1879 ITS RECORD.
! The year just closed bag not been as event
j fa as some reoent years, bat in the record of
j any year ranch that is important is chronicled.
I Political affairs in Great Britain have at
tracted muoh attention. The disonssion of
the home and foreign policy of Lord Beacons
field's government has been very active and
searching. The Liberal party is far more en
thusiastic than it was a year ago, and its policy
is more oiearly defined. Mr. Gladstone's re
markable campaign in Midlothian is the most
important political event of the year in Great
Britain.
In France there was a change in the head
of the government during the first month of
the year. Marshal MacMahon retired, and
was succeeded by M. Grevy. ' TheDufaure
ministry resigned shortly afterwards, and was
succeeded by one consisting largely of the
same persons, led by M. Waddington, who
bas just retired in his turn, and given plaoe to
his colleague, M. de Freycinei. The Republic
continues popular. The death of the Prinoe
Imperial weakened the Bonapartists, and
though the Republican party may fairly be
said to bave been strengthened, the several
elements of the party are more hostile to each
other than they were.
In Germany Prince Bismarck has changed
his policy and associates. He has cut loose
from the national liberals and has formed an
alliance with the conservatives and center
party. The system of a protective tariff has
been re-established. Negotiations bave been
continued through the year with the govern
ment of the Pope, with the end in view ef re
storing a modut Vivendi between the German
Government and the Catholic hierarchy and
populations, but thus far without result. The
Prussian diet has been dissolved and a new
house elected whioh is favorable to Prince
Bismarck's present plans.
A most interesting and important contest
has been going on in Russia between the
Nihilists and despotism. Two attempts
have been made upon the life of the Czar and
assassination, incendiarism and the spreading
of seditions literature have been active. The
Government has taken energetio action.
There have been numerous executions, and
the roads to Siberia are thronged with exiles
on their way thither. The prisons are al
full, and martial law prevails in the large
towns. There has been talk of some amelior
ation of the present form of government, but
nothing in that direotion has yet been done.
In other European oountries there have
been ministerial crises. In Asia the difficul
ties between China and Japan concerning the
possession of the JLoochoo Islands have at
times threatened to become serious. In Bur
mah the accession of a new sovereign bas
been followed by the most revolting cruel
ties and British interest have not been treated
with respect. In Afghanistan there is revolt
against British authority. In Africa the Khe
dive of Egypt rebelled against European oon
trol and deposed the English and French
ministers. They have, however, been rein
stated. On this side of the Atlantio there have been
revolutions on the island of San Domingo, re
bellion in Cuba, a rebellion in Mexico, and a
revolution in Venezuela. In Canada the pro
tective tariff, that was rendered certain by the
conservative victory in the general elections,
has gone fully into force. The remarkable
series of events in whioh the government of
the province of Quebeo was at stake has ended
in favor of the Canadian government.
In our own country political affairs have
been unusually lively. Early in' the year the
contest over the political clauses of the ap
propriation bills in Congress was waged
fiercely between the senate and the house.
The failure of the two houses to agree ren
dered necessary an extra session, and, the
control of the senate having1 meantime passed
into the hands of , the Democrats, the former
contest was renewed, but this time between
the President and an agreeing Congress. The
issue was carried before tbe people at the au
tumnal elections, and an emphatio support
was given by the voters to the resistance the
Republicans had made to the repeal of the
election laws. Other political events are the
Yazoo City assassination, the Butler defeat in
Massachusetts, the Kelley-Tilden schism in
New York, the election of the Rev. Mr. Eal
looh as mayor of San Francisco, the southern
negro exodus, the Grant boom and the Maine
fraud.
No very important wars have been carried
on in 1879. The British have had trouble in
Afghanistan and Zululand. Sinoe April 2d
Peru and Bolivia have been fighting Chili,
and some fierce naval combats have taken
plaoe.
In the condition of trade and .industry this
country has seen a great change for the better
sinoe the beginning of the year. The resump
tion of specie payments did much to bring
back confidence, and our immense crops and
the needs of other nations helped to make us
prosperous. Perhaps there was never a time
when there was more real prosperity in the
country than to-day. In Europe and in other
parts of the world the case is very different.
There have been at least the usual number
of "misfortunes, disasters and accidents."
The cholera has raged in Japan. The plague
and diphtheria have caused many deaths in
Russia. The yellow feyer visited Memphis
and stayed all summer. It has done also its
usual work in Cuba. There has been famine
in the valley of the Nile and in Morocco. . An
earthquake in Persia in March killed fjoOO
people, and In Sicily in June killed 10. An
avalanche in the Austrian Tyrol in March
killed 40 people. There was the awful flood
of the Theiss at Szegedin in Hungary in April,
by whioh 4,000 lives were lost and many more
thousands of people left homeless. In May
again :the Theiss rose as before. In June
the Danube was terribly flooded. Seven iron
bridges were swept away at onoe. In October
the terrible Muroia floods in Spain occurred.
when 3,000 people were drowned by the rising
of the river. And again in December 12,000
people were made homeless on the Danube.
