A YEAR OF DISASTER.

A few years ago one professor Grim
and weak minded by the prediction of dire
caamities from the portentous aspect of the
great planetary bodies. Had lie postponed
the disastrous epoch until the year 1888,
he could with confidence have claimed that
his prophecies of evil had been literally full
filled. The year has an appalling record Of
death from accidents aud elemental disturb
ances and it Will pass into history as the year
of disaster. The great agents of destruction
flood, fire, famine, volcano, earthquake,
tornado and epidemic-have each contributed
long list OF victims, which seemingly I'M
usually frequent minor accidents on land
and sea have helped 10 swell to frightful pro-
portions. A statisucian who kept an imper-
feet record of the first seven months of the
year estimated that the fatalities resulting
| from extraordinary causes had then already
reached the enormous aggregate of over 81,
900. To this must be added the awful des-
| truction of life by the overwhelming calam-
| ity in the Indian Archipelago and number
OF disasters, less terrible than that, but in.
volving large loss of life. Below we give in

T!ic NEW YEAR.

In most parts of the world the first day of
the year is observed as y festival festival
differing from is immediate predecessor,
Christmas, in that there i: NJ religious seuti-
mcnt connected with it and therefore its OBJ
servance is characlgrz3I by purely secular
ceremonies and pleasures. In England, cur
loaly enough, where Christmas is Il day of
such universal rejoicing New Years day Is
comparatively little noticed wilhelm France,
where Christmas day j0mr de Noel-has
been little thought Of until lately, New
Years dly--!e jour dc rda, or the day If the
year, as it is calledis the most popular of
all anniversaries. Here in America we have
amalgamatcd thu customs Of both those
counlries-by giving our hearty celebration
to both days, 1t has the phrase, Happy
New Year" us sacrodly devoted to its SER
vice for morning greeting, as is the time
honored merry Christmas" to the Christian
two festivals is flied with godness that
draws inspiration from both directions.
Tie distinguishing feature Of the ,day is
the making and receiving calls, Occasion
ally Dame Fashion tries to say that "visit-
ors' day" shall no longer be observed by her
dcvotecs; but she is not all powerful, and
the good old custom, in modified and less
promiscuous form, still maintaiHs its place
among Tie features Of thi opening year. De
privcd of the Objectionable features that
have grown around this custom such as
proniscuous visiting irrespective of acquaint
anccship between the visitors and the visit
ed, and the iudulgcace in stlmulants lit has
many good p ints to recommend it, and it
certainly promotes sociabilliy, good fellow
ship and hospitality.
| Another c1mmcndablc custom OF the day
is the forming of good resolutions for the
year to come. OF courc il is easy to laugh
at this, but it should be remembered that
without good res buttons, good deeds car
not be looked for, except by accidental anG
uatrustworthY influences, any more than {
large grain harvest can be expected by Tho
farmer who trusts his sowing to the birds
that drop an occasional kcrnal here and there
Aud, he who carries out only one of thou
sand good resolutions is better off than h
who makes none and therefore execute
none and it is undoubtedly Far preferable
to furnish ample paving materials for an oh
+ iectioulblc place Of residence than to be on
of the people who tread the streets therein
Therefore, 10 one need he afraid to max
. good resolutions. Make them, an
try to abide by them. And II so doing n
i nobler or more inspiring words have eve
. been writenhy mortal lcn than those of Long
4 fellow, which, familiar though they are, ca
). never become hackncycd: Look not mourn
= fully upon the past; il comes not back agair
e Wisely improve the present; it is thine, G
q forth to meet the shadowy future witLou
Y fear and with a mauly heart" This cover
y. the ground, past, present and future, and n
1. better motto can be imagined.

1898.
We have given list of the terrible casual
ties which cnttlc 1888 to the dreadful dis
tinction of the year of disaster. Aside from
these, it has been pretty good year, AS years
60. At home, at least, there is nothing to
give it special distinction over ITS predcces-
sors. Death has been busy, of course, aud
many a household sin mourning :, bu, there has
been no plague pestilcncc or famine of wide
extent and individual and family sorrows
are soon forgotten by the world at large.
Some notable political compaigns have been
fought, but none which will seem of any great
Importance hundred years hence. Onc of the
notable events of the year was the great strike
of Western Union telegraph operators all over
the United Statcs-the result being triumph
of the corporation over its employees. An
other was the adoption Of STANDARD time by
the railroad companies and its general ac-
ceptance throughout the country. The
opening of the great bridge connecting New
York and BlooHlyn was another notable in
cident of the year. The year also witnessed
he reduction of letter postage from three
cents to two.
Over the ocean, there have been some not.
able happenings. The Comte lie Chambord,
| ituar king of France, died. Prime. jerome
Napoleon (Plon Plon), having issued
proclamation directed against the Frencl
republic, was arrested but subsequent
| ly released. AS result of his arrest
stringent measures were taken against royal
and imperial iretenders, and the Or
leans princes were discharged iron
the army. France has been pushing
things in Tonquin and has several time
eemed on the verge of war with China lie
troops have captured Sontay, and the appar
cut determination of France is to keer wha
she has, aud get what she can. England ha
hanged five OF the Phoenix Park assassins, ant
otherwise punished sixteen more. Carey tn
informcr was killed by O'Donnell and the lat
ter has raid the penalty of his crime. Var
US dynamite plots have. been detected, and b
virtue of special statute enacted by Parll
ment, the perpetrators have been sentence
to penal servitude for life. The Gar of Russi
was crowned at Moscow despite the threa,
of the Nihllsts, and "stil lives" Hick
Pasha, who left Khartoum for the Soudar
Sept. 9th, was killed and his army well-nig
annihilated by the false prophet, Nov. Al
Oct. 20, treaty of peace was signed betwec
Chill and Peru, General Igleslas having su,
ceedcd to executive power in tie latter coui
try.

