"That." was the reply, "is just what is lacking, and I expect to heartr.t tho provinces have rallied to the Km peror's support. Although he is banished, he is still tho Emperor, ami tho provinces ran declare for him. I think the provinces will declare war against tho capital, aud that the Mtuation will resemble that in France at about the time of the Paris Commune. There ate in tho navy 5.50U omeers and Bailors, not all of whom are in Kio de Janeiro, many being abroad. The army has abont tho same strength, and with 5.000 civilians upholding them, it would make ir.C0O men only, and I do not believe the movement has greater strength. Jt is true the dispatches say some of the provinces have declared for a republic, but this all cornea from Hio de Janeiro and those who have seized the central government. We have not pot the other side. Knowing the conntrv, I do not think the provinces have so declared. Tho Kepublican party thronghout the empire is organized into small clnb. and their members would, of

course, send in their felicitations to I In i general government. There are .also small garrisons of hft3' or more men in tho various provinces, and these have sent in their congratulations. This, I think, is the foundation for the statement in regard to the provinces. 1 cannot believe in tho permanence of the republic until we get more information aud something from the other aide."Of the new Cabinet, three members are journalists; the President, Deodoro Da Vonseea, and the Minister of War, Benjamin Constant, are soldiers, and the remaining three members are lawyers, fcenbor .Tuintano Kocayuva is looked upon here as,' perhaps, tho leader in the revolutionary faovement. He is editor of La Pais, punished in Rio de Janeiro, and is said to have a pleasing style as a writer. He is a Kepublican of long standing, and ha earnestly labored for the creation of a republic. Benjamin Constant, the Minssterof War, has heretofore been a professor in the Polytechnic School and a member of the Board of Military Engineering. ENGLISH LAISOIl TROUBLES. Boss Bakers Raise the Trice of BreadThe Strike Mania and Socialism. London. Nov. 17. The prediction made a week ago that tho bakers, under the potent leadership of John Burns, would obtain the concessions which they demanded from their employers, has been fulfilled, nnd thousands of journeymen bakers are congratulating themselves upon a market improvement in their condition. The boss bakers are trying to shift the cost of the concessions upon the general public by raising the price of bread a half penny per loaf. The consumers rigorously object to paying more than the accustomed price, and it is claimed by largo buyers who have looked into the matter that a half penny actually covers the entire rost of making a loaf of bread, and is. therefore, more than would snffice to recoup the boss baker for the additional expense to which he is subjected by reason of tho increased wages of the employes. It is probable that the opposition of the public and the natural etiect of competition will soon bring about a reduction in the price of tho "stall of life" to the old figures. The strike mama continues to spread, and one of its most conspicuous manifestations is the stoppage of several omnibus lines by reason of a conflict with the employes. Private owners of cabs and other vehicles are meanwhile reaping a harvest by carrying the former patrons of the suspended lines. Tho fares charged by these temporary transporters are higher than the regnlar rates, and there is, f course, much grumbling over the irregrlar and costly service rendered. The numerous strikes occurringin various lines of occupation have, indeed, caused an enormous deal of trouble and expense to the London public, but tho inconvenience and loss is borne, on the whole, with patience and good nature. Everybody beems glad that the employes of the corItorations which eujoy monopolies of fabuous value conferred upon them by the public are succeeding in forcing from these monopolists something like living wages. The extent to which the relations between monopoly aud labor are being studied in England can hardly bo realized by Americans, who seem to have adopted the let alone" theory as tho final word in science. Here nearly every body recognizes that to let things aloue means social suicide. Something must be done, and though students of the question still ditier widely as t the remedy, there is no dcubt that a convergence of opinion is observable in the direction'of socialism in some form or other. The announcement by Prof. Alfred Unssell Wallace, the eminent scientist, that he has been "almost persuaded" to socialism by reading Bellamy's "Looking Backward'' is hailed by the philosophic Socialists as one of the most satisfactory signs of the times, and there are many others hardly less signilicant. CiENEItAL FOKEIGN NE1VS. An African Colonization Scheme and What It Is Hoped to Do for England. London, Nov. 17. English newspapers find in the recent grant of a royal charter to the New South African Company a subject for earnest congratulation. The Germans being now at a discount in Africa, the English promoters and well-wishers of the new enterprise see no reason why there may not bo in Africa the establishment of a great English empire, like that founded in India by the famous protype of tho new company. If the enterprise succeeds the great sub-tropical region which lies between th) Transvaal aud the great lakes will not be Dutch; nor German, nor Portuguese, but English. British capital and British colonization will have another great area of extension, and one more largo native population will come beneath British rule. It will be a new East India Company, exploiting a territory not inferior in resources to old India. Prefer to Treat Directly with the Top. London, Nov. 17.

