SAD REVERSE OF FoRTUNE.--A writer
in the New York Times says he was walk
ing down the Rua Dereita, the great bou-
levard of Rio de Janeiro, one evening last
January, when be was accosted by mise
rabe, ragged, and squalid-looking object,
who implored him, "for Gods sake, give
me only vinte' Qess than quarter of
cent? ito get something to eat" The
wretched man said that he had been in
Brazil four years. He had left young
wife and child in Baltimore, and had emf
grated with many others, whom he said
were then as destitute as he, hoping to re-
pair his fortunes, but instead, he had been
going rapidly down hill ever since he had
first landed on Brazilian soil. The gentle
man--for, despite his haggard look and
ragged appearance, the man bore the SEM
bance of respectability-said that ne was
a graduate of the Jefferson College Medical
School, in Philadelphia, and had at one
time a large and lucrative practice in
Richmond, Virginia. When reaching Bra
zil he had at first endeavored to practice
medicine among the American colonists OF
the San Paulo province, but the colonists
were as poor as he, aud he was finally COM
PEELED 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 last APP
piled to the city authorities for employ
ment and, though greatly debilitated by
long suffering and exposure, he accepted
work on the public highways. Under the
scorching rays of torrid sun this gentle
man trundled his barrow through the
streets of Rio, filled with sand or stone for
the PAYERS at work on the boulevards.
Finally, the doctor was taking i'll, and was
consequently obliged to relinqush even
that laborious means of subsistence, and
few days after the rencontre on the Rua
Dercita, spoken of above, he was found
dead in filthy howell in an obscure sec
ton of the city. Being a Protestant, be
was denied Christian burial by the
ecclesiastical authorities, when fortunately
a few generous-h hearted American sea cap
tains and the officers of the United States
flagship Lancaster had the poor fellow de-

A TERRIBLE SCENE.-A gentleman who
has been stopping in our midst for some
time gives an account of one Of the most
terrible scenes ever recorded in the annals
of this country. While steaming up the
placid waters of the Ocklawaha river he
witnessed conflict which made his hair
stand on end, never to be forgotten. After
rounding Sacket's Point, the stream widens
and deepens, and the water ct this bend
always looked troubled and black. Sud-
denly the steamer encountered a sea of al
ligators, foundering and splashing water
in every direction their believing shook
the foundation of the waters. The captain
says that he never heard or witnessed such
scene before and never wishes to again.
Before the speed of the little steamer could
be checked they found themselves in the
midst of these terrible monsters. To back
or go ahead was impossible. The passen-
gers endeavored to drive them away by
shouting, 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 more critical, and the crew
and passengers more and more exhausted,
and the destruction of the boat seemed in
evitable-already three colored hands had
been devoured by these terrible monsters
and several others wounded. Several
planks were torn from the hull and the
steamer was with difficulty kept from sink
ing. Just at this period source of re-
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 dis
appeared following the sea devil, or what
ever you may call him, and such fighting
never was witnessed. AT point below
where the river suddenly narrows, soor
became blocked with dead alligators and
the water was red with blood. 1t is diff.
cult to account for the number and sudden
appearance of these animals, but the
latest theory may throw some light upor
the subject. 1t is believed by many tha
there is large subterranean passage o
water between the head waters of thu
Ocklawaha, and the waters of the Okee
hobee lake, and that these monsters hav'
found their way here in great numbers
and if not soon extermnated, will obstruc
the navigation of the Ocklawaha. - PLAT
