TOPICS OF THE DA?.
Twenty thousand Chinamen are to
be brought to Brazil at a cost of $lO-a
head. They are to be indentured for
five years as laborers, and will be paid
32 cents per day, out of which they
will have to feed and clothe them
selves.
The climate of Siberia is popularly ,
supposed to be very severe. At Philar
delphia, however, the Rev. Sheldon
Jackson, who lived in Siberia five
years, said in a lecture: "No words can
be strong enough to express the charm
of this delightful land, where a cli
mate softer than that of the north of
England insures at all times of the
year full enjoyment of all the loveli
ness around you. In forty years," he
added, "the mercury has been but
twice below zero."
Mr. Sheridan, a humane electrician,
has invented an apparatus for execut- i
ing criminals which is designed to take j
the place of the clumsy but somewhat
efficacious gallows. It is simply a
chair, properly insulated and connected
with wires to. a convenient dynamo
electric battery. The victim is seated
in the chair, a connection is made with
the spinal cord, a knob is touched, and
he is knocked out gracefully as with a
bolt of lightning. Mr. Sheridan has
made the government a present of his 1
invention, and he hopes by its intro
duction to strip public executions of
their popular horror. Ho will find it
an up-hill business to supplant the
primitive gallows.
Jacob Becker, a laborer living in ,
Cincinnati, was given a powerful
emetic to ease a pain in his stomach, and
began vomiting, and did not stop until
a snake eighteen inches long, and one
large and five small lizards, and a sack
containing a number of eggs were
brought up to light of day. The af- '
fair caused considerable of excitement
in the neighborhood, and when Becker
was questioned he said that "he had
not been well" for eighteen years—in
fact, since one day while wandering in
the woods near F rankweiler, Germany,
he took a drink of water from away.
side pool, at which time it is probable
he acquired the undesired zoological
collection.
Several years ago, according to the
Detroit News, Miss Cynthia E. Cleve
land was an efficient dress-maker at
Pontiac. She got interested in the
temperance cause and became one of
the most efficient workers in Michigan,
and as such was favorably known
throughout the state. Two or three
years ago she went to Dakota, where
she likewise became famed in the anti
beer and anti-whiskv cause, becoming
•r ' O
president of the State women's Chris,
tian temperance union. Less than a
year ago she was admitted to the bar,
being the first lady to enjoy that high
distinction in Dakota. A short time
ago she had her first case in court, and,
stranger than fiction, it was a woman
on trial for selling liquor without a li
cense—and she won her case.
It is estimated that the crowning of
the Czar Alexander at Moscow cost the
impoverished people of Russia some
thing like $10,(J00,000. The country
is virtually bankrupt, and a new issue
of treasury bills will be necessary to
meet this foolish expenditure. The
Russian crown is only worth $1,500,-
000, and it probably couldn't be pawned
for half that sum. The big Brooklyn
bridge only cost $9,000,000, and it will
be a standing monument to the genius
and enterprise of man when the de
scendants of the Romanoffs are wan.
dering beggars. It would have been
better if the czar had contracted to
have his coronation job performed by
professional crowners for something
like SIO,OOO, and spent the remainder of
the $10,000,000 for a new bridge or a
railway.
, The continued disappearance of the
sardines, once so abundant on the coast
of Brittany, has become a serious ca.
lamity to the people of that part, where
the catching has been wont to give
employment to 1500 boats and more
than 9000 fishermen, while the curing
and packing for home consumption
and exportation have furnished a liv- ,
ing to a very large number of male
and female hands. The reason of the
disappearance is believed to be the
great change of temperature during
the season, the weather having for the !
last two or three years been not only
more valuable, but at times even dur
ing the summer months, comparatively
speaking, cold and stormy. These
changes it is believed have driven the
6ardines toward other coasts; and up
to the present time there is no token
of their reappearance.
Opium Smokers.