Fort Wayne Batchers righting the Introduc tion of Chicago Dressed Beef. Fpdal to the Indianapolis Journal Four Waynk, Nov. 17. A" furious fight is being made by the local butchers against tho proposed establishment of a branch house in this city of Swift fc Co., represent ing the dressed-becf combine. The City Council refused, a few weeks ago, to pnss an ordinance seeking the appointment of a meat inspector, and this afternoon a meeting of the Butchers' Uuion was beld at tho Morton club-room, at which President Charles James and Chris Brokate, of St. .Louis, secretary of the National Butchers7 Lnion. man j speeches censnnng tue t-ni-cago "Big Four."

Public opinion is about evenly divided, and the fight will be an interesting one, insuring cheap meat for a time at least. The Crawfordsville Gambling Cases. E?cUl to the Tmlianaiwlls Journal. Crawfordsville. Nov. 1C The onehundred and thirty-five indictments returned by the grand jury against gamblers has caused them to unite to attempt to prove that the indictments were not legally returned to the judge. They based their claims upon four charges: That Judge Synder received the indictments m tho grand jury room and not in "open court;", that the door of the room was locked so as to keep out persons who had o right to bo nreseut when they were returned; that the short-hand reporter was in the grand jury room when the indictments were found; and tbat as Judge Kabb was holding court at the same time that Judge Synder received the indictments, therefore it was Kabb who should have received them instead of Svnder. These exceptions were argued before Judge Kabb, who ruled against the gamblers on all four point 8. Several of the indicted gamblers will stand trial, while numerous others are making arrangements to pay their tines. Charge that Health Officers Were Subsidized. Bpeclal to the InrilauapuUa Journal. Crawfordsville. Nov. 17. The pump question is fast becoming the leading subject of discussion. The Board of Health recently reported to the City Council that the water in the public wells was impure and unfit for use, and the Council had the pump-handles removed. Petitions are being circulated to have the Council replace the handles on the pumps. The impression prevails that the water-works company was favored by this order, because its water was pronounced pure. A member of tho Board of Ilealth was told by a prominent merchant that the water-works company had paid each member $500 to pronounce the waterin the public wells impure. The oflicer said that if this was true ho would call around for his share. A big timo over this matter is expected to-morrow evening at the meeting of tho Council. True to Her Would-lle Murderer.

Queer Remedy for Drunkenness. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. If you have ever been out with a friend who has been drinking too much and you, sober and unwilling to leave him until you get him home, are trying to persuade him to start for bis house, then you will appreciate the situation in which 1 found myself not long ago. I could do nothing with my comf anion, and he was rapidly getting helplessy intoxicated. The drunker he got the more obstinate he became. Finally 1 took him into an all-night restaurant, hoping tnat a cup ot not ooaee would partly sober him. By the time the coffee camemv friend was sound asleep with his head on the table. I was in despair when the waiter asked me if 1 wanted to get the man sober. "Why, certainly I do." 1 said. He took a bottlo of sweet oil from a tablo aud poured a gill of it into one of the cups of coffee. "Make him drink that." said he. and walked off. 1 roused my friend and induced him to drink the whole cup of coffee without stopping. The etiect was magical. I never saw any medicine act so quickly. In ten minutes he spoke clearly, braced up, irot ashamed of himself and started home. 1 had never heard before of sweet oil as a soberer. The Imaginative Washlifgton Correspondent.

GENERAL GRANT'S RELIGION.

