Anecdates Of Dom Pedro. From the New York Press

An American who lived for some years in Brazil said to me yesterday: "I think I can tell you story of the ex-Emperor Dom Pe- dro which is new. was in Rio when the late empress came there on a ship of war to marry him. It Is many years ago-so long that cannot give you the date. He was a young man then-the young emperor, they called him. When the war ship arrived with his bride he went on board with great suite of officers to receive the fair lady. She came on deck to meet him with dog in her arms-a pet poodle, think it was. He looked at the lady and then at the dog Then he looked at the dog and again at the lady. Then with an impetuous movement he seized the animal by the neck and flung 1t across the deck, where it narrowly es- capped rolling into the sea. His prospective bride burst into tears and things were badly mixed up for a few moments. But he did not waver a particle from his determined action in reference to the poodle. I came to receive bride, not a do9,' was his com. ment The dog was given up.
 "Thsre was another instance of which was coRnizant down there," continued my informant, (which showed the same deter termination of character in Dom Pedro. He had learned that the custom house officers at Rio were levying duty of 0 few milreas per sack of coffee, in addition to the regular export duty, in some irregular way. The coffee merchants were paying it without dispute, but not penny .wsnt into tbe gov ernment treasury, and owing to the immense exportations of coffee the officials were grow ing immensely wealthy. O1e morning he walked down to the custom house attended by an ad;utant and file of soldiers. He | walked In and gave the chief officers ter
 minutes in which to empty the building Then he gave the man himself two minutes to clear out. The adjutant was put in charge
 and told to engage an entirely new set O l mon. That was his way of reforming GUS | toms abuses"

The market was in- clired to follow the share list in the early trading and displayed some weakness, but afterward recov- cred and closed strong. There was mo- special fea- ture beyond the strength in Kansas and Texas fives which rose per cent. to 75, but other advances were Omaha consols to 1231f; Erie collateral trusts to 110; Ohio, Indiana and Western seconds 1h to 56]4, and New York Central debentures 11a to 11S1f
 The stock speculation halted little again to-day and the result of the days operations in most of the list Is insignificant changes of small fractions only, though they are generally in the direction Of lower figures. The realzations again assumed large proportions and with slight falling off in the demand for stocks the pressure to sell was sufficient to cause gain of per cent. on large dealings for the stock.

What Virginia Girls Know. GICxax,n Ina Ia iolr T

Several gentlemen from the north have been in fredericksburg recently with the view of purchasing saddle horses. One day last weekone of them took @ notion to try one of several horses in the stables of the gentlemen who had them for sale; but as he was not familiar with either the horse or mode of saddling and bridling him, was about to forego the pleasure of horeback ride when ono of our local beauties came to the rescue and in 8 moment showed the northernsr what true southern girl was capable of doing. Entering the stall she removed the halter, adjusted the bridle, led the animal out of the stable, and, throwing and ordered the blushing northerner to mount while she held the stirrup for him. He was stunned, but enjoyed the ride inn mensely, doubtless surprised that woman SO fair could be so handy.

Rainesford of New York and the Rev. Floyd Tomkins of Hartford, President Smith and Dr. Pyn- oheon of Trinity college. The bearers were Roland Mather, of Hartford; Levi P. Morton, A. J.

 The supplement 10 The Hospital, an En- glish publication, under date of April 12, contains an excellent article upon Mir. Mor- gan, who had given e10, ,000 to the national fund for trained nurses. It says:
 "Mr. Junius Morgan was ons of those men whom all right-minded people loved to honor. At the time of his death he was a great merchant, who had been trusted and admired for many years by the sternest judges of character that can be found any where in the modern world. In the city of London, where the busi- ness of J. s. Morgan & Co., was principally carried on, Mr. Morgan occu- pied peculiar and almost unique position. Physically large and massive, his intellect was also of the strong and striking order. He vas man who made money, but he made it by steady and persistent attention to business and by fair and straightforward dealing. He secured reputation by honestly earning 1t and he maintained 1t by the same means. The national pension fund was but one of many institutions which shared in Mr. Morgan's liberality. Quite re- gently he gave the splendid donation of s10.- GOO to augment the failing resources of Guys hospitsl" The Hospital further speaks oi Mr. Morgan's multifold charities, many ol which will never be known.

 Searles, the surveyor, and the first sewer was built under Deacon Thompson as street com. and myself chairman of the street with Mir. Searles as engineer. There were no paid men then. To-day you must have watch crow, paid; today you must have men watching over those men who are at work upon the sewers, paid. It Is pay everywhere, because those gentlemen wh9 en;s are members Of the common harder for their friends than they do to save tho taxes of the people, many times. When they see chance for one of their friends to get in office, I tell you they will sit up all night to get him that office, and with it comes pay, and it will be SO all the way down from A. to z. l do not know any bet ter way of judging the future than by the past. Experience is a teacher that think we should heed. I do not know how these ed or upon what basis they perform their duties, or whether the bill in form proposes any commissioners. I am in the dark; don't know anything about 1t. If did could discuss the bill from that standpoint, but as I do not know anything about 1t would commend to you of the committee who have this matter in charge-I would commend to you that sys- tenn of commissioners which is non-psrtisan, which should not be putting watch crow upon the sewer here, or that work there, or that structure, or this road, for the purpose, 1t is said, of making the contractor perform his duty, when it is only to make place for some friend with pay. I tell you, gentlemen, go slow upon this matter. Then again, the suburbs have their rights. I remember the time when a portion of East Haven came into this town, and know there was an implied understanding that they never should be called into the oity- for was one of those who at that time assisted and was in favor of their coming to us, and now you say that there was no written agreement-I do not say that there was, but there were some solemn pledges given-that, until the people of East Haven should vote to come into the city they should not be forced to come in without their consent. That know. And whether today they are opposed to consoli- dation, do not know; but have great faith in the committee that they Will not
