Novel and Interesting News.
The Boston Globe has made a happy deal. In an extraordinary special edition dated Jan. 1, “ 1981,” it presents the news of 100 years from now, in a highly interesting and elating manner. The Phonograph in Divorce Suits— Sunday-School Excursion in Air Cars— Terrible Accidents in Mid-Air—lnven-tion of a Burglar Bouncer, are respectively treated from the standpoint of the advanced journalism of that day. News by the Taikogram and Photophone from all parts of the world is fully presented. To show the progress of those times, it is only necessary io state that “ Hiram Grant’s bay mare Broad S. trots a mile in 1.37 J.” Every one should secure from his newsdealer or from Messrs. A Vogeler & Go., of Baltimore, Mi, by whom this edition is exclusively controlled and owned, a copy of the Boston Globe for “1981.” Mailed on receipt of price—five gents. To read it is to have grace and flexibility imparted to the intellect, and a strong desire to live on—as the poet would express it.
