Discomfort IN BRAZIL.
Further Alarming Intelligence Regard
ing the Situation.

LONDON, Nov. 10-7P p. MA dispatch
just received from Pernambuco brings
further alarming intelligence regarding
the situation of affairs in Brazil. There
is no doubt that the situation of affairs in
Brazil, arising out of the assumption of
dictatorial powers by the late President
Of the Republic, Marshal Deodora Fon-
esca, is rapidly approaching a point
where resort to arms will be necessary
to establish the position of the Dictator
The dispatches Of yesterday showed that
there was feeling OF discomfort prevail
ing everywhere throughout Brazil. The
Republicans see in this last move of Fon-
esca an attempt to override the authority
vested in him by the Constitution.
So strong has the opposition to Fonseca
grown that yesterday it was announced
that the important province of Rio
Grande do Sui had declared its independ-
ence.
a dispatch just received shows that
steps will have to be Immediately taken
to prevent, if possible, a disintegration of
the republic. The province Of Grando
Para has followed the example set by Rio
Grande do Sui, and to-day declared its
independence. Grando Para is one of the
most important provinces in Brazil. The
independence movement will probably
be followed by similar declaration by
the province Of Bahia.
Dictator Fonseca is moving rapidly 10
suppress these attempts to set up Separate
governments, and has ordered a warship
to proceed without delay to Rio do Sui, to
| take such action as is necessary to pre-
vent the provincial authorities carrying
the declaration of independence into eff
feet. 1t behOoves him to move with
alacrity, for already man has been
named in connection with the contem-
plated Presidency OF the province. He
is Silvence Martinez, who during the last
revolution was banished from the coun-
try. He subsequently was allowed to
return. Silvence Martinez is, without
doubt, possessed of greater political in
fiuence than any other man in the prov
ince.

Sister of Lord Cloncurdy Drowned.

DUBLIN, Nov. 10.-To-day, while some
keepers were walking along the shores of
Lake Mass, they saw something in the
water, and procuring graphing irons
they dragged body ashore, which, upon
investigation proved to be that of Rose
Lawless, the youngest sister of Lord
Cloncurdy. The family was Immediately
notified. 1t is matter of conjecture as
to how the unfortunate lady met her

A New Departure.

1t is our intention if we can get a suf-
ficient support, TO commence our next
volume, which will be on the 1st Of
March next, by printing all of the Mes
senger at home. but to do this, We must
have the advertising patronage Of our
Merchants, Lawyers, Doctors and other
business of the town, and to get these
advertisements we propose to make them
a new and liberal offer. which is as fol-
lows:
We will insert one inch advertise
ment. to be changed every season. for
the small sum Of 80 cents per months,
which amount will be payable on the
first Saturday of each month. A tro
inch advertisement will cost one dollar
month, and so on.
This is certainly good and liberal
offer, and there is not business house,
however small, which cannot afford to
put card in its local paper at such
small cost.
Our business people should advertise
freely if they want to keep up with our
neighbOrs, and this is an inducement for
them, now let us see if they will take
adyangtage Of it.

Ientine, entitled Louisiana Lore" Mr..
Venlentine is one Of the party Of Kansas
editors who visited this town few
weeks ago. The article is too long for
us to reproduce it, but we propose in
some future issue, to publish some ax-
tracts from it which will be interesting
to our people. In the same paper while
looking over its columns, our attention
was attracted to the large number OF
sheriff'S sales advertised, and We coun-
ted them by curiosity, and found thirty.
Thirty sheriff's sales advertised in one
paper is surely an indication of unsuc-
cessful business aud it is no wonder
that so many people from that state are
emigrating TO Louisiana. IL those peo-

Tho American Flag VictOri rus.

The only town in the Old world ever
captured by the United States is tho
town Of Derne, in Tripoli. on the north
coast of Africa. I he inhabitants were
chiefly Moors, Turks, and Arabs, of the
Mohammedan religion. The ports of
the Barbary States-AIgicrs, Morocco,
Tunis, and Tripoii-wele infested with
pirates, who dart,d out upon vessels
which sailed up and down the Mcditcr-
ranean Sea, and, after plunderilg them.
either murdered the crew or sold them
into slavery. These pirates became
the terror Of Europe, an! some mcrcaa-
tile countries had to pay Il yearly Il ib-
ute in order to secure safety for their
vessels
Eng and was the Only nation feared
by these pirates: and, 50 long as .tmrri
can vessels sailed nndcr the English
flag, thoy were reasonably secure: tut
wh"n the United States fcrame ii sepa-
rate nation, the pirates demanded trib-
ute.
For time the Government paid the
tribute a. the easiest wa to secure her
commerce, hut in sci the Deg of Tripo!i
