This Emperor Pedro is a tremendous

: tn an energy hat reminds us OF an.
other Emperor Peter whom the Russians
call the Great. He had scarcely landed
in New York and seen the inevitable
misses at the normal school, before he
scooted to San Francisco. He humbled
California by seeing the Pacific coast in
i've days, finding time, sven in that brief
space, to hunt up an Italian mechanic
and inventor, Andre Cavilli, who has
long been trying to perfect a machine
for pegging boot-soles with screws.
Dom Pedro had met this fellow some
where in Europe, and pursued him to
his Dizzy work shop in San Francisco,
where the machine is now in successful
operation. He visited all the important
machine shops in the city, but declared
that Cayillis was the most ingenious bit
of mechanism he had ever seen, and in
vited him to take out a patent in Brazil,
where the Emperor wishes to establish
boot and shoe manufacture. From San
Francisco he flew east to Pittsburg.
where the iron industries were hastily
examined he thought they compared
well with those of Europe, but suffered
at the glass works, and frankly told the
warden Of the penitentiary ct Allegheny
City that it was inferior TO the one at
Rio Janeiro, especially in the provision
for schooling the inmates. A workshop
which cost $4,000 struck him as ex;ray.

From Pittsburg, after a dash ut the oil
regions, he dropped down on Washing
ton, just before meetin' time, Sunday
morning, and found not even q carriage
in waiting. The Brazilian ministsr was
caught mapping. A public hack took
him and his suite to the Arlington, and,
after a breakfast and mass at St. Mat
thew's, he inquired what he could see on
that day, and if there was opera in she
evening. He speedily compromised With
our P~uritanism finally by calling for the
sergesnt-at arms and being taken over
the capitol. He admired its grand pro-
portions, THE finest building he ever
saw" aud turned up his nose at some of
the feeble details in the art line. Yer

that Mr.. Meade's statue Of Ethan Allen

Death.
A correspondent of Appleton's Jour.
nal, writing of excavations at Pompeii,
says:
Among the most interesting of the
objects found recently are two skeletons,
one of a somewhat elderly man, the other
of a woman They we're found in the
Via Stabia, among the ashes of the last
eruption, evidently overtaken in their
flight and buried 10 the einders. Ac-
cording to the usual method employed
to preserve the external appearance OF
objects, liquid plaster was poured into
the cavity, which serving as a 'mould, a
fac-simile of the forms was obtained; and
thus perfectly preserved, the statue like
bodies we're placed in glass cases In the
Pompeii museum, While approaching
all the horror Of saoh a death, and the
suffering endured, as shown by the posi-.
ton, | cannot but imagine what would
have been the establishment Of that man
or woman had some prophet informed
them that eighteen hundred years after
their death their forms, and even as
much Of their garments as were not con-
sumed in the eruption, would be placed
in a museum for inspection by a multi
tude of sight seers, some from lands the
existence Of which they bad never
dreamed of. The poor woman is lying
on her face, and even the form of her
hair, put up behind, is seen. One arm
shields her forehead, and she is supported
by the other. Her stony limba are well
formed, and traces of o garment are seen
passing In felds around her. The man,
although placed on his back in the exhi-
ton, when fsund was turned on his side.
One arm rests on his hip; the other is
uplilted, The face is somewhat distorted
but massive and smoothly shayan. Even
the form of the ~fastenings Of the sandals
around the ankle, and Of the long button
higher up on the leg to hold them, is
clearly seen. The limbs are partly
drawn mp. The skeleton Of q tolerably
large dog, also recently found, ia in the

served in plaster, in the same manner as
just mentioned. He ia lYiag on his back,

A London letter to the N, Y. Tribune
says;
The Prince Of Wales has done a tho
roughly popular thing. He has refused
to attend the bull fight that was arranged
for hin in Madrid. 1t is by no means in
Madrid that his refusal will be popular,
where bull-6ghts and the Pope are the
two principal objects Of worship, and
where the Spaniard is wholly unable to
underst. nd-much less sympathize with
the repugnance which his tayoTite pas
time exeites in civilized countries. Nor
need it be supposed that the Prince him
self, more than other travellers in search
Of a frc h sens .tion, would object 10 be-
ing present at this peculiarly Spanish
festivity. He is, however, alive to the
scandal which some Of his Indian Re-
formancel caused at home. He desires

are as utterly without the spirit of barter
as Mr.. Hue describes the Tartars to be,

~huenees, they are as easy dupes as he
pictures them to their keen, rapaeious

ings With this simple people furnish so
apt a contrast to the grasping temper
that we cannot DO better than conclude
with an example Of their method Of do
ing business. The missionary having
offered a Tartar Lama his scales to weigh
the silver rendered in payment Of a
sheep, the Tartar stepped backward, and
throwing up hia hands, cried ont:
Above Us there is a heaven; below
there is an earth, and Buddah is the
master Of all things. He desires all men
