TRADE HOLDING ITS OWN.
BRAZIL,'3 REVOLUTION NOT A
CAUBR OF COMMOTION.
Ooffe* Only One-e'.gttb Higher for the
Week Distrust as to Earr'.son’s
Policy on the Silver Question Ex
ports end Imports Both Show an
Increase -The Week's Failures.
Nrw York. Not. 22.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade for the past week is
•s follow!:
The Brazilian revolution ha* hail surpris
ingly little influence as yet. Coffseisonly
% cent higher for the week, and the new
government appears to be so generally
sot tamed that apprehension of closing
of the ports or interruption
of trade has almost ceased. But
ft is possible that the money markets
were indirectly affected to some extent
through Europe, wnere uncertainty con
tinues. The bank of England lost for the
week £1,050,000, and the bank of France
430,000 francs. Here money has been scarce
and dull at times, light atPhilatleiphia, and
decidedly close at Boston.
HARRIS'",.v's SILVER POLICY.
Repor's regarding the policy of the ad
ministration about silver have been as
siduously used to create a feeling of distrust
as to the financial future, and in any
the near approach of toe first session of the
rew coDgress would naturally have an un
settling influence with some. Under the
circumstances the money markets have
been less disturbed than might have t ecu
apprehended, and the volume of busir-.'-Si
has not been perceptibly affected.
Clear!'gs continue larger than a year ago,
at New York by 16 per cent, for the list
week, at Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago
by 414 [* !r cent., and at all points outside
cf New York by 7;-j p-r cent. W ule th-
treasury ha* taken is or the week 11,430,(XX)
more thin it has paid out. heavy exports of
domestic products give strong a-surauce
that the money market wi.l hardly be dis
turbed by demands from abroad.
EXPORTS ASD IMPORTS.
The exports and imports for the month
thus lar both ahow an increase of about 13
per c-rit., but as the exports exceeded the
imports by $22,-500, 000 in November last
year, the comparison is most satisfacloy.
The marketing of crops and the movement
of money from tuis c: y to pay for them,
have produced an ea*i<-r situation at west
ern and southern centers, anl while no
change is reported at Chicago, and money
is active at 7 per cent, at Mdwauke-, it is
at other points reported distinctly easier, or
in ample supply for legitimate uses.
THE GREAT INDUSTRIES.
The great industries are making steady
Jrogrt-c. though the sale of steel rails a
35, reported last week, was of a small
quantity needed for renewal ocily. The
market is wring, ar.d mg and most form*
of manufactured iro i and steel fully main
tain previous quotations.
Cotton manufacture has been doing a
steady bnsiuese with firm prices, and a to
it* prosperity evidence is afforded by divi
dends averaging 0.73 jer cent, yea iy ou
the thirty-three Fall Kiver mill*.
The wcolen goods business dor-s not
appear at Boston to be Improving to any
great extent, and it is now definitely -ettied
that no advance over last year s prices will
be attempted, but there bai bn more
activity in the wool market hre, at Phila
delphia, and at B -stun, the sales at Boston
reaching 3,000,(XX) pounds, though at cou
cessions. but still on transactions of mag
nitude.
Rubber was distorted at first by fears
that tte suppiv would be cut off. but with
new para at 72 cente, apprehension disap
peared.
WHEAT A LITTLE HIGHER.
Wheat has risen %of a cent, w ith sales
of 25,000,000 bushels here. Corn has risen
only y, of a cent, with sales of 5,500,000
bushels.
Cotton is unchanged, with sales of 408,-
000 baits. The week’s receipts exoeel
year’s by 19,0 JO, aud the exports exceed
last year’s by 39.009 bales.
Oats rose % of a cent, and pork products
are higher, while with sale* of 529,000
bags, c ffee has held only >4 of a cent of its
advance.
The general coarse of prices has bean no
ward. however, t‘e ad van e since Nov. 1
being about 1 per cent, on all commodi
ties.
