The present issuo of the Faumkr clones our record of the Centennial Year. The year that is past has been rich with nssochtions and will bo re membered in history as oventful in many respects. The groat Industrial Exposition hold at Philadelphia was the llttest way of celebrating so mo mentous an occasion, for by no other means than an exhibit of tho produc tions and industries of our peoplo in competition with all nationalities could tho importance of tho century that is gone, and tho achievements of Ameri can civilization mid tho progress made in tho Hrt.s and sciences as well as in cultivation of the soil and useful manu factures bo made ovidont. Whilo we do not equal tho art, science and Uteri' lure of tho old world, it has boon bo cau"o wo are tho result of a new idea, the prohuct of a utilitarian age. Hut wo havo niiulo great strides towards excellence in Ileitis of art, the domain of M'iencoaud tho realm of literature. It Is not too much to bcliovo that with the growth of tho century to como America will mnko great advanco to wards perfection in all that marks tho growth and development of mind and be behind no other nation and no oth er ago in the cultivation of intellectual graces. During tho years and decades that have gone by since tho Declaration ot American Independence we havo grown from two millions to be a peoplo of forty millions. Tho two mllliors were hemmed in between tho Eastern t-on board mid the nearest mountain range that ran parallel with it, whilo tho forty millions havo sailed Alleglmnio's havo peopled tho great valleys ami ranges spread over the Interior of tho Contin ent, mid cover tho MI.-sKsippl and all its tributaries with an inland navy that has become a living wonder. Domes, palaces and spires look down from shores whero great cities are now en throned, uml where commerce grows into a magnificence of trade of which the old woi Id never dreamed ami of which soothsayers never prophesied in tho dull age, a century gone, when our hires swore fealty to freedom with a tyrants halter the only reward promised for their failure. To the American cit izen of 177ii the region west of the Al leghany range was an unknown land whoro Indian tribes ruled supreme. It is not prob.tblo that our fathers knew as much of tho Mississippi valley as wo know to-day of tho Islands that constitute tho Empire of Japan, mid yet, boforo the century had gone that was born when tho r-kirmish of Lex ington was answered by tho cannon that thundered from Ihinkor Hill, tho great valley region of tho Continent was subdued and had lieconio homesteads fjrtens of millions of our people, aud Continent, had made gardens on the deserts that glare in tho Western sun, had scaled the Sierras of the Pacific to discover greater and more prodigal treasure than earth had over known, or of which man had ever dreamed, save iullto wild exuberance of the tales of tho Arabian Xights. And better still, it had peopled rich valleys that slum bers all along the Coast between the Sierras aud tho Western Sea, and plan ted cities that shall grow greater as mines of gold and sih'er may fade away, maintained by commerce, man ufactures and agriculture that afford tho truest wealth and a more perfect civilization than can mingle with the semi-barbarous struggle and conflict that accompanies the search for silver and gold. Tho white haired poet lives to-day who sang in his youth that won derful song of the dead, theThanatop sis, where his extremest metaphor de scribed "The continuous woods Whoro rolls tho Oregon, and hears no sound Save his own dashing." And yet before the poet's life has passed awuy, we, who were infants or unborn, aro peopling the shores, filling the for ests, and bearing hither, to plant and cultivate in all perfection, the spirit of Freedom, the Genius of Progress, and tho elements of a true enlightenment that at last has spanned a Continent, invaded its waste places, and ends the Westward inarch of man that has gone ceaselcsslyon, since the firstempire was planted on tho shores of the Euphrates. If tho doubts that environ, and tho political dangers that threaten the American people as this memorable year fades into twilight can bo dispers ed with the advent of tho other cen tury, so as to prove that Americans are truly capable of self-government, and that the spirit of our institutions insure that tho right shall prevail If the war of factions can cease long enough to permit justice to decide tho complicat ed questions of the hour If tho epoch can devolop statesmanship of an order that shall comport with the patriotism, self-sacrifice and devotion of 177G, which demanded Freedom that it might bo left as a heritage for prosteri ty then the triumph of America will be perfected and tho history of tfio century bo rounded off with a com pleteness of which wo may well bo proud.
