(X Y. Sun.)
I'll ere is rejoicing in Brazil over Ihc of?
ficial recognition of the republic by more
and more ot the Governments of Europe.
\\ ithin (ho piisi few weeks both Germany
] nnd Denmark have given it their recogni?
tion, and diplomatic relations will now be
established with Berlin and Copenhagen.
I be liew government is loyalty supported
by all the provinces, and there is no sign
I of any disturbance ol the peace in any
quarter. The adherents ol the cx-Km
; ino, D?m Pedro, appear to have given
I up all hope of his restoration, and are
1 all awaiting the publication of his trans?
lation ol the "Arabian Nights," which is
i?> be in tin' lilies! Portuguese, ihc finan?
ciers ol Uio de Janeiro will doubtless Uc
? t (he programme of the Inter-national
Monetary Conference at Washington,
which must he favorable to Brazilian
mining interests. There ?s news in Kio
ot the American project for holding a
Pan-Uepuhlie Congress next year, and, if
it should be held, Brazil will surely be
represented in it, that is to say, in case a
fQimal ? alt for delegates is issued by (he
Washington Government. Various expe?
ditions are being organized to explore the
ervallet of the Amazon, where there
are extensive forests ot mahogany, but
where the necessary means of transporta?
tion are not yet provided. '1 here are rich
mining regions that cannot lie profitably
developed until new railroad and steam*
boat lines are established. Many Brazil?
ian i romoters look to the United States
lor capital, but it has been found that, on
account ot' ihe Argentine collapse and the
? ?ad financial condition and bad faith of
other South American States, American
capitalists are extremely cautious about
making investments which they cannot
cont i ol.
The Argentine Congress has been
striving to allay (he troubles that have
grown oui of the financial policy of the
new Government. There have been
hideous revelations in regard to the
fraudulent issue of bonds, the swindling
in public land.-, and the corrupt adminis?
tration ol (he republic's revenues. In or?
der to raise funds, Congress has passed
a law levying heavy taxes on foreign cor?
porations doing business in Argentina,
excepting those that have secured special
concessions from the Government. An
annual license fee ot' $^0,0(1(1 has been
imposed upon foreign insurance com?
panies, which must also give a guarantee
in tin- mihi of $200,00(1. Some of the
other financial expedients proposed in
Congress an' calculated to alarm invest?
ors. An especial effort is to be made to
satisfy German creditors and to carry out
the terms upon which loans were con?
tracted in Germany. The work of the
Argentine Congress, ii; establishing finan?
cial order, is yen diflicult, but the for?
tunes ol the country are dependent..upon
its success. Several important public
enterprises that had been undertaken or
projected cannot be prosecuted on account
of t he lack of funds.
The Guvcrumcul of Uruguay has been
striving to put its treasury on a solid ba?
sis. It has given notice of' its readiness
lo redeem the paper currency in gold, and
i lie work of redemption will be carried J
on during the first half of the present
v ea r.
From Venzuela all the reports refer to
the continuance of the prosperity w hich
that country has enjoyed during the pres?
ent year. There is no South American
Government (hat holds more friendly re?
lations with the United Stales than Von
/.Uela, and the increase of business be?
ta ecu the two countries is still in pro
rl he dir? et exports of Columbia to the
United States are very small. It is re
purled that during the year lo!>0 only a
single steamer from Columbia arrived al
the port ol New York. The greater part
of the commercial exchanges are with
England and other European countries,
it is believed that when the Cauca Valley
railroad, which now under contract, has
iicen built, there w ill be an increase ol
trade with the United State's. There has
been widespread mourning in Columbia
tver the death of Sonor Amaya, the re?
ligious editor and publisher, lie intro?
duced the latest inventions in printine
and lithography, and was a promoter oi
various public enterprises.
The news of the troubles in Chili
uas been given through letters sent
here and bv the despatches Irom Lon?
don.
