It is the invention of Dr. Cunha Sales,who prepares it by a chemical process from theCahuby, a tree of the Pernambucan woods. Aliwho have tried it unanimously endorse it as an inkwithout a rival for its manifold excellent qualities.Its conspicuous qualities are: It dries rapidly,dispensing with the use of blotting<-paper; it resiststhe action of water, so that writing can be wettedand rubbed without injuring it; itwrites as well onmoist as on dry paper; it does not oxydize a steelpen.

The Rio News

The official organ of the state govern-ment of Minas Geraes affects to treat thesecession of southern Minas as the un-authorized. and absurd act of an unicnowncommission. This may be perfectly true,but so far as we can see it in no wise affectsthe real question. The facts are that anumber of citizens, whose names are pub-lished, met at Campanha on the 3 ist to ex-press their dissatisfaction with the govern-ment of that state, and the result of theirdeliberations was an act of secession. Thisact may be absurd, but it is none the lessmischievous. The revolt ofthe prisonersat Santa Cruz. was also absurd, for therewas not the least chance of a successfulissue, but it was none the less hurtful for alithat. We have not the slightest idea thatthe Campanha secession will result in thedivision of the state of Minas Geraes, but itcertainly will result ih an injury to thecredit of the state and in undermining con-fidence in the stability of present politicalinstitutions. We do not like to counselseverity, for that will inevitably lead to in-justice and oppression, but the fact remainsthat there will be no end to these revolu-tionary attempts until someone is severelypunished for it. When it is found that arevolution means punishment for treason,then we shall have peace and harmony.

commendations will be observed. Manyan epidemic might have been averted by'the timely and intelligent action of thesanitary authorities, but, as we know onlytoo well, this action is never taken. Gov-ernments can not be depended upon to dothis work ; even the best of them are ig-norant and negligent. If this work—which means the saving of more lives thanare lost on the battle-field—is ever to bedone, it must be through the efforts ofanorganized society composed of men andwomen who are willing to dedicate life andfortune to it. Can it not be done ?

Furniture and Carpete—Mr. Henry King-ston, at No. 8 Rua dos Ourives, has just receiveda large invoice of beautiful furniture for parlors,sleeping-rooms and dining-rooms. He has alsoadded largely by fresh receipts to his stock of spe-ciai upholstered and fine wicker furniture of richdesigns and new styles. Ali the furniture he of-fere to the public is particularly adapted to thisclimate and made of the best wood. In his spa-cious store-room he displays sofás, reclining-chairsprovided with every device of comfort, tapestry,curtains, window ornamenta, an extensive varietyof carpêts, mats, hassocks, oil cloths, ãuilts, mat-tresses, in fine everything to be found in a com-plete and first-class stock of furnitare and carpets.The upholstering depârtment is a special featureof this establishment, and the work that comes fromit is done in the most substantial manner. He alsomakes a speciality of receiving orders to be filleddirect from Europe.

Ao Grlo-Turco.— This prominent establish-ment of Messrs. Estella & Co. at No. 64, Rua doOuvidor, is replete with a splendid assortmcnt ofgoods particularly suiuble for the holiday trade.Their stock of objects of art, children'» toys, toiletarticles and articles for salons, perfumery, &c, iscomplete and can not be equalled for infinite varie-ty, quality and elegance. An examination ofthisvast collection of novelties and useful and orna-mental articles can not fail to discover somethingthat would make a fitting present A specialexposition of fans of ali kinds from the or-dinary to the most highly ornamented and richlydesigned, is made every Saturday and should beseen. The prices are plainly marked and arehalf those of any other house.

It is worthy of notice, and of earnestprotest, that the states are beginning to levya stamp tax of their own, in addition towhat is already levied by the nationalgovernment. The measure is wrong inprincipie and is unjust and unequal inpractice. It adds a further percentage ontransactions which are already heavily taxed,it is confusing for it obliges everyone tokeep himself informed of the acts of twoseparate and independem legislative bodies,it is unjust in making the legality of docu-ments dependent upon conformity with thechangeable requirements of these two bodies,and it is unequal because it will lead toheavier taxes in some states than in others.It will also lead to a heavy multiplicationof taxes on transactions which may have tobe exeeuted in several states, and will tendto impede and complicate general commer-ciai business to an extent which will cer-tainly oceasion serious losses. As this willlargely affect foreign investments and com-mercial enterprises, it will inevitably lead toa depreciation of Brazilian credit and to anincrease in the charges for doing businessin the country. In the end ali these costswill have to be met by the Brazilian peoplethemselves, hence self-interest as well assound principie should counsel them toprohibit ali such economic blunders.There are sufficient sources of revenueavailable, such as that of a land tax, tomeet every local requirement without seek-ing to duplicate taxes already levied by thenational government. The customs andinternai revenue taxes should be kept inlhe hands of lhe national treasury, and ii itis necessary for the slates to have a share ofthem then let a percentage be set apart forthal purpose.

