The Brazilian government encourages im- migration. Each adult immigrant receives eight acres of arabic public land, and he must pay sixteen dollars an acre for it if he pays at once, or twenty per cent. more If he requires time for payment. If he cannot pay in advance, his first payment must be made at the end of the second year, and the remainder of the sum must be paid in four yearly payments. The immigrant is fed and sheltered at the government boarding house in Rio de Janeiro after he has come from the ship, and he is given free transportation to the public lands. He receives D few imple- ments and seeds and an allowance of twenty cents day for each adult in his family and
 ten cents 8 day for each child during the first six months after settlement. But he gets very little land and has to pay a high price for it. In the two ears ending Decem- Der 31 1881, Brazil received 40, 7S3 immi grants, most of Lom come from Italy and Portugal, while in the same period more than l, 100, ,oOo immigrants came to the Unit ed States.
 The people of this country are accustom- ed to think that Congress does not do as much work as it might, or do what it does do well. The London News. however thinks we'll of the working capacity of Congress and compares it with that of Parliament much to the disadvantage of the latter. The House of Commons has not those committees which digest legislation in the American body, and Mr. Gladstone has been forced to introduce this device to divide up the work of the Commons The News notes the fact that 10, GOO bills and resolutions were intro duced into the last Congress in it's two ses- sions. and, after naming over the chief com mittees into which the House of Representa- tiVes is divided sat 8 that ''the work they get through is beyond anything an English member of Parliament can believe to be pos sible It also says that in consequence of these committees. ''bilIs are much more care fully framed in America than here.'' More over, the American system makes the com mittee-room field of labor and gives some thing to do to men who in the Commons have nothing to do but s:sit in silence night after night, Ito make government majority. This is interesting It will console some of the growlers to know that while Congress is bad enough that noble body the English Parliament is still worse.

In the Lareh Tree.

l By Miss. M B. Whiting in the Congrsgationalist l It stands few blocks from the center oi l a city of seventy thousand inhabitants. Iti blossoms fall into busy kitchen and hard bJ 1 is 8 tennis-court full of mad rackets. Bells l ring, whistles shriek, and trains thunder near it at all hours. It is true 1t stands in an acre dwelling lot surrounded by old Norway 1 spruces, but it is not 8 spot where one would 1 look for the shy birds of the forest; yet, l have seen, on or under the branches, all of the birds here mentioned and if my success will encourage another to watch heI pet tree
 or bush, both she and I will have our re-
 wards.
 Through the long winter the larch is bare
 and homely, but the brown creeper, the hairy
 woodpecker and hardy nut hatch with queru- lous cry, come on sunny days and rouse the
 unluckY sleeping grub with final summons. The great ed-headed peckers are more shy, though common in the vicinity.
 The white wintry Hills grow piebald with patches of earth. We are waiting for spring, and yet Gall nature tarries, as motienless and cold she lies asleep" when, like ''a herald of the bsauty of the spring." the brave white throated sparrow sounds his five clear quav- CTS from the spire of the larch. For three years tried to learn what bird so sweetly broke the winter silence, and at last in & Hull in spring nor easter spied him on the larch. A glance at helpful old Wilson christ ened him and now reckon spring by his coming; and when his long notes cease to sound from the spruees then is winter nigh. It was the 28th of November before he bade farewell last year, and he begged for crumbs at Christmas with the air of an habitue, so think he turks here all the year. All the sparrow tribe are faithful. The song-sparrow yearly sings her songs and ''chippie" builds on the larchs middle shelf. -
 We count the robin and bluebird as home birds, so late they go and early sing, but one of the earliest corners from the South is the ruby throated humming bird. Cool April mornings find him in the larch, pruning in the sunrise light and drinking the dewdrops made aromatic, no doubt, by the piney leaves.
 May is the processional season. Now, come the wood and hermit thrushes, gliding under the shrubs and singing far away, and t'gold- walks into the garden with sane timonieus dirt. Oddly enough, she always appears here on Sunday, and the first year she distracted my thoughts by her queer gait,

One of the newly elected second assistant assessors'' of Boston attends an evening school. This is commendable proceeding on his part, but it naturally seems to some of the cultured Bostonians that 8 man who needs to go to school is not one who should be chosen to help value the property of the city.

