CIVIL WAR IN BRAZIL
Two Provinces Have RevOlted
 Against the Dictator.
SERIOUS FIGHTING REPORTED.
Several Other States Expected to Declare Their Independence.

Rio Grande do Sul and Grao Para in Open
 Mutjny-Telegraph Wires Cut All Over
 the Country-Rumor that Fonseca VIII
 Resign Bitter Opposition of German
 Notwithstanding State of Affairs.
 PERNAMBUCo, Brazil, Nov. 1.-The province of Grao Para has declared it's independence and will resist President Fonseca. The province of Bahia is ex- pected to do likewise.
 RIO JANEIRo, Nov. 11.-There is no longer any doubt that the province of Grao Para has followed that of Rio Grande do Sul in declaration of inde- pendence of the Fonseca government. Two other provinces are expected to re- volt also. It is reported that General da Fonseca has been informed that he is suffering from a disease which must cause his death, and he has announced his willingness to resign
 LONDON, Nov. 10.-Owing to the strict guard kept by the Brazilian government over the telegraph and cable lines it is almost impossible to obtain reliable news as to the exact state of the country. It is now generally admitted, however, that the Province of Rio Grande do Sul has declared it's independence, and, as it includes 50. 900 fighting Germans in it's population, the revolution there is undoubtedly serious.
 The German population of this prov ince is reported to be organizing into armed bodies on the plan of the Dutch settlers of South Africa. The troops under the command of General da Fon- seca are said to have been ordered to move on Rio Grande do Sul. This re- port, however, is not believed here, as it is understood that the dictator has been warned to do everything possible to avoid bloodshed.
 The report of fighting in the province of Rio Grande do Sul has been con- firmed. The trouble is said to have it's centre at Port Allegro, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul. The telegraph wires leading from there have been cut.

A RECENTLY published statement population in the several states, based upon the official census returns and re- ports to the internal revenue bureau, embodies some curious facts. It ap- pears, for instance, that the number of taxed retail liquor dealers is lower in proportion to the population in the so- called fire-eating southern states, where consumption is confined to whiskey, than in the more conservative common wealths of the north. Thus, in Ala 1,1S8 inhabitants; in Arkansas one to 1,170 inhabitants; and in South Caro- lima one to 1,153; while in the prohibit tion state of Vermont there is one liquor dealer to every S63 inhabitants. In. deed, the statement seems to bear rather unfavorably on all the prohibition states. We find, speaking specifically, that Kansas has one liquor dealer to 923 inhabitants; Maine, the parent of the whole prohibition system, has one deal CT to 702 inhabitants; while in Iowa there Is one authorized liquor seller to every 455 people. Montana has the maximum of dealers to population, there being one to every sixty persons. Nevada comes next, and is followed by California with one to every ninety-one' The state of New York has one liquor dealer to 157 inhabitants.

THE COTTON CROP.
It is Under the Average on Account of
 Rain and Frost.

It Is Under the Average AccoEnt of
 Rain and Frost.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The cotton re- turns of the Department of Agriculture for November are not favorab' rc~ [ high rate of yield. The lateness of the crop, the extremes of temperature, the excess of rainfall followed by drought, causing enfeebled vitality and loss of fo- liage and fruit, have been unfavorable for large crop. On the northern bor- der of the belt killing frosts occurred on the 18th; in some places as early as the 23d. West of the Mississippi there has been some improvement during the past month.
 The season has been very favorable for picking. Quality is almost everywhere reported high and the fibre is of good color and unusually free from trash. fhe yield, as averaged from the county estimates, averages 179 pounds per acre, distributed by States as follows: Virginia, 151; North Carolina, IFS; South Carolina, 160; Georgia, 155; Florida, 120; Alabama, 165; Mississippi 190; Louisiana, 200; Texas, 195; Arka h. sas, 210; Tennessee, ITO.
 As killing frosts have not yet been general in the southern and western sections of the belt it is possible, with favorable weather foll owing, that cur rent expectations may be slightly ex- ceedad

