ACurlous Story rFom Krazi,

ine CathOlIc BISHOP OF Pernam-
buco issued an order, a few years
ago, for the expulsion of Free Ma
sons from all benevolent and relig-
ious societies. This order the va
rious societies refused to obey, and
the Bishop, in retaliation, issued
an edict excluding them from ad-
mission to the Catholic churches.
The Emperor was appealed to and
he commanded the Bishop TO recall
his edict, but this he refused to do
under the plea of superior orders
from the Pope. The offending
Bishop and another who initiated
his example we're prosecuted and
sentenced to four years imprison-
ment with hard labor. The En-
peror afterwards remitted the hard
labor element Of the SENTENCE
The action of the government and
of the courts was universally pop
ular throughout the Empire, and
the paramount authority of the
government seemed firmly esta5-
lIshed.
And now the Emperor's daugh-
ter, wife of the Count d'Eu, ap-
peared on the scene, and vowed
that until the Bishops were releas-
ed she whould go barefoot and un-
attended, and occupy herself with
broom and scrubbing brush in
cleaning the various churches in
the royal capital. This naturally
produced a tremendous sensation.
causing a revulsion of feeling, and
so working on the paternal feelings
or the Emperor, that he pardoned
the Bishops. This change of poll
-cy was the signal for a fierce polit-
icalreligious agitation throughout
the Empire, the general feeling
being that it humiliated the EN-
pire. 1t bas rendered the position
of the Emperor so uncomfortable
as to lead him to take an extended
foreign tour to America and Europe
in order to escape home troubles.

The S0uGh In a BETTER Condition
shan tne NOrGh.

Al over the North anl West
real estate has depreciat; d greatly,
far more than in the South. In
fact, the people Of the South, and
espe :ially of Tennessee and Ken
tncky, are in much better cOndi-
tion than they are in t Northern
States, East or West. If we have
not enough money to supply tie
wants of trade, we do not owe so
much, and are therefore not under
the necessity Of sacrificing proper
ty to SO great an extent to meet
debts.
Again, The bulk of our popHla-
tion are tillers of the soil. We
have had abundant crops of the
cereals, cotton, tobacco and fruits,
so that there is no danger of star
vatlon TO either man or beast.
Our mines and manufactures are
located in the midst OF fertile agri-
cultural districts, and if they have
but little work for their employees,
in the climate there is no danger
of protrac:ed suffering. Upon the
whole, Notwithstanding the loss
necessarily occasioned to all by
the miserable financial system
which the Republican party has
fastened upon the country. we have
the consolation of knowing that
we. are better Off than they are in
any State ia the Union where the
Republican party is in power.
