 CENTENNIAL OF OUR NATIONALITY. 
 
 It is an occasion to commemorate with festivities, wherein all 
 dwellers in this glorious syndicate of free institutions should join 
 hands. 
 
 The peoples of all sections have met together to strew upon the 
 sacred soil the bright roses of the century's memories, while multi- 
 tudes rejoice and many bands play quick music to the dead march of 
 time.

 Backward rolls the tide of events through the bitter and bloody 
 struggle for independence until, amid palms and plaudits, with the 
 victor's crown upon his brow, George Washington was chosen 
 President of the States, and took the oath of office on the balcony 
 of old Federal Hall just one hundred years ago. 
 
 Since then the march of progress, though marked by the casual- 
 ties of a civil war which drained the life-blood from hundreds of 
 thousands of noble citizens, has yet been onward and upward to the 
 heights upon which we stand to-day, supreme amid the nations, 
 God-fearing, and self-sustained. 
 
 BENJAMIN HARRISON. 
 
 As a people we have the widest ground upon which to congratu- 
 late ourselves, above and beyond the constantly accruing territories 
 within our jurisdiction. 
 
 The deft fingers of native industry have made our wildernesses 
 to blossom " as the rose." In every section glitter the spires of 
 hundreds of towns and cities where flows, in ample channels, the 
 nation's prosperous life. There are asylums for the afflicted, and 
 workshops for the strong ; and there are churches for all.

 From a thousand temple towers resounds the glad refrain of the 
 old bell in Independence Hall, which was the first to proclaim 
 "liberty throughout the land, to all the inhabitants thereof," the 
 heritage we are here, with loyal hearts, to celebrate amid the conse- 
 crated symbols of undying devotion. 
 
 Behold the conquering hero fresh from the blood-stained field ! 
 See him take his place once more in the congress of his coadjutors ! 
 Behold the world electrified the struggling Nation free, and he its 
 chosen President ! How grave and dignified the father-face uplifted 
 beneath the triumphal arch at Philadelphia ! 
 
 MARTHA WASHINGTON. 
 
 How fraught with wisdom and tempered with justice his first mes- 
 sage, with music swelling and cannon booming, amid a tumult of 
 exaltation which we are here to emulate. 
 
 Few are left to tell the story of New York as it was a hundred 
 years ago ; but there are some landmarks standing, sentinel-like, 
 along the pathway of progression, while human currents ebb and flow 
 and aggregate among the fresh and powerful nineteenth-century 
 influx. The academic press that siren-voiced organ of all nations, 
 sends its campaniles into the sky. Bridges span our circling rivers, 
 and palaces multiply along our thoroughfares. Trade rears its tem- 
 ples, and Commerce crowns its kings with a discrimination which 
 speaks volumes for our busy age.

 These are days during which the greatest problems are being 
 solved, and the very lightnings are harnessed to the chariot wheels of 
 advance. To the past belongs the prowess of such achievements as 
 those with which the great liberator broke the cable of our bondage 
 to the mother country. Yet we of to-day are forced to know the war 
 of wits, the constant contact of mind with mind, the wear and tear of 
 fierce and trying competition.

 Precedence amid the principalities and " powers that be " is simply 
 a question of human capability. 
 
 As an example, we refer our readers to the late Edward Ridley, 
 venerable head and founder of the house of E. Ridley & Sons. But 
 half a century ago, the great stores in Grand, Allen, Orchard and 
 Eldridge streets, New York, were represented by one small stand ; 
 but, like the germ of the giant oak, it was solid and enduring, and it 
 stands to-day encompassed within its own immensity. Root and

 branch are an historic instance of the efficacy of the perfect leader- 
 ship which controls its forces with a view to safe and enduring 
 results. 
 
 To have served the great public upon any plane during the briefest 
 lapse is commendatory. To have continued the pleasant office for 
 half a century of unbroken transactions constitutes a commercial 
 anomaly of which there are but few instances in our trade traditions. 
 
 Strangers from all sections who come to the Centennial celebration 
 are visiting in numbers this Caravansary of the world's wares and 
 wonders. The New York TRIBUNE has set forth its patronage in an 
 item concerning their spring opening :

 THE HOUSE OF E. RILlLEY IN 1849. 
 
 " The army of clerks has been busy from early until late waiting or. 
 the hundreds of patrons. Ridley's has been an important house in 
 this city during the last fifty years, and it bids fair to last another 
 half century. Inside of the store one is dazed at the lavish display of 
 beautiful and useful articles. Every article of clothing worn by men 
 or women, from the time that they are babies till the last farewells arc- 
 said, can be found at Ridley's.

 Not only that, but a good stock of carpets and furniture, and many 
 useful household articles, are also on hand. The display of hats and 
 bonnets on the second floor of the large building, and the display of 
 ladies' suits on the third floor, are particularly beautiful and artistic. 
 One handsome bonnet rested on a cap-shaped skeleton frame, with 
 verot rose velvet binding on the edge, covered with serpent green 
 lees, a wreath of graduating chrysanthemums around the crown, fall- 
 ing over all being a piece of lees lace, embroidered with pearl spangles, 
 and on the top a small bunch of shaded tips of copper, verot rose, and 
 green tints. 
 
 LATE EDWARD RIDLEY. 
 
 There are many other handsome bonnets, and if there are none 
 to suit already made up, a customer can buy the kind of a frame she 
 wants, and the style of trimming that suits her, and have it made up 
 while she waits. In the suit department there are so many hand- 
 some things that it is hard to tell which best deserves especial 
 mention." 
 
 But the beautiful thing is, they are all sold at figures which bring 
 standard articles of excellent quality within the reach of the day 
 laborer as well as the millionaire ; and this was the mission conceived 
 and executed by Mr. Edward Ridley, and confirmed by the present 
 heads and their corps of well-qualified coadjutors.
