which will be felt for years. On the last
day they made an appeal for money to

THE EMPEROR OF BRAzrr.
The last sensation ie the visit OF the
Emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro. He
came very quietly, for an emperor, and
disappointed the finnkies by absolutely
refusing to having any fuss made over
him. When this announcement was
made there was weeping and wailing
in many circles. The politicians want

ception: the city officials wanted a big
dinner at the expense of the CITY !:
! Delrnonico wanted to furnish the said
dinner at about three prices, dividing
with tie officials; the bellies wanted q
chance to dance at the grand ball that
emperors are supposed to always desire,
and most everybody wanted to have
so1.sGhiog in connection with him. Bot
the Brsz,lian refused to submit to anv.
thing of the kind. He came here to see
aud not be seen. and he did it. He had
