 The people of the United States use more su- gar per capita than those of any country except England In the last fiscal year we imported 3.4S3, ,442, ,325 pounds of sugar of the value of S105 681 431 and produced 32 3Sl, $50 pounds The sugar produced in the United States is about one-eighth of the amount consumed. Intense anxiety prevailes at London among the relatives and friends of the crews of the Brightling fishing fleet, all the vessels of
 which were at sea when the recent storm burst upon the coast. Not one vessel of the fleet has returned to port since the gale began, and it is feared the fleet may have been overwhelmed by the terrible force of the hurricane. The commissioner of internal revenue esti-
 mates that the receipts from all sources for the fiscal year current will aggregate s15o, 900. This estimate takes for granted considerable
 increase ip the collections from distilled spirits, fermented liquors and cigars It is probable the reduction of the tax on manufactured tobacco and snuff from eight to six cents per pound | will decrease the receipts from this source s.. | 000 GOO.

TO MARCH UPON RIO JANE1Ro.

Forty Thousand men fin the New Loyal to the Dictator to be Attacked Five War Vessels in the Hands of the Insurgents. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Herald has the following from Brazil: Telegrams re- ceived via Buenos Ayres and Galveston from Paso de los Libres confirms the stories of revolt in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and add to the seriousness of the state of affairs.
 The Sixth regiment, it is reported, has joined the ranks of the insurgents at the town of Uruguayana on the Uruguay river, in the southwestern part of Rio Grande do Sul. Its commander, Colonel Salgado, also has gone over to the revolu- tionists.
 Their assertion of the dictator was en- Enthusiastically greeted by the inhabitants of Uruguayana, who appear to be unani- nous in their opposition to Fonseca.
 Besides Urugusyana, the towns of Pedrito, Alsgrito, Rosario and Itagui, have, it is said, declared in favor of the insurgents.
 The IOrCeS OI Uno new brSZ1uan 1unCa, which is composed of Dr. .Casol Ribeiro Dr. Assiz Brazil and General Osorio, are said to number now 10000 men. They are re- ported to be well armed and filled with en- thusiasm.
 Their leaders are said to be planning an immediate attack upon Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, which still remains loyal to the dictator.
 The garrison at Casapava is reported to have gone over to the rebels. This makes the fourth garrison that has deserted Fon- seca.
 At the towns of Santa Ana and Livra- monto the troops of the junta are said to be preparing to march upon Rio Janeiro. Confidence in the triumph Of the revolu- tion seems very strong among these troops, and they express eagerness for g battle with Fonseca's soldiers, declaring that they have no doubt of the lstter's overthrow.
 A conflict between the government and it's enemies seems imminent The government fleet at Itaguahi, con- sisting of two monitors and three gun boats, has been delivered up to the junta. This has caused great rejoicing among the insurgents.
 The United States steamer Essex ex- pected to go to the Rio Grande do Sul on Patos bay, but was unable to do so owing to the shoals at the entrance to the bay. Mail advices via Coatz state that the rev olutionists in Rio Grande do Sul sur rounded the arsenal at Itaqui yesterday. It was defended by three hundred govern ment troops.
 The insurgents demanded its surrender. The commander refused to deliver it up. An attack by the insurgents was expected to-day.
 The town is in great state of alarm, and the panic stricken inhabitants are fleeing from it.

Repairs 10 the NtantOuomOh Will be
 Completed About November 25.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Bennington was taken on the wooden dry dock at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday morning to have her bottom cleaned and painted. The Atlanta, which was floated out of the stone dry dock on Friday afternoon, was lying yesterday at the coal dock, where her bunkers were being filled. The Atlanta also received her ammunition.
 The Concord, which was moored along side the Miantonomoh, was ready for sea, the repairs on her steering gear having been completed. Her destination was be- lieved to be St. Thomas, West Indies, where she will report to Rear Admiral Gherardi. The Atlanta and Bennington, it was believed, though no orders were re- ceived by Commandant Erben, would pro ceed to Valparaiso.
 The Newark, the flagship of Rear Ad- miral A. E. K. Benham, is expected to arrive from the Boston navy yard to-mor- row or Tuesday. She will take on board her ammunition and some supplies needed for cruise in the South Pacific. The Chicago, the flagship of Rear Ad- miral Walker of the North Atlantic squad ioh, WAL hOt bV ASo0y AOA VIVA Ot SSAA days yet. The dry dock is being placed in readiness for her reception, as her bottom is in need of thorough overhauling and painting. She will go on the dock about Wednesday.
 The armorers at work on board the double turreted minitor Aisntonomoh were of the opinion yesterday that the repairs would be completed about November 25. No Designs on Hawaii. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Commodore Ramsay, who is acting to-day as secretary of the navy, denies positively that any or ders have been sent to the United States | steamer Charleston in China to seize the Hawaiian Islands under any stase of af- | fairs.
 The Charleston when last heard from was at Yokohama, Japan, and it has been | the intention to have her return to the United States as soon as the Lancaster, | with Admiral Harmony aboard, reaches | the China station. The Lancaster went around the Cape of Good Hope from New
 York and is probably now somewhere in | the Indian Ocean. When the Charleston is relieved she will naturally touch at Honolulu on her way home, as she cannot l carry sufficient coal to make the trip direct | from Asia to the United States.