The proposal of some Amazonas legislat-ors to issue a half million in small notes, isworthy of serious notice. The "regionalsystem" proposed by Ruy Barbosa is badenough, but if each state is to be permittedto issue paper money, then there will be noend to the difficulties and losses sure tofollow. There should be one common cir-culating médium throughout the wholecountry, uniform in value and based uponone species of security. There will then beno inequality between the states, and theywill be ali the closer bound together throughsuch a common interest If once the statesare permitted to issue their own currency,then we shall have varying rates of depreci-ation, arbitrary discounts between states,greater confusion in foreign exchanges, anda wide divergency between the profits oncommercial enterprises in contiguous states.Brazil is encountering difficulties enoughwithout this, and a check should be at onceplaced upon the project There is unques-tionably a general lack of small notes,owing to the abominable policy pursued ofpermitting bank speculators to issue largenotes, presumably to avoid the labor ofcountingandsigning. Here in Rio eventhere is a serious lack of change and incases 2% has been paid for it. The govern-ment, however, can easily meet the require-ment by issuing small notes in exchangefor large ones, and this should be done atonce.

There is perhaps no better illustration otthe humane tendencies of modem civiliza-tion than the organization of societies forthe relief of those falling in battle. Noble,tender-hearted men and women have dedi-cated their lives to this service, and are to befound wherever war is doing its dreadfulwork. The work of these devoted servantsof humanity is honored and protectedeverywhere, and their badge opens for themevery door. Besides these there are othersocieties for supplying hospitais with nurses,for the protection of the aged and infirm,of children, and of dumb animais. Inevery direction we find some manifestationofthis spirit ofself-sacrifice and fraternity.It has oceurred to us, in considering thepresent state of affairs in this city and San-tos, that there is stiil another field lo occupyin the work of organized relief, and that itmight be iniliated right here in Rio deJaneiro—the work of carrying relief to thevictims of fever, and of improving the sani-tary condition of places where dangerousfevers are common. Like the others, itshould be a private organization and shouldbe accorded the íullest protection by theauthorities wherever its work is required.It should seek to provide nurses,hospitais, ambulances, medicines for thepoor, and everything which can alie-viate lhe sufferings of the poor. It shouldstrive to seek out the sources of infectionand to propagate better ideas ofcleanliness,ventilation, alimentation and personal ha-bits. And it should be protected by aliauthorities in its recominendations for theabatement of nuisances, and for the execu-tion of sanitary "improvemenis. Such asociety would need to be well instrueted insanitary science ; it will therefore be lhework of educated men and women, whoseopinions will be respected and whose re-

