A Wonderful Revolution.

AdvlceS from Brazil during the
past week bring the details of the
most wonderful revolution known
to modern or ancient times. In a
single week the great empire of
Brazil has been converted from an
Imperial to a Republican form of
government, and Emperor Dom
Pedro, one of the most Democratic
rulers of the world, has had to step
down and out, to give place to an
absolute Democracy of the people.
It was n veritable revolution, in
which the imperial authorities were
neither consulted nor notified OF
the change desired, and the people
demanding the change were organ
lied and fully determined to shed
oceans of blood if necessary to
accomplish their purpose. For
tunately the show of force made
by them, and the prompt, decisive
and universal uprising was SO for
midablc that little or no resistance
was made TO TIE capture and pos
session of governmental plaeel- II
il said that the blood of only one
man was she'd during the revolu-
ton, that of Baron Ladsrio, one of
Dom Pedro's ministers, who is re-
ported as having been SHOT and
wounded for resisting the attempt
to force has resignation as member
of the emperor's cabinet. All the
other ministers are said to have
hastily complied with the demand
for their resignation.
There are number of conflict
ing reasons assigned for the revolu-
ton, but it is unsafe at this early
day, and upon such meagre in
formation, to place much credence
in any of them. The most plausi-
bic is that the people simply de-
sired to have a full voice in the
affairs of government, and had no
great antipathy for Dom Pedro,
who In fact was universally liked
by all. It is said that the slave
holders had grudge against him
for installing his daughter as
Princess Regent during his visit
to the United States few years
ago. While in this authority she
signed decree setting the slaves
of the empire free two years in adj
vance of the time appointed by an
act of gradual emancipation, which
was then being carried out. What
ever may have been the causes
which led to the uprising, the fact
still remains that it is the most
wonderful revolution III the annals
of history.
Emperor Dom Pedro has FORM
ally accepted his deposition in
brief and dignifed note, saying
that he submits to the command of
circumstances, and will take all of
his family with him to Europe,
leaving this beloved country,
which / have tried to give firm
testimony of my affectionate love
during nearly half a century as
Chief of Brazil" He says he has
kindly remembrances of Brazil, and
hopes for her prosperity.

HUMAN EXISTENCE.

Sensible and Encouraging Comments o.
the Problem OF Living.
Are not the lives of most of US mat
ter difficult of solution2 We drift along
aimlessly with the tide, or we rush along
in the current, and II we strike a whirl-
pool the waters close over us and we arc
lost sight of forever. Which is best, to
drift, Or run the rick of the rapidsP In
an easy, aimless life, we are of no special
use; we slip away and the niche we have
filed Is 30 small that it is entirely lost
to sight, but we escape q great amount
OF caro- and worry. The disheartening
defeats which arise from ambitious re-
solves are wholly unknown to US, and we
are quietly content. On the other hand
we struggle. We are continually 'kick-
ing against the pricks." Sometimes we
grow defiant, and II disappointments
harden our nature, then 1t were better
had we drifted with the tide. Is it not
the most difficult part Of the problem to-
be able to adjust our lives that they may
fit the groove made Tor them, to be help
full to others at the same time, we are
working for our own cause? To have
charity for the sinful while we condemn
vice, to 80 adjust our pleasures that they
may brighten Life, but not mar its exist
ence?
The best opportunities and the best
results come from people Of the middle
class. The very poor, from the fact of
their poverty, have no chance to study
this problem. Life to them means
simply to exist A daily struggle for
the maintenance Of the body gives no
time for other matters, and they drift
because they are obliged to-, -.
70 most people of wealth, life is but o
pleasure trip. They sail along pleas
antly In sunny hours, and in storms
have a, safe harhor Cor refuge. Their
hours, arc spent In planning how they

space Of time allotted them on this
earth. While their hfo Is TO, be pre-

THE oulEr MAN NON.
RN0OeAEOeS On N Elevated Railroad Car
~, kRjoy,S Rare treat.

Ro000AI0e0 On N Elevated Railroad Car
49, 1Rjoy,0 RorO Treat.
A big, bprly man, with the form OF .
heavyweight pagilist, was making
himself exceedingly Objectionable to
= the passengers ON n Sixth avenue train
about two o'clock yesterday morning,
says the New York Times. He satwith
his long legs stretched clear across tho
aisle, his hat forward over his eyes, and
look ON his face which seemed to de-
clare: E,....-'.
"I'm . bad man, sect I'm looking for
trouble, and don't care where it comes
from"
Several passengers were unfortunate
enough to stumble over the mans feet
and in return were profanely abused for
doing So There was not man in the
car who did not feel inclined to punch
the fellow's head-but no looked too
formidable. At Thirty-third street, how
ever, the bully met his match.
A quiet-looking little man, with tho
appearance OF prosperous young clerk,
but who, in reality, was a well-known
teacher In fencing and boxing, entered,
and, as he made his way to ono Of tho
cross seats, encountered tho outstretched
legs Of the Objectionable person. Very
politely, the newcomer turned to him
and said:
"sir, viii you kindly draw in your
feet so that can passp"
The bully looked up to see who had
made such an impertinent request, and
said to the MISUNDERSTANDING man,
after string Of oaths:
"1ll do nawthing, see! II yer wants
ter get by you'll step over dose feet, and
If you'se got good sonse you'll DO careful
how you does It," .. go -, p
The little mans eyes flashed, and he
said, In tone very different to that he
had previously used:
"Sir, draw in your feetr' ,,.. ..
An oath was the only response, and
the little man, with "then take that, ="
gave the beg man a magnificent kick in
the shins- The big fellow jumped Il
hia feet to annihilate tho little one-bu,
he didn't. Hardly was he out Of his
seat before a .sledge-hammer blow under
the chin knocked him fat on his back,
and there he lay. The blow knocked
him out.
The passengers fairly cheered; but the
quiet little man was not looking for
glory, Going to the seat he had selected
before the encounter he sat down, I'M
eoncernedly pulled out newspaper and
began to read. The guard and one or
two passengers roughly picked the
PROSTATE man up and jammed him into
scat. His 6azed senses soon began to
return, but he said not word, and at
Fifty-ninth street he moekly left the
train. &c.,.
