majestic presence, with all the simplicity of pri-
vate gentleman, with no insignia of rank but the
simple star upon the left breast he appeared more
the President of Republic than the Emperor of q
realm His face is kindly and benevolent in its ex-
preston, showing great vigor and intelligence, and
the patient interest with which he listened to the
exercises in Greek, natural history. the history of
Brazil, and mathematics, was all the illustration
that could possibly be needed to indicate his personal
interest in liberal culture for the youth of his En-
pire. 1t is not often that men of such high public
station descend to such details of administration.
At the conclusion of the exercises, the Emperor
rose and walked rapidly to the door, followed by the
Professors the twelve students, and the single in
vfted guest, and the grace with which his hand was
presented to each of these subjects for their lips to
touch, as he entered his carriage illustration

Dom Pedro ii. stands head and shoulders above all
the men who surround him. Although educated in
religious matters by Jesuit, he is man of en-
lghtened mind, of large views, and of noble char
acter, Brazil has made great progress under his
rule. young man, he has had large experience in
administration, having been twenty years on the
throne, and his people love and trust him for the
wisdom, justice, and moderation of his reign.
