Discouraging from Brazil.
. RIO DE JasE1Ro, June 2.

I beg leave, as an American citizen, to in.
sert q few lines in your columns with regard
to American emigration to this country-Bra.
zi. Much has been said with regard to the
great resources and beautiful scenery, which
is all very true but as for its fertility for ag-
riculture and general farming purposes, more
can be raised on one acre of good land in the
States than ten of the best here; and the
same proportion in regard,to labcr-one man
can accomplish more in the States than ten
here.
During my stay here, (some eight months)
out of some twenty families that have come
out here, quarter of them have died-the
general average-and most of those that were
left were sent home by charity subscriptions
of few true Americans who are here.
1 feel it my duty, as an American citizen
and lover of the American people, to ex-
pose and publish certain parties-heavy En-
glish, German, Brazilian and Jewish mer-
cLants-who have formed society or COM
pany, with large capital, and who style
themselves the Emigration Society,"" to de-
ceiye and induce Southern people to sacrifice
their property in the States to emigrate to
country represented as Paradise, which has
proved worse than hell (if there can be such
a thing) to most Of those who have Come here
as emlgrants, being cut off from all good So
ciety and morality, and are obliged to associ,
ste with :. mongrel race. Indian, negro ard
Portuguese, speaking different language
from their own.-Cor. New Orleans Picayune.

The BANKRUPT BILI.-In the Senate Mr.
Poland reported, from the Judiciary Com.
mittee, the House bankrupt bill, with several
amend ments. The third section, which gave
the appointment of registers to the judges OF
the several circuit courts upon the nomina-
ton of the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, is amended by
giving the appointments to the district judges
and striking out the nomination by the Chief
Justice.
The tenth section, which required the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, with five com
missione.s to be appointed by him, to prepare
general orders for regulating practice under
the law, is amended by requiring the Chiel
Justice and two associate Judges to make
rules.
The fourteenth section, which, in addition
to other property exempted from the OPEN.
ton of the law, exempted all property exempt
ed by the laws of the several States from at'
tachm and execution in the year 1864, is
amended by striking out the exemption under
State laws, thus ignoring the State homestead
acts, that the law may be uniform throughout
the country, as provided by t,e Constitution
The tn.rty-iuurth section; which gave credi.
tors two years to apply 10 the court to have
bapkrupt's discharge annulled for fraud, is
amended 80 that the time will be one year.
The amendment which ignores the home
stead exemption laws of the respective States
will, doubtless, give rise to some discussion
being unacceptable to tie members from the
West and the Pacific States.

The ups and downs of politicians and spec
dlators are not little remarkable. A few
months ago, Charles v. Culver was at the
head of one Of the MOTT successful banking
houses at New York (Culver, Penn & Co..,
and was establishing banks, building railroads,
founding towns, and endowing churches and
colleges in the oil regions of Pennsylvania.
He was elected to Congress from the Twen
teth Pennsylvania district, though he offered aod
the convention that nominated him $2O, ,OOO
for party purposes if they would leave him to
his business. But just then he was prosper
Gus, rising and popular, and it is in the genl-
US Of American politics to elevate such men
TO public Offices A few weeks ago the dull
ness of the oil trlde and the extent OF his
business ventures and speculations nccessta-
ted the suspension of Mr.. Culver's firm, and
now he has gone to Jail to await trial on the

office Of the Auditor General of Pennsylvania

From the Macon Journal d Messenger.

Pursuant to a call Convention of the
friends of Medical Reform met at the college
in Macon on the 18th, when on motion the
Hon. O. A. Lochrane was elected Preaident,
aud DR.. M. S. Thomson, Secretary. ~
The committee on resolutions made the
following report which was unanimously
adopted:
Your committee beg leave to report that it
is just cause for congratulation, that amid
the desolations of war the College with al
its equipments remains intact, and its board
of trustees and faculty have been spared 10

and important duties. It is therefore felt
that, in view of the successes of the past,
the requirements of the present, and the
hopes of the fature, the liberal .endowments
and privileges conferred by TIE State, rs vel!
as the many obligations due the public and
the profession, a sacred duty is imposed to
keep up our institutions Of learning, and
dlfuSe still further the blessings Of sanitiye,
in opposition to poisonous medication through.
out the world. We therefore recommend
that the College be opened this fall, at the
regular term and al the old established rates
of charges.
We further recommend that inasmuch as
many of our young men, in this and the
eurounding States have been disabled BY
wounds and wars casualties from obtaining
livelihood by physical effort, and are without
the means of attaining professions, the Board
of Trustees and Faculty Of the Reform
Medical College, do cordially invite all such
to come and enjoy the opportunity Of acqui-
ring an honorable calling free and gratu'-
tously.
On motion it was resolved that all papers
in this and the surrounding States, friendly
to the advancement of such young men, be
requested to call attention to at least that
portion of our proceedings.

IMPORTANT TO FREEDMEN.-The Scientific
american says: " The unpleasant odor pro-
duced by prespiration is frequently q source
of vexa:ion to persons who are troubled with
it. Nothing is more simple than to remove
this odor much more efectually than by the
application of such unguents and perfumes
as are in common use. 1t is only necessary
to procure some of the compound spirits Of
ammonia and place about two table, spoonfulls
in basin of water, Washing the face, hands
and arms with this leav.s the skin as clean,
sweet and fresh as one could wish. The
wash is perfectly harmless and very cheap; is
recommended on the authority of distin-
euished physician"

The Mothers First Grief.


She sits beside the cradle,
And her tears are streaming fast;
For she sees the present only,
While she thinks of all the past
Of the days SO full of gladness,
When her frst-born's answering kiss
Thrilled her soul with such rapture
That it knew no other bliss.
0 those happy, happy moments,
They but deepen her despair!
For SIZE bends above the cradle,
And her baby is not there.
There are words of comfort spoken,
And the leaden clouds of grief
Wear the smiling bow Of promise,
And she feels O sad relief;
But her uayering thoughts will wander,
Till thay settle on the scene
OF the dark and silent chamber
And of all that might have been;
For little vacant garment,
Or shining tress of hair,
Tells her heart, in tones of anguish,
That her baby is not thcre.
She sits beside the cradle,
But her tears no longer flow;
For she sees blessed vision,
And forgets all earthly woe.
Sanity eyes look down upon her,
And the voice that hushed the sea
Stills her spirit with Whisper
"Sufer them to come to me-"
Anu while her soul is lifted
On the soaring wings of prayer,
Heavens crystal gatos swing inward,
And she sees her baby there.
