TUTIoNs AND MISUNDERSTANDING VISITORS
AND AN ADDRESS OF wELCoME-THE JOURNEY
TO THE WEST BEGUN.
The Brazilian Emperor left this city for San Fran
cisco last evening, after fatiguing day, in which,
as on Sunday, he had displayed great energy and
activity in inspecting numerous objects of interest
in short time, and an Unsuitable thirst for informa
tion At an early hour he was at the Hoboken docks
watching the loading of European steamers. After
his return to the hotel he received several
callers, and then, with Gov. Tilden, Mayor Wick
ham, and Others, took rapid survey of educational
methods in New-York by visiting the Normal Col
lege and grammar, primary, and training schools.
ST. Luke's Hospital and Bellevue Hospital were also
examined by the Emperor with interest. In the
afternoon he received q committee representing
New-York citizens, and ex-Cov. Dix made short
address of welcome. to which the Emperor replied
very briefly. In the evening he began his journey
to the West.
