Passing Events.

The year 1870, which has just closed
has been, a. all must admit, one Of the
most evcntiul Of the nineteenth cen
tury, The changes that have occurred
in this country during the past ten
years are numerous and important ;
but the uplurnings in Europe the past
six months were not only less expected,
but more violent when they came.
They may be very properly compared
to the sudden rise Of terrific storm.
When the French nation accepted The
dynasty OF Napoleon III, it was the
general opinion that the crisis in Euro.
pean affairs was thereby delayed, il
not altogether averted. la the early
part OF last year Napoleon Ill. occupied
towering position us the Emp, ror
Of France, and 10 great measure
dictated 10 the nations OF th. earth, but
now lies in the dust, being held in
conleupt even by the people whom
he SO recently ruled. The coutinuod
success OF the German armies has in-
spired them with the highest martial
spiit, They have achieved for Ger
many the most astounding military
successes, and suddenly she fiDdS her
self elevated TO pre.emIneht position
among the nations Of Europe.
Events perhaps lot less important
than those mentioned above have ta-
ken place NJ Rome. History for CEN
turies past does not chronicle changes
of such magnitude as have occurred
there The dignitaries OF the Romish
Church from all parts OF tho earth.

Most High but to-day we lind him
shorn Of the temporal power which
he has yielded for SO many years,
and id which he gloriej, subject in
great degree TO the political aurhori-
~ of people whom be dispises.
Our own couutry has apparently
suffered from those signal overIuru-
lngs upon the European Coutiuent.
Nevertheless, we must be indirectly
sufferers TO some extent, for il is im-
possible for any piople OF any nation
having commercial dealings with US
to suffer aud We remain unaffected BY
their misfortune,
Apart from foreign influences, our
own country has not made much pro-

American weeds.

| It's stated that there are pow 90
loss than two huodrcj and fourteen
weeds. which have been introduced
into the United States from foreign
countries, aud principally from Eng
lani. AS a proof Of the rapijity
with which useless plants are acci.
lcntally brought over tho seas, il is
said tha in 1897 there were only on1
hundred and thiry-sevSn foreign
weeds known in this country As far
back as 1872, s curious little volume
called New England's Rliities,"
gave list Of twenty-five rlruts,
which the author considered had

had kept cattle IN New Eng
l,nd. The author mcutions the plan
tain, which he says tic Indians call
the Ensli,hman's FOOT as though
producad by the tread Of the whito
settlers. The common yellow ,ocd
aix.' it is stated was originally intro
iucrd into the provinces Of Pcuusyl-
vania as a g,rllu 4 wcr bya Mr.
Ran'tcad, u Wclshman, residing in
Philadelphia from whom it has de-
rived the name OF "Raustcad weed"
In lbs this weed had oyalruu the
the a'ture5 N the inha5it, d part OF
the State Of Pennsylvania, and was
the cause Of the bitter Complaints
from tho agrculturls,s Of thit day.
Chckwted, it i stated, was introlu
ed in South Carolina As food for cana-
ry rls, and ia tcu years spread for
upwards Of & ty miles, and now occu.
pies the outpostS of civilization. The
Scotch thistle is said to have been
br oght 10 America by q clergyman
who carried with him q bel stuffed
with thistle down, 10 which some seed
remained. Feathers being cheap in
the new country were substituted for
the down, which was soon cmptied
out, and the seed Swinging up filed
the country with th-,lc4. Another
occ0unt.says some enthusiastic SEQ.
introduced the th s,lc s an emblem of
