The Dominion and Brazil.

While we Yankees are considering the
subject of reviving our foreign commerce
and discussing the means by which it can
be best effected and new relations estab-
lished with other countries, our Canadian
neighbors are quietly anticipating us in
demonstrating the practicability of intimate
commercial connection between the North
Atlantic and Brazil. A steamship company
has lately been organized, with headquarters
in London, which is to establish about the
first of May, regular communication between
Canada and Brazil via the West Indies. The
Canadian and Brazilian governments have
granted subsidies to the new enterprise,
amounting to about $4,000 annually, for
three years, subject to an extension to ten
years, under certain conditions; and GER
tain exemptions and privileges have been
accorded by both governments, on account
of the mail service to be carried on. The
promoters of the enterprise say that it is on
ly necessary to make the working expenses
by earnings to assure dividends of 81 per
cent. per annum, as the subsidies and con-
cessions are sufficient to. guarantee this.
Montreal is to be the Summer and Halifax
the Winter Canadian port of the new line.
Both governments, it is said further, are
making concessions in point of tariff of du-
ties, for the purpose of having no obstacle to
successful trade. Before the American Con-
gress can reach any one of the many propo-
sitions ready to be formally laid before it for
the revival of our foreign trade, we shall
have learned something definite of the pros
poets OF our Canadian neighbors' success.
England sends annually into Brazil about
100000 of goods and merchandise, and
exports from the same source only about
$1,000, 600 worth per annum. At present
she holds the trade fast in her clutches,
having adapted herself long ago to the Bra
lillian methods of doing business, and though
her commerce has been based on system
of long credits which we of the United
States are struggling to get free of in our
business with other nations, England has,
SO to speak. made slave of her debtor, and
the business pays her handsomely, while
Germany and France, her rivals in the field,
though reaping large advantages, are far be-
hind. Of course the Dominion enterprise
will have the benefit of English prestige in
opening new market. In the character of
the prospective exports we are interested.
large business is possible in lumber, -four,
fish, butter, potatoes, cheese, paper, beans,
hay, cured meats, candles, lard, kerosene,
corn, hardware, dry. goods, machinery and
agricultural implements; and in addition to
the ordinary importations of Brazilian pro-
ducts, profitable business is anticipated in
handling tropical fruits both from Brazil
and the West Indies. The United. States
has been better customer FOR Brazil than
England. We have purchased annually
about 81, ,Q00,0 900 from her and exported
thence only about 100000. Those whe
have been so anxious to extend our COM
mercial relations with Brazil and other
South American countries will see that some
means for doing so must be speedily adopt

PROVIDENCE Journal: There was OF

PROVIDENCE .ournal: There was one
argument in favor of the code. 1t was that
it made men more civil; that when a man
was held personally responsible for words
spoken in debate or in discussion, he was
apt to be more particular in his argument,
and would not call his opponent liar and
horse thief, unless he meant it and was pre-
pared to back it up. There was undoubted-
ly some truth in this, and the ceremonious
and polite language of Southern gentlemen
on ordinary occasions was the result of a
feeling of responsibility not to be lightly
provoked. 1t was, of course, merely upon
the surface. and the real savagery and feroc-
and passion in which they found vent. But
the outward civility was something, and it
was ass erted, and justly, that the Northern
people, who rejected the duello as barbarous
were in the habit of using language to each
other in dispute which they would not have
done had they been compelled to weigh their
epithets with sense of personal response
bility. We don't want to 60 back to the old
method of cure for incivility and violence of
language, but when we read of such handy
ing of epithets as have been passing in the
Senate of the United States between Sen
ator Malone and his assailants, we feel dis
posed to wish they would either fight or quit
calling names, and that decency in debate
should be taught by good manners, since
personal responsibility is no longer allowed.
If there is anything worse than fighting, it
is bullying without intending to fight. and
using the language of the duel, while avoid
ing the responsibility. Such conduct is at
once rufianly and cowardly, and the coun-
try has had quite enough of the exhibition
in body which should be model of de-
corum and dignity.

The case of Mrs. Edward Myers, of Rondout, New
York. furnishes an apt illustration of woman's power
of endurance. This lady had been treated for
months in the usual way for Eryspelas of the hand,
without benefit. Not until her hand had become
mass of purified flesh, did she turn to DR.. Kenne-
dy, proprietor of the "Favorite Remedy, for help.
He at once informed her that it was impossible
to save the hand-it must be amputated. She re-
ceived this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to
take ether stpulating merely to hold her husbands
hand during the operation, and underwent the pain
full process without moving muscle or uttering a
groan. DIR. Kennedy then gave "Favorite Remedy
freely to cleanse the blood and prevent the return
of the disease. and Mrs. Myers now lives and re-
| joices in her great deliverance.

THE following from the Hartford Courant
will interest medical experts and those con-
templating murder by poison: An investi-
cation in Providence into an alleged poison
ing case leads the jury to come out against
modern undertakers' ways. 1t seems
the undertakers, to preserve the bodies
of the dead, inject into them great deal of
certain kind of liquid which is really
mainly made up of arsenic. They say this
prevents the detection of whether persons
have been poisoned, and there the jury
stop. They might, however, go farther. 1t
ispossible that the use of such stuff by un-
dertakers may have led to suspicion against
innocent people; may even have convicted
them of murder 1t is a serious matter.
