a few okthk notam.k events op
The year 1873.
Like Ct.cry one of its predecessors
sinre# the down of modern civilizntion.
1873 hue been n year of stirring events,
and yet it is marked hy no great nation
ul change or scientific discovery which
will make it distinguished in the
annals of time, as the beginning of an
epoch. Mankind has made steady pro
grefs in iutclbgencc, uinterinl wealth j
has been largely increased, and the
seeds have been sown, perhaps, for some
of the most important political, scionti
fic and religious movements of the Fu
ture.
Probably the most noteworthy events
of 1873 huvo beeu the Industrial Expo
sition in Vienna, the meeting of the
Evangelical Alliance in Now York, the
visit of thcjJPersian Shah to Europe, the
political changes in France and Spain,
the American financial panic, and the
Virgiuius affair with Spain. These
occurrences have had more than a local
hearing, and may seriously effect in
their results the interests of generations
yet unborn. The Vienna Exposition
means the greater development and
extension of the peaceful arts; tho
Evangelical Alliance, larger religious
liberty ; the lisit of the Shah, the down
fall ?*f the barriers of Oriental exclu
siveness; tho events in Franco, and
Spain, the stienghthening of the repub
lican soutimetit ; and our panic, the
coming of a sounder financial system lii
the United States.
We can-kit ?? a sanguinary war dur
iug the car-iynionth.s of the yenr again <f.
the Mo?oc Indians. Captain Jack
troadherously assassinated General Can

Tewn., weie nearly depopulated "by the
latter. Tme financial p-wiic. which was
precipitutrd by the failure of Jay Cooke
it Co., Sept. 18, swept into the vortex ?
the houses ?dfl'is'k, Hutch & Co , Henry
Clews A C?., Pcuke, Opdyke & Co., ami
? thcra and finally the great umuufa-rtus
ing' house of A. & W. Sprague. The
end 'of t'he year witnesses a steady re
turn of confidence, but the effects of the
crisis of 1873 will nut-soon'be effaced
The last event of considerable signifi
cance occurring on this .side of the
Atlantic tbjs jcar was Che -seizure o;
the stesrmer V irgiuius on the high seas
by a ."Spanish gunboat, full?iw<.d by*the
butchery of a part of its jiussengers und
crew, the breu'king out of* the war excite
incut in the United States, und re par
ation by Spain. It is wot certain that
we havo -seen the end of this imbrogilo
yet.
Duriug fhc past year "we have bad the
inauguration of President Grant. The
famous Pacific Railrou? or Credit
Mobilicr frauds muke a notable event.
The jolitical events in Great Britain
have been the Mi isterial crisis on ne
count of the rejection of the Irish Uui
versity bill by the House of Commons,
the resignation ami subset}uont return
to power of Mr. vladstutie, the betroth
al of the Duko of Edinburgh to the
Grand Duchess Murin of Russia, and
the war carried on in a distant African
colony a gainst Hie Ashuntees. The
Utter still drags its weary length along,
tho deadliciess ol the climate being the
principal obstacle in the way ol the
immediate success of the British troops.
France bus bceu agitated by a nun
bcr of striking incidunts. Tho emperor
Napoleon diod in exile in January, and
left the fortunes of his house to the
maintenance of his young son. in May,
M. Thiers fell from power and Marshal
MucMuhou succeeded to the Presidency.
The Monarchists, knowing tho warm
ayuipathies of the latter with tho cause,'
begun ut once to intrigue for the restora
tiou of tho House ol Bouibon, A fusion
betwec'u the Legitimists aud Orleun.bis
was effected by the Co in to de Chain
bord, iu Vienna, in August, and it waa
arrange 1 that the latter should asoeud
tho throne ns Henry tho Fifth. Jtiat
as the t-ehcine nan ripe, and the Nat ion
ul Anscinbly Was ready to proclaim the
king, his would be majesty overturned
everything and drove his partisans
nearly to suicide by writing a let'or. Its
publication was, followed by the auan
don meat of the uiouorchial movement
und tho prolongation of President
Thier'? term of seven years. Tho re
ligious pilgrimages to the shrine at
Paray le Moniftl were extensive In the
summer and attracted a groat deal of
notice. On the 13th of Scptombor, a
happy event in the year's history of
France tunk place ; the complete evacun
tioh o! her soil by the victorious Gor
mann The trial of Marshal Rnzainc
fur treason occupied two or three months,
and resulted in his conviction ntid
sentence to twenty years' "seclusion."
