PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-The Emperor OF
Brazil Is quite popular among the Centennial
people. He goes everywhere with great free

tention to anybody, aud ordinarily one would
not suppose them any way connected with him.
They keep sharp, quiet watch, however, and OF
course n there we're any kind OF trouble they
would he on hand The sta ement OF the Phil
adelphia papers that Dom Pedro goes around In
old clothes Is wholly untrue. He simply wears
plain gentlemans garments, and the only DIS
tinguisnine feature OF his wear is short
chain with what seems to be a large locket at
taoned. He must DO over six feet In height,
and he probably weighs In the neiehb 'rbood Of
30 pounds. THIS minRling among the people
makes him esteemed, and his constant observa-
ton OF common things, especially such as
relate to mechanical and labor-s wing devices,
| aus TO the conclusion that he has large fund
OF practical common sense.
Yesterday he gave an exhibition OF human
n ture which was quite pleasing IL was during
the celebration at Ir dependence II III, and on
the occasion Of Gilmores band performing the
Brazilian ode, written by tive poet. Tue
music seemed to oe such that the higher notes
or tones suited for open-air perform noes were
not called out, anu AZ a consequence the audi
ence, mum oering about 5000, could he r but
little. ne Emperor immedlatey became un-
easy; he rose from his seat aud stepped on inc
platform. With hts hand to his ear. anu though
Vice-Pr ,sident Ferry unered him mis- own seat,
he continued to stand, listening In vain for
louder sounds. When for "a short time the mu-
sic was heard more distinctly, his face bright
ehed, out on the whole he was evidently disap-
pointed.
Every one was i'm pressed with the thought
that this Emperor had taken pride In the at
tempt u contribute something worthy to the
celebration, us much IA " he were one OF us.
Tue celebration at Independence Hall was a
damage to tn kxhioitiOn so far as money

less Yesterday than IL has been for some time.
