this moment como from tho Senate
thnmhcr, where arrived just in time
t" bt a witness Of the closing srrl,,s Of
the great debate on tho emancipation
bill Tho bill has passed, and the first
fatal blow to slavery in Brazil has been
struck. As entered, Silviera la Motta
was concluding ono Of his charactrrlS
tie criticisms, full of bitter PERSONAL
tiles. After Il short and sharp reply
from Naburo, the President proposed
I" pr,,rtl to the final vote, if no one
desired the floor. No one responding,
th,' formal question WAS put, whether
the Senate should now proceed to- vote,
and it WAS decided almost unanimously
in the affirmative, the Senators sigulfy-
ing their assent by rising. I noticed
that Lachnrioa, whose opposition has
been unrcmitting and powerful from
the beginning to the end, remained in
his seat. The vote was then taken on
tho final passage Of the bill in thesamc
way; and, as tho Senators rcscatcd
themselves. the President arose and
formerly announced that the bill had
passed. Immediately the galleries,
which were literally packed with spec
tators, broke out into deafening cheers,
and at tho same moment showers of
roses were discharged upon the heads
of the Senators below. As al instance
of singular contrariety, or injustice, if
You will, Il huge red rose balanced it.
self coquetishly upon the white head
of Caxias, who has not said word for

single flower came near the President
of the Council to do him homage. Tho
venerable President Of the Senate, Wis
cuntlc lc Alaste, whose tact and i'm
partially all through this exciting de-
bate has been the theme of universal
praise, in vain tried to allay the storm.
The cheers were repeated again and
again, and not until threats wero made

A Rival Of Baden Baden.
No longer can Baden Baden, Paris or
Hnmburg claim prc-eminencc over tho
Golden City in gambling matters. San
Francisco has established II superb
''feuale gambling palace" which bids
defiance to all the glorics OF the Kur-
sal, Hithcr, says an enthusiastic re-
porter, ''tlock the elite of the city's
daughters; hero they hang in breath
less suspense over the mysteries Of the
faro table, or boldly stake their gold
coins on roulette and the fascinating
rouge ct noir. A banquetins room,
IL ball room, sumptuous pariora,
and q real bar are among the
features of tho place; but the mas
ruline mind is rather puzzled to know
What the lady gamblers Gun want IL
"barbar's shop" for! However, the "L;.-
dies Social Club Room is henceforth
4 feature of San Francisco, where the
wives and daughters Of the portly mer-
chants can fight the tiger to their
hcart's content. The proprietor is not
likely to repeat one experiment that he
tried onthe open night, however, in
attempting to furnish an abundance OF
wine to his guests by means of wine
checks. He found that the ladies had
learned one little trick when they
quietly slipped us many checks as they
could obtain into their pockets for the
future benefit Of their lords and mas
tcrs.
