THE UNITED STATES OF BRAZIL.

The "United States of Brazil'' is a
with unpleasant qualification and uncer-
tainty. Whether General Fonseca is
president, usurper, dictator OR tyrant
will be clearer when the press and the
telegraph of that country get release
from the present governmental manipu-
lation. Fonseca declares that he is
loyal to the republic, and that although
he has dispersed the congress, he has
called meeting of new congress for
January, which he expects viii revise
the constitution to suit his own notions
as to what q constitution for such a re-
public as Brazil should be. The Brazil
ian estates" are spread over an i'm
mense territory nearly as large as all
Europe, and some of them are as unlike
as they are remote from each other.
Over eighty per cent. OF the population
cannot read. large part of the more
educated people, disgusted with Romish
superstitions, have gone over into athe-
ism. The ecclesiastical authorities, ex-
asperated by the limitations put on their
rights to control education. and
nearly everything else by the new re-
public, are at heart Gisloyal to it. 4

ing, but it has not been attended by a
corresponding true religious culture.
For these reasons there does not exist.
as yet sufficient basis in the moral ideals
of the people for any secure and high
order OF popular government. To what
extent secession has broken out and
what armed conflicts between the
republic under Fonseca, and certain
of the states, it is.impossible from pres
ent imperfect and contradictory reports,
to speak with any certainty. One thing
is sure, Fonseca knows and feels he is
on uncertain ground, and rumor says he
has sent in his resignation, hoping to
quiet the disturbing influences that are
tending to overthrow the government.
Brazil cannot hope or expect to maintain
"a republican form of government
with her mixed population OF negroes,
aboriginal Indians, and Europeans.
Their great illiteracy as q mass is not
guarantee for faithfulness in govern
mental relations, as is demonstrated
since the downfall of the Dom Pedro dy-
nasty. Internal strife has been the out
come of their people, and bloodshed and
continued eruptions of sentiment must
be expected.

AZ inches. The air and circulating
pumps will be driven independently,
and the four main condensers will have
an area of 1850 square feet.
Steam will be furnished by six boilers,
heated by eight furnaces. The former
will be OF the type known as horizontal
return, five-tublar boilers, and will be
placed two abreast in three water-tight
compartments. They will be 13 feet, 3
inches in diameter and 81 feet, inches
in length. The working steam pressure
will be 100 pounds to the square inch,
the total CRATE surface 996 square feet,
and the total heating surface 3l,19O
square feet. In addition to these, there
will be two auxiliary boilers above the
protective deck. Both the main and
auxiliary boilers will he fitted to work
under forced draught on the air-tight
fire room system. Experts agree that
the arrangement of the engines in the
New York show great economy at low
speeds, and it is estimated that on a
bunker capacity of 800 tons the cruiser
will have an endurance of $4,000 miles,
more than one-half around the world, at
a speed of ten knots.

The Office of brigadier-general of the
Oregon state militia is now vacant, and
Governor Pennoyer will soon make the
appointment to fill the vacancy. Briga-

have been made to the governor, but he

1t is difficult to draw to dark picture
of the suffering of the people of Kansas
through the borrowing of money. The
Howard citizen says that in Elk county,
from Jan. 1, 1890, to Oct. 1890, 175 mort
cages were foreclosed by the sheriff
average of 141a per month. Nearly
all of these judgements were for interest
only, on the second mortgage given to
secure the payment of the interest cou-
pons. These 175 sheriff's sales brought
$44 OPS, but as the amount of the
judgements was $134 ,34S, the farmers
that have been sold out are worth $685.
$40 less than nothing. Either parts of
Kansas are too poor to support even
grasshoppers or the settlers have bor-
rowed recklessly.

The San Francisco Bulletin has this to
say in regard to shipments of flour from
this coast: 1t is noticed that Oregon
has recently been shipping more -four to
Europe than. California. 1t was at one
time supposed that we should be able to
send Il considerable quantity of Califor-
mia -four to Europe, and to this end it
was proposed to put up one of the
largest mills on this coast The build
ing, II very large and substantial struc-
ture, was erected, but the mill machin-
cry has never been put up, and has
probably never been ordered Oregon
has an advantage of cheaper mill power
than California, but California -four has
been much appreciated in England.

The largest and most formidable war
ship ever built for the United States is
the New York, recently built in the
Philadelphia navy yards.
The New York, though not exactly
sister ship of the Maine and Texas, will
be an armored cruiser of the same type,
and one of which the state in whose
honor she is named may well be proud.
The mission of the vessel will be to
carry a war into the enemy's territory,
and though not intended to fight in the
line of battle, her guns will be suffi-
GENTLY powerful to enable her to give
good account of herself against all COM
ers. She at least will not be forced to
run away that she may Give to fight

with some of the vessels in commission.

