Her majesty wears light and graceful dadem and
rich mantle. The prince has also mantle, and his
Dress in which "reminiscences Of the antique are dis
ccrnible, displays his figure to great advantage The
position Of the two figures readily tells the tale of deep
affection and present earthly separation. They stand
side by side her majesty looking up at her husband

BETTER THAN ArERAGE.-The following excellent
parody upon Indian agent oratory is from corre-
spondent of the Missouri Democrat The virtues OF
lager beer and Limberg are properly extolled:
Talk of Father Drgy.-My Red Children have
come to hold a pow-wow with you, and to tell You
something that will do you good You have been
raised from your cradles my children upon fire water,
which has made you savage and boodthfsty we
come to give you that has no fire in it-Water
that will not inebrate, and will not arouse the eFi
spirit in your hearts. You can drink whole lake OF
this water and feel none tic worse for it, the con
trary, it will make you fat and good naured 1t will
also give employment 70 your sauaws instead O.
packing lodge they will be kept busy jerking beer and
raising children. Your warriors will grow very big
the smallest of them will be thick around the waist
as buffalo BULL aud your bellies will be as large as
Pixies Peak. You will all be great and happy, and
have nothing to do but lie in the shade and drink la
ger beer Your Great Father lit Washington will send
the beer on the back Of the iron horse and you will
cool it with the SHOWS of the Rocky Mountains You
will no longer indulge in barbarons war dances, wild
horse dances dog feasts, and the like, but all your
dances will be hops. When you get so fat that you
can dance no more then you will learn to play the
opheceide, the trombone the base fiddle and other
low toned Instruments You will have no further use
for hunting grounds and all this beautiful prairie
country over which the buffalo now roams and the
prairie dog hunts his hole will be given up to the
whites who will convert it into hop garden to make
lager beer for the red brethren. Now, my children
be good and you will be happy; drink much beer and
you will be much civilised After while you will be
lar enough advanced in civsaton to be allowed to
eat sour krout; then speck will be administered to
you and finally Limberg cheese, which belongs to the
highest round in the ladder Of ciyisaton. That will
be the Indians millennium; then the Newfoundland
dog and the fawn will lie down together and little
pappoose will lead them.

EMANCIPATION IN BRAzIL.-The scheme for iberat-
ing the slaves in Brazil does not include anything like
instantaneous and general emancipation. Most of
those now held in slavery will never be free. The
children hereafter born Of persons held in slavery
will remain iii sotto apprenticeship until twenty
years DID, when they will obtain their freedom When
the year 1900 arrives slavery in Brazil is to cease.
AS the Of cn,ancpaionf or those living is de-
ferred for whole generation, the decree Of the gov
eminent will chiefly benefit the millions yet to be-
and will not prove very irksomc to the present slave
holders Its also proposed to instttte fund to be
annually appropriated to the manumission of fixed
number Of slaves, $50 reduce the number to be
set free by the State, when the time arrives for ex-
tingushng the last remnansiof slavery in the empire.
This plan is very much like that proposed by Presi-
dent Lincoln the United States Congress before the
issuance of the emancipation proclamation.