Wc must not omit to notice the ovidenco
of permanence in tho republican Bonti
uient afforded by tho As emhly elections
during the year. In ninety per cent,
of these elections the republicans wore
triumphant by large majorities.
An important. change in the govern
incut of Spain took place February 11.
King Amadeus abdicated an 1 returned
to Italy, and a provisional Republic,
with Figucrns and Cosielar at its head
wis established. These statesmen have,
been occupied during tho year trying to
make tho Rep1 blic "stick," and in
fighting the Curlist bands in the North
and the Ridculs on the Southern sea
hoard. ?
Germany has been principally en
gnged in consolidating its power gained
by the lute war, nnd fighting the Roman
Catholic hierarchy It, claims rights
over tho latter which the Papacy-denies.
To further discourage orthodox Catholic
ism, the Government has encouraged
the "Old Cath ilic" movement, nnd re
cognized the legitimacy of the newly
consecrated IsUiho'p of Heinkens Prince
Von Bismarck retired from the premier
hliip at the beginning of the year, but
resumed his place nt the 4uiad of the
PrusMiih Ministry lute in the autumn.
The only events of* enttsei|iionce in
Austria were the Exhibition, tue cholera,
and tho frhudly visit of :tn undentone
my, the Kiu?: of Italy. The latter eveut
was eupp ised to have ajuie >hewii?ig mi a
Ooruinn Ausiriin nut1 fci'lian afli.tu :o
against prance mud ultramoutauj Eu
ir.tpc. ?
Tihe Q'i'pe dnriug the past year has
not ceased to utter lus protests ifgu'ttlst
th : continued deprivation of his tchipir
ul power by Italy, but the parliament of
i hat country has only responded b}'
severer measures nnd the passage of the
act abolishing religious corporations
The littlo kingdom >ef ifollund has
been carrying oh a war in Southern
Asia and the great empire of llu-sia,
another iu the central rcgi ms of tha t
eontiucnt. The expedition against
Khiva began to move Mureh 1. an I the
capital M tho Khanate fell eforo Getier
al Kaufmann's guns dune 10?a re
markably short campaign for onoso
successful
In K?stern Asia the'event of conse
quenee was the first audience ever ac
curded by a Chi nose goveri^n to Eu
ropean and American diplomatists. It
was obtain-d after years exertion, and
may be regarded aa-an i tportuit step
toward bringing China into the family
of nations.
The usual revolutionary erneutes may
tie recorded of most of the South Amur
ican States. Mexico, fur wonder, ha?.
neeu comparatively quiet, and the praise
tor such a pheonmen >n is doubtless due
to the wise a (ministration of Lcrdo de
Tcjada. In the Saud?vich Inlands a
uew king was crowned.
In the way of geographical and sei
entitle discovery, the expeditions of Sir
Samuel Raker lo Cuutr.il Africa., au 1 of
the Amoricnn Government to the hither
to unexplored regions of the Yellowstone
rivfr, and the ill fated A rctio voyage of
Captain (lull, may be mentioned. The
news of the death of tho latter was ro
eeived hero in May, and au expedition
was filled out by the Government to
search tor his surviving companions.
The criminal record has been as ox
citing as the Newgate Calendar. Local
ly, fur murders, we have had the iiiysto
riuU8 taking off pf )ChurJes Goodrich,
and the broud-dny iiPrMBsinutiou of Mans
field Tracy Walworlh, by his own am
.For honyings wo have had that of W nil
Foster; und for trials, fh?sv of Stokes,
Sharkey, Tweed, Gonet, and .Mayor
Hull. Iti England, the trial of the
Tichborno claimant for perjury has
occupied the larger part of tho year.