There will be four separate engines,
each having power of 4,500 horses.
Two of these will work the shaft for the
starboard screw and two that for the
port These engines will be SO ar

allowing the vessel to cruise under half
power. They will be technically known
as. vertical, inverted, direct, acting,

ments. The cylinders will be three in

It Makes Ones Mouth Water just to
Read About this Dish.
Ex-Governor Bum, of Idaho, is a
Philadelphian and is at present editor
of the Sunday Transcript of that city.
Besides being a wit OF the Clover
Club he is a gormet OF note and is
famous as an inventor of novel form
of reed bird pie. He has it made in
deep pan, lined bottom and sides with
light crust Into this he puts two
tender young chickens. two dozen fat
reed birds, two dozen frogs legs. one
dozen small CLANS and few pieces of
bacon chopped fine with potatoes and
small onions, all spiced with black
pepper and salt. OF course the chick
ems aud potatoes are phreboiled. The
potpie has just enough water in it to
cook and blend its ingredients. The
dish Is cooked slowly, just permitted
to simmer, in fact until it is done.
just before it is done it is taken out
of the oven and its top is covered with
light flexible crust Then it is re-
placed in the oven until the top crust
is a light brown. Serve with plenty
of champagne to wssh it down, reed
bird potpie OF this kind is dainty
enough for all the kings in christen-
dom.

No better exhibition Of the faith OF
Democracy was ever given than the
expression Of Grover Cleveland in a
speech at Philadelphia. In response
to the toast: "The principles Of true
Democracy-they are enduring be-
cause they are right, and invincible be-
cause they are just" the ex-President
said:
"These principles comprise equal and
exact justice to all men; peace, COM
merce, and honest friendship with all
nations-entangled alliance with none;
the support of the State governments
in all their rights; the preservation OF
the general government in its whole
constitutional vigor: jealous care of
the right of election by the people;
absolute acquiescence in the decision
of the majority: the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority;
economy in the public expenses; the
honest payments of our debts and
sacred preservation ofthe public faith;
the encouragement of agriculture, and
commerce as its handmade, and free
dom of religion. freedom of the press,
and freedom of the person."

TERRIFIC SNAKE LIE.

Desperate Battle in Which a Brave
Mother Saves Her OHsprIng's Life.
George Wharton, of Brown county,
Ohio, tells a blood-curdling snake
story. Mrs. William Huxelly, living
in log cabin. was making soap in
back yard, having kissed her little
six-months babe to sleep in the cradle.
Presently the baby screamed, and she
and she rushed in and was hor-
ror-stricken to find hideous black
snake of enormous size trying 10 swal-
low the child. 1t had ingulfed the
hand and had swallowed it up to the
arm-pit and was writhing in its con-
tortions and efforts to make further
progress. Grasping the hideous rep
tile in the middle 1t seemed to relax
its hold and disgorge the child's arm.
and then turned upon the mother.
She dashed it to the floor and in her
wild frenzy stamped 1t to death. 1t
proved to be of the black racer species
seven feet two inches long, and meas
uring six and one-half inches In cir
cumference. The babe lived and the
only inconvenience 1t suffered from ita
terrible experience was that its arm
and hand were blistered as II scalded
in hot water.

recovering his presence Of mind. he
eyed his gun, and began moving his
hand slowly toward it when the lion
raised its head and gave a tremen-
Ious roar. the same awful warning
being repeated whenever the man at
tempted to move his hand. The rock
at length became 80 heated that he
could scarcely bear his naked feet to

night also. but the lion never moved

its intense heat soon rendered his

rose and walked to the water, ouly a

he went lest the man should move,

to take his gun, it turned in a rage,
and was on the point Of springing
upon him. But another night had

the next day again the lion went to-
ward the water, but while there he
listened to some noise apparently
from an opposite quarter, and disap-

to rise he dropped. his ankles being

Abner Dungrass, from away up be-

first visit to the city-in fact. his first
trip away from home, says the New
York Ledger.
A relative. doing business in the

summer with Abner's parents, and in
return for many kindnesses, he had
invited his friends OF the country
farm to visit him in his city home. F.
And thus Abner chanced TO be in

Abner looked up and saw the delicate

away. 1t was tempting. and he
reached forth and took it. He had
put a spoonful of the frozen mixture
into his mouth, and was hesitating
between surprise and delight when
