himself dissatisfied not only with our city but other
things in general. Nov, Mr.. Editor, do not say
that your correspondent has made this statement in

my opinion, his communication is erroneous While
the Prince was In this city he was received and
treated in manner becoming his birth and position
He was on oil occasions profuse in complimentary
remarks on city and its public institutions, aud
admrer OF the perseverance and integrity OF its
Inhabitants. These expressions, judging from the
general character of tie Prince am inclined to be-

consider him man Of honor, who would not say

The Deaths of american Consuls-1Hsir Effects.
1t has been but a few months since the death Of
G. G. Salinas, ex-AmericAn Consul was announced.
and we have now the painful task to advise you OF
the death Of his successor, James Wright Gordon Of
Marshall, Michigan, yesterday afternoon. He had
been suffering for some years with bronchitis, and
met with severe fall some day, ago. which agra
waited his disease sand he sunk away gradually, Bear
ing his trials with Christian fortitude and resgna
ton, until death stole over him like sweet sleep.
He had every attention paid him which could be
Ahown by circle Of kind friends, and was quite
conscious almost to the moment Of his death. He
will be buried to Day in the British cemetery. Mr..
Llley, Of Cincinnati. the successor to Mr.. Gordon,
arrived here on the I'd inst via Liverpool, and was
quite comfort to the deceased I: his ,sst asvs.
To avoid the question whether the American Con.
sui or the Brazilian authorities shall take charge Of
the effects OF American cit zens dying here, the
friends OF Mr.. Gordon induced him to make will,
thus placing his effects in the hands of executors,
and out of the reach Of the Brazilian government.
ont of whose hands it ia no easy matter to ret the
property Of deceased foreigners whose heirs do not
reside here. This is question which the Brazil
ian and American governments do not agree, and it
Ii strange they cannot come TO some UNDERSTANDING
There Is no nevs Of interest stirring here ut pre-
sent. The weather is rather warm, but not more 80
than usual at this season. We are, however, blessed
with good health and peace but it is almost moral
certainty that shall ere long have the usual an
nua visit Of the fever in our port the worst months
tor which are January, February, and March.
