NEW YORK. Hay a2-Tae Herald this
morning publishes letter from Rio De
Janeiro, dated April IS containing the
provisions OF the Emancipation law re-
Gently passed by the Brazilian Lecisla-
tUre. The Emancipation bill Is very
short, having only i've brief articles:
First Declaring free from the date O.
the bin all slaves IL the Empire.
Second. Relieving trom further se-vire
re tree-born children o. slave mothers
Third. Localizin- The new freedmen
within their counties tor two years.
Fourth Empowering tie executive 20
issue the necessary regulations.
Fifth. Revolving all contrary rroriis-
ions.
1t is estimated that the law eu,anc;-
pates six hundred Thousand slaves AID
relieves from apprenticeship four huu-
dred thousand children OF slaye mothers.
Previous TO the passage OF the law. the
voluntary emancipation movement had
taken firm root in the provinces ot Rio De
JaneIro and Minas Geraes. Oae notable
fact IN connection with the freeing OF
the slaves is the anxiety OF the freedmen
to legelize their unsaactifed coniasai
unions and TO legitinIze their ofispriry.

cd, rs wnen 1t gave to tie Gerfnaus'
as their ruler this truly kingly aud le-
roic man Born in the purple, he was
a great and glorious exception to the
rule of those 80 situated. Broad and
large aud great Of soul ns hewas ma
jestic aud handsome in person, this
man was of that make of which heroes
and demigods grew in olden times.
Born and bred soldier, he yet bat
ed wal; the son of king and ap abb
solutist aud surrounded all his life
by the tyrannical brutality of Ger
man militarism. He had great and
broad sympathies for his people, and
claimed no kinship with tho domi-
nantspirit of the court and the times,
living in an age and in country in
which race persecution was still pos
sible, he bravely and openly pro-
claimed bis sympathy for the op"
pressed in the face of popular move
menfs against them. But two weeks
ago, although then in the shadow of
death, he dismissed minister who
had long served the state because OF
his interference with tue popular will
as expressed in elections, thing
hitherto unheard of in the history Of
government in Germany. Such was
the man who has just passed away
What next? Is now the question
Of the hour for anxious Germany.
A year ago it was thought that
the accession Of the Crown Prince,
now Emporer, would bo the signal
for war, and this view was justified
by all then known OF the impetuous
and foolish youth, the oldest and un-
worthy son Of so noble and heroic O
parent OF late, however, he seems
to have shown greater dignity and
poise OF character, and may disap-
point the fears to which his earlier
years gave rise. But that he can in
any way replace the true and nobl,
spirit that has just passed away is
out OF all possibility.

THE AMERICAN IN POLITICS.

The American rs politician is
somewhat Of curiosity in himself,
carrying his enthusiasm, 80 far as
his political sentiments are concern
ed, to tho highest pitch imaginable,
outstripping at times tho vohemonce
Of the excitablo Frencbman, and the
wild rawlings Of tho irasciblo Irish
man. On oil other points ho is gen.
orally cool and collected, and will
talk nationally on any other subject.
lie has been tried ut tho post Of
danger and deadly peril, and faced
death itself with an unrnillsd coun-
tenanco, and stood calmly await
ing the grim messenger; but talk poll
itics to him in opposition to his own
fixed opinion and ho seems at once to
emerge from q stole to an enthusiast

year we will have u fair chance tc
observe the effects OF this political
excitement. Tue average American
can generally find enough to enthuse
him in an ordinary township or con-
stables election; but in the event Of
a Presidents election the tension of
his excitement is strung up to the
highest pitch, and yet in spite Of il
oil they rarely do each other injury,
and generally confue their assaults
on each other to words, and il is no
unusual sight to SEQ two of opposit
opinion politically ready to devour

not intimate with our customs would
supposed that the fight would ter~

famous Kilkenny cats; but be would

course, joking, and treating each
other as though nothing had ever

political excitement does of course
effect trade aud business generally,
and as often as the four years move
around and President election
occurs, just as surely comes with it q
general stagnation of businass all
over the country. This fact has be-

The Soldiers Orphans Schools.

According to DIR. Higbee's re-
port on tho Soldiefs' Orphans School
Of this State, we learn that there are
at the present time 2,774 Children in
these worthy establishments and four
who received relief in other institu-
ton. This is very large number
when it 10 considered that the war
closed twenty-three years ago. by
law all admission to these schools
closed on the first of June, 1887 and
consequently with every coming year
the number will decrease. In 1890
the schools will permanently close.
There will still be 1000 children in
them Mt that time who have not at