The nevvly elected directors of the Bancoda Republica have not taken upon theirshoulders a light responsibility, and theirmanagement of a delicate and difficult taskwill be watched with interest. The com.-position of the directory shows that it is theresult ofa coalition; Sr. Figueiredo has hisrepresentatives, Sr. Mayrink has his and itis supposed that Sr. Pinho has also arepreséntative upon the new board. It isquite possible that some such arrangementwas inevitable, but at the same time itmust be confessed that a diversity ofinfluences can hardly be expected to pro-duce harmony of action, and if the newlyelected managers of Brazil's great financialinstitution are able to preserve peace amongthemselves, it is to be hoped that theywill reduce the chãos delivered over to theminto some form that will inspire a shade ofthat confidence which the Banco da Repu-blica has never enjoyed heretofore. It isevident that a vast amount of disagreeable"dunning" will be thrown upon Barão deGuahy and his colleagues. The giganticspeculative operations fostered by Sr. May-rink and his colleagues in the Banco daRepublica, the Banco Constructor and theBanco de Credito Popular must be liqui-dated in some form if confidence is soughtfor the Banco da Republica, and can theseliquidations be realized without damage toreputations ? We tear not; and hence weconsider that the new directors are assuminga responsibility that either is the expressionof most admirable courage and confidence,or is inspired by a certainty that aid is tobe extended to the reformed institution bythe Treasury. There can be no one con-nected with Brazil that honestly wishes thetotal destruetion of the Banco da Republica.Its management has been that of lunaticsso far, but if these managers have incurredliabilities that can be enforced by the newdirectory, then it may be justifiable on thepart of the government to extend what aidit can to prevent the entire destruetion ofthe capital of the bank. The meeting cal-led for the 10 th inst. will modify the statutesof the bank, and after this is held, it will bepossible, perhaps, to form some idea as towhat are the expectations ofthe directory,-of which Barão de Guahy is head, as to thefuture ofthe bank. According to the reportof the meeting held on the 6th the newdirectors are to have a constant remem-brance of what is expected of them, foritwas unanimously decided to place a bust ofSr. Mayrink in the bank parlor, and withthis effigy before them the new board willsurely be strengthened in ali their efforts toimprove the credit of the institution ofwhich they have taken charge.

From The Uruguay News, Jan. 24Ü1.LOSS OF THE "JOHN ELDER."

The news of the total loss of the Pacific SteamNavigation Company's steamer John Elder, oneof tlie favorite boats oi this popular line and onewhich bore tlie name nf the founder of this impor-tant service, caused great consternation in tliis city,.where Captai 11 II. Perry, was a great favorite.

Tlie John Elder, Capt. II. Perry, sailed fromValparaiso un Saturday lhe lótli and ran ashore 011Sunday thc 171I1 in a log at Carranza Point nearTalcahuano 50 miles from Constitucion and speedilybecame a total wreck. Tlie crew and passengershowever were saved, they being brought ashore inseven boats of the ill-fated vessel. The port autho-rities also rendered every snrt of help. The mailsand treasure arrived at Valparaiso, per Melpomene,on the 2lst.

The Cleaiy Opera Company were on board andwill of course have lost ali their valuable baggage,scenery, dresses, etc. an immense loss, even ifinsured, as they had made arrangemenls lor givingsome more representalions in lluenos Aires andMontevideo and will now nf course find it tlifficult,or rather itnpossilile, to do much more tlian a ben-efil concei 1, ií that. Great sympathy is felt withCaptain Peny as tbe difficulties of lhal coast arewell known. OfT Carranza Point lhe sea is sodeep that lhe Ica I is quite useless and as fogs arefrequent there lhe danger is very considerable.Some 4000 tons of cargo were lost. We under-stand lhat the Pacific company are their own insu-ters, and as the vessel was an <>ld one her insuranceaccount will more than cover tbe loss. The comp-any, as we have lately mentioned, has several newboats building and alnw\t ready, so lhat no seriousinconvenience will lie felt in lhe service by thisunfortunate loss.

" Porto Alegre, bth.The provisional government of the state main-

tain.% itself surrounded witd ali popular prestige,directing aflairs írom on board the gunboat Marajó.Col. João Pinto was arrested to-day as one of

the leaders of the insurrectionary movement.Olher arrests have been made.

The 291 h battalion of infantry which had siezedthe telegraph station at Cachoeira returned to itsbarracks upon the energetic intimation of Col.Pedra.

The population of the city demands the with-drawal of the battalion.

The 4U1, 6th and I2th battalions which remainfaithful to the government are expected here.The only battalion that is still hostile is the 13U1.

The commander of the district has not acted ascircumstancès required. "

O Tempo adds that this telegram was receivèd at2 a. m. on the 7th; that it refers to former tel-egrams which had not been receivèd, and asks thegovernment what had become of them.

RIVER PLATE ITEMS.—The rainfall in Buenos Aires last yearamounted to 944 millimetres, of which i58mm fell

in March.

—The Cleary company, which was wrecked onthe John Elder, was expected to arrive at the Riveron the Liguria and will give a performance inBuenos Aires on the I5th inst.

—The Buenos Aires Herald of January 9th wasreceivèd on Sunday last by a steamer which broughtMontevidéo papers ofthe 3 ist. The Buenos Airespost-office seems to be thoroughiy demoralized.

