90 churches and chapels, and six
convents and monasteries. Besides
an Anglican chapel there are sev

Others being small and purely local.
The imperial library, formerly the

treasures it possesses tbe only com-plete

Although t'e bay of Kin de Ja-neiro
was undoubtedly visi.ed soon
after the discovery of Brazil, and
as early as 1502, it remained with-out
name until Juan Diaz de Solis
entered it mi January 1st, 1516;
thinking it the entrance to a river,
In- named it Km do Janeiro (river
of January). The first settlement
was 1531. In 1710 the I rench made
an unsuccessful attcn.pt to take
meiitinn it with a mere memory, 111

"Men get used to prayer. A man
can go over the Lord's prayer at
tbe same time that he is doing a
sum in arithmetic. A man can
read a whole chapter in the Bible
and never think of one solitary 1
word of what he is reading. I've |
done it."
"Now it is objected that cntlius
iasin leads to fanaticism. I wish I
could see some signs of this danger
among us. Fanaticism itself is a
thousand times better than languor
and torpidity, though it isn't so
respectable. We are not so much
in danger of fanaticism as we are
nl" cooling aft' and having no fervid
feeling at all."
"I have come to have a great re-spect
for fanatics I think that all
the fifty years of the American
Bible Society, the fifty years of the
American Tract Society, the fifty
years of the American Hoard of
Missionaries for Foreign Heathen,
did not amount to so much, com-bined
together, as an impulse for
setting men free from bondage as
the one single incident in John
Brown's life—his desperate, de-spairing
endeavor to rescue the
slave. There was something in
that that fired the heart of the
whole civilized world. He was a
fanatic. I wouldn't want many
John Browns : we are not likely to
have many; nevertheless, fanati-cism
in a great soul is oftentimes a
thousand times more beneficial to
the human race than the want ot
some fanaticism."
"It is true that enthusiasm
wastes, lint dn ynu refuse to eat
because it wastes food f Win n
you were after your I111 iness ten
thousand did you stop because it
would waste you to be too intense !
The fact is this, that enthusiasm is
shutdown by men in this world to
the. lower functions of life f
"There is nothing that wastes a
I man like laziness. There isn't a
man who owns real estate who
dues not kUOW that a house will go
surmounted with waving plumes,
and the horses decked with the
insignia of grief. There is still,
however, room for improvement in
many of our torms ot grief.
It is questionable to me whether
it is right at all to garb our chil-dren
from head to toot in the deep
est black. Highly nervous cjul
dreu arc sensitive beyond realise
tion to colors, to the quality of the
material and the association in-volved
in mourning costume Some j
proper marks of respect may natu-rally
be placed upon our children,
but it cannot be a duty to the dead
to endanger the health of the living
nr to shadow long and deeply the
tender, impressionable natures of
our nervous American children.
Concerning women the same
truth holds good. They will drape
themselves from head to foot in
the deepest black ; they will cover
their faces with the mourning veils
which shut out the fresh, strength
ening aft and the cheering, joyous
sun, God's natural ministers ol
comfort through physical nature;
they »ill cast a pall over their
spirits measurable DJ the shadow
in which they hide their facts, and
this they will do not only for weeks,
but for months, and not only for
months, but for years.
Dr. Newton then passed on to
those real and binding obligations
which the living are under to the
dead, and while considering the
sacredlieas surrounding a dying
wish said: But what obligations
more easily set aside I One of the
greatest scandals of our civilization
is the frequently recurring, bitterly
fought over contests concerning
wills. So lightly do most men hold
by an injunction from the grave
that he who wishes to see his will
well executed had better make
himself his own executor. He who
has generous schemes for the use
of any of his money after he has
left itV' him order his own schemes
while living and found the work
j himself which he would have go on
I after he has left us.
A Kallroad to Mount Veritou.
A surveying party is now at work
administration. But these sur
prises have been of a totally difler-ent
nature. Secretary Laniar has
surprised even his intimate friends
with the vigor with which he has
entered into tbe duties ot the head
of the Interior Department. For
years Lainar has been called a day-dreamer,
even bv men who have
associated witli>ir.' for more than
.rTiTrr.Fitr^f a century. He was
tbe idol of his State, and while ids
magnificent intellect was acknowl-edged
everywhere, and in Loth po-litical
parties, yet the general be-lief
was that he was totally unfit
for the interior portfolio. So well
founded was this belief that Lainar
occupied a very unique position in
the Senate. Unlike any other
Senator he was not expected to
look after patronage or to pay the
slightest attention to route mat-ters.
Sometimes he would absent
himself from the Semite chamber
for days. Then again he would sit
for weeks without uttering a word
in debat. When once in the fray
however, he made the country lis-ten
to what he had to say. Missis
sippi kept him in the Senate for
just such occasions. She ditl not
expect that he would bother him-self
to descend from this pedestal,
and he never did as loug as he rep-resented
bis State in the national
council. After Mr. Cleveland had
been elected, and while he was
holding the famous "matinees for
statesmeu" at Albany, he met Mr.
Lamar. lie was impressed more
favorable with him than with any
other man he hail mot from Wash-ington.
Lamar could have been
Secretary of State if he had but
said the word, and as a matter of
fact, at one time he was booked
for the place, with Bayard for Sec
retftry of the Treasury, but in the
laterreorgauization of the Cabinet
slate he was given his present po-sition.
Since he has assumed his
duties of Secretary of the Interior
he has astonished those who had a
fixed idea that he would trust the
details of his work into the hands
of the assistant secretaries. Just
the contrary has been the case.
The assistants have been allowed
to perform their legitimate duties, j tl
but Secretary Lainar has thrown
away all his oldtime day dreaming,
and has emerged one of the most
practical of cabinet ministers.
Every detail of his office work he
understands thoroughly, and great-ly
to the gratification of the Presi-dent,
he is making a success in his
position. Secretarj Lamar sold
out the carriages and horses form
erly used by his predecessor. .Most
pi- pie imagine by that he walks,
or rides in a street car ; on the con-trary,
he rides to the White House
on a Kentucky mare, the property
of Senator Beck Lamar is a fine
horseman, and sits astride of his
mare like a ringmaster. The sc
cniid surprise among the Presi-dent's
cabinet officers is Secretary
Bayard.
When Bayard's appointment was maintain
announced it was greeted with gen-eral
commendation by all the wings
of the Democratic party. He was
the scion of an illustrious family in 1
j Delaware, and had served his state
for Hi years in the Senate, being.
1 his father's successor. No doubt
: was expressed that he would make
a model Secretary of State, but if
: the President had set himself at
i work with the deliberate intention
to ruin quicker if untenanted than preparatory to the construction of j of ruining Bayards chances for the
if used as a boarding house" a railroad from Washington City j Democratic nomination in 1888, he
could have adopted no more effec-tual
a mode of procedure than to ,
have appointed him Secretary of •
State. Bayard was a large man in |
the estimation of the public when :
he was a member of the Senate; 1