Accounts from other cities as to the state
of businc s are almost uniformly of the
favorable character recentlv ote erred, and
embrace some items of special interest. At
Chicago the dressed b -ef receipts are double
those of last year, aud of provisions more
than double, while the dry goods trade still
quotes satisfactory results, with payments
easy in the country.
Minnesota's lumber cut.
The Minneapolis wheat market is very
active, and the lumber cutis put at 275,-
000,000 feet. Trade is satisfactory there
and at St. Paul, with improving cdlec
ti ns.
Business is improving at Kansas City,
especially in dry goods.
Pittsburg notes still belter prices for somo
forms of manufactured iron;glas ac ivo
and firm and a movement of 3,000,000
bushels of coal down the river.
Philadelphia notes that though the cloth
ing trade is still dull because of the weather,
accounts arc generally m fair sbapo.
In leather unusual activity for the season
is observed, especially in morocco aud goat
skins.
On the whole the outlook remains fnvorn
ble, though for the present monetary
scarcity, has a depressing influence upon
some eastern points.
The business failures occurring during
the last seven days number for the United
Btates 245, aud for Canada thirty-two,
a total of 277, us compared with 205 last
week.

proprietor of the Haynes hotel in this plane,
died in Alabama a day or two ago.
* BRUNSWICK’S MAYORALTY.
Crovatt Declines to Run—J. P. Harvey
Now Put in Nomination.
Brunswick, Nov, 22.— Toe political fight
| in Brunswick is waxing warm, and this
) campaign promisee to be the most hotly
contested of any. To-day's developments,
however, make the outlook less compli
; cated. A. J. Crovatt. wbo wa nominated
by the bnsiae;s me a' meeting Wednesday,
' has decided positively not to enter the race
for the mayoralty under auy circumstances.
To-night was set‘for an adjourned meet
ing of the Young Mens' Democratic Crab a’
the court bouse. Tee building was crowded

und retired early, and A. L Branham was
elected president.
MADE A MARS MEETING.
A motion was made and prevailed that
the by-laws, etc., be tabled and the ciub
converted into a mass meeting. A. I.

FLORIDA’S ORANGE CROP.
A Consolidation of the Exchange and
the Growers' Union.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 22.— The
board of directors of the Florida Orange
Growers’ Union have been in session for
two days at Ocala, and the result is a c n
solidation of the Orrnge Growers' union and
the Florida Fruit Exchange. Negotiations
tending to this end have been in progress
for some weeks past. The advisory
board of the union will hereafter
attend all meetings of the exchange
direct irs. The result of the consolidation
will be to place ne irly all of the orange crop
in the hands of the exchange, w hich has
already handled 09,000 b- xes of oranges
this season,an increase of 500 per cent, over
the previous year. The total orange crop
of Florida this vear is estimated at from
1,800.000 to 2,100,000 boxes.
The exchange, through its agencies in
various sections of the state, probably con
trols at least 1,500,000 boxes of this crop.
This consolidation marks a r.ew era in
marketing Florida oranges, and it is ex
pected that it will save growers at least
$ 100,000 this year.
WARE S SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Gratifying Reports Made at the
County Convention.
Waycross, Ga., Nov. 22.—The Ware

MR. TILDKU’S ENEMIES.
What Became of the Benatora Who
Counted Him Out.
From the .Vein York Star.
It is said that retrospect is not always
pleasant, but that it is always profitable in
an intellectual sense. If this be true, then
it is well to look back to an event in the
history of this nation that will always be
fringed with black lines. The result of the
recent election* provokes me into recalling
it, and telling the story that a reverie
brings up. Henry B. I’avne, the present
democratic senator from Ohio, who will
next year give way for another democrat,
ns the result of the recent political cyclone,
was one of the electoral commission which
made Rutherford B. Haves President of
the United States. In speaking of that
work Mr. Payne once said: “Five hundred
thousand men stood ready on March 4,
1837, to do battle to the death, and the Boat
ing of Mr. Hayes saved us from an armed
conflict of the most deplorable character.”
