EASY-GOING SLAVERY.
Features or Gradual I mancipation in
Broil).
Fro™ (As .Voir York Trihun*.
Rio pe Jankiko, Feb. 7.—One at the
Bast gratifying evi(lei:*'<*s of the self-con
trol of the Brazilian* aid their ability to
work out their ovn political salvation is
the manner in which they are gradually
freeing the slaves. Those who most ear
nestly desire the extinction of slavery are
the intelligent slave-owners themselves.
It is true, ali>, on tr.e other baud, that
the moat active opposition to abolition
comes (rom slave-owners, from thos> who
have a large share of negro blood in tbeii
own veins. On tbe plantations of the in
terior slave labor is the only kino of labor
to be had to any extent, and the great
problem with tbe coffee-growers is w hat
tedo for laborers wnen slavery is hpally
abolished. I was ta'king tne other day
with a planter of Minas, who has .WO
slaves on bis plantation and would be
ruined if slavery were suddenly abolish
ed. He was angry with me Emperor for
signing a decree prolonging slavery for
ten years. Every possible law to circum
scribe and diminish the evils of slavery
has been passed until tbe master seems
to have no rights wuich tbe slave is bound
to res|>ect. There is no way in which an
owner can make a slave work for him if
the slave objects. The result is that in
tbe cities theslave takes care of himself,
works when he wants to and gels what
be am. the only sign of his bondage being
that he pays to hie owner a small weekly
tribute oat of his earnings. On the plan
tations where the operation of new laws
is not soon felt ana custom and tradition
are everything, the owner can indeed get
a fair amount ol work out of bis slaves.
But even on the plantations tbe slaves
ore more like vassals of a feudal baron
than tbe slaves of the South before tbe
war. It olten ousts more to take a slave
from one province to anotber than tbe
slave is worth, a large sum being forfeit
ed to the government lor every slave so
removed. Notwithstanding this, such is
the scarcity of labor that it costs a great
deal to buy a slave. A slave can purchase
his freedom, however, or someone can
purchase it for him, at an extremely low
figure set by law.
There is a large and active abolition so-
ciety in liio and branches all over tbe
country. This society Is constantly buy
ing tbe freedom ot slaves and in tbe cities
slaves are constantly buying their owu
liberty, so that wben the ten years which
tbe Emperor has set as the bounds of sla
very shall have expired, few slaves will
be left to be liberated. Already one prov
ince, Ceara, is denuded of slaves and the
inhabitants take great credit to them
selves therefor and are never tired of
boasting about It. They have boasted so
mueh and held such jubilees of thanks
giving, singing Te Deums In their church
es and all that sort ol thing, that they
have excited the jealousy of other Brazil
ians, who darkly hint that in the interior
of this self-righteous province some slaves
yet remain. Every child born of slave
parents in Brazil is tree and. of oourse,
no slaves are allowed to be brought into
the country. A child boro of slave par
ents has to be taken care of by the owner
of its parents until it is old enough to take
care ol itself.
Beyond the abolition of slavery looms
up in Brazil the question of labor. There
can be but one solution of tbe problem,
and that is immigration. How to attract
this la what is now absorbing tbe minds
of tbe statesmen. Tbe labor of the liber
ated slaves and their descendants will
never be sufficient for tbe needs of tbe
country. They are by nature the most
lazy and worthless laborers in tbe world,
and have a disposition to leave the plan
tations and flock to the cities of the sea
coast. There they work just enough to
keep themselves alive, aud as long as
they can get raw farina and casasch are
happy.
One great drawback to immigration to
Brazil is tbe bad reputation for health
which the country has in Europe. The
northern seaport towns are undoubtedly
unhealthy, but in the south of tbe empire
and in tbe interior tbe climate is as
healthful as could be wished. Still, the
horror with which yellow fever is regard
ed and the difficulty of making immi
grants understand the vast size oi the em
pire and its consequent variety of cli
mates, render the workot attracting them
here difficult. The Argentines owe
their great prosperitv to the constant tide
ofimmigratioß which re flowing to their
shores, and tbe Brazilians claim that Ar
gentine agents abroad omit no opportuni
ty'or scruple at no means to divert immi
grants iron Kio to Buenos Avres.
A “grand lottery” was held here in De
cember in aid ot the emancipation fund.
