Slavery in Brazil.

Slavery had more of rdiso11 Tetre in
Brazil than it had in the United States,
says j. G. in the Salt Lake Herald.
Africa and Brazil are comparatively
near, and are alike in climate. The
latter being at a great distance from
Europe, it was more necessary for her
than it was for the American colonies
to draw her supplies of labor from her
neighbOr. There were no horrors of
the slave trade while the slave trade
was permitted. 1t was for the inter-
est of the carriers to make the passage
of the negroes as comfortable as the
method of ventilation then known aud
the supply of wholesome food would
permit. 1t was only when the trade
was declared contraband that the ves-
sells were overcrowded. and as the risk
was understood to be the loss of half
of the ships, the poor devils were more
closely confined. Under the old sys-
tenn cargOes were landed in such good
order that the slaves seemed to have
actually enjoyed their trip. Under the
illicit proceeding l once saw three
fourths of a cargo brought into an out
port in a wretched condition, and the
captain-he was an American, who
| afterwards became a merchant in New
York-told me that he had made a very
| successful voyage, as he had fed only
one-fourth of his passengers to the
| sharks.
Curiously, the negroes themselves
have been among the principal slave
owners of Brazil. There are negroes
and negroes. One class came from a
locality in the gulf of Benin. They are
different from the Congoes and other
debased tribes. The men are of stall
wart frames and intelligent minds; the
women of pleasing countenance with
| figures like Venus de Medici in ebony,
and they walk even under their burdens,
like queens. Prof. Agassiz once said
to me at Rio de Janeiro: 1.-The Nina
negress is the finest specimen of q
natural woman that have ever seen" !"
| The people of this tribe were first
brought over as slaves, but they soon
came to be slave-owners. They be-
came also ship-Owners and merchants,
and drove a lucrative trade with
Africa in negroes and in merchandise.
They have crossed with the Portuguese
blood, as all the other negroes have
done; but the Nina cross is by far the
best, and it can scarcely be considered
deterioration. This miscegenation
has gone so far that many years ago
when it was proposed, in taking the
census of the empire, to classify the
whites and blacks it was found i'm
possible to determine the color line.

The First Liar has no Chance.

In the early days Kline's ranch, in
southwestern Colorado, was a famous
stopping place for the stage-coaches,
and there was always a goodly (and
somewhat diversified) assemblage of
travellers around the tireside every
evening. One evening tourist, who
had been devoting the summer to trout
fishing in the Cimarron, was telling
some pretty good-sized fish stories to a
long-haired frontiersman, who, while
listening, was evidently studying how
he might "see" the tourist and ''raise
him" on the size of his yarn. The
tourist ended. The frontiersman shifted
his quid of tobacco to the other cheek,
and said: 'Well, mister, them was
pretty good-sized trout We caught; but,
Lord! We should ha' bin with me up at
the mouth of the Columby, in Oregon.
Why, we used to ketch salmon there
every mOrnin' that would run all the
way from ninety to a hundred and
fifty pounds"
| For moment the tourist was silent,
then, looking sadly at the triumphant
frontiersman he said: MY friend,
don't doubt your story in the least. On
the contrary, believe it fully and i'm,
plicitly. will only remark that my
experience has taught me that in Colo

The Squeezing Point.

At the recent Mexican Legation ball.
General Greedy. grave, sedate and dig
pitied as if on dress parade, stood talk

in Washington society. The latter,
suddenly shifting her position, struck
the Chief of the Signal Bureau with
her fan playfully upon the arm and ex-
claimed with pretty blush: speaking
about the weather, General, answer me
this: If thirty-tYo above zero is the
freezing point, what; pray is the
squeezing .pOint?" General Greely,
who is one of the most modest men
living. replied with some embarrass-
ment that he did not know, and then
he added, ''Do yOu?" ''Why, certain

Scenes in Coal Regions.

The homes of many coal-miners in
Pennsylvania are said to be dirty, and
no larger than ordinary goat-sheds, so
poyerty-stricken are the laborers.
Most miners in Pennsylvania coal
regions are foreigners, and are pro-
nounced to be specimens of the lowest
types of humanity. Women and
children are subjected to barbarous
cruelty by those acquaintances whom
they number as friends.
The children born in the mining
regions either grow up to be criminals
and assassins or are killed before they
grow up by their drunken fathers and
brothers. The Pennsylvania laws pro-
vide fair schools for them, but their
parents are SO poor that they can't
send their offspring to them.
Miners are never paid for their SER
vices in cash. The companies they
work for own all the stores and houses.
and their employees are compelled to
buy at the prices the capitalists nix.
These estimates are usually extortion-
ate. The food furnished is the poorest,
but the poor miners are unable to re-
move to another place, as the checks In
which they are paid are good only al
their employers stores.

Regretted His Charity.

An editor on his way home night be-
fore last met one of those homeless un-
fortunates of the canine race with
which the Pittsburg streets are always
we'll supplied, and said some trifiing
word of kindness to it. This struck
the cur as extraordinary-for home
less ours expect curses and kicks and
precious little else-that it insisted on
| sticking close to the newspaper man
until he reached home, and the latter
hadn't the heart to send it away.
The dog can do no harm in one
night" said he to himself, land the
children want dog for a playmate.
| Tll give the beast nights lodging at
all events"
So the cur, which was of no particular
breed, not over eight inches high, with
black coat and white patch on its
nose. was allowed to enter the house
When the editor got up early yester-
day morning the first thing he heard
was racket in the lower part of the
house, which was only comparable to
that made by the animals in circus
about dinner time. There were yells
by the score, and crashes as of falling
| chinaware, and now and then the
| snappy bark of dog.
The bark reminded him of the cur he.
had taken in.
THAT blessed dog is having picnic
down stairs" he said.
He was right. The dog was having
no end of good time. So were the
children. So were not the furniture,
the curtains and the carpets in the par
lor.
When the editor got down stairs he
met the dog running at full tilt through
the hall and back again into the par
lor, where two usually demure little
| girls were also rushing about trying to
initiate the unbridled antics of the mis-
guided dog. 1t took some minutes to
| partially restore order and tie up the
dog.
The following is an exact account
of the damage done-the editor found
his reportoriai experience of service in
ascertaining the facts:
ALI of the skin off one nose belong

over the dog on the gravel path.
Tops of choice selection of pam
sizes, just planted in the yard. chewed
