Peace and Prosperity Together Rule the World. AN AVERAGE TWELVEMONTH. 1SS8 Did Not Bring Any Great War Upcs tbo Earth, and. Though Thoi'o Were Crimes, Disasters- and Convulsions of Nature, and the Band of Death Has Not Been Idle, Mankind's Progress Gen- erally Baa Been Onward and Upward. The year 18SS has been comparative^ un- eventful, and yet an era of continuous progress and almost unbroken prosperity throughout the world. Truo, there have •been local troubles here and there—an inter- national \dispute in Samoa, an imbroglio In Hayti, quarrels in eastern Europe and small wars in Asia, raids by American Indians and insurrections among West India negroes. True, also, there have been more important disputes in more highly organized societies; cabinet crises in France and Spain, a change of rulers in Germany and a continuation of the long and wearying contest in Ireland. But all have got through the year with less trouble than any expected at its beginning. Of calamities caused by great natural forces there have been comparatively tew; the greatest were the floods and earthquakes in China, which caused the death of at least hundreds of thousands of persons and reduced ten times as many to extreme poverty and suffering. In Japan occurred a most astonishing phenomenon. A lake on a mountain broke through into a volcano, the whole upper half of the mountain was blown into the air by the steam thus created, and in its fall buried a number of small villages and several hundred persons. In the United Btates there were terrible snow storms early in the year, causing great loss of lifej and in the gulf states the yellow fever caused some loss of life late in the season. But taking the year as.a whole there has been unusual ex- emption; there has been no blight upos the grain, no murrain upon the cattle; no general pestilence has anywhere fallen upon mankind, and the civilized nations have had no wars. In the line of inventions and public im- provements the year has been a good one. In every part of the civilized world railroads and telegraphs have extended, all tho indus- trial arts have nourished, and the finer hu inanities have developed unchecked. In short, the year 1SS8 must rank in history as one of those in which mankind aro fairly happy because they are not making exciting history. Following will be found a carefully com- piled and classifiod record of the more im- portant events of 1SS8. Of course it has been found impossible in the space available to in- clude everything worthy of note, but it is believed that the taio relative values cf the year's doings and happsniugs has beea ob- served with tolerable accuracy.
