NEW YORK, March 29.-There was a
great hubbub in society circles yesterday
when the news that distinguished foreigner
was about to honor New York with his
presence was flashed among the brown
stone mansions of Fifth avenue. This
time it is not titled English lord who has
lost his money backing the wrong horse,
and wants to make raise by marrying
millionaire's daughter, but real prince
from the South American empire of Brazil.
His every day title is Prince Augusta Leo
poldO of SAKE, but he has trunk full of
high sounding cognOmens which he uses
upon grand occasions. He is the grandson
OF Dom Pedro and young man of IS. PeO-
pie who have seen the famous Brazilian
pebble of that country, will not be sur
priSed to learn that Prince Augusta Leo
pOldO is covered with diamonds. which
gives him the appearance of travelling
lewelry store. The prince is exceedingly
handsome, having the dark, fiery beauty
peculiar to BraZilians, and it is said that
many
SUSCEPTIBLE FEMININE HEARTS
in his own country have been so badly shat
tered on his account that the most sticky
mucilage has 10 effect upon them. The
prince is at present in New Orleans, which
place he reached on board the Brazilian
frigate BarOSsO, which carries more guns
than the most bloOdthirsty scout i'm typi-
cal Indian novel. SgnOr Salvador De Men
dOnca is the Brazilian consul at this port.
He left for New Orleans a few days ago in
order to welcome the prince, and will ac-
company him to this city. The anticipated
visit of the prince to New York promises
to be far-reaching in its effects. 1t will, IN
fag An Il, 1.fal,
will be very severely felt. The slim young
men will be obliged 10 give up their allie
glance to the fashions of, London. and
adopt the latest styles now in vogue in Bra
zil. The day of lOud-checked trousers,
mutton-chOp side wiskers and a cockney
drawl is rapidly nearing its end. Prince
| Augustus Leopold always wears a
straw hat, linen suit and low
] cut shoes and, of course, being
a real prince, his will be the proper costume
| for the coming season. Chinese laundry
men look upon the princes visit with great
| delight. A Mott street washer told a GLOBE
reporter yesterday that the price for wash
ing linen suits would at once be doubled.
There is already great rivalry between the
patrons of royalty as TO which of them will
be hOnOred by having the prince for a guest.
1t is said that Cyrus W. Field has offered to
buy all of Augustus pebbles at a reasonable
rate if the prince will make his headquarters
at the Field mansion, while

promises to pay the national debt of Brazil
i'm return for visit from the prince. Many
pretty society bellies are also agitated over
the matter. The prince is said TO be a
charming Walter, and is also very fond
of iee-cream. 1t Is not impossible that he
may conclude to take a New York wife
back with him, ard the thought of being
some day the future empress of BlaZi
causes fiutter among the fair ones of the
city. 1t is not known exactly when the
prince will arrive, as the round of feStivi-
ties which has been arranged for his delec-
tatiOn in New Orleans will probably keer
him there for some time. The prince:
grandfather. Dom Pedro, is remembered
with feelings of qualification by many peO-
pie in this city. Dom Pedro while here
was one of the ''bOys," and showed himself
n thorough Democrat. 1t is remembered
that SignOr Nicholas Langdon, who showed
Dom Pedro many of the sights OF the city
used to address him Familiarity as ''Dom.
and those who were on friendly terms will
Dom Pedro hope that the prince will be al
equally good fellow.
