THE UNITED. STATES OF BRAZIL.
. The "United States of Brazil" is a
term which just now one has to use
with unpleasant qualification andnncer
talnty. Whether General Fonseca is
president, usorper, dictator or tyrant
will be clearer when the press and the
telegraph of that country get release
from the present governmental manipn
lation. Fonseca declares that he
loyaf to the republic, and that althougl
he has dispersed the congress, he has
called a meeting of a new congress .for
January, which he expects will revise
the constitution to suit his own notions
as to what a constitution for such a re'
public as Brazil should be. The Brazil
ian "States ' are spread over an iqv
men ae territory nearly as large as all
Europe. and some of them are as unlike
as they are remote from each other,
Over eighty per cent, of the population
cannot read. A large part of the more
educated people, disgusted with Romish
superstitions, have gone over into athe
ism. The ecclesiastical authorities, ex
asperated by the limitations put on their
"riehts" to control education and
nearly everything else by the new re
public,' are at heart disloyal to it.

extent secession has broken out and
- what armed conflicts between the
"republic" under Fonseca, and certain
of the states, it is impossible from pres
ent imperfect and contradictory reports
to speak with any certainty. One thing
is sure, Fonseca knows and feels he is
on uncertain ground, and rumor says he
has sent in his resignation, hoping to
quiet the disturbing influences that are
tending to overthrow the government,

MONARCH OF THE DEEP.
THANKSGIVING MINCE-ilEA T.
As Thanksgiving time draws near we
realize more than ever how many things
we have to be thankful for.' Russia is
. Buffering from that terrible plague, the
famine. Though not go gn at as that
Tssited on Pharaoh and his people, it is
none the lesss terrible to those who suf
fer in it. ' ' --
How thankful we ought to be that the
"Giver of all good" has given 'us abun
' dant crops, thai we may fill oar granar
ies and store-houses, but ic is to be hoped
we will be ready and willing to help our
sister states or counties from the bounty
of our store, and not hoard it up as did
the rich man in the Bible, and tnns in
cur the displeasure of our Lord. " '
No doubt the calamity which lately
befell our beautiful city and left so many
homeless, seemed to us a great punish
ment for which -we could in no wise
. account. Yet ought we not to be truly
thankful that it was no worse? "God
. worketh all things together , for good,
' and though it seems hard sometimes, we
should humbly bow our heads and say
"Thy will be done." ' . -
We should be thankful that our town
is rising like a pheonix from the ashes
and that our business men are not
despondent, but can look through the
clouds and see a clear and golden sky
beyond.
We should be thankful that at last
our citizens have awakened to what was
needed by our farmers, and indeed all
the people in and around The Dalles and
. have pat on our grand old river, a line
of steamers, and that they realize the
' needs of the farmers and shall fulfill
their wants.
Providence permitting the people's
boat, will not tie up for six months in
the winter time, but will enable those
living in Washington, off the line of the
railroad, to ship their goods in winter as
well as summer.
Marion Hartland's recipe for mince
meat is "to pot in everything but the
rag-bag." I have often thought how
much our lives may be likened to mince
meat.' Some lives, in fact, all our lives
at made up of little things, which,
when put together in the right way, are
good, and a credit to the maker. Some.
- lives, I am sorry to say, have the rag
bag thrown in with .the other things.
We that are in comfortable homes,
seated around cheerful fires, or bounti
fully spread tables, with all whom we
hold dear near oa, ought to thank our
Heavenly FatherthafTwe are not as
some, and ought to endeavor to brighten
. even oneislife witil a morsel of Thanks
givingeheer, seasoned with a "good big"
slice of turkey,' and a mince pie.
IT IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS.
Comments on Miss Mitchell's engage
ment appear to be the order of the day.
Many of them it seems to us, are very
much out of taste. If the Duke de
Rochefpncould is a true man, why should
not Miss Mitchell give her heart with
her hand, the same as any other young
lady, and in that case all we can do is to
wish for them both the blessings of a
happy life, and that their's, may be one
more true home founded ; s blessing,
whereever it is, be it France or America,
- and which we trust it may prove, and un
til the contrary is known, for the sake of
American womanhood. Do not let us
hear any more about our girls being in
the foreign market for sale, and knowing
Miss Mitchell we do not wonder at the
duke's choice.
The New York a Triumph of Modern
Science The Largest Warship
Afloat..
The largest and most formidable war
ship ever built for the United States is
the New York, recently built in the
Philadelphia navy yards.
The New York, though not exactly a
sister ship of the Maine and Texas, will
be an armored cruiser of the same type,
and one of which the state in whose
honor she is named may well be proud.
The mission of the vessel will be to
carry a war into tne enemy s territory
and though not intended to fight in the
line of Dattle. her euns will De sum
ciently powerful to enable her to give a
. f 1 1 C L 1 1
good account oi nerseii against mi wm
ers. She at least will not be forced to
'run away" that she may "live to fight
another dav. as might be the case
with some of the vessels in commission
-. The following are the dimensions, etc,
hof the New ork:
Length on the water line 30 ft. CI in.
Breadth of beam W f t.
Mean draught 23 ft. 3.5 ib
Displacement b,ii ions.
Sustained aea speed lK.ii knots.
Maximum speed 20 knots.
rnmnlomunt fnlfifvn ahd men) 47-.
Coal endurance (total capacity). . . . 13,000 miles,
The above table shows that the new
vessel will have a displacement of 1,500
tons in excess of the Maine, now stand
ing at the Brooklyn navy yard, and a
collective horse power of 18,000, nearly
8.000 more than that of any velsel .ow
in our service.
There will be four separate engines,
each haying a power of 4,500 horses,
Two of these will work the shaft for the
starboard screw and two that for the
port. These engines will be so ar
ranged that they may be disconnected,
allowing the vessel to cruise under hall-
power. They will be technically known
as vertical, inverted, direct, acting,
triple expansion engines, and will be
arranged in three water-tight compart
ments. The cylinders will be three in
nnmber. havine a diameter of 32, 4fl and
70 inches respectively, with a stroke of
42 inches. The air and circulating
nnmna will be driven independently,
and the four main condensers will have
an area of 5.560 sauare feet.
Steam will be furnished by six Doners,
heated bv eieht furnaces. The former
will be of the type known as horizontal-
return, five-tublar boilers, and win be
placed two abreast in three water-tight
compartments. They will be 13 feet, 6
inches in diameter and 21 feet, 3 inches
in length. The working steam pressure
will be 100 pounds to the square inch,
the total grate surface 996 square feet.
and the total heating surface 1,190
square feet. In addition to these, here
will be two auxiliary boilers above the
projective deck. Both the main and
auxiliary boilers will be fitted to work
under forced draught' on the air-tight
fire room system. Experts agree that
the arrangement of the engines in the
New York show great economy at low
speeds, and it is estimated that on a
bunker capacity Ol l,ouu ions me cruim-r
will have an endurance of 13,000 miles,
more than one-half around the world, at
a speed of ten knots.

