During the year, dorcpPorter led a naval -force against the Commo- __ „ .. W«at;Iiu dian pirates .and dispersed them. The public ch’dercd but a more important event was the setting up and starting of the first American steam-power printing - press by Benthuysen, Albany, (N. Y.) printer. Con- peas in 1823 made its first venture in railroad legis lation, incorporating a company to build a railroad "from Philadelphia to Columbia, Pa. This-was con- i hidefed decidedly less important than the completion tr. i9f. toe Champlain Canal, connecting'Hudson River .. Press dispatches relate that Joseph Allen Russell, residing in Lampasas, Tex., will celebrate his 110th birthday April 12th. As the old gentleman con templates the innumerable changes he has lived through, a feeling Of bewilderment undoubtedly en velopes him. Think of America today and of the America in the year he was bom. Iq 1813, America was rather a dull place to live, excepting for exciting war news’. The war with Great Britain continued, though rather sporadically. Perry won his naval victory on Lake Erie. Meantime, the British blockade of our coast ports was drawn tighter. No transportation of goods for export was permitted, except by special presidential permit. Creek Indians were on the warpath in the south. The national government’s expenses during the year totaled $39,190,520. This figures, considered terri fic in those days, created much opposition to con tinuance of the war With Britain. It was a big event for. (people of 1813 when they got, sandwiched be tween their war news, the announcement that the first ferry-boat had begun making trips between Brooklyn and New York. The public in 1813 objected strepuously to a special war tax of $2 to $20 apiece on carriages, which reminds you of modern auto taxes. Maybe, after all, there were lots of interest ing events'in 1813 that weren’t recorded because there were so few newspapers. Even Boston had no daily paper until 1813. - In 1823, when Russell was 10 years old, leverita were more interesting. New Hampshire had be come a great manufacturing state, with 28 cotton a factories, 20 iron mills and 22 distilleries—which many wets will consider about the right proportion. Liquor seemed to keep great minds busy in 1823, Thomas Ewbanks inventing a process of plating lead pipes with tin, for “stills.” Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, in 1828 began the manufacture of wine rtj'JWth -Lake Champlain. j- Yes, Joe Russell has lived through tremendous * —^changes. He saw a backwoods America develop in to the richest and most powerful nation in all his- - tory. It. makes you wonder whether you also will !' «jt*e-equally great changes if you, like he, live to 110. Life seems startling, magical, today. And yet our marvels of 1923 will be antiquated before the cer.tury is up, and will be laughed at as old-fashioned by the people of the year 2000. - Thras thing* ■ hive epeken un to you, that In me ye might hive peace.
