They imve had another revolution In
South A.i.i ricu. A fow years ago thin
would not have passed for news, but since
J the Chili-Peruvian war things have been
unusually quiet in that end of the conti-
nent , and thi| last ^setting was in Vene-
zuela, when- Guztfmn Blanco long rnaiu-
tained the "order ui Waisaw." Now he
j ia an exile, and the people are delighted,
; but other politicians are angry because
he got away with the money. The pe-
culiar nature of his reigr, can only be
I understood by reviewing the previous
history of Venezuela.

Columbus touched its coasts in 1408,
Ojeda and Vespucci explored it in 1409,
the Spaniards began to found settle-
ments there in 1520. and at the begin-
ning of this century it was an extremely
rich and valuable colony. In 1809-19
it won independence, as did most of
Spanish America, Gen. Simon Bolivar
being the national hero. In 1821 a con-
stitution was adopted and a republic set
up. Iu 1829-30 New Granada and Ecua-
dor seceded and soon after the civil
troubles began, and from 1846 to 1869
there was a general in armed opposition
to the president nearly all the time. In
the latter year the renowned Antor.io
Guzman Blanco got control, and induced
the congress to declare him dictator
until j>eace could be restored and a new
constitution adopted. His iirst meas-
ures were so good and his control so
energetic that he was hailed as the
"saviour of the country," and was
elected president under the new consti-
tution.
Then he displayed an ability much like
that of Brigham Young—a mingling of
audacity, cunning, flattery and an ap-
pearance of yielding onlv to gain his
ends by indirection. Under the consti-
tution the president may not succeed
himself in office, may not have two con-
secutive terms, but is eligible for re-elec-
tion after an interval. Guzman Blanco
has therefore tilled the presidential chair
every alternate term during the last nine-
teen years, ami between times has placed
in power a duinmv or mask, who was
entirely subject to his will.
Miss Brainy (from Boston; has been in-
vited by Cousin Dick (from Chicago) to
dine with him.
Cousin Dick (apologetically between
mouthfuls)—Since I have been in the
pork business I have had to hustle like
the mischief at my meals.
Miss Brainy (haughtily)—I presume
your connection with the business is
most active before the animals are
slaughtered.

Nellie, said the mother to her 4-year-
old little one, who was sitting quietly in
a distant corner of the room, "what are
you doing?"
"Drawing a picture on mv slate," re-
plied NelJie.
'A picture," rejoined the mother,
glancing over her shoulder. "Yes, and
a pretty one. What is it?'
"It's my kitty," said Nellie.
"But it looks more lib a tree."
"Yes, I made it so that my left hand
wouldn't know what tny right done.
And I guess it don't, do you?"—Bing-

He seemed to regard the republic,
which covers 431,GOD square miles and
contains some 8,000.000 people, as hia
ptivate estate, collected and disbursed
the revenues at his own sweet will, and
punished delinquent collectors or other
misdemeanants as arbitrarily as anv
overseer would deal with servile thieves.
As he grew more arbitrary his opponents
naturally grew more reliellious, and that
in turn enraged him till he surrounded
himself with soldiers, controlled the
elections ut will, and, in short, main-
tamed an absolute despotism.
Two years ago he went to Paris, where
his daughter is the wife of the Duke de
MorayJeaviog as "his president" one
Dr. Lojas-Paul. In Europe he undertook
to settle all the affairs of Venezuela,
made treaties, agreed to pay indemni-
ties, bought an immense ironclad and is-
sued drafts upon the home government
for millions. But Presideut Bojas-Paul
showed some independence, the cougress
sustained him and then the |>eOplo rose
in wild revolt against all the creatures
of Gueman Blanco. The Wsalts are do-
scribed'as wondtt-ful Thb'press ia fit^

all but Guzman Blanco, and scores of
orators are haranguing the enthusiastic

gnashing his teeth and threatening in-
vasion and revenge.
Venezuela is one of the most fertile re-
gions on the globe. The lower val-
ley« produce lavishly all the crops of
the tropic, the plateaux (hose of the
warm temperate regions and the high-
land* abound In moat valuable timbers.
Wife (who is a graduate of a cooking
school)—I have just made some nice bis-
[ cuits. dear. Won't you try one with
your tea?
• Sick Husband (resignedly)—Certainly,
darling; and. by the way, on your way
I to the kitchen you might telephone for

Somebody remarked in the dry Lewis-
ton barber s shop that a young man had
been engaged as a member of a baseball
nine at a salary of $30 a month.
"Couldn't he earn more money hay-
ing; asked the man in the chair.
"Oh well," said the dry barber, with a
face as sober as a broadcloth casket, "if
he was bavin', be d have to work fore-
noons. —Lewiston Journal.

Why Congmtulatluua Were Delayed.
We dt»ire to convey our most humble
apologia* to the esteemed maharajah of
Buigapare for what may eeera to him
like intromission of the international
amenities on our part. Bat the fact ia,
we had not had time to congratulate
him on his forth-sixth marriage when
the news of his forty-seventh came to
us, and we didn't like to scud congratu-
lations done up in bunches, like rad-
ishes. lest it might seem our heart was
not in them. If the maharajah will let
up on marrying for a few moments and
give us a chance to catch up, we will trv
very hard in the future not to fall behind
to these pleasant little conventional du-
tiaa.—Washington Pott