As Mr. Pavnc was tho chairman of tho com
mittee that framed the electoral commis
mission bill, and was on the inside of the
events then agitating tho whole country, it
is supposed that he knows what he is talk
ing about. Hi* position as a man of the high
est character makes his word accepted with
out question. How wonderfully, then, have
we traveled since those days. ]t is only twelve
years ago, aud yet wo are more than a
generation, in results, away from that
dangerous condition outlined by Mr.Payne,
which was the outgrowth of tbo armed
confiict between the sections. After the
first spasm of anger which tho seating of
Mr. Hayes aroused the country started
toward anew and better life. That ovent
laid tho cornerstone of anew democratic
temple, which was so well built that, eight
years later on, it overshadowed the repub
lican barn, well stocked with years of ex
perience and control. Again the demo
cratic party has triumphed, and its powers
for the future are so well defined by it that
1 ain led to revive an old story, yet one that
should always be kept new.
These reflections bring up somo vary
appropriate thoughts of the conflict of
1870 and 1877. They were recalled to mo
to-day in a voPy ’ forcible way. Somo
malicious man, “not having tho fear of the
Lord bofore his eyes, but being possessed of
the devil,” as the lawyers say in their in
dictments, has seen fit to preserve in endur
ing form on a broad piece of parchment
the signatures of the legislative, executive
and judicial officers of the government in
1876-’77. It is perhaps well that it has been
done, for it will for all time call atten
tion to an event la the history of the nation
that will foievor stand to rebuke those who
may in the future, for u similar purpose,
feel like testing tho temper of the people,
and of again stretching the powers of tho
government almost to a breaking point.
It seems as though the republican party
began to decline from the moment it lent
itself to chicanery for the purpose of keep
ing itself at the head of affairs by elevuting
a weak and undeserving man to the highest
office in the gift of the people, to which ho
was never elected. Naturally, his adminis
tration sowed the seed of discord that
ripened with the election of Garfield into
an open revolt that has never yet been
quelled, even with the accident of Harrison’s
election.
What wonderful changes have taken
place iu the legislative branches of the gov
ernment since those davs. The chart upon
which I am looking, bearing the signatures
of each and every member of both houses
of congress, tells a most remarkable story,
and one that men both in public aud
private life may read with profit. The
complexion of tho Senate has been radically
changed since those days, and the devasta
tion in the House has been even more
marked when we come to take into consid
eration tho number of its members. It
is astonishing to note them to-day, after
the recent terrible defeat of the Republican
party where it should have won. Perhaps
the Senate is the best place to begin to
illustrate the ravages time aud political
revenges have made among prominent men.

tboae year* and made their records for good
or haul, as each of ot may maxe a gauge of
their conduct, will not, it seem* to me. be
amiss at this moment.
The fi-st name on the roll to follow that
of U. S. Grant is not very assuring. It is
that of Taomae W. Ferry, wno signs him
self as acting Vice-Brsaident and presiding
fficer of the Senate. He decla-ed Hayes
elected. He was and is a weak man, and in
those trying times it took tne best and
braved of us party to bolster him up to
! the final duties of declaring the
1 result as the elect ral comrniasio i had
found it for hi He wai then a senator
' from Michigan, and reputed to be a wealthy
man. He fai!i in business soon after, and
j then wi.i beaten for re-election. After
war !Le went to Europe, an 1 was prac
i Ucaily an outcast from tne count-y of bit
j birth, and upon *h *e history he has male
! the impress of some questionable acts, for
several years. He has now returned to
j Grand Haven, on Lax- Michigan, and is a
I country postmaster. Talk about time set
j ting all tnir.gs even!