An EstImabIe Young Lady Laid 10
Rest.

On Saturday evening surrounded by
bereaved parents and sorrowing sisters,
Linda Dowd departed this life. Deceased
was in her goth year, and was born in
North Bennington where she resided I'M
til a few years ago when her family set
tied in this village She had been an
employee in Cooper's mill and was dear
ly loved by those with whom she came
in daily contact She had quiet, retir-
ing disposition full of piety and zeal for
the glory of God. Since she first came
to this place she earnestly desired TO be-
come a member of the Sodality of the
Blessed Virgin Mary and when she
learned that reception would take place
last May she was among the first to en-
roll her name as candidate. She be-
came a member on the oath of May, and
during her illness it was her greatest
consolation next to the reception of the
Sacraments), the thought that she was "a
child of Mary" She was first taken sick
about eight months ago and she grad
ually grew worse. When she knew that
the angel Of death was lowering near she
made every effort in her power to prepare
for that most solemn moment. She had
no fear of death but talked cheerfully of
it and made every arrangement for her
funeral even to selecting her pall-Dearers
who were as follows: W. Watson, j.
Watson, NJ. Kelly, p Kelly, W. Gibney,
7. Green. The funeral took place Tues
day morning from ST. Francis de Sales
church where a High Mass of Requiem
was sang for the repose of her soul. Her
habit was white satin tastefully adorned
with roses. Around her neck was the
blue ribbon and medal, and draped over
her head was her white veil. The casket
was white embossed plush. The offer
ings of flowers were numerous and
showed the esteem and love of host of
friends. Among them was a pillow of
white flowers with the inscription: "a
child of Mary" This was the Offering
of her friends in the mill. The Sodality,
who deeply deplore the loss of a proms-
ing member followed her remains to its
last resting place. To the beroaved fam
lily we offer our heartfelt sympathy ADD
coincidence in this their hour Of dep
affliction: .....
A heavy cloud Is hanging
Ger that lonely home to day
The best the dearest loved one
Has passed from earth away.
..f. On. Linda dear and cherished. F-
Twas hard that thou shouldst go,
Thy stricken parents leaving
To mourn for thee below.
How fill the place left vacant,
Or consolation bearG
Be thou their help, o Saviour
And hear their feBvent prayer.
Teach them to bow submissive,
To say, Thy will be done,
And deign al last to call them
To that bright, Heavenly home.

Purge the Pension Lists.

1t the opinion OF General Grant and of General
Garfield. two gentlemen whose knowledge of what
they were talking about and whose patriotic judg-
ment will not be gansad that $50 coca year was
the maximum amount which the country ought to
be asked TO spend for pensions. They deemed it a
reasonable expectation that death should thin out
the ranks of the veterans there should be diminu-
ton of expenditure This expectation was realized
in the six years from 1872 to 1875 when the number
of pensioners fell off from 22 229 to 223 99S and the
payments from S3O,I69,3H in 1872 to s26s4 as in
1878. But with an excessive revenue which the
friends Of tariff spolaton were anxious to maintain
and an opportunity for plumber which claim agents
were quick to see Congress was induced year after
year open wider the Treasury gates to pension
plunderers. Six years aferward, in 1881, the num-
Der of pensioners had grown to S2S 100 and the
yearly disbursements to s57,27S5S6 Last year. six
years later the pensioners numbered 5S79H, and
the expenditures for pensions was sI06 493 800 The
tide is still swelling, and the demand for what is
called liberal legislation" is more voeiferouS than
1t is estimated that 10 per cent of the money
discussed goes to persons who are not entitled TO
Government assistance; and the peace establishment
OF the United States has become more costly than
the ornaments of the great powers which keep mil
lions of men in the field ready to spring at each
others Threats.
NOW that AT last the treasury surplus mas been
spent the payment of the public deptsuspended and
all forms of Industrial growth checked and stunted
by the increasing burden of taxation, the time has
come for repair and reparation. No deserving dis
abled veteran should suffer but the able-boded and
undeseTYng pensioners should be stricken from the
rolls. This is a great task, but not an impossible
one, and the veterans who, like Grant and Garfield
satisfied with justice, and asked nothing more
should take the lead in the work of wedding out the
tares from the wheat, the bounty jumpers and
hangers-on from the MANNED and disabled men who
were at the front and who carried the flag to final
victory

The Choristers' Camp.

On Friday morning of this week the Choir
listers of Ascension Church and the King S
Sons returned from their four days encamp-
ment upon the Monocacy river. The party
consisted of 10 persons, including the rector
and organist. They had rented from the
Forest and Stream Club their entire camping
outfit, and thus were most amply and COM
fortably provided for, and the encampment
was n thorough success. There were no acci-
dents and no sickness to mar the pleasure OF
the company, and the order was on the whole
good. Each day began with the Gloria Patri,
sung by the choristers about the breakfast
table. After breakfast came morning prayers.
Then followed fishing, games, bathing, &c,
until dinner time. In the afternoon the same
program would be reversed with some varia'
tons. After supper the camp fire was lighted,
and the evening was passed in telling stories
of ghosts, hunting, camping, &c. 1t is quite
safe to say that none of the boys will soon
forget their evenings about the camp fire.
They returned home sun burned and hearty,
and are now looking forward to next summer
and camp No. ..
