How the Emperor Of Brazil Proposes
to Enjoy Himself.

The New York Tribune says that the
Emperor has announced that it is his in
tention to remain In this country until
July 18th. As he desires in the mean.
time to visit the principal points of in
terest in the United States, his move
ments must necessarily be very rarid.
He has expressed desire to visit
every State in the Union, will give
special attention TO the industrial Gen.
tiers of the country, and will visit the
Mississippi, Niagara, and the chief cities
of Canada. The Emperor will take
special note of things suggesting i'm.
provements In his own country. The
Empress will pass most of the time al
lotted for staying in this country in
New York and Philadelphia, attended
by DR.. DE Sanzo Foutes and Vice.
Admiral Delamaf. About July IL the
Emperor and his party will sail for Eng
land. His next movement will be to
Paris. Then he will go to Weisbaden,
or Ems, or possibly Baden-Baden, where
the Empress will try the curative powers
of the celebrated springs, while Dom
Pedro will make the tour of Holland,
Sweden and Russia. The European
tour has been definitely marked, and
with the intention of spending the sum-
mer months in northern ATTITUDES. When
the late November storms set in the
Emperor will rejoin the Empress and
travel to Italy. The months OF Decem.
ber and January will be given to Rome,
Naples, Florence and Venice, and North
ern Italy, fifteen days being assigned to
the objects of interest at each place OF
neighborhood. Before the following
spring the Emperor expects to visit Egypt
and ascend the Nile, at least as far as the
first cataract, and may extend his visit
to Palestine and Asia Minor.

The Curiosity Of Fish,.

The curiosity exhibited by fish is
worthy of remark. Like nearly all the
animal creation, fishes are inquisitive.
Workmen in diving bells and submarine
armor tell some interesting anecdotes IL
Illustrative of this prospensity. A diver
who was engaged in tunneling for the
water-works OF an Eastern city, whose
labors at the bottom of the river occupied
him for several days, became suddenly
aware one day of the presence of a larger
fish than he had seen before, a sturgeon,
which he thought would weigh at least
eighty or ninety pounds. 1t visited him
for several days in succession, and
eventually became 80 fearless Us to ap-

Adams First Wife's Revenge.

The old Hebrew cabalistic legend OF
Lilith, the first wife of Adam, is told by
M. d. Conway, in his lecture on the
Devil, in language which Is rs beautiful
as a finished poem. She was cold,
passionless, splendid. beauty, with won
drous golden hair. She was created
Adams equal in every respect, and there
fore properly enough refused to obey
him. For this she was driven from the
garden of Eden, and Eve was created,
made to order, so to speak, of one Of
Adams ribs. Then the golden-haired
Lilith, jealous, enraged, pining for her
first home in Paradise, entered in the
form of serpent, crept into the garden
of Eden and tempted Adam and Eve to
their destruction. And from that day
to this Lilith, cold, passionless beauty,
with golden hair, has roamed up and
down the earth, snaring the, sons OF
Adam and destroying them. You may
always know her dead victims, for when
ever q man has been destroyed by the
hands of Lilith you will always find q
single golden hair wrapped tight around
his lifeless heart. To this day, many
and many son of Adam is still lured to
death and ruin from having the golden
hair of woman wrapped too tight
around his heart. This is the moral. Has
not Lilith been revenged2

A Centennial Novelty.

Mr.. Conway says novelty intended
for the Centennial has been exhibited in
London. It seems intended to recover
for English invention and enterprise
some of the ground they lost in having
been so far behind America In the use Of
street tramways; it isa street-car moved
by steam in such way as TO conceal all
that horses or human wayfarers may re-.
gard as Objectionable in steam engines.
There is patent condenser which c,n.
denses the steam to a temperature oftwo
hundred degrees, the steam from the
safety valve is also taken into the tank
aud condensed, AMI the locomotive is
not only noiseless but consumes it's
smoke and steam. The engine works in
dependently of the tram-car, weighs lit
tie over four tons, and runs six miles
without needing more water. The
boilers and machinery are all SO en-
closed that the car is not distinsuishable
from an ordinary street-car, except that
it moves without horses. The engine is
of twenty-horse power, capable Of run
ming twelve miles an hour, and when
going at Elk miles an hour may b
stopped in the space of four and half
yards. 1t runs up gradiants with great
ease, and on the whole is very clever
application of steam. The movement of
the car without noise or smoke is mar
velous enough. 1t was invented by a
man in Leicester.

