A Hundred Years Ago. A hundred jear* ago, to carry out the grand doctrine of popalar liberty the doctrine "that all men were endowed by tboir Creator with certain inalienable rights, among srhich was life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'
How grandly along the eorriders of time hat© these glorious truths rang. How grandly bare they been fulfilled by our i*a'i*e land. What a wonderful and magical influence has these great truths had upon the whole civilized world. From three to nearly fifty millions of free men, with an influence fer good eo-eztensive with tho globe. Our roligion »nd civilization has penetrated the uttermost parts of the earth, raising up peoples and ^governments to a higher standard of justice, morality and rirtue. What aa icexbaustiblo theme. What a glorious thing to be living on this grand day. The inspiration of this day should make a& love our country far better than ever before. Contemplate our position as a people in 17T6. Three millions of inhabitants—to-day near fifty millions. 1776 found the world without railroads, steamships, telegraphs, the cotton-gin aod spin-ning-jenny, gas, vaccination, the sewing machine, and various other inventions and discoveries that have revolutionized the world, Tho printing press Improvements rank high as a civilizer. The world is indebted to oar country for the most of these great inventions and discoveries. A little over fifty years ago Sir Walter Scott wrote from London that a foolish German wanted to light London with gas. Could he to-day awake and look m»u *Wm

with unbounded astonishment 1776 finds us possessed of all these, aod, as we believe, in their highest state. Our railroads and telegrsphs penetrating our country from North to South, from East to West The news of the Old World is read by us appar cntly, to time, before it occurs. The results of our inventions and discover fas are incalculable. Dr. Jenner conferred upon the world an untold blessing in his discovery of vaccinatioa Labor has been shorn ef its heaviest burdens by the great inventions, Our HfcUonal, State and private advantages ofto*d»y, compared with those of hundred years ago, almost make us believe we Uve in fairy-land.
Will the coming century add as much 0 the world's welfrre as the last one We slmost believe it utterly impossible.
At the beginning a small rivulet to day a great and mighty river with arms and branches, carrying education, religion, culture aod refinement to fifty million souls. We can afford to lay aside partisan bias to-dar, and contemplate our country. True, time was when si any people thought our text not a true one but alt of us who ar^ to-day ean realise the saying of Tilton that "Liaeoln ascended to heaven with the shackles of six million of alaves in his hands" as a glorious truth. The war came and a wept in its fury over the country, realising lae great and glorious,truths of American Independence, that all men were posseaeed of certain "inalienable Tights." We are ef theeegwbo always contemplated the cost ef blood and treasure to accomplish this reeelt with horror. It was this jhat led to nearly all ef the opposition te the war in the North—not that the oppeeere ef the war did net tare their country. But to-day we can ley that we are heartily glad that slavery Is gone, and that we, both Keith and South, are far better elf without it, and that the war ac« titihing this fact remored from our »ody politke its greatest danger.
The war of the revolution was a &in»l»h compared to the late war. but the eitirct ef the revolutiouarr war will hre and he felt fer geed tfereagh all tiros end through *li lands. The pelit* k«2 and civil tights ef an American citiatn are more tall and free than these of any other people on earth.

W
her own conscience, and ao one dare molest Our schools and colleges have grown from a few to thousands. Today our colleges take rank with those of the old world. Our common schools are the peoples' charge and pride.
One of the greatest blessings of the past century is that the nations of earth are obeying the injunctions of Holy Writ—that "they shall not learn war toy more." That troubles and disputes between nstions shall be settle by arbitration. la our body politic the century closes with the best indications for oar country's good. The people are awake to their interests, fraud and corruption of all kinds is denounced and exposed by the msny, while onlj a few are ita defenders.
The century opens brilliantly for our country, and may Godspeed her on her wav'to far more greataess in the future than even the past has developed, will be the heartfelt wish of every American citizen to-day. •flHW'-*^0

Jo
SCOTT
delivered an
able lecture before the Scientific Association at Bockville, Tuesday evening. His subject was "Second-hand Truths." It was attentively listened to by a fine audieaee and is spokea of in the high ast terms. Judge Soott is in aaany respects a moat sxfraordtoary man. A "mud sill" by birth, a harness Beaker by trade, a lawyer by profession, a judge by popular choice, a etudent by taste snd inclinations, he will jet, by strength of intellect aad force ol will, make bis aame familiar in the scientific world ss thst of a man who aaa comprehend and explain and teach, if not as a profound scholar and discoverer. It will not be creditable to Terre Haute if she shall be the last to appreciate his tslents.—Mail.
We cordially endorse the above, and say that Judge Scott is one of Terre Haute's foremost citizens. A cultivated, intelligent gentleman ia die fullest sense of the word. A man that Terre Haute can well afford to honor.