From Peru the reports arc encouraging,
i'he prosperous condition of affairs is
dwelt upon by the papers of Lima. The
public revenues for the last year showed
an increase over (hose of previous years,
t he Government has been strengthened
In the recent revolutionary attempt,
which showed that the people were desir?
ous of sustaining the constituted authori?
ties. Senor Zogarra, the delegate to the
Monetan Conference at Washington, is
regarded as one of the ablest financiers
of Term ian experience.
The Government of Guatemala appears
to be preparing to renew hostilities with
Salvador. It has mobilized the infantry
and artillery, and has sent to Spain for
officers to organize a cavalry force, for
which it has ordered four hundred horses
from Mexico. The expenditures of the
Government during the past year were
less than its revenues. iindThe interest on
the public debf is provided for.
Several of the South and Central
American republics, according to a report
recently published in Paris, have scholars
to govern them. It appeal's by this re?
port that the Presidents ot Ecuador, Col?
umbia, Brazil, Argentina, and Nicaragua
arc graduates of French universities.
The government of Mexico has conclu?
ded a treaty of friendship and commerce
with the Government of Ecuador. The
treaty provides that all the disputes be?
tween the two countries shall be settled
by arbit ral ion. Mexico has also conclu
ded the preliminaries of a treaty of alli
iinee with Salvador.
The Teachers' Congress that has been
holding its session at the Mexican capital
took up several important quest ions bear?
ing upon the advancement of popular ed?
ucation. A new supply of 5 and 10 cents
silver coins has been issued. A large
amount of spurious money is in circula?
tion. Three silver mines near San bias
have been purchased by English capital?
ists. The New Year's day reception held
by President Diaz in the National Palace
was a grand affair. The President received
t he congratulations of many distinguished
citizens.
There is an item from Washington that
is of interest to several of the southern
republics. In Congress, a favorable re
p ir( has been made upon a bill to incorpo?
rate the Pan American Transportation
Company, which, by the terms of the bill,
is authorized to operate steamship lines
between Gulvcston tuid a number of Cen?
tral and South American ports. The cap?
ital stock is $10,000,000, with power to
increase it to$100,000,000.
The reports from nearly all the southern
republics give new evidence of the strong
desire for peace that is now prevalent
among them.
Extravagance of World's Fair ."Managers.
(WaxUlngtoii Special to Globe Democrat.)
The sub-committee which some time
ago went to Chicago to inquire into the
progress of the World's Fair has pre?
pared a report, which will probably be
submitted to the house to-morrow. The
World's Fair commissioners are prally
severely criticised for their nssqmptiou of
jurisdiction, in various matters, thus re
larding tho progress of the Fair; and
great sttess is laid upon the extravagance
of the commissioners, their expenditures
up to the preseut time amounting to
$85,000. The report gives the views of

7V Wr. 3\ E.Lipps, Clerk.
Pursuant to the above order I will proceed on the
17th ilay of January 1801, at the Clerk's office of the
County Court of Wis(> County, Virginia, to perform
the duties required of me-by -aid order. AH parties
interested are required t^> attend at -aid time and place.
19-lt C. K. Kitoom:. Commissioner.
sioners were largely intruded to be orna?
mental.and merely lor I In- purpose of show?
ing Government interest in tin- enterprise.
The committee recommends Ibe adop?
tion of a joint resolution cutting oil'
all l"urther expenditures by the commis?
sioners except the necessary expenses of
the annual meeting,and culling off all sala?
ried oflicers except President and Secretary
of tln> commission. Under the present
arrangemeul fixed up by tin- commission?
ers themselves the President's salary is
$12,000 und the Secretary's $10,000 ;i year.
This docs not include the salaries of the
Assistant Secretaries and various clerks
and stenographers. Tin- resolution ?Ines
away with these assistants and cuts down
the President's salary to $5,000 and the
Secretary's to$3,000. The resolution also
direct.- t'ne Secretary of the Treasury
not to pay tin.* expenses of tin- Board of
Lady Managers cxccpl upon the occasions
of tin- annual meeting. It cuts oil' the
salaries of nil ollicers of that board ex?
cept President and Secretary, their sala?
ries being $5,000 and $3,000 respectively,
it also provides that the Director General
shall -he paid by the local management
of the Fair, and not out of the Govern?
ment funds.
