GENERAL CHRONOLOGY.
Another year is dead. To f,he Tast cosmic
view, which takes sweeping cognizance of
great eras and cycles of time, of the uni
verse and of the laws of that God
"from out whose band.
The centuries fall, like grains of sand,"
it "is only the veriest atom of time, but to
the finite, practical, uork-a-day, world
watching view, it is a very con
siderable lapse of life that has gone
by, and, in a certain sense, is dead with the
year 1891. Yet, in another sense, the life
that has lapsed is not dead, for the multi
form experience that has been gained dur
ing the going by of the year has its influ
ence in the future of every individual.
Something in the same way the year,
though it has died, has become immortal,
for itcts or events arc immutable, and the
occurrences of one year send their inexor
able current of cause and effect through suc
ceeding ones and adown the centuries.
2Cot of all events is this true, but of so
many that possible gravity of efiect Ehould
mace one respect and study the cause as it
occurs, and with this idea in mind, the
thoughtful reader will often, in glancing at
these broad pages, find tcat there is much
written between the lines in this "abstract
and brief chronicle of the times."
It will be observed that to facilitate ref
erence, the condensed review of "tie year's
history is divided into departinentspf chro
nology, general and local, political happen
ings and necrology, the first three contain
ing the important and illustrative chron
iclings of each day usually chosen from the
mass of news because of value from a view
point of permanency rather than of transi
tory interest: and the fourth, containing,
day by day, the names of those who have
died that is, the most prominent ones in
the world at large and the more widely
known of those in the two cities and the
region round about.
