OUR FRAIL SISTERS.
The condition of affairs in the re
publics lo the south of us is «
source of sine ere regret to the fi iends .
of freedom, of stable government and
of republican institutions. Current
events almost verify the philosophy
of history which seems to teach that
no people is capable of self govern
ment, save those of Anglo-Saxon
descent. On the one hand, the in
ti igue and moodieval ferocity which
is exhibited; on the other,the intoler
auceoftbe principle of majority rule
which a* the first serious difference
lends lo forcible resistance, indicate
that the most nidimentary lessons ol
gulf government have yet to be
learned by the republics of Central
and South America.
The story from San Salvador reads
like a chapter from the biography of
the Medium. President Menendez
is celebrating his accession to power.
A grand ball is in progress. Ezeta, 1
a favorite general, by special permis
sion, is present with fix hundred of
his men, to do honor to the occasion.
Whilst the festivities are at their
height, the president is assassinated
by the emissaries of the treacherous
general, and the scene of gayety is
transformed into one of terror and 01
bl HHlshed. The general seizes the
government, proclaiming himself
provisional president. Faction i*
aroused at home; Guatemala, with
110 just cause for interference, sends
an army to invade her neighbor; war
i i declared, and bloody battles are
fought, anil the peaie of the whole ol
Central America is threatened.
When a few month's ago, an cm
pi>e fell in Brazil, without striking a
blow, 'he 1 evolution was hailed in
the United States as a triumph of
republicanism. But it now trans
pires that the ease will) which this
change of government was uccom
p.'mhed may prove to be a dangerous
object b sson to the people of that
country. No pei manent constitution
has since been adopted,yet the people
of that country are standing upon
a volcano of smouldering political
llres, which is likely to burst forth
in revolution any day.
Ju the Argentine Republic, there
was no question of revolt against
arbitrary power, yet within the past
lew days, the streets of Buenos Ayres
have run red with the blood of her
citizens. This, the most progressive
of all of the South American repub
lics, claimed even to be a rival to the
United States. Iler government was
appirently stab'e, her population
’ was increasing al an em rmous rate,
and enterprise and wealth abounded
on every hand. But the government
had involved itself in financial dill!
j cullies in its dibi ts lo force the pros
. pyrity of the country. A deficit was
> encountered, ucrisis wus at hand, and
instead of attemptin'' to solve its
, difficulties according to the methoils
■ of enlightened statesmanship, the
flag of revolution is raised, and a
fatal blow is struck at the very
foundation of the government.
There is room for the schoolmaster
in these countries. The only hope
1 for them is in an elevation of the
standard of intelligence to the point
1 of appreciation of the blessings ot
' permanent republican institutions,
3 and without which the semblance of
1 liberty is but an idle form.

The advances of science, in the
department of surgery, is shown by
. the success of an operation which
has recently been performed upon a
child by a surgeon in Paris. The
little one bad been imbecile from
birth, yet concluding that this con
dition was produced by pressure
! upon the brain, the surgeon sue
cecded in removing a portion of the
skull, and in a few days the child
could not only walk for the first
time, but speedily became of ordin
I ary brightness and intelligence.
l'he possibilities of science may yet
render it practicable, “to minister
. to a mind diseased’’ not less readily
than to “the ills to which llesh is
, heir.”
The fearful despots of Europe refuse
to permit an invasion of their realms
by our Washington militia company,
wbic bad requested such permission.
Pe' haps our bold militia might meet
with greater hospitality, should they
conclude to extend their travels to
Gautemala or San Salvador. Not
only would victory perch upon the
banner of that country whose cause
our militia might espouse, but each
survivor might, with reason, expect
to be promoted to the otlive of Gener

MEEP.CATS AS PETS.
They Are Very C:i»ntn~. but Arc Tc:r:b!.,
Liable to Coosonipt lon.
Old travelers are often tuked to n;;r-,
gest tin outlandish pet. as we can testi
fy. fait the demand is not v.-wily an
swared. Doubtless mccrcats are the
best all round, but they have their
faults, mid besides they are terribly
liable to consumption. Ourdamp win

are very trying to animals that live m>

The seem s of its Illness and death from
inllamm.ition of the lungs are pathetic
to the degree which 'only those- who
have kept meereats could credit. At
the tint sign of indisposition we sent its'
sueees. <>rs to the Regent's park, and
the authorities were overjoyed to re
ceive them, sixteen years ago the first
male they ever had and the third fc
male. It may comfort some of those
who cherish these pets to learn that, the
former must have been 9 years old
when it died and the latter 12; they
may have- been much older.
It is not worth while to describe ani
mals so easily observed at this day. In
brief, the mecrcat resembles a. chubby
weasel, nine ro ten inches in length,
the tail included, with gray, broken
fur. muzzle, mid ears of black velvet,
the loveliest of eyes and the silkiest of
lashes, a small, unceasing, cooing cry
most restful to hear, an I endless pretty
ways. To behold one of them sitting
upright by the hearth, with pendant
paws, as its manner is, watching every Ii
movement in the room—or even outside
the window—changing its note contin 1
uully, as fancies pass through its shrewd
} little brain, delights the dullest soul
’ It has an extraordinary range of voice,

the charm of this pet. Upon the other

Those pretty teeth are sharp as

The Chair Took a Notion to Stroll.
The action of a chair which formed
.; part of a display of furniture on a cor
! tier in one of the important cross town
streets caused no little wonderment
I I one windy afternoon not long ago. The
J pavement in front of the store is
smooth, and slopes to the gutter at a
Considerable angle. This chair, which
had a solid back, stood right on the
corner, and the wind, blowing squarely
against it. caused it to slide gently to
ward the gutter. The wind blew stead
ily, with just sufficient strength to move
tlie chair at a slow pace.
The (tersotis who happened to lie
looking out x>f neighboring windows or
of pu.«sing street ears or carriages, and
therefore did not feel the wind, could
not imagine what had come over the
eliair, that it should thus gravely and
, sedately leave its fellows.
Even those who were on the sidewalk,
for the most |>urt, never thought tliat
the wind could be the cause of the phe
nomenon. A |xilieemau across the way
inudo up his mind tiiat some thief hail
tied a thin wire to the chair, and was
drugging it where Ue could put it into a
wagon and drive off with it. The offi
cer started toward the eliair, and just
then u clerk who had liappened to see
tlie rule way Jiu-hed out of the furniture
