When the centennial. • anniversary •of the birth of a man is%tatule the occasion of public commemorative ceremonies in many - lands, his life must have been pre-eminently dis tinguished by . its • unselfish devotion to the good of mankind.

The educated, cultivated enlightened mind of generations demonstrates Its character by its recognition and just appre ciation of the services of those .who ..in their tired haVe Contributed to this perfect Progress. It is as sad as true, however, that modern public opinion has been 'dwarfed or corrupted by the worship of little idols of clay and of brass, so that it may be feared a proper reve rence for, or devout homage of the highest types of!tnind and :culture, are passing away. Therefore tins occasion , and its .ceremonies which now convene 1113' are -especially signifi cant. _ On the 14th day 'of September, 1769 4 Freder ick Henry Alexander Von Humboldt was born in Berlin. The second.son of his parents, of a 1519ble.family, respected in. court andeamp; he was 'destined by the decrees • of God's- provi dence to become a benefactor to his kind. Gerinany,has - the honor to be his fatherland, but hiS' , brains naturalized him into the citizen ship :Of the' world. ,„This the. world ac- Inowledged While' . be lived, since, 'and now.,We are not one of those who-believe that education is. the single necessity of intellectual Tillage oftlie ]and conduces to its fruitful ness and plenty, but it is 'not the substitute for soil. The ' , ..!tive power of brain force is hi struction; :LIM the results attained are greater or less, as inherent capacities are educated by devoted application to favorite specialties. Von Humboldt's ,youth was , a remarkable verification of this assertion. He Was taught by his aptitude for special studies. His fame, his illustrious name rest on the self-dedication to inherent capacities. Those "new methods of education"which, about 1776, first excited interest in Germany, bionght to Humboldt's aid instructors Who scouted that method which develops "the memory, not the mind." To Cainpe, Kunth, Hein- Blumenbach and Fos ter, the student Humboldt owed the training and education of his "innate tendencies" for natural science. , Had Humboldt been 'sent to home modern university, which exists only, by reason of the name, where respectability seeks professor ships, and incapacity fills the chairs; science and philbSopby 4 on, this Centennial Anniver- Sary of his birth, would not dignify, by their improfaned tributes, monuments 'and honors to - ids name and memory. Humboldt , was taiiglit to know, He was instructed to Ws cotreri to find out. -Therefore his life waS a constant worship of the almost divine " - Wily?" ,Investigation was the effort of . his intellect; the. aim of his labors.- Flowers, 'star, earth gnake,, volcano; mine and mountain; the earth, sea and air, and the heavens he inves tigated ;; examined 'to learn why God had made laws for them to obey, and what those laws are. From his first essay in 1790, "Mine ralogical observation on some' Basaltic formation of the Rhine" to his: sixty-. one free- scientific public lectures in Berlin ; his voyages and travels until his great work Kosinds, from first to last, induc tion was the prompter ,of his mental labor. Bis intellect was ever ,asking from all his efforts, .0 1 3 7 ? To -day, in-almost all languages, - Humboldt's name is receiving honor. On this continent he was the Columbus of science. Great truths which here nature Withheld until he came as the-discoverer to• search thenr - ont;-inipel - America to join her offerings of homage and gratitude. Now that a century has passed since his birth, the world accords to liumboldt a first place among students and thinkers. We therefore gladly participate in the ceremonies which proclaim the universal verdict of the mind of the world. Freemasonry thus here approv ingly aids. in her temple are "taughtvirtue, science, and arts. We worship God. ivho endowed 118 With faculties to understand and value them. ' Humboldt gave light to the scientific mind of the world. He worked in the Temple of Nature as we work in the Masonic Temple, dedicated to mysteries only thereto be known. Free MaSonry sheds her never-failing light on his monument, the corner-stone of which is here laid, that the future may know the in scription the present writes upon it: "The works of genius are treasures the ages preserve for mankind." The R. W. Grand Chaplain then pronounced the benediction . .IClityttie blessings of God Almighty, who made the heaven and the earth, and all worlds, and they who dwell therein, be with us all, and remain with us, nOw and forever. AMEN. This concluded the Masonie:eeremonies GERMAN ORATION BY.DR. KELLNER. Pr: CT' .Kellner,Of the Philadelphia /) emokrat, then delivered an, oration in German. The following is a - tranglatiotrof - the - oration - : Alexander Thimbeldt—name of everlasting fame—agitating to-day the whole world— which bows before it everywhere at this moment. Alexander Humboldt is the watchword of the hour. Wonderful sight! The lofty genius of a great man .uniting at thin moment—the—cultivated —minds of•all= iiiiiiiitai, - With - o - iii - aliference of politics, language and race, to the same public worship of his memory, and the worship of the .only true universal science—the science of that which really exists—the science of natural history. There NM a time when the human intellect in its infancy was so completely occupied with • the solution of the mysteries of its own self, that it commanded neither insight, time nor Strength enough to investigate the wonders of. nature, and to understand its perpetual,fh'nily established laws in their intimate and insepa • - rable connection. • The people of those times .imaginedthe uni verse or the Macrocosm to be constructed in the very manner as human nature called Mi crocosm. • With feelings of dependent inipp mortai mankind bow. b - efore nature, the omnipotent mother and before the super human power of creation and deatraction to whom man's phantasy addicted human error and human pasSions,personified them as gods, and made them rule the universe.

