Consul Manton, who for eighteen years has been Consul at Collonia, Uruguay, in an interview at Washington said that the recent emancipation of slaves by Brazil was simply a sop to the large number of the southern provinces of the empire.

Cox, who defrauded the Central Bank of Toronto last fail of $150,000, and who has since been at Niagara Falls, N. Y., and Buffalo, has been arrested at Niagara, Ont., by the Canadian authorities. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade reports a better feeling in every direction. It says: Crop prospects improve, manufacturers are gaining c< iiMence, and dealers, no longer operat ng on a fal ing market, keenly appreciate the aifferenec. The present state of business is clearly encouraging, larger hi volume than a year ago, and growing more confident in tone. Extens.ve reports within the last week strengthen belief that the corn crop will be large, the oat crop large, the yield of wheat not below recent estimates, and the yield of cotton better than the trade has expected. The iron trade does not brighten as was exported, though prices are a little stronger in Pittsburg. The coal trade is phenomenally active, and an advance in price has been agreed upon For the first time in eight years leather dealers are no longer selling on a declining market. In the wool trade a better feel.ng is seen, and in some grades better prices. Money is firmer at many points, with an increasing demand, but scarcely anywhere is | there complaint of closeness, and collections <io not seem to be mote backward than is usual nt .his season. In the dry goods trade improve- i ment is especially noted in Chicago, and here a lull average business in ci t ons is in progress, I wi.h a s unewhut more satisfactory movement 1 in woolens, especially in men’s wear goods of spring weights, and in carpets. Failures last weak numbered 211, as compared with a total of 219 the previous week. The Signal-Service weather-crop bulletin. issued the 27th, savs:

“lh eweather for the last week has been especially favorable for harvesting and farm work in the Northwest. The wheat harvest progressed rapidly in the central and northern portions of Dakota and Minnesota, from which region the reports indicate that the damage to the wheat crop from the frosts of last week was largely overestimated. In the northern p; rdons of the corn belt the weather was favorable, but the growth of the plant was retarded by the low temperature. Very light frosts occurred in Michigan and Northern Illinois on the 22d, probab y causing no injury to the crops. High winds damaged corn in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey, but the attending rains will doubtless improve the crop.” The President has vetoed the Senate bill for the erection of a public building at Sioux City, lowa. In an address at St. Thomas, Ontario, the Hou. Mr. Laurier, leader of the Liberal party in Canada, said that the unfriendly course of the Dominion Government during the past twenty-five years had irritated Americans, and that it was high time that the policy should be reversed. He favored the most unrestricted reciprocity of trade with the United States, and asserted that Canadians should no longer look with jealousy upon Americans, but should regard them as friends and brothers.

