HEROES.

We hear It said that great men tread no more
The sod OF this duh earth- and that the past
Entombs tn heroic dead, whose deeds vii
last
When our poor century is dust. Such store
We set upon the ancients!--they who bore
The honors OF the fight. Still we hold fast
Traditions old. nor think our warriors cast
IN the heroic mold Of those Of yore.
Yet this degenerate age" has its great men;
As great as those illustrious Greeks Of old;
But we, unjust, withhold our praises when
We see about as yalorous deeds and bold
And so we wrong a brave age when we say
That heroes do not tread the earth todayr

DOM PEDRO III.

The death of Dom Pedro Ii in exile is not
without elements of pathos. He loved his coun-
try. and had hoped to draw his last breath in
his modest palace at Petropolis When he was
bundled eff with his family two years ago and
compelled to sail for Lisbon on few hours
notice his excamationS betokened a mind dis
ordered with grief II ask only to die in my
own country ~ he exclaimed to the revolutionary
officers. "What have / done to merit this
What crimes have my family committed? We
do not know what we are about We under
stand nothing except that Brazil is dear to us p
And so. with dsjointed ordinations and many
sobs and groans, the aged Emperor went out to
his ship at midnight, and the next day as the
barren rocky headland of Cape Fri0 was grad
ually clouded and hidden in sunset mists Brazil
passed cut of his sight forever The Empress
died in the first month of their exile. The En-
perors life was prolonged for two years. Ii he
made feeble effort to interest himself in scien-
tfc studies in Paris it was despairing affecta-
ton of pedantry for which he had no heart. One
long glimpse of the rose garden where he had
loved to stroll in the lovely valley among the
Organ Mountains would have been worth more
to him in his last days than all the philosophic
consultations of a scholarship which at the best
was never very deep.
The Emperor enjoyed during long reign the
reputation Of being one of the most enlightened
sovereigns of the times. lie was ruler with
many fascinating and estimable traits, who en-
deared himself to his people and commanded re-
spect abroad. He was mainly instrumental in
introducing railways, telegraphs and public works
in Brazil, headed national movement for eff
fecting emancipation, and displayed marked
interest in technical education and practical sa-
gacity in directing the progressive tendencies of
a most conservative nation. So large was the
measure OF his benefactiOns and charities that
when he left Brazil he was without money and
dependent upon drafts on the Treasury which
the revolutionists were well pleased to honor.
1t was matter of pride with him to make only
bare living out of the business of royalty which
he had inherited He was not thrifty capitalist
like an Orleans Prince. lie gave away in charity
appropriations which would have sufficed to en-
rich his family and to conduct really splendid
court He was content to live in what for a
monarch was a shabby genteel way, to keep few
servants, TO drive in battered barouche behind
a mule team, TO entertain his Ministers and for
eigners sparingly, and to spend much Of his time
in useless literary hackwork, such as translating
Spanish books into Portuguese. In his dotage

the habits of moody recllse were fastened upon
him, and he was governed by his self-willed ana
fanatical daughter who in turn was lea ABOUT
blindfold by Jesuit confessOrs.
When the record of the Emperor's public SER
vices and private virtues is complete, the iac'
remains that he stood for "a system OF centrallza
ton which deprived the federated Provinces Of
self government, rcpressed home-rule aspirations
and created class of professional patronage
mongers at the national capital and carpet-baS
administrators throughout Brazil. Under tha'
system the Provinces were governed in the in
terest of the Imperial Administration, ana as
much revenue as possible was squeezed OUT OF
them by political partisans, military pro-consuls
and rapacious adventures With all his leisure
for literary and scientific pedantry the sovereign
never found time to examine the practical opera
ton of the highly centralized administration
which was paralyzing the industrial energies and
obstucting the political development OF the coun-
try. An amiable and well-mening ruler, with
heart touched by the sight of every beggar in
the streets, he lacked the order Of mind required
for analyzng the intolerable evils of system OF
government as complex and as deadly as Meter
uich's in Austria If he had been less of book
worm and recluse, and a more practical man OF
the world, he would have adapted his reign to
the conditions of home rule and modern progress
and have escaped the misfortunes of his closing
years.
The Emperor was good monarch with thor
oughly bad system behind him. Pathetic though
his death in exile may be, Brazil is well rid OF
the Empire and all the corruption and COM
preston of administration that it implied. If the
Republican leaders had been content to leave
him on the throne and to wait until death carried
him off, they would have had to deal with
determined Empress with all the resources of
Clericalism behind her. As it u.s. there have been
two blcodess revolutions and the Republic stands,
and there can be nothing else in Brazil

niGcance as affecting that process of retarded de-
yelopment which in the Judgment OF all saga
cious Englshmen will ultimately involve tne
establishment of republican as we'll as democratic

Tranby Croft was trivial incident, but it brought
the Prince of Wales into court and enabled an
honest juryman to crOss-examne him on terms
of equality. The scandal in the Russell house
hold oyerwhelms one Of the great families OF the
State with reproach and dshonor, and at the
same time discredits the aristocratic class whose
legislative functions are nominally, at least CO.
ordinate with the rights of the Commons.
The importance of such disclosures as those
of Tranby Croft and the Russell scandal lies IN
the fact that the mass of the English people who
really govern the Empire, are not ordinarily IN
the way of hearing much about the private lie
and social relaxatiOns of royalty and the upper
classes. The choice gossip that is whispered
cautiously or blurted out with cynical indiffer-

Mr. James McGregor, of McGregor Iowa, has just
distinguished himself in way which deserves
mention His name will not go laundering down
the ages, probably, but it will certainly be long
remembered in McGregor as having belonged &c
the coolest ana most ingenious man that ever lived
in Clayton County.
II happened last Monday that Mr.. McGregor
visited neighboring town on business. The
train on which he returned in the evening tcle-

reach McGregor till after midnight. Mr.. McGpgor
lives in one of the finest houses in the city, in
fashionable street On this occasion he walked
from the station TO his house. arriving at his front
gate just the clock In the steeple OF
ST. Marks Episcopal Church struck one. When
half way up the gravel walk, Mr.. McGregor
saw something at the side Of his house and
stopped under cherry tree to try to make, il
out. He was surprised to see that it was a