Oid Senator Christ iancy was his colleague
then, but he resigned in a close bargain
with Brasilia*.t Hayes, so os to allow oiuft
and honest Zich Chandler to be electel to
the Senate. Christiancy got a mission to
South America, as the pr.ee of his resigna
tion, but he did not remain there long. He
returned to this country in serious trouble
with toe young girl he tiad married in
Washington. Hhe was a treasury clerk and
he a senator. An unfair match, and she
got the worst of it. Bae died after years of
neartbummga and scandal. He still lives
at Lansing, Mich.
In those days George E. Spencer and G.
Gold waite represented the state of Alabama
in the Senate. Spencer, after his term ex
pired, married an actress known as May
Nunez, and became a mine speculator iu
Nevada. Now he is called a political
tramp. He really never had any residence
in Alabama, and when his life as a carpetbag
senator was ended he drifted west. Gold
waite was a curious old character, who
looked a good deal like the pictures of a
country parson you find in comical nanacs.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed spectacle*,
always and <wn on the rip end of his nose, and
was so absent-minded that he would pay
his car fare every time the conductor passed
him between his boarding house and the
capitol. They used to have to tell him
wnen the Senate had adjourned. He is now
on the Golden Shore.
The Etate of Arkansas was then repre
sented by .Stephen W. Dorsey and Powell
Clayton. Dorsey was in those days a very
prominent man in the Republican party,
and wai a still more prominent one in the
“moral campaign,” when Gen. Garfield
was elected President. Dorsey has a ranch
now down in New Mexico, having escaped
toe clutches of the law by an accident, but
spends most of his time in New York as a
‘promoter.” Powell Clayton is still brows
ing around in politics, but has no place in
the high life of the republic. Five years
ago a negro beat him for chairman of the
national convention. But he makes money
out of Eureka Springs in his state, and still
has some influence there.
Newton Booth and A. A. Sargeat were
then in the Senate from California. They
were simply two pliant republicans. Sar
gent was a much stronger man than Booth,
although the latter had a good deal the
moat polish. B ,oth ,has gone back to San
Francisco, and Sargent, after having been
minister t > Berlin, was two years ago beaten
for re-election to the Senate by Leland
Stanford.
Jerome B. Chaffee and Henry S, Teller
then represented Colorado. Chaffee, who
was a power in party management for sev
eral years, is dead. Toller was Secretary
of tho Interior under Arthur, and is back
iu the Senate. Connecticut had two demo
cratic senators in those days—W. W. Eaton
and W. 11. Barnum. Two republicans now
sit in their places. Eaton has been in the
lower House since then, hut is now in pri
vate life, living at Hartford. Barnum
remained a groat figure in his party as the
head of the national democratic committee,
but died soon after Cleveland was beaten.
Delaware had Bayard and Saulsbury in
the Senate then. Mr. Bayard has hoon
.Secretary of State since, and has just taken
unto himself anew wife. Saulsbury was
beaten last year by a republican. George
Gray and Anthony Higgins are now the
senators. Florida had Jones in the Senate
then. He got crazy over a girl and Is now
in Detroit looking after her. S. B. Conover,
its republican member of 1876, has gone
back to his original business as a doct >r,
and is now in Florida. For several years
after ho left tho Senate he occupied a minor
position in the Marine Hospital service at
Philadelphia that gave him just about
money enough to keep himself aud family
from want. He was simply picking up the
threads of his old life in the army.
From Georgia there were then Gen. J. B.
Gordon and T. M. Norwood, both demo
crats. Gordon is now governor, after a
few years of effort to get rich developing
his native state. Norwood went back home
when his terra expired; kicked out of the
Democratic party, ran as an independent
candidate for governor, and was defeated.
Ho then wrote some novels, but is back
again in congress. Ben Hill succeeded him
iu the senate, and nfter a few years of
brilliant service died from cancer of the
tongue.
Gen. Logan was then in the Senate from
lUinoie, and had for his colleague Dick
Oglesby, who has since been governor of
the state. The first is dead and t o latter
looking for new honors. J. E. McDonald
a id O. P. Morton represented Indiana, aud
about equally divided tho honors in intel
lectual power. The latter died somo years
ago, but McDonald still lives in Indian
apolis. Allisonjund Wright were from lowa.
