Where is the Great West. It is but a few years since what was known as"the West" comprised Ohio, Indiana,Illinois and Michigan. These are now the Eastern Central States of the Union. The Star of Empire kept its westward way the Mississippi was soon crossed and Colorado were settled. When the Mormans, driven from Illinois.found a resting place in Utah, they sup posed they had gone so far beyond the furthest outpost of civilization, that the Gentiles' would give them no future trouble. Up to that time there had been no emigration except from East to West, for so long as re liable history bore testimony. But now began different state of affairs. From the Pacific coast came a few pioneers across the Rocky Moun tains. What had been West to al most the whole world, had become East to thousands. Draw a line di rect from the most densely populated part of Europe west to China and it passes near Portland, Chicago and San Francisco. From each end of this line multitudes are wending their way to our vast uninhabited country, whero there is room and to spare. It is estimated that all Europe ha eighty inhabitants to a square mile; England has four hundred and forty and Germany about two hundred. One of the provinces of China has over eight hundred; the avenge of the empire is over one hundred in habitants to a square mile. The United States and territories (exclu sive of Alaska) have over 3,000,000 square miles, within an average pop ulation of less than thirteen to a square mile. Of tho more densely settled states, Massachusetts has one hundred and ninety, Connecticut one h u nd red and eleven ,Ilhode Isl and one hundred and sixty-seven. With the same density of population Illi nois would have more than England. The "Great American Desert," so much talked of in the past, does not exist; and although considerable ter ritory west of the Mississippi is occupied by mountains and alkaline plains, there is, comp ratively, but a small portion of our oast dominion that can not be compelled by proper means to contribute to the support of man. But should the great West or t the great East whichever it way be to the emigrantsever bo filled, and our seaboard, States, both Atlantic and Pacific, become uncom fortable crowded, Mexico on one side and the British possessions on the other will gladly open their doors to all comers who will apply for admis sion in the right spirit. What will be the final result of the mixture of the races, and particular ly of those so widly separated as a e the Caucasians and the Mongolian if they ever do mix time alone can determine. Euough for us to wel come all whose condition will be im proved by their coming among us. We know nothing of what the great future has in store for our country, bat should remember that men's years are on'y God's moments; and as He has made of one blood all na tions of the earth, they should strive to live in the peace and unity calcu lated to promote His glory and their welfare.

Thought It Was a Tunnel. A young couple boarded the north bound lventucky express train at Boston last evening, says the Cincin nati Enquirer. It was at once ob served by the passengers that they t i. ma were ouie spoons. JLiie jonng man, evidently, was acquainted with the road, for as the train approached the tunnel about 10 miles back of Covington he prepared for business. J ust b fore the road reaches the tun nel, however, it passes through a short, dark bridge. As the train shot into the bridge the young man, not to miss an inch more of the sup posed opportunity than he could help, threw his arms around the girl's waist and proceeded to spread his month all over hers. Just as he got properly adjusted, had secured a moderate suction power about the girl s sweet mouth, and was tighten ing his grip around her shoulders till the bones fairly snauped, the tram as suddenly whizzed "in to day light as the moment before it rum bled into darkness.

Rosk & Co., "My wife has, for a long time, been a terrible suffererfrom Rheumatisru.She has tried many physicians and many reme dies. The only thing which has given her relief is Centaur Liniment. Iam rejoiced to say this has cured her. I am doing what I can to extend its sale. V. II. RING. This is a sample of many thousand testi monials received, of wonderful cures ef feated by the Centaur Liniment. The In gredients of this article are published around each bottle. Jt contains Witch Hazel, Mentha, Arnica, Rock Oil, Carbolic, and ingredients hitherto litttle known. It is an indisputable fact that the Centaur Liniment is performing more cures of Swellings, Stiff Joirts, Eruptions, Rheu matism.Neuralgia.Sciatica.Caked Breasts, iock-jaw, etc., than all other Liniments, Embrocatlous Extracts, Salves, Ointments and Plasters now in use. For Toothache, Earach, Weak Back. Itch and Cutaneous Eruptions it is admirable. It cures burns and scalds without a scar. Extracts poison from bites and stings, and heals frost-bites and chillblalns in a short time. No family can afford to be without the Centaur Liniment, white wrapper. The Centaur Liniment, Yellow Wrapper, is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh of the animal creation. Its effects upon severe cases of Spavin, Sweeny, Wind Gall, Big Head and Poll Evil, are little less than marvellous. Messrs. J. McClure & Co., Druggists, cor. Elm and Front Sts., Cincinnati, O., say : "In our neighborhood a nu m ber of team sters are using the Centaur Liniment. They pronounce it superior to anything they have ever used. We sell as high as four to five dozen bottles per month to these teamsters." We have thousands of similar testimo nials. For Wounds, Galls, Scratehes.RIng-bone, Jtc, and for Screw Worm In Sheep it has no rival.

XKIV YORK. Llghteen hundred and seventy-six is the Centennial year. . It is also the yetr in which an Opposition House of lie resen tatives, the lirst since the war, will hu in power at Washington ; and the year of the twenty-third election of a President of the United States. AUof these events are sure to be of great interest and importance, especially the two latter; and all of them and everything connected with them, will be fully and lreshly reported and expound ed in The Sun. The Opposition Housa of Representa tives, taking up the line of inquirv opened years ago by The Sun, will sternly and diligently Investigate t he corruptions and misdeeds of Grant's adminisl ration ; and, will, it is to b hoped, lay the foundation for a new and better period in our nation al history. Of all this The Sun will con tain complete and accurate accounts, fur nishing its readers with early and trust worthy information upon these absorbing topics. The twenty-third Presidential lection, with the preparations lor it, will be mem orable as deciding upon Grant's aspira tions for a third term of power and plun der, and still more as deciding who shall be the candidate of the party of Reform, and as electing that candidate. Concern inn all these subjects, those who read The Sun will have the constant means of be ins thoroughly well Informed. The Weekly sun, which has attained a circulation of over eighty thousand copies already has its readers in everv State and Territory, and we trust that the year 1870 vill see their numbers doubled. It will continue to be a thorough newspaper. All the general news of the day will be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at lull length when of moment; and always we trust, treated In a clear, interesting and in structive manner. It is our aim to make The Weeklt Sun the best family newspaper In the world and we shall continue to give In its col umns a large amount of miscellaneous reading:, such as stories, tales, poems, scientific Intelligence and agricultural in formation, for which we are not. able to make room in our daily edition.
