persons acquainted with the modus oocr-

In the first place the target is compos

presenting a smooth surface twelve feet

Dom Pedro Chasing a Railway Train

The correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle relates the following in
cident of the trip with the Emperor of
Brazil Calitorniaward The Emperor re-
sumed his Efforts to stone tree at the
foot of The hill. Suddenly the conductor
shouted ''aI aboardV and the most of
the passengers hurriedIy sought the
train. The Emperor, his party, and a
few OF the passengers failed to hear the
warning, although the conductor re-
peated 1T a number of times. Alter a
few moments the conductor, who imag-
med that everybody was aboard, sig
nailed the engineer to go on, and the
train rolled of down hill at a rapid
rate, leaving the unfortunate party be-
hind.
A shout was raised, and conductor,
noticing those whom he had lett behind,
jumped of and gestieuiated wildly for
the engineer to stop. 1t happened that
| it was down grade and no steam was
on. some OF the passengers ON the
train, imagining that the engineer did
not see the conductors signal, seized
the bell-rope and tugged at it until 1t
parted and cut off connection with the
engine. The Train ran "a mile before it
was stopped, and in the meantime the
belated party struggled on at as rapid q
rate as possible along the track, the inn
perial legs stretching out maniuly. Tue
Emperor was Intensely amused at The
incident, and remarked thai it had given
IN what he long desired-a good walk.
On getting up steam The engineer backed
up the train hall u mile, and the walkers
being taken once more on board, the
long line Of cars raLtled off at lively
pace into the valley beyond.

DOM PEDRO SEES AN INDIAN.


An Interview with Pipte Chief, from Which
the Brazilian Emperor Comes or Second
Best.
A correspondent, who accompanied
Dom Pedro ii and the Braz liam imper-
lai party west from Salt Lake City, re-
lates the following incident in the San
Francisco Chonicle: At each station
where the train stopped for any length
OF time the Emperor jumped from the
car and strobe up and down the plat
form, gazing at everything there was to
be seen and returning tue stares OF lhe
little throngs with interest. At Hum
boldt Station the most amusing occur
renee OF the trip took place. Natchez,
Chief OF the Piutes, who with number
OF his followers had ridden on the train
from Winnemucca, pressed with leer-
ing grin up to the side Of the imperial
car and hailing the conductor cried out,
'Hie, you'll were you capiten? You
sayee. look him; me capiten too."
The Emperor emerged from his car, and
| observing the Piute chief with grinning
| face laughed audibly and asked hun
| what tribe he belonged to.
Natchez answered the question civilly
and smilipgly reclprocated with the
following.

trating his question with a motherly
undulatlng movement of his locked
arms. Natchez held up two OF his
fingers, and with true Indian persistence
| asked the Emperor the same quesJlon |;
"Capiten, papoose you how mucnee p'.
He was answered only by an imperial
laugh which eyinced a hearty apprecia-
| tion Of the humor OF the scene. The
Emperor continued his inquiries, most
| OF which were aimed at the numbers,
condition, and disposition Of the Plute
Nation, and ended with inquiring:
"Natchez, how many squaw you got?n
Tue Indian chief distended his eyes
and, throwing up his arms with ring
ing laugh, remarked to the beyy of by.

ION, he capiten, he bad man; he

The Emperor retired into the privacy
OF his Car amidst a roar of laughter,
above whicn the melodious roar of
Natchez was readily stinguishabie.