CONGRESSIONAL. Work of the Senate and House of Representatives. Mr. Chandler concluded his speech in the Senate on the Louisiana election frauds, the 23d. The resolution pertaining thereto was laid aside without action. A resolution was adopted by the Senate accepting and returning thanks for a bust of Garibaldi presented to the United States by the Italian citizens of this country. The Senate took up the resolution reported from the Judiciary Committee July 23 regarding the suppression of colored votes at the Jackson iMiss.) municipal election, and was addressed by Wilson (Iowa). Before Mr. Wilson had concluded the Senate adjourned. In the House Mr Richardson (Tenn.) presented the majority report of the special committee that has been investigat ng the Government printing othce. It is a comprehensive defense of Mr. Benedict’s management and a comparison between that and Mr. Rounds’ management, with conclusions tending to show that there has been more economy and honesty' of service and a much better condition of affairs generally since Mi. Benedict assumed charge. It acquits Mr. Benedict of every charge made against him. A minority report will be presented soon. The House rejected the conference report on the army appropriation bill by a vote of 38 to 61, and further insisted on its disagreement to the Senate amendments. A further conference was ordered. The House passed the Senate bill authorizing the Leavenworth Rapid Transit Company to construct a road across the Fort Leavenworth (Kun.) military reservation; also the Senat i bill delaying that certain water-reserve lands in Wisconsin are subject to the provisions or the act granting to railroad companies the right of way through the public lands of the United Siates. The House went into committee of the whole on the deficiency bill. No progress was made, however, us the point of no quorum was raised on an appeal from a decision of the Speaker sustaining the point of order against the French spoliation claims section. The House so~u after adjourned. The President’s message on the subject of the fishery treaty was read in the Senate on the 24th. Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, immediately' took the floor and in a lengthy speech accused the President of making a political move. He said that, though there was a statute providing for self-defense against Canadian injustice, the country was now informed that no step of any kind had been taken to carry into execution the plain provisions of that law. If, in the President's opinion, there had been instances of the denial of just rights to American citizens engaged in (he business described in the act of 1887, why was it that the President had not taken any step in the exercise of the powers which the law imposed upon him and the exorcise of the high duty* which the Constitution imposes on him of taking care that the laws were faithfully executed? Senators Hoar, Hale, and Sherman also attacked the President’s message and the whole course of the administration in th > mutter of the fisheries troubles. Senator Morgan defended the message. Republican opposition to this whole fishery affair, said he, hod not been to get tho people or the Government into better shape, but to entrap the Executive and put him where he would do the bidding of the minority of the people represented by the majority of the Senate. He wits gratified to know- that the President did not feel alarmed at this at all. Mr. Morgan favored putting it In the power of the President to retaliate, and thereby convince Great Britain and Canada that the United States had armed its local authorities w ith power enough to rectify whatever wrong they might do, and that the United States meant to execute its purpose unless they came to s me wise and just and honorable agreement with it. If any Senator had proposed to do something else, let him avow it. If any Senator thought it was the duty of the President immediately to proceed to retaliate on Canadian commerce for injuries and wrongs that had been done to the United States previous titbat time, let him avow it. Fifteen thousand copies of the President s fisheries treaty message have been ordered printed by the Hquse. The House Peu-n t:< Committee reported Mrs. Sheridans --.n bill with an amendment similar to ti> , ported to the Senate, reducing the am t - »i. The House voted to nou-concur in ■_ -- t • amendments, to the bill for ths • of hinds in severalty to the uniter! Minn. Indians in the Indian Territory. The House went into committee of the whole on the deficiencv bill, but nothing was done, as no quorum wus present. On motion of Mr. Blount, of Georgia Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, was elected as Speaker pro tern, of the House, the 25th, to act during the temporary absence of the Speaker. Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, from the Committee on the Judiciary, report'd a resolution (as a substitute for one offered by Dubois of Idaho) calling on the Attorney General for information as to the number of convictions that have been made for the ottenses of polygamy, adultery and unlawful cohabitation in Utah and Idaho, and as to the number of pardons granted to persons so convicted. Mr. Caine, of Utah, commented in eulogistic terms upon the industry, intelligence and ability of the Mormons in Utah, and declared that polygamy was a dead issue. Tho Mormon Church no longer gave permission for plural marriage. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Payson, of Illinois, who had objected to the several leaves of absence, offered a resolution revoking all leaves of absence except those granted on account of illness, this revocation to take effect the 27th. The resolution also provides that after the 27th and until further notice no pairs shall be filed or recognized. The absentees of both parties were severely arraigned for a dereliction of duty. The resolution was adopted. After consuming several hours in u vain effort to get a quorum, the House adjourned.

