The news from Brazil last week was that the President, Da Fonseca, had been obliged to resign, doing so in fa- vor of the vice-president, Peixotto. Da- Fonseca had attempted to assume the role of military dictator, but the peo- pie do not seem to have felt that that was what the country required. There was 8 very lively revolution in the Pro- vince of Rio Grande do Sul, and in the Capital there were plain and unmistak- able expressions of the popular senti- ment. viz-the destruction of the offices of the government newspapers and the capture of the naval arsenal. Da Fon- seca stated that he resigned to avert g civil war. The indications now are that if the new President is wise, and gov erns according to the Constitution, that an era of prosperity will ensue. There has been an increase of immigration aud revival of business in the last two years. The reciprocity treaty with the b. s. government will also be decided benefit.

Orders of Arrest Out.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA suit has been in- stituted against the wrecked Wall street firm of Field, Lindley, Wieche1s & Co.,, who failed a few days ago, and orders for the ar rest of the members of the firm issued. The plaintiff in the case is R. D. Dietz. Yester- day afternoon his counsel, F. A. Ward, ap- peared before Judge Calvin E. Pratt in the supreme court, Brooklyn, and asked for an attachment against the firms prop erty and for an order for the arrest of the firm. The firm, it was stated was indebted to MT, Dietz in the sum of $95, ,000 The att tachment was issued and the orders of ar rest also. Bail was fixed at $50,000.
 The members of the firm are Edward M Field, son of Cyrus w. Field; Daniel A. Lindley and Messrs. Wiechers and Hilmers. The orders of arrest were placed in the hands of Sheriff German, of New York. With the announcement of the liabilities of Field, Linley, Wiechers & Co., the news now comes of the serious illness of nearly every mem. Der of the Field family. It was stated on good authority last evening that the malady of Edward M. Field had developed SO much that little hopes are entertained of his ever recovering his reason.
 Cyrus w. Fields condition was not en- couraging last night. The recent loss of his wife, followed by the financial difficulties
 
 and illness of his son, have not been with out their effect on the old man. Dr. Eugene M Fuller, his medical attendant, says:
 ''Mr Fields condition is certainly critical He is an old man, and it is difficult to say what the outcome of his illness may be. have still hopes for him..
 II have just deposited $500 in the bank, , said Assignee Charles w. Gould yesterday ''This sum includes all the assets of the firm of Field, Lindley Wiechers & Go. which are in sight at present. One of the clerks told me today that he thought he knew where there was s2,o00 that could be col lected I told him to drop everything else at once and go for that S2,OOO We couldn't find enough money this morning to pay the clerks"
 Mr. Gould was asked where the money had gone, but he only said, "I wish knew" in a wistful tone.
 The firms liabilities are $8OO,OOO.

The Gravest Doubts Are Entertained of

 BOSTON, Dec. 1.-General Butler is seri- ously i'll at his home in Lowell Every ef- fort has been made by his family and his physician to keep the Knowledge of his con- dition from the newspapers, and, indeed, so far as possible, from the general himself But it can safely be said that the gravest doubts of his recovery are entertained by those who are in position to know most about his condition, and some of them as~ sert that he will never again be able to leave his home,
 General Butler was seventy three years old the 5th of last month. He has aged rapid- ly of late. There was the same witty re- mark and sarcastic rejoinder, but there was more feebleness of step and greater trem- bling of hand and voice than formerly.
 When the case against Mrs. Johnson, who was convicted of perjury in a pension case, had been fought through and the woman finally discharged, General Butler declared that he would never take another criminal c0Sa
