American Recognition.

DISPATCHES, alleged to be Of semi
official character, have been received
here declaring that the recognition
by the United States government OF
General Estrada as president of Mica
ragua is mater of days. This re-
port has created enthusiasm. which,
however. Is tempered by the desire
for confirmation.
1t is stated that such recognition
would probably not affect the forward
movement of General Chamorro, al
though 1t might result in the disor-
ganization of the forces of President
Madriz. leaving Chamorro little to
fight against.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Closing Year-December 81.

The close Of the year brings with it a
mingled feeling of gladness and melan-
choly-of gladness in the anticipation of
brighter days TO come with the advent
Of the New Year, and Of melancholy in
reflections on the fleeing nature Of time
and the gradual approach to the inevita-
bic goal in the race of life.
Ring out the old. ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells. across the snow;
The year is going. let him go:
Ring out the false, ring in the true"
That so interesting an occasion as the
departing Of the old and the ushering in
Of a new year should be distinguished by
some Observance or ceremony appears
but natural, and we accordingly find va
rious customs prevail in different parts
OF the country and in different parts of
the world. Son,e are of a spOrtive char
acter. others serious. and others in which
both the mirthful and pensiTe moods are
intermingled.
One of the best known and most gen
eraI of these customs is that of remain
ing up till 70 o'clock on the night OF De
cember 81, either in the home, where a
little family party may be gathered; in
the church. where religious watch
night service is held, or on the street,
where promenaders make merry.
In no place in the world is the celebra-
ton Of New Years Eve made so much
account of as in Philadelphia. In a great
measure this is due TO the fact that it is
the ''Cradle of Liberty Of the country.