A Most Interesting Statement from Ills Slater, Mr. Cramer. Mary Grant Cramer, in New Yoi k ton. I regretted very much to seo ray name in your paper of yesterday in connection with the aite r-meetuig. last Sabbath evening, in the Hauson-place Methodist Church in Urooklyn. 1 regret this the more because what 1 said on that occasion was incorrectly reported. 1 thought the reporters had gone with a part of the congregation, after the close of the regular services. 1 was one among many who gave a brief testimony; the pastor, whom 1 had only met once before, recognized me and mentioned that 1 was the sister of General Grant; remembering that ruan3' persous' had expressed a desire to know about his spiritual state near tho close of his life, the thought occurred to me that some words of mine in reference to that subject would be of interest to thoso who remained at the after-meeting, and I told what I never had in public belore; but Fart of what is attributed to me in tho Sun did not say. 1 did speak of my conversion in island of feeling impressed that it was my duty to pray that my brother should experience the same happy change, which I then believed would uqt come to pass for a long time. ' The Geueral was reticent on the subject of religion, and 1 did not feel free to converse much upon It witn mm; osiuea, there was little opportunity of doing so alone, and 1 did not deem it advisable to do bo in the presence of others. While be was in official life our homes were too far apart for us to meet often mine being on the other side of the sea for some years.) During the few visits I made at the White House while he resided there, his busy life through the day aud numerous calls upon him in the evening did not . admit of my having as many opportunities of conversing with him us might be supposed; etilL. 1 had laith for his salvation, but this conviction was not based on anything he said to me. At his second inauguration (he had invited me to be present on that occasion) he called my attention to an item in the evening paper. It was handed to me, and I read aloud tho second . and third verses of the eleventh chapter of Isaiah; these being tho verses the reporter said he had kissed while taking the oath of office. I remarked to the General that 1 thought thej' wero significant. He replied: "1 thought so, too." Neither of us reierred to the first verse, which contains our father's name (Jesse Hoot). It is true that I was abroad during my brother's second term in the White House, but it is not true, a reported, that wo kept un a regular correspouccnce. largely upon religious subjects." During his fatal illness, while wo were in Switzerland, ! read, with deep interest, the cablegrams in our London daily papers. One of the6 was thus worded; "General .Graut is sinking, and it is a wonder to everybody that he lives." This did not produce in me a tit of deep despondency ." lor 1 had faith to believe that he would rally, especially after a remarkable experience 1 had iu a park near our home in Berne. This was soon after reading that sad telegram. I was not at all surprised to hear of Geueral Grant walking out the latter part of April. I felt very grateful for the prayerful interest manifested in him by tho people, and believe that it was in answer to united prayer that his life was prolonged and he enabled to write his book. I alluded to an extract from Dr. Newman's journal that my daughter heard him read in New York, and that confirmed the conviction that 1 had April 16. 1865, in reference to my brother. Since my return to America I have not had the conversation with Dr. Newman referred to in the Sun. I regret the necessity of making tho foregoing explanation, for I did not wish my little talk last Sunday night to be noticed in tho papers. Had 1 suspected it I would have kept silent. vMMpaBBBwaaafeaaBaBaBaaafaSBBBWBBBaBBBBaBBBBBBBaaaaaaaaa HOW THE BURMESE WORK OIL-MILLS. Their Primitive and Dangeroas Method of Securing Petroleum. London Times. Dr. Noetling, of the Indian Geological Survey, to whose report on the petroleum deposits of liurmah reference has already been made, gives an iuterestingdescriptiou of tho native method of digging the wells. As soon as a native has made up his mind where he was going to have a new well, the workmen, usually four in number, begin to dig a square shaft, the sides of which measure between four feet and four feet six inches. Over this pit a cross-boam, supported on stanchions at cither side, is placed, in the center of which is a small wooded drum or cylinder, which, witn its axis, is made of a single piece of wood, the latter running on coarse fork-shaped supports. The leather rope used in hauling up the oil passes over tho drum, and on it is fastened the workman who is going to bo lowered down, as well as the common earthenware not in which the oil is drawn up. If possible, the well is so placed that the men or women drawing the ropa walk down an inclined plane along the slope of a hill. The tools employed in digging are quite primitive and cau only bo used iu soft strata. Timber is used to support the walls of the shaft, and the latter is lined with wood. This wooden wall has considerable strength, but it has to - be carefully watched lest it should give way. The workmen are lowered in an ingenious way. The man sits on two slings formed of strong rope running between his legs and knotted over his left shoulder. To prevent sliding, a thin rope ruus down from the knot, across the breast, underneath the right shoulder to the back, where it is fastened to the rope forming the slings. A second rope for the same purpose is fastened around the hips. On account of tho explosive gas tilling the bhaft no light can be taken down; the workman, therefore, ties up his eyes previously to descending so as to enable him to seo during the short time he is in the well, otherwise it would take him longer to accustom his eyes to the darkness than he is able to stay down on account of the gas; which renders breathing difficult. Tho data obtained by Dr. Noet ling as to the tune occupied in the ascent and descent, and the period during which the laborer can remain below, show that not 25 per cent, of the total working timo is really spent in extracting the oil. Two hundred and ninety seconds is the longest time any man, however strong, car remain below without becoming unconscious, while m some he can only remain sixty seconds. With increasing depths the difficulties in obtaining the oil after! he Burmese methods become insuperable. Hence the limit is 310 feet, and the workers object to more than 2fi0 feet. The drawing up of tho oil is as primitive as everything else. The rope is fastenert round the neck of the ball-shaped Eot, and. beiug lowered, is allowed to till y sinking in the oil below. The oil thus raised is poured into another pot of the samo shape, but much larger, and twelve of these are packed on each country cart. WHERE NICKEL COMES FROM. Fonr Thousand Tons Fer Year the Product of ft Single Mine. Youth's Companion. In the Copper ClilF mine, near Sndbnry, Canada, it is said, more nickel is being produced than the entire market of the world calls for at current prices. A little branch railway off the main line of the Canadian Prtcilic railway, four miles in length. leads to the mine, which opens into the face of a crag of the brown, .oxidized Laurentiau rock, characteristic of this region. The miners are now at work at a depth of about three hundred feet below the surface. As fast as the nickel and copper-bearing rock is hoisted out it is broken up aud piled upon long beds or ricks of pine wood, to be calcined, or roasted, for the purpose of driving out the sulphur which it contains. The roasting process is of . the nature of limo kilning or charcoal burning. Each great bed of oar requires from one to two mouths to roast. When roasted the rock goes to the principal smelter, a powerful blast furnace, ;jacketed" in mining phrase with running water, to enable it to sustain the great heat requisite to reduce the crude, obdurate mineral to fluidity. The dross of the molten mass is first allowed to How ott". and afterward the ncirlv pure nickel and copper, blended together in an alloy called the "mat." or matte.