ury of having one at allv'
 Deacon Miles smiled-a hard, hyena- like smile.
 "Its the custom" said he. And we'd all ought to do our duty.'
 But l. hain't nothing to give" pleaded the honest farmer. "Crops has been short this year, and l never felt poorer in all my born daysr'
 "There's them russet apples O yourn?" suggested the deacon.
 "Oh, good land O GoshenI' said Mir. Gregory. "Ain't fit to feed to the pigs!"
 Do not speak hastily, Brother Greg ory," said the deacon, sanctimoniously. ''I do not in the least doubt but that, to our clergyman, all the goodly fruits of the earth will be useful and accept able"
 But them ain't goodly," said Mr. Gregory, with a grimace. "I like MT. Corbin, and I'd like to give somethin' worth havin' to the donation. But can't And that's how I'm situated ez- actly!'
 The deacon smiled again-the same adamantine, dentists showcase sort of a smile, and went home to pick out the leanest of his fowls, the sourest and hardest of his dried apples, the most questionable bag of last seasons buck wheat to make gift offering to the Lord. For the deacon was a thrifty and well-to-do individual, with money in the bank and a conveniently elastic conscience. And he was already plan ming to do little ''serious'' match making, whereby he might foist off his hard visaged daughter Prudence, who had just passed her nine and-thirtieth summer, upon the new minister, who, luckily, was still unmarried.
 "A clergyman" said the deacon, pi- ously, "can greatly enlarge the field of his usefulness by forming a judicious alliance with some sensible female who feels the importance of the ministry" And, to speak the truth, a hint of this little conspiracy dropped into MT. Corbin's ear had already tended to make him not little uneasy. For Miss Prudence Malinda Miles had a countenance like a wooden doll and a figure resembling a bed-post.
 MT. Corbin was sitting at his desk, considering the "Thirdly'' of his ser mon that day, when old Hester, his colored housekeeper, came to the door.
 "Please, sir," said she, ''there's MT. Gregory's Patty wants to speak to you. "
 Ask her to enter," said MT. Corbin. 1T have seen her occasionally in the Bible class, and she is devout and finely natured damsel."
 Patty Gregory came in accordingly a rosy, fresh-faced girl, with limpid brown eyes, laughing lips and jet-black hair forming itself into natural rings and tendrils on her forehead. IGMr HOr1DiI, ha fipoi51u "would you like a basket of blackber. ries?"
 'Blackberrics2' repeated the good man, thinking how like one of Mil. lais' pictures Patty looked, as she stood there in the checkered shadows of the hop-vines which were trained across the. study window. "Truly, they are a goodly fruit and most Jus cious to the taste.'
 I'm so glad you like them," said Patty. Because I've picked nearly peck on Mulloch hill, and-and ia, ther is poor and we have nothing tc

give you at the donation party. And I should be so thankful, because father feels that he has enjoyed your ser mons, and he would like to give some thing, be it ever so little"
 ''The gift is most welcome, Miss Patty" said MT. Corbin. And so Patty Gregory went away, leaving him in a sort of brown study.
 Father" said Patty, when the good farmer came to supper, 'T've thought of something."
 You always was a master one for thinking" said MT. Gregory.
 That old engraving that Grandfa- ther Mullet left us in his will," ex- plained Patty, with the bronze frame, that hangs over the best-room mantel; Martha and Mary at Bethany don't you remember? The one that MT. Cor bin admired so much when he was here. Pm told that the scholars and gentlefolks admire those old en- cravings. And why don't you give it to MT. Corbin for the donation?"
 ''I'm ashamed to take an old pictur like that" said MT. Gregory, dubious ly. Before Widow Starke, with her barrel O flour, and Squire Hodges quarter O lamb, and Mir. Johnson's fir kin O June butter, and all them things as is really worth somethingr'
 "Ask him if he would like it," sug- gested Patty. And take it quietly around before anyone else comes"
 Ut ain't bad idea,' said Mir. Greg. ory, smiting his hand OF the table. ''I

HoRsEFLEsH has long been an article of human food in Berlin, and from re- cent statistics it appears to be growing in favor. There is no hiding of the real description of the meat. The butcher kills the worn out beasts of burden, and hangs up the carcasses as horsefiesh. The customer, bent on a juicy steak or an appetizing roasting cut, asks for horsefesh. He does not imagine that bull beef is being supplied, or that he is even getting a cut from a youthful prancing Arab. He pays for old horse and gets it. The vendors of horsefiesh are going to celebrate the improvement in their trade by a great banquet in Berlin, at the end of November. They can we'll afford to do so, as last year 6,O99 horses were slaughtered in Berlin, or 300 more than were turned into food during the previous year.

 The struggle of the Dockers' Union of London threatens to terminate disas- trously. It is said that the officers of the Unio n have become lukewarm, and that their management has been bad.

P PROSPEROUS as It may sound it is nevertheless true that some of the most interruptions republicans are actually seriously entertaining the idea of steal ing the seat in the senate to which Hon Calvin s. Brice was elected by the legis- lature of Ohio. As yet this movement is confined to sounding republican sena- tors to ascertain if they will vote to re- ject Senator Brice on the ground that he is not a citizen of Ohio. Those engaged in this despicable work suppose that it is a secret, and, if upon a count of noses, they find that they cannot con- trol enough votes to succeed ln the bare faced theft, it will not be openly at tempted. Fortunately the republican majority in the senate is a small one, and some of the republican senators are honorable enough and independent enough to do what they believe to be right, even to the extent of defying a republican caucus. It is these men that will prevent this political crime, if it is prevented. It is not known what MT Harrison thinks of this thing, but it is claimed that Secretary Foster is in favor of it, and that he is aiding in sounding the senators as they arrive at Washing ton. It is difficult to believe that the republicans in the senate, much as they would like to add one more vote to their rapidly waning majority, will resort to any such method ofdoing it. Still, one must have a very short memory who will dare to predict to a certainty that it will not be done. But the prediction may be safely made that if it is done the honest people of this country will see that it is followed by the speedy pun ishment of those who are guilty. Par tisanship may under certain circum- stances be excused, but dishonesty never. If Senator Brice has not clear title to his seat no member of the senate has.

