LISBON, Dec. 25.-Dispatchos from Rio
de Janeiro, received in cipher by the news
paper Now da Deau, contain important
aud deeply interesting facts about the
political upheayal reported there as having
occurred on the 18th inst. From the in
formation contained in the cipher tele-
grams it is undoubtedly correct that the
provisional government found itself con-
fronted with very formidable and active
opposition, among the members of which
were numbered many soldiers, q

backed up by several officers from
both branches of the service, while numer-
ous citizens also joined the revolt in favor
of the monarchy. These banded together,
had paraded the principal streets, giving
iull aggressive show of their sentiments,
and very serious fighting resulted. The
result was not suppressed until the morn
ing of the Goth inst, when the regularly
organized troops overcame and dispersed
the monarchists. The provisional author
tiles arrested quite Il number of partici-
pants IN the revolt.

BOULANGER AND FONsEOA.
The Brazilian Congratulated, and in Re
turn the Frenohman is Praised.

PARIS, Dec. 25.-The following cores
pondence has passed between General Bou-
LANCER and General da Fonseca, chief of
the provisional government of Brazil.
Soon after the news of the Brazilian reyo-
luton was confirmed, General Boulanger
sent the following message to his friend,
Fonseca:
Accept my sincere congratulations for
the able aud patriotic manner in which
you have carried out the plans that re-
suited in the overthrow of monarchy.
Your generalship in the case of an OPP
pressed people is made doubly grand by
the fact that not a single life was sacri-
feed. How different from that of
1775, which made the United States
the grandest nation in the world.
How different from that of France,
in 1889 The United States set the ex-
ample which revealed the possibility of all
America being free from the yoke of i'm
perialism. France followed in her foot
steps and God grant that ere another cen =
fury has rolled by all Europe will be free.
j have great faith in the future of France,
much as she may be misgoyerned
at present, misfortune which | hope will
distant when outraged liberty will haye a
hearing. IL is with you, as it will be with
me and nay confreres TO show the world. las
the great United States has done, that re-
publican government founded on liberty,
fraternity and equality will expand until
kingcratt is swept away from the
earth. Long live the United States of
Brazil, long live America. BOULANGER."
In reply TO tbs remarkable greeting Gen
eral Boulanger received the following
message from General da Fonseca:
"In the name of the citizens of the
United States of Brazil | thank you for
the cordial greetings which you were in
spired TO send. Be assured that every
means worthy of patiotism were used to
bring about the desired and present glori-
Gus result. Yes, Brazil is free aud all
America is free, nevermore-and l speak
advisedly-will the tyranny of kingcraft
be experienced upon these shores. The
present result in Brazil has been the
dream of my boyhood, Iu I'M
hertaing the step that has
resulted so gloriouslv in our favor l was
fully aware of the responsibility it eutail-
ed. My desire was TO bring about blood
less and honorable revolution. That de-
sire has been gratified. thanks be to God
Some of my good friends in this and III
other parts of the world have honored me
with the title of The Boulanger of Bra
Iii Let me say that | am proud OF the
title and If Boulangerism means peace
fui overthrow of despotism and firm es-
my heart, long live Boulanger.'

American Ladies' the Best naneers.

Our women are the best dancers in the
world. The English woman moves stifiy,
slowly, considers reversing vulgar because
the Prince of Wales does not do it, and she
dances so solemnly that if the music could
be hushed and her face only were visible, it
would seem as if she were arranging some
new custom at a funeral and had assumed
her best funeral manners The American
girl keeps time with the music and seems
always rather to glide, while the English
girl never gets beyond a trot. Dancing is no
longer the important feature of an evening
entertainment, unless, of course, it is an
evening especially devoted to it, We used
to amuse ourselves; now we have people to
amuse us. In time it is possible we will
grow like the eastern magnateS and have peO-
pie dance while we look on. In days gone by
a hostess after dinner would sit down to Il
piano and sing bit for the amusement Of
her guests, but now she has some one from
the opera or from one of the many theatres
who can, of course, appear when the play is
over, which exactly suits the hour OF the late
dinner giver-to do this The fashion, which
introduced itself into England some time ago,
is rapidly becoming the vogue in New York,
although no one has as yet done as did Sir
Alfred Rothschild, who had Mrs. Potter to
recite and paid her, believe, $l,0O0.-New

Dogs MCnlOrN.

The Zoophilist, an English paper devoted
to the protection Of animals from cruelty,
tells some stories, which are apparently well
authenticated, illustrating the keenness of
the sense of recognition in dogs. The late
Mr.. Eyre, clergyman, left dog which was
very much attached to him at the country
house of a friend while he left England for a
long soiourn abroad. After two years Mr.
Eyre returned, arriving at his friends house
late at night, and retiring without having the
dog called
Next morning Mr.. Eyre was awakened by
the dog bursting into his bedroom, and leap
ing upon him with the widest demonstra,
tions of delight.
How on earth did he know had arrived?"
asked the gentleman of the servant who
brought hot water.
80 SIR the man replied, sit is the most
curious thing! As | was cleaning your boots
the dog recognized them, and became excited
beyond measure, and have not been able to
quiet him till he saw where / was carrying
them, and rushed up along with me to your
door"
\ correspondent of the same English paper
relates that he gave away, at a year old, g
dog which he was unable to keep in his Lon
don home. After eight years the dog was Re.

Forty Thousand Queen Flowers shipped
Daily from One Town.
The roses that New York bellies wear are
raised in this pretty Jersey village. Proba-
bly more roses are grown here and sold than
in any other place in the world. There are
eightv-ive enormous greenhouses in the town
and $50 people are employed in the cultiva-
ton of roses. At least score of men have
grown rich from the sale of the queen of
flowers. On an average, 1000 cut roses are
shipped from here to New York every day in
the year. Two cars bear the fragrant load
They are unshipped at Hoboken and taken
across the Hudson by the Wholesale dealers
who buy from the Madison horticulturists
From June to September the shipments are
heavier and are not confined to New DIRK.
Long Branch, Manhattan Beach and score
of fashionable seaside resorts take thousands
of the roses. The roses are shipped in small
chests, each secured with a lock and bearing
the growers name. The chests are returned
empty in the evening. There is never any
delay in the transit. Roses picked late at
night are in the hands of wholesale dealers
in New York by 0 o'clock the next morning.
They are disposed of to retail florists by noon,
and hundreds of the bellies and beaux of the
metropolis are wearing them by evening. 1t
is seldom that the supply of the early morn
ing is not exhausted soon after dusk Those
that are not sold are readily kept until the
day after, particularly in cool weather.
The season for dollhouse roses closes early
in June The plants are then all stripped,
the loan removed and the benches entirely
refilled with new soil Here the new growth
of plants is placed. After the roses are cut
every night, they are taken to the packing
rooms, where they are sorted, counted and
placed with their stems i'll water until morn
ing. In the morning early they are packed
in the shipping boxes and sent to the station.
The varieties sent to the New York market
are endless. The American beauty" is the
most popular rose at present 1t is very large
and has purplish tinge. They brought $50
each at wholesale during the holiday time
and still sell at nearly the same price. The
William Francis Bennett" is another favor

Jacuueminot in color and fragrance. The

season.