A large amount of money was realized
and tbe capital prize of $150,000 was
drawn by a poor mechanic in Santos. The
emancipation fund is a government af
fair, and is augmeated by certain tines
and taxes accruing because of slavery
and by authorized lotteries. It is devoted
to purchasing the liberty of slaves. As
in all South American countries tbe ne
groes ol Brasil have a strong disposition
to return to savagory. Civilization seems
to have taken hut a slight hold on them.
In a thousand little ways they preserve
the habits and traditions ot their ances
tors. The strange wild soDgs and dances
which their fathers indulged in wt Africa
and which they still preserve, are only
outward signs ol an innate savagery over
which civilization has uot been aole to
obtain a mastery. 1 have seen often in
the coast towns negroes whose faces were
mere masses ot scars from wounds which
had been systematically self-inflicted in
order that the negro might show in bis
faoe wnat his tribe and station was after
the manner of his ancestors. A friend told
ms that once walking m Bara hu saw an
aged negro ol gigantie stature and mines-
Uj bearing coming down the street. The
street was full of negroes, and as the old
mao came along they all tell on their
knees and bowed tbsir foreheads to the
dust, 'tears tell from the eves of tbe ob
it 01 °Ji belr devotion as, with the air wor
thy of Francis at Pavia or Napoleon tak
ing leave sf the Old Guard, he passed on
dtasppeared. It was ascertained
fast the old man was once a great war
™r ktotfin Atrica and was, moreover, a
faiiob man” of wondrous power. In

HOCLKKY AMONG THE “ARIK
AHAS.- ’
The Ceremonies In the Hatred l.otlgs—
Has Gull and Puppet. Trtcka.
From the Bs<* York ft era Id,
it is tcldora that one meets witb any
Special form of entertainment among in
(liana save abuniuniatlc and other mystic
oeremonlea, wbicb are part of tbe rites
performed In connection with making
ram, exercising evil spirits, etc., but
among tbe Arlkara Indians of Northern
Dakota tbere survives a custom of giving
a public entertainment each year, which
cause* the .fathering of friendly Indians
from all directions. The ceremony takes
place during August and September, and
after continuing for six weeks terminates
lu ahum btuika. The young, muu and war*
I riorsamong nearly all tribesof the great
p 1 mios organize themselves into bunds lor
mutual amusement, dancing and toast
ing, to while away tbs long, dreary win
ter evenings. due of these bands of
\rinara braves numbers but ten ortwelve
individuals of acknowledged prowesb,
spil appe.i is to consist of candidates tor
futmi re -ognition as shamans or "mtdi
-1 cm- meu." As they progress in the art
of deception it is necessary to impress
the balance ot tbe tribe with their us
: sunied mystic powers and to secure for
themselves the necessary amount of su
perstitious veneration tor future success
in becoming leaders in the tribe.
The “Sacred Lodge” ol the Arikara is a
round dirt lodge, with dome shaped roof,
resembling a huge inverted bushel basket.
It measures about 50 feet in diameter and
from 15 to 1* feet high, and has a large
opening at the top lor the escape of smoke.
There is only one door, facing the east,
and this is directly opposite the point of
the interior at which the band is sta
tioned. in the middle of the lodge are and
] upright trunks o! cottonwood trees, serv
ing as pillars for the roof. The posts are
arranged three on a side, thus forming an
oblong square, between which, on the
ground floor, a fire Is kept burning more
for light than for heat, although the even
ings at this latitude beef me decidedly
chilly at this season of the year. At
tached to the*e posts and around tbe
sides of tbe lodge, are numerous candles
wbicii shed just sufficient light to add to
tbe weirdness of thescene. Thatqusrter
of the interior next to tbe door is reserved
for the audience, the old men and women
taking the first two rows of seats —on the
ground—tbe succeeding ones being taken
by the first comers. Toe space around
the wall of the lodge is appropriated by
the young Indian blonds and boys, who
usually manage to create considerable
merriment during the awkward intervals,
which are not infrequent. The crier of
the tribe mounts the roof of the Sacred
i-odge each afternoon, and in a doleful,
monotonous soug announces the pro
gramme lor the evening of that day.