—An exchange says that a French firm hasoffered the Argentine minister of finance a loan of^10,000,000 on condition of receiving an exclusivemonopoly of the sale of tobacco and matches inthat country.

—The December returns for the city of BuenosAires show that there had been 1811 births (272illegitimatej during the month, 635 marriages,1345 deaths and 105 still-births. The populationwas estimated at 556,663 at the close ofthe month.

—On Wednesday; January 20th, the thermome-ter went up very nearly to 98o Fahr. in BuenosAires, and in Montevidéo it is said to have marked38o C, or 100.4o Fahr.! It looks as though ourPlatine friends will have to come up to Rio to cooloff.

—A decree has been issued by the Argentinegovernment declaring that ali the private banks inthe republic, whether carried on with foreign ornational capital, and whether their boards of direc-tors are in the country or not, are liable to pay thetax of 10% on their profits.

—The bill raising the unjust moratorium imposedon the Bolsa liquidation for July, having at lastpassed the Chambers, receivèd the seal of theexecutive on Tuesday, and is now law. Althoughthe mischief is now in great measure done, thelaw has been welcomed on the Bolsa as removingastanding impediment to business, and champagneflowed in the vicinity to celebrate its promulgãtion.Another instance of gratitude íor small mercies.—Montevidéo limes, January 28.

—The Buenos Aires Inteodnnt has issued anotice to merchants, shopkéepers "ánd

the publicgenerally that the chemical analysis of every ali-mentary substance imported, manufactured or soldfor consumption, is obligatory and that the case,cask, bottle or wrapper, etc, containing the samemust bear the seal of the chemical office. Mer-chants are prohibited from printing on their labelsthe certificate of the chemical office, the onlyauthorized form of certificate being the sealobtained from the office itself.

—Strange to say, in spite of the new emission,paper money is already becoming scarce in themarket. This scarcity will continue in proportionas the shin-plaster decreases in value, and onedifficulty will be added to another until we haveanother emission. Thus the government that onceviolates economical laws commits another crime toescape the effects of the first, and so the way toperditi"n becomes easy. It is not likely thatPellegrini will call for another pull on thepaper factory during his term of office. He willcontent himself with the fifty millions of shin-plasters, but his suecessor must have a new supplvon coming into office.— Southern Cross.

—We call attention to lhe article in anothercolumn on police abuses in Rio de Janeiro. Thequestion of making lhe police and other authoritiesresponsible for abuse and false imprisonment isone that equally affects lhe River Plate. Here, asin Rio, the present customs are not those of civilisednations, nor should lhey l>e tolerated by the foreignresidents.—Montevidéo Tintes, Jan. 291b.

—The 45% of the Montevidéo custom houserevenue for the payment oí the first coupon of tlieConsolidated debt of Uruguay has l>een collecteddaily by the London & River ÍPIate Bank, the totalreceivèd up 10 the present being $304,411.38.Should tbe proceeds of the 45% from the customhouse amount to no more than $300,000 per monlh,that will be amply sufficient to cover this liability,which amounts to about $280,000 a.month. Wheretrouble may arise tn future if this revenue does notincrease, is when lhe question has to be íaced as towhether tbe remaining 55% together with the othersmall sources oí revenue the country possesses, willsuffice to cover the public service of the country,while no attempt whatever is being made todiminish expenses.—Utuguay News, flíonlevideo,January 3lst.

—The extraordinarily high duties now chargedupon ali articles of consumption, and particular! von tobacco, etc, are bringing forth fruits after theirkind. The general public has to pay famine pricesfor its commodities, lhe government revenue is notincreased to any appreciable extent, and lhetemptation to smuggle goods becomes too strong tobe resisted. Through a mere accident, the otherday, it was discovered that a most respectable firmwas endeavoring to smuggle twelve thousanddollars', worth of fine tobacco in jars that wereconcealed in lhe centre of a lot of barreis oiyerba.Oí course these goods were confiscated, but it isvery doubtíul whether their value representsanything like what the government has been de-frauded out of through more successful ventures.—Argentine News, Rosário, January 23rd.

