LATEST direct advices from Brazil show
the folly of the talk about possible restor-
alton of the Empire that has been current
at some European centers. The new Gov
eminent has undoubtedly great difficulties
to overcome; but the experimentation and
moderation of institutions is progressing
steadily, and if the present administration
be overthrown, it will give way to another
set of republican officials, not to an en-
peror or q dictator.

A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.
Taught by Their Principal Scholars Amuse
Themselves by Mesmerism

Themselves by Mesmerism.
Sioux FALLS, S. Dak.-Sioux Falls is
deeply stirred up over a case of commissions
induced by mesmeric experiment
Owing to the inclemency of the weather,
the pupils in one Of the public schools
recently passed recess in the building.
To amuse them, the principal, M. Brown
showed them some simple mesmeric tricks
One of the girls stood in the center of the
room and closed her eyes, while two others
placed their hands on her shoulders and
elbows, and willed her to perform certain
things. The trick succeeded easily, and
the children were much pleased. Next
day when the teachers were absent, the
children undertook to experiment on their
own account. and when the teachers re-
turned they found Nellie Skinner in con-
vulsions, black IN the face, and with
twitching muscles; another girl, Myrtle
Dixon, was overcome by excitement, and
unable to control her limbs or shaking
hands, and all the others were wildly ex-
cited. Stella Ross nerves were worked up
to such an extent that she tainted at the
sight of the teachers. Nellie Skinner is
fifteen years of age, bri ght and unusually
strong, but she was most affected, and had
to be taken home in carriage She is
now resting easily. Much indignation
is felt at Principal Brown, and his dismis-
sal may be demanded

In the sixty days of January and Febru-
airy there were saventy-three railroad &C
cidents in the United States, and forty-two
people were killed, sixty-fve hurt and
over $1,000, 900 damages done to property.
Not more than five of these accidents could
be attributed to circumstances furnishing
a reasonable excuse, and yet no one was
arrested

At an Italian cafe group of gentlemen

The Royal Signature.

''The Queens signature to state docu
ments, said he, lis still model of firm
ness and legibility, no sign of Her
Majesty advanced age being discernible
in the boldly written Victoria R. which
she attaches to such papers as have to bear
the royal autograph. The question of the
signing of state documents in England by
the Sovereign became one OF great import
ance in the last months of George Tvs
reign. During this period His Majesty
was in such a debiiitated state that the
writing of numerous autographs was an
impossibility, and under these circum-
stances a short bill was hurriedly passed
through Parliament authorizing the King
to affix fac-simile of his autograph by
means of an linked stamp. 1t was also
provided that George should, before stamp
ing each document, give his verbal assent
to it in special form. the Duke of We'll
lington was in the office at the time, and
it was his duty to lay certain documents
before the King for his approval. One day
the Iron Duke, noticing that His Majesty
was stamping the papers before him with
out repeating the prescribed verbal FORM
atty. ventured to enter respectful but
firm protest.
g Your Majesty forgets to repeat the
verbal formaiity?'
Hang it, what can it signify 2 replied
the King, In an irritated voice.
50 Only this, sir, replied the Duke,
that the law requires it.
George w. said no more, but at once
began to repeat the requisite formallty as
he Stamped each of the documents.

The police of Baltimore have raided the
faith cure " Institutes, just as they should
all other humbugs and swindles, and the
developments are astounding. A gang of
sharpers, clothed in the livery of Heaven,
were lying, cheating, swindling and rob-
bling without limit, and in many cases
were to blame for the death of patients.

The Climax i'm the Lottery Situation Grow
ing Near.

BISMARCK, N. D.-The interest in
the revival of the lottery scheme is
general. If the session terminates
March Is the bill must be re-intro-
duced tomorrow to make it possible to get
it through. Attorney General Goodwin
said he would send in his opinion today
upon the duration of sessions If he in
cludes the holiday recess the session term
mates on the 18th and if he does not it
terminates May If he is satisfied of the
lottery bill coming up he may decide the
Legislature can remain in session In order
to beat the bill.
There is the best of reasons for believing
the lottery bill will be taken from the table
tomorrow or Wednesday, in order to get
test vote on it. As it requires two
thirds vote to take it from the table, that.
if secured, would be enough to pass it over
a veto. If the motion carries, a new bill
will be introduced, making the annual tri'
butte $4,000 instead of 575, 0O0 while the
price of the charter will be raised from
s25, 900 to $4,000 and $4,000 will be
paid at oxce into the state treasury. The
seed wheat question will be used with
powerful effect.

The prison sentimentalists ask for the
release of bank-wrecker Harper late
of Cincinnati. If this thief were to
serve year for each person he has reduced
to want, he would never again see the out

sickly philanthropists save their sympathy
for Harper'S victims?

Arrest of the Northern Green Brothers in
jackson County, Iowa.


