entirely out of supplies and require
food. The question that con.ronts our
city now is how we shall relieve these
men. Their hunger should be appessed,
and we ought to take some steps to do
so. Our most level-hesded men should
seriously consider our duty at this hour.
But there is one thing our officers of the
peace should see to hereafter, and that
is that no aggregation OF men shall be
permitted to organize themselves into
compact body and form an encampment
in the city. Such an organization is

IN BRAZIL RECEIVED
ITS LAST BLOW.

The surrender of the insurgents at
Rio has been complete, sad it will
doubtless be followed by the chiefs OF
the rebellion in other parts of the re-
public, i, ia evident, from the dilatorv
and excursive manner in which this re-
bellion has been carried on that the
great bulk of the people were not anxious
for revolution. The navy was per-
hape in favor of it nearly as unit, for
ali the effective work that has been done
and that was not strikingly much-was
by the war vessels under the command
of De Mello and Da Cana. A few of the
southern provinces were disaffected, but
at no time have the insurgents been
able to bring formidable army in the
field, and at no time has any engage
ment taken place on land worthy Of the
name. The rebellion has been mainly
upheld and protracted by the two war
vessels Aquidaban and Republca, and
the fortress OF VillegsigDon in the harbor
OF Rio. That fortress etoutly held out
against all the efforts of Peixoto to seize
it, and was only surrendered when, as
we might say, 1.-THE last ditch" had been
reached. Yet the leaders of the revolt

This protracted rebellion has not been
kept up for so great length OF time

vessel when they were suddenly sprung
upon by number OF masked men with
clubs, and one OF them, an Italian,
felled to the ground by the leader of the
mob, and his skull crushed by blows.
The others we're more or less injured,
but made their escape. The perpetrat-

be detected if good police work is done.
If such crimes as these are to continue

THREW A BRICK.

George Green Amuses Himself by
smashing window.
George Green was arrested last night
by Patrolman Hinkle on = charge OF ma
licious mischief.
Green was slightly under the influence
of liquor.
He made his way into the Union chop
house, on Main between Second and
Third streets, and gave his order. Green
began thinking that he was being
slighted because his order was not dis
patched with lightning rspidity. He
went out into the street. and picking up
good sized brick, sent it whirling
through the window.
He evidently thought his first throw,
being so accurate, was creative of great
Amusement, and proceeded to aim two
more bricks at the same window, with
the result of his arrest.

THE Chronicle wants to know whether
the termination of the 'scrap" between
the lawyers in the Breckinridge case
without fight is survival Of the ex-
smption OF lawyers in dueling days from
appearing on the field of honor. Who
ever heard of such exemption? 1t never
existed in this state, and we venture to
assert that in eight out OF twelve due els
fought everywhere in this country in the
days of the code, at least one of the par
Elephants was member OF the bar. That
was the case in the most noted duels in
this state. Witness the Terry-Broderick

SOCIETY.

The Ladies' Hebrew Aid society gave
a social last might in the spacious hall OF
the Mclean & Lehman building on
South Main street, for the purpose OF
raising iunds for the relief OF the desti-
tute Jews of this city. The hop was
undoubtedly successful in a financial
way as we'll as socially. The hall was
thronged with majority of the younger
element of the Jewleb colony, consisting
of good-looking ladies and successful
business men. who thoroughly enjoyed

Messrs. Kaspare Conn and NJ. Levy.
Among those who were interested on
lockers of the informal soiree were the
Rev. Drs. Edelman and Blum. The
lady managers of the affair are well sat-
isfied that their efforts to come to the
aid of the poor have been crowned with
SUCCESS, and that the contributions OF
the more wealthy who were present last
night will materially benefit those who
are in reduced circumstances in these

1t has been surmised. with great ap-

The crop reports published in yester-
days HERALD are anything but dis
coursging. They show that no part of
this section has suffered SO seriously
from the paucity of rain that a few
showers will not bring US very satis-
factory harvest. At every point the
rain of last week and the succeeding
moderation of the weather have put the
orchard crop in q very gratifying condi-
tion. The deciduous trees are beginning
to blossom, and the mild atmosphere
has helped to bring to fine maturity the
oranges still on the trees. From all
points we learn that the lemon trees are
doing finely, and that an abundant crop
will be secured from the bearing trees,
especially in the higher lands. We have
over two months yet that may be in
cluded in the rain season, and we may ma
turelly presume that during that time
We shall have a number OF fructifying
showers that will insure us excellent
farming returns. The fact is, that
though the measure of rain we have had
this season has not been as great as
usual, yet it fell so opportunely for the
agriculturist that every drop has bene-
fited the soil. There is not the slightest
reason to believe that our farms and
orchards will not make good average
showing this year. In some parts OF
our county there has been a smaller
rainfall than we could wish, but as
we approach the mountains we find
that the precipitation has been almost
normal. In the mountain ranges there
has been quite an abundant fall of snow.
This will insure a sufficient storage to
supply our irrigation bitches during the
crucial summer months. The irrigators
need feel no apprehension whatever
about scarcity of the water supply.

in that city yesterday. 1t occurred in

it tore the man who is supposed to have
intended to throw it all to pieces. Some
of the few devotees in the church at the
time were more or less injured. There
ought to be some way of suppressing

the disbolical practice, but some way
will be found to put a stop to it. In
