A YEARS HISTORY.
A Chronology Of the Important Events,
Political and Otherwise, of
1885.
The Calendar Year One OF Cempara-
tive Peace Throughout the Cir
Gait or the Globe.

The year 1885 has added few political
events of a startling nature to the annals OF the
worlds history. 1t has been year OF peace,
though there have been constant ruinors Of wars
in Europe--wars which, had they broken out,
would evidently have assumed gigantic proper
tons and resulted in vast destruction Of life and
property. This very fact has no doubt caused
the crowned heads Of the old world to pursue a
cautious policy and hesitate long before letting
slip the dogs OF war; The only serious disturb
ance of tho peace OF tho world is Ola
the extreme eastern confines OF Europe,
inivoIving any of the great powers IA conflict os
arms. France and China have been fighting
each other at long range, infiicting very slight
damage, England had brush with Burmah,
which was "short, sharp, and decisive" the
Burmese King throwing up the sponge and in
gloriously surrendering to the red coats without
firing a gun. Canada's wof with tho half
breeds and Indians in the Northwest and the
change of administration at Washington by the
retiring of Republican and the inauguration OF
Democratic President, constitute the chief
events near home. Below will be found the
record

Bismarck in England.

It Is very seldom that the chancellor
has good word to say about the Eng
lish. When he has, it is to point out
some Teutonic virtue which they pos
sess to a less degree than the Ger
mans. In drawing the hackneyed con-
trast-containing less than half the
truth between the superficial polite
ness Of the French and the genuine po-
likeness of heart which he claims for
his own people, he finds occasion to
throw in little diluted commentator
of the English character. Perhaps his
experience on landing one Sunday at
Hull gave him twist the wrong wav.

EARTH-MEN FROM AFRICA.
A Strange People Who Have Recently
Landed at New York.

Sitting in waiting-room of the Cen
trail railroad ferry-house a few days
ago was as uncouth a collection of hui
man beings as falls to the lot of New
Workers to witness. Wrapped in coarse
striped blankets, their heads covered
with cloth caps two sizes too large for
them, the small, peaked faces peered
out of their coverings with monkey
like gaze at the crowd of inquisitive
Americans who gathered around.
They were African earth-men or pyg-
mics, recently brought here from the
region of the Congo. Until lately the
existence of these people has been
questioned by scientific writer's, but
recent discoveries have proved the
truth of the well-known assertion of
Herodotus regarding the mysterious
tribe of dwarfs who burrowed in the
earth far back toward the center of the
dark continent. Du Chaillu was the
first modern traveller who Investigated
the matter and saw them in their own
land, and described them as being
small in stature, but larger than one is
led to expect from the description Of
Herodotus, being something over three
and half feet tall, but still they are
diminutive specimens of humanity.
Their figures are slim and delicate, but
very well formed.

Precautions in Taking Stimulants

l. Never take stimulants in moments
OF extreme exhaustion. That is pre-
cisely the time and state when there is
especial peril of discharging the last re-
mains OF energy and leaving the nerv-
GUS centres too exhausted and power
less to recupcrate. There is in nervous
action, as in mechanical motion, a dead
point at which inertia beromes immi-
nent. 2. Never take more of stimu-
liant than will suffice to stir the ener-
gies gently. If you want to incite a
horse to action you must not whip him
more than will suffice to rouse him. If
more than this be done strength will
be exhausted by irritation. 8. Never
forget that stimulants are excitants.
and only when they excite to recupera-
ton. e., to the formation of new re-
serves of strengthens we'll as to the
consumption Of the strength in hand,
can they be useful or even safe. 4.
never persist in the use of stimulants
for the alienation of feelings of mental
or muscular weakness or WEAKNESS, if
the relief obtained is followed by de
preston of spirits,' Goodness of the
feet or ''prostration," either of mind
or body; because when these conse-
quences ensue after temporary revival
of tone and power it is manifest that
the recuperative faculty is either not
properly stimulated or is itself exhaust
ed, and harm instead of good is being
done by the stimulation.-Good Words.

