REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.

A revolution has broken out in
Brazil it appears. If it should assume
such proportions as to seriously inter-
fere with our commercial relations its
disastrous effect upon the United
States would be very great. 1t will
be readily seen what important rela-
tons. commercially, Brazil bears to this
country when it is stated that the an
nual importation of Brazilian coffee
into the United States, amounts to
500 900, 900; rubber SI6,ooo,ooo,
sugar 10000, 900, and hides $780,
100000. Halfof the coffee consumed
in the United States comes from
Brazil. Thirteenth-six of the
rubber, one tenth of the sugar, and a
small percentage of the hides here,
comes from there A civil war of any
length in Brazil would therefore be
likely to have a serious effect on sew
eral branches of American business.

E. Because my children, having
witnessed the good results of such con

so far that they deposit their surplus

SAYS the Orange (Va) Obsever:

The South is making rapid indus
trial progress, and but for outside in
reference in political matters, she
would be one of the most happy and
independent sections of our country.
The negro element, when let alone by
bad men of both races, is about the
best class of lahorers the Southern
planter could have. The white and
colored races of the South can always
get along we'll together until they come
to politics, and then they divide-the
whites for the best policy, while the
blacks usually oppose them.

DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE SMITH

DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE SMITH.
The announcement of the death Of
Hon. William N. H. Smith, Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, was received with both pain
and surprise by the people of the State.
He died at his home in Raleigh last
Thursday morning after brief sick
ness, in the 18th year of his age, hav-
ing been born at Murfreesboro, this
State, Sept. 24th, 1872. In the death
of Chief Justice Smith bright legal
mind and a good man passes away.
The Norfolk Nrginian says of him:
Well may the Old North State
mourn over the great loss it has in
cured by the death of this eminent
and splendid citizen. Truely was he a
just man and upright jurist. His life
was a bright example. No spot or
blemsh smirched the ermine Of his
high office or the years of his long life.
The honors his State and fellow citi-
zens were always delighted in bestow-
ing upon him were fttingly worn.
Dignified yet modest, he was of the
highest type of manhood. Virginia
extends its sympathies to North Car
DINA.

RTILDING ANDLOAN ASSOCIATIONS


The GOLD LEAF has long desired to
see Building and Loan Association
established in Henderson. They have
operated we'll in other places when
intelligently conducted, making money
for the stock holders and proving a
great convenience and benefit to the
laboring classes enabling them to
build and own their homes. Why can
we not organize such an enterprise
here? The Wilmington Star says on
this subject:
The value of the Building and Loan
Associations as an fundamentally IN
promoting the building up and prog
ress of our cities and towns, is becom-
ing pretty generally recognized, and
the probabilities are that in a short
while there will be few towns OF any
importance in the State which will not
have one or more of them. Through
them many man has been enabled
to become the owner of a comfortable
home, who without them would never
have become a home owner. They
are, when we'll managed, good institu-
tons, and should be encouraged every
where.

GOV. WLE'S APPOINTMENTS.

Gov. Fowle has appointed Associate
Justice Merrimon Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina, to
succeed Chief Justice Smith, deceased;
and Judge Walter Clark is advanced
to the Supreme Bench in place of JUS
tice Merrimon. Both eminently wise
selections and deserved promotions.
Spier Whitaker, Esq, of Raleigh, has
been appointed Superior Court Judge
to fill the place made vacant by the
promotion of Judge Clark. In this
appointment we do not believe the
people of the State will give the Gov
ernor credit for exercising either the
wisdom or discreetness shown by him
in making the first named appoint
ments. Mr. Whitaker is a sharp.
shrewd lawyer and an astute politi-
clan, but lacking we think in those
qualities and essentials that go to make
up the safe, judicious, well equipped
Circuit Judge. AS chairman of the
State democratic Executive Committee
he rendered good service during the
last campaign and no doubt was en-
titled to promotion of some kind, if
party work is to be recognized in this
manner, but a political rather than
judicial appointment should have been
given him We think The Governor did
not act without precedent, however.
This is not the first debt of the kind
that has been settled in this way. The
same thing has been done before.

NEW MEXICAN PRODUCTS.
Fine Exhibits of Fruits, Vegetables aud
Cereals Shown in Kansas City.

Two Santa Fe baggage cars, loaded with
products OF the Rio drande valley, in New
Mexico, have been standing on the tracks
at the Union depot for the past two days,
and ii e fine exhibit Of fruit, vegetables,
cereals and minerals displayed in them
has attracted a great deal OF attention.
Although New Mexico has for years been
one Of the best markets for Kansas City
merchants the resources OF the country
and the progress beingmadeln developing
it is little understood here. There is prob
ably in the United States no more fertile
end productive region than the narrow
strip Of land running from north to south
through the center OF this great territory,
which is supplied with water by the Rio
Grande. v here the irrigation system has
been properly developed the land has
proven to he exceedingly productive and
capable OF producing q diversity OF crops.
| In the cars which were at the Union
depot yesterday, there were samples OF
fruit which were beautiful to the eye and
delicious to the taste, and they demon
strated the fact that New Mexico can
not lie excelled in the quality Of its
watermelons, and canteloupes, clean, FER.

feet high were used to decorate the inte-
rior of the car, and in glass cases we're the
different cereals attractiyely arranged.
On the car floor were heaps OF potatoes,