Harrlsona Kale in Making Appointments. Washington Despatch to Boston Journal (Rep.) A centleman who holds close relation to the administration says theso questions aro always considered in connection with ap pointments to onicc: Is the applicant a clean and honest mauT Aro his Associations such that his appoint- . a mi ii a s; ft r meni win rcueci crcuix on mo administra tion? Is he best known among the bummers or among tne business men? Is he identified with an honorable pursuit or with a rum shopf Is no connected witn the lobby and likely to use his position to promote jobbery? Has lie ever been en paired iu an v enter prises, tho exposure of which would bring disgrace upon the administration? Has he outstanding any obligation which it would embarrass the administration to have brought to the light? Is he a man of diguity or a mere political hnstlerf These are questions that are asked as to every candidate for omce. In ways tbat the applicants do not always know, the administration never fails to get these questions answered, and it may be set do wn, as certain that if the questions, of which these are types, can not be aatisfactorily, answered it will be inst as well for the candidate, whatever his State and whatever his support may be, to withdraw his papers. President Harrieon has not intentionally appointed any inau to office who would be regarded at objectionable among the best class of citizens where he resides, and, unless he shall bo deceived, he never will. He has been deceived iu some iustances, aud this fact of itself has made him exceedingly cautious. He will probably not be deceived by the same persons again. The fact that he has been deceived has caused him to closely scrutinize every application which comes before him. It is the desire of the President that the appointees in all of the departments shall be clean" men. A Little Art Gush. New York Letter. The recent adventures of the Angelu bave clothed it with an individuality almost human. It is treated like a pet, I miuht better say a queen, or more accurately as both, for there is a mingling of awe and ati'ectiou with which the otlicers and custodians peak of the art idol that is charming. The paintiug assumed the prerogative.of its dedication by keeping everybody waiting, though njoraptness is a royal virtue. The galleries wero open at 11, but it was IS before the critics conld penetrate into the inner sanctuary and view thn goddess in her shrine, lint when the veil was drawn all were sent to their knees. It is indeed a wonderful canvas, and one that appeals to the deepest emotions. At tirst its small size the dimensions are twentyone and a half by twenty-live nnd a half inches causes disappointment, as in tha case of its celebrated rival in fame, the "Sheepfold by Moonlight," in the Walters collection, which Is eighteen by twentyfour inches, but in a few minutes this feeling vanishes before th magic of the canvas: A reverent hush falls on the curious group, arid those who turn away tread softly as if leaving loving souls in bumble prayer after toil. A Surfeit of Cleveland. Rochester rost-ExpreM (IrL Dem.1 The prospect is discouraging. Madam,' said an unfortunate boarder to the lady of the house, "I can eat pork forty or fifty times iu succession, but when it comes to baviug it for a steady diet it makes me tired.' The Democrats of tbecountry have had a steady diet of Mr. Cleveland foreight years, and the thought of another four yran with an indefinite renewal gives then a qualm in the stomach. Art is long aud time is tleeting. The" days of the modern Democrat are few and full of troublo, and ho is willing to spend eight or ten years of his allotted pericd of earthly pilgrimage m the. business of electing or trying to elect Mr. Cleveland to office; but when it comes to devoting the whole of his three score years and ten. or peradventnra four score years, to that task, he feels like wishing for a removal to that happy country where even Mr. Cleveland would not think of gettiug i'p a boom or running for the presidency, but rest content to sdju&t his lialo sweetly, repose his angelic adiposity among tho asphodels, and thrum his golden h:irp in the iuuocuous desuetude of all ambition. m Am Old Question Answered.