Guthrie, I. T., Nov. 23. Particulars
of a strange duel have just reached here
from the Cimmaron country near the
western border of the territory. A
gambler named Bassett had a quarrel
with a ranchman named Weaver over a
game of poksr in which the latter ac
cused the former of cheating. Both
men drewv pistols, but by-standers
stopped them before they had a chance
to use them. The men were both game
and both dead shots. It was decided
that a duel was the only thing that
would settle the trouble, for it would be
sure to be renewed whenever they met.
The ordinary duelling code did not
satisfy them, and they entered into a
peculiar agreement. By its terms they
were to withdraw to a room and friends
were to load one revolver. A blanket
was placed over the table and two re
volvers placed under the blanket, one
empty and the other loaded. The men
came into the room and tossed a dollar
for choice of pistols. Weaver won the
choice. The terms were that both men
should draw the revolvers from under
the blanket, aim and fire at the same
time. One would be sure to ian dead,
while the other would be unharmed.
The positions were taken and the
revolvers drawn. Basset fired first, or
at least he was quickest to snap his gun,
which failed to respond, showing that he
had received the unloaded pistol. With
out flinching, he placed his revolver on
the table and folded bis arms, calmly
looking Weaver in the face. Weaver
took his time and deliberately aimed at
the center of Bassett's forhead. After
what must have been an eternity to the
latter. Weaver slowlv raised the pistol
and fired the ball through the ceiling
saying that Bassett was too brave a man
to die and he did not believe he had
cheated. The men became fast friends,
and all danger of trouble is past as far
as thev are concerned.

