DEAR SIR.-We have used your Paint for some
six years, and think it the best paint in The
market. When we built our Bel Air Mills we
used New Jersey Enamel Paint. and on our re ST.
dence used pure Lead and Oil, and on our stable
New Jersey Enamel Paint. all the same time
The mills and stable, after three years wear, both
look well to-day. The residence which was
painted with Lead and Oil is entirely bare. Your
paint is cheaper and has given us great satisfac-
ton. Yours very truly,

my dwelling house this season, and will thank
you to send me, through mail, one of your sam
pie cards. Very truly yours,

BEN AND JIM.
Reported Understanding Re-
garding the Nomination.
1t is Said the Secretary VIII Be
Entirely Passive.

Whichever Is Nominated by the Repub-
Iieans win Receive the Hearty Support
of the other--Maine Republicans I'm
derstand the situation and in Due Time
win Start the Ball Rolling.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.--"I will tell
you what Blaine will do and say about
the nomination." said gentleman
whose relations to the secretary gave to
his words force and significance; che
will do and say just nothing whatever,
He has taken his stand, and no power or
earth can bulge him from it.
These words were addressed to a selec'
circle of gentlemen of both parties, yei
all equally interested in the question
which was the topic of conversation
The speaker has lately enjoyed excellent
opportunities for informing himself, and
could speak without betraying any con-
fidence.
Blaine he continued, "will spend
his time on the questions in the depart
ment, the affairs of which give him al
most unspeakable delight. He will not
open his lips or give single sign as to
the nomination. He is in the hands of
his countrymen. If there is any under
standing whatever between him and
Harrison, it includes this fact. Blaine
will do nothing to change it. The Maine
Republicans so understand it. In dae
time they will proceed to select dele-
cation that will present Blaine's name to
the nominating convention. They are
confident that their work will not be in
vain. Blaine knows what they intend
doing, and will not object, nor
will he say word in approval
When he is thus called by the action
of his supporters in the convention
he will come forth, and no man will
have it to say that he did q thing one
way or another to influence snch actit a.
Should President Harrison go ahead for
the nomination he will say nothing
about what he is doing. Should Hal1i-
son obtain the nomination, Blaine viii
give him his best support. Should he
be nominated he will expect Harrison to
do likewise. Maine would not act did
she feel there was the slightest doubt.
Maine thus acting tells the whole story.
1t can have but one Interpretation. Its
meaning is obvious. With it Blaine is
and will be content. / can't see, gentle
men, how you can ask more of Mr..
Blaine"
The speaker added that Mr.. Blaire
was in complete condition and felt like
race horse.

From Santiago.

SANTIAGO, Nov. 14.-According to ad-
vices received here civil war has un-
doubtedly broken out in Brazil, and the
revolutionary movement is spreading all
over the country. Several provinces are
already up in arms against the dictator,
and battle has been fought somewhere
in which Fonseca's supporters were de-
feated.
In addition to the revolt in the prov
ince of Rio Grande do Sui, it is state
here that the interior provinces of Mat
Crosse, Goyaz and Para, have either al
ready Joined issues with the rest of the
National party, or else they are on the
point of so doing.
1t is stated here that the plan of cam
paign of the leaders of the National
party is that each of the provinces Of
Rio Grande do Sui, Goyaz, Para. Per-
nambuco and Minas-Geraes, shall con-
centrate. at given point, all the fight
ing men possible, and that these forces
shall make combined forward move
ment upon the dictator's strongholds in
Sac Paulo and Rio Janeiro, and to use
their own expression, drive him and his
supporters into the sea, and elect presi-
dent of Brazil who will govern for the
people and according to the peoples
laws.
Chilians, after passing through just
such an experience as Brazil seems to he
undergoing. after having suffered
through long months of civil war dre
to conduct, upon part Of Balmaceda, a.
most indentical with that Of Da Fonseca,
are heartily in sympathy with the Ma
tionalist parry Of Brazil, and look for a
speedy overthrow of that country's Bal

