My Galle n guide, servant, companion and friend, nest Dobrado, became so enamored of our itcring sort of wanderings, that on leaving ja I had no difficulty in overcoming his ruples against traveling on foot. And so j way to the southern sea coast of Portu 1, perhaps 150 miles hy the windings of e quaint old thoroughfares of the coun r, was made from Bija in this delightful inner. In no strange land have I walked that stance with such a continuous sense of ition of interest. There are early Oc bcr days in our own land which all these Tsaml night recalled days when the rdare is still rich upon the trees; when e aftermath has pushed above the stubble the fields and spread an emerald carpet ove the after-harvest sere; when sides arc udless and of wondrous depth of blue: 3 w hen an aroma that hints of fruit or of me is in the bracing air; evenings when e whole sky is ablaze from the retting of and red suns that seem to wait huge and orious before plunging beneath the purple Hows of the West; and nights when the earning of lights from farms aud hamlets ckens the lootstep of belated wanderers, 1 unconsciously makes more eager all me gatherings "where firesides are already ting on a bit of the winter glow.

It is a sort of title system alwavs amicably adjusted be tween owner and "peasant. "A grade below these caseiros is a class corresponding to the English, Scotch and Irish cottiers. These choupanas live in the cabins of the mor gados and caseiros at the will of the latter. Aside from these are the sheep and cattle herders and the goatherds that arc found in more picturesque mountain localities; the Max-bleachers along the edge of some bawling mountain stream or against the sheltering rocks by the seashore; the in terior muleteers, who, for the most trivial wages or portions of grain, convey products and merchandise to and from the towns of the coast; the wood-choppers of the mount ains; and the carboneiros who are found in the highest mountain forests lazily em ployed in burning the charcoal used in cooking by the aristocracy of the cities. lJlvisions of the Peasantry. "With these divisions of the Portuguese peasantry mav be counted the rush gather ers of the mountain tarns; the osier-cutters who supplv the. basket makers of the towns; the furze gatherers who dot the dreariest mountain heights; the fern and rush cutters who Kiinn1r the ehnrrhes and homes with fragrant branches for strcwins on holy and feast davs; and the wood gleaners who gath er dead limbs at w ill in forests of the estates and'among the mountain wilds both for the use of the peasantry and the humbler classes of the towns.

There is a careless "half-joyous abandon upon the surface of all jileatant toil which adds greatly to its picturesqueness. Join with this, q'uaintness in dres, primitivencss of implements, that grace which unvaryingly accompanies innocent ignorance, and the universal loveliness of scenery, and your pastoral pictures are most idyllic and com pltte. The Ground Tlfled ITith Oxen. Ground is tilled with oxen, tandem, in rush traces drawing a plough of the sort first known to man the tree-crook or sharpeard root Isow and then you will find one rudely pointed with iron." One short furrow is scratched amid tremendous shoutings. Then the half dozen who have clung to the handles, rode upon the beam, or goaded the oxen, rest by the flower-laden hede or division wallto enjoy siesta or the delights of countryside gossip with passim goat herds or muleteers. "Where the hillside is too steep lor this gentle proccss, long handled hoes with cumbrous blades do lazy duty; for the spade is rejected as a con trivance of the evil one. All American cereals grow here in luxur iance for a mere pricking of the soil. The small grains are gathered, a handlul at a time, cut by the olden sickle, and gleaners follow as in the Bible days. Corn is cut, or pulled, the leaves preserved for fodder, the stalks munched by goats or donkeys, or used for fires, the cars strung toccthe and hunc upon pyramidal lattice-work for cur ing, aud, finally, after husking when the genuine old-fashioned American "husking bee," here of weeks duration, the peasant securing every hnndredth car for his labor, and a kiss from his inamorita for every red ear found, is everywhere progressing the kernels are removed from the cobs by the choupanas and children who receive the cob, for burning, in payment. A score of merry stragglers are required to house the product of one acre ot gronnd, and every one of these work, or make pretense of work, in that care-free, need-nothinjr way that marks all toil aud effort here. "Wheat, barler aud rve are threshed piecisclv as ther were 1,000 years ago. Iortuj-Tiee Threshing X'loor. At every roadside and beside the granary of every villeggiatura, round, high piles of pumiced stone,"beaten and rainsoaked until hard as granite, may be seen. These, called etras, are the Portuguese threshing floors. The grain is piled upon them and cows and oxen, blindfolded, are driven in opposite directions, until the treading has released the kernels. There is no other method of threshing grain in this country; and the lanning mill is unknown. The straw is lifted off the eiras with wooden forks and preserved for the food of donkevs and goats. Then a flag is hoisted to find the direction of the wind. This done, men and w omen, but more often women and girls, standing at the side from whence comes the wind, throw the grain and chaff into the air, and the chaff is borne away. The home-life of the Portuguese peasant is not always a radiant one, never lacks cheerincss, affection and simple content. He knows no other life better than his own, and is satisfied with what he has and gets to the end of his days. The cottage or cabin or hut is simply a square structure built of rock thatched with lurze or tiles. The win dows and doors are never closed, lor there are neither cold blasts nor robbers to enter. The bare earth is the floor. He requires no stove. His fireplace for cooking is simply a slab, waist high in the wall, and the smoke kindly takes care of itself. His staolc food is meal bread fast day, feast dav and five times a day. Eggs, chickens and goat's milk are almost withont value, and salt fish, usually "bacalho" or dried codfish, and wine are his luxuries. Prom One Heaven to Another.

