Rnrn. Brazil.

A Memphian writing from Para, Bra.
zil says: II have been ten days here,
and such another village does not exist
under 1.-THE armament, except in Brazil.
We had devilish rough passage from
New York to St. Thomas, thence to the
Amazon river was better; l landed on
the eighth Of February at Para, one hun
bred miles up the Amazon, and was
greeted with an Internal jargon Of Por-
tuguese, Spanish, French and Negro
Indian. The thermometer ranges from
eighty to one hundred and FIVE degrees
in the shade all the year round. 1t is now
the beginning of winter, or more properly
the rainy season, and the Thermometer
stands at $50. No use for winter over
coats in that region. Many Of the ma
tives, and almost all the laborers, 60
clad in the garment provided for them
by Providence when they were born.
There are but few Americans living here,
and they are much pleased with the
climate; butsociety, especially for ladies,
is a mere nothing, The better class of
Brazilians are exclusive, proud, poor
and ignorant. The principal business
here is rubber, which trade is wholly in
the hands OF foreigners. | have spent
my time very pleasantly SO far. The
grub at Para is quite good and topped off
with excellent fruit that here is always
in season. Paro has about $4,000 in
habitants, and the largest buildings in
town are churches aud theaters. The
latter draw by long odds, the largest
crowds on Sunday nights. Sunday is a
holiday ushered in with sky-rockets and
popping crackers, afterwards a parade
Of soldiers and general hilarity. The
stores are all open and business goes on
as usual. We will soon start on the
survey Of the MADEIRA and Mamore rail
road around the rapids of the Madeira
river, and opening up the commerce Of
Bolivia to the Amazon river. The road
will be l53 miles in length, narrow
guage, and is to be finished within two
years, etc.

The practice of carrying concealed
deadly weapons, so common in Mem.
phis, does not meet with much favor in
Kentucky, as the following extracts
from the press of that State will show
clearly:
Much has been said and written with
regard to the practice of carrying con
cealed deadly weapons, and the new
statutes of Kentucky infict very heavy
penalties against those who violate the
law in this particular, but notwithstand,
ing we have to chronicle weekly terrible
tragedies as the result of this criminal
habit. Is there no way to suppress it?
Possibly, if the officers of the law gem
orally would initiate the example set by
Hon. w. K. Keller, of Harrodsburg,
during the recent trial of the Thomp.
sons, in which he gave the order to
search every man for concealed weapons
who should come into his court room,
we should have fewer murders in Ken
lucky. Let the brave words of Judge
Keller be taken up in every court of
justice: There must commence a re-
form somewhere, and it might. as we'll
commence here as anywhere else
DaRriIle Advocate.
The practice of carrying concealed
deadly weapons is unlawful, and ought
to be a penitentiary offense. There is
no necessity under heaven for any man
to carry them. 1t ought, and the com
mon law would bear them out to be the
practice of our circuit judges--as it is
in some States-in cases of murder,
where the weapon has been drawn from
the person, to instruct the Jury that the
possession of the weapon, and the habit
OF carrying it, constitute prima facia
evidence of malice. Murder must have
a home in the heart Of any man who
converts his person into walking arse
nal. His arming himself is declara-
'tion of war against the whole human
family. 1t would be moral impossi-
bility for such a man to slay his fellow
in sudden heat and passion. He arms
himself for the purpose Of taking hu-
man life whenever the opportunity pre-
sents ITSELF No other meaning can be
legitimately attached to the habit.
The truth is, we deal far too eniently
Win those VINO naDltually wear arms
upon their persons. While the law pro-
tects the person of the citizen from I'M
lawful search, yet, when an officer has
grounds for belief that a man has upon
his person that which the law prohibits
him from carrying, he is wholly JUST
fed and upheld by the law in instituting
a search whenever and wherever an OPP
portunity may present itself. Else the
person would become place of sane
tuary," and the burglar, the counter
feiter, the confederate of pick-pockets,
the murderer, could walk the world I'M
scathed of justice simply because they
conceal upon their persons base coin,
burglarious instruments, stolen property
and the weapons of assassination. NJ

Midnight stntion-uous, sceues.


By order of the Police Board Captain
Patrick Walsh and his band Of col.
larers have been raiding the gilded
palaces of sin during the past and pres
ent week. At midnight, when all good
citizens are asleep except policemen
and newspaper reporters, the Captain
knocks with the butt end of his horse
pistol on the portals of some palace
The knock is the open sesame which
causes doors to fly open and bolts to
shove aside. In few seconds Walsh
and his gang 60 all over the house
and arrest both male and female
inmates. Even those who are lost in
tn, arms of Morpheus are rudely
walked up and told to get up and dress
and come along to the station house. Z"
Each policeman seizes upon his prey, as
did the Romans upon the Sabine virgins
1--WE know Captain Walsh never heard
or read of this latter raid, Soon the
gang of galley slaves are mustered on
the sidewalk, and the cavalcade, headed
by the noble Captain, marches on to the
Station-house, the Captain whistling the
wellknown airs, The girl left behind
me, and All quiet along the Bayou
Gayoso tonight" Half dressed, SILVER
ing women we're driven through the
streets at IL m. last night. When the
station house was reached Uncle Jim
TORY acted as doorkeeper and kept out
the base curiosity seekers. Inside, our
reporter found the reportorial corps Of
the Avalanche, Appeal and Register. 1t
was announced to the shivering women
as they stood around the stove that for
feits would be taken. There was rust
ling of silk dresses and drawing
forth of rolls of greenbacks from places
of concealment. Each Magdalen had
to give her name and age, birthplace
and occupation, and then twenty-five
dollars was assessed as the forfeit of the
matrons and ten dollars for each of the
vestals. They were then discharged,
but the religious Captain of Police failed
to say to them as they marched out,
Go thou and sin no more" Had he
done SO, and had the vestals taken his
advice, this source of revenue to the
treasury would have been cut off. 1t is
impossible for the humane man to wit
ness this sad and disgusting sight with
out wishing that the Police Board would
order that raids on the unfortunate
Magdalens should be made in the day
time. The coarse jests and bandinage
carried on between the police and the
Magdalens may be amusing, yet still it
is disgusting. o Revenuel what offenses
are committed in thy name.

ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEATER. = Mrs. Chanfrau
made her appearance at the theater last
evening in sensational play entitled
Woman Wrong. The play is founded on
the law with reference to the custody of
minor children as between the father
and mother. 1t is full of good scenes
and dramatic situations, and the dia-
logues are well sustained. The role
of the heroine is sustained admirably by
Mrs. Chanfrau, as are all the womanly
characters in which she appears. There
is simple dignity in her bearing that is
exceedingly winning, and naturalness
characterizes every effort she puts forth.
In the more impassioned scene she is
necessarily at her best with the audi
ence, but she is the artistic throughout.
She is called upon to give dramatic in
depreciation to the strong workings of
the maternal sentiment under a combi-
nation of most trying circumstances,
and it is enough to say that she succeeds
to the life. The Memphis Theater com
pany gave good support. There were
several incongruities apparent in cos
tuning and scenery, and in many scenes
the prompter was called into requisition.
Tonight the drama will be repeated and
will run more easily, as the members Of
the company will be better up in their
parts.
WIRES OPERA House. = Manager
White has brought out twenty splendid
stars, who appear nightly at his Jeffer-
son street Opera House. The pro-
gramme of entertainment consists of
vocal and instrumental music, fancy
and clog dancing, specially acts, com
edies, etc. Strangers visiting the city
will find Whites Opera House pleas
ant place to while away few hours.