Muoh damage was done by storms in this
oountry. ; Among steamship disasters, the
Haytien steamer Michel in March sank in a
collision, with 78 lives lost, the Ava in Indian
waters in May with 70 lives, the State of Vir
ginia in July with 8 lives, the Congora by col.
lision off Finiaterre in August with 14 lives.
the Pajaro, near Havana, in August with 46
jives, the French floating battery Arrogante
off Hyeres with 47 lives, the Champion off our
coast with 80 lives, the Borussia with 200
lives. Gloucester has lost 240 fishermen. The
dreadful railroad accident in Scotland is still
fresh In the minds of onr readers. -"
- Among other events of the year thamay be
mentioned are the great boom hi stocks in
this oountry, and the general rise in prioes,
the refunding of onr national debt, the at
tack upon slavery in Cuba, the Fall River de
falcations, Archbishop PuroeU's failure to re
pay those who had deposited money with
him, tho massacres' by the TJtes, Talmage's
troubles, the marriage of King Alphonao of
Spain, the killing of his five-year-old child as
a sacrifice by Freeman the Cape Cod Second
Adventist, the landing of a new oable at North
Eastham, Mass., the walking mania, tbe de
velopment of the telephone and its general
use, the introduction of the audiphone and
the advance toward a good electric light.
The list of the dead of 1879 does not oon
tain aa many great names as do the lists of
some other recent years. The only reigning
sovereign who has died during the year was
the Ameer of Afghanistan. The Prince Im
perial was shot in South Africa. Of the poli
ticians and ' statesmen who have died
we mention Senor Espartero of Spain,
Sir Rowland Hill, the father of cheap
postage, Von Bulow, Prince Bismarck's lieu
tenant at the foreign office of Germany, Dr.
Isaac Butt, the English home rule leader,
John Arthur Roebuck, William Lloyd Garri
son, Caleb Gushing, John A. Dix, William
Allen and Senator Zach Chandler. Among
those eminent in our civil war who have died
are General Hooker, General Shields, Genera
Jefferson C. Davis, General Hood and General
"Diok" Taylor. From literature, art and
science the following named have been taken :
Professor Clifford, one of the most promising
of the younger English thinkers, Professor
Clerk-Maxwell, R. H. Dana, the American
poet, -jElihu Burritt, "the learned black
smith," Mr. Delane, for thirty-six years edi
tor of the London Times, Henry C. Carey,
Miobel Chevalier, the French economist, M.
de Villemessant, oonduotor of the Paris Fig
aro, William Morris Hunt, the Boston artist,
Charles Fechter, the aotor, Buokstone, the
famous English comedian, and William Hep
worth Dixon. Two Roman cardinals, An
tonucci and Guidi, Bishops Odenheimer and
Whittingham of the American Protestant
Episoopal chnroh, Bishop Ames of the Meth
odist church and the Rev. Dr. Budington of
Brooklyn are among tbe losses theology has
sustained. Famous for their wealth were
Baron Lionel de Rothschild, Hon. Asa Packer
of Pennsylvania, the two brothers Goclet,
who died in New York, and Richard Schell ot
the same city. Daniel Drew, who had beer
very wealthy, died comparatively poor. Of
famous women should be mentioned Betxy
Patterson Bonaparte; Frances, countess of
Waldegrave ; the Countess de Montijo, moth
er of the Empress Eugenie, and Mrs. Charles
Dickens. Something about the dead of New
Haven in 1879 may be found on the second
page.
And now for 1880.

The condition of Italy just now is sad
The harvest was altogether deficient ; the In
dian corn, on which a large part of the popu
lation mainly depends for food, was almost a
total failure ; the potatoes are diseased and
very bad and dear ; the chestnuts, which are
the ohief staple of food in the hilly districts,
were a poor orop ; and now comes winter, un
usually early and unusually severe, preventing
all outdoor work. At Faenza there have been
bread riots and the military had to be called
out. At Ravenna the bakers' shops have been
sacked by bands of hungry peasants ; at Ser
mide like scenes have occurred, and In tbe
provinces the people are clamoring for bread
and employment. In Rome the number of
beggars is very much on the inorease.
