PARA, Brazil, Sept 10, 1s92-TSpecial
correspondence of THE HERALD. The
great annual s.Corteja,'' during the days OF
the empire was the chief social event of
the year in every city. Up TO the last few
months Of pretended republication, corte-
Jas always occurred on Dom Pedro's birth
day, and might also be given on every
anniversary of his ascension to the throne,
or on the natal days OF any member OF the
royal family, from away back TO Pedro l,
or grandfather King Joao-as pleasure
loving folk in the United States celebr ate
Washington's birthday, Saint Patrick's s,
the Fourth of July and divers other occa-
sions, by balls, ct cetera But in Brazil
there is deal more aummery about it. and
decidedly more of man-worshlp than would
be tolerated In the land of the free. 1t was
well enough when the kind old emperor
himself received the homage Of his people;
but In places remote from the capital,
where he wss obliged to receive il by
proxy. so 10 speak, the ceremonies wer
almost barbaric.
CELEBRATION OF THE EMPRESS BIRTHDAY
II is only q very little time "a few days
before the recent fall OF the empire) that
q ceremonious corteja was held in this en-
lightened city OF Para IN honor OF Empress
T5eresa's birthday. The president of the
province issued deliberately gotten-up in
vitstions bidding all the foreign consuls
and local authorities Gnd church dignitaries
and prominent citizens generally; and the
failure of an invited person to attend
would have been looked upon rs eQuiva-
lent to declaring himself at ''outs" with
the ruling powers. According TO universal
custom on these gala days the consuis ap-
pear in their uniforms, the president and
officers of the army and navy ia full regi-
mentals, the archbishop in his robes,
priests In the habits of their respective
orders, judges in their sombre toggery,
members OF the corporation in their quaint
dresses and the crowd Of civilians in black
dress suits decorated with all the badges
and stars and crosses and ribbons they
could muster for the occasion, whether
earned, Inherited or borrowed.
AS usual the ceremony began with TIE
Deum in the cathedral; after which the
gorgeous but motley assemblage marched
IN solemn procession 10 the ..Palacio,n
headed by q military band playing ra-
tioual airs. Arrived at the palace, the
president led the way UP a flight of stairs
and paused before a heavy curtained door.

ANTE ROOM ECHOES.
A Rather Quite Week in Which
Routine Work Pred0minated.
The l. O. o. F. Grand Lodge Meets This Week
Activity Amongst the K. Of p
Work in Other orders.

The week just closed was not very
active one in the fraternal orders. The
political situation has grown so interesting
that it seems to absorbe all the spare time
of many of the devotees who usually
worship at the mystic shrines, and as s con-
sequence the work was mostly confined to
routine business.