To-morrow is the centennial anniversary of the birthday of, this' hero of civilization, • - • At that time Germaq had scarce recovered from the devastation of the %Melt' years' war: In all Europe the so-ealled intelligent classes fluctuated between Atheism and ! Superstition,. between veneration, of ;Voltaire* and fear of the 'necromancy of aeaglioktro.- . '•The people languished finder the yoke of small despots, who-recognized•no limits-for their • licentious excesses andthe abuse of the poor man. Or in the larger countries the people sutiered from the oppression Of a so-called enlightened_ paternal despotism, without' any will of its own, or even the idea Oa, right to. a will of . its, own; or': AO any, educa tion . and intellectual:culture. The day of freedom liad•not yet dawned nroM America's shores• to overpower with the splendor of its rays the- night of European servitude and to diSpel the darkness of ig norance. - : . • The natural sciencesbad• at that time made remarkable progress,•.and eminent men began to Make researches in their different branches. The middle classes becaine interested, while the mass of the people still lived in profound ignorance. The higher classes' also acquired taste fi - study, but to' c-117- a taste for ten: study, but too often only to further superstition - and.personal interests l through alchemy, through the preparation of an elixir 'of life or the philosopher's stone. A. von numbodlt birnself ;belonged by his birth to these higher classes, but his extraordinary/ in tellect soon ,applied itself to the systematic/ After a careful edacatiOn at home, he had the good fortune to study branches of nat ural history under : ,the ,first Scientific men of the times ; nor did .hp.neglect to, study math ematics, technoldgy, political economy, his tery, geography, ancient ,and!.Modern lan guages with German . ,thoroughness and un tiring diligence. . . His extensive echicatiOn became the basis for his deSire andhigh gratification to Understand and describe nature in her unity and cohe sion. More than half a century passed away before his wishes were realized.heibre the old Man dared to Carry out hts'gigantic project , for which he had worked and collected so indus triously since his youth and which he had made the higher aim of. his life, modestly doubting whether he would ever reach it—be fore that book of books, that bible of natural sciences, before the Cosmos could be pub lished. That half century which Humboldt passed in restless study for the preparation of his Cosmos was full of momentous incidents. The first French revolution disturbed all Europe. Napoleon 'rose and vanished like a bloody meteor. Crowns were kist, and thrones fell ; war and insurrection followed , each other in quick succession,. In the midst of all this con fusion, this distress and bloodshed the noble genius of Hiunboldt proceeded on its quiet path in the servico of truth;to appear at last before the workla radiant 'star, whose beams for all times throw a blessed light, to which all look pp in thankful reverence. ..It was half a century of 'earnest researches 'and explora tiOns' of 'arduous labors for Humboldt. The beginning was his great five years' journey to nexico and South America, to which we are indebted . for such rich and valuable. informa tion ,concerning those countries and their in habitants. • It Was here where Humboldt gained his extraordinary intuition of nature. which "considers all physical phenomena in the chain.of connection by, which all natural forces are linked together and made mutually dependent upon each other." (Introduction of Closmes.) 'The formation Of the mountains, the climate, the ground, the people, the animal and vegetable kingdom, ill were .sub ject to his investigations; And besides. he made the most successful astronomical obser vations. In one word "Heaven and' earth lie eXplored, revealed nature's and freed the Mind." Those experiences , and collected facts, he ,compared'withAhose of subseqUent travels . in Siberia, and the 'results of his literary studies, . arranged them undor general laws, and deter ' mined:the rules of thephysical World "in their • general influence on the intellectual advance ment of mankind"—to subdue "by force of mind it great portion of the .physical world to the dominion of man."—(COSmos). A new spirit, that of Humboldt, has imparted a new and great impulse, to the researches in Natural .History, and has extended a greater horizon to man's investigating powers. .It was this spirit which has subsequently lead and-en couraged ollthose renowned travelers in diffi cult explorations in distant countries. Upon his return. from South ;America to Europe • yia Hayana,-Humbohlt-yisited our- country. In May, 1804: he arriVed with his faithful : yellow-' traveler; Bonpland, in Philadelphia, where he remained several days, and visited President jeliersion at Washington. The great Winsh ingtmi, for whom he felt the highestreverence, bad already departed from this world: Oku the I:th of June, ISO 4, he again embarked on the Delaware for Europe. Perhaps his foot. has . rested on the