Millions Squandered by a New York Company on Sky Scrapers, PAYING DOUBLE THEIR VALDE. Gross Mismanagement As Shown by an Offi cial State Eeport THOUSANDS SPEXT ON BLACKMAILERS Xew York, Jan. 2Z The report of the Insurance Department of the State of 2Tsw York of its examination into the condition of the affairs of the Xew York Life In surance Company was made public to-day by Superintendent Pierce. Mr. Pierce pre sents a summary of the result of the investi gation made by his deputy, Michael Shan non, with his own comments thereon. Fol lowing are the principal parts of Mr. Pierce's statement: The most satisfactory result appearing in this report is the conclu sion reached that this great and uselnl institution of our State is, beyond all question, solvent, and is the actual owner and possessor of a surplus of available assets and property exceeding its present liability hy 56,038,130.33 accrued upon its general account.and 58,670,539,50 upon its tontine accumulation. Taicl Twice the Value or Buildings. "The appraisals of the real estate and mortgages owned by the company were made in every case by competent authori ties selected by myself after much care and consideration, and full confidence may be reposed in their fairness and accuracy. "The actual cost of Holbrook Hall to the Company was 51,009,86068, while the actual value thereof, as estimated by the appraiser of the Department, did not exceed 5480,000. "The account of the matter presented to the Committee of Trustees leaves a strong impression upon my mind that the interests of the company were neglected and trifled with in its earlier history. A careful con sideration of the facts leads me to state as a conclusion that no reasonable excuse or explanation has been offered to rebut the charge of gross neglect and incompetency in the management of this property, from which resulted this great loss of over 5500, 000 to the company in this single invest ment. Some Other Extravacint Structures. "There appears to havebeen aloss of$283, 991 in the Plaza Hotel investment, if wc assume that the appraisement was correct. The home office building, also, shows a large shrinkage in ynlue as appraised by Mr. Coleman and noted in the report "The real estate investments in Paris which cost the company 51,102,C04 05, and which ths French Government values at only 54T0,400, and which the company's own selected appraisers value at only 5787, 200. furnish another instance of great shrinkage in value, and apparently of great I extravagance in the price paid lor it. ane explanations offered are, in my opinion, in sufficient to relieve the executive officers from the charge of excessive expenditure and bad judgment." Under the headt of "Agency Manage ment," Mr. Shannon reviews fully the facts relating to the accounts of the Spanish American Department, L. C Vanuexem & Co. and S. Ij. Dinkelspiel. "After a care ful reading and examination of this portion of the report I am forced to the conclusion that the tacts presented by him clearly indi cate that a state of affairs exists in the com pany's agency management calling for the severest criticism and enndemnation, and which, if continued, must prove ruinous to the company. Analysis of the Company's Accounts. "According to the statement of ths com .pany's accountant, these three agencies are indebted to" the company in the following amounts in round numbers, to wit: Spanish American Department, 5590,009; L. C Vanuexem & Co., 5570,000; S. L. Dinkel spiel, 5348,000, being upward of 51,500,000 by these three agents alone. "Mr. Shannon presents facts that leave no doubt in my mind that several hundred thousand dollars should be added to these figures on account of large allowances im properly made, and my review of the facts convinces me that this whole agency busi ness, in all its features'and relations to the company, and the results therefrom, were entirely in favor of the interests and profits of the agents and against those of the com pany, and the management were guilty of gross neglect in their duties in permitting such continuous deviations from ordinary business