We have space ooly-to ruu over the
titles of a few of tho most startling dis
asters of the year. ?Th roe of our largo
ocean boats Jwere lost?the Whito Star
steamship Atlantic, on Meaghor's Head,
Nova Scotia ; the Inmau steamship,
City of Washington, on the same coast;
add the French steamship Ville due
Havre, in mid ocean. JBy tfaflr*t,54(j
lives, and by the last 234 jjVos were
lost. The burning of the jd^tohi so
steamer Wnwasset, the fulltyfcijh* bridge
at Dizon, III., and the .raikbscj accident
at Richmond 8witoh, R.X*?jM?d to the
horrors of the year. Op the coast of
England, last January, thrT^^igrant
ship Northfloct went ? down/' after' a
collision, with 200 lives^adcTaind earth

swallowed up the city of San Vlalrador. /

'I wish I hud five hundred dollurs,'
(Iraham Marsh said, ns he looked up
from the paper he had been treading.
'What would you do with it V asked
Alieo Moore, smiling down if*to his face .
She had laid aside her work and had
come to his side. 7
?'' *4*nW?w ?'.??
'I would buy a partnership in some
reliable firm where a young and active
partner is wanted,' ho replied
'Would five hundred dollars do it ?'
she asked.
'.Not five hundred in itself, .bat with
what I could put with it I could onaily
get a chance to in Vest it asT^ proposed,'
he answered. 'Rut tile 'five^'hundrcd is
what is needed, and without 'it there's
no use talking.'
'And if you hud <it?if?-you could
buy into some firm; ! wl:at*lheii V she
askod. ?
'What then ? Why we could be mar
ried and have u home of. our owu, that's
all,' he answered.
' c
A soft li^ht came into her eyes.
'Perhaps if we work' n - little harder,
you and I, wo can get it iusiueef a year,'
she said, rcsolutely.
j 'I don't want you to hc'.jh get it,' he
answered. 'You work "~bi?rd enough

can take you, und let ' yo>i gire up
this drudgery of writvag for a living

*li i-ift such eery b ird work,' she
said. .'I should hl.c to help get a
home. You ought to be willing to let
roe. I shall be the one to enjoy it
most.'
'I know, but you work hard enough
nowbe .answered; a smile curving the
lines a\> out his mouth, ns she let her
hand tall caressingly on his hair. It
was pleasuut to fuel her touuh upon his
head, and to kuow that she eared so
much fur him.
4 hhonldu't mind a little extra work,'
she said, thoughtfully,'because I should
a hi the time be Junking forward to what
the reward of it would be. You work
hard; it's no more than fair that 1 should
help you, if I can.'
?Yes, I know I work hard,' lit) siid
?ThatjS a fact, Alice, I shouldn't work
so hard if It wasn't for you '
lW ell, then, S?nce you work so hard
for me you ought to let me work a little
for you,' she Fuid. 'It will he only an
extra poem or story a week. In that
way 1 can get something to help you
in this plan of yours, perhaps.'
'Well, 1 don't mind your trying,' be
said ut last, 'but 1 don't like the idea ol
you working uny.harder than you do at
present.'
She smiled down into the handsome
face of the nun she hud promised to
marry. It was tiot a strong face.
There wero linos of weakness about the
mouth, aud of indecision in his fcatuicu
which a physiognomist would uut have
liked to sec.
Rut to Alico Moore, who had io few
friends, he wus mure than you can im
aginerunless you are iu circumstances
similar to those which surrouudei her.
To her marriage with him shu locked
forward longingly, trusuiu^ly. Thou
she would have a home ol her owu.
Then, when lovo sat down beside their
own hearth stone, they would smile at
the world and have strong hearts to hat
tie with it.
Alice wrote the 'extra story' every
week It was a task sometimes to mus
ter up idcus when ideas seemed nearly
exhausted, but tho impulse that promp
ted her to perform this extra labor kopt
her stendily to her determination, and
the publisher who had commuted to take
the stories sbo proposed to furnish him
each week, found them promptly on
hand.
Any ono wno knows anything about

ho thought of the home she was going
to have, and the love that would be hers
In jtj hor lingers flew over the paper,
and'it scorned to her that the stories she
r ? ri;trt t niii a >>w r?t (/innoi
wrote then were her best ones. v
; lI boa Inying up quite a little sum to
ward that five hundred dollars/ she said
to Graham Marsh, one evening, when he
dropped in to chat an hour or two, as he
did quite often. jJf j
'J think. I know whore I can invest
it,' he said. 'I heard of an opening yes
tcrday. Lent told mo about it.'
