The HorrorsofISs8.

Whether the events Of this fatal
year of our Lord 1883 have any re
ference to the realization Of prophecy
or to the constituting Of Scripture de-
clarations or not, no one will question
that it has thus Ear been . terrible
year in its destructive valuations upon
people, their lives and their property.
Whether it has eliminated in the ter.
rible disaster atIschia, which in the
twinkling of an eye and without warn
ing devastated that "smiling island, !"
and swept thousands out of existence
remains to be seen but this is only
one of many disasters that have march
ed their black PROCESSION across the
globe. Last year was considered .
fatal year, but the fatalities of seven
months of 1888 already exceed those
of the whole year of 1882. In our
own land, in January, is persons were
drowned ty the upsettIng of a Astboat
in North Carolina, 10 were killed by
q mine explosion in this state, and so
lost their lives in the Newhall house
fire. In February, foods at various
places drowned so people, and II lost
their lives at Braidwood. In March,
ii we're burned at brownsville, Minn.
In April, IA were killed by the fall of
. hotel In Texas, and 200 lost their
lives by tornadoes. In May, Ils
more were killed by tornadoes, and IA
lives were sacrificed in the Brooklyn
bridge panic. In June, floods and
tornadoes killed 5S. This month the
most fearful accidents have been that
of last Friday, near Carlyon, N. Y, by
which IL were killed, and the pier
disaster near Baltimore, which killed
76.
The casualties in the old world have
been infinitely more terrible, as will
be seen by the following appalling list:
Sinking of the Cinbria, 434 foods in
Germany and Hungary, l40; burning
of the circus in Poland, PCS; powder
explosion in Holland, 40; panic in 8
wool factory at Bsmbay, %; avalan-
cue II Nouut ataIdt, iOO, lOsS VI
fishing feet on the English coast, 373;
boiler explosion at Passo Corness,
Italy, 40; mine explosion at Bessier-
es, France, l27; powder explosion at
Scutari, $50; paric at Sunderland,
England, 202; FIRE at Dervis, Italy,
Al; the launch disaster at Glasgow,
$50; FIRE in Hungary, 20; mine explo-
sion in Sicily, 35; and the Ischia Garth
quake, about 5000.
The total of these and other disas-
tiers not necessary to mention tell the
story. Last year about 5000 lives
we're lost as reported by telegraph. In
the first Z months of this year S,100
lives have been reported as lost, and
if to these We add the fatalities by
cholera in June and July in India
{ (12,000) and in Egypt t6,242l, the
sum total of horror amounts to &c, ,342
lives sacrificed by casualties and ep-
idenic, and there are yet five months
of possible terror before US.

play the game. The old fellows who
are strictly honest in their business

plying poker that they think nothing
of taking the young and the new and
"skinning" them as long as they will

How ROgues Are sent to
America.

A Cleveland robber, caught at work,
said that be had been sent to America
by the St. Charles Oh ristian Society
of London. He had been in Ports
mouth prison for robbery: after leav-
ing prison he was on ticket-of- leave
for Is months, and under police sur.
veillance for years. Therefore, when
the society proposed to give him $50
"for good conduct" if he would emf
CRATE, "of course he came at once. "
Four other convicts came over in the
same ship. To the question whether
many rogues we're sent to Americs in
that manner he replied: GA good ma
ny. They don't like to leave the old
country, but they are allowed more
money by the Government if they do,
and get free passage from the Christ
ian societies But this is nothing
compared with getting rid of ticket-of-
leave aud police surveillance.

Judge Adams's charge, as to the matter OF
newspaper libel, is well worth anybody's atten-
ton. As a rule, a newspaper libels nobody.
Once in a great while an unprlnc1pled man will
happen to control q paper. Such a combination
may even libel a man, nut when it does, il Is so
easy to prove the righteousness of it that eXem-
plary damages are easily found, And this ex-
ceptloD proves the truth Of the rule that "A news
paper libels nobody. Its existence depends upon
it's fair treatment of all men. AS a news-gath-
erer az all points, and in the very nature of its
daily makeup, mistakes occur and sometimes
injustice is wrought, but 1t is an injustice that
inadvertently comes in the pursuit of "a legiti-
mate object, and that makes all the difference in
the world. Court proceedings, for instance, are
public i'll their nature. 1t is not only a news
papers privilege or right, but its duty to print
such proceedings. 1t is a protection to public
liberty. Clearly, then, a most malignant proceed
lie affair is distorted TO work private injury. We
think Judge Adams's charge can be a source OF