Most authorities agree that the first
opium smoked by a white man in
America was consumed in California J
but there is a division of opinion as to
when the vice was introduced. Dr.
11. H. Kane of New York, who has f
given the subject careful study, says
that in 1868 the practice was begun in
the United States by a California
"sport" namedClendnyn, but Dr. Allan 1
McLane Hamilton says that he saw
white smokers in San Francisco joints i
long before that time. The habit j
traveled rapidly Eastward, and reached i
New York in 1870. In Park, Mott j
and Pell streets among the Chin se the
I'r.-t joints were op ned. New more *
than 8000 Americans are said to be j 1
flaws to the habit of opium smoking. 't
"A JUMPING-OFF PLACE."
A Town VFhleh Will lie a <■*teway to
Mexico.—A Mexican Andlence.
Laredo is literally th 9 "jumping-off
place" for this part of the country,
writes a correspondent from Laredo,
Tex. Here it is that the Missouri Pa
cific system finds its most extreme
southern end, while from hero the
Mexican National, and to-be-built In
ternational roads, take their start and
shoot southward to the city of Mexico,
some 800 miles distant. The place is
destined, at no very distant day, to be
an important stopping point, as it is
directly on the route of travel between
the United States and Mexico. Laredo,
take it as a whole, consists of two
parts, North Laredo, located in the
United States, and South Laredo, which
is upon the opposite shore of the Rio
Grande river, in the republic of Mexl"
co. The combined population of the
two towns is about. 15,000. North
Laredo has little the larger popula
tion, and is by far tne more civilized
and enterprising part. Most of the
inhabitants of both sides are Mexicans,
although on the Texas side there are a
larger number of white people, most of
whom, if not engaged on some of the
railroads, are interested in business or
land in the vicinity.
Laredo is not an inviting looking
place, and does not offer many induce.
1 ments to a person who wishes to live
in a decent, comfortable style. The
soil on which the town is located is
sandy, with some cactus, small bushes
or dwarfed trees growing here and
there. When the wind blows lustily, a
fine alkali dust is distributed all over,
! and is anything but good for clothes or
i the eyesight. The houses and most all
other buildings are low and flat and
uninviting in appearance. The bank
building, court house, post office and a
few other buildings are, however, sub
stantial appearing, good sized brick
structures, which have been built of
late by the Americans. The hotels
are veritable curiosities, and, although
not serving as appetizing meals as one
would obtain at home, get up pretty
fair eatables. All milk used is obtain
ed from goats. It is hawked about th
streets by Mexicans who ride on a
little donkey, which has a can of the
goat's milk suspended on either side.
The drinking water is obt;iined from
the Rio Grande, It has a queer, soft
taste, and seems to have little sub
stance. There are scores of Mexicans
here who make their living selling this
water alxnit the streets. Go where |
you will down to the river bank, and
you will see from five to twenty
these little water carts. They consist
of a large sized barrel mounted on two
wheels, and are drawn, each, by one
little "burro" or Mexican donkey. I
wish that I could picture to you the
ludicrousness of one of these outfits— '
the "burro" itself is the most comical,
craggy, tough, God-forsaken-looking
little creature I ever set eyes on. It
resembles, for all the world, a huge
rat which has just been drowned out
of its hole. The burro has a tail
which looks as though it had been
gnawed half off by an industrious
terrier. Ihe streets are quite narrow
in places, yet again they will be found
wide, well-built and substantial.
Most of the persons seen on the streets !
are Mexicans. They all wear the pro- '
verbial "sombrero," wide, flowing"
trousers, and are frequently wrapped
up in a blanket, generally of some
bright color. A Mexican, when
attired in his street costume, looks
most like the heavy villain one sees on i
the stage about the time blood is to be j
shed. The people all seem to be ex- !
cessively civil and peaceable—anxious
to please you—do not stare at
but appear to have business of their
own to attend to, and go about it con
tent not to molest, if left undisturbed.