Dispatches from Chill Concerning the
Brazilian Revolt.
New York, Nov. 14.-The Hera

New YORK, Nov. 14.-The Heralds
Valparaiso special says
Latest adj ces from the state of Rio
Grande do SUI, in Brazil, say that the
revolt again Dictator Fonseca continues
to spread The insurgents ranks are in
creasing III size hourly, and the rebels
show great holiness.
One band fully armed attacked and
captured the town of Santa Anna, on
the River Sino, north of the capital,
eral Fernandez A number of prisoners
were taken. Very light resistance was
made to the rebels, and, as a consc-
the capture of the place. This would
indicate that Santa Anna, which has a
population Of about $500 was at heart
friendly to the revolutionists.
Notwithstanding the report that the
garrison of Yugaraon had gone over to
the insurgents, it is now stated that the
town itself remains faithful to the cause
of Fonseca. Yugaraon, Santa Victoria
and Porto Alegre are said to be the on Y
towns that support the dictatorship.
All the Others in Rio Grand do Sui a-e
said to have espoused the side of the
rebels.
The revolutionists are reported to
have raised large bodies of volunteer
troops. Included in their forces are fl
cavalry, which deserted Fonseca as soon
as the revolt was proclaimed.
The Nationalists are credited with
having already made arrangements TO
place a force of 1000 men, horse, foot
and 11ot,-~ -, +I,a Ha11
In view of these facts and taking into
consideration the continued strict &C l.
sorship observed ove1 Ill telegraph ard
cable Offices in Brazil, no attention j
paid here to the denials sent out by Fon-
seca's orders to the effect that all Bra
lillian ministers abroad are to continue
to deny alarming reports spread
through Europe in regard to restoration
of monarchy and disturbance of pubic
order in Brazil"
In the same breath these orders say
that "Rio Janiero is perfectly quiet,
(Which is not denied, though Fonseca is
reported to have left that place for SO
Paulo), but the orders to the Brazilian
minister in London, add that the quiet
prevails in all the states except RI
Grande do Srl, where" it is explaine i
"the government has taken measures
put down the conflict arising from
struggle for supremacy between the two
parties"
If the Brazilian minister here is or
dered to continue denying alarming re-
ports, as to disturbance of public order
in Brazil, how can he do so when the
orders sent to him contain the admission
that there is a revolution in progress IN
Rio Grande do Sui? The fact is that
the situation is much more serious than
even the most alarming reports have set
forth

Gently been issued to the Bell Telephone
company which secures it the continued

learned from an authoritative source that
there is now pending in the patent ollce

Under the rules of the office an appli-
cation can be filed and the applicant has
two years in which to prosecute tue
claim. If it is to the interest of the in
ventor to delay matters as long az posi-
BILE and postpone the issuance of the pat
ent for number of years he can easily
do SO. By making this claim 80 broad

another two years, during which time
his device is buried in the secret archives
of the Office, If he wants action still
further postponed it is easy enough to
get up fictitious litigation, and by stub
born fighting and appealing consume
great deal more time. The case Of
Drawbaugh, who claimed priority of i'm
vention in the telephone, has dragged
along before the office since 1880, and
was only decided few days ago.
1t is estimated that the Bell company
might have prosecuted its claim to u sue
cessful issue long ago had it been so in
clined, but it has been to the company's
advantage to postpone issuance of tile
patent. Some of the fundamental pat
ents which now secure to it control of
the business will expire in few years,
and at the expiration every one could
make and operate telephones. If, how
ever, the company has patents which
will increase the efficiency of the instru-
ment it is to its advantage to keep this
fact secret until the time the old patents
expire, when, by placing the newly pat
ented instrument on the market, II win
have secured another lease Of seventeen
years of the business.

