THE EMPEROR OF BRAZIL.

BOSTON, June 8, 1876.
The Emperor and Empress arrived here this
evening by special train from Lowell, and were
heartily received at the depot by the large crowd
waiting TO welcome them. There was, however, no
attempt at formal reception, and all the authori-
ties kept well out OF view.
Quarters had been secured at the Revere House
for the imperial party, and rs this had become
known large crowd assembled at the door where
1t was supposed they would enter. The hotel
proprietors, however, disappointed the spec
tators by ordering the coachmen to execute
flank movement and conduct their Majcstes to
their apartments by the opposite wing OF the
building. Everything was done with excellent judy
ment TO prevent thoughtless curiosity from intrhd-
ing itself on the imperial visitors. 1t Is evident
that great deal OF popular interest is felt In the
imperial visitors by the Bostonians, as the large
crowds assembled ut the railway depot and about
the hotel were supplemented at intervals along the
route by large groups who took up points OF vantage
to watch their Majesties pass.
As His Majesty worked very hard from early
morning till the moment OF his departure examin-
ing the schools and workshops OF Lowell, 1t Is not
likely that he viii venture out again tonight,
especially he has decided to devote Ave full days
to Boston and her institutions.
Among the most interesting visits made at Lowell
chiefly engaged in the manufacture OF slawls. Here
there are employed something Ike 1000 hands. His
Majesty went carefully through all the departments,
asking questions all points that interested him.
lie paid special attention to the dyeing OF the WOOL
as dycstuiis enter largely into the explorations OF
Brazil. All the other members OF his suite ceased
their inspection at the door Of the dyeng establish
ment, but Ills Majesty dened the noxious odors in
his search after knowledge.
The Lowell Manufacturing Company's carpet
works were next visited, with both pleasure and
profit. Although comparatively new industry in
this country, carpet making has met with good
success and Is prospering. The great difficulty
that OF fixing permanently the coors-having been
thoroughly overcome, 1900 persons find employ
ment in these works, which turn out $1,000 yards
OF carpet per week. They arc now manufacturing
the class OF goods known as Brussels carpet with
considerable success as was proved by the speci-
mems OF tho work shown to their Mulesties, who
pronounced it every good,n and the Emperor said
the min is equal to anything he has in Europe.
1t being now near midday the imperial party
drove to the Merrimac Works to see the army OF
labor pour out into the street from that huge human
hive, where 2,70O hands are employed. Having en-
joyed this sight their Macstics drove through the
town and Its environs which are very pretty Every
where there Is mir or comfort and welbeing that
denotes general prosperity
The imperial party returned to see the Merrimac
Mill In operation and were shown through oil the
departments. His Majesty was particularly anxious
TO visit the calico printing department to acquant
himself with the system OF printing the
patterns on the cotton fabric. He was
shown the various processes but when lie tried to
find out the material used for the printing and fx-
ing Of the colors he was answered politely but
tered.
Shops, where most Of the machines used in the
ufacture Of cotton are made and more than 900
men find employment. His Majesty was also much
pleased by his visit to the Hosiery Mil OF the Law
renee Manufacturing Company lie was also favor
ably impressed with the energy and industry that
everywhere displayed, not alone in Lowell, but
along the whole route
