Show A Hero. Of all the wretchedly nnderpaid American consuls we think the case of our representative at Santos, Brazil, is the worst. This unfortunate individual a Maine man receives the munificent salary of $1,500 a year. His expenses ore ?3,000 a year. He has buried his vice consul, has had yellow fever twice himself, resigns periodically, but still 6ticks pluckily to his post, waiting for his successor to be appointed and, what is more important, to accept the appointment. ap-pointment. This consul deserves well of his country. Bath Times. |
