THE CENTENNIAL.
The following poem was composed by John
6. Whittier and read on the occasion of toe
Centennial in New York last week.
The sword was sheathed: io April's san
Lay green the ?elds by Freedom won :
And severed sections, weary of debates,
Joined hands at fast and were United States.
O Chy sitting by the Sea t
How proud toe day that dawned on thee,
"When the i?w era, long desired, bega?,
And ic its need the boar had found the man !
One thought the cannon salvos spoke ;
The resonant bell-tower's vibrant stroke,
The voiceful streets, the plandit-echoiog halls,
And praver and hymn borne heavenward
from St. Paul's!
How felt the land in every part
Thestrong throb of a.nation's heart,
As its great leader gave with reverent awe
His pledge to Union, Liberty and Law ?
That pledge the beavens above him heard,
That vow the sleep of ceoteries stirred ;
IQ world-wide wonder listening peoples bent
Their gase on Freedom's great experiment.
Cou?d it succeed ? Of bcnor ssld
And hopes deceived ai! history told.
Abott tb? wrecks tba^trewed the mournful
p*at,
was tba long dream of ages true at last ?
Thank ?od! the people's choice was just,
Tba one mao equal to his trust,
Wise beyond lore, and without weakness
good,
Calm tn the strength of iawless rectitude *
His role of jnstice, order, peace, -
Made possible the world's release ;
Taught prioce and serf that power is but a
trust,
And nile, atone, which serves the ruled, is
jost;
That Freedom generous is, but strong
lo bate of fraud and selfish wron?,
Pretence that turns ber holy truths' to lies,
A?d lawless license masking in her guise.
Land of bis love I with one glad voice
Let thy great sisterhood rejoice :
A century's suns o'er thee have risen and set,
And, God be praised, we are one nation yet.
And still, we trust, the years to be
Shall prove his hope was destiny, ,
Leaving oar fl*g with all its added stars
Un rent by faction and unstained by wars !
Lol wherewith patient toil be cursed
And trained the Dew-set plant at first,
The widen i og branches of a stately tree
Stretch from the sunrise lo the sunset sea.
And-in its broad and sheltering shade,
Sitting w:th none to make afraid,
Were we now silent, through each mighty
limb,
The winds of heaven would sing the praise of
Ma.
Oar first and best ?--his ashes lie
Beneath his own Virginian sky.
Forgive, forget, O true and just and brave,
Toe storm that swept above thy sacred grave !
For, ever in the awful strife
And dark hours of the nation's life,
Through the fierce tumult pierced his warning
word,
Their father's voice his erring children heard I
Tba change for which he prayed and sought
In that sharp agony was wrought ;
Ko partial interest draws its alien line
'Twixt North and South, the cypress and the
pine !
One people now, all doubt beyond,
His name shall be our Union bond ;
We lift our hands to Heaven, and here and
now,
Take on our lips the old centennial vow.
For mle and trust most needs be ours;
Chooser ac?~cbosen both are powers
Equal in service as in rights; the claire
Of Dnty rests on each and ail the sasae.
Thea let the sovereign millions, where
Our banner 6 oat s in son and air,
From the warm paim (ands to Alaska's cold,
Repeat with us the pledge a century old !
How Will It be in 198S?
For the last few days we have a{\ j
been looking backward. Xor that the I
glories of the past hesdred years feave j
been daly celebrated, it is i?teres:iog io
consider what oar greet grandchildren j
will have to look back at io 10S?.
When New York celebrates the two j
hundredth anniversary of the inauga- <
ration of President Washington what j
wiH the city be like ? The great act of !
consolidation, feebly talked of now, will !
long before that time have been consum- j
mated. Manhattan Island, Loog Is- j
land, Staten Island and Westchester j
enanty will be the New York of those ;
days, with probably five miKions of in- j
habitants-and st?H a growing place.
Is ft coo improbable a guess that it will
fee, ?y 1989, not the city of New York,
?ut tke State of Manhattan, with a
^jroveraor, ? Legislature and two United
States Sanators ? Is it too wild a sop- j
position that this great commercial en?
trepot ?ay, in the wisdo? of Congress, |
bj tfeat time have been erected i o to a ?
free port, where all the products of all
the world will be stored in capacious !
warehouses, and all the ships of all the j
world will-come to pick up their assort- j
ed cargoes for the continent south of us ;
mod the island States of the Pacific i
Ocean?
Perhaps it is vain to hope for such j
an arrangement, even by 19S9; bot]
weat-a magnificent career New York- !
Manhattan-womid have if it were a '
freeport! How ike capital and the j
products of all the world would streans
to us! What miles npon miles of 6f- ,
teen story warehouses would line the !
water front on the Hudson, the East ?
River ??-? St&te-a {s?aud ; Wt tn such a :
priv?ie?e tfee State of Manhattan, small
in territory bat rieb to capital and en- !
ier^rise, would become, before the cen?
tury was hali passed, the centre of tho 1
world's exchanges, the warehouse of lue ?
whole plarct, the greatest capital since ;
Home. It is only a dream, tut what a
dream, cf great and easy possibilities! j
An act of Congress and an act of the
State Legislature, and the whole splen?
did dream could he realized.
Rapid transit in J9S(J will be some- ;
thing so different ?hat our great grand- I
children will wonder how we ever got '?
on with only street and elevated roads, j