—The political outlook is as bad as it can be.On Monday evening the troops of the line wereordered out to encamp in Maldonado. The al-leged object of this move is to give the soldiers anopportunity of bathing in the river, and for drilland target exercise. Nobody believes that suchwas the real motive. We give elsewhere someparticulars of the row in Mendoza. It appearsthat Suarez who was shot, is dangerously woundedbut not dead yet. The secretary, Narvajas, diedimmediately. Two of the assailants were alsokilled in the fray. Pellegrini and Roca are aboutto return to this city from Mar dei Plata. Costais still sending out arms to the police in the camp,but whom he is going to fight is a mystery. Somesay he will form an alliance with the radicais tosupport the candidature of Roque Saenz Pena.Others say he intends to proclaim himself King orSultan. Roca finds it hard to keep his followerstogether and many of them laugh at the acuerdo.There is a general feeling that the radicais aareconspiring and will make an attack somewKére.Mitre's supporters are crest-fallen and know notwhat side to take. At every hour of the day therewere alarming rumors in the beginning of theweek. Things are somewhat quieter as we go topress and the general opinion is there can be tiorevolution unless by defection of the troops.There's the rub.—Southern Cross, Buenos .Aires,Jan. 22.

—As Gen. Ouriques Jacques did not sueceed indislodging Gen. Clarindo from the gubernatorialchair, the cadets of the Ceará military school havetaken the matter in hand.

—At Vassouras a meeting, attended by 800 per-sons, was held for the purpose of demanainggreater promptness in the shipment and delivery offreight by the Central railway. In consequence ofthe delay with which this service is performed thestocks of merchandise at nearly ali the businesshouses in Vassouras had been exhausted and thepeople were threatened with starvation.

—There was another revolt of military prisonerson the 5th, but this time in the prison at Juiz deFora, where some 30 soldiers were confined forvarious offences. A drunken soldier was sent into procure a prisoner for outside service, and hisbrutality provoked a conflict. Fortunately theouter doors were closed in time to prevent an es-cape, but the prisoners had possession of the cagefor a time.

—A meeting was held at Campanha, MinasGeraes, on the 3ist ult. at which it was resolvedthat southern Minas should separate from the restof the state. A provisional junta was chosen,which issued the customary manifesto about guar-antees to life and property. Tht junta resolved,however, to annul the recent elections of aldermenand justices ofthe peace, from which it appearsthat these penny ha penny local elections are thesource and cause ofthis absurd secession. If theSul de Minas people could realize how painfullyabsurd they appear, they would ali emigrate toGoyaz to-morrow.

Railroad Notes—The daily night train between Rio and Sio

Paulo now makes one trip each way per week.—Tlie director of the Central railway lias issued

orders for station-masters ln prepare their accountsby the loth of every month. From this rule isexcepted the agent at the Rio station, whoseaccounts must be ready by the I5th.

—A friend remarks that if the authorities wantto see a very unsanitary proceeding, let them goto tlie railway station just before train time and seethe crowd alxjut the tickeUoffice. The ticket-sellers window ts kept closed until the last fewminutes, and then tlie snrging unwashed crowd ona hot day is enough to give a wooJen man thefever.

From the American Grocer, January 6th.COFFEE.

For the first time since 1888 the consumptionrises beyond the figures for that year. Coffee hasdeclined during the year, and now rules on Brazilsorts 2% ® 4 cents below the prices of one yearago. Throughout the year spot stocks have beenlight. Coffee, when judged by the value of theimports, constitutes 11.38 per cent. of the totalimports of foreign merchandise. The value of theimports for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1891,was $96,123,777 against a yearly average for thepreceding five years of 162,504,096, an increase of133,619,681. In 1886 the imports were valued atless than one-half the value H11891, being 142,672,-937. That was a year of low prices, the averagecost of fair to prime Rio being 10.76 cents. Thenext year marked the beginning of an era of highcost, the average rising to 18. n cents for the samegrade. This year marks another change towarda basis of low figures and undoubtedly a steadyincrease in consumption.

The imports into the United States for the yearending June -joth, 1891, less exports, comparewith the preceding year as follows :

During several months ofthe past year there hasbeen a great scarcity of desirable grades of Riocoffee, so that Fair or No. 3, and at times gradesbelow No. 7 and above No. 3 have commanded apremium varying from ^ to 3 cents per poundabove the basis of Exchange quotations and theestablishèd difference between grades.While the above table shows a decline of 4 centsin Brazil coffee, the average annual cost is only 1 %cents per pound less than in 1890, when it was19.64cents for Fair (No. 3) Rio; in 1889, 18.55cents; in 1888, 15.35 cents5 i° »887. 17.80 cents ;in 1886, 10.32cents; in 1885, 9.01 cents.

