The famous Bahia or Bendego
meteorite has been landed in Rio de
Jsneiro, and is now in the collection of
the Brazilian National Museum. The
transportation of this great mass of
iron. whose weight was variously esti-
mated from six to nine tons, and which
has been found to weigh 1891 kilo-
grams. was rendered possible by the
recent completion of a line of railroad
passing within 115 kilometers of the
Bendego Greek, where it has lain since
the unsuccessful attempt to remove it

United States District Attorney Bashaw
has filed twelve suits against Harry A.
Smidt, a leading st. Louis tailor, for the
sum of $1,000 each, the cause being the
alleged violation of the United States law
forbidding the importation of contract
labor. The suits will be interesting be-
cause. taking them as one, they are the
third of the kind under the contract labor
statutes passed by the Forty eighth con-
gress. The two previous cases were one
in New York. q mi lister brought from
England to Trinity church; the second a
small case in Philadelphia. and this trial
will he the first real test the statute has
ever had. One Of the charges is that Smidt
imported Peter Loewall, who arrived in
st. Louis April 2, 1886. Tho others are
for the importation of eleven journeymen
%tailo.s. wno arrived here July 81, 1883.
Smidt denies that he has violated tho law,
but admits that he advanced passage
money to the men who came over because
they had no funds and Ia needed work
men. The cases are returnable at the
September term of court.

the funeral of the millionaire atheist,
Courtlandt Palmer, remarks: Court
landt Palmer died peacefully, ~serenely,
and quietly, but not hopefully. He
had q good mans life behind him, but
absolutely nothing ahead of him ex-
cept the little urn that will hold his
ashes when the crematory fire has done
its work. His resignation lacked the
quality of triumph which sometimes
transtigures the experience of Chris
tians. He won no victory owe death,
but surrendered to it as to superior
strength. His was an ideal stoi.is III, u
magnificent defiance of the inevitable,
%unclleered by n glimmer of faith in the
future, u brave but eternal farewell to
earth, home, friends, lifc-everytlling.
And when Col. Ingcrsoll TUNED to the
coffin with the pathetic words: ",The
world is Drawer for your life; the world
il Drawer for your death. We loved
you living, and we love you now," he
fell into an inconsistency which it is al
most impossible to avoid. We love
you now? Why, there is no you" to
love, if your creed is true. You u
not love what is not, and that honor
able man is not, he has disappeared,
has been snutied ont like the flame of
a candle. You may delight in his
memory, but You can not love him, fol
there is no him" tolove. We estimate
a theory, in our secular fashion, accord
ing to the resultsit will produce. With
great respect. therefore, for the atheism
of Palmer and Ingersoll, We should he
