TO PERSONS MOVING WEST.
A Few Words and Suggestions
which will be of Interest.

As the season for emigration is now at
hand, those persons having decided to
seek, for themselves and families, a new
home in the rich and prosperous West,
will be naturally interested in securing
the lowest rates for the transportation of
passengers and household goods, and in
the selection of the shortest and quickest
route to destination.
As a direct and popular route to points
in Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas,
Colorado, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, and California, the old relia-
BILE "Pan-Handle Route stands with
out a rival. Trains on this route are
composed of first-class coaches, equipped
with every modern appliance for the safe
ty and comfort of passengers. Two fast
through Express trains daily make close
connections, in Union Depots, at st.
Louis and Kansas City, for all principal
land centres. To reach principal points
in the West, it is necessary to spend only
one night on the road by taking the "Pan-
Handle Route" and passengers reach
their destination in daylight This can
be done only by taking the Panhandle
Route. Having the shortest and most
direct lines, this company can furnish
tickets at the very lowest competitive
rates, and check a liberal amount of bag
gage free on every ticket purchased.
Through tickets, at lowest rates, and bag
| gage checks, can be obtained at all prin-
cipal ticket offices of this company and
connecting roads, and can be ordered
from headquarters through the agents at
small stations.
Before closing any arrangements, you
will find it to your interest to consult an
agent of the Panhandle Route. Call on
or write to the nearest agent.
If you want maps, timetables, land
circulars, and any information respect
ing routes, rates, and accommodations,
please address w. L. OBRIEN, General
Passenger and Ticket Agent, "Pan-Han-
die Route" 219 North High street, Co

A SECOND WEDDING RING.

rsamuel Bishop (died 17e5), Master of
Merchant Taylor's School, wrote some po-
ems, the best of which is in praise OF his
wife, on the anniversary of her wedding
day, which was also her birthday, with q
"Thee, Mary, with this ring I wed"
So fourteen years ago said.
Behold another ringl For what?
To wed thee DER again? Why not?
With that first ring I married youth,
Grace, beauty, innocence and truth;
Taste long admired, sense long revered,
And all my Molly then appeared.
IF she. by merit since disclosed,
Prove twice the woman supposed,
plead that double merit now,
To Justify double VOW;
Here, then, to-day with faith as sure,
With ardor as intense, as pure,
AS when amid the rites divine,
I took thy troth and pGghted mine)
To thee, sweet girl, my second ring
a. token and pledge bringS
With this ring wed, till death US part,
Thy riper virtues to my hearti
Those virtues which, before untried,
The wife has added to the bride;
Those virtues whose progressive claim,
Endearing wedlock's very name,
My soul enjoys, my song approves,
For conscience's sake as well as loves.
And why? They show me every hour
Ronors high thought, affections power,
Discretion's deed, sound judgment'sssn-
And teach me all things butrepentance.

= The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Times draws this picture of
Speaker Randall: "Sam. Randall would
attract interest in almost any crowd. He
is tall, broad-shouldered and very indi-
yidual in his personal bearing. His face
rs dead sallow, white and stands out in
marked contrast with his intensely jet
black eyes and coal-black hair. He
almost always wears steel-bowed glasses.
The lower part of his face, which IS
always clean shaved, indicates bulldog
firmness and tenacity. He almost inva-
riably dresses in black. He lives in a
very quiet, unpretentious way, in a very
Inexpensive house on Capitol Hill. He
is never seen in a carriage, but walks
about town. He used to be q great
drinker several years ago, when he tlrst
entered Congress. The temptations OF
Washington life were for a time too
strong for him, and weaker man would
have been absolutely ruined. He
brought that bulldog tenacity of his to
bear, and absolutely foreswore the use OF
liquor some four years ago, and since that
time no one has ever seen him taste a
drop. So far as private life goes, he Is
model. He is devoted to his family and
his children"

- The use of money by candidates for
election expenses" has grown to be q
recognized custom in this country, but il
does not prevail to such an extent as in
England. A candidate for seat in Par.
Lament is expected to disburse thousands
of dollars, and unless he meets this ex-
pectation he finds himself sadly in the
minority when the votes are counted
At recent election in Durham each OIL
four candidates spent to obtain votes
$4,000. In another borough an aspi-
rant for seat in Parliament spent
$4,000, and was defeated in spite of this
outlay. An official investigation devel.
oped the fact that in the year 1874 in
England over $2,000,000 we're expended
upon voters by candidates. A member
of the present Congress remarked, day
or two ago, when asked why he did moi
bring his family with him to Washing.
ton "I can't afford it. 1t cost me near.
ly $4,000 to obtain my nomination and
election, and, as 1 borrowed most OF the
money, 1 am saving all can in order tc
pay it back" At this rate it will not be
many years until the English figures oi
election expenses are reached in this
country.

The Famine in Brazil.

