He Capital at Drazli.

If you have occasion to mention the capital of Brazil and wish to be exact, you must say Rlo de Janeiro, and pro- nounce it Reeo day Hay-nay-ray -oh. That is Pan-Amefican. It means river of January. Tradition says that when the Portuguese mariners who discov- cred the Brazilian coast passed through the narrow gateway to the harbor and saw the beautiful bay in the ampbi- theater of mountains, surrounded by the eternal verdure, they thought they were entering the mouth of a river that would lead them to the enchant- ed land. When they discovered their mistake they were so disgusted that, instead of naming the river after our Saviour, or one of the saints, they simply christened It the river disco4- cred in January. However, the city has street called Street of Good Jesus, and others called St. John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist, etc Exchange.

In the political feud between it's French and English speaking resi- dents, Canada has race problem on It's hands which threatens to be more perplexing and injurious to the dis trict immediately affected than our negro question IS to us. Annexation, of course, would quickly settle this trouble, as with Canada joined to the United States the immigration to it would soon place the French element so completely in the minority that it would lose Its power, and ultimately its distinct existence Yet thls French difficulty is one of the reasons why the United States Is not ANXIOUS to push its boundaries farther northward just now Globe-Democrat.

Ss. Louis as a Mining Center.
A miner who attended the Nation

4 miner who attended the National Siiger Convention, is quoted by the stssPako Bullion as saying: St. Louis possesses at this time more interest to miners than any other city in the country, from the fact that It is the mining center of the United States. As evidence of thls position we will cite the fact that during the past IS months $40 properties have been placed in that city. The St. Louis Mining Exchange is open each day, and we are informed that its opera tions are important and extending. There are numerous mine brokers in the city and the usual quota of ex- perts, engineers, assayers and metal lurgists, in fact inning Is very gen eral topic of conversation in the hotels and elsewhere. No doubt the great attention given to mining in St. Louis IS due to the Granite Mountain mine, that to the date of its last dividend November, 1889, has pad in dividends $7,800000. Then again it might be claimed for St. Louis that 1t is natu- ral mining center, for in the sos. when 1t was the supply point for the entire west, it was mainly St. Louis capital that operated the lead mines of Galena, Dubuque, St. Gensvive, etc.; in after years the zinc and lead depos- its of Joplin, contributed to give St. Louis importance. and to these we may add the exploitation of the Pilot Knob and other iron deposits, also the silica, fire e-clay and extensive coal beds in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois, all more or less tributary to St. Louis and source eff revenue to 1t.

The Lon lon Scandal.

A Seattle, Wash, dispatch to the Globe Democrat says: A man named
 c. R. Hammond has been traced from
 London to France, to Brussels, to New
 York and this city. He is wanted at
 Scotland Yard for having been pro-
 prietor of the lodging house in Caven-
 dish street, London, the scene of the
 great scandal in which Prince Albert
 Victor and many members of the mo-
 bility are involved. Hammond is said to possess important documents, which
 he always carrIes with hlm in small
 vaIise. Two telegramS were received during the past fews1AAasking who had post office box 593, and who was Adele Gayet. Search revealed the fact that Adele Gayet was plstress of John Stricker, who was ence an ac quaintance of Hammond in London.
 The woman Gayet is a niece of woman claiming to be the wife of Hammond, and letters to Hammond have been sent in her care. Hammond has been avoiding all but his friends here, but to them he has shown wealth of diamonds and iewelry in hlS possession. Hammond was at last found in his hotel, and with him hick-set, French woman, claiming to be his wife, and two boys, Il and 16 years of age Hammond claims one as hls son, but says the other is the son of man llving in London, but refuses to give his name When Ham, mond was told that he was wanted at Scotland Yard he became confused and said:
 Tt seems very hard to a man who, with his family. has settled in a new country and IS attempting to do some good for himself, to be followed hy such accusations as these. England does not seem like my home when from my native soll am traced up like this.
 After thls he hesitated and talked cautiously. He knew all about the great London scandals from begln- ming to end, but he had nothing to do with them. He says he and his wife kept a lodging house in Mlddlesex Hospital grounds and rented rooms, mostly to gentlemen and bachelors His friends here state tfStat different tities u5 kePt three otT>l houses in London. He did not know what bach elors did with rooms Tn hls house. is in constant cable com munication with parties in England and France.

 Several ways are open for the re- duction of the surplus, which, accord ing to official estimate, will be about $s440O0,OOO this year and the same next year. The removal of the tax of tobacco and on spirits used in the arts would cut off all the surplus except $7,000000. A reduction of about 50 or 60 per cent in the rate of duty on sugar would sweep away the surplus completely, while it can also be re- moved by moderate general cut Tn duties supplemented by the placing of some commodities not produced here in large quantities on the free list. The abolition of the tobacco tax would he easiest brought about, as most of the Republican Congressman and al least d third of the D smocrats would favor It, but the reduction in tue sugar duty would give the great est relief 10 the cOuntry.-Glebe-Dem- ocrat.

The color of the Eiffel Tower, says the AmerIran Architect, has been one of the puzzles Of the Paris Exposition, no two persons agreeing as to what the real color is. Some people imag- inc that 1t has been plated with nickel or silver, while others call it red, and others. again, think 1t is of beautiful bronze color. The fact Is that it is painted in five shades of the same color, moduIated with the skill that the French often show in cases of the kind. From the base of the first plat form the color is dark Barbedlenne" bronze, verging little to red; thence to the second platform the color is the same, but lighter; and from this point to the top the color grown constantly lighter, by five successive grddatlons, the top being almost a golden yellow. Three coats of paint are spread over the entire surface, and over all is a coat of very bard, transparent varnish, which, by reflectlng the sun, adds td the dilficnltv of defining the color.
