jobbers are melting down
dolls, caasing them to fuse in pairs, and
to present the appearance of Siamese
twins. As the call for tacks for legiti
mate purposes is very pressing, no
more will, for some time, at least, be
melted down for the relic market.
Bottles have greatly fluctuated. First,
they had an upward, then a downward
tendency; bottles that gorgle at the
neck are greatly preferred. As
an evidence of the enterprise that
has been manifested Id the trade, it may
be mentioned that two prominent deal
ers have eone into tho business of sell
ing Mrs. Leary's cow. They had sold
eighteen of her to as many different
traveling museums,',-and t announced
that they were well stocked with the
article. As they motto ia low prices
and quick sales, they expect to have a
monopoly of the trade. Five barrels
of oil taken from the exploded lamp,
have been disposed of, and the demand
still continues.- There is no inquiry for
worthless safes,' as such are not regard
ed as curiosities. Considerable inquiry
has been made for chips of stone from
fire-prof buildings, but as nothing re
mains of such structures it has been
found necessary to eupply the, market
from a stone quarry on the West Side.
The failure of one dealer is reported.
He bought up a large number of pho
tographs from Sam Medill iu his unri
valled act Of brushing live cinders from
the Tribuno building. The article pro
ved a drug, and the dealer's paper be
coming due, he was obliged to suspend.

PHILOSOPHY OF ADVERTISING.
From an admirable article under the
above head, in the Aucust number of
the Bureau, we make the following ex
tract: "Boldness and nerve are indispensa
ble to success in advertising. It re
quires considcrablo determination aud
fortitude to witness with unshaken
faith a steady stream of money floating
out at a venture without being able to
trace its influences. Thomas Holloway,
the patent medicine man, spent five
hundred dollars in one week in adver
tising his specifics, with the discour
aging result of selling only two pots of
ointment yet he persevered undaunted,
and finally realized a princely fortune.
Dr. Ayer, of Lowell, aftor he started
his pills, sarsaparilla and cherry pector
al, for years spent every dollar he could
command in giving publicity to his
remedies through the columns of the
press, and several times seemed about
to ruin hie relatives as well as himself
by his uncompromising pertinacity;
bnt he never once faltered, and the cor
rectness of his judgment has been vin
dicated by the accumulation of Immense
wealth. Others have had vsimilar ex
perience. But while these signal illus
trations of the efficiency of advertising
are plenty as blackberries, a mistaken
notion has become prevalent that al
though nostrums may thus be pushed
into notoriety and made the source of
vast profits, ordinary classes of busi
ness do not come within the charmed
circle, and cannot bo forced Into a re
munerative existence in a liko manner.
No belief could be more erroneous.
If an article which a majority of sensi
ble men regard as a little better than a
humbug can be wrought up into a basis
of opulence by a liberal and persistent
application of the principles of publi
city and reiteration, why should not tho
same causes prove effectual toward the
same end as regards articles of prime
necessity The whole matter resolves
Itself into this; decide to introduce
some one thing to the public and then
go into co-partnership with printer's
ink. We care not what it is, whether
newspapers, bitters, tea, soap, snuff,
medicine, hosiery, pianos, or hats if it
is anything that the people really need,
they will purchase it if they are only
told where they ean find it."
0$E nrSDRED TEARS AGO.
On hundred and ten years ago, there
waa not a single white man in Ken
tucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Then, what Is the most flourishing part
of America was as little known as tbe
country around the mysterious moun
tains of tho Moon." It was not until
1767 that Boono left his home in North
Carolina to become the first settler in
Kentucky. The first pioneers of Olio
did not settle until twenty years after
this time. A hundred years ago Cana
da belonged to France, and the popula
tion did not exoeed a million and a half
of people. A hundred years ago the
great Frederick of Prussia was per
forming those grand exploits which'
have made him immortal in military
annals, and with his little monarchy
was sustaining a slngio-nanded contest
with Russia, Austria and France, the
three great powers of Europe combin-,
ed. Washington was a modest Virgin
ia Colonel, and the great events in his
tory of the two worlds in which these
great bnt dissimilar men took leading
parts were then scarcely foreshadowed.
A hand red years ago tbe United Mates
were the most loyal part of the British
Empire, and on the poMtieal horizon no
speck indicated the struggle trnicn
within a soore of years thereafter es
tablished the great republic of the
world. A hundred years ago there
were but four newspapers in America!
Steam engines had not been imagined,
and railroads and telegraphing had not
entered into the remotest conception of
men. When we come to look back at
ft through the vista of history, we find
that to tbe century just passed has been
alio ted more important events, in their
bearing upon the happiness of the
world, than almost any other which has
elapsed since the creation. San iFran

It has been, tacitly taken for a
fact that the highly respectable, .oven
noble, but somewhat eccentric sect of
(Quakers in this country was becoming
extinct, but a yearly meeting of ortho
dox Friend?, held at Baltimore late
ly, embracing the meetings of Mary
land and V lrginia, seems to indicate a
different condition of things. This
assembly established a new meeting in
Charles county, lid. Reports were
read, and also epistles from tbe yearly
meetings of London, Dublin, Canada,
New England, and several Middle and
Western States.' The London general
epiBtle has been issued to Friends in all
parts ot tne .world tor two hundred
years, aud is highly valued for its prac
tical teachings and christian doctrine.
Delegates were appointed to be present
at the opening of a new yearly meeting
next year in Kansas, in which State
there is a membership of threo thousand
Friends. Interesting and satisfactory
reports, were read Xrom standing com
mittees, upon education in North Car
