Now estimating the phospho
rio acid at 5 cents per pound; the
ammonia - cents per pound,
and potash 5 cents per pound,
the ingredients alone of a ton of
this guano are worth $1S.1S, or
6S cents more than the guaran-
teed value, while we understand
that the average analysis from
samples taken from all over the
State, show even a higher value
than this.
This is an excellent showing
and we wish to congratulate
Business Agent Worth, and the
manufacturers of this guanO
upon it. Also we wish to CON
graduate the farmers upon the
fact that if they must use the
stuff, that they are getting more
valuable ingredients for the
same money through the agency
of the Alliance, than ever be-
fore.

The Revival of the Revolution.

The New York Times prints the fol
lowing special cable from Rio de
Janeiro:
Already the revolution. by means of
which Dom Pedro was dethroned 80
quietly and without bloodshed, has
begun to develop serious trouble. and
the Republican leaders are finding
that it is not 81 simple a matter to
overturn an empire and establish a
settled government in its place as
their easy success first seemed to in
dictate.
Mutiny has broken ont among the
soldiers of this city, and bloody scenes
of riot are imminent. The govern
ment is taking every mems in it's
power to suppress the uprising, and
has made many arrests.
Rumors of the trouble have been
heard for several days, and arrests
have been made of insurgents. Cable
and Geographic messages have been
submitted to careful inspection bv
government agents before they have
been allowed to transmit to the PROV
inces or to foreign countries.

How he Paid the Bill.

Some years ago, when Judge H. G

about it. The judge, then a plain col
onel, lately returned from the war,
frankly confessed that he was bust

time.

That's so, said the gentleman: all

Col. Hicks brought the suit, con
fessed Judgment, sent in his bill for
$50 attorneys fee, collected it, then
settled the judgment. From that time
on he had all the firms law business.

The Secret Out at Last.
WHY GOV. HILL GOT SO MANY LETTERS
FROM THE FAIR SEX.

The story of a good joke on GOV.
Hill, of New York. has inst leaked ont.
For some time after election it was
noticed that the Governors private
mail was growing unusually bulky.
Most of the letters were from the
West, and first it was supposed they
were congratulations missives from
new found friends on the magnitcen Mt
results, but it was noticed that the
Governor carefully destroyed every
one of them and was particularly
wrathful if approached on the sub
ject. The number kept up and ratll-
er seemed to be increasing.
Then it was noticed that all the adj
dresses in various STYLES of UNI
mistakably feminine handwriting.
This reused the curiosity of the clerks.
There was no suffrage convention 90
ing on that they knew of, and no par
ticulary bad murderer who command
ed wholesale feminine influence to Sc
cure Il reprieve. At last the secret
got ont. Some iiend had sent the
name of David b. Hill to il Western
matrimonial agency as Il candidate
for correspondence with Il view of
matrimony. There was no shutting
off the flood, and every day brings
scores of tender missives, photo
graphs and pertinent inquiries to har-
row up the sensitive soul of the bache-
Tor political chief. 1t is the best Joke
OF the season, and the fun Of it is that
the Governor doesn't know whom to

They always migrate together, but
unlike most migratory birds, they

they fly to the nearest wood to roost.