When sunset approaches the members of
the band enter the structure and prepare
for the evening. An orchestra of two
drummers, two male singers and two wo
men noted for shrill voices occupies a po
sition on the right side of the floor, and at
tbe proper time drumming begins in a
very faint tone, gradually increasing in
intensity, when the singers join in. There
may be one or two preliminary songs be
fore the membe.rs of tne band rise from
their places and advance toward the cen
tral tire, where t uef form a semi-circle
and dance, keeping time to the beating of
the drums.
THU SEA GULL TRICK.
Then a voting brave advances bearing a
long pole before him which is surmounted
by a stuffed sea gull. His companions
dance around him excitedly, singing
loudly and accompanied by the hired
singers. All of a sudden there is an in
stant of silence, when the bird’s spirit
can be heard, tbe voiee issuing apparent
ly from the mouth of the gull. Then, us
a murmur of approbation notifies tbe
daucers that tbs trick is successful, it Is
repeated. Upon close examination It Is
found that a thin reed tube extends from
the brave’s mouth to the pole, that tbe
pole is hollow, and that a small whistle
has been inserted in the top, immediately
under the bird.
THKrLPHET DANCE.
Another triok consists In swallowing a
large bullet and having it removed from
the back. The pomme blanche, or Indian
turnip, is made to grow in the earthen
, floor of tbe lodge, though it is almost
| needless to say that these have been
| planted there during tbe day of the per
formance. A small puppet, representing
an Indian, probably 0 inches in height, is
placed cn the floor before the daucers, and
after considerable drumming and singing
the image begins to bob up and down in
unison with tbe music. One dancer
takes a rod and passes it above and behind
tbe figure, to show that no strings exist
wner-by its movements can be governed.
Finally all of tne dancers run around so
as to cross the fire, each time resting upon
the burning branches a few moments,
though not leng enough to scorch the
moccasins.
CLOSING f KRKMONIES.
Tbe closing exercises have been thus
described:
“When the last day of the festival
(Sunday) cams tbe roofs of almost everv
habitation in sight of tbe plaza before tbe
Snored Lodge were crowded witb specta
tors, as none were admitted on that day
save those taking part in the bunting
scenes. First appeared a man represent
ing a duck, being covered witb articles of
clotbing made of duck skins stitched to
gether. As ha issued trorn tbe door of
the lodge be passed into tbe next house—
tbe residence of a shaman—where be tar
ried a short time. As be again started to
visit tbe next bouse tbe duck hunters
issued from the door of the sacred lodge
and followed his trail. The duck imitated
the voice of the bird represented,
while the hunters passed through many
amusing evolutions in their searcb. So
the bunt continued round the circle of 6
or 8 dwellings and back to tbe point of de
parture.
“Tben the rabbit appeared and passed
over the same ground, similarly pursued
by hunters armed witb bows and arrows.
The rabbit was almost without covering
ssve tbe blotches of gray and white clay
with which his body was besmeared, fie,
instead of returning to the sacred lodge,
ran to tbe middle of the plaza, where he
bopped about and finally squatted in a
cluster of sage brush, which had previ
ously been placed tbere. When tbe hunt
ers espied bint oue of them drew his ar
row and shot him through the bodv.
Then two women esme forth from a side
lodge, removed the arrow, when plenty of
blood (?) appeared, and after a lew min
utes’ careful pow-wowing the rabbit was
restored to life.
**A similar fate awaited the buffalo,
though this animal was shot with a bullet
instead of an arrow. He wus carried
upon the roof of tbu sacred lodge and
there restored. Hunting the owl, the bear
aua tbe wolf, besides other game animals,
was also illustrated in nearly the same
manner.’’
These ceremonies complete tbe festi
val, the Indians return to their respective
houses and almost beggar themselves in
entertaining their frleDds from a dis
tauoe.
A Famous French Fortune-Teller.
From the London World.
Desbaroiles. the fortune-teller, died on
Thursday at the age of 86. Desbaroiles
whs originally a painter of ceuniderable
talent, and it was during a journey in
Spain with tbu elder Dumas that he be
gin to etudr fortune-telling under the
guidance of Gypsies. Finally he aban
: dimed painting, studied divination by tbe
i lines of the hand more deeply, and'pro
i claimed it to be a veritable science based
j upon physiology. This theory he raaln
taiued in books, lectures and statements
I before learned societies. For tbe last
| thirty years he has lived comfortably by
1 chiromancy and graphology, and loould
cite many well-known people In i'arls
