One Day’s Record.

By V. S.

A DAILY paper of last week contained the following headings of news articles, in almost consecutive order. They show the current of events at the present time; for what this paper publishes is but a specimen of that with which all the papers of the land are teeming to-day:

“Continued Ravages of Cholera in Russia—Exciting Scenes in the French Assembly—Terrible Coal Mine Disaster—Railroad Accidents—Marine Disaster—Workmen’s Strike—Volcanic Eruption—The Persian Famine—The Yellow Fever in Brazil—Hurricanes and Earthquakes in the West Indies—Outrages upon American Shipping by the Mexicans—Fires and Fatal Accidents—Frauds in the New York City Treasury—Three cases of Wife Murder—A Tragedy in Illinois—Murder of Two Florida Officials by a Negro Desperado—Fatal Stabbing Affray in Cincinnati.”

Such are the events which are the order of the day. The disturbances in nature find a counterpart in the willful crimes of man. V. S.