For some months past the case of Ell Ice,
in the penitentiary of West Virginia for mur
dering Uriah Wade in 1862, has excited great
attention and sympathy in the Grand Army of
the Republic, and at all gatherings of Union
soldiers. The story was that Ioe was a Union
soldier of good habits, who was being persecu
ted for slaying a rebel during the war. At
several meetings in Ohio the utmost indigna
tion was expressed, and a movement for f oroi
bly rescuing him was put on foot. The Cleve
land Herald has made an exhaustive examina
tion of the matter, and finds that Ice is a man
of terribly violent and vindictive passions;
that he deliberately murdered Wade when
neither was in the service, to gratify an old
grudge, and without the smallest provocation ;
and that the jury that convicted him was a fair
one, and eleven out of the twelve were ex Un
ion soldiers and Republicans. Ex-Governor
Pierpont declares that Ice suffers justly ; that
the murder of Wade was oold-bloodod ; and
that the murderer is believed to have killed
one of his own ohildren, and is known to have
chopped the fingers off from others.
j About two years ago Miss Mollis Fancher,
of Brooklyn, attraoted public attention by
claiming to live without eating and to possess
the faculty of "second sight." Dr. William
A. Hammond, of New York oity, had no faith
in the claims of Miss Fanoher and her friends,
and offered her a reward of $1,000 if she
would make a successful attempt, under his
supervision, to substantiate them. This offer
was not accepted, and Miss Fancher has since
dropped out of the publioeye. But a Dr. H
S. Tanner, of Minneapolis, now comes for
ward and claims to be able to live in comfort
without food far at least thirty day, and that
he has twioe publicly submitted to a test,,
eaoh time maintaining life, consciousness,
health, and the ability to take physical exor
cise, although abstaining from food for the
extraordinary period of forty-two days. Dr.
Tanner says he does not want to make any
money out of the affair, but that he will ooms
to New York and live without food for thirty
days, will plaoe himself nnder the supervis
ion of any man or number of men that may
be selected, and will allow the experiment to
be conducted publicly or privately. Dr. Ham
mond says he will aooept Dr. Tannor. prop
osition, and if the latter means what he says
we shall probably soon be treated to an inter
esting test of the enduranoe of a human
being. It will be quite as sensible, if not as
exciting, as a walking matoh.

Tne Old Womau and Her Three Cats
One New Year's morning, many years ago,
a poor, friendless old woman who dwelt all
alone in a miserable hovel on the outskirts of
a broken down, dilapidated village, found
under her door step three little kittens, so -yonng
that they had only just began to peep
out of their eyes. Their mother had been
killed a few hours before by a fierce bull mas
tiff that belonged to a butcher hard by. Hi.
name we have quite forgotten, indeed, if we
over did know it. We don't think it was
Smith. Their piteous cries touched the
heart of the old woman, who, having outlived
all her early friends and relatives, ached to
find something to love. When she f iuui
them they were trying to draw nourisbme ,t
from the dead body of their mother. IL w.,
all useless ; for she was cold in death, her lag i
and tail sticking out stiff and straight as ram
rods. The old Tsaman felt keenly their misery, for
she well knew the pangs of hunger. The poor,
too, well know the sufferings from poverty.
This is an experienoe the rich can never have.
So the poor from their sympathy often divide
almost their last crust with those more miser
able than themselves. But more often they
don't divide. Long suffering from poverty,
with the kicks and ouffs that the low down
sometimes get from those only an inch or two
above them, is apt to harden the heart. Thus
it is that many of the poor grow wioked and
desperate and try to drown their troubles in
strong drinks, who, if they had but moderate '
prosperity, would remain decent sort of folk
and never, unless indeed it was prescribed by
a doctor, drink anything stronger than good
wholesome tea and coffee, such as Young Hy
son and old Government Java. Anybody would
be worse than a fool that did not remain good,
who had a comfortable home.nioe warm oioth
ing, pretty things and bright cheerful faoes
and loving hearts around them. Tbe old
woman, as we said, took pity on the wee little
suffering things and carried them into her
hovel. She provided milk for them and ten
derly nursed and brought them up by hand.
While small their playfulness and droll antics
amused her solitude. Such smart, ounniog
little creatutes, she thought had never been
seen before. All this soon passed away and
they grew up into three great bounoing cats,
with the stolid dignity and sage gravity of
deportment that belongs to eats when their
days of youthf nl innocenoe have fled forever.
Now it was that the poor old woman began
to suffer for her humanity. What suffloed to
support them as little kittens was not sufficient
for their sustenanoe as full grown oats. Their
appetites became so enormous that it seemed
as if they would fairly eat her out of house
and home. Her own slender means nearly
vanished. Somehow she could have managed
to have sustained herself if alone ; but tho ad .
ditional mouths to feed was too much.
As it was, she divided what she had with
them, still giving the larger part to the cats.
