RICHNESS OF BRAZIL IN WooD.
Brazil, within an area of half square,
Agassiz counted lit different kinds of
wood, many of them admirably fitted by
their hardness, tints and beautiful
grains, for the finest cabinet work.
The tortoise-shell wood, undoubtedly
the most precious wood in the world, is
found in large quantities on the upper
Amazon, where the water can be most
easily supplied as motive power. Other
woods, which are rivals of the most
beautiful walnut, are wasted yearly on
the Amazon in amount ample enough to
veneer all the palaces of Europe.

D,sgracoful scramble for ONCE

D1sgracoful Scramble for once.
At the late election the people arose
in their solemn majesty and declaredthat
James A. Garfield should be President
and Chester A. Arthur, Vice President
of the United States, from the fourth OF
March past, ensuing. The bullet OF the
assassin has disappointed the hopes and
anticipations of the people, and accord
ing to a constitutional provision, Ches-
ter A. Arthur, the Vice. President, sue
ceeds to the Presidency;but leaves the
office of Vice. President vacant, thereby
breaking the succession and leaving
the Presidency of the Senate vacant
But we have before us now the strange
spectacle of a Senate that is striving to
render of no Office: the vote and voice OF
the people by the election OF a Demo-
cratic President of the Senate, who
would become President, if President
Arthur we're to die, or from any other
cause, vacate his office. The attempt is
made the more reprehensible, from the
fact that three Republican Senators are
to be kept out of their seats until the
Democrats will have elected the presid-
ing officer of the Senate. which they
will be enabled to do by two majority,
but which they could not do at all if the
three Republicans alluded to were ad-
mitted and allowed to participate in
this election.
We have from day to day referred to
the general sorrow that pervaded all
classes at the death of President Gar
field, but how does this sorrow and the
tears shed appear in the face OF TINS
scramble over the dead body
of the late President, to seize the Presl-
dency? The people have said that this
was to be a Republican administration,
but the Democrats disregarding the
voice of the people say it must be a
administration so far as
hey can make it ore. 1t would he
much better for Mr.. Bayard if he would
ook little more after securing the
lights Of freemen to forty-five thousand
# his disfranchised subjects than to be
Engaged in the attempt to subvert the
government and crawl into the Presi-
lency by the bullet Of an assassin.

1t is impossible that any city in the
Union could possibly have expressed
more sympathy and feeling ior the late
President and his noble family, than
Wilmington did, and there were no
more sincere mourners at the grave of
the lamented Garfield than the people
Of Wilmington, without distinction
of party, nationality or caste 1t Is
nothing more than natural then that
these feelings should break out and
show themselves in some kind Of \ tan
gible expression of admiration i'r the
man and grief for his death. IN re-
sponse to this feeling, number of gen
tlemen have started a dollar subscrip-
ton for the erection of a monument to
the memory OF Garfield. The thought
as a happy one, and we are glad to Sc,
that the monument is popular with tn,
people. The amount will no doubt b,
raised requisite to build an appropriate
monument, which will do credit to the
patriotic citizens of Wilmington. W.
would suggest that subscriptions b'
opened in the towns and villages in th'
State, outside Of Wilmington, that al
may have an opportunity to contribute
to such a laudable cause. The mor'
contributed the larger the monumen
can be made. We hope that everybody
will be given an opportunity to sub
scribe, and if any who wish to contri
bate are not called upon, the,
should, themselves go to the store O
