editing all bulletins but the account
which they choose to publish runs
as follows. On Friday, the 10Th
inst, the garrison Of Rio Janelro.
numbering SIX thousand men, broke
into open revolt, and was followed
by the Fleet, which dominates the
capital. Marshal Theodore da Fon-
G the Commander in-Chief, nom
mated a Provisional Government,
chiefly OF journalists, who issued a
manifesto aboIishing Monarchy and
declaring a Republic while he
himself proceeded to Petropolls, the
country, seat where the Emperor and
his family were residing and here
a strange scene occurred. The sick
lv Emperor refused to abdicate !; but
on the receipt Of a draft on the
Treasury for G5OO, 900, all opposition
vanished, and the whole Imperial
family went on board a steamer,
which Immediately started for Lis
bon. Marshal da FOnseCa returned
to Rio, and with his colleagues drew
up a proclamation abolishing the
Council of State and the Senate,
dissolving the Chamber, and sum
moning the twenty-One provinces to
send up delegates to make a Constl-
tuition. They are not, however, to
be entirely Independent, tor the
Provisional Government has in adj
vance decreed that. the form OF the
new system Shall be that OF a
Federal Republic, aud that the suH-
rage shall be universal. AS Brazil
is a medley Of colours, varying from
persons as white rs Portuguese are,
to savage Negroes, the latter decree
is a most audacious experiment. No
one has apparently been kllleo, and
all the provinces, even Bahia, are
said to have adhered to the revoIu-
ton but, we repeat, nothing IS
known except what Marshal da
Fonseca chooses should be reported.
We have elsewhere given our view
of the causes aud probable results
of this extraordinary revolution.
The people of BAIL offer the grca-
test example in existence Of what
Radicals consider the pestiIent
monopoly of land. Their country
covers m area, for the most part
cullurable, of 100000 English
square miles, or 8irteon TINES the
area of France, which may be taken
at 100000 square miles. This IN,
conceivably rich possession, with all
climates, all minerals, and almost
all products, actual or potential, is
occupied by a people who, counting
Blacks. Indians, and German and
Italian immigrants, may number
thirteen millions, -or say three
times the population OF London.
Describing Blacks, Indians, and
immigrants as really passive citizens,
the Brazi!ians are less than double
the Belgians; and scarcely a million
even of these, ii so many, are OF
pure European extraction. Their

spectator, 18th November.

The Times correspondent at Vi
ennn forwarded on Wednesday an
immensely long telegram about Bull
garia, IN which, as we read II, he
is trying TO convey something he
does moi exactly like to say. His
information is clearly official, and
appears to amount to this: that
Prince Bismarck, in his tintervlew
with the Gar, in order to conciliate
him, agreed TO allow Russia to re-
establish her influence in Bulgaria
according to the Treaty Of Berlin"
and that he is pressing Austria
Hungary to follow the same policy,
and refrain from "%favouring" the
existing Administration in Sofia.
Prince Ferdinand is never to be
recognised, and Bulgarian Loans are
no longer to be issued by Viennese
firms. This IS rather serious TOR
the Austrian Government, as we'll
as for that of Bulgaria, Tie Emper-
or Of Austria wants to show his
Hungarian subjects that the German
alliance is not one-Sided, as many OF
them say, but permits him to follow
their steady policy Of resisting Rus
sia ; and to be obliged 10 concilIa'e
Russia because of the alliance will
be CALLING. Moreover, Prince Fer
dinand who is sometimes very sick
of his positiOn-he has got ten Bis
marcks rolled into one for a Premier,
a man boiling over with energy and
domineeringness-may abdicate, and
then Russia may make a determined
effort for supremacy in the Prince
pality. The correspondent ends with
the words :-"It is vain to dis
guise that the maintenance Of peace
under the new conditions must depend
10 some extent on the action which
NJ. Stambouloff the Bulgarian Pre-
mierI may tnke." This is, under the
conditions Of that telegram, a 0ery
serious remark.

Men often complain Of the tyranny
of weakness, but we do not know if
the tyranny of ignorance is not
sometimes worse. The Lamas who
govern Tibet cannot believe that the
Indian Government is stronger than
they, and besides claiming the
Indian half of Sikkim, which is not
theirs, though the other half is, they
have actually sent a force into Gurh-
wal, which they DO not claim, IN
order to tax traders crossing the
Nit Pass. Goorkhas have been
sent to destroy the outpOsts, and the
Lamas will doubtless send another
force to punish us. We may yet
have to send an expedition to Lhassa
TO establish peace, though 1T will not
be done until every other means has
failed. Nobody wants war in the
clouds, where victory can bring moth
ing but the status quo. The whole
business is an odd illustration of the
advantages of lntercommunIcotlon.
The Tibetans would never think of
US if we could keep out our goods
but the Indian tea is creeping
through the passes, and the Lamas,
whose private l~uxuries come from
their monopoly of Chinese ten, are
ready to risk anything rather than
suffer Assam OF the Doyrah to un-
dersell them in their own villages.

FAMOUS VICTORY.

