Sarah Bernhardt's entry into Rio de Janeiro was effected with more than her wonted eccentriclty. Elaborate arrangements had been made for her arrival. The Brazil ians and the French competed which should show her the greater distinction. Carriages were to be at her disposal on landing, and floral tributes were prepared in astounding abundance. But the great actress declined all these honors, and, instead of taking one of the boats sent to enable her to effect more speedy and dignified landing, she entered Brazil by the custom-house wharf. Whsn the other members of the company disembarked there was much ap- plause, and an enthusiastic wei come was offered to the su pposed tragedienne. But when the mis- take was discovered the mortified tion was quite as great as the en- thusiasm, and as freely expressed. The projected fete ended in a riot, the police were active and en- ergetic. and half dozen rioters were captured.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has announced to her intimate friends her permanent retirement from the literary world. "The author of Uncle Toms Cabin is no long CT the strong woman of a few years ago." says the Boston Trans cript, 'her constant watching by the bedside of her dying husband having practically shattered her health, as it has reduced the robust physical frame to merely a skele- ton. For more than eighteen months, with scarcely an inter ruption, has the affectionato wife remained at her husbands side, reading and singing to him as he fingers through the days and nights waiting for the end that is net far of. Mrs. Stowe is 75 years of age, and, although she retains a lively interest in the current events in order that she may grati- fy the desires of her invalid hus- band, the famous writer is content that her works done. The returns iron her work have fortunately placed her in comfortable circum- stances"

Saccharlne-The New Coal-Tar
 Sugar.

We have already made brief mention in tbis column of the dis covery Of new sweet principle which has been obtained from coal-tar, and which is said to be 23O times sweeter than cane sugar. The new principle has been nam ed saccharlne. It was discovered by c. Fahlberg, a German chemist, but for long time past a resident of this country. Its chemical name is benzoyl sulphonic imide. It presents the appearance of a white powder, and crystallizes from its aqueous solutions in short, thick prisms. Unlike sugar, it dis solves readily in alcohol. It melts at 200 degrees Centigrade. Its taste in largely diluted solutions is intensely sweet. One part will glVe very sweet taste to 10,O00 parts of water. When taken into the stomach in quantities in which itis added to produce the ordinary sweetness of sugar, it has no in furious effect whatever on the human system. It has been given to dogs in quantities equal to two and quarter pounds of sugar day, without producing any per ceptible i'll effect on the animal.
 It has been given to patients suffering from diabetes without their feeling any inconvenience from it's use. Physicians will no doubt be pleased to find sweet enlng substance by means of which diabetic persons may enjoy food that has heretofore not been ad- missible in their case.-Ex.
