named town was chosen by old Dom Pedro as
. summer residence for the imperial family,
but although he bought an enormous estate
there at the time, the first actual visit Of roy
atty to the place did not occur until quarter
Of q century later.
Petropolis lies Just beyond the summit Of
the Sierra dos Orgoas, Organ mountains"
whose dark peaks ascending in regular SCALE
like the pipes Of an organ. are sharply outlined
against the dim blue horizon to the north of
Rio. Being in the upland region Of cloudy
days and cool nights, where yellow fever never
comes nor the almost as much dreaded pest of
mosquitoes, il has become the summer paradise
of oil those Rio Janeiroans whose worldly cir
cumstanees permit them to flee from the heat,
dust and vile smells of the annually plague
stricken city. Thither the imperial household
used 70 go in the early days Of November-as
the presidents and their families will do while
Brazil calls herself a republic-immediate
followed by all the ENJOYS extraordinary and
ministers plenipotentiary.
SUMMER COURT AT PxIRoPoIrs.
Thus fashion. as well as health, depends upon
staying away from Rio during certain sea-

quite as gay and imposing as that Of the win
ter at the capital. During about seven months
Of every year the place is crowded to over
flowing. Government officials. officers of the
army and navy, professional men. merchants.

BUSY SHIP YARDS OF THE MARINE ARSENAL.
Just below Sar Bento HILL on the right-hand
side, are the busy ship yards of the marine
arsenal. and on the left the long line of enor-
nous stone houses belonging to the Dom Pedro
ii docks. These are among the most important
of the city's public works. The quays have an
extension of nearly 500 yards and their covered
piers are 1903 yards long. The company that
owns the big store houses enjoys a monopoly
in the matter of shipping coffee, though but a
small portion OF it is done directly from pier to
vessel Beyond these quays is enormous
dry dock cut out Of solid rock The first island
on the left is Santa Barbara, which is used for
hospital purposes during frequent epidemics
of smallpox. The scenery becomes more varied
and charming-the islands too numerous to be
named-and ones attention is continually at
tracted from the peculiar grouping of the
heights behind the city to the massive peaks of
the Sierra dos Orgoas in front.

which Is oHe vast plantation twelve miles long

VERY FOND OF Mrsrc,

VERY FOND OF Music.
NJ. Aalsck WAS very fond Of music, and at
his desire two quite young ladies closed ,he
evening with pretty concerted piece upon the
piano. He took the early train for Guilford
next morning. and I did not enjoy the oppsr-
tunity of seeing him again for several DAYS,
but soon had the pleasure Of accompanying
him on Q fishing excursion upon the sound
He was o most entertaining companion on such
An occasion, as may readily be supposed.
l CHANGED to see much Of Mr.. Halleck
during the month OF my summer sojourn at
Stony Creek and invariably found HIM the same
consistently cheerful and charitable nature
that nay first impressions Of him had led me to
believe him. His memory Was q rich mine of
anecdote. Renaissance and observation. He
had known many eminent and notable persons
His estimate of them was sngularly correct
and his description OF character was uniformly
graphic, though uncritical and uncensorious,
and in some instances highly amusing in its
witty colering.
Fitz- Green, Halleck passed peacefully away
at his home in Guilford. some years after NV
felicitous friendship with him, at u cen old
age and leaving behind him fame forever
fragrant with the sweetness OF kindiness
cheeriness and nobility of nature. He was a
fine man as well as true poet.