The year wont on slowly, it seemed to
to Alice Moore. She grow more and
more weary of the life in Mrs. St John's
boarding house. It was r.o different
from what her ideal home life was, so
lacking, utterly, in,the thousand .uame
less things that mako life what lifo ough t
to be.
By and by, ns the year was drawing
to a close, Grnharn Marsh's visits be
came less frequent. Ho pleidod ' press
of business when she eluded him for not
coming oft euer. But there was' some
thing in his manner that troubled Alice
A something?what, she ce.nl 1 not tell
?seemed to stretch itrclf between them.
He was ofteu thoughtful and peroocu
pied. He seemed ill at ease in her com
puny. He spoke little of the future,
and uot at all of the home about which
they had talked 10 much.
By and by a rumor of the cause of
this change in her lover came to her.
He had met a fairer faco than her own,
and the gossips said that he went often
cr to sec this new fancy of his than he
did too see the worn in who wore this
betrothal Hog.
At first Alice could not believe it.
he tri,n/rf not. But by and by she
found out something that made h*r be
in spite of her dot er mi nation not to be
lieve it,
When Graham Marsh came to her
the first time u'tcr her discovery, she
put the question to him fairly and
squnrcly. Bid ho care for some one
else more than he did for her '{
He could uot evade a direct answer,
and she found nut that the man she hud
loved so well was recreant to his prom
ise.
4Ah, Graham!'she said, with reproach
in her fiico aud tone, 'why couldn't you
have told me this frankly and honestly
before? Did you suppose I would keep
yon against your wishes V
'I have not asked my freedom back,'
he said fretfully. 'I do not now,'
'Do you imagine I would wear your
ring another day, knowing what I do?'
she asked. 'You wrong me. I give it
buck to you now, and hope you may be
happy,' she added, earnestly.
He took the ring, ashnmcd of him
self throughly. There was something
noble and lofty in Alice thut COQIUIUII
ded admiration aud respect Shu had given
him no reproaches fur his conduct, only
good wishes for his futuro happiuesa.
ITe married the woman who had won
him awuy from Alice. Among his wed J
ding gifts was a letter, and opening it
he drew out three hundred dollars, and
a scrap of paper on whioh was writ
ten?
'Accept this from a friend. You ueed
a home- Let this go toward buy
ing you one, and may it be a home in
deed.'
There was no name; but he knew well
enough whom it came from, If he had
been a strong, proud man he would uot
have accepted it* Rue he was a woak
man in many things; and ho accepted
this money, telling himself that some
time he would repay it. He needed
it so much, he argued in his selfish
nusg.
Alice is butter off, I think without
Graham Marsh than she would have
been with him. He was never worthy
of her. She is infinitely above him in
nobility of mind a*td soul. She would
have chafed over his narrow solfishocsfl,
aud his watering, vacillating purposes.
Some time the huppincss may come to
her which she deserves: the happiness
of home, and a heart worthy ol h?r love.
I trust it will.
A Torre 11 ante dry goods clerk is
said,to bo so slim, and his head bo sharp,
that he slipped a rubber tip over his
poll and attended a recent masquerade
ball as a lead poucij,
Fortune (inlned by Telling r the
Truth
j lliw ?w J*dl I.rr*",ii/v?oji tiotlos Ujjn
A young man named Evans, had a
situation in London, in what we call in
thin country a fancy dry goods storo,
but what we cnll a haberdasher shop.
One part of his duty was to. arrange the
different colored pieces of goods in the
shop windows so as to mako, them look
as attractive as possible,?One rainy
morning in November he was late com
ing to the store. H* went into the
window to arrange tho goods* Being
in a hurry he slipped. Iiis foot went
through the window that cost twouty
pounds, or about a hundred dollars in
our money. Ho was frightened when
he saw what he dad done. His first
thought was to cover op tv?? broken
glass with a piece of goods, sa^ nothing
about it, and if charged with doing it. to
deny it. But he promised tho friend j
who r commended him to tho place al
ways to te)l the truth. lie rcmcmberei
that promise and resolved to keep it.
