Formulation and Area of Brazil.

By partial census of the population
of Brazil, made in 1872, it was esti-
mated that the entire number of inhab-
itants was 1916, 1913. The number of
square miles contained in the twenty
provinces of the Empilo is 3,275,326
In 1850 the number of slaves held Ill
the country was estimated at 100000
but after the law for their gradual eman-
cipation was passed, in 1871, this num-
Der gradually decreased. According to
an official return published in May,
1874, there were at that time only 1916
262 slaves distributed over the whole
Empire. The population OF Brazil is
made up of an agglomeration Of many
races. While it remained q colony OF
Portugal but few women accompanied
the en1igrants to South America. The
earliest European settlers intermarried
and mixed with Indian women, and
afterward an extensive intermixture of
race occurred with the Africans who
were brought into the country as slaves.
In the northern provinces the Indian
element preponderates, while in Per
nambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, and
Minas, the negroes are numerous. At
the chief seaports the chief Fart of the
population are of European descent.

Blaine and MulIigan.

Washington June y Cor. Chicago Journal
The Judiciary Committee room was
the scene of most sensational event on
the opening of the Blaine investigation
this morning. The witness Mull1gan,
before proceeding with his testimony,
asked to make statement. He SAID
That, on arriving here, he and Fisher had
received written invitation from MIR.
Blaine to call at his house, but he de-
clined to go. Fisher went. Blaine
then called on him (witness) and begged
him not to tell what he knew yes
terday. He came again and made
the same request, asking him to
remember his family. He asked to see
certain private letters of his (Blaine's),
and asked witness what he intended to
do with them. Witness told Mr.. Blaine
he would print them if they tried to
break him down, as they were threatening
to do. Blaine then begged to be allowed
to read them, and said he would return
them as soon as read. After reading,
he refused to return them, and had them
vet, and witness asked that he might be
obliged by the committee to return them.
Muligan produced memorandum
book, in which were recorded the tran
sactions between Fisher, Blaine, and va
rious parties in Maine.
MIR. Blaine was sworn, and said in re-
gard to his interview with Mulligan,
that the extravagant words witness at
tributed to him were fabricated. He
did protest strongly against his private
letters being printed, and Mulligan had
stated that he intended to make them
I i 10 fA/1T ~
him or impugn his motives. MI. Blaine
held that witness had no right to those
letters, and so he declined to give them
back. He had submitted them to two
friends, and read them all. With one
exception, they did not bear on the sub
iect of the inquiry. He intended to
submit them to two of the best lawyers
in Washington, and to be guided by
them as to whether he should produce
them.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A delegation from Louisiana, headed by
Lieut.. Gov. Antoine, has arrived in Washing
ton to oppose the bill to carry into effect the
Hawaiian treaty. Delegations from North
Carolina, Georgia. and other Southern States
are expected for the same purpose.
The testimony of Lawrence Harvey, charg-
ing Speaker Kerr with the sale of commission
in the army, for one Augustus P. Green, has
been the sensation of the National Capital.
Green had previously testified before the COM
mittee that he was appointed to a second-lieu-
tenancy in the army in 1865, his commission
bearing date of July 20 Of that year. He came
to Washington with reference to his appoint
ment several times between December, 1865,
and the May or June following. he
first made application to board OF
officers convened in Washington for the ex-
animation of applicants, and forwarded his tes-
timonials to it but nothing came of this, as
the board gave it's appointments to Congress
men. After going to his representative and
learning that the latter had already appointed
man, the witness came to Washington to see
what he could do himself, and talked with an
acquaintance of his, Mr.. Harvey, who was at
that time an assistant doorkeeper of the House
of Representatives. Harvey said that he could
secure a nomination for consideration
which witness agreed to- Greene said there
was no understanding, nor did he believe that
the money he paid Harvey was paid by the
latter to Mr.. Kerr. Harvey, when he appeared
| before the committee was confronted by Mr..
Kerr, and by him asked to tell all he knew
about the alleged bribery. Harvey then swore
point blank that he paid Mr.. Kerr, in the
spring of 1885, while he (Harney) was door
keeper in the House, and Mr.. Kerr member
from Indiana, $3.50 for securing a commission
for Greene, who lived at the time in New
York; that he applied to Mr.. Kerr
because other members had made then
army appointments that he told hin
in his seat in the House that he ex
pected to pay for the appointment; that a
the second interview with Mr.. Kerr at his room
the latter said it was worth $500 if it was worth
ANYTHING. but thai $40 was all that Greer
could raise, $410 of which the latter paid tt
| Harvey and subsequently made up the full
amount by posta card order for $40, and al
of which Harvey swears he paid to Mr.. Kerr
| who asked him In ten days Derofe tne
appointment was made, when he handed i
over he says, in the east corridor of the House
to him. When Harvey concluded Speaker
Kerr was sworn. and made a brief statement
consisting of an emphatic denial of everything
Harvey swore to SO far as it implicated him
He did not know Harvey, the latter had never
been to his room and he never received cen
from him in any way.
In eleven months, according to the Treasur.
statement, The circulation of National banks

ter Rachel, who was the only other in
mate of the house, and who has been
affected with insanity. Her mother was

WASHINGTON. June 2.