The Japanese are taking very kindly to crema atlon. It IS stated that the number of bodies disposed of in that way in Japan is about nine thousand a year. The furnace is stone and cement structure with a tall chimney that makes it look like factory. In the vestibule are number of red earthen- ware urns and small shovels which the rela- tives of the deceased purchase to collect the ashes after burning. Besides the vestibule there are four chambers, the largest of which IS decorated with granite columns. After the cremation the ashes are collected, placed in an urn and then buried-often with much pomp-in cemetery. The cremative edifice is hedged in by fences of bamboo canes and r-d camelias
 remarkable pamphlet has just been pub lished at Cracow under the title of 'sThe Polish Question. It points out that the Oriental question has changed it's character, and has taken the shape of mortal antagon ism between Austria and Russia, which will have to be fought out in Poland, and in which Germany will be found at the side of Austria. Nothing, according to this broch ure, will secure central Europe from 8 periodical removal of this deadly conflict better than the creation of Polish kingdom under some en. ergetic prince acknowledging German or Austrian hegemony. In such a case all Poles should unite to support the two German em- pires, no longer listening to the deceitful accents of Panslavist sirens, who should lure them to destruction by enlisting thsir sym palhies for Russia

In the recent libel suit against @ newspaper
 in Detroit Judge Chipnan gave broad dei-
 milton of newspaper privilege. The paper
 reproduced an accusation against professor
 D a Michigan institution, and the court said
 that the accusation concerned a public
 man the article was privileged one, and the
 subject proper matter for discussion. The
 judge held that where such an accusation is
 made, when it is not simply evolved from the inner consciousness of the person making it, but where it was, as in this case, through the medium of publications and public accusa- tions made in another country, then, in a proper and decent manner and in right spirit, the press in this country have right to comment upon it, to call attention to it, to demand investigation consequently, the defendant in this case had a right to do all those things"

A GOOD SPECULATION

Mr. David Kribs, brother of l.. w
kribs of this place, arrived from Mime
sofa last evening, and was present at thu
driving Of the last spike. After the con
clusion of the ceremonies he assisted il
cutting up the tie which contained The
spike, a piece of which he brought
through with him and presented to us
The tie was dressed smooth and varnished
the ends being painted, and when cut up
small pieces were distributed among the
three thousand people present.-Dayton
Chronicle.
We suggest that some enterprising fel-
low dress off and yarnish a railroad tie,
and saw it il blocks and split it in small
pieces. and offer it for sale at quarter
of a dollar for each and every small
piece. Judging from the number who
want a keepsake Of the spike driving,
the number of fools who would purchase
the souvenir would be ample to absorb
the whole tie, and the genius who en-.
tered upon the enterprise would make a
small fortune. 1t would be equal to tho

PEOPLE VS.. Il. MAY.

On Tuesday defendant was arraigned
before Justice Vincent and plead not
guilty. The prosecution then asked a
continuance ior witness and the same was
continued until Wednesday. On Wedn-
csday at 10 am. the defendant appeared
with his attorney, A. Leland, and j. W.
Poe appearing for the prosecution. Thos
Wordcn, VIM. Vernon and Judge Rand
were sworn on the part OF the prosecution
and receipt for the $40, introduced,
also an order for some cattle upon Mr.
Vernon. The testimony showed that
Vernon sold the cattle in April to May
and received $50 from May to hiud the
bargain. The cattle were to be delivered
to May at Lewiston before the 1st of May
But Vernon did not get up the cattle
from the range, and he saw May on the
9th of April and told him that he had
hunted for them and did not find them
and had not time to hunt longer for them
and offered May back his $50 bonus
which be declined to receive telling Yer
non that he could doubtless fnd them by
time he came up from Portland again,
about the middle Of May, and Vernon
said he thought he could get them by
that time sure, and kept the $50 bonus
About the 18th or 18th of May the de.
fendant again called for the cattle bu,
Vernon had not got them up and said he
would go and get them up as soon as the
steamer had stretched the wire of his
ferry which it was about to do. The de.
fendant came back to Lewiston, and Wor-
de2 asked him about the cattle, aud he
told defendant if he would sell him the
cattle he would pay him the $40 on them
and 60 and get them and pay to Vernon
the balance due him on the cattle which
was sl10, May told Worden all the cir
cumstances Of the situation of the cattle
before Worden purchased, and Worden
paid May the $40 and took his receipt
and obtained the order on Vernon for
the cattle and weat to Vernons place ior
the cattle, with the S110 to pay him as
the balance, Vernon acknowledged that
be had sold the cattle to May, but that
he Vernon had not time then to est
them from the range. Wordcn then came
back and left for Puget Sound. After
wards Vernon came to hunt Worden to
deliver him the cattle and could not find
him in Lewiston. He then went home
and soon after sold the cattle to another
party for an advanced price, The mag
istrate held that there Was no false pre-
tense on the part of May in his transac-
ton, that he acted in good faith, as he
was the real owner of the cattle when he
sold his rights to Worden, that if there
was any fraud in the transaction it was
with Vernon in not delivering the cattle
TO Worden, as May had reason to e1pec:
that he would when he sold his rights to
Worden, and in selling them to other
parties without disanuulling the contract
with May, and the court ordered the
defendant discharged,