Wright quit politics in disgust at the end of
his term, because he preferred the law; but
Allison is still there.
James M. Harvey, a dull, ordinary mio,
with Ingalls, was there from Kansas.
Harvey gave way to an ordinary Plumb,
who got rich in railroad speculations. He
is there now, and so is Ingalls.
Who will not remember that curious old
character, T. C. McCreery of Kentucky.
Ho was the laziest, yet one of the most
brilliant men in the Senate. He never
opened his mouth except to vote, only when
a senator died or there was somo unusual
occurrence to arouse him from indifference;
then ho always spoke with power, and in
the ohoicest English. He had for a col
league J. W. Stevenson, now dead. There
is a vast difference between these two men
of tho past aud Beck and Blackburn, Ken
tucky’s present representatives in the
Senate.
In the days of which I am writing Louisi
ana was represented alone by J. R. West.
That state had not been reconstructed then,
and there was a very decided quarrel going
on over the vacant senatorsnip and the
status of the state generally It was, per
haps, the worst of all the examples of the
carpet-bag era. West was put out at the
end of his term, and was made a commis
sioner of the District of Columbia, aud still
lives in Washington.
The state of Maine, perhaps, shows the
most wonderful changes of them all. Han
nibal Hamlin and James G. Blaine were
then its senators, whde Hale and Frye, the
present senators, were iu the lower house.
Old Mr. Hamlin has retired from politics,
and still lives up in Ba gor, on the Penob
scot river, the silent obsorver of current
events. Blaine still has his band on the trig
ger.
Maryland had W. P. Whyte and George
R. Dennis for senators during the Hayes
contest. Whyte was beaten for re-election
by A. P. Gorman, who has figured so nrom
ineatly for tho democrats every campaign
since. Whyte has since been mayor of
Baltimore, and now lives there quietly
practicing law. Dennis, who was there
with him, is dead.
George S. Boutwell and Dawes repre
sented Massachusetts in those days. The
latter holds Oil, whde Boutwell is trying to
make a living practicing law in the depart
ments at Washington.
William Windom of Minnesota, who was
a most credita la onator, became Gar
field’s secretary of the treasury, aud is
there again with Herrison. Hi was frozen
out of politics in his on state by Sabin,
the lumber mao, Iu 1876 J. R. McMiilau
waa his colleague. He quit public life in
| ISB7.
P. M. Cockrell arsd Lewis B. B:gy, both
democrats, then (poke for Missouri. Bogy
was a curious character. He wu from ofa
of the old F.-e-cfa famine that settled St.
Louis, and is now dead, waiie the breez 7
•aeorge \ <w' r.a in his p.*oe. Gen. Cockrell
; soil holds on.
The wonderful change* that have taken
place :n the Senate w;t ,ia tha past twelve
year* can be seen from the fact that in the
days when a iTern lent was elected bv a
commission, B. K. linio and J. L. Alcorn
, represented Mississippi. They were both
j repablicaoa, and Bruce, the same col -red
man that wag register of the treasury under
Arthur. Revels of Mus.- ippi the first
negro who sat in the .Senate and Bruce was
the seeo-d- Both of them were exceedingly
j creditable representatives of their r.oe.
Aicom was a man of and fair ability.
! He is now a planter in t-e state he then
rep rose ted in the Senate.
Nebraska had A. tS. Paddock and P7W.
Hitchcock, both repuf cans. Both were
beaten for re-election, L-t Paddock skipped
back last year by a compromise.
ibe fe-tive Saaron, wno was in the Sen
ate from Nevada at this tune, was rarely
ever in his seat. John P. Jones, the other
one. always attended to his business, and
has been returned ever since. Both were
republ.can*. Sharon spent the greater part
I of his money and time :n law suits wita hu
j various mistresses, ar. 1 thea died. The
j recent death of Judge Terry was an out
come of his intrigues.
There has been a great change from
New Hampshire. B. IVadieigh and A. H.