©bltnurjr Notice.
After a painful illness of three days, Mrs. Mary Foote, wife of Dr. Ziba Foote, aged 33 years.
She was an affectionate wife, a kind and loving mother, and her bereaved husband and children have the sympathy of the entire community. Though called thus suddenly and unexpectedly away from time to eternity, death did not find her unprepared. Ten years ago she united with the Presbyterian church of Sullivan, and gave evidence in her daily walk and conversation that her trust was fixed upon her Savior, and when he called for her to go to Him she expressed her willingness to obey the summons, saying to her husband, when near the end, that whilst she had often dreaded the hour of death her fears were dispelled and all was peace. "Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the son of man cometh." —Sullivan Democrat.
Mrs. Foote had many friends in this city who will be grieved to hear of her death. She was a most estimable lady, a kind mother and an affectionate wife.

The Travelling Men's ball was held in tho new city halL It was rather moderately attended until late ia tho eveniEg. The neat hall had been nicely prepared. Tho floor had been waxed and marked into •'wagon wheels," ono diagram for each sot of danoers. Toute'a baud gave tho mu«c. White is Mewhinney furnished tho supper. It was set in tho lower hall on long tables in the aisles. The ball was a very elegant entertainment
Tho ball of the Ancient Order of United Workmen was giren in Dowling Hall. We understand it was pretty srell attended, and therefore must hsve been a success. There were to have been some prises to be voted away. They were very bandaome, as could be seen previously when they were on free exhibition in the window of Button 4c Hamilton, ao check being required to eeethem there.
The merriest iall was tho masquerade of the Turner Society at their Ninth street hall. It was well crowded, and the dancers were haviag a hot time, the weather being actually on Now Year's eve uncomfortably warm fer the extra dressing ususl in a masquerade. Many el the costumes were unusually neat and tasteful. Among them mar be mentioned an Italian brigand, darkey in wooden shoes, an English Punch, ladies tissue psper, Indian chiefs aad Indian princesses, fireman (?), etc. Between 10 and II o'clock an exercise ia gymnastics wss given on the stage by the Turners, lead by their teachcr, Mr. Probst It was really remarkable, the feats being very difficult They included a human pyramid, aad ended with a revolving "twister" of eight men locked together, Tho musie was given by the Unioa band.
Several elegant private receptions were held in various residences throughout town.
Asbury social and festival was very enjoyable, though net so well attended aa usually, owing to tho number of other attractions. Some beautiful singing was given by Mr. and Mrs. John Davis, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Hawtin, Mr Walmsley, the Misses Jackson, and a number of others. A mush and milk table was a novelty of the evening, and was well patronized. The ladies also had oysters, turkey, ice-crtam, cake, and everything nice.

I have been engaged
in tracing our family record as far back as possible sinoe my residence in Europe, with the view of getting our fatuity "Arms" from the English "Heraldry See." This is the offloe from whence all family lineage ia takes and the source of our ancestral dignities- This I have just nww effected, aod have found that we are of the "noble old house of Warwick, Earl of Warwick. No one in this country baa or is allowed to bear the Crest aad Atms of this old noble of whom we read so much ia the history of the thirteenth oentury, for the reason that the same of Beauohamp of this branch tfas extinct, on aotiouut of the last of this particular •branch emigrating to America. Through the aid of a law firm in London, I hare convinced the authorities that we
AM
of
tbat "House." and have just obtained the grand old "Crest and Anns of the E&rl of Warrick," and it has all been properly certified through. And I now bear the "Crest aad Anna" which has been extinct for three hundred years. What I waat you to do make a complete family history. I do this tbat the whole matter maybe added to, and tbat you and your family may also enjoy the honor of bear* iog the "Arms aad Cfest," I have the 'Creet aad Arms" already granted, and will write you upeu paper bearing the same In a short time. 1 am only awaiting the finish of the "die" that I may have the proof stroch off.
