A South American State.

The population of Chill is over two
millions. The navy has a dispropor-
tionately large share of officers, but
these are kept in reserve for that curl
GUS state of war which exists between
Spain and Chilli, by which both agreed
to maintain a truce, and give three
years notice before resuming HOSTILE
ties. The business of education is
gradually growing in Importance, and
1, 100 schools gave instruction to 50, 1852
scholars. The growth of railroads and
the proportional advance in trades and
industry furnish the material for the re-
port of the Minister of the Interior,
who also gives a very full account of
the National Exposition in Santiago,
and the memoir prepared by Don Eu-
genio Hostos, on Chill, its climate,
character, institutions, civilization, its
prospects for the future, its advantages
for emigrants, and the results of the
Exhibition, as showing the progress
made in agriculture, mechanical and
other arts and industries. The British
Consul at Coquimbo reports that there
is in Chill, at Guayacan, copper
smelling establishment said to be the
largest in the world. 1t employs about
300 hands, of whom from 40 to 80 are
Welshmen, and produces annually from
5000 to 10000 tons of copper, destined
almost exclusively for the English
market. The fuel used is principally
Chilian coal, with a small amount OF
English coal. The little Guayacan col
ony of workmen from this country,
nearly all from Wales, comprises from
80 to 100 persons of all ages. They are
lodged in excellent houses and rn" s!+
from 12L. to 3nL per month, according
to their skill, with coal, water, medi.
cines, and medical attendance gratis.
The climates exceedingly dry, but mild,
eouable, and healthy. The most preva
lent form of disease is low fever of the
typhoid type, which frequently pros
trates new corners, but is seldom fatal
and generally is not repeated. The rain.
fall in 1872 is said to have been under
two inches, and the fall of snow in the
Cordillera was insignificant. Mules
the ordinary means of carriage, could
not be supplied with food, and mines
we're suspended or reduced.

Swan Hunting.

Forest and Stream says that the
swans, early in September, leave the
shores of the Polar sea and resort to
lakes and rivers in and about Hudson
bay, where they remain until October.
Then they collect in focks of fifteen or
twenty, and mounting high in air, in a
wedge shape, depart with loud screams
for a more genial southern climate
They fly with great rapidity, at the es-
timated rate of one hundred miles in
the hour, which is about double that of
the goose. They do not, like the geese,
follow the line of the sea-coast, but hy
far inland, reaching their feeding
grounds at night and the first signal
of their arrival is given the next morn
ing by universal clamor. They seem
to be greeting each other with their
musical notes after their completed
journey. When settled on their feed
grounds, they do not forsake them
unless driven away by very severe
weather.
In the Chesapeake the wild swans col
lect in large focks of hundreds, feeding
over extensive flats on the duck grass,
worms, insects, and shell-fsh. They
are found from the mouth of the Chesa.
peake to the Capes of Virginia but dc
not pass southwark to Hatteras inlet.
We have seen few focks of them in the
bays of Jersey but have never met
with themin the waters of Long Island
They feed with the geese but do not fly
with them. When crippled and caught
they are easily tanned and we have had
them at the South, in our barnyards
stalking majestically among the tanned
wild geese and other domestic fowl.

A COrOner's Court in China.
A New Way to ms,s Out Justice.