How will they get about in the State of
Manhattan ? Perhaps by that time
they may be goiDg in balloons or flying
machines-who knows? f * j? if aerial
navigations shouri prove an imposai- j
tili ty, as some scientists assert, there j
may be subways, cr more probably, as ;
steel is getting cheaper ail the time. ;
pneatnathc tubes, through which Man?
hattan's millions will be comfortably
shot to and fro from their hornes and !
business at the rate of two hundred j
miles an hour. Meantime let us hope,
out of good will to our descendants, that
long before 1939 some method will he :
discovered to give the streets a smooth
and clean pavement.
Long before the nest centennial Can- !
ada will have entered the V-uion, and
the Senator from Atbabaska or the
member of the House from the North?
ern Hudson Hay district will have de
tnanded an appropriation to take pos-1
session of the North Pole as part of our !
territory and to make a survey of the ?
adjacent lands to open them to settle?
ment-with an equitable arrangeaient
to boy out the Esquimaux.
The Ambassador from the West In- !
dian Confederation, io an interview :
with a Herald reporter, in April. 1989, !
%?\ proclaim the magnificent prosper
Hy of bis Islaud Republie, and contrast
it with the extreme depression of 1889.
The Ambassador from the Mexican and
Central American Confederation will
Sell in like ?anser of the peace and
prosperity which have been gained by
that federal anion of States, their vast
I growth in population and capital since
the centennial of 1880 ; and be will
petheps remind the reporter that Mex?
ico gained her first start on the march
to orderly development a century before,
under the rule of the great President
Diaz.
A century ago, he will add, they
talked of a canal across the Isthmus,
but scarcely dared to more than talk.
Now we have four cauals, ali cutting
the territory of our confederation, all
crowded with ships run by electricity if
they are new, or by petroleum fuel if
they are old and slow cargo ships. The
completion cf the canal across the Isth?
mus of Tehuantepec, he will add, fin?
ishes the work of canal building, and
I remains a world's wonder of daring cap
I ital and engineering skill.
But by that; time the canals will be
used mainly for freight. South bound
passengers will leave the central Man?
hattan station at ten o'clock A. M.
daily for Mexico, Guatemala City,
Bogota, Caracas, Lima, Kio Janeiro,
Buenos Ayres, aud Santiago Chile and
Cape Horn on through express trains
warranted to run on schedule time.
These trains will cross the Hudson
River by. a bridge which our great?
grandchildren will speak of as we speak
of the East River Bridge.
In 19S9 our great-grandchildren^
children will be studying in school the
history of the great and long continuing
European war, which, beginning io
1892, lasted twenty years, and left ali
the parties to ii. so exhausted that a
general rearmament was impossible.
They will read with amazement of the
repudiation of national debts in all the
European States, of the loss by England
of India atid her Australian colonies, of
great changes on the map of Contiueu
tal Europe, the disappearance of Tur?
key, the establishment of a German
federal republic, including in its bounds
Holland, Germany, Austria and Swit?
zerland ; of the absorption of Spain and
Portugal by France, and of Greece by ]
Italy. Meantime the Ambassador of
the great Australian Confederation will
arrive to attend the Centennial at the
head of a magnificent fleet of steel war
vesseis, and with reports of further rich
gold discoveries in the extreme high?
lands of New Guinea. The children
who study this history will be grateful
that they are Americans, and that their
continent has been peaceful and pros?
perous while Europe was, utx?er the
misrule of her so-called great statesmen,
ruined.
Before 1989 America will bave bad
a really great poet and one or two really
great painters. S&e will staod at the
head in scientific discoveries. But let
us all hope that in this century to come
she may have also wise and unselfish
statesmen, carefully-cherishing our con?
stitution, and guided in all their aims
by the knowledge that as population in?
creases and what we call civilization
becomes more complex, it is constantly
of more vital importance that ike gov?
ernment shall do little, and leave the j
way open for the citizens to act. The
tendency just now is in the other direc?
tion ; whoever wants something looks to
Congress or the federal Executive for it.
Tbe wisest American statesman in the
century now opeaieig will be a-e who
sees that iu that direction Hes commu?
nism, auarchy and death.-New York
Herald.
The Arizona Kicker.
A Western Editor With Something to j
Live For.
The last issue of the A rixon a Kicker j
contained the following :
EXPLANATORY-The absence of our j
society column for ibc last three issues j
seems to call for an explanation. The
trouble was jealousy among the bon ton. j
If we happened to make a five-line
announcement that Mrs. Col. Dash ex?
pected her brother-in-law direct from
the California penitentiary on a certain
date, and only a four-'iioe item to the
effect that Mrs. Judge De Soto import?
ed her bustle directly from Zanzibar,
there was an iil-feeliog which stirred up
the entire community.
WE BOOM.-While the tewna about us
have -been bragg^3g of their progress,
we have kept quiet and got in our work
without kicking up auy clc-ud of dust. J
Brag ts all right in its way, but we i
