Visit of Dom Pedro RecalIed.
The forthcoming visit Of the next
president of Brazil naturally recalls
the visit OF the last emperor of that
country Dom Pedro II. From chron-
icles OF the time. 1t Is noted that the
emperor the empress and their suite
leaving the princess imperial TO act
as regent of the empire, sailed for
New York on the merahant steamship
Hegelius. arriving at New York April
Is, 1876. The emperor was the only
monarch who had ever visited this
country up TO that time, and his
grandfather. Don Joa OF Portugal
was the only legitimately crowned
European p9tentate who had ever
placed foot on the continent Of Am
erica.
As In his European trip, which he
had made a year or two before, the
emperor treyeled incognito as priv
ate citizen, coming as he said. as
"the first citizen of Brazil to be
present at the Centennial exposition
which was the celebration Of the close
of century OF freedom in great
constitutional country. and TO aid
in representing the products and the
industries OF the second nation on the
American continent. Indeed, he felt
that representation Of Brazil at the
great exposition was OF far more and
exceeding" Importance than demon

the empress and their suite took their
places with the diplomatic corps and
cabinet. and after the opening of the
exposition the emperor accepted the
invitation OF President Grant to ac-
company the latter around the build
ing. Jointly they pressed the small
lever which started the great corliss
engine. which furnished power 10 the
vast quantity OF machinery on exhibi
ton.
After this, the emperor traversed
the country from New York TO Sar
Francisco. and from the Great Lakes
to the Gulf lie spent sixteen hours
day sightseeing and investigating
everything Of interest. He left thu