The sales on the Coffee Exchange during 1891were 7»738»«» bags, against 9,733,000 bags in1890.

February çth, 18921] THE RIO NEWS.—It is stated that Capt. Eduardo Gonçalves

Ribeiro, who leít for Manáos onthe 2nd, lias re.ceived instruetions to take charge oí the govern-ment of the state of Amazonas. This is ili tlie lineof " federation," of course.

t. —The minister of tlie navy has given instruc-tions to captai 11 s ol ports to preveni merchantvessels from placing the nationál flag at half mastexcept in cases prescribed by law. This seems tobe a very important matter.

—May it not be concluded that the steady des-truetion of the forests about Rio and in the moun-tains is a cause ofthe oppressive heat and frequentdrouths which we now experience ? It is a subjectcertainly worthy of consideration.

—An offer has been made to the municipal coun-cil to supply the city with fresh beef at 500 reisper kilo. The authors ofthe proposal do not askfor a monopoly, but only for prelerence in theshipment of cattle on the Central railway.

—A deficiency of between 13,000$ and 14,000$has been discovered in the accounts of Capt. Rocha,agent at lhe Rio station of the Central railway.Capt. Rocha was íor a long time agent at Barrado Pirahy and was very much esteemed.

—At the Hotel dos Estrangeiros on the night ofthe ist, Col. Veríssimo do Rego Barros was robbedof 30,000$ in valuable papers and money.. On thesame night the janitor of the hotel was robbed ofhiswatch, and Rodolpho Lucius oí the sum of3oo$.

—In former times, says the oldest inhabitant,we used to have a thunderstorm every evening, andwithso great a regularity that people made lheirengagements for hours before or after the storm.The last fortnight has been something of the samecharacter, for it has rained nearly every evening.

—A proposal has been made to the municipalcouncil for the lease of the Santa Cruz abattoir forthe sum of 250,000$ per annum. The companymaking the offer binds itself to keep constanlly 011hand a supply of cattle to meet emergencies inwhich from any cause beeves should fail to cometo market.

—Will the sanitary inspector go down to thepassenger-landing near the market and take a noteoftherefuse thrown into the bay at that point.The stench at the place at low tide is intolerableand immediate steps should be taken to stop themarket eating-houses from emptying any morerefuse into the bay at that place.

—Dr. Arthur Nunes Maciel has again beenarrested. The arrest was, effected when Macielwas engaged in experimenting the doors of otherpeople's rooms at the Hotel Giorelli, where he hadregistered under the name of Dr. Antonio Barceltlos. It. is a burning disgrace that this notoriousthief is not prosecuted for his crimes!

—As the 23rd battalion of infantry was marchingup Rua do Ouvidor on the 4th two mules belong-ing to a cart were frightened by the sound of thebugie and, rushing against the battalion, werekilled by the bayonets of the soldiers. . Anotherstory is to the effect that the mules were killedthrough sheer perversity and without reason.

—It is stated that the robbery at the Hotel dosEstrangeiros was committed by the celebrated Dr.Arthur Nunes Maciel. Maciel seems to be mak-ing good use of his time since he has been in thiscity. It makes no difference even if he is caughtat it, for the police find it convenient to imme-diately set him at libeity. Perhaps he is dividingthe spoils.

—The minister of the interior has addressed acircular to the governors of the states of Pará,Alagoas, Piauhy, Bahia, Paraná, S. Paulo, Mar-anhâo, Minas Geraes, Pernambuco, Rio Grandedo Sul and Rio de Janeiro, calling their attentiontò the expediency of ordering elections for fillingthe vacancies in the delegations from those statesto the federal congress.

—We must beg the indulgence of our subscribers; in regard to the iate delivery of onr last number.

Tht heat, new rollers and a sort of general demor-alization ali around made us over a day late. Itmay not be generally known, but the damp heat ofthe patt few days has made printing unusuallydifficult. We are usually prepared for such emer-gendes, bnt last Week was an exception.