Yet, all four, the old woman and the three
cats, grew lean and weak from being half
starved. As for the old woman, the skin on
her face became more and more wrinkled, the
crows feet under her eyes deepened into gul
lies, while the solitary front tooth left on her
upper jaw stuck out from her shriveled mouth
and lapped over and rested on her lower lip
like a tusk. When she did laugh, for none are
so poor and miserable but what they dosome
times laugh, her mouth did look queer with its
circular ridge of bare gum. and that single
tooth standing there alone and no longer of
any use exoept as a sort of ornament. .
Her most sorrowful days now came. For
the cats now began to reproach her, saying :
"You ought to bave left us to die when we
were kittens and knew nothing, and so saved
ns from our misery ; or else long ere this have
turned ns out of doors to learn bow to pick up
our own living as cats generally are uoens
tomed to do. Instead of that you took us
when we were young and innocent, simply to
minister to your silly love for amust-meiit
Then you pampered us so we never learned
to take care of ourselves. Everybody," oou
(inued the cats, " everybody says ' Lif. is a
fight.' But we are as inoapable of fighting as
so many Quakers. Beside the rats in this
neighborhood are unusually large and fero
cious and as for getting our living by niakiug
war upon such horrid, ugly customers, it can
not for a moment be thought of, they .;ro mo
strong and full of fight. Again, whuffv-r
meat we bave had, although cold, has a! way.
been cooked. We are certain that a diet of
rats eaten raw would not agree with onr Rtotu
aohs. We think it your duty to oatch th
rats yourself in a trap, kill, oleau, split sham
open and 'broil them for us, as people do
spring chickens. It Is what you owe tons
for having given you so long the ber. .dt of
our oompany."
This cruel and inconsiderate speech hurt
the old woman sorely, for it was largely un
true ; and just here we can but express oi r '
W19U IU., HltS lOUtUg Ul " "
confined to cats.
Nothing" stings like ingratitude. The old
woman was so badly hurt that she picked up
a milk stool she had used in the more pros
perous days when she owned a cow, slunk
Hway into tbe oorner ot her hoveLand, sitting
down there, burst Into a flood of tears, orfing
like a child. Indeed, she was in her ssennd
childhood, weak and demented, and so fr
from being able to provide for hs oats, they
should have provided ' for - her, that is, if
they had the ability to do so, which was ques
tionable. " t - - '
We said nothing stings like ingratitude.
This is because when any one volunteers to
do good and does good to another they feel so
haDpy over it that they begin to love that
other. It is thus more blessed to give than to
receive. That is one great reason parents so
love their ohildren, beoause they are working
and doing for them all the time. To have one
turn upon you that you love hurts ten times
as much as a blow from an enemy. .
It was a hard lesson to the old woman, .that ,
ungrateful speech. Alas I it came too late to
be of benefit to her, for she was verging on
eighty years, a period of life at whioh the ,
time left to derive much good from a lesson is '
not surprising.
Still, our telling it may benefit somebody, as
a caution to be careful, what sort of blooded
oreatures they take to their hearts and homes,
lest finally, like the eats to the old woman,
thfiv mnv turn unon them and stine them bv
their ingratitude. Meow H. H.
Tne Snow Blockade in Paris.
Paris Dispatch to the London Telegraph !
In the streets and on the Boulevards the
circulation continues to be very difficult ' in- -deed,
and stoppages are of frequent occur
renoe, particularly in the more' crowded
thoroughfares. The municipal authorities aie
adopting efficient means to remove the snow,
but the work progresses slowly, and if a thaw
were suddenly to set in, the oonsequanoes .
would be deplorable. Sledges are being grad
ually extemporized, but the general traffic Is
still conducted on wheels, and the unluoky
cab-hacks are having anything but A , pleasant
time of it. The omnibuses are ' better . off,
those with three horses being supplemented
with two more, while those usually drawn by
two are provided with an - extra steed. ' The
tramway services between the Louvre and -Passy,
and between the Rue Tronohet and La
Muette, have reoommenoed, but the - others
are still interrupted. The Seine, presents a
vary curious appearance. It is frozen over
very thickly indeed in some parts, but the
surface is irregular and insecure ; and almost
entirely oovered with snow. Perhaps the
most picturesque sight of all is that present
ed by the Tuileries Garrule, the general effect
is gloomy in the extreme thiok, sombre fog,
without one gloom of light or sunshine to re
deem the melancholy picture. Of course, ac
cidents are to be expected at this season,, and
a few are reoordbd every day. Tha sk'tte r
are enjoying themselves to their hearts' ctu
tent at the Bois da Boulogne, the well-luio-xit
lakes of whioh are well adapted to this healthy
sport, while a troop of sledges make a daily
pilgrimage to the drive around their margin.