rules to the great loss of the com pany. "The company owns real estate in the States of Xew York, New Jersey, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Montreal, Can ada; Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and Amster dam. Jfoney Sank on Sky-scrapers. "The aggregate value of this real estate is estimated at' 514,000,000. Seventy-sevcn parcels of land are situated in the State of New York, 55 in New.Tersey, 4 in Missouri, 4 in Minnesota, 2 in Nebraska and 1 in each of the foreign cities named. "Within the past three years the company has completed office buildings in the follow ing cities and at the cost set opposite each, as per Mr. Van Vranken's report, viz: Minneapolis, 51,0G7,050 25; St. Paul. 5790,. 390 15; Kansas Citv, 51,742.957 9S; Omaha, fl.18S.091 SO; Montreal, 5791,341 53. The net rentals from these buildings have not thus far brought in a fair return for the money invested, ahd there is no immediate prospect that they will prove a', profitable as the investments ot me insurance com panies .should." The report of Mr. Shannon, Deputy Su perintendent ot the Insurance Department, is dated New York, January 4, and in open ing he says: "This examination was made June 30, 1891, and on that date wc find that its assets and liabilities were as follows: Total assets, 5120,710,690; total liabilities, 510G,002,014; gross surplus, 514,70S,675." Thousands Spent on Blackmailers. With Mr. Pierce's statement is the de tailed report of Mr. Shannon, -from which the following is taken: "Mr. Shannon considers seriatim the charges ma4e by Mr. Banta, the deposed cashier of the company. Mr. Banta declared that the company, has paid many thousands of dollars in the shape of blackmail to pre vent exposure of charges ot misconduct in "their management." To this Mr. Shannon replies: "The truth of this charge is admitted by the officers. Several thousand dollars were paid to one Joseph Howard for the purpose ot sup pressing the publication of article's that he had prepared attacking the management of the company. Two other charges made by Mr. Banta were: "The President has di rectBd the purchase and sale of millions (ft securities without the knowledge of the Finance Committee, in some cases pur posely withholding information of the in tended sale because he knew it would be objected to. He has directed the sale of securities without the consent of the Fi nance Committee, through one member of the Finance Committee, with the agreement that the profit of the transaction should be shared by said trustee." Mr. Shannon is of the opinion that the exigencies of the case demanded such ac tion. SPORTING cosslp of midwinter hy John D. Prinjrie in THE DISPATCH to-morrow.

Yesterday morning early ex-Presideut Cleveland went woodcock hunting at Jefferson's, and later in the day and at sunset he stood a passe for duck, which is his favorite game. Last night numerous visitors were received, and this irforning Mr. Cleveland again went THE ' PlTTSBTJIlGr DISPATCH,' hunting, but not so early as yesterday. As no permits are given sportsmen to hunt on Jefferson's Island, game is plentiful, and Mr. Cleveland is getting as much of it as he can conveniently attend to. In conver sation last night he expressed a desire to hunt prairie chicken. Captain Cade, who was among the visi tors, cordially invited Mr. Cleveland and party to accompany him to his ranch near Beaumont, Tex., where prairie chicken are plentiful. The. invitation will be con sidered, and if time permits will be ac cepted. Joe Jefferson," Jr., a son of the eminent comedian, arrived home torday, and will add materially to the success of Mr. Cleveland's hunt, being a thorough sportsman and a splendid shot. Mr. Cleveland is delighted with the country, and was somewhat pleased to find that his 'popularity in this section was so great. He hunts almost the entire day. and reads the newspapers occasionally. He, also, begs to be excused from discussing political ques tions. He says his one object in coming South was to "enjoy himself, and he does not intend to let anything interfere with his do ing so.

