Eminent People Who Have Passed to the Majority. A TWELTEM0NT1TS STRIKES. The Never En-liar Coatest Betweea Employers aad Employes. The World of Politics Briefly Mirrored. What EurefMM Natlnaw Mmw ssi Do ing The Cnnse of Irish liberty The Eastern Question Casualties of a Twelve Month Criminal Matters. Sport ins Personal Miscellaneous. The twelvemonth we all agree in number ing 1887 was in aomo respect a singular pe riod. But, upon the whole, it averages well with the yearn that went before It. In chronologically considering a given year one almost insensibly turns first to its necrology, for onomay measure the importance of a year very accurately by taking note of the important figures who have passed from the world's stage during its sway. And it was indeed a goodly company that passed from the visible to the invisible during the year 18b7. Poets and statesmen, and warriors and beanion, singers and actors, and financiers and eminent people of all de grees. But the world goes on very well with out them, as it will continue to go on long after thoso who come after them have been succeeded, in turn, by others. Humanity made a good bit of material progress during 1S87. To be sure, no won derful new invention came into general util ity, and no one of the few great scientific prises that mother nature sometimes gives to her persevering children was found between its ertremo days, but there was a steady improvement of such mechan ical contrivances as man had already made himself master of; many miles of new rail road were constructed, many new industries were established and many old ones were ex tended. And while not all who contribute to the nation's wealth by the labor of the hand and brain have profited by their work as they should, there was a steady im provement of the condition of the working classes during the year. The unemployed and the destitute are to be f ;und mostly in the great cities of the earth, and it is there that most of the riots of the year took place. Loudon suffered more than usual Among the most important strikes of the year was the 'long&horeme's strike, left over from 1SXS and concluded in February; ha printers' strike iu New York, St. Louis and Chicago; the cigarmokerV strike and the big coal strike ordered iu tho middle of December. Among the moit notable events of the year was the lutnging of the Chicago Anarchists. A complete list of the dork deeds com mitted in 1887 would include everything in the way of crime that the mind of debased man can conceive or carry into execution, but only such crimes as from their extraordi nary nature demand recognition in the record of a year's doings are here set down. The casualties of 18S7 include fire and storm and flood, and that most awful mani festation of nature's power, the earthquake, besides those casualties that are solely due to the carelessness of man himself. The most appalling disasters of the year were the earthquakes of tho Italian Riviera and the floods caused in China by the Yellow river bursting its bounds. Eighteen hundred and eighty-seven wit nessed no great wars, and the fact that the republic of France passed safel through a crisis that was feared would precipitate tur moil and bloodshed should be a matter for tho encouragement of the hopeful student of humanity. Two powerful monarchs cele brated important dates in their lives with great success Victoria, queen of England, completed tho fiftieth year of her reign and tho Emperor "William of Germany parsed hl 90th birthday. The year closed with the ever present eastern question menacing the peace of Europe with rather deeper mutterings than usual, and it is quite within the bounds of possibility that the first few months of 1888 may bring storms of shot nnd shell to busy towns and quiet valleys that have not seen worse storms than rain and wind and snow for years. In America the year's last days looked upon the busy preparations of politicians and voters for the coming presidential campaign, and 1888 will be a much livelier political twelvemonth than its predecessor. But the year's record win speak for itself. 60ME MISCELLANEOUS DATES. Feb. 7. Mechanic's Falls Paper company, Mechanic's Falls, failed; liabilities, $450,000. March 8.

From it are made tho terrible whips called "sjamboks," a stroke of which will cnt n groove in a deal board. A large sjumbok affords the otily argument to which a native draught ox will listen, and a smaller instrument, called familiarly a "cowhide," is used iu lieu of our riding whips. As the hippopotamus spends so much time in the water the skin is per forated with a number of pores, through which exudes a thick, dark, oily secre tion, which, like the fur of the seal, otter, beaver and other aquatic animals, keeps the creature dry, even when it is sub merged. When in July, 1849, Obaysh, the first hippopotamus ever brought to England, was taken in the Nile as a youngster, its slippery skin enabled it to wriggle out of the arm of its captors, and it was only secured by driving a boathook into its hide, the scar remaining through the rest of its long life. When in May of the fol lowing year it arrived in London I went to see it and inadvertently patted it, not knowing ot tho oily secretion. Conse qnently a pair of new kid gloves which I was wearing were utterly spoiled. A fe male was afterward obtained, and in 1871 was born the first hippopotamus ever pro duced in Europe. As its mother did not know how to manage it, the young calf was taken away and fed artificially. Tak ing it from its mother was a most perilous task, and, after a most exciting series of adventures, was achieved by Scott, the man who was afterward so well known as Jumbo's keeper. The little creature weighed about 100 pounds, but kicked and screamed like an adult, while its round, smooth body was m oily that Scott could scarcely hold it. Now we turn to the head. The eyes, ears and nostrils are set nearly on the same plane, so that the animal can f.ink itself entirely below the surface, and be able to perceive the approach of foes by hearing, sight and scent. When it lies motionless and dozing in the water, it Ls naturally a little lighter than a corres ponding bulk of water, and so floats with only a little of the back, and the ears, eyes and nostrils above the surface. Ilut it often has to sink to swim for sonic dist ance under water. This necessity involves several other peculiarities of Ktrncture. Good Words. Kotlilug but "Candied" Xloney.
