New YORK, July Ia, 1876
Dom Pedro has hidden us farewell. He
has improved his American trip with re-
markable good sense, and visited only such
places as might assist his plans of home
improvement. Carrying out this scheme,
be avoided display as much as possible,
and was simply close observer, who was
determined to learn the value of American
institutions. Nov that he is gone | may
mention the fact that your correspondent
was one of a group which attended his
majesty during his visit to one of our
leading charities ] refer to the deaf and
dumb asylum at Fort Washington, and
may add that although it is ten miles from
his hotel, he reached the spot before eight
o'clock in the morning. He drove up in
plain carriage, and the entire party con-
sisted of coachman, footman and a private
secretary, the latter slouchily dressed and
of very common appearance. The dom
gave us his hand with silent dignity. He
may be briefly described as nearly six feet
high, with broad shoulders, blonde hair
turning to gray gray beard and mustache.

sensible, but not acute, expression. He
wore black felt hat, and in fact his entire
dress was of that color, including black
silk cravat, SO tina, he looked like any res
pectable citizen. He showed a business
method, cutting short all allusion to what
was supertluous, and telling plainly what
he desired to see, The party went through
the workshops rapidly, and the emperor,
though he said little, evidently used his full
power of observation.
NOT TO Re CHAFFED Al.
While 10 the chapel some OF the scholar.
wrote GA the blackboard concerning Brazil,
which really was like carrying Goals to
Newcastle. The emperor would not he
chaffed at by Brazilian matters, of which
he had enough home. He then abruptly
said, "Let them write briefly about famil-
lar things" When climbing the stairs he
expressed surprise that so tall building
should have been erected where land was
| so abundant, but he seemed satisfied with
the reply that 1t cost much less to build
high than broad. AT the conclusion of the
visit the dom shook hands, and as he drove

manner. Any one noticing his conduct
would pronounce him a very sensible man,
and he will no doubt return to his country
much instructed in the more important
matters of government. 1t may be added
that this is the second institution Of the
kind which he has visited, the first being in
| Washington. II thus appears that he is
alive to the demands of humanity.
CUSTER.
1t is said by TheIsiles (in "Troilus and
Cressida'O THAI with TOO much blood and
too lille brain one may run mad. This
idea is recalled by the sad fate of the late
unfortunate general, and yet just such an
element has its place in war; The ques-
ton seems TO be to know what is its place ?
Evidently such occasions are rare, and Gus
| ter's mistake was to make them the rule of
his life. Shakespeare tells us in a very ex-
pIessiye line that
hing5 out OF hope are comprised Oft with
Ventur!ng,'
Looking at other instances Of daring it
may be raid that the plan of Sherman
| grand march 10 the sea, had it failed, would
| have been condemned. 1t certainly in
volved unusual risks. Gen. Zagony' s
charge on the rebel, at Springfield, Mis-
souri,, during the early part OF the rebel
lion, is an illustration of what can be ac-
complished by bold and desperate at
tempt. Shakespeare seems to have favored
this bold and dashlng method of warfare.

"Adyance your standard, draw your willing
swords;
For me the ransom of my bold attempt,
| Shall be this cold corpse on the earths cold
| face"
| This seems to have been Clusters motto.
He seems to have viewed war as is illustra-
ted by the adventures and perils of for
lorn hope. His previous success had en-
Outraged his ardor, and he could adopt the
still more expressive words which Shak-
speare puts into the mouth of York

When as the enemy had been as ten to one.

The answer to this question was given in
death and defeat, but he fell as he lived,

MASTER HUMPHREYS CLOCK.
time piece to which Dickens owes the sug-
gestion of his best story, is now in the pos
session of Isaac II. Bailey. OF such an
acquisition as this any one may be proud.
Mr.. Bailey is man of varied accomplish
ments, being merchant, politician and a
newspaper correspondent. He is now the
chief man in the Swamp Cor leather dis
tric), where he has been in trade for thirty
years. The Swamp never has got into the
lists of fame, but it is now becoming more
generally known, since it has produced
two such men as Isaac ii. Bailey and Jay
Gould. Our merchants are becoming more
literary than in former times. To Mr..
Bailey may be added the names of William
f. Dodge, Il. ID. Morgan and others, who
have reached distinction. Mr. Bailey is in
business which requires great capital and
a slow method of operation, but the profits
have generally been large, and the Swamp
has been reckoned one of the richest spots,
for its size, in this city.
CITY CROWDS.
ave do not miss them,' Is the remark
often made concerning the great rush to
the country. The number of fashlonables
and others who seek the watering places il
so small compared with the aggregate mass
that they are not missed. The entire pop
ulation of the Fifth avenue is not more
than 1000, and you can find more thar
that number in one square of some Other
parts. You may still see crowds at The
market, crowds at the ferries and crowds
in Broadway. The street cars are crowd
ed, and so are the railway depots. The
Central Park is crowded on Sabbaths
New York is full of people, suffering
and piliable class, whose condition admits
of little Improvement. They pay the in
eviable penalty of metropolitan life.
