I READ THIS ARTICLE INAN OLD NEUSPAPER, AND I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT THE PUBLIC EVENTS OF THE LAST THREE MONTHS ARE OF THE CLASS WHICH WILL GO INTO ITS PERMANENT HISTORY WE HAVE BEEN LIVING IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF HISTORY WHICH WILL BE IMMORTALLY PRESERVED. EVEN THE BRIEF SERIES OF IMPORTANT DATES TO BE COLLATED FOR THE USE OF THE SCHOOLBOYS OF CENTURIES HENCE WILL CONTAIN THE DAY OF THE ASSASSINATION AND THE DAY OF THE DEATH OF PRESIDENT GARFIELD THE INTERMEDIATE EVENTS CO-RELATED LIKE THE DEFEAT OF ROSCOE CONKLING WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST, BUT WILL SCARCELY BELKELY To STAND PROMINENTLY OUT FROM THE PAGE OF HISTORY WRITTEN IN 1881. TO US WHO HAVE BEEN THE WITNESSES SO TO SPEAK, OF THE TRAGIC INCIDENT5 OF THE TIMES IT SEEMS ENTİRELY PROBABLE FAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WIL ER ERLY SCAN EVERY FEATURE OF THE RECENT BEREAVEMENT WHICH THE NATION HAS SUFFERED HOW ACCURATELY WILL FUTURE GENERATIONS KNOU THE IMMENSE VOLUME OF GRIEF AND S0RROW WHICH HAS ROLLED OVER THE LAND? WILL THOSE WHO COME AFTER US EVER BE ABLE To UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT OF OUR LOS5? IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE FIRST CENTURY OF OUR HISTORY-EVEN THE DEATH OF THE GREAT LINCOLN-JHICH CAN BE USED AS A PARALLEL? PERHAPS A CAREFUL READING OF THE DAILY PAPERS OF THE PRESENT PERIOD MAY GIVE SOME FUTURE ANTIQUARIAN A FINE IDEA OF THE FEELINGS OF THE NATION DURING THE PAST SUMMER. BUT THESE JOURNALS ARE SO LARGE, S0 FULL OF DETAIL, THAT WE IMAGINE THE COMING AMERICAN WILL NEVER FIND TIME TO READ THE RECORD HE MUST DEPEND ON A BRIE STATEMENT MEAGERLY COMPILED BY SOME DRY AND TEDIOUS HISTORIAN. THE BLOOMINGTON DAILY PANTAGRAPH SEPTEMBER 30TH 188 MAN. THE PAST IS S0 BIG HOW DO HISTORIANS EVEN COPE? I HAVE NO IDEA. I HONESTLY HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE JUST WITH THE PRESENT
