Accept, dear wife. this little token.

The love I'll always love TO speak

The sentiment I'll fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your valentine?

vapors of nitrogen peroxide, heat being

product is a maroon colored compound,
the composition Of which is represented
by the formula Cu2NO2. This is nitro

The middle classes, remembering the
peace and stability and steady prog
ress that the country enjoyed from
the close Of the Paraguayan war In
1859 until the fall Of Dom Pedro, are
disposed more and more to consider
the advantages Of restoration. The
negroes, constituting half Of the pop

their emancipation. The entire in

royalty, and, although not much Is
said ABOUT the existence of an active
clerical party in Brazil, everybody
informed about the affairs of the
country knows that any political
cause favored by the Catholic Church
in that country has a tremendous adj

are familiar with Brazilian affairs
that there is scarcely a republican
priest within the vast extent Of the
