sad Reyerse of Fortune.

A writer in the New York Times says
he was walking down the Rua Dereita,
the great boulevard of Rio de Janeiro
one evening last January, when he was
accosted by a miserable, ragged and
squalid-looking object, who implored him
for Gods sake, give me only vinte
(less than n quarter of cent? to gel
something to eat The wretched man
said that he had been in Brazil foui
years. He had left young wife and
child in Baltimore, and had emigrated
with many others, whom he said were
then as destitute as he, hoping to repair
his fortunes, but instead, he had been
going rapidly down hill ever since he had
first landed on Brazilian soil. The gen
tleman-for, despite his haggard look
and ragged appearance, the man bore
the semblance of respectability-said
that he was a graduate of the Jefferson
College Medical School, Philadelphia,
and had at one time large and lucra-
tive practice in Richmond, Va. When
reaching Brazil he had at first endeav-
ored to practice medicine among the
American colonists of the San Paulo
province, Dub inc COlOuiSlS WtIC 40 pun
as he, and he was finally compelled to
return to Rio de Janeiro sick at heart,
and much more sick in. body.
Wandering about the dingy streets of
the lower part of the vast city for days
upon days without a place to lay his
head or scarcely a morsel to eat, he had
at last applied TO the city authorities for
employment, and, though greatly debili-
tated by long suffering and exposure, he
accepted work on the public highways.
Under the scorching rays of torrid
sun this gentleman trundled his barrow
through the streets of Rio, filed with
sand or stone for the PAYERS at work on
the boulevards. Finally the doctor was
taken i'll, and was consequently obliged
to relinquish even that laborious means
of subsistence, and few days after the
rencouter on the Rua Dereita spoken of
above, he was found dead in filthy
hovel in an obscure section Of the city.
Being Protestant, he was denied a
Christian burial by the ecclesiastical au-
thorities, when fortunately q few gener-
ous-hearted American sea captains and
the officers of the United States flagship
Lancanster had the poor fellow decently
inferred.

A MILLIONAIRE.
An Indianapolis Citizen In Posses.

From the indianapolis Sentinel.l
Henry w. Caldwell the well-known
former Indiana avenue commission mer-
chant, residing at l75 West Michigan
street, has just turned a page in the
chapter, of his history that seems more
like fiction than sober truth Late in
the seventeenth century his great-grand-
father came to this country and settled
in New York State, and purchased in
what is now the heart of the city of New
York eight acres of land, upon which he
built mill. On the occupancy of that
city he was driven out and the mill
taken possession Of by the British SOL
dery. Afterwards he leased the proper
ty and moved into New Jersey. This
real estate since that time has been
transferred time and again, but always
by lease, in as much as clear title
could not be given. Mr.. C.'s ancestors
seem to have neglected their interest,
and in course Of time to have forgotten
all about it. Some three years since the
indianapolis Caldwell discovered clue
that finally lead to the establish
ment of his claims as one Of the legal
heirs to that property. With his Gus
tomary tact and perseverance, he set to
work to gather up what evidence was
necessary and so successful was the
search that last week he started for
New York city with the material needful
to make his title good Upon arrival
there he laid his claims before some
influential lawyers, and through
them proposition was made to
the holders Of this estate-Vanderbil
one of the Astors, and others--to give
them quit-claim to his interest for one
million of dollars. This proposition
was taken under advisement by them,
and Mr.. Caldwell thereupon started for
home. BY the time he arrived at Nj
agara Falls, telegram was received
here by his wife from the New York par
ties, accepting the terms proposed This
was forwarded to Mr.. Caldwell, who re-
turned to New York, made over a quit
claim, received the money, and now holds
certificates of deposit for 100000 in
some of the national banks of that city.
There are still other heirs to this prop
perty that these New York men will
have to "see" before they can have a
DtTltCb llilCs lH'g Oiig IhAShhoNb -his
C.s interest. This gentleman, three
years ago, requested these heirs to unite
with him and make up pony purse"
for the prosecution of their claims
They refused, believing it useless, and
therefore Mr.. Caldwell has all the more
credit for the pertinacity with which he
followed up an undertaking that at first
looked almost hopeless.
Most certainly there is happy family
on West Michigan street. Mr.. G. is the
son-in.law of Capt. North, having mar
ried years since his only daughter Both
husband and wife possess large hearts
and benevolent minds, and doubtless
will use this great gift which hes come
to them in manner beneficial to them
selves and to mankind. Mr. Caldwell is
a prominent member of the Seventh
Presbyterian Church, corner of Black
ford and Michigan streets, and has al
ways borne the reputation of a thorough
Christian

interesting as it now is. Everything
has conspired to make it so--the state
of things across the channel has driven
all the French noblesse hither; the EN-
peror and Empress are close at hand
all the French dramatic, musical and
art stars are here; there is an
unusual number of eminent persons
from other continental countries here;
the Queen comes up to town much
more frequently than usual; the In
ternational Exhibition turns out to
be unexpectedly good; the two grand
opera houses and twenty-three theaters
are in full blast, and the season is at
its hight, everybody who is anybody
having arrived from the country Such
is the state Of things, in a word, that
should you 20 into Regent street or Hyde
Park at four o'clock in the afternoon
and shy brick at the first person you
met, the chances are ten to one that you
would hit an earl, q countess, a prince
or a prima donna. This is all very de-
lightful and when | add that at the
theater called Court of Common Pleas
a new and intensely romantic and inter
esting drama is now being performed,
the denouement Of which is as yet un-
known, you viii see that the cup of our
delights is full to overaowing.