The Jackson (Miss.) election report was again taken up by the Senate, the 27th, and Mr. Wilson (lowa concluded his remarks, followed by Mr. Wa thall. after which the report went over. Mr. hdnnuiils proposed the following amendment to Mr. Hoar's resolution calling on the Presi lent to < o.iimuniente t • Congress all remoustrun es, if i ny, wh ch he has addressed to Canada in rega dto discriminations against Ame icuu vessels passing though Canadian ca als: "Ai d also that there be communic'Ue Ito the Senate copies of all paper i, correspondence and information touching the matter ot the refusal of the British Government, or that of any of her Noi’.h American dominions, to allow entrance at Dominion seaports of American fish or other cargoes nr transportation in bond to the United States since July 1. 1885. And also that he communicate to th ■ Senate what instances have occurred since March 3, 1887, of wro: gs to American fishing vessels, or other American vessels, in the ports or waters of British North America, and what steps, if any, have been taken in respect thereto.” After a long discussion the Senate adopted Mr. Stewart’s resolution calling for copies of reports, affidavits and communications on which the Commissioner of the General Laird Office base ! his letter to Mr. Bumes on the subject of timber depredations, with an amencment adding the words ■‘except such as ought to be withheld for purposes of justice.” Th? Senate agreed to a new conference on the army appropriation bill, and Messrs. Allison, Plumb, and Gorman were appointed conferrees. The House parsed the deficiency appropriation bill, v h the French spoliation claims section omitted, the decision of the chairman of the committee of the whole in ruling it out having been previously sustained. The conference report on the sundry civil bill was taken up by the Senate, the 28th, and Mr. Allison made a general defense of the Senate Appropriations Committee, criticising the administration in regard to public buildings and extravagance. Senator Beck replied in defense. Pending a disposition of the report the Senate adjourned. The Senate agreed to the resolution offered by Mr. Hear last week, with the amendment offered by Mr. Edmunds, culling on the President for copies of all remonstrances made by his direction against unfair treatment by the British Government of American citizens, etc. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs referred the Presi ent’s message on the fisheries and the Wilson bill to a sub-conimittea consisting of Messrs.

Cure for Rheumatism. G. G. Trent, of West Ginnville, Mass., writes of Allcock’s Porous Plasters: I For rheumatism, neuralgia, pain in the side or back, coughs, colds, bruises, and any local weakness, they truly possess ' wonderful curative qualities, I have recommended them to my neighbors with the happiest results, many of whom but for Allcock’s Plasters would be in a crippled condition at home. In every instance where they have been faithfully and properly applied the result has been wonderfully satisfactory. Uneasy Lies the Head. A thoroughly well-authenticated anecdote, illustrating his great tact, was told of Disraeli soon after lie was created Earl of Beaconsfield. It appears that not long after his transplantation to the House of Lords, Disraeli met a brother peer in the street, who asked him how he liked the change. “Like it!” exclaimed Disraeli, forgetting himself for the moment, and blundering out with the truth; “like it! I feel as if I were dead and buried alive. ’ Then, seeing the expression of discomfiture on the peer’s face, he added, hastily, with a courtly and irre sistible smile, “And in the land of the blessed!” “ The World Moves,” Maintained Galileo, when his tormentors racked him for advocating the true system of Copernicus. Certain follies hold out, how’ever, against the illumination of discovery and experience. There are hosts of people who, because they have adopted certain principles, continue to swallow them to their dying day in defiance of the laws of common sense. Mercury, drastic purgatives, super-potent narcotics and sedatives, though they have given ground before the irresistible progress of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a national, painless remedy for disorders of the liver, the stomach and the bowels, still continue to make ambulating apothecaries shops of many stomachs. The symptoms of liver trouble are easily remediable without any abdominal disturbance with this beneficent alterative. So, also, are constipation, sick headache, heartburn and an inability to digest satisfactorily. It cures lever and ague, rheumatism and kidney trouble. “A Chip of the Old Block.” Brown—l don’t know what to do with that boy of mine. Gray—What’s the matter with him? B.—The matter with him?

Genteel Quacks. “Yes, it pays,” said a big, fat physician, with a name wh: fi is known throughout the medical world, “i have a practice worth <40,100 a year. ” “Women?” “Yes; you’ve guessed it first time. They pay $lO every time they come into my othce.