retirement Vt his country home with the
exception of about year, when he was
called at the urgent request Of Mr.. Cleve-
land to found Belford's Monthly Maga-
zine free trade journal. At the time OF
his death Dom Piatt was engaged on a
biographical history of General George II.
Thomas.
Some years ago he published a sharply
critical work entitled Memoirs of the
Men Who Saved the Union"
Colonel Piatt was a poet whose songs,
though not many, are passing sweet One
of them whose first verse is, "The bloom
was ON the elder and the tassel on the
corn" has been endlessly copied admired
and initiated. 1t deserves place in the
classic poetry of America, if we may be
said to have such a-thing.
When about thirty-siX, Dom Piatt
wooed and won Miss Louise Kirby,
daughter of Josiah Kirby, q rich and in.
fluential Cincinnatian, and was marri d
secretly owing to the fathers opposition.
Many years ago they built at Mac-o-

castle, where they dispensed quiet bu5

by conversion, and most devout. Being
chldless, il is understood she intends at
her death to present the mansion to some
religious order In her little oratory
mass has been said and prayers recit,d
for many long years.
Dom Piatt had at one time penchant
for spilitualism lat his serious leanings
were toward the church of her he loved.
He was master of the graces of social
life; his wit could smite or illumine as it

IN THE LAND OF THE VOLCANO.
A Surveying Party Finds Interesting
Changes In Lower California.


YUMA, A. r., Nov. 14.-The party
which has been engaged in surveying
lands in Lower California has just re-
turned. The party surveyed the Colo
RADIO from its source to its present
mouth. and made several INTEREST," Q
discoveries. They report that the
volcanic region showed the severity of
the recent earthquake troubles.
Fifteen of the most active volcanoes
in what is known as the west group are
almost obliterated, the only sign Of the
former location being she lava-like holes
almost filled with sulphur water. Tie
east group of the 800 volcanoes at Lake
Jululu have daily eruptions, and to the
south group have been added at least
one hundred large volcanoes during the
period of the earthquakes in July last.
On the south hill, where a year ago
no evidence Of volcanoes existed, the
grandest one in Lower California nov
appears. The chief one is in active oper-
alton. It's crater opening is 100 by 40 feet
in extent. Lake Jululu, formerly five
miles long by half n mile wide. is now
twenty-five miles long and twelve to
twenty-five miles in width. and with an
average depth Of twelve to twenty-f'
feet. Its waters formerly salt, are now
fresh owing to the overflow of the Col
orado.
On the homeward journey the party
discovered new Waterways parallel to
the Colorado leading into an unexplored
country between the Colorado and Nesa
divide, which separates Carter river
from New river. The newly discovered
waterway was found to be the inlet Of
the Colorado, entering fifteen miles be-
low Yuma.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA, - Secretary
Tracy and other officials of the navy de-
partment, when shown the dispatch
published that Admiral Gerhardi was to
be ordered to the relief Of the Admiral
Brown, of >mmand of the South Pacific
station and would proceed to Valparaiso
at once, stated that it had no foundation
whatever. No such orders, they said,
have been issued and so far as they know
none have been contemplated by the
administration.
Admiral Ljherardi, it is said, will con-
tinue to cruise in the vicinity of
the West Indies, where he now is.
The department ordered the Concord to
join the Philadelphia and Kearsarge in
the West Indies, and she will probably
leave New York on Monday or Tuesday
for st. Thomas. The report that Ad-
miral Gherardi would act as minister
to Chill, relieving Minister Egan, is
laughed at by department officials.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-A special to The
Press from Washington says it is quite
evident that the president and Secretary
Blaine do not propose to let Chill long re-
main in ignorance of the fact that the
United States has made substantial
progress in the building of navy. The
news has leaked out that there is no
change in the assignments of number
of vessels, which will result in the con-
centration of such feet of warships in
the harbor Of Valparaiso as to amount to
a naval demonstration.
Orders have been sent, it is said. to
Rear Admiral Gherardi, to proceed at
once to Valparaiso and assume COM
mand of the South Pacific station. Rear
Admiral Brown, now in command there,
will be detached and placed ON waiting

easy call at Rio JaneIio. This concen-
tration of wlrships will carry nearly 100