don't propose to come out with ado?ble- !
leaded, so\re-bead article every time a
citizen 4?angs * new front gate. Booms j
are good enough in their way, but there j
mast be merit behiLd them.
Wi+h no disposition to claim this as j
the only growing town in Arizona, and !
wiih ?o desire to kill the growth of ?
rival towns, we humbly call attention to j
the fact that since January 1st fourteen ;
new saloons, three poker rooms and
four reiail tobacco stores have been j
opened iu the place, and at the present
moment ei?ht^en men are engaged in
bui'iiug a jail capable of a cc o m mo- j
dating thirty prisoners. We- have done ?
all tl.-is without any brag or bluster, j
and we propose to keep right*.ea iu thc ;
same ouiot fashion, leaving the ou?riue ;
world to judge for itself as to where it ?
shail seek new hemes and invest its j
capital
If PAYS -Several months ago we i
established a grocery and feed store iu :
connection with The Kicker. The New !
York World. Herald anil other effete ;
dailies of the metropolis predicted a dis- ;
mal failure, but tue result ?,!iow? that ;
they were mistaken. We figured that :
this other business wosld bc just what
wss needed to distract our ti.ind from :
rho harassing thoughts <>f editorially j
running this country, and that we would
be ail the better and brigher for brit?
occasionally iutcrr;:prci iu our literary
labors.
The result has justifie:! oi?r predic?
tions- a:i(? more. We were rever in
ns good mental C'"?n???:i >n au now, while
o "ar >a!es have kept increasing week by
week ut.ril we have beet: compelled
to hire a e!erk. io assist u*. The
editorial entitled "Advice to the Presi?
dent" was written ft-ti; t:; ire than a
dozen ioterrupti:;us to measure corn,
draw molasses ar?.'i sell clothes-pins, and
yet we will put it against anything
which ever originated from the pen of
the stuck-up and exclusive New York
editors.
OCR JEALOUS CONTEMPORARY.-The
dyspeptic old excrescence who claims to
edit the mi!k-and-mush publication
down at the corner of Catfish alley is
jealous of our advertising patronage. ;
In a labored article this week in his
poorly printed old apology he say?; that
we practice bull dozing to bring adver
tising. What a liar ! The Kicker
practices baU-doziog ! The idea is
laughable, and if he was worth mind?
ing we should walk down to his shanty
and choke the assertion down his bra
sen throat.
There used to be several Srms here
which didn't believe in advertising We
couldn't make 'em believe in it until we
went at it and found out that they were
composed of gentlemen who had skip*
ped from the east for barn-burning,
horse-stealing, bigamy, embezzlement,
etc. Then we wrestled with 'em. and
they came to see that the life of trade
was in using printers' ink. We simply
convinced-not buMdozed. The efforts
of our knock-kneed conterapory to
smirch the fair fame of The Kicker
will simply call forth smiles of pity.
He Waited.
When Dr. Carver, who is going to
Europe with a wild west show, arrived
at Kansas City with a herd of buffalo,
an amusing incident occurred. Kansas
City was the first place at which the
buffalo were unloaded from the cars,
and as soon as they found themselves
on terra firma they instantly stampeded.
Straight down the track and through
the yards of the Union depot they
charged. Immediately there was an?
other stampede among the passengers
and loiterers about the depot. An
English traveler who stood on the plat?
form loaded down with the usual assort?
ment of bags and sbawlstraps, in his
frautic offorts to get out of the way,
fell over a trunk and lay there half
stunned until be was picked up by a
good-natured baggageman.
"I say, what was that, you know,
that just went past?" the fallen Briton
inquired in a bewildered manner as he
regained hts feet.
. 0, that's nothing/'replied the bag?
gageman, "an every-day occurrence for
buffalo and other wild beasts to stam?
pede through the town in that way.
If you wait a while you may see 'em
run through here again."
"Really?" . j
"Het yer boots !"
It is on record tliat the Englishman
seated himself on that trunk and missed
his train waiting for the nest stampede.
mm -
The Frigate Bird.
Sailors believe religiously that the
frigate bird can start at daybreak with
the trade winds fi om the coast of Africa
and root the saqie night upon the
American shore. Whether or not this
is a fact, has oot yet been conclusively
determined, but it is certain that the
bird is the swiftest of winged creatures,
and is able to fly, under favoring con?
ditions, 2?? miles an hour.
Counterfeit Bills.
"No matter how expert a bank teller
may become in detecting bad money,
tliere -are counterfeits extant which will
stump the best of them. I was for many
years a United States treasury expert,
and have handled all the famous counter- j
feits ever made. I have in this roll of ]
bills $5,000, about one-half of which is
.good and the rest worthless. I often test
bank tellers by offering this money for
deposit, and you would be astonished to
learn how large a proportion of the
?counterfeits are passed by some of them
as genuino. In fact I have never found
one who rejected every bad bill, some of
them accepting as much as $1,700 of it,
and from that -down. I have been testing
some Kansas City bank men today, with
varying results, Four hundred dollars
was the least counterfeit passed by any
of them, and -one bank, if it had taken
tho teller's decision on the money, would
have been stuck for more than $1,000."

