The Gilt Edge,

The fact that tho City Mills Gilt Edge flour is
the best flour in the market, is amply attested by
dealers outside our city, who are discarding old
brands and largely advertising it us the best flour
they ever handled. And in this city many fami-
ilies'w had been prejudiccd against it by mis-
representations are now using it, prclerring it to
any of the innumcrabe brands forced on this
market We think our citizens who are using
flour manufactured hundreds of miles from the
city should stop and consider this matter, and
wien a better article made in their own town
can be procured for their money than foreign
flour, they have two reasons for prcferrlnS the
home manufacture. And such is the fact. The
Gilt Edge can be bought as cheap as the poorest
ground wheat, and is guaranteed, at the least, as
good as the best -four made, whether it came
from ''Washhurn A" or from Budapest.

LONDON, December 31.-The Times

industries have been disorganized,

nearly five thousand more than last

thrown out Of employment, but many
thousands of those above the artisan
class are either in actual want or on
the confines of it. The increasing
numbers driven to grant bills Of sale
on their effects is one significant proof
of what is going on in the ranks of

AHorror from Brazil.
New York Herald, 27th.l

New YORK heraldi zftn.I
Ceara, one of the northerly prov
inces of Brazil, is experiencing one of
those visitations of famine and pesti-
lence which make the blood run cold
to read of. The province has an At
lantic coast line where the climate is
moist and comparatively COOL but
back in the interior, where the land is
mountainous, it is hot and dry. Del
uged by heavy rains from February to
June, it bakes beneath an unclouded
sky for the remainder of the year
the streams dry up, and if famine
comes then the consequences can be but
family pictured. The inhabitants
flock to the cities. to the capital on
the coast if possible, if they have
strength. So, we are informed, they
have focked this year to Fortaleza,
and there smallpox has broken out
among the starving refugees. The
loathsome disease claims, it is report
ed, three hundred victims a day In
the interior the condition of those left
behind is appalling. Stories of human
beings feeding upon what is left in
Brazil for the vultures, and even
upon corpses, are told, recalling
the worst experiences of the famines
in British India and China. In the
United States we have just passed
through a period of pestilence which
we were fortunately able to rob of any
aggravation that might come from
hunger, thirst or want of medal at
tendance and nursing, But in Ceara,
! like fire where there are no fire en-
gines, it must be left to burn
out, almost beyond the reach
of help from man. Still, some
thing can be dane. Brazil is
not rich, but its enlightened ruler
may be counted on to do his utmost
to extend relief to the dying people,
or at least to provide sustenance to the
survivors of the disease. Here, too,
if a movement is started in proper
hands, some welcome relief might be
extended. These are cases where
man pities man and helps him if he
can reach him.

The silver mines Of Montgomery
county, in this State, are eliciting con
siderable attention just now. There
are about ten mines now zen or being
opened, and are about one hundred
miles south of Fort Smith.
The Diamond Joe mine is now work
ed day and night, Sundays included,
and has three shafts of men.
The yield per ton is $50, and the lead
taken from this pays for the working
An interest in the Blucher mine
sold lately for $4,000 cash.
Brady, an old miner, has discovered
new lead, and was offered $25, 900 for
it, but refused the amount, asking
$4,000. At two blasts 1900 pounds
weight was thrown out
These mines are ten miles east Of
Mount Ida, the county seat of Mont
gomery county, and quite business
town is springing up. Two business
houses, blacksmith shop and the
frame work for hotel has gone up
within ten days
The Diamond Joe mine is now
seventy-fve feet from the surface, and
is drifting. Suitable machinery will
be brought here by the owner in a
short time.
A friend writing us says: We arc
having considerable excitement over
our mines. Diamond Joe is prosecut-
ing his work successfully, working day
and night, and it looks like he means
business. j. H. DENNY has a very
rich mine, or claims to have, in shor
distance from Diamond Joo's, and i
working it.
Almost every man in the county ha
a mine, and the county is not wortl
much anything else. II Fort Smitl

We learn that the success of tn
Montgomery county mines is assured