A New Way TO Mete Ont Justice.
A correspondent gives the following
account of a recent scene in a Chinese
Court. The case was one of homicide
of Chinese coolie by British subject,
and Cinnamon generally were greatly
exercised over it, besieging their lord
and master, the Magistrate of the city,
in his Office, in crowds, and bawling for
vengeance for days together. 1t APP
pears that the accused was wrangling
with six coolies about the amount of
wages due to them, when he lost his
temper, and went for his gun to brighten
them off. This he succeeded in doing,
but not until after he had fred both
barrels and blown off the head of one
of them, and for this he has been
sentenced to two years Imprisonment.
The preliminary inquest was held by
Chinese Coroner, conducted on Chinese
legal principles. The witnesses who
gave evidence were four of the coolies
present when the man was shot, about
twenty relatives of the deceased, who
were none of them within miles of the
spot when the crime occurred, but who
unanimously testified that the case was
one of willful murder, and about 500
friends from the deceased's native vii
lage, who kept on ''testifying" at the
pitch of their voices to the virtues of
the deceased, and to the foulness of the
crime. The four coolies all spoke at
once when they were asked by the Coro.
ner the usual string of questions, ut
terly foreign to the point at issue, which
Chinese officials put on such occasions,
and their answers were accompanied
with chorus of wailing by the twenty
relatives, and of maledictions by the
500 friends. The hubbub was fearful
and the Coroner soon thought he had
had enough of it, so ordering the dead
body to be sealed up in its coffin, anG
taken away for burial, he began tC
make for his chair without giving any
verdict. Neither relatives nor friends
would hear of this, so they kicked the
coffin over, pulled down the mat-shed
that was doing duty for a courthouse,
and began to hustle the Coroner and
his people. His sedan chair was banged
against q wall and kept there, and
while he was covering with terror in
side, free fight ensued between his
retainers and the deceased's relatives
and friends, in which few enterprising
foreigners, who were only too happy tc
espouse the cause of law and order by
punching somebody's head, joined. The
aged mother and sisters, who were in
the fore front of the battle, Jared badly
as the scattered chignons and bach
hair plentifully scattered on the road
betokened, and few of the more
prominent friends noses bled, but nc
great harm was done in the scuffie. A
sudden rush by the chair bearers, ar
extra hard knock or two to the noisies
relative, and the Coroner's chair wal
clear of the crowd. Next day, when HI
had sufficiently recovered from his ter
ror, he gave a verdict of willful murder
against the man.

CuriOsities of the Cold,

Every generation has it's unexampled
experiences. betokening that the wea-
ther in particular and things in general
are out of joint. The Strait of OAR
danelles and the Black Sea were en-
tirely frozen over in 642, while the
snow in some places drifted to the
depth of ninety feet, and the upheaped
ice broke down the walls of cities and
the battlements of towers. In $50 the
Adriatic was entirely frozen over in
1907 most of the travellers in Germany
were frozen to death on the roads: in
1888 the Pc was from Cremona to the
sea, snowdrifts made the roads every
where impossible, wine casks burst.
and forest trees split by the frost with
astounding noise ; in 1880 a fine forest
near Ravenna was killed by the frost ;
in 1896 the Cattegat was frozen between
Norway and Jutland; in 1882 the
houses in Austria were buried in snow
in 1899 the Rhine was frozen in 1914
all the rivers in Italy were frozen in
1884 tho Rhine, Scheldt, and Adriatic
were frozen; in 1857 the wines in Elan.

Great and Little Belt were frozen in

split with the frost in 1892 the starved
wolves entered Vienna, and boldly at

George Eliot;s Sayings.

Faithfulness and consistency mean
something else besides doing what is
easiest and pleasantest to ourselves.
They mean renouncing whatever is OPP
posed to the reliance others have in us
whatever would cause misery to those
whom the course of our lives has made
dependent on us.
1 couldn't live in peace if l put the
shadow of willful sin between myself
and God.
1 desire no future that will break the
ties of the past.
If the past is not to bind us, where
can duty lie? We should have no law
but the inclination OF the moment.
You must remember it isn't only lay
ing hold of a rope-you must go on
pulling. It's the mistake you lads
make that have got nothing either in
your brains or your pocket to think
you've got better start in the world
if you stick yourselves in place where
you can easily keep your coats clean,
and have the shop wenches take you
for fine gentlemen. That wasn't the
way started, young man. When
was sixteen my jacket smelled of tar,
and wasn't afraid of handling cheeses.
That's the reason can wear good
broadcloth now, and have my legs un,
der the same table with the heads of the
best firms in st. Ogg's.
If / got places, Sir, it was because
made myself fit for 'em. If you wan
to slip into a round hole, you mus
make ball of yourself-that's where il
is. -.. ,
You'll have to begin at low round o.
the ladder, let me tell you, if you
mean to get on in life.
You youngsters nowadays thinl
you're to begin with living well ant
working easy /; you've no notion of run
ming afoot before you get on horse
back,

Benefits of CO.OneratiOn.

