TIE eyentful year Of 1881 /. abOu

The eventful year Of 1881 is about
to yield up the ghost. II has indeed
been rich in incidents. The head of
the Russian Government was taken
of by bomb placed by the Nihilists
as he was enjoying a Sunday after
noon ride. -Four persons were exc
cuted fer the crime, and scores were
exiled to a barren country, to suffer a
life worse than death, but none too
severe for the horrible plot. In our
own free country we have seen its
President ruthlessly shot down, to
linger in horrible suffering for two and
a half months, and then to die, while
his miserable slayer still lives to adj
vertise himself in one Of the most
farsical courts ever held in any coun-
try. Droughts have impoverished
the country, fires and storms have de-
vastated sections, and accidents, at
tended by fearful loss Of life, have
occurred almost everywhere. The
heavens, too, have We'd with the earth
in making the year the more remarka-
BILE. Perihelions have been numer-
Gus, and comet after comet has
frightened the skies. And yet, after
all, things are not near as bad as they
might be. Our country, especially,
is in a prosperous condition. and our
county and State doing even better
than might have been expected. We
have many reasons to be thankful, not
the least Of which is that Mother

all things would come, was not full

hope never to look again, and bring

acquired nearly 100000 additional
population since 1860, and has raised
crops every year. at an annual net
profit of s27, 500,0 900, there are plenty
of men who would disgrace the State
by repudiating its honest debts. And
the same men would steal. If they

supposed would be done with him, he
said he had studied up the law On in

sane asylum, and find that, under the
law, can, after few months, have

my case, and, Of course, they will find
me sane, and | will be discharged. y
This is exactly the plan Of the defense
as developed by the trial, and if il sue
ceeds, the whole country will resent
the outrage. The doctor was con-
WINGED that Guitcau was playing his

HAYES refuses to contribute to the

considers himself too poor. 1t strikes
us that a man who has taken, in sala.

the Treasury, which properly be-
longed to Samuel J. Tilden, and who
made, besides, $3.50 per month by
drawing his salary a month before it
was due, might ascribe some other
excuse for his parsimoniousness than
poverty. But Hayes is a natural