The voting yesterday resulted in the up- holding of Law and Order by big majority. It also gave Free Speech @ tremendous in- arth and Adler an abundant entrance into the very exclusive and somewhat secret board of education The vote was not as large ss some enthusiasts hoped it would be, but it was large enough to show that there was real interest in the election.
 The most prominent issue before the vot- CTS was the free text book idea. It is evi- dent that 1t meets public approval, and the vote of yesterday is sufficient to warrant the board of education in taking steps to intro- duce the free book system here if it can find law enough, and if it can't it might ask the advice of some good lawyers. But the free text book issue was not all that brought out yesterdays vote. The feeling is more general than perhaps the members of the board have known that there has been too much extrava- gance, secrecy and untairness in the manage ment of the school business. There has been an impression that something very like what is known as ring has existed in the board, and that there have been too many arbitrary proceedings for which no good reasons were given or could be discovered by careful and persistent inquiry. In short
 the people have felt that change was need cd, and they have done their part toward
 making it by yesterday's vote.
 We do not suppose chat the new member
 of the board need any telling that thei
 course will be sharply watched by those wh'
 elected them. Notwithstanding the repeated
 assertions of the bowling advocates of Lay and Order, it is not expected that the nev members will enter the board and immedi ately proceed to make confusion and anar chy. But it is expected that they will d. their best to keep out of the rut into whic the members of the board have been 8 prone to fall. It is expected that they vii | do their best to have the school money wise | ly and carefully used. And it is expeote ! that they will treat the public in accordano | with the right of the public to know what done by the board. They have good OF portunity to win public approval, and "
 believe they are wise and we'll meanin enough to justify their election.

 A millionaire of Scranton, Pennsylvania, has peculiar habit. For many years he smoked cigars until his physician told him he must stop smoking or die. Thereupon he hired negro to smoke all day near him and blow the smoke into his face. The negro did this for years until he died, and his place was taken by white man. The millionaire Is in perfect health. His smoker uses about twelve fine cigars day. The millionaire seems to derive great enjoyment from thii secondhand method of indulging in to- ! baeco.

THE HANGING OF PICTURES. See That Prints and Paintings liar. mOniZe With the Line Of Vision.
 IFrom the Pittsburp Dispatch1


 Most persons who frequent picture gall leries have heard the expression Chung on the line," and among the number there are doubtless some few who have rather vaguely wondered as to the meaning. If there are any such it may afford them some satisfac- tion to know that a picture is so spoken of when it is hung on the level of the eyes of the spectator. They are said to be ''skied" when they are placed so high that it is diffi- cult for one standing upon the floor to com fortably bring them within the range of wis., ion, and the meaning of this term many an artist is familiar with to his sorrow. It will be readily understood that a picture placed either too high or too low down upon the wall is seen at 8 great disadvantage, though perhaps the latter position is more preferable of the two, for the reason that if it be of any considerable size it can not be placed SO low down but what the top of it will come somewhere near the proper height, and the whole of it may be easily seen by stepping back a few paces, but there is practically no limit to the space overhead, and occasionally at some of the crowded exhibitions picture gets placed 50 high that it might as we'll not be shown at all.
 Aside from the comfort of the spectators, pictures lose materially by being looked at from any point of view but one directly in front of them. The lines governing the per speotive of any pictorial representation are only seen in their proper relation to each other when the eyes are directed squarely upon the canvas and focused upon the spot which forms the vanishing point of it's prin- cipal panes. Viewed in any other manner 1 the drawing appears more or less weak, and /! in place of impressing the beholder with the ! boidness and relief of the various objects 1 represented, 1t assumes the appearance of a | flat surface, and the effect of the perspective is then very much lessened, save only as it if sustained by the different weights of colol
 All things considered, it is small wonde that when an artist has expended his bes
 efforts in the production of picture, an, has finally set it forth to run the gaun, let of public opinion, and to be criticise

A Dog,s Death.


 Rare as animals suicides must be, there are circumstances under which they may be both poetic aud pathetic. Some years ago friend of the Listeners removed to some re- mote part of the country, where he began the business of fruit.raising on little farm on the edge of a forest. He took with him Newfoundland dog who had long been in his family, who was already not far from the or- dinary term of a dogs existence. Some three years after this gentleman's removal, @ friend of the family's, and one to whom the old dog had been much attached, visited the place. The dog knew him and greeted him with im- mense joy. But the animals age had grown so great that he got about with difficulty, and this fact the visitor noted.
 "Ohl" he exclaimed. "How deadfully old Jack is growing"
 "Yes," said the dogs master ''it is quite pitiful, but we cannot bear to put him out of
 the way"
 That evening the dog was about the house. With the morning he disappeared, and some days afterward his body was found deep in the forest, at the foot of a great tree. Had he attempted to make a long tour in the woods, longer than his strength warranted, and been overcome by weaknesss It was not his habit to go into the woods alone at all. He had not made such trip for years. His master firmly believed that, realizing that his death was near, the old dog, either from determlnatlon 10 spare HIS Irl6noS tns sceue of his agony, or else following 8 blind but high instinct, had gone far into the depths of the forest, and lain down to die alone. Had he understood his masters wordsa Very likely not. We often assume that ani- malls understand spoken words when proba- bly, they do not, but are guided by keener perception of there own. An intelligent dog, who lives much with his master, anticipates | the masters words. He knows what his mas ter will do, or what command he is about to utter, before the word is spoken. MT. Ham, erton has pointed out the mistake which men make in attempting to assimilate the animals | intelligence to that of human beings. It is altogether a different sort of intelligence, but | in certain directions it is keener than men's-
 so much keener that we cannob arrive at 8 knowledge of the way in which it is exercise
 ed. A dogs perceptions are continually as- 1 tonishing those who come in contact with him; and yet if we try to make the dog be-
 have like human being the chances are that he will act like fool. There is no sort of doubt that dogs often do understand a good
 deal of spoken language; but often the facul- l ty which they exercise when they appear to understand words may be quite different
 one, and often higher faculty still.