Mr.. Herbert 81. Smith, who has trav-
elled extensively in Brazil, writes to the
New York Tribune concerning the famine
now raging in that country, which he
describes as calamity in comparison
with which the distress in Ireland sinks
into insigni6cance.
The famine district lies in that part OF
the country known as the .Sertao, be-
tween the rivers Parnabyba and San
Francisco. Much of the land is fitted for
pasturage, and fine crops of cotton and
sugar cane are raised in the valleys and
hillsides. The entire population is de-
pendent on agriculture. The present
famine began with drought in 1877.
In that year all the crops failed, and the
cattle died for want of food and water.
By July of that year one-third of the
people were begging for food; by No
vember nine-tenths of the cattle were
dead, and not a green leaf or blade of
grass could be seen. Even at this time
the famine deaths ran up to ten or fifteen
day in small villages. Following this
terrible year came another year of
drought. Over the greater part of the
region it did not rain at all in 1873, and
at the most there were only q few show
els. A great panic seized the people,
and in March, 1878, the whole popula-
ton deserted the interior of the country,
rushing down to the cities on the coast.
In the single province of Ceara the
exodus comprised 100000 people, and at
least 10000 perished on the road by
starvation. The greatest mortality was
between February 25 and April 1. The
-efugees died by hundreds in and about
the cities; many of them were totslly
without clothing About this time the
Brazilian Government woke up to the
greatness of the emergency, and an ex-
traordinary credit of $50, 100000 was voted
for relief. Throughout the year fevers
and small pox ragged among the hapless
people. In the city of Fortaleza not far
from $4,000 people died-the death rate
from smallpox in single day running
up to SOS. Last year repeated the story
Of the two preceding years. There were
few scanty showers in part OF the re-
gion, but in most places no rain fell. a
lGLLeI llOuA SCoho otA eAS -SSSA "
December last states that at that time the
Government was feeding 25O,OOO retu-
gees, but that the treasury was seriously
embarrassed by the extraordinary strain
to which it had been subjected, and there
we're fears that tie government aid would
have to be discontinued in. which case
the condition of the people would become
utterly hopeless. Out of 100000 people
who inhabited the province of Ceara in
1876, 100000 have died of starvation and
300 600 of pestilence, and of those who
are left, two-thirds are fed at the public
expense. Mr.. Smith gives graphic pic
ture of some extreme cases of suffering
which he himself witnessed, and urges
that some portion of the overaowing gen.
erosity of America, which is going out SO
freely to the relief of distress in ireland,
should go to help the stricken and starv-
ing population of these Brazilian pro-
vinces, of whose great need comparative
ly little has hitherto been known.

How T WouID PAINT A BAR-RooM

How WOULD PAINT A BAR-RooM.
On one side 1 would paint Death on
the Pale Horse, his arm welding the
thunderbolt, the fiery hoofs of his flying
steed treading down everything fair and
lovely the Garden of Eden before him,
a blackened waste behind him.
On the other side I would draw the
picture of wretched hovel, once happy
home; the roof broken in, the windows
stuffed with rags; in the doorway
weeping wife with ragged children cling
ing to her skirts, piteously beseeching her
for bread. In the distance should be
seen the once happy husband and father,
now reeling drunkard, on his way from
the village tavern to the hut he calls his
home.
Back of the bar, in full view of the
bloated creatures that stand with the cup
to their lips, I would paint company of
demons, in the death dance of fiendish
hilarity around a FIRE kindled with the
flames of alcohol, and over it would
write in lurid letters:
Moderate drinking lights the flame
that burns to the lowest hell"
Opposite the bar should be lonely and
dishonored grave; lightning blasted
tree should stretch its leahess branches
over it, and on some withered bough
should perch the melancholy owl hooting
to the wintry moon. At the foot of the
grave should kneel the angel of mercy,
with hands and eyes upraised to the pity
ing heavens; and at the head of the
grave should be the angel of justice,
carving, with stern, relentless hand, upon
the tombstone these fearful words of
doom:
"No drunkard shall inherit the king
dom of God"
In the intervening spaces would have,
here grinning skeleton and there bro
ken heart, a shattered hour glass, STAN
dard bloat, torch extinguished in black
ness of darkness, while from over the
doorway and from the ceiling should
look down all kinds of wocful human
faces-pale, imploriDg, wrathful, deadly,
despairing.
The walls of the room should be shrou-
ded in sackcloth, and the floor covered
with ashes, and the bar wreathed in weep
ing willow and gloomy cypress; while all
the vessels that held the damning fluid
should be black-black as the gates of
doom.-Reu. T. II. Griffith.

The World for 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform themselves
carefully alike Of the action their party through
out the countrp and OF the movements OF their Re-
publican opponents. A failure to do this in 1876
contributed greatly to the loss by the Democracy
of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls
The year 1880 promises to be one Of the most in.
teresiing and important years OF this crowded and
eventfuT century. 1t will witness presidential
election which may result in re-establishlng the
Government Of this country on the principles Of
its constitutional founders, or In permanently
changing the relations OF the States to the Federal
power. No intelligent man can regard such an
election with Indifference. The WORD, as the only
daily English newspaper published in the city OF
New York which upholds the doctrines Of consti-
tutional Democracy will steadily represent the
Democratic party in this great canvass. It will do
this in spirit uf servie partisanshp but tempe
rately and firmly. As q newspaper the WORLD, be-
Ing the organ Of no man, no clique and no interest
will present the fullest and the faircst picture It
can make Of each days passing history in the city,
the state, the country and the world. II will aim
hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy first OF nll
things In all that 1t publishes. No man, however
humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain
that he hos been unustly dealt With in the columns
OF the WORLD. No interest, however powerful,
shall ever be permitted truly to boast that ii cnn
silence the fair criticism Of the WORLD -.
During the past year the WORLD has seen It's
daily circulation trcbled and It's weekly circulation
pushed far beyond that Of any other weekly news
paper in the country This great increase has been
won, rs the WORLD believes, by truthfulness, en-
terprise ceasecss activity in collecting news ana
unfaltering loyalty to itself and TO its readers III
dealing with the questions of the fay. II Is our
hope and It will be our cndeavor that the WORLDS
record for 1880 may be written in the appreciation
and the support Of many thousands more OF new
readers in all parts of this Indissoluble Union oil
Indestructiblc States.