I t Other Plans for the Keller of Famine Siir- ferers KrteJ, the Novelist, Emulates the Charitable "Work or Tolstoi Frightful Immorality Forced hy the Conditions. St. Peteksbukg, Jan. 22. The Govern ment, with the view of averting a repetition of the famine, has decided to make experiments in co operative farming. Plots of ground will be allotted for this purpose to communes in the provinces of Saratoffand Samara, and if the enterprise proves successful other plots will be allotted in other provinces. The plots, itisintended.will be cultivated by all the inhabitants, whiie the yield will be de voted to refilling the communal stocks, and the proceeds of the surplus will be applied to the repayment of.local public debts. The authorities are busily occupied with measures to relieve distress. They have postponed the enactment ot the proposed new laws asrainst.the Hebrews and the pro jected establishment of agricultural insti tutes in the Baltic provinces. The novelist Ertel, who is staying in the parish of Makari, in the Province of Veron esch, is arranging to feed the inhabitants there. He receives subscriptions amount inn to 5500 monthly for the purpose. Hun dreds of starving people apply to him daily lor relief. The harvest in some parts of Beronesoh was this year four-fifths below the average. , In many districts there is less than 180 pounds of wheat to each person to last until the next harvest. In Makari, 1,119 persons out of a population of 1,530, are without food and depend on charity. One-half of the live stock owned by the peasants has been sacrificed during the last two months for mere trifles. Many deaths have been caused by starvation. In many towns numbers of families hud dle together promiscuously like cattle. The result is a terrible state of immorality. The result has been mnny tragedies Which never reach "Western ears. Princess Eugenie, of Oldenburg, who owns a large sugar factory in Ramon, mixes sugar-beet refuse with rye meal, the mixture making an excellent bread for the starving. The amount of corn doled out in some vil lages is insufficient, aflording the villagers only one meal in two days. TB0UBLE 0VE THE B0ACH ESTATE. A, Son of the Late Shipbuilder Wants an TJndersInndlnc. NewYobk, Jan. 22. Special Charles E. Eoach, son of William Henry Boash, a deceased son of the late John Eoach, the shipbuilder, applied to-day through his counsel, James A. Dennison, to Chief Justice Daly, of the Court of Common Pleas, to be made a party U the final accounting of the estate of John' Boach by his assignees, George W. Quin laid and-George E. Weed. Colonel Denni son said that John Boach, shortly before his death, had executed a lease of his works to the Morgan Iron Works. The rental was paid to the estate after his death. Col onel Dennison maintains that Mr. Boach was incomcetcnt to make this lease, as he had previously made an assignment. He said, however, that he did not intend to attack the lease in the will. He wanted a larger rent. In the past five years the rental had been from 5100,000 to 5150,000 a year, but in the next five years it should be 5200,000. Almon Goodwin opposed, and said that Colonel Dennison was on a fishing excur sion. The . assignees had executed their trust well, and the matter was about to be cleared up by the assignees paying over to John Roach's estate 52,500,000. He did not want a grandson in the accounting, or any other complications. Decision was re served. , No It jln. No Fay. Millers, S. Dak., Jan. 22.

Territory to Ee Tested When the Spring time Comes Again. BRADFORD AND ALLEGANY ARE DEAD Four wells readied the sand in the Mc Donald field yesterday, but none of them are gushers of any magnitude. Great wells arc slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past in this field, and tho excite ment which, they engendered has died away. There is none of that fever ish energy and abnormal activity which pervaded the entire field three months ago. The bottom has not dropped out of it but the bulk of the oil is gone, and operators are now glad to get wells which at that time could scarcely be forced upon them as a gilt. Leases which they took then merely as an accommodation or to prevent some other fellow from getting are now looked upon as valuable property. Values are assuming a more moderate tone, and many a speculator is now kicking because helwas carried away on the rising tide and paid what now he would consider a preposterous bonus for a lease. It seems to be the general opinion in the field that with the return of spring will come a renewal of activity. Not as great by long odds as during the first excite ment, but enough to keep McDonald at the head of active operations for many months. There is still plenty of territory in the field to be dulled over. Few wells have yet been drilled south of the railroad from Oak dale to Willow Grove. On the western edges also are large blocks of untested land. Where operators have leases which they can hold without drilling they will not be tested until there is better weather, which will bring better roads and possibly a better price for oil. The latter is what is being devoutly wished, for with good prices they can afford to drill even in the face of inclement weather and difficult teaming. The Completed Wells.

SPAIN FACIKQ A BEBELLIOH. The Anarchist Movement Found to Tie n Very Serious Blatter. Madrid, Jan. 22. The organized An archist movement in the province of Mal aga, for the suppression of which troops are being concentrated at Honda in that province, has been found to be a more serious affair than was at first supposed. It has been found that the ramifications of the conspiracy extend to San Ferrando, and there are signs of a renewal of tho disorders at Xeres, which city was a short time ago attacked by a band of "Anarchists. The troops at San Ferrando and Xeres are held in their barracks in readiness to attack bands of Anarchists. It is feared the law less classes will take advantage of the troubles to rob and pillage.