ARE WE LOST 2


 If we can believe what we have read and heard during the last week, to-day will see some strange and alarming proceedings. Mir. Walter Leigh will be taken at high noon to the center of the historic old Green, and there, surrounded by his faithful followers, he will be crowned King of New Haven. Everything that is worth seixing will be seized by the standing army" which he will form, and be- fore night we shall have despotism here which has had no parallel in ancient or mod ern history. He will then proceed to extend his rule until Montowese is included in his kingdom, and with ell this territory as a basis he will be able to conquer the rest of Connecticut. Then the other New England States will sucoumb, and he will not moder- ate his ambition or stop in his career of con- quest until the whole nation is under his thumb. It hardly seems possible that such things could result from a school election in New Haven, but all this and more is bound to happen if what has been said by the Law and Order folks is true. The only hope of escape we ses Is that 1t is barely possible that it isn't all true.

 (From Harper's Young People.l
 There died in Vienna, less than a year ago, says George Makepeace Towle in Har- per's Young People, quiet elderly gentle man, retired from business with comforta- ble competency, who left the whole of his property to person whom ne had seen every day for years, and yet to whom he had never spoken. This was young lady who lived directly opposite his own lodgings. Of this young lady the old gentleman knew nothing whatever except her name, and the grateful fact that for several years, as he had passed to and fro, she had greeted his coming and noing with pleasant, and friendly smile. He was very lonely in his elderly bachelorhood, and the daily smile cheered and made him grateful. No tie, in deed seems to have bound him to any human being except to the fair damsel who thus si- lently brightened his solitary life. Never, perhaps, did 8 smile, bestowed in simple l maidenly kindness, reap more startling and solid reward.
 Lord Sackville, died and left large slice of his property in a still stranger manner, for | he bequeathed a substantial sum to each one | of Queen Victoria's maids of henor. There was no evidence that Lord Ssckville had any
 special acquaintance with these high-born young ladies, CT that he was bound to them by any special relation and the mystery of the bequest is, I believe, a mystery still. 1 The maids of honor, who were as much as- tonished as the rest of the world, declined promptly the post-mortem bounty.
 l These instances reveal that curious trait of human nature which now and then in duces men and women to make strange wills. Often final bestowals of worldly goods seem like cynical jokes grimly played on the
 community from the bed of death itself. Al
 other times revenge plays it's vindictive part
 in cutting off expectant heirs and leaving riches to strangers and to charities. Many
 persons are fond at keeping their wills secre ! until death overtakes them and couple thei
 gifts with strange and fantastic conditions | which give scope to the writers of plays ant employment to lawyers practicing in pro . bate courts. ''The ruling passion in death

Bishop Fowler has discovered something important during his visit to China. He says: They are preparing for war to vindi- cate the citizenship of their countrymen in all parts of the world, and particularly with the United States, against whom they have a bitter grievance. They will begin by the ex- tirpstion of all Americans within the en- pire, and possibly English-speaking people. A Chinaman never forgets and he never for- gives. It may lead to slaughter of the English-speaking people, and 1t may not; am not prepared to say which, but that they propose to vindicate their national honor, as they understand it, am morally certain. I do not anticipate that it will be soon, but within few years.
 It is said that the emperor of Russia will be obliged to give the Prince of fLeuohtenberg, who recently married the Princess of Monte station requires. The family is decidedly poor. The prince's father married the Coun- tess Beauharnais, a sister of the renowned Skobsleff, whose light heart and warm blood she also possessed in an eminent degree.
 Their marriage was, in consequence, unhappy and the old prince endeavored to secure di-
 vorce because of her relations with his cousin,
 the Grand Duke Peter of OldenburY. The
 ezar, however, refused to give his consent to
 the separation, and they remained man and wife till the prince's death. The present prince and his brother were left the beautiful palace in the Marine place, St. Petersburg. But lack of money forced them to offer the property for sale. No bidder presented him. self save the owner of a common concert hall, who proposed to start a cafe chantant in the palace. His offer was accepted, but before the papers had been signed the emperor heard of it and purchased the palace for the l Imperial Council. It has been used in that l capacity ever since, but it is rumorsd that :! the czsr will present 1t to the prince in tht ! near future. It is we'll known that the Prince of Montenegro, "the one-time friend of Rus l eia," is unable to settle any dowry upon his | daughter.