spot where we now sixty-two years later; celebrate his memory; and , are about to erect him a monument for all time. Independently of the high scientific and in tellectual worth, his writings are characterized by their noble and yet so poetic language. This is especially applicable to his "Views of Nature" that beautiful hymn of the physical world, which are ranked among the best clas sical works of German literature. But above all things, this nmst be said of 'his great mast er-piece,the Cosines, that bible of Nature. Co!.inos is the Ci reeltiword for the universe or for its description. The appearance of this great production formettan epoch in the scientific world. In it Were itot_ouly_set—forthAhe_re, sults of the explorations and thinking of more than fifty years' study of 'the author him-' self, but the exploration of all times, ."interro gating the history of the past; and tracing the mysterious course of ideas," (Cosmos) ar ranged in a harmonious unity, a giant work which only the mind of a Humboldt -could . accomplish. But-as a 1)1 made astill atained an indefinite mass of factA, exp. ns,Jand ob servations, intelligible to every educated mind. It represented to the astonished world nature in her ponderous yet beautiful and graceful structure. Itfidiilled what it promised and intended. Humboldt "vividly described the conceptions and enjoyments imparted' by the pure love of nature, and lie clothed her -thought-in - high - and - exaltedforins of speeclr, bearing . witness to the majesty and greatness of the creation." [Cosmos.] By his magic, wand the pure spring of no,' hire 8 - knowledge sprang forth . htore the eyes of the astonished people. In this manner the great Goethe characterized Humboldt's a stupendous and manifold labor. Amazed end delighted the admiring masses thronged around to quench their burning thirst-for knoWledge. The mysteries of the works of the philosopher Were thereby disclosed to the people. This was Humboldt's greatest work. As a man of seventy-sik, Humboldt stepped before the people a high4riest of knowledge, and dispelled the bane of . the inyage of Sais, lifted the vail and showed the attentive masses the unvailed form cif nature. in. her - sUpreme' majesty and *enchanting:, beauty, ,moved by her own power-harmonyand law. This was a work of liberty not . ex celled for centuries. "Nature is the empire of freedom !"' (Werner). Humboldt . proclairded to the ruled and to their rulers. Ignorance and superstition trembled, The sword of , empires shook in the hands' of despots who enslave body and mind; the suppressed Genius of Liberty ex tended his fettered arms over Humboldt to .bless the liberator; and thankful Mankind ' crowned him with laurels. The aristocrats of the whole world therefore are anti be his enemies. Did he not destroy all' their privi leges and authorities by disclosing for all the wealth of true knowledge, the empire of nature arul freedom? How insignificantis it that the groat apOstle ak ;liberty (as malice and calumniation points out) resided at a princely court; that, he 'was covered with titles and knightly orders, and: that he - was a . friend of a King!

At the conclusion of Dr. Relluer's oration there was musiii by the orchestra. ORATION ItY PROF. MORTON Prof. Henry, Morton was then introduced. He said: „Ladies and Gentlemen: The honors which we have thik day met/to conferlipon the memory of Humboldt have a peculiar significance both for him and for us, when we consider the especial character of his genius and the na ture of those studies to which ..his life was de voted. • In these ages of material prOgress,and when the advance inthe direction of tangible bene fit to our physical existence is so rapid that it requires almost the exclusive deyotion of our minds to these subjects to keep up with the rapid march of human intellect and skill in this direction, it speaks volumes for the grandeur of genius in that man whose work, devoted to the simple acquisition and arrange ment of knowledge without reference to its ap plication to the wants, the Comforts or the lux uries of human life, should have evoked such a demonstration of . regard as this Iran a foreign-peopleand a-distant land i Had Humboldt been the inventor of the steam engine, by which, More or less directly, -but always indubitably, we •are provided with the necessities and also the countless luxuries of raiment which, in more than floral gor geousness of coloring and grace of form, now spread themselves before my eye if he had invented the telegraph, by which not only our material wants, but our • higher cravings of the mind and of the.airections are in so many ways ministered to; had he been the dis coverer of anesthesia, that divine gift to hu manity by which the horrors of pain have been so mercifully spared to myriads; had hci introduced to our knowledge any of the hun dred means and agents by whose aid has .been secured to us that refinement of comfort, con venience and pleasure which constitut the taiigible,visible, prominent part of Our modern civilization—it would be easy to understand how a nation, or a great 'city