THE Brazilian Republic is in a
desperate strait. Dsaffection seems
to be growing and desertions to the
insurgents are becoming more fire.
queut. 1t is to be deplored that this
backward step in civilized govern
ment should be made on this cont.
nent where liberty had its birth.
There is one thing certain the life of
a republic depends upon the intolli.
gence of its citizens. What Brazil
and other South American countries
need is education, not only in The
sciences aud arts, but to think and
act for themselves. Monarchism
tends to destroy this while Republi
canism fosters the spirit of liberty
though it is itself begotten Of it.

should be an ad volorem one of 25

THE FIREMEN'S BALL.

The old Opera House presented an
attractive spectacle on Friday even
ing last, the occasion OF the first
annual ball of the Caledonia Fire
mems Relief Association. The tasty
order of dances which was issued
for this event, from the CALEDoNIAN
Office, gave promise OF fine affair,
and this promise was thoroughly
met during the entire evening. The
hall was elaborately decorated, a
great deal Of pains being taken to
cover the bare walls and secure an
effect that would be pleasing to the
spectators eye.
There was a large attendance of
dancers, and a goodly number of So
called "lookers-on in Venice" One
hundred and forty couples committed
themselves to the care of Floor Man
ager Bartlett and his numerous
assistants, and were given ample OPP
portunity to tread the mazes of the
dance and enjoy themselves to a
large extent.
Many of our people who do not in
dulge i'll the light fantastic pleasure
were present to attest their interest
in the newly-tormed association of
fremen and the laudable object it
has in view
The Summerville Orchestra, under
Mr.. Herrick's direction, furnished
music for the dancers, and good
music toe. Not only that, but from
8 to 9 O'Clock the orchestra enter

NIHETY-FOUR'S RECEPTION.

The Middle Interview held in the
Academy Hall last Friday evening
was surely one of the most enjoyable
events that has occurred during the
entire school year
Although the programme did not
begin until s p. m, gay lads and
lassies, of all ages and classes came
flocking as early as 7.30, and by the
time the entertainment began, were
pretty thoroughly mingled.
The first march was genuine
chance march and was a decided
contrast to the so-called chance
marches" of former years. The pres
ident's address, though short, was
full of vim and made you feel that the
welcome which he expressed was adj
dressed to you directly,
During the evening the Academy
Glee Club" sang the following selec
tions: Star of Descending Night,
"Dashing on Before the Gale, '"List
the Trumpet's Thrilling Sound" and
Dash Away Boat" in a very
pleasing manner. The solos by F
II. Brooks were very nicely rendered
and were heartily appreciated by
everybody. Those who read on the
programme the words Looking
Backward" and were looking for {
dramatization of Bellamy's famous
book were rdiculously disappointed
when they saw before them eigh
curiously attired figures performing
simple broom drill. To be sur
the facial expression of the perform
ers was a trihe set, but showed
sobriety aud determination almos
unparalleled.
The music for the marches wa
furnished by Carl Smith (yiolin), Z
NJ. Miller (coruet) and Miss Kath
arine Bingham (piano), and wa
very good. The whole programm
was very nicely carried out and re
fleets great credit upon the com
mite OF arrangements.
