VICTORIES OF PEACE.

Incompatible Cost OF Revolutions to the
Spanish-Amcrican Republics.
How costly and demoralizing to the
industries of 4 country are civil com.
motions is clearly sLo WI in the recenr
message of President Terra to the
Uruguyan Congress. In order to cover
the deficit caused by the recent revolu.
tion the Government Is forced to ISSUE
an internal loan for S2.OOO,OOO, and
largely to increase customs tariff. The
annual revenue of the Republic is about
S12,0O0,00O and there is an existing
debt of some S6O,O0O,O)O so that the
deficit noted is a serious matter for
the Government. The increase of
customs duties must diminish importa-
tiOn, and so there is likely to be a re-
duction in the total customs receipts,
or at least no perceptble augmenta-
ton. What the cost of revolutions has
been to the Spanish-American Repub-
lies of this hemisphere it would be diff
ficult to compute. If We take into
consideration not merely the pecuniary
expenditure-the smallest part in fact
but the loss through the retarding CT
material development. it will be seen
that thousands of millions of dollars
will barely express the fact. Peace.
such as Mexico is now enjoying. and
has enjoyed for Il long term of years,
is of inestimablc value. Under the
influence of this profound peace not
less than $15O.OO0,OOO in foreign capi-
tai has been invested here Ga high au-
thOrity says (S20O. 600. .0OW, not sin
gle dollar of which would have been
placed in this country had civil strife
been prevalent. The national wealth
is to-day increasing at rate little
suspected by those who are unaware
OF the improvements being introduced
on the haciendas by enterprising pro-
prietors and in mining operations by
their managers. We regard the present
condition of affairs in this country as
highly encouraging. and also as gratify-
ing from the standpoint of the most ex-
acting patriotism. Ten years more of
profound internal peace and Mexico
will have increased its aggregate
wealth by at least billion of dollars.
II, in the meantime, immigration is
encouraged. the country will have so
grown in physical strength as to be in
much better condition to resist
foreign aggression. When the passions
and irritatiOns of the moment shall
have passed away it will be clearly
discerned by all thoughtful minds that
the country has every thing to gain by
maintaining public order. After the
civil commotion of nearly seventy
years, the Nation demands period of
repOse, a chance to take breath and
pursue the arts of peace. War hath its
victories. but those of peace endure.
With material welfare will come nation
al strength and dignity. Mexico must
be aided by the combined efforts of all
her sons to win the race into which the
great republics of South America have
entered, that for the supremacy in
Spanish-American civllization.-Meri-

TWO BRAVE SCOUTS.

Successful Expedition.

Kit Carson and Cooley Go on q Bold and
Successful Expedition.
In the afternoon of the next dav a
war-whoop was heard, such as Indians
make when returning from a victori-
Gus enterprise, and soon Carson and
Cooley appeared. driving before them
band of horses, recognized by Fuen-
ties to be part of those they had lost.
Two bloody scalps dangling from the
end of Godeys gun announced they
had overtaken the Indians as well as
the horses. They informed us that
after Fueutes left them, from the fail
ure of his horse, they continued the
pursuit alone, and toward nightfall en-
tered the mountains into which the
trail led. After sunset the moon gave
light, and they followed the trail by
moonshine until late in the night, when
it entered narrow de.;le and was diff
ficult to follow. Afraid of losing it
in the darkness of the defile, they tied
up the horses, struck no fire, and lay
down to sleep in silence and in dark
ness. Here they lay from midnight
till morning. At daylight they re-
sumed the pursuit. and about sunrise
discovered the horses, and Immediate
ly dismounting and tying up their
own. they crept cautiously to a rising
ground which intervencd, from the
crest of which they perceived the en-
campment of four lodges close by.
They proceeded quietly and got within
thirty or forty yards of their object,
when movement among the horses
discovered them to the Indians. Civ
ing the war shout, they instantly
charged into the camp, regardless of
the number which the four lodges
would imply.
The Indians received them with
flight Of arrows from their long bows.
one of which passed through Godey's
shirt cola, barely missing the neck.
Our men fired their rifles upon steady
aim and rushed in. Two Indians were
stretched on the ground fatally pierced
with bullets. The rest fled, except a
lad, who was captured. The scalps of
the fallen were instantly stripped of,
but in the process one of them, who
had two balls through his body, sprang
to his feet, the blood streaming from
his skinned head. and uttered hideous
howl. An old squaw, probably his
mother, stopped and looked back from
the mountain side she was climbing,
threatening and lamenting. The fright
full spectacle appalled, the stout hearts
of our men: but they did what human !

