DOM PEDRO IL.


EXPRESS OF BRAZIL.
ever. private associations were formed at
Rio de Janeiro for the purpose of redrcssing
the immigrants wrongs and giving them in
formation upon arrival as is done under SIM
liar circumstances at Castle Garden, New
York, and immigration, principally from
Germany and Switzerland, is now taking
place, aided by the Brazilian government,
which PAYS part of each immigrants pas
sage money.
Dom Pedro has been abroad great deal
since ISL At that time he left his empire
under the regency of his eldest daughter,
Isabella, and made an extended tour through
the United States, the continent OF Europe
and England. lie is related to nearly every
reigning family in Europe, but is extremely
republican in his habits. Instead of crossing
the water in an imperial steamer, he has been
accustomed to use the same conveyance as
ordinary mortals.
-Four children of Dom Pedro are alive, the
eldest being Donna Isabelle at the present
time the princess regent in Brazil She was
born July %, 1916, and was married Oct Is,
1864, to the Comte d'Eu, by whom she has
three children, the Oldest being Prince Pedro,
born at Rio de Janeiro, Oct. Is, 1875. In
case of Dom Pedr death Princess Isabelle
will be empress, since, according to the Bra
gillian constitution, the heir to the throne is
the oldest child without distinction Of sex.
King Louis I, of Portugal, was born Oct
81, 1888, and is consequently nearly 80 years
of age In 1861 his brother, Pedro Y, king
of Portugal upon the breaking out of yellow
fever in Portugal applied himself to the as
sistance Of his stricken subjects, and died
from exposing himself to tie disease Pedro
had inaugurated wise policy for remedying
the unfortunate condition of the finances
consequent upon the wars through which
Portugal had passed during the earlier part
OF the present century Louis, after his ac-
cesSion to the throne, continued TO tighten
the public burdens and promote the arts of
peace In 1SGS he abolished slavery in the
Portuguese colonies In 1866 and In 1872 he
instituted exhibitions in Oporto, and in 1878
succeeded in consolidating the floating debt
However, Portugal, at one time one OF the
two great rival nations Of the Spanish penin-
sula, like her neighbor Spain, has almost en-
tirely lost her position as power. While
she has been retrograding, her former colony
Brazil has been gaining. While Louis has
had a worn old narrow strip of land 70 work
upon, Dom Pedro has had a rich and fertile
territory, productive of coffee, sugar. india
rubber, dye woods, wool and other articles
which are staple. and with proper cultiva-
ton are extremely profitable. With irnrni-
grafton, peace and agriculture, there is no
reason why Brazil should not continue in her
prosperity. Perhaps some day she may take
her old mother Portugal under her protec-
ton and provide for the little old lady in
true fiial style.

''lived up stairs" and visited in skiffs and

chickens; hogs domiciled up stairs in the
academy and public hall, and the carcasses
of other animals foated hfeless upon the

several days AT least $1,000 acres of fine
bottom land were submerged on the Missouri

But the greatest destruction was Of the
great "Sny levee," which was completed
some dozen years ago, at a cost of near ST.

Death seems to be sweeping his scythe Wig
orogsly among crowned heads The two most
lately marked for the stroke, Dom Pedro Of
Brazil and King Louis-of Portugal, come Of
the same family, the house Of Braganxa, of
Portugal. Nearly 400 years ago Brazil was
discovered by Portuguese admiral and taken
possession of in the name of Portugal 1t
remained a Portuguese colony until TIE early
part Of the present century, when it became
an independent empire In 1857. when Napo-
leon declared war against Portugal, John
VI, its king, took refuge, with his family, IN
Brazil On the fall of Napoleon in 1915,
Brazil was raised TO the rank of q kingdom.
and King John assumed the title of king Of
Portugal. Algarve and Brazil When he re-
turned to Portugal be left his son, Dom
Pedro, as regent of Brazil In ISL revolu-
ton broke out, and in 1872 Dom Pedro was
proclaimed emperor as Pedro l.
Dom Pedro, STYLED Pedro II, who went to
Milan when his illness became serious, is the
grandson of Pedro L He was born at Rio de
Janeiro, Dec. 2, 1925. When he was 6 years
old his father abdicated in his favor, and the
empire was governed by regent At IA he
was declared by the Brazilian chamber of
deputies to be of age, and was crowned en-
peror July Is, lS41 During his minority his
empire was in a disturbed state, and. indeed,
this condition of affairs did not disappear
until 1870.
Pedro II has always been interesting to
Europeans and Americas for his culture,
and especially for his efforts for the abolition
of slavery. There is something about him to
remind one of the Emperor Frederick III Of
Germany in his literary and scientific attain
ments. He has always been much beloved
by his subjects. His standing among scientists
is attested bv his membership of the French
Academy OF Sciences, to which he was elected
in 1873. The realization of his efforts for
emancipation came in 1871, in which year,
through his instrumentality, a law was passed
for the gradual abolition of slavery within
his empire. 1t was enacted that children
thenceforth born of slave mothers should be
free, and the same act emanclpated all the
slaves belonging to the government. This
resulted in freeing about $1,000 slaves III
