Brazil’s method of procedure in time
°f war, the New York Sun describes as
terse, but very much to the point. Whet
the revolt broke out among the troops at
Rio Janeiro nnd the news was telephoned
to the Minister of War, with a request
for instructions, he replied: “Shoot
them down!” And down they came.
The doctors who attended the late
King of Portugal during the last few
weeks of his illness presented bills for
their services amounting to nearly SIOO,-
000. One of them demanded $14,00!)
for ten visits, another demanded $17,00t
for fifteen, while a third thought that
$30,000 was not too much to ask for his
attendance at eighteen consultations.
Eventually the new King succeeded in
effecting a settlement by means of a lump
sum of $60,000. Of course, says thf
Medical Record , this was polite robbery.
In too many cases such estates are robbed.
It seems to make no difference whether
the patient is killed or robbed, the bill
for services is too often made out accord
ing to the size of the sick man's estate
The remarkable aeries of Alpine disas
tera in 1888 were evidently taken t<
heart by mountain climbers, for, accord
ing to the New York Sun, the past sea
son has been almost without tragedies
above the snow line. Thousands whe
lest summer scrambled up and down t
hundred slopes in Switzerland all re
turned home unscathed, though a few o
them had some ugly tumbles which wil
teach them to observe greater cautioi
when they next appear on the Alpim
snow fields. The season would have
been entirely devoid of exciting inci
dents if two or three fatal accidents had
not occurred in the Bavarian and Aus
trian Alps. There were also some hair
breadth escapes, as, for instance, that ol
the North German tourist, who, with his
guide, tumbled head over heels down a
mountain side a distance of 5415 feet,
and still lives to tell the talo. A story
ike that will entertain his grandchildren
fully as much as though he had con
quered the Matterhorn.
According to the Boston Herald, “the
common school teacher finds perfectly
healthy children arc a rarity. Seldom
will ten per cent, of her class of fifty be
found free from any physical defect
whatever and with true development for
their age. Of these it must be regret
fully admitted that the smallest number
are Americans. The best formed school
children and the healthiest are the Ger
mans and the Bohemians, the next of
Irish parentage. Nowhere, as in the
south and west of Ireland, where the
children run free of care the year round,
batless, shoeless, living on the coarsest,
plainest food, and yet with some measure
of school restrictions, can such specimens
of perfect physical beauty in form- and
face be found. Glance over any Bchool
room, with its many upturned faces in
quisitively questioning the thought of
the observer, and but few really fine
featured children are to be found after
the age of ten is passed."
* ‘lt is an ill wind that blows no one
good.” This the New Yo'k Time•*
thinks, may be applicable to the acquisi
tion of so many American cheese facto
ries by English capitalists. “The
English people are large consumers of
cheese and good judges of it. It is com
mon knowledge in England that out
cheese is of a very poor quality, and that
with the right management it may b<
made of as good quality as tho best in
the world. It may be that this knowl
edge has led to the purchase of so many
of our cheese factories by Englishmen.
This may be turned to our advantage.
The purchases will let loose a large capi
tal which will doubtless seek investment
in the same business elsewhere, undei
better management, and with the resull
of a great improvement in the quality
and a large increase of the product. It
is humiliating to an American to admit
this and to owe the restoration of our
cheese manufacture to foreigners whose
better business habits and greater hon
esty will reform this branch of the dairy
industry. But it i.s probable that good
may come out of what every patriotic
citizen might regret with the best of
reasons.”

