The power Of gold is phenomenal
The discovery of gold in California gave
population and a new life to the Pacific
coast. Such discovery in Australia
populated continent and in South At
RIGA is making the Transvaal predomi-
nently English. And now advices from
Demarara represent that it was only the
discovery of gold which prevented an
fnsurrection. The comparative failure
of the sugar cane industry left the ne
groes without work. The East Indian
coolies had all the places on the sugar
estates. The negroes were on the point
of Msing against the Government, when
"a few exploring gold seekers found
gold along the sides of one of the upper
rivers. The gold fever set in, and it
carried into the interior so many OF the
idle, strong and reckless fellows that
great public danger was averted, and
the emigrants have speedily made and
are now spending nice competencies.

The newest thing in cigarettes has been introduced by Charles Delmoni- co, who has brought over what will strike most cigarette smokers as being novelty. The cigarette is made et Turkish tobacco, and is considerably thicker and heavier than the Ameri- can cigarette. Nearly half an inch of one end of the cigarette is covered with roll of pure twentytwo-carat gold leaf, which is exceedingly pleas ant to the mouth, and does away with :he stickiness which all cigarette smokers find fault with, particularly during the cold weather. Chapped lips with the new cigarette will be i'm possible. As spectacular object it is decidedly brilliant Tn appearance. It will be the most expensive cigarette in the market. and its success with certain New Workers is therefore as- Sured.-New York Sun.

To Preserve sse Casa Granae Ruins.

Mir. Victor Mandeleff, of the Bureau of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institute, at Washington, D. c., has just visited the ruins of Casa Grande, accompa- nied by his wife. He has Survered its surroundings, accompanied by Mir. Whittemore, and has taken from IS to IS photographic views and made a thorough investigation of the build- lngs and mounds adjacent. He will suggest to the Department the advisa- bllity of fencing Tn 40 acres with barbed wire fence; excavating the de- bris within the walls and rooms of the building; brlcking around the outside walls and, when the excavation is com pleted, he will advise that heavy tim bers be erected at each inside corner of the center room, as a support for rafters for corrugated iron roof to project six feet beyond the walls of the edifce. This, he thinks, will pro- tect from any further erosion from storms and at the same time it will not hide the view of the structure, nor mar It's appearance.-Florence Enter prise.

Brazil.

From the Philadelphia Record
 If greatness be estimated hy terrI- torial extent, Brazil Is in the front rank ot the nations of the world. The ] only nats:-'-e hich exceed 1t in this respect are the British Empire, Rus sia, China and the United States. The new republic has coast line of 400o miles, and its breadth from Pernam- buccO to the chain of the des is 250O miles. Juttlng far out into the Atlantic Ocean, Pernamhucco is with in less than four days by steam to the coast of Africa, fact of no small sig nihcance in its relation to future com mercial developments.
 In the vast. geographical limits cf the young republic the total popula- lion does not exceed I8,000000. Of this population the whites amount to about 100000, of whom not more than 25.000 are of pure Portuguese blood. Not less than 100000 are tull-blooded Africans. and the rest are of every possible mixture of race and color.
 Brazil IS almost destitute of rail- roads and telegraphs. No important lines of railroad penetrateS the inte- rior of the republic, and the means of communication between the distant States and the central Government are extremely slow and precariors. A revolution might occur Tn one of the Andean States and it would be weeks before the Government at Rio Janeiro would find it out. General education nas been so much neglected that it is estimated that 30 per cent of the pop uIation of Brazil can not read and write.
 By reason of her natural advanta geS, Brazil promises in the near future 
 to attract large share. of European emigration. Recently Germans, Ital- lans and Spaniards have been pouring into the country in increasing num- bers. and are enlarglng the produc tion of sugar, coffee, cotton, rubber and other valuable articles of com merce. Should this movement con tinue under the influence of a stable government, and with the attractions 0f cheap and fertile lands, it would go far 10 solve the problem of European emigration which eausesSo much dis tress to a certain school of statesmen in our own land

The Inauenza Epidemic.

|
 The epidemic of influenza which started in St. Petersburg and first af- fected the Car, and then spreading over Europe. has now, it appears, fol lowing its tendency to become pan demic or world wide in it's extent, made its appearance here.
 This particular form of epidemic is not new, though, happily, 1t has hlth. erto attacked this country in milder form than it has assumed elsewhere, and has prevailed less generally here than Tn other regions. The Medical Record refers to the i;lfelestiEg fact that t visited us 100 years ago as IS shown in the letter of n. soaalar ren to Dr. Eettsen, where the physi- elan of revolutionary memory spoke of Washington as but now recover ing from severe and dangerous at tack of It." There was formerly a notion that the disease appeared thus epidemically in definite cycles of 100 years. but actual experience has explo- ded all that, the medical journal re- calling such an epidemic spread from China Tn 1880 to Russia and through out Europe in 1881. and to this coun- try in 1882, when finally 1t had lost most Of it's force. In 1886 a still SC verer- epidemic travelled from Russia to every part of Europe; and the last tune when it appeared in England to marked degree, as we learn from the London Lancet, was in 1947, the num- Der of persons attacked by it in Lon don alone having been computed at 250,0O0.
 Since he developments of bacteriol- ogy the origin of the malady is found in the specific bacillus or germ, which lives in the atmosphere. as the cholera germ lives Tn the water and soil. The miastn, too, always starts in the East and extends Westward. and the micro organic cause of it seems te. De de- creased in quantity and virulence when the ocean is crossed and thlS country is reached. The Medical Record accordingly deems it unlikely that we shall be obliged to entertain the visitor in its more annoying form, for at the worst the disease IS trouble some rather than dangerous, unless sometimes in the case of children and the aged.
 Medical sclence, or that part of med ical investigator which has a more strictly scientific character, therefore finds excuSe-for lndulglng in gratitca- tion at the opportunity which the present epidemic affords for the more positive determination and discovery of the influenza bacillus. Our medica l contemporary only regrets that the bacteriologists of Europe will have the first and the best chance to make that contribution to science-New York Sun.

CaitfOrnia haisins Displgring Malaga
 Fruits,

Consul Marston, of Malaga, contrib Rtes an article about. the decli1- the Malaga raisin industry. He says that the large production of GaliferAia raiSlns within the last two years has had disastrous effect uponthe sales and shipment of Malaga fruit to the United States. The Spaniard is be. ginning to realize the fact that there are other countries besides Spa,n where raisins can be successfully pro- duced. In 1882 the, crop of raisin, produced in Malaga reached 300 OO0 boxes, of which there were shipped to the United States nearly 1000 ,OO0 boxes. Since that time shipments to the United States have been gradusllv but steadily decreasing, until 1888 when the total production only amounted to about 700,000 boxes of winch 1l2, 1000 only have.been exported to the United States. This is fear tul decline in SIX years, butit is partly owing to the decline Tn yield. There are many persons who predict tba; the vintage of 1889 will reduce still further the purchases made for espor. tation to the United States, and that
 
 in few years Malaga raisins will he replaced for our home consumntion by those produced Tn California

 If we did but know how little some enjoy of the great things that they possess, there would not be much envy in the world Young.
 Not to return one good office for another is inhuman, but to return evil for good is dlabolical There are too many even of thlS sort who the more they owe, the more they hate. There is nothing more dangerous than to oblige these people, for when they are conscious of not paying the debt they wish the creditor out of the way. Seneca.
 No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life as not to receive new information from age and exporience.-Terence.
