They had fresh pork for sup per and during the meal one of tho "tow heads" unfortunately spilled some of the gravy upon tho tablecloth. It was a largo spot but Will said it did not show very! plainly for the cloth looked as though it had met with many similar accidents be fore, but tho old woman was vory nngry and scolded and stormed and ended the "dirty brut" till its cris resounded through the cabin. V ell, after supper the boys sat down around tho fire, whilu tho old womau washed the dishes, after tho dishes were washed fry iiig-pan and all, she got tbo soiled tablecloth and putting it in the dishwater, gave it a good washing und then hung it up on a polo over the fireplace to dry, scolding all the timo about tho "nasty young ones" "how much dirt they made."

VIOLA. litis Hill, July 3d. The Kmvlre of Brai.tl.Tlie Uov. James C. Fletcher, a misiiuiiary to Jlrazil, speaks of that einjiro u follows: "It is certainly a remarkable fact that we tlioukl know more of China raid India than of the empire of llra.il, which in its constitution, its free press, jtj pcioefuluesH, und ils national prosperity, more nearly resembles our own government than any other upon the globe. For mora tliau 30 years tliis decentralized government (a Constitutional Irnperiulity) advanced without one bloody revolu tion, while the red hot volcanic republics of Span ish America have not suffered one popular erup tion to cool before another was belched upon it" Fruin other rources of information it appears thai llrazil Is a great producing country, and annually supplies us with about $1-1,000 ,(100 woilh of her productions, consisting of coffee, sugnr, dyowonds, raw hidi s, guuno, and Indian rubber. In return she receives from us only $4,S l(i,807 woi lh of ar ticles, llio growth and production of (ho L. States. The tingle urlicle of Hour constitutes moro than one halfnfour exports to that country.
