LISBON, Dec. 25.-Dispatches from
Rio de Janeiro received in cipher by the
newspaper Novidades contain import
ant and deeply interesting facts of the
political upheaval reported as having
occurred there on the 18th inst. From
the information contained in the cipher
kilograms 1t is undoubtedly correct that
the provisional government found itself
confronted by very formidable and
active opposition, among the members
of which were numbered many soldiers,
q good contingent from the navy backed
up by several officers from both branches
of the service; while numerous citizens
also Joined the revolt in favor of the
monarchy. These banded together and
paraded the principal streets, giving
full aggressive show of their Senti-
ments. and very serious fight resulted.
The revolt was not suppressed until the
morning of the Goth inst, when the
regularly organized troops Overcame
and dispersed the nOnarchists. The
provisional authorities arrested quite

DIPHTHERIA CURE.

Diphtheria is one of the enemies to
young life and physical comfort that
happen around occasionally In almost
all communities in this country. Those
who have suffered from its visits would
prize any effective and reliable mode o f
relief from its malign purposes. The
statement was made in the Chicago
Tribune some time since that the juice of
the pineapple was a cure for The disease,
and had long been known in the regions
where that fruit is grown. Since at
tention was called to this several parties
have tested its efficacy and reported the
results to the Tribune. Children six
and seven years old in dangerous stages
are reported cured by it. The acid
loosens the infected membrane and it is
c0ughed up. 1t will be boon to the
communities if so simple prescription
shall prove to bea specific for the dread
malady. 1t will add support to the
theory that nature has an antidote for
every i'll. There is little timidity and

Mr.. GRADY's LAST SPEECH.

Nix. GRADY'S last public utterance
was the speech he delivered at the Bos-
ton banquet. The death seal was on his
brow at the time. and while it was
noted that he spoke with less vigOr
than usual, still his speech was mas
terly discussion of The race question,
and will be remembered for its sincere
aud manly statement of the sO-called
negro problem in the South. His analy-
SIS of the question demonstrated that
there was no problem at all. but SIM
pie condition governed 10y natural laws,
anq that this condition could not be
changed by legislation or removed by
force. He drew a fine picture OF the
peace and good will which prevailed at
the South wherever the two races were
relieved of the friction of incendiary
political agitation. Whites and blacks
work side by side; every avenue is open
to both: the fields blossom under con-
tented labor; spirit Of sympathy and
helpfulneSs Sways both sides; in GeOr-
gia alone negro owners hold title to
$50. 600, 00J of real estate; and throughout
the South the cOlored population has
the benefit of more than 0ne-half of the
school fund. The scenes of disorder
and violence, of which we hear so much
in election times, never occur eX-
cept when demagOgueS marshal the
masses of ignorance into menace of
free institutions. Yet, In discussing the
present status between white and black
in the South, Mr.. GRADY asserted his
belief in the superiority Of the white
over the black race. and boldly declared
that the people of his section would
never submit to the establishment of
negro supremacy. In this cOnnec-
ton he said: ''We wrested our state
government from negro supremacy
when the federal drum beat rolled closer
to the ballot box. and the federal bayo-
nets hedged it deeper about than will
ever again be permitted in this free
government; but, sir, though the can
non of this republic Numbered in every
voting precinct of the South, we still
should find, in the mercy of God. means
and courage to prevent its re-eStablish-
meut." Judging from the whole tenor
of his Boston speech, it was Mr..
GRADI'S idea that the lot of the negroes
must be chiefly that of labor, aud that
it is on the development of the indus
tries that nature has located in the
Southern states that the solution of the
race problem must depend. 1t was an
appeal TO the patriotism and common
sense of the whole country to repreSs
incendiary political agitation, and to
leave to time, aided by patience and
fOrbearance. the solution of the per-
picking question Of race adjustment.

METAL GIES.