FUNERAL OF HOPE.

l have seen the funeral Of all my hopes,
And entombed them enc by one;
Not word was said,
Not tear was shed,
When the mournful task was done.
Slowly and sadly turned me round,
And sought my silent room;
And there alone,
BY the cold hearth-stone..
| wooed the midnight gloom.
And as the night, with deepening shade
Lowered above my brow,
wept Ger, days
When manhood's rays
Were brighter far than nowl
The dying embers ON the hearth
Gave out their Pickering light,
As if to say,
This is the way
Thy life shall close in night
wept aloud, in anguish sore,
Oer the blight Of prospects fair,
While demons laughed,
And eager quafied
Ny tears, like nectar rare.
Through hell's red hall an echo rang,
An echo loud and long,
As in the bowl
l plunged my couI
la the night of madness strong.
And there, within that sparkling glass
knew the cause to lie;
This all men own,
From zone to zone,
Yet millions drink and die. &.

INDIAN QUESTION.

The Indian question come to the front
with such frenqucncy that we cannot, if
we would, put it aside. The policy that
the government has determined upon in
its relations with the several tribes, will
in due time by its operations, demonstrate
whether or not the Indian is susceptible
Of high degree, or any degree Of civil
ization, and whether he can under any
given array Of circumstances shilt for
himself and hoe for his own row. 1t is
true that army officers have in several in.
stances caused many Of the tribe Of the
, tribes of the north west to enter upon
agricultural pursuits, and with most hap
ny results IF this can be done with q
few Indians, why, with proportionate Of
fort and larger outlay, can it not be done
with many who may be easily induced te
quit their roaming propensities and adopt
the habits and customs of those by whom
| they are surrounded
We cannot view the Indian point from
any other than humanitarian stand
point, and the government cannot afford
to treat the Indian or treat with him
for any other purpose than that Of amoli-
Grating and civilizing his condition.
These considerations forbid all thought
OF cxtefmination, however broadcast may
be that sentiment among the settlers up
on tie border. This we cannot do, for
I we have no right to do it, and the civil
| lied world with one accord would forbid
| it. But what we can do, and what we
ought to do, is to allot to every Indian,
bodily capable of performing labor, that
quantity Of land that would enable him
to produce his own subsistence. We
should furnish him, instead of his annui'
ties, his blankets, and his ammunition,
a suhieicncy of agricultural implements.
| and we should furnish him with instruc-
tions as to the art Of husbandry.
IF this is not practically what the In
terror or Department proposes to inaugu-
rate as a part OF its policy, it should not
be far from it, Added to this there is
no end te the possibilities that may ac-
rue, tending to the adoption of civil
lied state, by the establishment of schools
for the reception distinctiycly Of Indian
children, whose minds, when seized upon
in early chilhood, may be easily diverted
from the surrounding savagery. At all
events the experiment of compelling the
Indian to work, by Withholding his sup
plies, is one that cannot do harm, and
probably might result in infinite good.
The feasibility and the practicability Of
allotting land to the Indian in severalty,
is shown by the fact that the aggregate
Of their reservations would yield them
five hundred and seventy-five acres each
if divided equally among them; and of
course it is land that is susceptible Of the
| highest state Of cultivation.