It is very probable thai this report of
the committee will not be warmly appre?
ciated by the World's ''air managers; but
in view of the extraordinary extrava?
gance al reach observed,and even rebuked
by the Secretary ol the Treasury, it is
(?till;- certain thai the committee's recom?
mendations will be appro^ ;d by the House
of Representatives and adopted by Con?

A ill iis'n-al Prot?gy.
(M?h rsb irg, Ky., Dispatc! . I
The north end of Bourbon county is
wrought up over the appearance in their
midst of a musical phenomenon in the
person of Miss Oilic Day, formerly of
Robertson county. Miss Day is an tincd
ucated girl of eighteen summers. The
only musical instruments she ever saw!
arc the violin ami accordian, until a short !
time, ago, yet she readily performed upon]
ihe piano, organ, cornet and French-harp
with the ease and skill of a master. Not
>nh can she play the instrumental part,
out will render the words ol a song upon !
uearing them read once, lier wonderful
.-. ift was first brought to notice in a siugu-|
ar manner. Miss Day was performing
anon the accordian, her favorite, when
she was asked: "Can you play t lie
? ianoY" She replied: " 1 guess so; J
never saw one." She was thereupon
taken to the instrument, when, after ex?
pressions oi' wonder and admiration at its
size and shape, she calmly seated hcrseli
iiid unhesitatingly played several difficult
[)icces. A young lady picked up Schubert's
Serenade and hummed the tune for her
and then read the words rapidly. Miss
t)ay at once played it without an error,
and accompanied the instrument with the
Song. She can play the most dillicull
pieecs upon hearing them once, and com- |
petenl critics declare that her "touch*'
surpasses any they ever noticed. The I
young lady never went to school but some
fifteen months in her life
AN mrOiiTANT TEST.
The Government to Test Chattanooga
Steel lor Making Guns.
(Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.)
Some experiments of vast importance
lo the iron region, of which Chattanooga
is the center, are soon to be undertaken
by the Secretary of War. They are for
the purpose of ascertaining if the steel
now produced in that city is suitable for
heavy ordinance. Those who are informell
in regard lo its quality believe it will be
found tobe adapted to this use. lion. 11.
Clay Evans, the representative from the
Chattanooga district, with his usual
promptness in regard Jo everything look?
ing to the development of his section, has
called this subject to the attention of Sec?
retary Procter. The latter, under au?
thority which the law gives him, will di?
rect the Chief of Ordinance to make the
necessary test of the new steel.
If it shall be found titled for modern
guns it will prove a most important tact. It
would doubtless iead to the prompt es?
tablishment of a plant tor preparing
forgings for heavy ordinance, 'this a! no
distant day might weil be followed by a
national gun foundry. The situation is
in every sense fitted fur the location ut
such works, ll is out of reach of an
enemy. It is the center of all needed
supplies, and now has water communica?
tion with the interior and the coast. 'I he
result oi the experiments about to be in?
stituted will be watched with general in?
terest.

Two Lexington llloooN.
(Louisville I'Obt.)
Here is u story told by a young man of Le;c
ingtou, Ky., and which he swears is true:
He and some friends were visiting at a coun?
try house, about two miles outside of Lexing?
ton, one evening, and in the course of the eve?
ning got outside of so much of Kentucky
spirit-, as to necessitate their spending the
night. He and anuther otic of ttic boys were
assigned to a room with two beds in it. They
I were given a caudle, but the man who carried
I it fell against the wall and put it out. So they
( undressed and both got into the same bed, one
I man, however, with his feet to the head-board.
Then each solemnly informed the other that
some one wa3 in his bed, und each advised the
. other to put the intruder out. Then came a
! tussle, and both lauded on the Hour. The
; fall somewhat sobered them and the noise
' brought some one with a light, when matters
; were straightened out.
