Now that Brazil has come out as
a full=fedged Republic. Canada is
becoming agitated again upon the
subject of a change of government.
A leading French Canadian paper
comes out openly in favor of Cana
dian annexation to the United States
as first choice, or the formation OF
the United States of Canada as an
alternative. The argument is that
anything is better than to continue
the dependency of a monarchy.
Erastus Wiman may cheer himself
with the assurahces that his pet
plan has been sefEorward the equiv
alent of perhaps a hundred years in
time by the occurrence of the latest
South American revolution.

A movement has been put on
foot in Boston to raise a fund for
the purpose of providing transpor-
tation to such negroes as may wish
to leave the South and go North to
live. 1t is said that about 700 me-
groes have taken advantage of this
opportunity and moved to Massa-
chuseets. If the other New En-
gland States can be induced to fol-
low the lead of Massachusetts, in
this matter, and several hundred
thousand negroes will move into
those States. the people of that sec
ton of the Union will be enabled
to study the negro problem to a
better advantage. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether the negroes can
be pursuaded to go North. Much
as the Republican newspapers and
stump speakers denounce the South
ern people for their treatment OF
the blacks, the fact remains that
the negro prefers to live among the
people who formely held him in
bondage. He knows that more
kindness and consideration is
shown him here, than he will ever
receive at the North, loud as are
the protestations of friendship for
him in that quarter, and that is
why SO few of them have gone
North to make their homes.

A Contract 10 QuIt smoking.

The Kentucky Courts have been
called upon to decide a question as
curious as it is novel. An old lady
entered into written agreement
with her grandson to give him five
hundred dollars if he would quit
smoking for specified period.
Before the expiration of the time
she died. The young man kept
his part of the agreement and then
demanded the money from her ex-
ecutors. They refused to pay it,
and he brought suit. The lower
Courts held that there was no con-
sideration for the agreement and
declined to enforce it. This view
is not shared by the highest Court
of the State, which decides that
the agreement was valid and bind
ing, and that as the young man
had lived up to his bargain he was
entitled to the promised reward.

Matters at KYLE.

KYLE, December 3.--Last week q
negro named Clay Miller was run over
and horribly crushed by freight train
few hundred yards from the Interna-
tional and Great Northern depot and
the coroner. Justice Benner, rendered
the verdict that he came to his death
by being drunk and getting on the
track was killed by the train. But
officers Greathouse and Fielder came
in possession of facts that caused
grave suspicioun to rest on negro
named Green Davis, and he was ac-
cordingly arrested and will have 70
stand an examining trial.
1t seems that he is charged with
killing Miller and placing his body on
the track and there to be mangled by
the merciless engine and car wheels.
