special properties adapted to the cure OF

Dom Pedro AT VickShurg.
Vicksburg Tribune I

Vicksburg Tribune
About five o'elocl, yesterday afternoon,
Dom Pedro Alcantara, Emperor of Brazil,
the Empress and imperial party, arrived in
Eicksburg on the steamer Grand Republic.
As the boat neared the wharf, the Emperor,
with his secretary and two three ladies,
stood on the front guards, and watched the
crowd below and the city above. The En-
peror was easily recognized by the close re-
semblance to his photographs, displayed in
the shop windows. He wore plain suit of
black, a rather broad brimmed white SLOUGH
hat, and no trappngs Of royalty whateYeF-
reminding one somewhat of Horace Greeley,
though he wore full suit of grayish white
whiskers, and appeared to be about ffty-five
years of age The Emperor remained lean
ing OH the front guards for nearly half an
hour, holding in his hand small book and
copies OF Nicksburg papers, and talking near
ly all the while to the ladies with him. He ex-
pressed no desire to drive around the His
tQric Hill city, and the steamer remained in
port only about orty minutes, none uf the
party coming ashore. The Empress sat
quietly on the front deck, back from the
guards, with two attendants, looking around,
but saying little. She was plainly dressed
in black alpaca and looked very much like
the wife Of some Louisiana-Fre sugar
pi44ilt, TAe Emperor would anywhere be
very readily taken for Il Southern planter