In the senate, on Wednesday, Mr.
Chandler, of New Hampshire, presented
a petition from Union county, Arkansas,
representing that at the state election
i-ire in September, 1888, a systematic
icign of terror prevailed; that armed and
reckless mobs paraded the county, night
and day, terrorizing the wh tesandshoot
ng and whipping the colored voters;
tlmt schools and churches had been de
moralized, and ballot boxes carried off,
and asking for the protection guaranteed
by the constitution. This peiition (with
several others from Arkansas ( n the same
subject; was referred to the committee
on privileges and elections... .Mr. Call,
of Florida, offered a resolution, in rela
tion to lands claimed by the Florida Cen
tral nnd Peninsula Railroad company, be
tween Waldo and Tampa, directing the
attorney-general to institute proceedings
to prevent any further sales of such laud
until action be taken by congress.... Busi
ness on calendar was then taken up and
twenty-six pension and private bills
passed. The Blair educational bill was
then taken up as unfinished business.
After a brief executive session,the senate,
At 4 ;45, adjourned.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal in the house, on Wednesday, Mr.
Rowell, of Illinois, called up the contested
election case of Atkinson vs. Pendleton
from the first district of West Virginia.
The ease of the contestant was champ
ioned by Mr. Rowell, and Mr. Pendleton’s
claims were maintained by Mr. O’Ferrall,
of Virginia. Mr. Rowell was seconded
by Mr. Lacfey, of lowa, and Mr. O’Ferrall
by Mr. Wilson, of Missouri. All the

tne evidence, and were dry and uninter
esting. Pending this debate the house
adjourned.

NOTES.
The Maryland congressional re-district
ing bill, which makes five of the six dis

Richard G. Banks collector of customs
for the district of Norfolk and Ports
mouth, Va.; Edward W. Matteson, Sur

There is a great scramble being made
by various companies all over the country
to secure the control of the seal fur fishe
ries in the Behring sea. The government
has opened the bids for the control of
these fisheries for the next twenty years.
It allows 60,000 seals to be killed annu
ally. The Alaska Seal Fur company has
controlled it for twenty years past. They
are among the score of bidders this time.
Their profits for twenty years have been
999 per cent annually, consequently the
great scramble and large number of
bidders.
The direct laud tax bill, which recent
ly passed the senate, was on Tuesday re
ported favorably to the house by the ju
diciary committee. However, Colonel
Oates, of Alabama, in the name of the
democrats of the committee, is preparing
a minority report, which will hold that
if the direct tax is refunded, tho cotton
tax should be likewise refunded. The
direct tax carries with it seventeen million
dollars, while the cotton tax carries sev
enty million dollars. The majority of the
refund of the direct tax bill, however,
goes north, while the cotton tax money
goes to the cotton growing state*. The
direct tax bill will certa'nly pass, but
there seems no chance for the cotton tax
amendment going through. Georgia will
get SIOB,OOO from the direct tax bill. It
is the money that she paid*to the govern
ment as a tax on her lands during and
after the war.

trade, and an examination has been
made into the cause of the seeming
epidemic of failures. The work was
placed in the hands of a mercantile agen
cy, and it was found that the Farmers’
Alliance was at the bottom of the trouble.
The alliance has adopted the co-operative
store plan, and their trade, together
with that of such outside custom as
they can influence, is thrown to the al

painfully felt by the regular retail traders.
Asa consequence many small dealers
have been forced to the wall and com

until a year ago when I saw your adver
tisement of Acker’s English Remedy for
consumption and procured a bottle, as
the tickling In her throat was unremit
ting and so irritating as to make talking
imnracticable. She was so much re
lieved that another bottle was procured
and we now buy by the case, she never
being without it. She has no physician
and takes no other medicines. She re
marked lately that if she had not pro
cured it when she did she would be dead.
W r e have recommended it to others, who
always receive benefit from it. If any
one desiring farther particulars will ad
dress me with a stamp I will answer
with pleasure, as I deem It the best

MERIT WINS.
We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling Dr. Ki ng’s
New Discovery for consumption, Dr.
King’s New Life Pit’s, Bucklen’s \rnica
Salve and Electric Bitters, and have
never handled remedies that sell as well,
or that have given such universal satis
faction. We do not hesitate to guaran
tee them every time, and we stand i eady
to refund the purchase price, if satis
factory results do not follow their use.
These remedies have won their great
popularity purely on their merits. J.
