THE UNITED STATES AND BRAZIL.
We have published such accounts as we have
found in the ewspapcrs, Of the late transaction
at Rio Janeiro. which ended in our Representa-
tive to that Government demanding his pass
ports 10 return home These accounts estab-
lish the fac, certainly that there has been con-
siderable irritation manifested on both sides in
reference to the particular case which caused
the rupture. II will readily occur TO the reader,
however, that there are TWO sides TO this mat
ter, and that the Government of Rio Janeiro
may not be exclusively in fault in reference to
it, At least, we do not feel disposed to make
I'D an opinion upon it without deliberate exa-
minaton; and, even upon the representation OF
il made through our prints, by the parties in
terested, and granting the conduct OF the Bra
lillian authorities 10 have been as stated, we
are not certain that the course pursued by
MIR. Racquet was altogether that which the
occasion called for. Perhaps it would have
been better that he should have reported the
facts TO his Government, and waited for in
structions as to his ultimate proceeding We
do not recollect that our Ministers either to
Great Britain or to France, when the rnjnstif-
able Orders in Council and Imperia! DEGREES
were sweeping the ocean of our CONNER e, ever
took upon themselves 10 terminate the inter.
course between the two countries.
The conduct Of Mr. Racquet was spirited,
doubles S, and well mentioned But, withou,
impeaching his discretion, much less his mo-
tive, we require further Information to enable
US to decide whether, under all the circumstan-
ces, it was the only course left to him, or even
the bes, course.

ST. HELEN A.

From the ST. Helena Calender, for which we
are indebted to General Walker, the Governor
of tina. Island, we gather some facts concerning
this "half-way- house" Of the ocean, which are
new to US, and probably so to many of our read
ers. The Island contains six schools, a post
Office, printing Office, and eleven societies and
institutions, for humane and other purposes, ex
elusive Of ,he civil and military establishments.
The schools are under the superintendent Of
an officer appointed by the "Hon. Company"
The Post.ofhce is an important department, be-
ing the great centre Of transi, Cor letters to and
from the East Indies, the Cape of Good Hope
the Pacific ocean and Great Britain. Among
the societies are the ST. Helena Missionary So
ciety-the Savings Bank-the Benefit Society
the ST. H. Library, SC. SC. The island was
discovered by the Portuguese on the festival of
ST. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great,
in 1902, but they abandoned it 10 the Dutch,
who colonized it in l645, and in turn deserted
it, when the English East India Company took
possession Of it in 1851.
From the list Of arrivals and departures Of
vessels for 1926, there appears TO have been, of
English men Of war, 2; lndlamen, 81; Trans
ports, 5; English-merchant ships, l25; VIVA

clearing away the rigging, the vessel righted,
and lay at the mercy oi the winds and waves,
the gale continuing for number Of days and
the sea breaking over her. In this dilemma,
half barrel Of flour and some rum was saved
from the cabin and dashed to the windlass, be-
ing the only place where il was possible to re-
