blood of millions of our people. This speech will count in the big Republican ma jority which Vermont will give.
 The Daily Telegraph, published at Hot Springs, Arkansas, has an account of Han cock and English meeting. At the head of the report is large-sized confederate flag, and under it the following displayed head lines '"The great Democratic barbecue; the Democrats have their banners on the outer wall; great enthusiasm for Hancock and the whole Democratic ticket; everybody feel ing good and happy" At the Democratic demonstration in Washington last week detachment of the "black horse cavalry, l rode in the procession, and the fve-pointed star of the Knights of the Golden Circle was by accident or design, conspicuously dis played among the decorations over the names of Hancock and English.
 The Medical and Surgical Journal is dis posed to think that any present attempt to find relief for shop girls exposed to ill health from long g-continued standing is impractical ble, and that it is more than probable that the matter will again be quietly shelved. Dr. ! Roger S. Tracy, one of the sanitary inspect ors of the New York board of health, has lately made an investigation, under instruc- 1 tions from the board, into the extent of the injuries complained of and found the girls and their parents, well as the employers averse to giving any authentic Information He so reported, and the result is that the in- vestigation was abandoned. The vigorous agitation recently begun by the London Lan- cet in regard to the treatment of shop-girls in London has been equally fruitless of re-
 suits. All of which is decidedly too bad
 Az we intimated the other day. New York
 might well copy from Boston in the matter of
 disposing of sewage. Boston has three offal
 yards, into which all the offal is gathered, houses being visited twice week in winter, three times in summer and hotels daily. The driver of each cart drives upon platform scale at the yard and receives ticket for the amount of his load; he is paid at the end of the week according to the tickets he surren- ders, which show the work he has done From these depots the offal is sold to farmers for pigs and for fertilizer for from $3.60 to $6 cord, according to the distance they have to cart it. At the Charlestovn yard SC cord is paid, although even from that point the farmers must cart it from three miles up ward. The farmers come for it in close wagons and pay cash at the office in each l yard The removal of ashes employs 121 i men and 59 carts upon similar system, and | the ashes are sold for filling at from five to ! twenty-five cents load
 Those who think that the South is all l right, or would be if it were only let alone, l might find food for thought in some of the l school books from which the rising genera tion of that section is taught. The 'New l School History of the United States, now in l it's eleventh edition, is specimen. This l book has the commendation of a host of l teachers and school superintendents in the 1 South To the youth the doctrine of Nullif- | cation is taught traditional right, by this l reference to John c. Calhoun. The book | says: "He was the great representative of l the South; and it was the chief aim of his political life to strengthen the power of the South in the govern ment, so Hat she might Dc enabled to resist tte e7aerooc2ments of tue NOrth upon her rights. Other specimens from this book are as fol- l lows: ''At the Presidential election in the l fall of 1860, Abraham Lincoln, sectional candidate, was elected. The Secessionists l are described, while leaving the halls of Con- l gress, as having hurled defiance at their | enemies, so1ao had 1iuep them to tis Just resort Of h0roT'' The Union army is constantly l referred to as ''the army of conquest" Ed ucation is what the South most needs, but i not such education as this.
 MT. J. c. Kip Hopper, resident director in the United States for the Brazilian inter-con- 1 tinsntal exhibition, has completed the organ l ization for New England. An advisory con- 1 mittee has been formed, composed of the l following well-known business men of Bos- 1 ton ". H. Hunt, treasurer South Boston l Iron Company A. P. Martin, president New | England Shoe and Leather Association; John 1 ". CandIer, ex-president Boston Board of l Trade; Charles W. Stack, president Massa i chusetts Charitable Mechanic Association :; 1 Henry w Peabody, H. W. Peabody & Co.,, | 
 England, C. B. Norton, 70 Water street, Bos- 1 ton. The programme of this permanent e1- l hibition presents very attractive features for ] tho consideration of our manufacturers. The l society in Rio Janeiro has secured, by special 1 concession from the imperial government, 1 most admirable location, upon which suitable l buildings will be erected; in the meantime | large and commodious hall is occupied for l the reception and exhibition of goods. Sam | pIes of all classes of manufactures are solicit ed exhibitors being at no expense after 1 goods are delivered at the vessels side in | Boston. Arrangements have been completed | for the first shipment to take place so soon 1 as notices are received of the amount of space | required. Letters of inquiry should be ad | dressed to General Norton, 70 Water street, | Boston, who will furnish all information and | send blank applications by return mail. While | in business point of view there can be no question of the importance of this movement | to our manufacturers, it has national inter est which should not be forgotten. At pres | ent we are paying Brazil an annual cash l balance of nearly $40, ,OO0,OOO while Brazil | is importing from England, France and Ger many articles that we can make better and l cheaper. The Emperor has personally ex- pressed himself as in favor of intercontinen- tai trade, with the result that the United | States and Brazil may be dependent on each other and not on Europe.