When his employer came iu he Went
at once and told him of the accident,
expressed his sorrow for it and offered to
pay for it out of his wages. The gen.
tleman was very angry: lie scolded
him sharply, and went to his counting
room calling him an awkwrd clumsy "j
fellow. 'Bet.,' said he in talking to the
foreman about it, 'Evan3 is an hobest Tel
low. He is a fellow to be trusted.' ? And
he was trusted. Pretty soon. ho found
himself* promoted. The promotion .went
ou until he.was made ibromm of the
establishment. Hofore his .employer
died, he gave him his daughter,' the only
child he had,'in'marriage,'aud loft ihtta
heir of nil his property, And v.hcn ha
told him he was going to do this, ho arid
to him 'Evans, this all comes put of that
broken window' and your telliug the
truth about it.'
Here you see how much good > Was
b-Mic by telling the truths Hut1 if* he
tuiu a iie lusicau ui u:o irtu-u, tnu
lie would have been ? found out. Ho
would have lost his character; and lost
his situation, aud instead of having that
good wife nnd that handsouo fortune,
would probably have gone to mill, and
all Iiis injury would have eo.uu from one
lie.
Wackup's Washing.
Mr. Wackup, a married man of Bridge
port, <ju:t work early tho other after
noon, und went home to fix up for the
purpose of speu ling the evening?or
rather half the night?with a number
of his friends. He found his wife lying
upou a lounge enjoying a sick headache
but lie couldn't find a clean shirt. Mrs
Wackup said his shirts were washed
but not ironed, nnd she was too ill to do
it, and it was tho girl's afternoon out.
shade of disappointment clouded his
brow, and rushing into the kitchen, be
slauttned the door with mueh earnest
ncss, and fortunately found an iron on
the range, nice and hot. Then he dived
into the la.?kct of dampened clothes
aud found one of his shirts at the bot
tum, just as he expected.
Ho hprend the garment out on a table
without first rcmoviog the oil cl th cover
nnd hurriedly consulted his watch
Then he couldn't find tho iron holder
and substituted hut pocket handkerchief
and after burning four of bis finger?
and breaking one of tho aoimnandments
he lauded the hot iron on Iiis shirt
bosom. He thought the garments had
a strnngo look, but supposed it would
assume its proper shape when ironed
aud he shoved the iron up and dow
like a jack piano. The labor seouicd so
easy that he mentally said he h id a nin
to follow th* business for a living. Then
bo undertook to turn his shirt, aud just
because it adhered to the glazed tabl
rover, he gave it a violent jerk, adding
I at least eis inches more to the split in
the back.
Then ho noticed for tho first tim
I that he had set the hot iron ou the tail
of the garment, and scorched a holo in
j it us big ns his baud, and in hi* haste
to remove the smoothing machine he
n glected to use tho holder, aud dropped
the hot fraud on his choice toe; nnd
when Mrs. Wackup who was startled by
the intensity of bis language, entered the
kitchen, holding her head with both
bauds, she discovered her husband hop
ping about the rooni on one loot and
clasping the other with both his hands.'
The sympathy that Mrs. Wackup tender
cd was not of a nature that her Mistor

About Thumbs, a w**
? .tw?r
\Vc suppose that all our rcade? ku.-w
that man would not be what he is with
out tho thumb This little faot has bepa
so impressed upon us from our soUopl
duys that we are not likely to forget it
Without tho thumb for a lever, we
would be unable to hold anythingit^.t
ly, "and most of the inventions of our era
would be useless, not to speak of tho
enormous general power that would .bo
lost Let us accept the .fact of having
thumbs, then, and be thankful and re
joioe over our Parwioiair friends,Ihe
apes. We did not kWw, howfever, Until
we saw it in print lutely, that th? thumb
represented int lligence and affection,
Horn idiots frequently come into tho
tho world without thumbs Infante,
until they arrive at an ago whon.intel
lect na\vins, constantly keep their fingers
folded above their thumbs, but .they
soon kuow better, and as th,e, mfnd^ do
relops, recognise tho dignity and useful
uess of the despised digit At the ap
proach of death the thumbs of tho dying,
as if impelled by some vaguo foar, seed
refuse under the finders, and whou thus
found arc an almost certain anuouaco
ment of the end So, in leaving Ihls
world, it would seem that our band:?, in
their lust desire for movement, assumo,
with our growing uncon3Qiousac3a, the
same augges\iven::p?ft(ita^' 4n 'which
the new born bsbe,; which! hacttltiaf all
dormant, first jsyo themselves. Small
