l find that in many instances to-
bacco dealers saw or cut their pack
ages into two parts, leaving but one
half of the proper stamp on each
half box. Tins cannot be allowed,
when it is borne i'm mind that each
package is required to have on it the
stamp, and to have imprinted or
marked thereon, the manufacturers
name and place of manufacture, or
the proprietor's name and his trade
mark, and the registered number of
the mandatory, the gross weight,
the tare, and the net weight Of tobac-
CO in each package. And also upon
every package of tobacco or snuff,
whether put up in wooden packages
or otherwise, the law requires that
there shall be printed, or securely
fixed by pasticg thereupon a label,
the proprietor's or manufacturers
name, the number of the manufacto-
ry, and the district and State in

the following notice: 5..r
Notice.-The manufacturer of this
tobasco has complied with all the re-
quirements of law; every person is
cautioned, under penalties Of law. not

From this it will be seen that no

box PEDRO, Emperor of Brazil con-
templates making a tour, at an early
day, through the United States. His
Majesty is one of the most enlightened
monarchs of the present day, and
since his accessionsto the throne in
1911, Brazil has steadily advanced in
all the departments of art, science and
industry. He is an \ illustration of
what new life nay be infused into a
royal line by transportation. Els
feeble progenitor John vi. of Portugal
frightened from his throne by NAPo-
LEON l., fled to Brazil and established
there an empire, the principal success
and progress of which are mainly due
10 the merits of PEDRO ii. He is re-
lated by marriage to the French
BoURBoNs, and is brother-in-law of
the Prince de JoINvII LIE. The people
of the United States will cordially
welcome monarch whose reign has
been so little disfigured by the cruel
ties of war and so eminently marked
by all that could contribute to The well
fare and prosperity of his subjects.

Great Earthquake i'm China.

Minister Lowe furnishes the State
Department at Washington with a
brief account ola series of earthquake
es which prevailed for several days
at Bathang, in the province of
Sczhuen, China. About the last of
April there was a sudden and unac-
countable rise of waters in the dis
trict of Bathang, which contipued I'M
til the IIth, when the country for
nearly four hundred phles around
was convulsed by eapSquakes. The
shocks were very <ere, and cOntin-
ucd, with intern(sHons, for ten days,
when they became less frequent, and
finally ceased. The scenes which
ensued were horrible beyond des-
cription. During this time the earth
rocked and reeled like ship at sea
in q violent storm. Eight temples
were thrown down, 2,42l dwellings
were destroyed, and 2,29S persons
crushed by the falling walls. To
add to these accumulated horrors
flames broke out among the ruins in
Bathang and ragged with uncontrolla-
BILE fury during five days, consuming
everything within their reach, and
destroying the lives of hundreds who
were lying wounded and helpless
among the ruins of their homes.
Steep hills sunk out of sight, and in
their places naught is seen but yawn-
ing CULTS, while in other places the
earth uphcaved leaving hills many
feet in height. Many singular pheno-
mena attended this earthquake, the
full particulars of which will be anX-
iously watched for.

The Fastest Train in the World.

The new express train from Ply
mouth to London will probably be
the fastest train in the world, in the
part of its journey which lies over
the Bristol and Exeter and Great
Western Railways. Leaving Exeter
at 10 30, it is timed to reach Padding
ton at 2 As /; including stoppage of
five minutes at Bristol, and the in
evitable and vexatious ten minutes
at Swindon, the journey of 1874 miles
will occupy four hours and a quarter.
The Irish mail, hitherto considered
the fastest train, occupies six hours
and thirty-five minutes between Lon.
don and Holyhead, being at the pace
of only 10 miles in four hours and a
quarter. The fastest train on the
Great Northern line is between Lon.
don and Peterborough, 76, miles,
which is done in one hour and thirty.
seven minutes; bu: the Great Wes-
tern accelerated express will run
from Swindon to London, n miles,
in one hour and twenty-seven min.
utes. The IL 40 train from Padding
ton will perform the journey to Ply.
mouth in only five minutes more
time than the new up express.

The LEEwARD IsLANDs.-A bill
has been introduced In the British
Parliament for the confederation of
the Leeward Islands, consisting of
Dominica, Montserrat Antigua, st.
Christopher, Nevis, Anguilla and the
Virgin group. By the letters patent
issued from the British Crown in
1889 separate Legislatures were es-
tablished in each of these islands,
together with a general legislature,
but the latter body only met six
times, the last time having been in
1898. Prior to 1866 each island had
two legislative houses, one nomina-
ted by the Governor and the other
elected, but this system was cum
brous, and a single house was adop-
ted. Under the new plan the Gen.
eral Legislature is to consist Oftwen-
ty members, of whom ten will be
elected by the separate Legislatures,
three will be ex-ofiicio members, and
the President and six others will be
nominated by the Crown. Each Is
land will have one nominated mem
! Der and the ten elected members will
be apportioned according to wealth
and population. The Legislature is
to have the power to deaf with the
currency, mercantile and criminal law
and the postal service.

ANOTHER link in the "girdle round
the EARTH" has just been complete by
the laying Of the cable from Linga-
pore to Hong Kong, and now London,
New York and San Francisco are in
daily communication with China,
The time is rapidly approaching when
the globe must be encircled with a
Geographic wire, and Notwithstanding
there is a great gap to be filled, be-
tween China and our Pacific coast, yet
it must and will soon be overcome.
Let no part of the great chain be left
open, but speedily finished by putting
California in communication with
China and Japan, via the Sanwich

complished.

GIN. JOE HOOKER thinks Grant
could not carry half dozen States.
He says: 'It is my absolute conviction
that were you &c walk the length o
Broadway you could not meet a man
less qualified for the Presidency than
Grant. We of the army know him
better than the people at large.
When his Adjutant General Ra Wins
was alive, the President seemed to
bc efficient and successful; but when
Rawlins died Grants bottom fell out.
