rhe aueens Of Enrope.

An American lady. who was at stuttgardt
during the late meeting of the Emperors, thus
writes Of her own sex as represented iu the
Imperial party:
The Queen of Holl nd is a most cultivated
and elegant woman-still very handsome,
though She has grandson. She speaks Eug
lish perfectl., and is, perhaps, the most ac>
pIished woman in Europe. The Princess
Olga is said to be the bnndsomest woman in
Europe. The Empress of Russia is regal
looking woman. These ladies were dressed in
white moire antique silks; stripe of white
five or six iuches wide. and a stripe of the
same width covered with the richest flowers
here; and then in the wide stripe there was
an immense Lunch of flowers The dresses
were all something in the same style-chip
bonnets with white feathers and magnificent
lace mantles. 1 cannot forgive the Queen Of
Greece fer being fat, fair, round red
faced, jolly looking woman / expected to
see maid of Athens, and don't like to have
my romances dispeIled.

SLAVERY IN BRAZIL,

Thh n. o Delta las article this subject
from WHICH we make the following extract:
"Were. we called upon by pusiilanimous
biologist for slavery present the strongest posi-
lIe mguInen; in favor OF that institution Gle
rpent Of prosperity and means of rapid national
cIeve!opr,ent we would unhesitntinsly point to
Erazil. That empire, during an Independent exist
enCc oEbat little more than tn -'y years, has been
lnking giant strides toward calth and prosperity,
aid il is no exaggeratou to say that in the race of
Improvement, Brazil has kepG pace with the United
States. Cut off from the commerce OF the world by
the selfish japanese policy of the mother country
she was, at the beginning of the present century,
afeeLe colonial possession, and desert waste on
lie surface of the globe She finally severed in 1925
lie bond which connected her with Portugal and
aFsumed the rank of aa Independent nation. Order
II constitutional government was establ shed under
a:wise and liberal prince and the empire be-
gan to flourish and blossom as the rose The I'M
rorta1ion of blacks from the coast Africa commen
ctd under the Portuguese rule was continued on
- most extensive SCALE The Fcofee plant, intro
ICED early in the centurr, became, thanks 10
IL surScssFul guilty by the African, the staple
ofthe empire, and the basis ofits wealth. Coffee
and slavery are just as indissoluby connected in
in Brasil as cotton and slavery in the South. In
order TO prove thai our picture of the prosperity
Of Brazil is not overdrawn, We will state that she
exported in 1850 more than two millions OF bags of
coffee, and the total value other exports and i'm
ports in that year was SlOOOooOoo. Such are the
results oihe successful establishment of this much
reviled institution in region which, but for it
would have remained bowling wilderness TO the
eud ofItime.
"Ths slave population of Brazil cannot be 7ery
correctly estimated, as no census has ever been
taken Of that empire. We will not be far from the
mark however, in calculating the number ofsiaves

The Boy Husband.

Ten months ago Don Juan of but seven
teen au:nmns came to ST. Louis from Musca-
zine, Iowa, and became enanored of a nice
young lady, the cheri he'd daughter of high
ly respected parents, living on Fifteenth street,
between Wash and: Carr streo's; briefly he
won her, and they we're married. The months
flew swiftly and happily till few days since,
when the fond strip3rg's Pa arrived from Mus
catine. The kind parent tenderly assured his
son that he had probably many years yet to
live, and ought wisely TO prepare for long
and prosperous life. To this end he conceived
that the period OF preparation for the lifelong
battle forcompeteney and independence should
not be wasted in domestic cndearmeuts, and
he therefore felt it his duty to use his paren.
tai authority in insisting tba. bis son should
return TO his native town, leaving for few
years his chosen, TO learn trade! The
youth demonstrated, but his sire was inexora:
ble. He has therefore gone home to become
a man, process which, if We mistake not,
will be completed in an uup.ecedentedly short
period of time.-St. Louis Democrat.

full and vehement it descends into the vale of life,
where, after short time, becoming tranquil and
serene it separates into many branches and these,
again dividing, wander in thousand streams. dis
pensing, as they move along, the sweets of health
and happiness.

"FinaIIy, whatever may be our thoughts,

it fear> no danger, spares no expense, omits
no exertion. 1t scales the mountain, looks
into the volcano, dives into the ocean, perfn-
rates the earth, wings its flight into the skies