soiU That 'Marthy' is pretty picter, when you come to look close at it. The palm trees is dreadful natural and the well almost makes you feel thirsty. It's sacred subject, too, and ought to suit the parson. I'll take 1t around this very day. P'raps he qOiU be pleased"
 But maybe you'd better ask him first, father" said Patty.
 So that MT. Corbin's quietude was a second time interrupted by Mir. Greg ory, eager and smiling.
 ''I guess, parson," said he, tI've got somethin' as II suit you tAis timep'
 "For-?" MT. Corbin looked inquir- ingly up.
 For the donation party" said the farmer. Its my 'Marthy.'"
 "Sirr' exclaimed the clergyman, in surprise.
 ''They tell me you like her." said MT. Gregory, in an off f-hand manner .
 "I do." said the clergyman. ''very much, indeed. You can hardly tell how much; but"
 "Then you're welcome to her," said the farmer.
 ''To-"
 "To my 'Marthyr" beamed Mr. Gregory. "Shall I bring her around here?"
 By no means," said MT. Corbin, hur- riedly. "I would much prefer to see her-if you really are in earnest-at the farmhouse
 "Never was more in earnest in my life," said MT. Gregory, rubbing his hands.
 And being a man of few words he went away, leaving MT. Corbin bewil- dered beyond expression.~
 But this is very strange!' he ex- claimed, rising from his chair and pac- 'ng up and down the floor. ''How have hey ever surmised that l was partial this beautiful young brunette? Is

 she willing to become my wife upon such short notice? Ought I to take advantage of her inexperience?"
 "Now, Marse Corbin." suggested old Aunt Hester, who from the window which she was cleaning had taken in" the whole situation. "don' you go fyin' in de face of Providence. Miss Patty Gregory's as pretty as a pictur' and as sweet as peach; an eff her pas done willin to glib her to you, jes' tux her an be thankful.'
 "Hester," said the clergyman, "you are philosopher; and in your re- marks trace the rudiments of much good sense."
 So he took Hester's advice and pro- ceeded that very afternoon to the Greg ory farm, where Mir. Gregory was painting the doorstep, and Patty was thriftily endeavorlng to mend ragged spot in the carpet of the best room.
 The farmer greeted him with bolster ous delight.
 "So you've really come arter my 'Marthy?' said he. "Well, am proud"
 q don't know how I shall ever ex- press my gratitude" said sthe clergy man.
 "Don't speak of it." said Mir. Greg ory. 'sWalk in, walk in. Patty, here's the parson." Mir. Corbin scarcely dared to glance at Miss Gregory; but she smiled and nodded at him with the greatest com posture.
 ''There it is,' said Mir. Gregory, point ing his kpotty forefnger at the wall, ''just as my poor grandmother left it to me, bronze frame and all." "There is-what?" asked the clergy | man.
 My 'Marthy,' to be sure," answered MT. Gregory, in surprise. "Ohr' said MT. Corbin, his counte- nance falling. IT thought you | meant-I didn't know"
 ''Ehr' said MT. Gregory. ''It's my picter of 'Marthy and Mary at Beth any'-a hundred years old, and not to be duplicated, they tell me, this side of the Atlantic"
 ''Yes, I've no doubt it is very valu- able," said MT. Corbin. "But not so valuable as-your daughter!''
 "As-my-daughter!" repeated MT. Gregory.
 ''I thought it. was thts Martha you meant" said the clergyman, gatherin g courage to advance and get possession of Patty's slim, brown hand. "It cer- | tainly was this Martha that wanted!'
 MT. Gregory glanced from one to the other, lifted his shaggy, gray eyebrows and drew a long breath.
 "Well," said he, Eff Patty hain't no Iobjection, Ihain't. What say you, lit tie gal? Have you a mind to be my do- nation to the minister, instead O the old engraving?' "Oh! father!' said Patty.
 'Mr. Corbin," said the farmer, II don't believe she'll object" 'tOh! father!'' once more uttered Pat | ty, hiding her face. | And you two can talk it over, while go out and finish that there job O paintin'," added MT. Gregory.
 But did you really think that father meant mae?" said Patty, incredulously. 'I really did," confessed the young man.
 | "How very strange you must have thought it," observed Patty.
 q thought it very nice," said Mr. \ Corbin.
 "Do you really-love me?" asked Patty.
 'I really do," declared MT. Corbin. . So they were married within three months; and Miss Prudence Malinda Miles is still an ungathered rose on the deacon's family tree.-Amy Randolph, ir N T,odoors