' Go Heal Thyself Tn the waters of West Baden and French Lick Springs, located in Orange County, Ind., eighty miles northwest from Louisville, on the 0., W. B. & F. L, S. branch of the Monon Route (Louisville, New Albani and Chicago Railway Company). No springs on this continent, as yet analyzed, afford more than a fourth part of the quality of sulphurated hydrogen, and very low in any part, of the world even approach, them in this particular. All these waters have about the same general medicinal effect. They are alterative and tonic when moderately used; in larger quantities, are powerful eliminators, acting upon the bowels, kidneys and skin, without, however, producing the irritating effect which this class of agents usually induces when prepared by means of pharmacy, less perfect than nature. They are especially adapted to the treatment of diseases of the skin, dyspepsia, constipation, chronic inflammation of the various mucous sorfaces, seiofula, rheumatism, all specific diseases; and, In fine, may be very beneficially used i n all chronic affections where a tonic and alterative effect is designed. To the invalid the manv cures effected by the proper use of these waters for the last thirty years give the strongest assurance of relief. To those who are not yet confirmed invalids the old maxim that “an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure" conveys its own suggestion. To those residents of cities harassed with care and oppressed witli the heat, dust and impure air, who seek complete quietness ami repose, French Lick and West Baden offer all that natural scenery, pure air and home-like comforts can contribute. The French Lick Springs issue in a beautiful valley surrounded by an undulated, picturesque region. The water of the springs Hows from rock-lined apertures and is inclosed by stone casements. Its temperature is uniformly 55 deg. summer and winter. AH buildings and grounds lighted witli incandescent electric light. New bath houses have been erected with improved medical facilities in connection with steam. The grounds are beautifully laid out and decorated in landscape. A band of music is in regular attendance. ’The West Baden Springs property contains nearly seven hundred acres in delightfully varied landscape of prairie and forest, extending restful recreation to the wearied invalid or tourist. The hotel, bath houses and grounds are lighted by electricity. tanks and baths tempered by steam, etc. The springs are located in a charming valley, the medicated water bubbling up into ciret^ar basins of native whetstone rock, thus retaining all its natural gas and efficacy. Good music in attendance. Lost River and Lick Creek afford opportunities for the lover of the rod to indulge in his favorite pastime. No tedious stage ride. The steel tracks of the Monon Route arc laid to the springs, and first-class trains running regularly. You can purchase through tickets of any ticket agent to French Lick and West Baden Springs stations. For descriptive pamphlets containing analysis of the waters, address any agent of the Monon Route.

So read the headlines of many a newspaper column, and we peruse with palpitating intelest the details of the catastrophe, and are deeply impressed by the sacrifice of human lives involved. lot thousands of men and women are falling victims every year to that terrible disease, consumption (scrofula of the lungs), and they and their friends are satisfied to believe the maladv incurable. Now, there could be no greater m stake. No earthly power, of course, can restore a lung that is entirely wasted, but Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will rapidly and surely arrest the ravages of consumption if taken in time. Do not, thereloie, despair until you have tried this wonderful remedy.

The present Presidential campaign is somewhat remarkable by reason of the high literary ability engaged In preparing authentic and really excellent biographies of the men who are named for rulers of the foremost nation of the earth. The popular Senator and soldier, General Lew Wallace, more widely celebrated as the author of “Ben Hur,” and'one us Gen. Harrison’s most intimate and life-long friends, has just completed the authorized biography of the Republican candidate, and the life of President (’leveland, originally prepared by his old friend, ex-Gov. Dorsheimer. has been almost entirely rewritten and enlarged by W. U. Hensel, one of the brightest journalists and among the foremost men of the Democratic party. They each contain also a sketch of the Vice Presidential candidate. These books are far above the usual standard, and illustrate how self-made men have risen to great eminence, and every loyal mam woman anti child ought to be familiar with the life, eharcter and public services of the man they help to make President of this great nation.