Bragin have both been passed out by their
constituents. The f r ner is in Boston
practicing law, while Id man Cragin was
not iong ago engaged in the patent right
business. VVnen tney were in the Senate,
trying to help Haves -nto the presidency,
F. T. Frelinghuysen, who was Arthur’s
Secretary of State, was the republican sen
ator from New Jerse T. P. Randolph, a
democrat, was his ccl.ague. Both are now
dead.
In the list of signatures of the men who
were in the United states Senate in 1876
appear those of Rosc-e Coukling and Fran
cis Kernan as representatives from the state
of New York. The mention of these two
names recalls the conflict Jthat was begun
with Mr. Conklirg on Marcn 4,1877, which
ended in bis ostracism by Garfield and final
withdrawal from politic*. Kernan was suc
ceeded bv a republican, and now lives at his
home in Utica enjoying his declining days
in peace and quiet. M. W. Ransom and
A. S. Merrimon, both democrats, repre
sented North Car-iina. Merrimon gave
place to Gov. Vane?, and Gen. Ransom is
still there. A. G. Thurman and John
Sherman represented O.io until Sherman
was called into Hayes’ cabinet. After
various changes Sherman is back there
again, while Thurman, after being a can
didate for vice-president, remains injprivate
life, and always will from choice. J. H.
Mitchell, republican, and J. H. Kelly,
democrat, represented Oregon. Kelly is
out of the Senate, and Mrchell was for a
long time a sort of a railroad lawyer about
Washington. He is now back again.
What a change in Pennsylvania’s repre
sentation in the Senate since those days!
Then, Simon Cameron was there as
tenacious of his party’s success os ever;
while William A. Wallace was as ardent
and unvarying in his support of the democ
racy. Cameron got tired of politics during
the dreary and monotonous Hayes adminis
tration, resigned, and put hi3 son Don in
his place. When Wallace’s term expired,
by a kick in the party which Mr. Blaine
counseled, John J. Mitchell got in, but did
not fill Wallace’s place. He gave place to
Quay. Poor old Gen. Burnside and H. B.
Anthony, who were there from Rhode Island,
are both dead. J. J. Patterton, who tried
to steal the state, and F. J. Robertson, also
a republican, were there from South Caro
lina. Patterson lives in Pennsylvania and
Robertson has fallen out of view entirely.
D. M. Key and Henry Cooper, democrats,
represented Tenmssee. Cooper was mur
dered, ami Judge Key, after making a fail
ure as Postmaster General under Mr.
Hayes, settled down in Tennessee as United
States judge. M. C. Hamilton, a repub
lican, was then Goo. 8. B. Maxey’s col
league from Texas. Hamilton, who was
never of much account, has given place to
the democrat, Coke, who is known as the
“Texas Steer.” George F. Edmunds and
J. 8. Morrill were senators from Vermont
then, as they are now, and will likely be as
long as they live.
It remains for Virginia to illustrate the
greatest change of all. Gen. R. E. Withers
and J. W. Johnson of the Senate of 1876-77
were succeeded by Gen. Mah one and H. H.
Riddleberger, who acted with the Repub
lican party. Mabone gave the Senate to
the republicans four years after Withers
aud Johnston wrote their names on the
register, from which I am drawing the
evidences of the wonderful changes that
have taken place in the highest legislative
branch of tne government. Barbour and
Daniels now speak for Virginia.
Henry G. Davis, who at the same time
represented West Virginia, has retired, and
is making his millions, while Samuel Price,
who was then his colleague, is dead. Kenna
and Faulkner sit in their places.
T. O. Howe, from Wisconsin, after being
Postmaster General, has been called to his
final account, and Angus Cameron, who
was with him in the Senate in 1876, has
quit politics for good.
Out of the sevontv-five senators who con
stituted the Senate of the United States
when Mr. Hayes was made President, arid
the Democratic party by that self-same in
justice was started on the road toward the
olection of Grover Clevolaud, only eleven
will now answer to the roll call. Sixty of
them have gone to tneir flual political rest.