cHAlIeu uTy, dcklnS cough luht
showed the effect which our climate
and that of England, whence they
came last, is having upon them. Their
faces denote but little intellect, yet
they are possessed of much intelligence,
and the children are surprisingly
bright. The baby, sitting under can
opy of cap, was study in himself.
His big, black eyes twinkled and
snapped as he peered this way and that
at the crowd, and he looked the bright
est and best of the lot. His father, the
king-they are all kings that come
here-sat enwrapped in his royal
blanket, with long bow in his hand,
and he appeared to notice nothing that
went on around him. He wore attach
ed to his hair in front, three small
shells filled with some kind of cement
or dirt to hold them on. These are
royal trademarks, none but he being
allowed to decorate bangs in that man
ner, and he looked every inch king
of that sort. On their cheeks they all
had a ragged scar-this is also royal
mark. and is made by scratching with
an arrow and rubbing in coloring mat
ter-a rude sort of tattooing. In ad.
dition to these marks each one had the
joint of his right hand little finger tax
en- off. This is general tribal mark.
They all showed their fingers and all
were alike in this Disagreement. Their
skin is not black, but sort of coppery
brown, something like our Indians, but
shade or two darker and richer in
tone. They have but little hair and
that is curled like pigtails.
The most curious thing about them
is their language. 1t is series of in
describable clucks, made by turning
the tongue backward against the roof
of the mouth and swapping it forward
not the sound one makes when start
ing horse, but just as inarticulate
and seemingly unintelligiblc to hu-
man being. They clicked and clucked
among themselves, and the gentleman
in charge clipped in and fired his
tongue at them, and then the reporter
tried it, and CLICKED them, Here's my
regards.
1t seemed incredible that men could
converse among themselves with such
an elementary form of speech, it not
being elevated above the twittering of q
sparrow. One certainly could easier
translate the banks and whines of his
dog into English They seem to be
satisfied with it, and that is certainly
enough.
They have quite a collection of A.
rican arms and curiosities in their pos
session-short and long bows, with
s;new or hide strings; spears and ar.
rows of reid, poisoned with the jcice.
of plants, and capable of making havAs
in the ranks of an enemy. 1t is, in
fact. in this manner only. that they
can be formidable, as an ordinary white
man could easily manage three of
them. They decorate themselves in
the manner usual among savages, with
shells, beads, and feathers, the latter
being quite ornamental and artistic.
They have collection of ostrich feath-
ers, heads and horns of gazelles, gems
boks and Glands, tiger and leopard
skins, and lions claws-all trophies
of their skill in the chase and showing
what a superiority even pygmies have
over the brute creation.-Nev York

The HI Malady.

Although a very large majority of
the subjects of her most gracious ma
jesty do say 'otel, and most of them,
yet q much smaller number, do say
hoyster, to assume that all of them do
so would be unwarranted and injurious.
Those who say hotel are, it is true,
not many. nor easily found but those
who say hoyster, although very numer-
Gus, a vast multitude, forming, indeed,
the bulk of the people OF England, are
much fever than those who, on the
point in question, violate, in degrees
various but less atrocious, the now
accepted standard of speech in that
country. These two words, thus pro-
nounced, represent the two extremes of
the II Malady. An Elton and Oxford
bred peer may q do not say always
does; far from it) say 'otcl; but hoyster
aud the like are heard only from those
whose associations in their early years
were with people in the lowest condi-
ton of life.
For it is always to be borne in mind
that II in England is shibboleth dis
tinctive of birth and breeding. Not
only men of wealth, but highly educated
men, scholars and men of scientific ac-
quirements, who write capital letters
after their names, ''drop their h's' in
England; just as in America men of
like position have nasal twang, and
say ''Mu'ica' for America and the like.
Not long ago l heard the president of
one of our colleges say ''fambly" for
family and .'chimbly'' for chimney, half
dozen times in half an hour. Habits
Of speech acquired in youth are almost,
If not quite, ineradicable. They are
surely so after twenty years of age.
The British H malady seems, however,
to be tho most irremediable of all the
ills OF speech. l have had opportunities