Arrest of the Northern Green Brothers in
jackson County, Iowa.
DUBUQUE, lowa.-The notorious Green
brothers, who have been the terror of
Jackson and Dubuque counties for the last
two years have been arrested at their home
near Edwards mill. For the last two
years the farmers of that section and all
the way up to Dubuque have suffered from
the depredations of an organized gang of
thieves. Grainaries were emptied, clothes
lines cut down, harness and saddles stolen,
houses ramsacked during the absence Of
the occupants, and all sorts of petty crimes
committed. The Green brothers were sus-
pected, but no positive evidence was ever
produced against them. Last January
the brothers came to Dubuque, and left
for home at O. clock. That night nearly
every farmhouse between Dubuque and
Jackson county was entered and robbed.
The sheriff has beer working on the case
for several weeks, and Tuesday morning
succeeded in capturing his men, together
with several wagon loads of stolen goods.

help to solve it. If the colored people
were educated the chances would be better
that the races would live together on bet
ter terms; ignorance and vice go hand IN
hand. If the south alone was able and
willing to try to educate the colored race
the people of the north would not COM
plain; but if the south lacked either de-
sire or ability, it was right and proper
that the north should come to its aid.
Sem George said that if the senators on
both sides of the chamber were to bring
to the solution of the question (if a solution
were possible) the charity and kindness
and good feeling exhibited by the senator
from Colorado, a good deal of trouble
would be removed. The bill then went
over without action.
House.-Mr Henderson presented for
reference a resolution of the general as
sembly of Iowa favoring such legislation
in regard to car coupling as will protect
the life and limbs of railway employees.
Mr.. Perkins Kan stated that an er-
roneous idea had gone out that according
to the provisions of the Oklahoma bill
passed yesterday, the Cherokee outlet had
been declared open to settlement under the
homestead law. The statement should
have been made that the public land strip
not the Cherokee outlet. had been opened
for settlement. The Cherokee outlet was
embraced within the limits Of the new
territory but was not open to settlement
under the homestead law. The house
then went into committe of the whole
on the private calender.
SATURDAY, March -.
House.-Mr. Darrell from the COM
mittee On Pacific railroads reported
a resolution calling on the sec
rotary of the treasury for information
as to whether the government Is the owner
or holder of any of the first mortgage Sc
curities of any of the Pacific railroads
aided by the government, and if SO,
the amount of such securities and when
and in what manner, and by what author
ity the same was acquired. Adopted.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 24.-The Gen
eral Assembly failed to provide additional
pay for the commissioners of the revenue in
the bill requiring these officials TO list sep
arately the property of white and colored
eop,e, and for that reason the Governor
was asked to veto the bill. The sentiment
in favor OF the passage of the law was almost
unanimous in the General Assembly, as here.

will show the wealth of the colored brethren

Mr.. Saunders, the delegate from franklin
county, wishes it understood that he is the
author of the excise bill, and not Judge
Waller R. Staples. as some newspapers have
asserted. The excise bill is Mr.. Saunders
net hobby, and he purses it with the tender
ness of q young mother. He thinks the bill
will work to suit the anti coupon people and
if it does, Mr.. Saunders will try for Con-
sress in his district next election or the one
thereafter.

Mrs. Pade' fora.

The report published on Saturday 10 Bal
timore, that Mrs. Betiina Padelford, now
with the "Gondoliers" Company. had been.
or would be married to Mr.. J, ]. Rafael, the
tenor, caused much talk among theatrical
people, and in society. where, as Bette Ord
way, the lady ia well known If she Is not
married now, The will be some time in the
near future. To reporter on Saturday she
said II have not yet obtained divorce
from my husband, and neither has Mr.Ratfael
obtained one from hia wife, but as soon as
we obtain our divorces-well, can't say
what will happen. Jack 8 dear fellow, and
l am so fond OF him, and we do expect to be
married some time and that very soon.
have obtained divorce in England. but
understand that 1t is not legal 10 this count
~. MIR. Rafael ls also suing for divorce,
and it will not be long before the case will
come up in New York. A member of the
company stated that they all thought that
Mrs. Padelfora WAS married, as che intro
duced NJ. Re- Il ael as her husband. When
the wedding took place ia not exactly
known, as 1t was very quiet and on y few
friends were present. This week Mrs.
Padeiford is playing in Washington, and
much interest is manifested in that city in
her, as it is her first appearance there
in the roll of an opera singer. She is q
daughter of General Ofdway, and was very
we'll known in society in Washington before
her marriage Several years ago she visited
the White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia.
While there she made Baltimore msn
quite famous. She made a wager that she
could make this gentleman do anything she
asked. One evening 10 a crowded ballroom
she removed her slipper, and filing it with
champagne, requested the gentleman to
drink it, which he did.
disp,t from New York says: Mr.: Edward
Padelford has put in an answer to MS Wlie,s suit
for absolute divorce and the Judge has sent the
case to referee. Mrs PddelfoId brought her suit
for divorce soon after her return FROM Europe in
the fall. The couple were both willing to live
apart, and it was only upon hearing certain
stories about happenings while she wss in Europe
that Mrs Padelford determined to sue for divorce.
