doing this with Uncle Sam all the time.
You can get new greenbacks for old ones

hundreds Of clerks who do nothing but
count old bills, do them up into packages,
have them punched with holes, showing
they are not to be used again, and
then cut in two with q sort of

perfectly worthless. If you have bills
chewed up by rats, you can bring the
pieces here and you will get new ones for
them. II you hide your money in your

THE BRAZILIAN SITUATION.
Fonseca and the Revo1utionists Can't Get
at Each Other.

Fonseca and the Revolutionists Can't Get
at Each Other.
A dispatch from Montevido says that
affairs are at a standstill as between
Fonseca and the junta of Rio Grande do
Sui. This is not because either party is
afraid to fight, but because they cannot
get at each other. The junta's naval
force hardly deserves the name of
fleet, and is chiefly composed of small
steamers that were used by the govern
ment for custom house purposes There
is also gunboat or two, but none that
could cope in open waters with the
powerful squadron at the command of
Fonseca. On the other hand, the con-
dition of the interior is impossible for
artillery, the roads in the woods being
mere pathways, and this and
the bars that protect Rio Grand do
Sui and the mouth of the salt
water inlet that gives access to
Porto d'Alege, make it extremely diff
cult Tor Fonseca to bring either formid-
able naval or military force to bear
against the province which refused to
recognize his supremacy. The two par
ties, therefore, are for the present in
condition of reserved hostility. Fonse-
ca may at any moment succeed in over
coming the barriers that stand
in the way of invasion, and
the Junta may grow bold enough
to strike an offensive blow: but
for the present the contest is confined
TO an interchange of messages. The
Junta has a military force that would Of
fer a powerful resistance on it's own
ground to any attack by Fonseca's
troops. The fighting reported has been
little more than desultory encounters
in the Rio Grande province
between the forces of the Junta and
small bodies of regular troops that
refused to give up their adherence to
Fonseca. In these encounters the Jun
ia has been successful, and the whole
province is now substantially in obedi-
ence to the Junta. Uruguay continues
to maintain strict neutrality, and the
numerous refugees at Montevideo have
bee:a cautioned that they may not use
the territory of Uruguay as a base of
operations against Brazil.

Many Hurt in a Stampede.

At Pittsburg, on the Goth, an explos-
ion of a gasoline stove at tho Auditor
ium, where fair for the benefit of the
South Side Hospital was in progress,
caused panic, and q number Of per-
sons were slightly burned and injured.
The explosion occurred during the dim
ner hour, and about 800 people were in
the building. When the cry of fire was
raised there was q general rush for the
doors. Several women tainted, and a
number of others were knocked down
and trampled. A few cool heads, how
ever, turned their attention to the fire,
which was blazing high and threatened
to communicate to the decorations, and
with coats and blankets succeeded i'll
smothering the flames. In doing SO
their hands were painfully burned. No
one was seriously injured, and with the
subduing of the flames, order was re
stored and many of the people returned
The loss was slight.