Alaska and Tts Seals.

for Alaska, which cost him $7.000,000.

Long-standing
Blood Diseases are cured by
the persevering: use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.
This medicino is an Alterative, and
causes a radical change in the system.
The process, in some cases, maj- not bc
quite so rapid as in others ; hut, with
persistence, the result is certain.
Read these testimonials : -
"Tor two years I suffered from ase?
vere pain in my right sitie, and had
other troubles caused by a torpid liver
and dyspepsia. After giving several
? medicines a fair trial without a eure, I
hegan to tako Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I
was greatly benefited by the first bottle,
and after taking live bottles I was com?
pletely cured." -John W. Benson, 70

Last May a large carbuncle broke out
j (ni my arm. The usual remedir* had no
etTeet anti I was confined to my bed for
eight weeks. A friend induced me to try
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Less than three
bullies healed the .sore. In all ruy ext??

Wonderful Results.
Another marked effect of the use of this
medicine was thc strengthening of my
>;ght." - Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly

"1 had a dry scaly humor for years,
and suffered terribly : and. as my broth?
er and sisirr were similarly alllicted, I
prosumctho malady is hereditary. Last
winter. Dr. Tymn, {of Fernandina,

Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a j*ear.
For Jive mouths I took it daily. I have
not had a blemish upon my Inxly for the

Chambers st., New York City.
" Last fall and winter I was troubled
with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I
did not notice it much at rirst, but it
gradually grew worse until it became
almost unbearable. During the latter
part of this time, disorders of thc stom?
ach ami liver increased my troubles. I
began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and,
after faithfully continuing the use of
this medicine for some months, the pain
disappeared and I was completely
cured."-Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush,