brought to Erie tonight a young farmer
from Somerset county, who was en
route to his home near Ogdensburg,
N. Y., whence he was stolen by gypsies
when three years of age. The young
man, now twenty-two years old, was
secured in the way of a transfer from a
band of gypsies. He was adopted by
George M. Nichols, of Somerset county,
and the story ol his adoption was pub
lished a few days ago in an Elmira
paper. A copy fell into, the hands of bis
brother, a-vl " he was identified by a
birthmark and injury which he had re

TrtroTouLuTuaoTTJresi to assemble May
3. The president says the requirements
of the constitution, amended to secure
the independence of the judiciary and
the executive, provides safeguards for
upholding the presidential vote, limit
ing the prerogatives of congress, enlarg
ing the powers of the executive and re
ducing the representation. The presi
dent insists that decorations and dis
tinctions will be respected. A telegram
frrom Pernambuco says a railway was
cut near Rio Janeiro last" night and a
portion of it removed. It is supposed
the work was done by revolutionists.
It is reported the insurgents in Rio
Grande are fitting up an expedition to
capture Desherro, on acconnt of its
harbor.
Negotiations between the two parties
have practically ended. Both Fonseca
and the junta are now preparing with
the greatest possible speed tor a trial at
arms. As cabled Friday, Fonseca sent a
force to attempt a landing near Bar
beasa, just south of the province of
Santa Catherina. Whether the object
is to defend Santa Catherina, or make a
land movement from the coast on Per
Allegro, is not known. It is claimed
that the allegiance of the navy to
Fonseca is growing more and more
doubtful, and that the dictator himself
is alarmed by the evidence of lukewami
ness on the part of his naval command
ers. He dare not remove any of them
for fear of arousing a general mutinv,
and, on the other hand, the Rio Grande
junta is known to have received secret
assurances of naval support and sym
pathy, which is ene reason that accounts
for the boldness of its attitude.

struck him in the windpipe. The little
fellow immediately started to find his
teacher, and got as far as the hallwav

shirt collar to help hun breathe freely
she noticed a small blue mark on his
throat. On learning what had happened
several doctors were summoned, who
arrived as soon - as possible, but it was
too late. In about half an hour from

' A Family Frosen to Death.
i4.Noxvn.LE, lenn., jsov. 24. it is
said that an immigrant train, consisting

through the storm and said he. would
not stop until he reached the: mountain
top. Monday morning, when the other
members started from Knoxville they
traced Akers and bis wagons a few miles

supposition is that the fool-hardy man
and his family lost their way and rolled
into the river, or fell- into some deep
ravine and were frozen to death.

drawing from the speakership. In his

contest wns narrowed down between
Mills and Crisp.
I shall heartily support .Mills. While
none of the candidates are strong tariff
reformers, none so prominently repre
sents the position of the party on this
question as Mills. His defeat would in
a great measure be accepted as an
abandonment of the tariff issue upon
which we must win in 1S92, and there
should be no semblance of wavering or
halting at this critical period."
The Salton Sea Drying I'p.
Los Angeles, Nov. 24. A gentleman
who arrived from Salton yesterday said :
"The Salton lake is fast drying up, the
water having receded to such an extent
as to show very clearly the old locomo
tive which was submerged at the end of
the railroad spur near the salt works.
This is three miles south of Salton sea.
The spur to the mines has been partially
rebuilt, and will be completed in a few
days. A great stretch of desert, which
was submerged, is now drv. and is cov
ered with a glistening coating of salt.
The salt company will resume operations
very soon, taking chances on the waters
coming in again at the high-water season
next year,"
They Will not be Missed.

Quiet in China. .
Shanghai, Nov. 24. The latest ad

river, indicate that everything is quiet.
There has been no more on t rages on
freigners nor are the missionaries appre

progressing. There is still, however,
much unrest in Hunan.
over a Hundred converted natives were I
massacred by the bloodthirsty bands
ihe station at Gehol was sacked and
burned. The priest in charge of the
mission, a Belgian by birth was killed
by the mob and several other Christians
were also massacred. The natives had
heretofore been quiet and there was no
sign in the district that a revolt was
meditated.
It may here be stated that the local
governor in his report of the occurrence
to the Pekin government, does not place
the blame upon the natives of the prov
rince, but attaches the responsibility for
the crimes to bands ot Mongolian robbers