—It eives us the greatest píeasure to state tha-the Geological Society of London has conferred theWollaMon priie (gold medall for thc past year onDr. Orvilfe A. Derby, formerly of the MuseuNacional and now chiei of the Sio Paulo geograph-ical and geological snrvey, for work done in thatbranch ot scientific research worthy of specialrecognition. 'Dr. Derby's geological work hasbeen almost wholly accomplished in Brazil, andthis recognition of its high importance will, wetrust, give as gennine a satisfaction to his manyBrazilian friends as it certainly does to his owncountrymen.

—President Floriano Peixoto has signed thearmy and navy bills. The land force is composednominally of 24,877 non-commissioned officers andprivates, of tlie cadets of the military schools,whose number must not exceed 600, and of theartillery apprentices, whose number must not ex-ceed 400. Should the number of the troops of theline bc reduced from any cause to less than 20,000,the government may fill up the ranks to but notbeyond this number, and in case of the reorgani-zation of the army, of the voting of a new appro-priation or of some extraordinary circumstance,the army may be recruited to its full strength of24.877. The naval force is composed of 3,012natiònal marines, a naval battalion of «990 non-commissioned officers and privates, 300 firemenand 3,000 naval apprentices.

—The Timto says that Vice-President FlorianoPeixoto was fined by a conduetor on the 4th forembarkingon a Central railway train without ajticket. That is the most hopeful incident we havenoticed in a long time.

—The best business now in Rio, since reportshave fallen into disrepute, is that of a sneak-thief.You have to be caught red-handed, or no punish-iment ensues. Newspaper work is a pleasantamusement, but we think "sneak-thieving" willproduce the most capital within a given time; '-

—The continued silence of the authorities as tothe casualties connected with the capture of SantaCruz is susceptible of only one explanation—therewere none. Of course it would not sound wellafter ali the self-glorification that has been indulgedin, for an official report to say, "no one waskilled,»

—On thejth a committee called on the ministerof foreign affairs for the purpose of conferring withhim in regard to the state of Minas do Sul, pro-claimed on the 3ist ult. at the town of Campanha.The committee also called at Itamaraty palace,but President Floriano Peixoto was too busy toreceive it.

—On the 6th the police claim to have arrested anotorious character, in whose possession werefound a cotleclion of false keys and pick-locks, tworevolvers and a sword, a cigar-box full of car-tridges and other toys of a similar character. Thegentleman appears to have occupied his leisurehours in providing illegal amusement to the inhabi-tants oí Rio.

—Is there any particular eonnection between therites of the Caiholic Church and dynamite bombs ?On the 7th while S. Sebastião was " gallivanting "around lhe town, a string of dynamite bombs wereexplnded in front of the ex-Imperial Chapei whichmade as much noise as a battery of field pieces.Surely holy water will scare off Old Nick muchmore quickly than dynamite.

—It is reported that Sr. Ruy Barbosa is to takea prominent position on the direction ofthe Jornaldo Btatil. It is not reported, but it may be sug-gested, that the Jornal do Bratil will require moretype, an increased staff, more motive power andiron-clad proof-readers, if Sr. Barbosa is to throwhis i.ooo-pound bomb-sheels from the columns ofthe jornal upon an innocent public.

—We hear that the Segittança is finding greatdifficulty in discharging cargo at Santos and thatshe is likely to be detained a week or ten daysthere. We should like to tell the directors of theUnited States and Brazil S. S. Co., at New Yorkthat it is little better than murder to send a steamerwith such a cargo lo Santos at this time. Thefreights received will not pay for the lives lost.

MARKET REPORT.Rio íf« Janeiro, 8th February, 1892.

Exports.Coffee.—There has been a good demand throughout the

week and as receipts have been disappointingly small, themarket has ruled firm, and closed on Saturday with a decidedtendency towards higher quotations. On the 4th brokersadvanced their quotations by 200 rs. and made no furtherchanges, but thc quotations we give below do not expresssellers' views as to the value of the article. The railwayseems still struggling with the traffic difficulties, and yester-day only 750 bags carne over the line .* to a deputation ofmerchants, the present director of the railway declared hisintention of straightening up matters, and it is to be hopedthat he will proceed with energy. It is anything but satis-factory to have receipts curtailed as they are, and as dispo-sable stocks become reduced, a new "slump" in the exchangemarket is very far from improbable. There is at the momenta scarcity ofavailable tonnage, which is likely to somewhatrestrict business, unless sailing vessels can be substituted forsteamers.
