II was, perhaps in an inspiration OF that
love which all Brazalians feel for their native
land and all its belongings, even for that inky

mandioca sawdust, which fills the absent native
mind with ineXpressibe yearnings and the present
native stomaclls into those salient curves, which

the noble steamship Boync Joined heart and hand
In presenting an address TO the Emperor and were
heard on the night Of the 30th OF March, when of
the harbOr of Rio Janero, to assert in the most de-
cisiyc manner that

He was jolly good fellow,
Which none OF us will deny.
In Rio everyone was agog on Saturday, when the
telegraph station on the CASTILLO hill slgnaned to
the citizens that the Boyne was Off Cape Ffo at
half past two that afternoon and might be In that
evening. Immediately there was hustle ana hustle

camps, heated and abusive, were dashing here and
there and everywhere with furious haste and fran
Tic gestculations, as the painting National Guard
and soldiery hurried and scurred in very S-ish
files TO form two lines from the Arsenal of Marine to
the imperial chapel. The imperial steam yacht took
