 The Emperor of Brazil has been visiting some of his provinces and, according to the Rio Neacs, has not found as much prosperity as is desirable. The Emperor must every where have seen, says the Neacs, deserted vil- lages, crumbling walls and grass grown streets, the ruins of prosperous era which has been succeeded by apathy, stagnation and decay during forty years of profound peace. This period has, it is true, seen the population double and foreign commerce increase nearly twenty fold; it has seen railroads and telegraphs constructed and few leading cities enter upon the possession of all the benefits of 8 high civilization. But at the same time in dustry has been narrowed into very few channels, foreign commerce has passed into the hands of strangers who absorb the prof US, duO ueltuer tue pOl1IICdl pOSAtIoA oA hAc Nation nor the Emperor's personal renown can obscure the manifold signs of industrial deeadence. The Neacs describes the causes of this condition of affairs and points out the problems which confront the government of Brazil, as follows: ''The blight of slave ry rests upon the productive industries of the entire Nation, and it must be removed The iron hand of the Roman Church rests upon the people, and it, too, must be removed. The wasteful and oppressive system of bu- reaucratic government, centering in the inn perial capital, weighs upon the political and industrial development of the whole Empire, and it also must be changed. Many oppor- tunities have been lost in these forty years to reform these evils and to build up this Empire on more substantial and lasting foundation, and the Empire has unquestiona- ply lost many an opportunity to take higher rank among the nations of the world. The evils have now outgrown any casual opportu- nity to crush them and their results are ap- parent to every eye. It is not an easy task to retrace ones steps and to begin one's work anew but from that there is now no alternative"

Some of the inhabitants of New Hampshire who believe in maintaining the integrity of marriage and the stability of the family re- lation have petitioned the Legislature to make a distinction between divorce from the bond of matrimony and separation from bed and board, limiting the former to the most fragrant causes; to require the transfer of pa- pers to the States attorney to enable him to prosecute parties guilty of adultery within the State; to suspend the decree of absolute divorce in all cases six months, during which they be 7aSsi;. to forbid marriage of parties against whom absolute divorce has been granted, or to postpone it for one year for the ibellant and two years for the libel lee; to require three weeks publication of in tentions of marriage, and that parties under 21 and IS have the consent of parents or guardians also that certificates of intention in case of second marriage state whether the former mate is living or not.

The experiment of lighting the House of Commons with the electric light was tried on the 10th inst. Twelve square lamps had been inserted in the glass roof, and as soon as the day closed the new light was brought into op- eration The London Times says the effect was on the whole doubtful; there was a diff ference of opinion among the members and others as to whether, on the whole, the skill fully applied gas light from the glass roof was not softer and less trying to the eyes. It was conceded, however, that in one respect the electric light was an improvement on the gas. inasmuch as the rising temperature al- ways noticed in the house after the lighting of the gas above the glass roof was avoided that night. The electric light was severely tested before the house resumed business at nine o'clock, but it was thoroughly under control, and the house transacted the busi- ness of the evening sitting under the new light. The experiments were carried out in the presence of Mir. Shaw-Lefevre, first con- missioner of works, and a large number of members and visitors.
 There are men who will refuse free pass on railroad. Hon. William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, is one. The superintendent of the Boston and Maine railroad sent Mr.
 Chandler 8 pass and he returned it. Core spondence followed and MT. Chandler wrote as follows Railroads are not the private property of the presidents and superintend- ents, nor even of the stockholders The cor porations are public, performing public du- AZ 1, .-Ik lzl secure the lowest possible fares and freights, and perfect equality in their enjoyment by all citizens; but when you give free passes to persons not entitled thereto yon increase the fares of those who pay. You enforce 8 great inequality in the enjoyment by differ ent persons of public highway; you violate the express statute of the State, for the dis is not, penalty upon both the giver and re- ceiver of B free pass. It follows that the free pass system stands in the way of the re- dress of public grievances, if any such are maintained by the railroad companies If governors accept free passes they will not call attention to railroad abuses; if legislators receive them they nzay fail to redress such abuses if judges ride free, is it certain they will be as impartial the lot of humanity will admit in railroad cases While if by free passes lawyers are retained, editors in- Huenced, politicians captured, ministers si- fenced, presiding officers, speakers, chair men, committeeman, caucuses and conven- tions manipulated, all contrary to law, then the railroad officials who give the free passes will be the real power in the State, and the

