A TRIBUTE TO DOM PEDRO.
What Rev. DR.. G.. w. Chamberlain says
of the Dcposed Emperor.

An interesting account of Brazil, especially
with reference to the missionary work now in
progress in that country under the auspices OF
the Presbyterian church, was given last even
ing at the Church of the Covenant by Rev. DR..
G. W. Chamberlain. He has been for a number
of years past a missionary in that country and
has but recently come to this country. Seated
with him in the pulpit last evening were Rev.
Messrs wynkoop and Little and Rev. DR.. Ham,
lin
A GREAT FUTURE FOR THE NEW REPUBLIC.
DR.. Chamberlain spoke of the great extent Of
Brazil and said that it was, in his opinion. to
be the tbeater of great material development
which would parallel that of the United States.
He had seen, as others had, the dispatches an
nounclng the political revolution which had
just taken place there. He paid a warm tribute
to the life and character of the late emperor
and said that he was man of literary tastes
and friend OF free institutions. The ex-em-
peror was fond OF the poems of Longfellow and
Whittier and had translated number of them
into Portuguese. He had also acquired knowl-
edge OF Hebrew and he thought that there
would be no more fitting close to a life devoted
to the cause OF the people than that he should
undertake
A TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE
into his own language. There were two Por-
tuguese TRANSACTIONS of the Bible, the speaker
said, one so antiquated that it could be COM
pared to what the Wickliffe Bible would be to
the Engish-speaking people of today, the
other translation of the Vulgate which was
not at all satisfactory. The speaker said the
peaceful character of the recent revolution
formed fitting close to the beautiful life of
Dom Pedro. The ex-emperor was progressive,
liberal man and had labored to advance his
people.
PROTESTANT UNIVERSITY.
The speaker then mentioned the enterprise
which was contemplatedin the city of st. Panic
the erection of Protestant university-and in
vited the cooperation of all Christian people.
He deprecated the influence of the Catholic
church in Brazil, and said while that was the
national religion and Brazil was Christian
country. yet there was general Ignorance OF
the Bible and need of evangelical work IN
bringing the gospel to people to whom it was
as yet unknown.

Portuguese Republicans Encouraged.

The Portuguese republicans are greatly
elated at the success of the republican
coup d'etat in Brazil, and there are NUT
terings of distant thunder which are be-
ginning to confirm the belief that something
of the same nature may be attempted in this
country. Portugal is about ready for a re 7olu-
ton and the court is seriously alarmed
The Portuguese army is in nearly the same
state of mind as the Brazilian army, and Is
more or less ready to foreswear allegiance to the
king and to set up its own president and minis
try. The impetus which has been given to the
growing discomfort by the Brazilian revolution
makes the danger to the present government
imminent.