Pennsylvania road will be used to
Alexandria, and from there there
will be a narrow gauge road built
a distance of eight miles. It is

an interview.
'. You ask me what impression the
President made upon me. Really,
he makes but a single impression
on every one: anil it is because he
has no arts ami no practices. Ik-is
an earnest, unaffected, straight
forward, matter of fact man of bus
iness. He has strong limbs, a
portly person,-.-! -**£ -rVrfJ-nnd its
full of brains. Whoever thinks
is not a great man and seeks an en-counter
with him on that idea will
find himself unexpectedly in the
hands of a giant. He is heavy
featured and rugged, but with a
Napoleonic cast of countenance and
an expression of general good na-ture
and of great will. I should
say ot him that in his convictions
he is obstinate to the last degree;
unless the approaches are made on
the amiable side of his disposition.
I have seen a great deal of otlicial
presentations and receptions in
Washington since the days of Mr.
Van Boron, and Mr. Cleveland
compares favorably with the best
of them in case and dignity of man
ncr, and in an imposing presence,
and sin pases must of them in graei
oosness ami affability, ami the
White House looks more like the
people had a property in it than it
has since "Old Hickory" was its
occupant.
Our two Senators f Why cer-tainly,
both are on hand. As to
eaeh's respective influence, you
know "comparisons are odorous."
But those who know them expect
to see them reach results by obvi-ously
different methods. One by
theswNter in mode, the other by
the/oi/ioT IN n. I saw Gov. Vance
only for a moment, and I hen he was
hard bent on towing Ham Jones
into the Western Attorneyship,
anil it is manifest from the favor
shown to his brother, the General,
and from Hale's getting the impor-tant
consulship to Manchester, that
the Administration likes to keep
the Governor in a good humor. Be-sides,
Ransom gave him efficient
help in both these matters. Any
one who luuks can see that Gen.
Ransom has close relations with
e President and Cabinet, at once
cordial anil confidential, and it is
well that it is so, for he is very con
servative, and always a safe ami
wise counsellor, and a true hearted
North Carolinian.
In the short conversation which
I had with the President he spoke
with warmth of his interest in
North Carolina, and said it was
both his hope and expectation to
pay our people a visit, and that
before a great while.
I saw, too, Mr. Randall, who is
also looking forward to visit North
ami South Carolina. I saw no
Democrat who "as iiiliinic.tl to Mr.
Randall: on 1I1
on every side the expression of
confidence in his orthodox Deiiui
cracy, and he is everywhere 10
garticil as the leader who is to
mil defend the adminis-tration
in the House of Kepreseii
tatives. Having himself greatly
contributed to the platform as it
now stands, he is expected to be its
prominent and faithful expositor
in speech and action.