The Mexican National railroad has its
main offices at Laredo, on the Texas
side. The buildings are constructed of
brick, are large, substantial, and pre- !
sent a good appearance. I went to
see "Blind Tom" the night I arrived |
in Laredo. This musical wonder, who
has charmed and mystified thousands
all over the country for years, has
drifted way down into this edge of
civilization. He drew a good audi
ence, too, and we were greatly interest
ed, as, seated in a large and well ven
tilated hall, located over the principal
saloon in the place, I gazed upon an
audience which was truly representa
tive of frontier life. There were a
few white ladies, generally the wives
of Americans employed by the railroad
company; several Mexican women, in
their peculiar fancy headdress, a num
ber of small children and babies, about
a dozen representatives of "Uncle
Sam" from the neighboring military
post, some in a half-dress uniform, and i
others wearing simply a civilian's dress
and a soldier's air. There were Laredo
police—Mexican and American— each
with a small silver star on his breast,
and a huge revolver on his hip in a
belt. Colored people and Mexicans, ;
Americans and Germans, of all ages,
sizes and conditions, made up the
balance of the audience, which, albeit
that it was a curious looking mixture,
was at the same time most orderly and
appreciative.
The largest single sale of mules ever
made in the United States took place
at Columbia, Tenn. The purchaser
was B. Leonard, who paid $lB5 a
head for 155 animals, making an ag
gregate of $28,675. They are for use
upon sugar plantations, and will be
taken to Louisiana.

From a Providence Merchant.
MR. GEOBOI H. DA vis. a fruit dealer at 7 We*T
imtnster street, bears his grateful testimony to the
.nnequaled excellence of the production of one of
!onr most skillful Providence ttiarmadsta. Mr.
Davis says: " Last spring I was very greatly trou
bled with severe inflammation of the kidneys, and
it became so bad that at times I urinated blood, and
my sufferings were intense. My condition was so
painful that for a while 1 was scarcely able to attend
to business, and the severs pains would come so
suddenly and severely that I would bo obliged to
leave a customer whom I might happen to be wait
ing uj>on. During a part of the time I was unable
to walk, and scarcely knew what to do or which way
to look for relief. At this time a friend recom
mended Hunt's Remedy, I took two bottles of it.
and it took right hold of ray disease and cured me
very r.pcedily, and I have experienced no trouble
with mr kidneys since.
" Furthermore, Hunt's Remedy has strengthened
me very much, and since I began to use it I have
boen able to attend to businoss, and am all right
now. f heariily recommend it to all. What it has
done for me it will dd for jgu who ars affllctod."
Nnfibred for Twenty Year#.
"How. JOSHUA TrrnrLL, of East Saginaw, Mich.,
says: "Count mo among ths enthusiastic friends
of llnht's Remedy. It has proven in my case all
you claim for it, Having suffered for about twenty
years with severe dUeiHSOf the kidneys (which onr
local physician pronounced Sflgtlt'i Disease), I
made a Journey East to consult the eminent Dr.
llavcn. Of Hamilton, fie W York, of whoso fame in
this S|cialty 1 had heard much. Dr Haven exam
ined me carefully and simply said! Oo and get
a 1 Kittle ot Hunt's Remedy and take according to di
rections.' Alter having traveled so Jar tor trcau
incut, it struck me as rather liiuny to be directed
to take a medicine which 1 might have bought
within a stone's throw of my own door: but i w*a
In the doctor's hands, and of course 1 followed his
advice, and right glad was I that 1 old so, tor be
lore 1 had taken Hunt's Remedy halt a doik n times
1 found iftlmeußc benefit from it, and by contin
uing the use of it for a limited time I recovered
Iroui my trouble en'irelv, add am to-dav, 1 think,
one of the most nigged of rugged Mictiigander*.
The world is indebted to you. air, tor the promul
gation of such a medicine, and I hope you may
not go without your reward."