Hon. Abram $. Hewitt in Il published
letter advocates the admission of raw mater
ials into the country free of duty, and the
reduction oftaXes on manufactured articles
to the lowest point practicable, to prevent
our manufactures from being destroyed by
the Cutting of the home market by foreign
importations. lie says; 'The only living
issue between the two great political parties
which divide the country, as / understand
it, is this-whether the revenue system shall
be reformed, and upon what basis Of princi-
pie it shall be settled" As TO the depression
in the iron trade, Mr.. Hewitt thinks that the
depression is due to over-production, which
is result of the high tariff established dur.
ing the war, and that the duties on all kinds
of iron should never exceed the lowest posi-.
BILE point, which in time of depression, viii
protect the domestic market from the food OF
foreign iron which otherwise might be pour

A notable event in the Roman Catholic
church, will be the celebration, January 18th,
of the flftieth anniversary of Cardinal Nc
Closlley's ordination as priest. The exercises
will include the presentation of addresses
from the clergy and laity of the diocese, the
gift of ten-thousand- pulpit for the
new Cathedral, and grand banquet Cardi-
nal McCoskey is now sevcnty-threc years
of age, having been born in 1910, in Brook
Ign. He was ordained priest in 1884 and
was appointed coadjutor to Archbishop
Hughes in 1874, and bishop of Albany in
1S47. He became Archbishop OF New York
n 1864 and Cardinal in 1875. Among the
durable monuments OF his energy may be
mentioned an industrial school for destitute
children, an institution for deaf and dumb
girls, home for aged women, German
hospital and an institution for the aged an,
infirm. The last and greatest work under
the supervision of the cardinal was the com
pletion of the great cathedral which hi
eminent predecessor, Archbishop Hughes
began.

The independent remarks that it can not
refute the position taken by Miss Black
well but 1t strikes us that Mr. Ehmunds's
recommendations are quite consistent with
his purpose. That purpose is not the sup
preston of Mormonism, as religious belief
that MIR. Edmunds probably does not con-
slider within his pr )vince as q leglslator-but
to eradicate polygamy. He would secure
this end by arraying against the practice of
polygamy, the opposition of the considerable
portion of the Mormon population, who do
not practice or believe in "plural marriage
Under the Edmunds law, the polygamists
they still retain control Of the territory by
means of the votes of Mormons who have
but one wife apiece, and of the women
many Of whom are unnaturalizcd aliens, on
whom the right of suffrage is conferred by
the territorial law as soon as they become the
wives Of Mormons, and without the qualiti-
cation OF time required by the law of Con-
gross everywhere else. Mr.. Edmunds has
satisfied himself that one of the strongest
props of the plural marriage system is wo-
man suffrage as it exists there. To abolish
it for the time being, would simply be to pu,
the women of Utah on the same footing as
the women of almost every other territory
and State. When the anti-polygamists OF
Utah fairly get the upper hand aud polyg
amy has been abolished, he will probably
favor the removal Of any restriction Of tho
suffrage by National law.

How 10 Fall sleep.
From Chambers Journal

| had often noticed that when crgagcd in
deep thought, particularly at night, there
seemed to he something like a compression
of the cyelids, the upper ones esp, claly, ana
the eyes themselves were apparently turned
upward, as if 10 king in that direction. us
invariably occurred and the MON Mt that,
by an effort, | arrested the course of thought,
and freed the mind from the subject with
which it was engaged, the eyes resumed their
normal position, and the coupre' sion II the
lids ceased. Now it occurred to me one
night that would not allow the eyes to
turn upward, but keep them Geterminedly
in the opposite position, as II looking Gown
and having done 50 for short
time found that the mind did not revert to
the thoughts with Which it hal been occu-
pied and soon fell asleep. l tried the plan
again with the same result, and after an eN-
pericncc of wo years, | can truly say that
unless something specially auuoyinS or wor-
rying occurred, have always been able to
90 to sleep shortly after retiring to rest.
There may occasionally be some difficulty IN
keeping the eyes in the position l nave de-
scribed, but dc.crGintd cnoit 10 90 so Is
all that is required, ana am certain that II
kept in the dowu-lookipg position II VIII be
found that composure and sleep Will be the
result.
1t NAV be said that as the continued
effort TO keep the eyeballs in a certain posi-
ton so diverts the attention as to free the
mind from the dlsagrecable subject with
which it had been engaged sleep Will follow
as natural consequence. 1t is not improb-
able tina, this is to some extent correct and
if SO, it is well that by means SO simple and
so easily adopted, such desirable result can
be secured But think this is not the only
nor the principal reason; Tine position IN
which the eye should be kept is the natural
one; they are at case in it and when there
is no compression Of the lids or knitting OF
the brows, the muscles connected with and
surrounding in the eyes are relaxed. ms
condition is much more favorable Tor sleep
than for mental activity or for deep thought
