A REVOLUTION. THE BitAZ1LIAN GOVKl’.NMENT IN CONTROL OF THE ARMY. The following dispatch from Rio Ja neiro was received at New Y'ork Friday. “A revolution has broken out here. Bra zilian armies in control. The ministry has resigned. Minister shot. Attempt to establish republic.” Other dispatches from Rio Janeiro received at London concerning the revolutionary outbreak assert that a movement in favor of a re publican form of government has re cently been strongly fomented, and is the sole cause of the uprising. Up to the J present hour, however, there is little information of tangible character. The announcement is made in cipher cables already at hand that the Brazilian minis ters have tendered their resignations and flic situation is controlled by the army.

A CLEVER FORGERY. . A DRAFT FOR FOUR DOLLARS RAISED TO j ' FOUR THOUSAND. j A remarkably clever swindle has just ! come to .ligh-t at Chattanooga, Tetm. | Last July a well dressed stranger entered ' the First National bank in that city and purchased one draft, for $4 and two for $2 each, paying for tlie same. The bank is now notified that the $4 draft has turned up in New York as a $4,000 draft. It seems that the swindler went from there to Philadelphia, and purchased a spda fountain for $1,100, paying for the , same with the raised draft, and receiving $2,900 in exchange. The work is so well done that it can hardly be detected bv an expert. HE WAS REINSTATED. Rev. L. Barrow, a theological student in the U. S.
