relations of the cabinet with the king

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Mendonca, the
Brazilian minister, says his government
is only playing waiting game. There,
are, he says, two courses open, viz, to
surround the insurgents and make an
aggressive movement against them, or
cut of their sources of supplies and re-
Inducements and thereby starve them
into surrender. The first plan would
involve the partial destruction of the
ships and other government property in
the possession of the rebels; the
second would give an opportunity
for the continued Eombardment OF
the city. Official advicea received
by the minister contain the information
that both of the columns reported
marching north to zeinforce Mello have
been repulsed by government forces, as
announced by the press dispatches, and
are refreshing back to the south post

blows to Mello's hopes of securing fresh
men, consequently to his campaign.

In discussing the advantage of the

Monday, he said his stock was in better
condition now than it was in August,
owing to the mild weather and good graz
ing. He said that two of his neighoors.
Fred Wood and Will Schoenman make it
practice never to dispose of one crop of
corn until another is picked, and he says
farther that this is safe thing to do, a
provision that would have been worth
thousands of dollars to the farmers Of
Lincoln county this year. The present
scarcity of hay has demonstrated that
straw and corn stalks makes good feed,
and as Sander Brynjulson said the other
day: ''I'll burn no more straw. l can
use straw and sell hay" It is safe to say
that we will see no more stray piles burn
ed. Mr.. Lamb has always used his straw
in the yards pilng it two feet thick for
the cattle to lay on, keeping them out of
the mud and water. The present short
age of hay has learned our farmers many
valuable lessons. Mr.. Lamb also said
that wheat was good for young pigs, but
it took corn to fatten hogs for market.

We'll, suppose you report that

New York which never reached its
destination. The first thing is to find
out Just what time you mailed the
matter, and from that the inspectors
can tell what train ii was sent out

of the one who handled it, and it is
the same with each messenger on
the trains.

five or six dots appear opposite one
