Better Stock Cars,

This issue of the Record contains a y
letter from Walter C. Weldon, of Kansas
City to the Albuquerque Journal, giving
an account Of recent shipment Of Ari-
zona cattle in the Burton stock cars,
which will be read with interest BY
stockmen generally. It is really sur
prising that in such an era of progress
the stock car Of forty years ago Is now in
general use, this too, in the face of the
fact that they have never been anything
but cruel contrivances, which served no
other or better purpose than to merely
hold stock on the track until the train
reached its destination. The railroads
have discouraged any innovation on the
old method, mainly, of course, on account
Of the large amount Of money already
invested in the old-time style Of cars,
and for the further reason TINT railroad
companies, as rule. are very slow to
adopt any invention which adds. any
thing to their expense account. We be-
lieve. however, that the death knellS Of
the old stock car has been sounded at
last, and that better facilities must and
will be furnished to shippers Of live
stock. Where competing lines are striy-;
ing to obtain live stock shipments, in
stead Of monkeying with tho tariff and.
rebate system, improved cars will be-
offered to the shipper. This will com.
pei other lines to do likewise, and when
once the revolution begins it viii spread
like a prairie FIRE and improved cars will
be the rule. IS .y5.5, 5.s..5l
The Burton car is an undoubted sue
cess and is practically q live stock sleep
ing and dining car. The only reason
why It is not generally adopted at sight
is the great cost Of its construction; but
when the railroads generally signify their
willingness to take a step forward in the
matter, Yankee ingenuity Will provide
something satisfactory to both the ship
per and the railroads, which can be built
for a sum not greater than the purpose
jhstifes. The killed and maimed cattle
together with the shrinkage directly
chargeable to the poorly fashioned stock
cars, have reduced the profits of tie
range cattlemen millions Of dollars, and
now that the time has arrived when In
telligence and care for the details must
be observed in the range cattle business,
the question Of better shipping facilities
Is one that demands careful attention,
Land there can be no doubt Of success il
there Is unity Of action among the cow

The sheepmen have steadily clamored
for double-decked cars, and although the
railroad companies positively set them.

An American Colony In Brazil.

Gen. ii. Clay Armstrong, Consul
General to Brazil. recently gave an in
teresting account of the condition OF
the colony of southerners who went to
Brazil just after the war and who have
been a sort of lost tribe ever since.
"These people" said Gen Armstrong,
"believed that the south could not re-
cover from the effects of the war, and
that the people who participated in the
war would never be recognized i'm the
reconstructed union. They accordingly
gathered together their household goods
and departed. found them situated
400 miles from Rio Janeiro i'm the back
country. They have tract about tif-
teen miles square. Col. w. III. Norris,
who was quite a prominent man in
Alabama and who was ut one time a
member of the general assembly, is one
of the leading men of the colony.
also met Dr. G. c. Crisp, very accom-
plishcd man from Tennessee. There
are now about five hundred people all
told in the colony"
''Do they hold slaves?"
"Some of them do. | advised them
to get rid of their slaves, however, and
told them that even in Brazil slavery
will soon pass away. l explained how
the United States had advanced since
the war, and they were very much as
tonished when l told them that | would
fight before l would permit slavery to
be again established in my own State. ="
What are these people mostly en-
gagged imp"
"They are making good deal of
money raising watcrmelons. These are
very large and exceedingly good. The
BraZilians had never raised any, but
buy them readily, and are very fond of
except raise coffee. The Americans are
engaged also in the production of cot
ton, and this finds ready market as
the mills that have been started in the
empire prefer it TO any other. They are
in a general way quite prosperous, but
they need schools. | shall take back
some school teachers with me if posi-
BILE.
Does the younger generation speak
good English?n
''Well, it is getting rather inferior
and somewhat mixed. The older men,
bers of the colony take some papers
from the United States, and found
that they had kept n general run
of what was going on here. They seem
to be proud that they are Americans,
and only in one or two instances have
they become naturalized subjects of the
Brazilian empire.
HAS the Brazilian empire yet large
tracts of uninhabited lands?"
millions of acres, with nothing but
monkeys and parrots upon them. At
the request of the minister of public
lands | shall furnish them our plan of
conducting the public-land business"

A Robbers Pretty Acconplices.

A few days ago in Cincinnati q young
gentleman with a pretty girl on each
arm had his watch carried of in Il
crowd by Il piekpocket. The fellow
snatched 1t out by lis delicate gold chain
and made off with il before the Young
gentleman had chance to free his own
hands. Before the watch was fairly out
OF his pocket he realized the situation
and tried to disengage himself But TIE
girls clung to his arms and cried, "Donit
g. he'll kill your
Let me gor' commanded the robbed
man. "You sha'n't," chorused the girls,
and absolutely hung such deadweights
to him that he could not get away to
stop the thief. They held fast to his
wrists and sbrieked until two gentlemen
in the crowd took him by the collar,
thinking that he must be trying TO rob
the young ladies. He may be pardon
cd for some very strong expressions of
disgust at the behavior of the girls If
they had the sense and courage Co
pounce upon the thief rs they did upon
their escort they might have helped save
the watch instead of helping lose it by
their silliness.-BOSton Record.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonics
OF Il severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia orsciatica, and relief comes, it seems as
if new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlopho.os and
found to their great JOY that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
August 10th, 1886.
Louis Schmidt, harness maker at Water
town, Wis, said to our correspondent,
"While ] cannot say Athlophoros has
cured me of my rheumatism, it has been a
great benefit and has relieved me very
much. j have been subject to the rheu-
matism for the past six years; many times
afflicted so that i could not work. / first
used Athlophoros about three months ago
and experienced very quick relief. used
in all about six bottles" Where did you
first learn of this medicine was asked?
at was recommended to me through Mr..
Edwards use, farmer living about ten
miles from here; he was much worse than
me. Used only three bottles and was com
pletely cured. consider it the best medi-
cine ever used and expect to use more of

luphoros from the time of its first in

satisfactory results. l call to mind one
case in particular Of a young lady afflicted
with rheumatism who had been treated by
our hest physicians unsuccessfully, but who
obtained relief by using Athlophoros upon
my recommendation. 4 have no hesitation
in prooouncing it specific in most cases
of rheumatism and neuralgia.
