Dom PEDRo.-Dom Pedro, the Emperor
of Brazil, is the most free and easy crowned
head who has ever visited the United States.
Ills pleasant manners, unassuming deport-
ment aud avoidance of display have made
him exceedingly popular wherever lie has
lifted. As it is not probable many of our
readers will have an opportunity of seeing
him in person, we give the following dcs.
cription of his appearance, from the Will.
mington Herald:
"1n person, the niu is about six feet two
in height, large and portly, with broad and
rather STOPPING shoulders. His head is COW
cred with long gray hair, and when he lifted
his hat square, full forehead was visible.
His eyes are ola dark color and nearly hid
en- by gray, shaggy brows; rather promi-
nent nose large, but pleasant mouth which,
when he talked, disclosed the fact that his
teeth were detective; and fair, open face,
covered with long white beard, will give the
reader some idea of how the Emperor look
ed. In dress he was plain and looked care
less. lie wore about his neck what was once
standing collar, but the heat and perspira-
ton had been too much for it. A plain
black necktie, tied in rather loose man.
ner, flowed from beneath his chin. His
outer apparel was plain suit of black d.
agonal from which travel had doubtless
taken the "ht," and patent leather, low
cut shoes. His head was adorned with
large white felt sombrcro, which was so
large as 10 come down over his ears. The
only jewelry about his person was a ring and
a large gold watch chain, to which was hung
heavy SEAL In his right hand he carried an
umbrella, which he kept swinging in the air
as he walked along"

Centennial Notes.

The public nre cautioned against the
purchase of spurious Centennial medals--
The genuine medal is authorized by act oil
Congress, and was struck at the U. S. Mint.
The coored people of Philadelphia are
expressing some dissatisfaction because some
of the more noted of their class were not in

Great complaint is made about the ex'
horbitant charges of the restaurant keepers
on the Centennial grounds. The managers,
it is stated, have supervisory power in refer
ence to prices, and steps will be taken to
bring the charges to a fair basis
Several mammoth steers have been sent
TO the Centennial. Three of them. which

q steer on exhibition there which weighs

other privileges were sold for $500, 600, leav

TIE INDEPENDENT MONUMENTAL po-
litical conference of Liberal Republicans,
called by Carl Schurz, William Cullen Bry-
ant and others, met at New York ON Mon
day. About ITO persons were in attendance.
Speeches were made by Carl Schurz and
others, and an address to the country adopt
ed. The address laments the era of shame
and corruption in which we live, and the
signers pledge themselves to support no can
didate for the Presidency whose past career
does not afford a guarantee that he possesses
the desire, the courage and the ability to
carry on campaign in the interests of a
try.
A purpose to form q new political party
is especially disclaimed in the address. One
of the speakers, Mr.. C. F. Adams, Jr., spoke
approvingly of Secretary Bristow as Re-
publican candidate whom he could cheerfully
support. He also referred to Governor Til
den, Of New York, whom, lie said, If the
Democrats nominate, he would support as
the "next best thing TO Dristow." We shall
watch with interest to see how these gentle
men will act If the Republican party should
nominate Blaine, Morton or Conkling.
The sentiments expressed in their address
are commcndable, and we hope they may
find all they desire in the coming Democratic
candidate, whoever he may be.

WHAT THE ItEFoRMERs WILL Do.-1he
Baltinoredn, journal which last fall warm
ly advocated the Reform cause, thinks it
speaks the sentiments of ninety. nine hun
dredths of the Democrats who Joined in the
Reform movement, when it says that they
win support the Democratic nominee for
President in the coming campaign. 1t adds: :
Gwen fit were possible for the Republi-
can Convention at Cincinnati to nominate
an honest man for the Presidency, which we
think 1t is not under the present influences,
he would be practically powerless, if elected,
because he would be hampered and fettered
by the Republican Rings.
"a Democratic President would not be
under the same evil influences, as the Demo-
Gratis would have to be very careful at first
in all their movements.
at therefore may be regarded as certain
that the Democratic Reformers of this State
will vote for the Democratic nominee for
President next Fall"

The Primary Meetings and County Con.
yentiOn.

The Democratic primary meetings will be
held at o'clock tomorrow afternoon, 10
select ten delegates to represent each dis
trict in the County Convention, which meets
at Bel Air next Tuesday, the 23d inst. We
have heretofore urged upon the voters of the
party the importance of attending these
meetings and sending to the county conven-
ton the best men from each district, so that
the convention may truly reflect the wishes
Of the Democrats of the county.
Many vrtuous and good citizens are so
much engrossed with their personal concerns
that they are unwilling to give even por.
ton of one day to poitics-and by politics
we do not mean the scramble after office
but the duty that devolves upon every good
citizen to use his influence and personal eff
fort in that direction which will subscrve
the best interests of his county, his State and
bis country. When things 60 wrong and
knaves or incompetent men place themselves
in public positions, these same good citizens
aver that an honest man has no chance
The maj ority of voters in every party, we
ore persuaded, are honest and opposed to
political trickery and corruption but the
trouble is, on such occasions as the present,
they are willing to stay at home and let
those attend who will, to matter in which
MI are equally interested.
The primary meetings tomorrow possess
more than usual Importance. They are the
preliminary steps towards sending dele
CATION from the State of Maryland to the
National Convention, which will meet at st.
Louis ON the eth ofJune, to nominate Demo-
cratic candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States.
The course of the Republican party in its
administration of the National Government
has been such as to bring disgrace and shame
upon our country, and the people are ready
and anxious for n change. They are look
nomination at st. Louis, and are willing to
give the candidate who may there be nomi-
mated a hearty support. They demand,
though, that he shall be man in whose
ability and determination to restore to the
country pure and honest government they
can confide.
To secure such nomination at st. Louis
it is important that every State should he
represented by prudent, honest and sagacous
men, and for this purpose it is necessary that
our State Convention should be composed
of equally good material. Let the primary
meetings, therefore, be well attended, and let
the County Convention, which will meet
next Tuesday, do honor TO itself und to the
county, by sending to the State Convention Il
delegation of which we need not be ashamed
--one upon whom the people may rely to do
their part towards promoting the great work
of Reform in the administration of the Ma.
tional Government, by a suitable representa-.
tion at st. Louis.