On the reassembing of the sub
Judiciary Committee to-day, Mr.. Hun
toon, the Chairman, renewed his request
to Mr.. Blaine to present the letters taken
from Mulligan. Blaine recapitulated
the statement made yesterday by him in
relation to the letters, and said he had
submitted the letters to eminent legal
counsel, and had received from them
statement, which he read. In it Jeremiah
S. Black and Matt Carpenter, as counsel,
say they have examined all the letters,
and find nothing in them bearing at ali
upon the case now pending before the
committee, and they advise Blaine to as
sert his ight as an American citizen, and
resist to the utmost any attempt to take
from him any of these private letters.
They say that any attempt to do so
would be tyrannical and unjust. Mr..
Blaine then informed the committee
that, in accordance with this legal adj
vice, he would decline to produce the
letters or memorandum of their contents.

Four persons-Mrs. Duncklee and her daugh-
ter Maud, and Miss Wilson and her little
brother Johnny-were drowned last week in
Fresh pond, near Boston, oy the upsetting OF
small sail-boat.
The reunion and parade of Knights Tenn
plars, at Philadelphia, on the LIST inst, was the
most imposing Masonic demonstration ever
witnessed in this or any other country. Over
$50 commentaries participated.
Hon. S. s. Burdette, ex-Commissioner of the
General Land Office, recently disappeared very
suddenly. Several days subsequently his body
was found near Bergen, n. J., and there was
every evidence that he had been foully muir
dered. When last seen at the Astor House, in
New York, Mr.. Burdette had large amount of
money and considerable valuable property on
his person, all of which was missing from the
body when found
West.
Salt Lake experienced the delights OF d snow
storm on the 1st of June.
The latest Chicago sensation is the startling
story told to the Grand jury by Warden
Kimberly, Of the Cook County Poor-house and
Insane asylum, that he and one Glenn Periolat,
wholesale grocer, together with certain mem
bers of the Board of County Commissioners,
have been defrauding the county to large
amounts by q thievish conspiracyin connection
with contracts, etc. The whole ring of scoun-
drels has been indicted, and will probably be
sent to the penitentiary.
Particulars of the massacre of the Cincin-
natl Black Hills party, who were cut off by the
sayages within fifty miles of Red Cloud agency,
show that the victims were guilty of suicidal
recklessness. While passing through the fatal
sand-hills where so many smaller parties have
been ambushed and slain, the men foolishly
placed their weapons in the wagons, and stray
gled along so far behind that the Indians were
able to dash between them and their means OF
defense, and, being mounted, had no difficulty
IN running down the miners, who were on
toot in detail, and butchering them at leisure.
The whites were forty-nine in number-a
force strong enough if well armed and pru-
IDENTIFY handled, to have kept thousand red
skins at bay.
The grasshoppers have made their annual
appearance in Minnesota, and have begun to
harvest the young crops.
Letters nave been received from members OF
the two expeditions from Cincinnati to the
Black Hills, which show that the reports of the
killing of eleven members of Col. Stones
party are false Both expeditions arrived safely
at Custer City without being molested by In

EDITOR HERALD;-I desire to call
attention through the columns of your
PapertO one of the great necessities of
Hartford, viz; "a Good School
Building" sar,
Large sums Of money have been
paid out by the citizens of our town in
times past, to academic institutions
abroad, for the education Of their chill
dren, which institutions were no more
eligibly situated so far a. health and
convenience and all necessary creature
comforts are concerned than Is our
town; and what is worse, money sstill
being sent abroad by some of our leiti>
zens for the same purposes, Now it Is
manifest that if we had suitable build
ings an academy or college located
here would receive patronage sufficient
to sustain it, provided always the ser
Eices of a competent faculty were Sc
cured. Suppose then we form a Joint
stock company and organize upon the
basis that every member shall have
the right to send one scholar for every
scholarship for which he may subscribe
at $500 per scholarship, payable One>
third cash and the balance in one and
two years, deferred payments to Be
well secured, the taking Of thirty
scholarships at that price would raise
fund of 81, 1000, which would be suf,
ficient to provide q building site, erect
and furnish building which would &C,
commOdate say one hundred and fifty
scholars, which, after deducting the
pupils representing the scholarships,
would leave the tuition ofone hundred
and twenty pupils 10 defray the ex.
penses Of teachers salaries, fuel, lights.
&c. 1 think the above is q minimum
estimate Of pupils. Who viii say that
such school would not be a vast benz
eft to our community There is not
a merchant of energy enough to de-
serve success in his calling in our COM
munity who could not make. enough
on his sales to teachers and pupih to
pay for scholarship in the FIRST three
years. Hoping our citizens may soon
wake up to reality Of their necessities
in the direction indicated, and inviting
the suggestions of the HERALD in the
premises, l remain Yours, &C.,
CITIzaN.

A crowd of boys eOngregated in
front of Wells 4 Williams grocery
store, Sunday, and concluded to have
e little fun. One of the glass in the
shOw>window had small hole in it,
and the fuse Of Roman candle was
near the hole. One of the bows, not
thinking ofthe danger attached, touch
ed match to it, which set the rest in
the window on fire, and they began
shooting in every direction. From
this the shelving and window-hame
took fire, and few moments more a

he hadn't. When he put his arm