The following extracts a
from a sermon delivered by Kev.
Sam Jones at Chattanooga last
Sunday:
I shall run these meetings in the
way an engineer would run a train.
This is God's track, and I am sim-ply
doing his work.
I know there are people in Chat-tanooga
that would not get up out
of bed at six o'clock to save this
town from hell; and they are to be
found in the churches of this city,
too, professing to be Christians.
I want italways understood that
ou have enough you may
go. 1 ifcfi'! Mat mjo}" '" *'|v
that this fellow Sain Jones tired"
him. You kuow the way home,
and you may consider the benedic-tion
pronounced, if you want to go,
so far as you are concerned.
I would rather have no religion
at all than the type you have here
in Chattanooga, and if you don't
like that you may lump it. When-ever
my religion dwindles down to
the pitch of ChattanoogaChristian,
I want to go back to the world and
commence over.
A more innocent game never was
invented than baseball; and yet
they have got it as rotten as hell,
to-day, and I say that whenever
Chattanooga or Atlanta or Nash
ville or any other city nn the face
of the earth suffers this game play-ed
on the Sabbath, that city dis
graces herself, ami 1 would not
wipe foot on her at the front door
unless it was powerfully muddy.
I will stop right here to say that
there is not much difference in
church members, as it presents it-self
to I he world. There is old
Brother A. who says "if you do
not turn the dancers out I will
have the church : yet he is lending
money at 30 per cent. Brother 11.
does not loan money, for a very
gootl reason, anil he denounces
usury, but you can take a demijohn
and tote old Brother B. into hell
after it. Here is Brother 0., who
does not dance, drink or loan money
but you just strike him on a trade
and sec bow quick he will clean
yon tip. I tell you, ynu do not
know how much scriptural hell fire
there is in a good trade until ynu
get to hell.

111 one of the colored churches in
this city, somethiug of a turmuil
has lately been raised over the
movement on the part of some of
the members for a division of the
membership on the color line. The
project is one of the most remark
able thai we have yet heard of, |ls
aim being to separate the black
skins from the inulaltoes, the ebon
luted desiring to have a congrega-tion
all to themselves, antl the
mulattoes expressing a similar de-sire
on their own part. The sub
jeet was discussed in a congrega-tional
meeting a day or so ago, and
contrary, I beard J wuiie each party was willing for
a division, the terms could not be
agieetl upon. The minister is a
blackskiuncd divine, and naturally
enough the blackakins laid claim
to him, in addition to the church
ami church furniture. Another
trouble was the fact that some of
the blackskiuncd men had mulatto
wives, ami some of the blackskin
lied women had mulatto liusliauds,
and how to apportion them in the
proposed division was a subject
that createtl a good deal of unsatis-factory
discussion. The difficulty
minis to be insurmountable, but
both factions are determined upon
a division, and it is believed that
the Synod will have to be called
Ma'vo i "I1"" to act as a board of arbitra
possession of the bay ; their com
maiuler was taken prisoner and
assassinated. The attempt was re-newed
111 1711 with success, but
the commander, Duguay Trouin,
accepted a ransom and abandoned
the bay. In spite of mismanage-ment
and difficulty, the colony as
well as the whole province pros-pered;
and in 1703 Kin de Janeiro
was made the capital of the vice-royalty.
In the beginning 1808 !
the royal family of Portugal went

and then set forth the causes which
led to the bitter cry of the text.
It was a sore atllietion, and Job's
wife, put to her wits' end, made a
diagnosis of the case and ventured
to prescribe a remedy. In his par

Steadily grown smaller and small-er,

a constant source of annoyance to
the President ever since be entered
the Cabinet. Mr. Cleveland's mis
takes in the line of diplomatic ap-pointments
have been in following
out the advice of the head of the
State Department. It is reported

Of the many enterprises illustrat-ing
the progressive spirit of North
Carolina, and promising great re
suits, there is no one which attracts
more attention than the Cape Pear
& Vadkin Valley Railway, whose
construction is being so vigorously
pushed by the energetic president,
Mr. Julius A. Gray, of Greensboro,
X. C. Whether it is because the
road is essentially a North Cam
lina road,running diagonally across
the State, bringing into close rela
tion sections far distant and totnlly
dificrcnt, and effecting an inter
change of every product of North
Carolina soil and waters; or whether
it is because the people arc rejoiced
to sec the approaching realisation
ot an old idea and the success ol an
enterprise that, for thirty years,
has been struggling with backsets
and perverse tate : or whether it is
because it IS the only road ill North
Carolina which is owned, officered
antl contrnlled by individual North
Carolinians, built by North Caro-lina
money, and operated for the
development solely of North Caro-lina
towns; whether it is because