MEMPHIS, TENN. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE T. 1871

to still smaller triaes, the evening pipe,
the merry hum of tie tea-kettle, and the
blazing fire after a battle with the rough
weather outside--these, and such little
things as these, involve more happiness
and solace than the great triumphs and
success that await us in the world. The
world $ triumphs and successes soon clog
us, so that we demand greater victories
to-day than we were satisfied with yester-
day. But these little trihes, if we are
wise enough to be content with them,
grow dearer as they grow familiar, and
become perennial fountains of joy and
solace. Let us take care Of the little
things of life, that contain so much of
happiness or misery, and the great things
may be left to take care of themselves.

A Mistake.

1t is q mistake to suppose that great
wealth brings happiness, although too
many of us are in the habit of imagin-
ing that such is the case. 1t was once
said by a millionaire, who had made his
wealth by his own efforts, that the first
dollar he made gave more delight than
the thousands he gathered aferward.
He learned to despise so small thing
as a dollar, and in doing so forfeited all
the JOY that its possession gave him. In
all our relations, the value of small
things is constantly suggested to US.
The sum of happiness is made up of
trihes. The fragrance Of flower will
sometimes steal over our depressed and
despondent spirits like golden memory,
and fill us with an undefnable peace
that dispatches all the darkness from our
souls. A CHEEKY word, an endearment or
caress, OF a voice of encouragement will
sometimes awaken our half-dead hearts
into new life, and change the sullen
and somber aspect Of all things around
us into brightness and beauty. The
familiar hearts, the easy chair, the open
window, the well-worn book, the kiss Of
children, the voice and smile Of a loved
wife, the family board, the chance visits
of an esteemed friend, or to come down

A gentleman who has been stopping
in our midst for sometime gives an ac-
count Of one of the most terrible scenes
ever recorded in the annals of this coun-
try. While steaming up the placid
waters of the Ocklawaha river he wit
messed a conflict which made his hair
stand on end, never to be forgotten.
After rounding Sacket's Point the stream
widens and deepens, and the waters at
this bend always look troubled and
black. Suddenly the steamer encoun-
tered a sea of alligators, floundering and
splashing water in every direction; their
believing shook the foundation of the
waters. The captain says that he never
heard or witnessed such a scene before
and never wishes to again. Before the
checked they found themselves in the
midst of these terrible monsters. To
back or 90 ahead was impossible. The
passengers endeavored to drive them
away by shooting, and the hands on
board beat them with hand. spikes, yet
they seemed more determined to obstruct
the passage of the boat. The situation
every moment became critical; and the
crew and passengers more and more eX-
hausted, and the destruction Of the boat
seemed nevitable-already three colored
hands had been deyoured by these
terrible monsters and several others
wounded. Several planks were torn
from the hull, and the steamer was with
difficulty kept from sinking. just at
this period a source of relief came. A
huge serpent appeared making his way
from the lakes, the same, it is supposed,
that was seen at Devils Elbow last
fall. The alligators soon disappeared,
following the sea devil, or whatever you
may call him, and such fighting never
was witnessed. AT point below where
the river suddenly narrows, soon became
entirely blocked with dead alligators,
and the water was red with blood. 1t is
difficult to account for the number and
sudden appearance of these animals,
but the latest theory may throw some
light upon the subject 1t is believed
by many that there Is a large subterra-
mean passage of water between the head
waters of the 0cklawaha and the waters
of the Okeehobee lake, and that these
monsters have found their way here in
great numbers, and if not soon extermi
mated will obstruct the navigation of the
Ocklawaha.-Pilatka (FlOrida) Her

Ruloif seems to have had a grim no
ton Of a joke. A few hours before his
execution, it seems, he handed sealed
envelope to the district attorney, with
instructions not to open it until he tRu-
loff) was buried. The letter has been
opened. 1t proves to have been written
in Greek. and so far has bafiled the skill
of all Greek scholars at Interpretation.
II consists of about ITO Greek words.
This letter is supposed to be Of vast i'm
portance. Heavy bids have already
been made for it, but it has been placed
in the bank with his six hundred pages
of manuscript to await the result Of the
claims of his creditors. Mr.. Becker, his
counsel, will doubtless become the owner
of all this scientific literature. 1t is
possible to fancy the felon peering out
from the "other world at the doctors
mentally wrestling with the puzzle he
has left them.
