EVENTS OF THE YEAR.
From tLo Youths Companion.

From the 1outh's Companion.
The year which is just closing has not been
memorable for any great event which changes the
current Of the worlds history. Neither has it been
devoid Of interesting and even important occur
rcnces.
Looking abroad and taking first the country
with which the United States has the closest rela-
tons, we recall as the two great features Of the
year in Great Britain, the jubilee Of the queen and
the application Of coercion, in u peculiarly severe
form, to Ireland The completion Of the reign OF
fifty years by Queen Vicorin made the Rraudcst
occasion Of one Of the grandest state paReants Of
modern times, and the people gave themselves up
for II time to national merry making
On the other hand the political agitation over
the state Of Ireland the laws that passed to put
stop BY force 10 the disordersn that island, and
the uareleHtng severity with which the law has
been enforced, have made it year Of bitterness
and sorrow
France, too, has had year Of political turmoil
and the cause, direct or Indirect Of il all was Genera

ming Of 1887 IT was in reality the opposition to hs
general, who ma te himself somewhat 10 prominent
asan apostle Of revenge against Germany which led
to tie downfall ofM. Goblets cabinet.
Then there is little doubt that II was largely with

two other general officers was undertaken. The ef.

Tho Dog On Ton in tie rinbt


We know that the world-the great, big world,
From The peasant to the king,
have the very same tale-the tale we tell
The very same song to sing.
Hurrah for the dog the great, big dog!
BE the big dog wrong or right;
The world will shout for the dog that wins
The dog on top in the fight.
And as for men, they care not q fig
Whether it be wrong or right;
They always 60 for the stronger dog
the dog on top in the fight.
No one ever stops to ask, you know,
Whether 1t be wrong or right;
Their hearts all beat, if they beat at all,
For the dog on top in the fight
Ihe poor little dog that bears the hate
That comes from the big dogs might,
Can nothing do but yield to his fate
The dog on top in the fight.
Ferhaps what we've said were better not said;
But then, we are surely right;
Let the big dog kill the little dog dead,
He's the dog on top in the fight.

AUSTRIA.

PEsTH, January 1.-Premier Tisza replying
to the New Years congratulations from the
liberals today said that he didnot believe that
war was imminent. He was convinced that
Hungary would not provoke war, but that she
would be ready if way was forced upon her.
More than that he was unable to say. al
though the pessimistic view may not be justi-
table he said, IAN optimistic view has also
its advantages, because it often paralyzes re-
SlstiLg forces which we may possibly still
need" Herr Falk, in expressing similar senti-
ments said he thought present gloomy uncer-

MEXICO.

CITY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, December
N.-The policy of allowing Americans to col
onize Lower California continues to be agi-
tated the opposition taking the ground that
the administration OF President Diaz, in cor
diality toward the Americans, forgets the re-
suit of permitting American colonization in
Texas. General Pacheco, minister of public
works, replies in pamphlet showing that no
danger of American colonization exists, and.
in fact, that Americans are in a minority in
the territory Of Lower California. 1t is proved
that the separation Of Texas from Mexico was
brought about, not by Americans who had
gone there to settle, but by adventures who
had flOcked into the state from the United
States. He takes liberal view OF American
colonization, and iutmates that it
Is too late in the century to begin to show
dread of friendly and neighboring nation.
The clerical press is especially savage in its
attack on the Americans and the Diaz admin
istration. and the liberals say that it was a
clerical who sold half of Mexico to the United
States and that it was the same party that
brought foreign prince here to rule over the
people WHO did not want him; that the clcri-
Gals are the last persons who should talk
against an extension of the privileges OF in
dustriOus and honorable Americans seeking
new homes on Mexican soil. General Pacheco
maintains in his pamphlet that no self gov
erning state, although coloniZed by foreigners,
will prove disloyal 10 the Mexican union. The
controversy occupies the public mind TO the
exclusion OF other topics

A Few Predictions.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A recent writer has collected number OF mod
ern predictions, some OF which have been fulfilled,
and the result Is a startling array OF facts and
gueSses. In the last century British officer of
high rank predicted that this country would one
day be divided, with the Mississippi River for a
boundary line. II remains to be seen whether he
Was night or wrong. Early In the present century
William C00OeIL forelold The secession OF the
southern StaleS Heine was also remarkably gifted
prophet lie predicted the Franco Prussian
war, the siege Oh Paris, the uprising or the CON-
munisL and the destruction OF the Vendome
Coiumh. DE TonQueville IOresaw the fall OF Louis
Napoieon's empire eighteen years In advance. He
said that II would wreck itself in some foreign
enterprise.
But The latest prophet is Canadian named But
ler THIS new foreteller or events Informs US that
during the coming year there Will be war between
England and America, and that the United states
VIII come out VICTORIOUS and acquire all the British
possessions on THIS continent. There Is something
satisfactory about sUcn prediction. IL Is big
thlng, and then IL Is der1niIe, and we stand u
chance OF living To see how IL will pan Cut. John
stuart Mill believed that tue day would come when
men VINO understood the philosophy OF history
would be able 10 predict political events with I'M
erring certainty. II may be that We have already
reached that point, and thai Mr.. Butler or Canada
Will rank with CoDOett, Heine, De TOnQueville,
and other successful prophets.
