A Brazilian Swell.

azilan titles are not hereditary, but
for three generations the descendants of
noblemen are entitled to the appellation
of "mosa 1idalgo," or young gentle
man. and enjoy the rights and privi-
lcges of their noble progcnitors. These
privileges consist mainly of being allowed
by law to ''put on more style" than or
dinary individuals. If ''mosa tidalgo"
wants to enter the army he can do SO as
a cadet, and is entitled to wear a star on
bis coat sleeve. When he goes to the
palace he can wear his hat until he comes
into the presence of the Emperor, and
while ordinary officers have to hitch up
their swords before entering the Imperial
portals, he can go in with his weapon
jansling and humping along the marble
floors. This privilege of wearing
hat in the house and
making a racket in the Emperors
presence is highly priced by the youth of
Brazil. Then, too, a ''mosa tidalgo"
cannot he arrested except by special
warrant from some high official-fs have
forgotten which onc-and when he goes
on ''racket' and breaks street lamps
and swindows the police cannot arrest him
! and the police Justice does not give him
lecture with his fine the next morning.
Instead of that he is arrested with solemn
pomp and long warrant, and is confined
in the Place of Honor in the prison.
When IL '"mosa fidalgo" leaves the coun-
try he goes to the palace and says ''good
bye to the Emperor, and that monarch,
awfully bored, graciously permits him to
purchase ticket by the first steamer
But III order to enjoy all these great priv
ilcges one must not only be a ''mosa fl
! dalgo" kaAt must take out a patent as
such. Then he can have the title printed
! on his visiting cards and is a recognized
swell. ". \. Trib,He.

Strangled by an Octopus.

An AnfcricaE travelling in Europe
about ten years ago observed IN the gay
t--s asscrnblies.o of Paris and Vienna. and in
the gamG;Irq halls at Monaco, Mr.. g.,
one of his fellow cGsntrymen, a scholarly,
grave man, whose tastes and pursuits III

and research
''What can bring him night after night
to such places, He looks utteiig wretch,
ed the stranger asked of an American
official
''Iie IS The victim Of an octopus" was
the 5estina reply. "Iiis wife is one OF

of his soul, precisely as the devil-fsh
would out of his body. Mrs c.
chooses to live fast, dissipated life, and
she forces her husband to indulge her in
it By her incessant caresscs and pro.ssta-
tions of affection"
A year later Mr. C+- became bank
rupt, and soon after lost his reason, and
after a few months he died. American
correspondents writing home stated that
the cause was unknown, as his domestic
relations were most happy. But those
who knew him best, said that he had
been "stified by an octopus"
Lavater declared that each human face
bore likeness to some animal, and also
indexed the character; thus-that We
found in some men the features and quail
itlcs of the lion. the mastitf, af the wolf;
an,! in some women those of the rabbit,
the dove. the COW, or tho serpent
If we follow out this whimsical fancy,
we may class many human beings with
the clammy, bloodless octopus. They