The list from the south shows that recon
struction was made complete by the same
deal that pat Mr. Hayes into the presi
dency, and there are many who feel that,
dear os the price was, it was perhaps best
that it should have been paid. It is im
possible, without going over the names
carefully, as I here have done, to appreciate
what a great political revolution has been
going on since 1876.
Danced Forty Miles.
From the Buffalo Courier.
A young civil engineer who came home
to Buffalo last week after a four mouths’
expedition through the Black Hills with a
government surveying party, told the fol
lowing story:
One evening last summer we pitched
camp, and, after supper, the commanding
officer in tho party ordered me to make a
detour to a certain point farther north.
The distance by the road I was told to take
was believed to be about four miles, but to
get it exactly I was given a pedometer to
carry in 1113- pocket. On the way I came to
a small mining settlement, and a dance was
going on in tho biggest saloon. As X had
plenty of time on my hands I went in and
joined in the dance, and never rested a leg
until midnight. I then proceeded to finish
my detour, got back to camp, and turned
in. In the morning I was asked to report,
and without a thought I hauded over the
pedometer. The officer loosed at it in
amazement, and then exclaimed, ‘Forty
four miles! Where on earth did you go
last night?’ I was perplexsd at first myself,
and could not explain my' wonderful record,
and it was not until later that I recalled the
dauce, but I can’t believe that I danced
forty miles in a single evening.”
FOE DYSPEPSIA
Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.
Dr. Lorenzo Waits, Pittsfield, Mass.,
says: “From its use for a period of about
eight weeks, to the exclusion of all other
remedies, I attribute the restoration to
health of a patient who was emaciated to
the last degree, in consequence of nervous
prostration and dyspepsia. This patient’s
stomach was in such an irritable condition
that he could not bear either liquid or solid
food. All accomplished physician of many
years’ experience, whom 1 called in con
sultation, prouounced his case au incurable
one. At this stage I decided to use Hors
ford’s Acid Pho-phate, which resulted as
abovo mentioned.”
M3. CHILDS AND DOM PEDRO.
Bemtnisc 2 nee* of the Braz lion Mon
srea’j Visit to Philadelphia.
the Sets York World.
Mr. G "orge IV. Chilis, the well-known
proprietor of the Phfladeiph'A Ledger, was
oa terms of warm personal frieadsnip witn
Emperor Pedro, and in the course of bis
recollections, recently published in Lippin
cott t Magazine, give- the following brief
sketch of the man whom he describes as
that “modest monarch.” He says:
S “I arn reminded f the time when Dom
Pedr ~ gaz. gat the portrait of Longfel
low wnicn hangs in my iitjary, exclaimed:
' I at is your greet Amer.can p et. I
hare t~an*iated Lis work, into Portuguese,
inadeand known the bsautv of his verse
to all Bra zil
“This was in 1*76, when, during the
centennial exhibition, the empercr was
my gu-st, a:.d I natural! v arrange i for him
T*®* the various places of interest in
Philadelphia At my bouse I presented
bun to the late James L. Ciaghorn, Presi
dent of the Academy of Fine Arts, who
invited him to visit the academy, and on
his expressing a desire to go, inquires! what
hour would be most agreeable to his maj
esty. ‘Six o’clock,’ be said. It was a
favorite hour with him; but Mr.
Ciaghorn, not knowing this, was aghast.
However, promptly at the ap
pointed time he had the directors of the
academy on hand to greet the Emperor,
who exhibited an unfeigned and verv in
telligent interest in the art 're as urea of the
building. When introduced to Dr.
Ruschenberger, President of the Academy
of Natural Sciences, he surprised the doc
tor and those about him by saying, *1
know you as an author,' and he proceeded to
name tne books the doctor had written,
some of them b ung out of print. He ac
cented an invitation for the next day to
visit the ccal regions, and set again his
favorite hour of 6 o’clock as the time
to start. We went in Judge Packer’s
private car and visited various
coal-mines and iron- works, tne emperor’s
interest never flagging. He 6eemed to
understand all the details of manufacture
and paid particular attention to the Bes
semer and Siemens process of steel-making.
