A hit ml ml years is a brief p-rl : ia the life of a tuition, yet this i tury has manifested a niai v. lio.i growth in the Tinted States. I.'t ns review some of the piineipal !a-;,.-of American progress. The century has seen the thirteen States grow to fortv-live. It h;i- seen the area of the -Republic paniJing Irom the narrow strip territory along the Allan tie .n.-i.-t till it has taken in the wln-1- a t basin of the Mississippi and h... spread out to the shores that fa the morning land of Asia. The area of the United States .1 li" el T'l 1- cue loitnuaiion oi tne federal ( ni in Ke9 was about eight linndii"! thousind square miles. It n-.w more than three million of s.m.w miles. The growth of population i more surprising than the increase of terrritory. The three millions of 1770 has increased to seventy mil lions. The inventive genius of our coun trymen has become proverbial, and some of the most important ap pliances of art ami maim fact me have come from the brain ions Americans. of irig'.-'ii- It must no; he supposed that American institutions and Ameri-ai. people are without their faults: they have many, and tins.', th -young who are growing up to take the place of their fathers, should endeavor to correct and reform, but on the whole it may be said I'n it, no people are more generous, upright, prosperous and happy than the American. The growth of the United States is the result of hard labor and perseverance, hut mostly for the love of our country and the desire of honor and fame, but the greatest desire of all is "Liberty."' Our great and good men have endured the trials and sufferings of battle for the sake ot declaring our country a free and independent one. Oh, how we ought, to exalt ami praise the memory of our patriotic fore-fathers and pay some little tribute to them. There is in the history of everv nation a heroic age when some grand and noble spirit rises sublimely at the critical period of her existence, some strong arm, some master mind, some noble heart to do and dare and conquer for the right. In Wash ington was our country blessed with such a sublime hero in her darkest hour of peril. lie has given us many proofs of his patriotism, but one of the great est was his refusal to receive any compensation for his eight years of service at the head of the army. Immortal Washington ! to thee they pour A gratelul tribute to thy natal hour Who strike the lyre to Liberty and twtue Wreaihs for her triumphs for they all are thine, Wooed by thy virtues to the haunts ol meu. From uiouolain precipice an.! rugged glen, She hade thee vindicate the rights of man. And in the march 'twas thine to lead the van." At his death the whole country was in deepest sorrow. European nations sent messages of condolence and when the news reached .Paris the flags were placed at half-mast. Koine has her Caesar and Prance her Napoleon, but higher Liian either stands our Washington. His patriotism was pure; there was noi selfish ambition in his love of coun try. And above all he was a noble example of self-disciplined man hood. Lincoln said of him: ''To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of W ashington, were impossi ble. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name and in its deathless splendor leave it shining on. The study of United States history should infuse into our minds the American spirit, which is as broad as the continent. It should inspire us with fraternal feelings towards all sections with love foi the Union, reverence for the Con stitution and faith in our country's destiny. We join with Longfellow in these lines: -Sail on, O ship of Slate ! Sa l on, O Union strong and greit. Humanity with ail its fears With all iis hopes of lutuie years. Is hanging breathless on thy fate. We know what master laid thy kee'. What workmen wrought thy ribs o' steel, Vho marie each mast And sail and roc-K, What anvils rang. What hammei-9 beat In what a forge, and what a le it Were shaped the anchori of thy hope. "Fear not each sudden sound and sh d.; 'Ti- of the wave and uot the rock, "Tis b it flapping ot the sail. And not a rent marie by the gale In spite of rock and temper road. In spite of lalse lights uu i lie shore. "Sail on ! nor fear to bna-t the se : Our htarrs, our hopes are all with thee.

The success which the govern ment has met in negotiating its re- j een t loan, brings to niinii an mcia ! cut in the financial history of the late Confederacy not generally known, and which may be interest ing and instructive to recall. In the winter of lS'i'-biJ, the Confederate Congress decided to place a loan of ten millions of dollars on the Eur opean market. The French fin ancier who came over here to con fer with the authorities at Rich mond, Va., in the matter, strongly urged upon Mr. Meminger, the Secretary of the Treasury, and upon the joint committee of the Congress, the advisability of making the loan one or two or five hundred mil lions: stating that it would be en tirely practicable to negotiate such a loan: and gave as a reason that it would be most desirable to get his country ami other European States financially interested in tho Con federate cause. As the payment of tho loan was to be contingent upon the success of the South, those thus financially in terested could be expected to exert an influence favorable to the Con federacy, and might force tbeir re spective governments to recognize tlie independence of the Southern States, ami lend them valuable aid, as a means of securing the repay ment of their raonev thus subscrib ed. It appears that Secretary Mem inger favored the suggestion of the French banker, but the Congress decided to adhere to its first deter mination: and in February, 1803, the loan was placed on the Paris Bon rse. When the result was announced it astonished P'urope and convicted the Confederate authorities of a failure in statesmanship. Bids amounting to more than four hun dred millions of dollars were made. It is idle now to speculate as to what effect on the prosecution of the war the investment of so large a sum of money by the people of France in the foitunes of the Con federacy, would have had; but it is entirely possible that tho Emperor, Napoleon III., would have felt obliged to recognize the political authority of the Southern States, when his countrymen evinced in a wav so remarkable their supreme confidence in the ability of the Con federacy to obtain their independ ence recognized by'one of the great powers of Europe, and with four hundred millions of dollars of gold on hand for tbe purchase of ships and other military supplies in the spring of 18b.'i, the strategy of the Gettysburg campaign might not hive "been required, and the thous ands of valuable lives sacrified from that time on to Appromatox might have been saved to the South. News and Observer. Mnlo Corn. Secretary Morton paid a visit to tne Capitol the other day and stop ped at the Senate end. He drove up in the style a practical farmer can drive, and was ready to give practi cal lessons on any branch of agricul ture. His presence reminded a Sen ator of a story which is being told on the Secretary. A Congressman called oh the Sec retary of Agriculture one day and found him admiring a couple of immense, long ears of corn, which had just come in from Nebraska. 'Tsn't that fine mule corn, Mr. Congressman?" queried the Secreta ry. "It is, indeed," was the reply. "But I can't understand why you call it mule corn. Why not horse corn " "Mule corn always has long cars." was the reply. Washington Times.