Because They Are Trathfol and Seasons hie. Training and Education Have Tanght Them How to Cure Certain Diseases, Their Experience Haa Shown Them That They Can Curs Them, the Testimony or Thou sands of FatlenU Proves They Can Care Them, nnd They Have an Undeniable Itlght to Claim to Cure Them. It was an honest ohysician a physician la regular practice, and a frank, sincere kind of a man, who, during a4visit to Dr. Cope land recently, made use of a remark which was something liko this: "Doctor, you will pardon me if I say that there is only one criticism that I can pass upon "your way of doing business. There la only one thing that I cannot understand. As I take it, yon mako clear and distinct claims; yon state that yon cure certain dis ease. Now, I cannot understand how von can do this. To tell von the honest truth, I do not feel sure that I can cure anything." Tiic speaker in this case was entirely hon est. He was a well-educated phvsician, in fact was a classmate of Dr. Copeland years ago, and has devoted many years o'f his li fa to general practice, and stands eminently well in the community in which he practices. In spite of his assertion of his own lack of confidence in himself he is successful as a practitioner. Be was entirely honest In the remark above quoted, and ho was Just aa honest when a few minutes later during tho conversation he said: "Doctor, the fact abont it is that a man cannot be a general practitioner any longer. Developments in medicine and surgery in tho last ten years have come upon us so thick and fast that a man cannot cover the field: he cannot keep up with all that isne w and uselnl and wonderful and effective In relieving suffering. He has got to be a spe cialist. In order to know what he is doing, and to be effective in his own work, he has got to confine himself to certain special lines of practice." There had our friend hie the truth, hit it squarely and fairly, and in that re mark had our friend explained his first re mark, and his lacK of confidence In him self. The man whoso work must cover tha whole range of disease to which the flesh is heir, nnd the wholo compass of the theory and practice of medicine to-day can well say that he does not feel as if he could cure any thing. Tne man who confines his work to certain special lines of practice to which ho devotes his time and his efforts, his training and his intelligence forall his life, Has a Bight to Say, Speaking from his experience, speaking from, his knowledge of diseases, and speak ing from the results to which he can point with pardonable pride: "I can cure these diseases: I know whereof I speak; I have given my life to the treat ment of these diseases: I understand them; I know how to cure them: lot tho results of my work speak for themselves in this com munity." This is tlio position of thoroughly trained, experienced and successful specialists. There is no decoption; there is no boasting; therois no untruthfulness about it. When Dr. Copeland and his associates say: "We euro catarrh and kindred troubles; we do cure it every day, and we hava been curing it for years in our practice," they are saying what they know is true; what tho testimony of hundreds of reputable citizeus In the community in which they practlca say is true. Thev do cure the trouble In their special ties, and the reason that they are able to cure them and are ahlo to speak with such confidence is, that they devote their lives to them, nndbystudy.practiceand experience, understand how to be successful in tbem. MR. ASTON'S INDORSEMENT. The Superintendent of the Mines of the J. E. Steen Colliery TJelates His Experience. "I had been troubled for about eight years with catarrh" said Mr. Edwin .Aston, tho well-known superintendent of mines ot the J. B. Steen & Co. colliery at Idlowood, Pa. "I was unfortunate enough to take 'La, Grippe' last year, and since then have been much worse'withniy head and chest," con tinued Mr. Aston. "My nostrils wero clogged up so with ca tarrhal secretions and swellings that I could notbreathe through them. 1 his occasioned violent neuralgic pains over my forehead and through my temples, which almost blinded me. My chest felt as if held in a vise all the time ana I had constant pains shooting through to the shoulder blade on each side. "My breathing was so oppressed that I could not inflate my lungs to tho full extent. In the morning I was all stopped up as if I had been breathing the foul air of the mines all night. Although my appetite was good, what 1 ate did not seem to do me any good. I as I lost flesh rapidly and was fast going Into decline. After treating a short time with Pre. Copeland, Hall and Byers I can I conscientiously say that my trouble la all gone, l reel young again ana nave more life thanlhavebsd for years. "I have recommended quite a number of the workmen under my supervision to theso skillful gentlemen, and they are all. without a single exception, improving as rapidly as I did." KEV. G. M. HODGEMJIf, 20 Kowlcy St, Koch-ster, Ji". T.t Writes; "Having tried the treatment of Dr. Copeland and associates for catarrhal throat trouble, and received benefit therefrom, I take pleasure in adding my testimony to the valne of their methods in treating catarrhal troubles. As skillful, reliable and conrteous gentlemen. I can heartily recommend them to my friends and to the favorable consider ation of the public." OB. C C. UKADBtTRT, 1208 Washington Avenne, St. tools, Mo., VV'rites: "When I first took the treatment of Dr. Copeland and associates my appetite was so poor I could not eat enough to keep my strength up.
