100 YEARS HENCE.

We have received f ron the; publishers, Messrs A. Vogeler the,- Prey prietors of the famous " St Jacobs Oil," A copy' of the * BostbiT Daily Globe/ Sated Thursday morning, January 1, 1981, that is, nearly 100 years hence. Of course the paperis* monster advertisement of the firm, but still it must be admitted that no undue prominence is ' given to the commodity they want to bring into, public notice. The paper, albeit being somewhat difficult to read owing to the Bmallness of the -type, is very entertaining. From it: America would appear to be the whole world, though there are dim references. made with regard to the existence of other nations. It .has annexed Cuba and Canada, the North Pole or the Refriger ator Commonwealth, and the moon is a suburb of it, with which communication is effected by sorial cars, its population is 800,000,000, and the'following year, when", Brazil and Chili will be annexed its population will be 1,000,000,000, The country at the North Pole was discovered 100 years' previously by a ship fitted' out by the New York Herald, and had 400,000 inhabitants until the heat of the previous year melted the snow on the mountains,.„ and 200,000 perished beneath avalanches. The New York Herald had been suppressed some 60 years previously, owing to having supported imperialism, There is a great immigration from Africa of men 5 covered^' s Avitlr Mair, and having, swallow* tails, for whom Chinese entertain fearful hatred. The tower of London has been made a present of by the British Empire, to America, and 500,000 dollars are placed, on the estimates for, reraoving.it to Washington. There' "is a great discussion nn the Senate.as ;■ to'which ■< oftwo -routes to the moon is the best, but the Globe is in favor of the Aerial Navigation Company's route. Two flying machines "flap" daily between New York and San Francisco, and collisions between aerial ships in mid-air are pretty frequent. Pieces of the wrecks' fffiling: to/i the streels smesh per-" sons" •pretty*' s corisTderablyii but J medical science has reached to such a degree of perfection that , with'the aid .of ; St Jacob's, Oil, they are cured in a few hours. One boy had his head completely ' hashed up,' the brain beiDg protruding through the skull, but he was made as well as ever the same evening. Twenty-eight millions of votes is the modest majority one candidate for the presidency has over his opponent. The telegraphic columns I how that as usual there is a fearful revo-

r'lufion "m Mexico. To borrow money is made by law a crime punishable with death. Evolution is hotter understood, and the entertainments in tho theatre consists of exhibitions of how man is developed from the lower animals. In one scene the plaintive singing of a female baboon on the evening previously ;toi developing into a woman areillustrated.and the Globe gives a pathetic description of her great sorrow in haying to, change her condition. Sixty years previously there had been an effort made to place a king; on the American throne, but of course the Republicans after a bloody war quelled the rebellion, and banished the rebels. A Bill to allow these exiles to return meets with much, opposition in Congress, but as there is only one man of them alive the matter is compromised, and it is resolved to allow him to retur.i on condition that they commit to memory Frank Sandbore's papers on the management of. lunatics. A delicious, kind of cannon for warfare has beerfjdyepvered.; Fop time previously the cold" blast camion, as it iscal'ed, used to freeze people to deathinstead of shattering thorn to pieces, but the new discovery only numbs them, and thus,'though' it answers as well, life is spared. Telegrams from Ireland that" there" is a great discussion in the_ Irish Republican House of Delegates on.the .petition praying for giving relief to 3,000,000 starving English farmers. It appears that Ireland is a very rich country since" it abohsliedlaririidrds, and it advises Englishmen to do the same, and they will have no more famines. But the great wonder of the age is the Bosto,n Globe Office. The machine that prints it casts 0ff300,000 copies per mihifto,*bu tthftt is not enough, and it calls upon the inventive genius cf America to devise some machine that will keep pace with its in'rceasing circulation of 20,000,000 copies. The machine extends over many streets. Editors have only to throw in copy, when it is immediately photographed to plates, from which the impression is taken.