When the Senate declined to allow Robert
Lowery the use of its chant Der for the weekly
carnival OF moss covered hilarity, there was
disposition in this city to look with a kindly
eye upon upon any, if not all, of the short
corlings Of that body, and, under the circum-
stances, the passage Of a bill abolishing the
State Capitol would not have aroused any
serious degree of Indignation. Yesterday
however, the Assembly extended it's privil-
eyes TO the Third House, and the incident is
thus feeiingly alluded TO by MIR. McEwen in
the Chronicles: ''To-nght there will be the
usual body-snatching in the graveyard of
humor, and Thug Lowery will strange bas-
tard jokes with ropes spun from the rags of
English which flap about the budgeon of
his rhetoric. am no alsrmist, hut it is just
as well, under the circumstances, to remem-
Der that Guy Fawkes was no creature of
romance, and that to this day file Of British
soldiers make daily tour through the vaults
of Parliament House whenever that BODY is

The BoEDsMANs RELIEF BILL.-The pas
sage, il the Assembly, of the bill for the re-
lief of Carrick's bondsmen will not Re re-
GREETED By the many friends OF the parties
who became financially involved through the
dishonesty of Carrick, the defAulting Treas
urer of Storey; but, as matter of principle,
the measure is one upon which the taxpayers
will look with adherence. 1t practically re-
moves the barriers of defense between dis
honest officials and the people. After the
passage of such bill, there is nothing left
but to pass law abolishlng the practice of
requiring bonds of officials, and increasing
tho penalties attached to defalcation. II is
urged in the case of Carrick's bondsmen that
the County Commissioners failed to do their
duty, under the law, by neglectias, at regular
intervals, to count the money in the safe.
The amendment to the bill WAS a merited re-
buke to official Negligence. The system of
bondsmen for officials is farce throughout
as there is hardly an instance on record in the
State where the bondsmen ever made good a
deficiency.

IN THE TOLLS.

Senator POwning, i'll his speech, yesterday,
on the Mcconnell bill, which fixed the rates
Of fare in the State of Nevada at four cents a
mile, zone half the present price, explained
that he should vote against the bill, because
he did not consider it good policy for the
State to agrivate the Central Pacific Railroad
for the revenge Of the road would be swift
and certain, and for the $50 COO which the bill
would keep from it, it would exact ten times
the amount in extra frsights.
He cited as an instance the case where sew
eral years ago Washoe county seized the c. p.
trains and held them as security for the pay
ment of some $50, coo back taxes The county
got the money, and the people felt that it was
a great victory. Inside of ten days, however.
the freight Oh wood, which had been hauled
from Verdi at fifty cents a cord advanced one
hundred per cent, and in eight years the
county has paid out two and a hat millions
more in freight rs punishment for forcing
the collection Of its just taxes. lfthts state
of facts be true. then is Nevada occupying the
same position toward the road as the Oh idren
Of Israel occupied toward their Egyptian task
masters, or like man who dares not resent
the insults Of a ruf1ian who splits in his face
and pulls his nose, fearing that he may cut
his throat. If this is the view to be taken of
the situation, it is the strongest possible ar
gument in favor Of immediate Congressional
relief. Nevada to day, State. is covering !

1t consists of a small cask, which is

boat to open the cask and to take let

Where silver is Found.

Professor James Orton says silver
is usually found with lead ore and na-
tive copper. States and sands;ones
intersected by igneous rocks, as trap
and porpllyry, are good localities.
Pure silver is often found in or near
iron ores, and the da.k k brown zinc
blende The New Mexico silver ores
are porous at the surface, and colored
more or less red or green. Any rock
suspected of containing silver should
be powdered and dissolved in acid.
Pour off the liquid and add to it a So
luton of salt. If IA white powder fails
to the bottom, which, upon exposure,
turns black, there is silver in it. Silver
mines increase in value as in depth,
whereas gold diminishes as we descend.