Good Qualities Which Should Re Devel-

In training children in good man.
ners. mothers often mistake an over
flow of spirits-a natural playfulness
of healthy childhood rudeness. and
in subduing and correcting these
seeming faults, rob the little ones of
wholesome exercise and q large share
of the sunshine of their lives. There
is time for playing. and even noisy
outdoor sports, that develop the young
muscles and strengthen the fast grow
ing bodies, aud children should not be
deprived of this privilege of their child
hood. The essential things to be
taught them in play is to respect each
others rights. to protect the weak
and to be fair even in their sports.
Moral courage sboold be cultivated in
children by teaching them ALWAYS to
say boldly and do bravely what they
believe is true and right, regardless of
consequences. There is something
knightly in the heart of every boy
something helpful and womaniy in the
heart of every girl" and these quail
ties should be developed The sympa-
tiles of children are quickly aroused,

FORBIDDEN FRUIT.

My faithful dog-his actions fairly talk
Gamboled about me on our morning walk,
And being frivolous, for he was young,
Pursued. with flying feet aud noisy tongue:
The circling birds that skinned along the
ground,
And Knocked with whistles shrill the baying
hound.
He snapped at flies, slow buzzing in the air,
And chased the chirping crickets here and
there:
At length with sudden leap, in merry play,
He caught hornet, passing by that way,
And let him go again, and moaned and
sighed,
And scraped his jaws along the ground and
cried,
And shouted Fire." as a dog might shout
And ran before the wind, and put about,
And shrfeked, and gnawed the trees, and
snapped and rolled.
PAINTED and shivered, as with heat and cold,
And would not frisk, nor laugh, nor bound,
nor play,
And was not happy any more that day:
'Alas." said. 'hOw many times have
Caught at some Rauzy pleasure passing by,
And thought -" but here we reached the
spot
Where all that hornets family lived, and 1
forgot
Just what thought and what sought to
say.
In one tumultuous rush to get away.

The Donnn,s Dolls.

III
II the Brazilian girl does not marry at
the age when she ought to be playing
with her dolls, she frequently continues
to play with her dolls until she does
marry. A writer in the Brooklyn Maga-
zine remembers seeing a young woman
apparently about is years of age
in a street car in the City
of Bahia with a doll in her lap,
which she cared for and handled the
same as a little girl would do, and it is
40 unusual thing for young married
women to own and play with these and
similar fixtures of the nursery. One
young woman named Marie had five or
six dolls, upon whose garments she
spent much of her time. When she mar
ried she insisted npon taking them to
her new home and when this home be-
came invaded by less tractablc babies she
was finally obliged to bury her inanimate,
quondam friends, with all their finery.

TIE Cup that Cheers.

Whether it is because of the presenA
mania for everything English r not, it
is hard to say, but without doubt the
fashionable drink of the day here, as in
England, is tea. It is said to be a more
healthful drink than coffee, which, with
Americans, has heretofore had the pref
erence, as it is more refreshing, less heat
ing, and very restorative, and, too, has
the advantage of being so much more
easily made. It is unquestionably the
drink for brainworkers, and women who
are exhausted with the laborious duties
of social life find it a delightful stimulus,
whereas coffee has the effect of making
them feel dull and heavy. Tea is now
served in the drawing-room during an
afternoon or evening reception, and is
certainly found grateful to those suffer
ng from the fatigue incident to warm,
crowded rooms. At fashionable lunch
cons, garden parties, and afternoon en-
treatments Of any kind whatever at a
private house tea is the fayorite and fash
ionable beverage.-Chicago Herald.