A curious incident happened while we were
at the Thomas Iron-Works. Mr. Thomas
( who introduced the process of making iron
with anthracite coal) came to me and said
that his granddaughter would like to be
presented to the emperor, as she had pre
viously met him in Egypt.
So we turned to his majesty,
and I had hardly named the young
lady, when ho exclaimed: ‘O, I met you at
the Pyramids and gave you my photo
graph, did I notl 1 We were fourteen hours
on that journey, returniug to Philadelphia
at 8 o’clock p. m. I was quite worn out
and went to bed. Rising early, I picked up
the Ledger, and about the first thing that
caught my eye was an account of the em
peror’s attendance the night before at a
meeting of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, where, it appeared,
ho had taken part in the discussions
of the evening. I mention all this
to show that one monarch in
the world, at least, is a mao of energy
and broadest intelligence and kindest sym
pathy. Ho seemed to know all about Prof.
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution,
when I made them acquainted, speaking of
his original and practical application of the
telegraph. The professor invited him to
visit Washington and the Smithsonian In
stitution, and he went. Again, when I in
troduced him to Joaquin Miller he instantly
spoke in praise of the Sierra Nevada poems.
Indeed, tbere was apparently nothing nota
ble in literature, art or science that had
not engaged his attention. In women’s
medical colleges he was much interested. I
broached the subject during our trip to the
coal regions, and he amazed me with the
breadth of his information, dwelling, as he
did, upon the labors of those women who
were sent out as missionaries.
“I cannot help but hold Dom Pedro in the
kindest remembranoo, and it is gratifying
to know that I have him as a loyal as well
as a royal friend. He presented me with a
large photograph likeness, bearing an
autograph inscription, and with a copy
of his book of traveb, in which he wrote
some kindly words. It is one of the pleas
ing methods he employs to show me
I am not forgotten, that I have been
honored with an early and welcome
visit from each new Brazilian minister to
the United States. And perhaps I may be
pardoned for quoting at this appropriate
place the following extract from a letter
which the Hon. Thomas A. Osborn, Amer
ican minister to Brazil, recently wrote to
a friend, describing his presentation to the
emperor: 'I have thought,’ he says, ‘that
you might not be uninterested in learning
that the emperor, in an informal conversa
tion which followed the presentation of my
letter of credence, inquired quite feelingly
after Mr. Qeorge W. Ci.ilds, and man
ifested a deep concern in his welfare. The
emperor spoke of the hospitalities extended
to him in Philadelphia, and was especially
warm in his expressions touching Mr.
Childs.’”
Mrs. Gadd—Oh, Mr. Shrill, stop a moment; I
want to speak to you; Have you been home
since morning?”
Mr. Shrill—No.
“Heard anything?”
“Why, no. What do you mean?”
“Oh,l can’t be the llrst to tell you of it; indeed
I can’t. The neighbors are sarin’ that your
wife and Mr. Hansom have eloped.”
“Well, well! It's his own fault. I
warned him to keep uway from her ” — New
York Weekly.
MEDICAL.
Catarrh
Is a constitutional and not a local
and therefore it cannot be cured by local ap
plications. It requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, working
through the blood, eradicates the impurity
which causes and promotes the disease, and
Catarrh
effects a permanent cure. Thousands of
people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla as a remedy for catarrh when other
preparations had failed. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
also builds up the whole system, and makes
you feel renewed in health and strength.
Catarrh
“For several years I have been troubled
With that terribly disagreeable disease, ca
tarrh. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla with the
very best results. It cured me of that contin
ual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up feel
ing. It has also helped my mother, who has
taken it for run down state of health and kid
ney trouble.” Mrs. S. D. Heath, Putnam, Ct.
