epce OF John was to pass such 4 panorama
as no man ever before saw or ever will see
in this world, and hence the gloom of his
surroundings was a help rather than a
hindrance. All the surroundings of the
place affected ST. John imagery when he
speaks of heaven. st. John, hungry from
enforced abstinence, or having no food
except that at which his appetite revolted,
thinks of heaven: and as the furnished man
is apt to dream of bountiful tables covered
with luxur1es, SO St. John says of the in
habitants of heaven, They shall hunger no
more" Scarcity of fresh water on Patmos
and the hot tongue of St. Johns thirst leads
him TO admire heaven as he says, They
shall thirst no more
ST. John hears the waves of the sea wildly
dashing against the rocks and each wave
has voice and all the waves together make
q chorus and they remind him Of the multi
tadlnous anthems of heaven, and he says
They are like the voice of many waters. :"
One day, as he looked of upon the sea, the
waters were very smooth as it is to-day
while we sail them in the Minerva. and
they were like glass and the sunlight
seemed to set them on fire, and there was
a miugling of white light and intense flame,
and as St. John looked out from his cavern
home upon that brilliant sea, he thought Of
the splendors of heaven and describes them
las sea of glass mingled with fire."
Yes, seated in the dark cavern of Patmos,
though homesick and hungry and loaded
with Domitian's anathemas. ST. John was
the most fortunate man on earth because of
the panorama that passed before the mouth
of that cavern.

Fonseca Abdicases.

WASHINGTON. November 30.-Minis-
ter Mondonca received q cahlegram from
the Brazilian minister of foreign al
fairs to- night, which officially confirms
the cable dispatches from Brazil about
the resignation OF President Fonseca,
and stating thatVice President Peixotto
had succeeded him. Minister Mendon-
ca said that the receipt of the news
gave him great pleasure, as there had
been no bloodshed, and tranquility will
now prevail, and the change will estab-
lish harmony among the Brazilian peo-
pie. He said that Fonseca was not q
man to cause bloodshed, and would viii
iingly sacrifice the honor and glory of
his high position rather than cause q
civil war. and as the uprising IN Brazil
was national movement, the people
not being in accord with the policy of
Fonseca, he bowed to the inevitable and
retired. He also believed it to be the
desire of the people of Brazil to support
the deposed congress, and that Presi-
dent Peixotto would be in thorough &C
cord with it. Minister Mendonca is ex-
pecting further advices from Brazil in
regard to the present cabinet and what
changes may take place in it.

the 2-year-old son Of David T. Beals,

Just as the family was finishing din-

that she would 60 out after the evening
paper. which is always delivered on the
veranda of the house. She had b.en
gone only few minutes when Mr. Beal
heard an outer door slam. This. while
not being unusual at all, somehow ex
cited Mr.. Beal's suspicion, and going
into the hall he found that his little son
was not playing about. The child had
been playing IN the hall with two of
Mr.. Beal's grandchildren. Upon being
questioned they said that Lizzie lad

A week broken by a holiday ha.

Minneapolis, saw mills have closed the
largest season Oh record, while the flour
mills. though troubled by ice, turn out
$4,000 barrels daily. At Milwaukee
business is satisfactory, bnt larger with
the vest where crops and money are
| plenty.
AT Kansas City there is healthy ac-
tlvity, and cattle and grain receipts i'm.
prove. Denver shows trade good but
Salt Lake is dull, with poor collections.
Southern cities report better trade; at
Nashville and Montgomery very fair; at
Charleston good, with improving ex-
porto; at New Orleans receipts of cotton
and sugar arc large. and both in good
demand, and Savannah alone reports
present trade light and money no easier,
but prospects bright.
Speculation during the past week has
not been generally active, but a corner
at Chicago has put up corn 3 cents for
immediate delivery, and pork is %
cents higher: oats II cents, ana wheat
! cents per bushel higher, while cotton
and sugar are heavy. The receipts of
cotton exceed those of the same week
last year by $4,000 bales, and the ex-
ports by %, 600 bales, but the stocks in
the country are 52l 900 bales larger.
Wheat receipts at the west continue at
the rate OF 100000 bushels for the full
week, and exports have been 1900, 900