We are asked what can farmers ac-
complish by cooperation ? We answer
that they can, as organized clubs, as-
certain what implements each member
needs, and can afford to send to the
manufacturer and buy them at first
cost, saving the heavy percentage now
paid to middlemen. They can, by a
moderate monthly contribution, soon
raise the means to build shop fer
stocking plows, repairing wagons, and,
ultimately, for the manufacture of the
implements they need. They can
manage their district schools and roads,
procure the best works on agriculture,
establish libraries, improve their minds
as we'll as their lands, and make their
influence felt in Legislative halls, and
become the controlling power in politics
and commerce. With majority of
votes and enlightened views of free
government and their own right under
it, what is to hinder them from becom-
inc the powor Niu tho Land, provided
bley act In concert, as the various rings
which Cypress them. Are not these
aims high enough to stimulate their
ambition and nerve them with resolution
to attain them? Have they not been
the worlds drudges long enough to have
learned their wrongs and the means of
redress ? If they prefer to prolong
their servitude, they are in fair way
to realize that wish if they do not it is
time they were taking active steps to
enforce their rights and establish their
independence. To do this without
unity of purpose and concert of action,
is simply impossible.

Kanaka Simplicity and Hospitality.

A letter writer in Honolulu says -
SIN travelling about these islands the
observer is struck with the simplicity
and generosity of the Hawaiian people.
1t seems pity that such race should
perish. A man may journey from one
end of the archipelago to the other, in
open day or the midnight darkness, and
he is as secure as if he were in his own
house. A foreigner never thinks of
carrying firearms, for there is no one to
modest him. He never goes hungry,
for whatever the Hawaiian has, whether
POI, taro, or fish, is shared with the
stranger. When they were wealthy
and powerful people, when almost every
foot of land was cultivated, and there
were from 100000 to 100000 inhabi-
tants, they killed fat hogs for their
guests; but those halcyon days are
nearly passed, because in nine cases out
of ten they are now too poor to afford
that luxury. But the aloha Glove to you)
is as hearty as ever. And hearing this
aloha and seeing the miserable sur
rUunuings are CONTRASTS indeed. The
surroundings, generally speaking, are
poverty stricken in the extreme. The
majority of those who meet you and
greet you are but the wrecks of a peo-
pie healthy and powerful in their bar
barrie state, but diseased and helpless
in the civilization brought to their
doors. But even to this day, like an
oasis in the desert, there are now and

is untainted with the terrible poison
which has nearly decimated the
Hawaiian people. This is especially
true of the chiefs and chiefesses, some
of whom are splendid specimens in
physique, princely looking men and
queenly looking women.

Hack, Hack! Cough, Cough (!

Cough is a symptom by which various
diseased conditions of the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But
whether it arises from the irritation produced
in the throat and larynx by taking cold, from
an attack of Bronchitis, from incpent Con-
sumption, or from various other causes, moth
ing will allay it more speedily nor cure it more
permanently than DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t does not matter whether it be a
recent attack, or lingering cough, the Dis
covery is in either case equally well adapted
for its relief and permanent cure. In fact
it will cure cough in one-half the time neces-
sary to cure it with any other medicine, and it
does it, not by drying it up but by removing
the cause, subduing the irritation, and healing
the affected parts. No time should be lost in
commencing the use of a proper medicine for
the relief Of Cough, for unless this course is
pursued serious and dangerous disease Of the
lung is liable to result

MISSED ONES During the prev
alence of the cholera the Roman au-
thorities punched and fumigated all let
ters from suspected places, but one of
the clerical town councillors complained
of their inconsistency, for while they
were SO particular about letters they
allowed kilograms to come in without
fumigation. Noticing an incredulous
smile, as he supposed, on the faces of
some of his audience, he drew several
kilograms from his pocket and threw
them on the council table, saying :
Gentlemen, you seem to doubt il
there, then, is the positive evidence"