Ex-GovERNoR TRUsToN Polk, who
died in st. Louis on Saturday, April 10th,
was native of Sussex county, Delaware,
born May 10th, 1911, graduate of Yale
College of the Glass 1881, and also of the
Yale Law School. He removed to
Missouri in 1885, where he entered on
the practice of law; in 1845 he was
chosen a member of the Convention to
remodel the State Constitution !; in 184S
was a Presidential Elector, and in 1855
was elected Governor Of Missouri. He
resigned the Governorship soon after his
Inauguration In 1867 10 take seat in the

The Russian Emperor's Condition.

In consequence of mystery which
prevails whenever a crowned head is at
tackled with illness there is unusual
scope for conjecture, for magnifying
trifies into portents, and treating
ominous facts as mere trifles. 1t Is now
twenty-one years since the present Em-
peror ascended the throne of Russia.
He is only fifty eight years of age, but he
does not possess the vigorous physique,
the iron constitution Of his father, and
his features bear the impress of a mind
i'll at ease. He has the reputation of
being the most amiable of despots; in
deed, there is no other Russian sovereign
against whom SO little can be said, and
in whose favor so much can be urged.
His opportunities for doing mischief are
greater than those of any other Eu-
rOpean ruler, and yet he can not be
charged, If the case of Poland be ex-
cepted, with having given the rein to
tendencies which are generally upper
most in despot's mind. Alike in the
history of Russia and of modern Eu-
rope, his name is imperishably as
sociated with the most enlightened
measure of our age, for to him
alone do the Russian serfs owe their en-
franchisement. The beneficence of this
measure was not greater than its bold
ness. In all despotic countries the no
bility play the part of public opinion in
free countries; and, where their pre-
iudices are disregarded, they find in con-
spiracies or assassinations a means OF
revenge.
To give freedom to the serfs involved
no greater trouble than the signature OF
a ukase but it was an act OF which no
one could foresee the direct con-
sequences provided the recalcitrant
mobiles should give practical effect to
their feelings. Alexander /, the uncle
of the present Emperor, whom Madame
de Stael styled happy accident, was as
anxious TO act the part Of a paternal
despot as any man could be, yet he was
afraid to venture on the abolition OF
serfdom, because he could not face the
open or tacit disapproval of the nobility,
Since this great event illustrated the
history of the present reign, the En-.
peror Is understood to have been haunted
with vague forebodings of calamity, and
to have become prey to confirmed
melancholy. His life has been threat
ened more than once, and apprehensioni
of other attempts against it are believed
to haunt his mind and embitter his
thoughts. Morbid sentiments like thost
which predominant in his breast are moi
easily overcome and expelled by argu
ment or persuasion. Sydney Smith
maintained that melancholy could bt
exercised by cultivating the habit of tax
ing very short views Of human life, en-
joying the present and caring nothing
for the future. However useful the pre-
scription, there may be considerably!
difficulty in applying 1t in all cases, and
the impossibility of plucking from thu
imagination a rooted dread may. bt
equal to plucking a rooted sorrow from
the memory.-London Daily Ne'os.

When this life's done, but ten to one
He leaves a record Of shame.

WHILE fixing up the long lines Of

A POOR Irishman who was on his death
bed, and who did not seem quite recon-
ciIed to the long journey he was going
10 take, was kindly consoled by good
natured friend with the common re-
mark that we must all die once. "Why,
my dear, now," rejoined the sick man,
/" that is the very thing that vexes me.
If I could die half dozen times should
not mind IT,"
