after, in October, 1875. Thus for some
years the former was looked upon by
Dom Pedro himself as probably the fu-
ture occupant of his throne; and his
unusually fine presence and winning
manners, with his hearty sympathy
in the intellectual pursuits of his grand
father, made him a favorite alike with
the emperor and the people, while since
the death of his mother he has seemed
especially dear to Dom Pedro. Perhaps
were he able to hand the sceptre to this
young prince, who, having just passed
his twenty-second year, is quite capable
of welding it, he would be tempted to
resign the cares of the throne, which
he has occupied for nearly half a CEN
fury, exclusive of his previous reign
under guardianship, and devote himself
to travel, study, and the reparation of
his health.
However, affairs hrve gone on quietly
during the princess regents sway. One
change of ministry has occurred and
there have been business adversities,
which, however, are not traceable to-
political causes. Still with the marked
ability or taste for statecraft on the part
of Princess label, her accession to the
throne as sovereign would give BRAZIL
ian politics a phase of uncertainty. The
restoration of Dom Pedro to health and
his continuance on the throne must be
the ardent desire of the Brazilians. Els

Guiding the period of the regency, sur

and makes hin senior among the sove-
reigns. From the outset he attracted
attention by his progressive ways.

An Australian Snake Story.

Australian Under the Cross: In
family of n settler who resided some
half a league from Parametta was an
invalid daughter of an extremely nery-
Gus temperament.
She was sleeping one summer after
noon in a hammock swung between two
supporting standards in the shade OF
the piazza, when she was suddenly
awakened by feeling something cold
and most ~clinging about her throat.
She put her hand to the spot and
clasped the body of a snake just back of
the head and with a Mortified cry,
wrenched with all her strength to pull
it away. This vas the first instructive
action of the moment, but so great was
her terror hat she speedily lost all
consciousness of the situation.
Her hand, however, still grasped the
snake where she had first seized upon il
and with such a ~convulsive force that
the creature was rendered ~powerlesst
The cry of the terrified girl brought
the father from within the house, who
instantly came to her relief; but in the
fit which her fright had induced her
hand slowly contracted about the crea-
lures throat with a force which she
could not possibly have exerted when
awake and before her fingers were un-
clasped by the aid of a bit Of hammock
cord the reptile was completely
s%trangled.
Fortunately the ca eature had not bit
ten the girl before she seized it, and
after it was unable TO do so. 1t is said
to have been four feet long and of a
poisonous species.

Posing On The Thames.


The girls who punted looked abnormally
tall, and every one of them appeared grace
full. Whether they all were SO or not, can
not venture to assert, as 1t Is just possible
that there may be something in the upright
attitude and the movements of the arms u.s.
ing the long pole that may tend toward the
illusion. You must have read all about the
different boats in the daily papers, but one
that have not seen mentioned appeared to
me to be particularly noticeable. It was q
large gig covered with crimson awning, and
steered by girl in huge white sun bonnet
with very high crown, like that on a Nor
man cap. In the centre sat lady in sim-
liar head-gear and with her was a child. The
whole picture was obviously got up for effect,
for the figures never altered their attitude for
an instant.
I laughed unto tears at the figures of some
of the men. OF especially, who stalksd
about on the Isthmian lawn wonld have been

were to us. Dressed in white fannels and
tan shoes, he had donned a long ulster az
protection against the westher, and the pit.

strated clearly the public the relative merits OF the

amount of leavening gas and therefore the most

YRsTERDAY,s CONVENTION.

YESTERDAYS CONVENTION.
The Republican State convention was thor
oughlY harmonious and enthusiastic. It did
its work we'll and laid good foundation for
the campaign which there is good reason to
believe will result in Republican victory.
The Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley, the nomi-
nee for governor, la well known throughout
the State. He received the great compliment
of nomination by acclamation. Mr.. Bulk
slsy is we'll fitted for the of6cs for which he
has been nominated. During his long ser"
vice "a mayor of Hartford he showed execu-
tive ability of high order. he il thor
oughly acquainted with the affairs and the
needs of the State. He has great ability and
great tact. He Is. deservedly popular. His
Incorporating honesty, his frankness and
neutrality-suspicious. and his friendliness have
won him the respect and the friendship of
thousands all over the State. And his
friends are by no means confined to his own
party The nomination is strong one, and
will materially help the national ticket. Mr..
Bulkeley has many friends whose political
activity will be greatly stirred by his nomi-
nation, and they will work for him and the
re1A of the ticket with q vim which will bring
good results.
The nominee for Lieutenant-Governor,
General Samuel e. Merwin, is 30 well known
to our readers that little need be said con-
oerning him. His great popularity here and
elsewhere will make itself felt The rest of
the ticket was skillfully made up, with a due
regard to the slocality" argument. Ex-Sen-
ator R. J. Walsh, of Greenwich, the nomi-
nee for Secretary of State, will bring strength
to the ticket. The Hon. E. s. Henry, of
Vernon, the nominee for Treasurer, is well
itted for this important Office, and the selee-
ton Of Mr.. John B. Wright, of Clinton, for
Comptroller was q wise one The ticket as a
whole is q strong one, and one which can be
heartily and enthusiastically worked for.
The resolutions adopted deserve special
commendation. They are not as long as
Presidents or Mayors message. They are
| brief, plain and pointed. They approve the
Chicago platform, denounce free trade and q
tariff for revenue only, call attention to what
the Republican party in this State has done
for temperance, pledge the party to such adj
ditionll temperance legislation as is needed,
favor a secret ballot, free suffrage and an
honest count, speak q good word for the
veteran soldiers and sailors, and commend
the present State officers and those who have
been nominated to succeed them.
1t II good start. And she prospect Il
good that with faithful work the ticket vii
be elected.

sleigh bells mean perfectly tuned sets of

system of producing musical notes from
stones or pieces of metal suspended from q
frame. In China there is found in gullies
and ravines peculiar stone which they call
'yu.' This stone Is highly esteemed by the
Chinese, as it has beautiful color, retains a
high polish, gives out the most beautiful
musical sound, and is not affected by heat,
cold or change in the atmosphere. As I am
interested in the subject I have made q
study of 1t and find that 1000 B. G. this ma
ton had an instrument made of sixteen of
these stones hung upon = frame. These
stones were attuned to Chinese intervals
called 'lu,' of which there were twelve in the
compass of an octave. This instrument was
played by striking the stones with wooden
mallet. It was called 'ksig,' and by the
Chinese was regarded as sacred and was
played In their religious ceremonies and to
the Emperor when he was walking in the
morning. The Chinese were also the inyen-
tors of staff bells, which they called fhien-
tchung.' their name for bell being ttchuns.,'