like our own, equal in wealth and power, not to mention territory, to some of the famous nations of ty,._shauldAtali ghtin_doingiiim_ honor—, . But Humboldt was mine of these. He was, in the first place, a thorough student of natu ral science, especially in the directions of min eralogy, geology, botany and zoology, not excluding, however, all the cognate or affili ated subjects. He was, besides, a great traveler and .student of nature in her own_works, and. -from his indefatigable researches addi lig count less treasures to the stores of his favorite Wiiecs. He was lik - eitlialiciiiisf-Ve - 61117th - e success with which he collected his treasures from the Wide field of nature ; but that Which -he collected and stored away was not at once applicable to the support and gratification of his race, but was of that higher order of pos sessions which time ripens and does notdecay, and which, after ages of repose in the grana ries of learning, at last itre brought out just, 31lieitneeded,:replete7with-a-vital-foree-widel . enables them to grow and produce fruit an hundred-fold. Such labors and achievement:4'as these, how -eVer, must be colossal in their magnitude to attract the attention and claim the homage of the world at large. There is, however, another view to be taken' of this present ceremony and demonstration, which may well be a source of pleasure to those of us who look for, and believe in, the, forward -progress of our race. This recogni tion by the masses of the highest order of in-. tellectual merit is certainly a favorable symp tom in the present and a happy augury for the future.

He heard. lectures on ,the ; functions of money, learned bookkeeping, no&led himself in count ing-house affairs, and practiced the modern jangtiages .with numerous stedents front ail parts of. Europe. He next engaged in the study of practical mining. In 1792 he, was appointed asseSserla the mining department, and then. Was_ promoted to the post of superior mining officer in Franconia, which office he held for five yearsi,exploring nduingdiStricto in tipper Bavaria, .Galicui and Southern Prussia. He experimented on the nature .Of fire-!lamp in mines, and made dangerous researches in spaces artificially filled withirrespirable gases, using a respiratory machine .constructed on the principle of Bailees. In 1706 he was urged by. Des= to attach himself to the French ex pedition to. Egypt. In the following :year he famffinriZed himself with praktical astronomy and studied anatomy. He arranged for scientific journeys to Italy ; ; then to Upper Egypt; then prepared to eccempany Captain Batulln around the world ail of .Which failed, owing to the necessities of war,' ; Disappointed also in a joiuneytO Algiers he Proceeded, in cOm- - pany with his friend,BonpLand ; te:Madrid;was received. with 111.4thiguits1ieil favor, and from merely perkinalconfidence,all the Sp'anishpos sessions in America and the East were opened to Win, With privileges such as had never be fore been . grapted.to any traveler. • In com pany withilonpland, he embarked on June 17b9; and arrived in Venezuela 'Jnly Id, 1799, remaining therenighteen months. _ They set: Out over the grassy plains, to the Apure, and then, in canoes made of hollow trunks of trees, nade their way to within two degrees of the equator, furnishing the first positive knowledge as to tho disputed bifurcation: of the Orinoco. They-then visited Citha,and again went to South America in 1801. In.lBo2,,after experiencing the greatest , difficulties ; they ,reached Quito. Favored ,by circum stances, they ascended some' of the snow capped Volcanoes to heights not before at tamed, On Chimborazo, June 23d,1802, they reached the unprecedented altitude of 18,09 e feet, and were prevented' only by. a deep cre vasse from reaching the summit. After tam, • yersing the Andes they proceeded to Lima,and embarked at . Callao, reached Acapulco in in-the- April, explored the country, arranged their 'rich collections and reduced their obser vations -to order, and made aprofile of-the-- country from sea to sea, the first that was ever given of any country. Leaving. Mexico in the spiting of 1804,Humboldt visited the 12 ni ted States, arriving at Philadelphia, enjoyed a friendly reception, at Washington from President Jefferson, and on Aug. 3, 1801, he landed i t BOrdeanx, Fra nee, having spent live years in Anicrica,auff gained a larger store Of ots,e'vations and collections in - all .depart melts of natural science, ingeogrephy, statis tics and ethnography than all previous trav elers. resided for some time at Paris, and then," aft, r several European jeurneys', turned to Berlin, after an .abSence of nine " years. Be was selected by the King of Prussia to visit Paris in company with Prince on account of his great knowledge of influential persons and expe rience. As one of the foreign memberS of the French Academy of Science, he resided in Parleireni.lBllB..telB27lferedinifilffonenf., the highest positions at the Court of Berlin,he chose to remain in the sokiety of the illustrious men who then made Paris the centre of intel lectual culture.