For some time past experiments have
been in progress in the old countries to
use metal in place of wood for railroad
ties. The growing scarcity of wood has
rendered it very desirable to find some
substitute. 1t is remembered that one
of the first railroads in this country was
laid upon stone ties, but they were un-
satisfactory. and soon gave way to
wood. At the railroad congress held in
Paris during the exposition many facts
were reported in regard to metal ties.
One road in Switzerland had used them
six years, and they were now in perfect
condition. while wood was unservice-
able in that time, and the cost of keep
ing the track in order was 45 per cent
less than with wood. Similar expert
ence was reported in Russia and
Mexico. Three of the great railroads
in this country are making tests with
metal ties. They cost more at the S tart,
but in the run of years are claimed to
greatly cheaper the cost of maintenance
of track. This is of general Importance,
as it will greatly add to the iron demand
and reduce. the cost of operating rail-
roads.

they would only come faster; If they
were only here; If he had only already
freed his soul from this weight OF sin!
In the forenoon no one came. Al
noon came the physician. He smiled
when he heard the sick man boast OF
his recovery.

the woman, out in the hall.

In the afternoon there likewise came
no one. The woman barricaded the
door, and sat waiting for death. And
since he tarried, she quaked with fear
at every sound, thinking it some one
from the court. No one came.
Night approached. The sick man
slumbered quietly. and from his dreams
the joy of life smiled on his glowing
cheeks. In the adjoining room the
woman, pale, weary, weak and sleep
less, tossed on her couch and anXi0usly
waited, waited, waited.
The next day the sick man again felt
better. His heart seemed relieved from
heavy weight. He was only very i'm
patient because neither the bookkeeper
nor the magistrate appeared. The
woman had 10 deceive him by saying
that both had been sent for. In truth,
however, she had barrieaded the door
that no one might come in. Only late III
the evening she went to her attorney,
and ascertained that on the morrow they
were to come again, and that without
fail. Now she no longer knew what to
do. She begged her husband to again

A second time 1t was night, Mother
and daughter were watching by the
sick man. He was almost joyous. He
had made plans for the future-busi-

The girl was nodding in half slum-

INCREASE IN THE DEATH RATE.
SALISBURY WONT ACCEPT.
Ultimatum of the French Regard
ing Egypt's Loan.


PARIS, Dec. 25.-The Temps has an
important article on the position of the
French government with regard to the
conversion of the Egyptian preference
loan from five-per-cent to four-per-
cent stock, as proposed early in the
year by Sir Edgar Vincent. The Temps
reports that the government has init
mated to the British minister that it
will no longer insist upon the evacua-
ton of Egypt by England as the condi-
ton of its assent to the conversion of
this portion of the Egyptian debt, but
may consent if England initiates
the process of evacuation by
withdrawing part of her troops,
and it is agreed that the profit of tha
conversion shall be applied to the pur-
pose of strengthening the Egyptian
army. 1t has been calculated that the
saving to the Egyptian treasury by this
reduction would be equal to $500, 900
year: and this money spent upon the
Egyptian army would admit of an im-
portant reduction in the effective of the
British army without endangering any
interest that the presence of that army
protects. As the Marquis of Salisbury
has hitherto refused to negotiate upon
the ground that the military occupation
and the debt were parts or the same
question, and as England claims that
the retirement of her armies would be
followed by the Overrunning of Egypt
from the SOudan, the prospect for an
acceptance of the French proposition is
not promising.

HOW TEA WAS DISCOVERED.

An Accident. Like Many Other
Things OF Advantage to Men.
Lo don Standard
Tea came into use almost by accident.
Some Buddhist priests, going on mis-
sionary expedition from Northern india
to China, took with them the dried
leaves, and also some cuttings of al
indigenous shrub which was said to
have the power of correcting any in
furious properties in the brackish water
they might meet with on the way. The
dococtiOn thus made pleased the mi S,
siOnaries so well that they continued,
as matter of taste, to drink it after
they reached China. and introduced it
to their converts.
They also set about planting the pre-
cious shrub, and, although It did moi
thrive so we'll in China as in its native
Assam, becoming smaller both in stem
and leaf. it was so well liked that it soon
formed the foundation of the favorite
beverage of all China. Thence it was
brought to Europe to be drunk and de-
sired by Englshmen of every degree.
And it is only of late years that Assam
tea has come into the European market,
to be looked upon rather suspiciously as
the rival of It's own degenerated Chi
neSe daughter.

purpose with which Gen. Count Yama-

becomes minister of foreign affairs and
the second minister of commerce. The
new minister of foreign affairs replaces
Count Ohuma Schigenobeau, who has
been created a privy councillor with
the rank of minister. But the signifi-
cant part of the change is that Count
