B.UXBRIDOK, Oa., Mat, 1567.
Mr. C. T. Cunningham:
Your letter of the 13th inst., Asking
for some information in regard to Brazil,
came to hand some days ago. 1 was in
Brazil about six wt-eka, And in that
time 1 travelled some two hundred utiles
in the interior, above Santos.
There are three distinct climates in
Brazil. That of the Amazon valley is
altogether tropical, except that there
are no dry and rainy seasons ; the nights
a~e < loudless, but in the morning clouds
accumulate, and continue till the after*
noou, when torrents of rain prevail for
two hours, and all is clear again. The
climnte of the interior, and also of West
Brazil, is more varied—the heat in the
day season being excessive, while frosty
nights are of frequent occurrence. 01
t he climate of the Southern and South
eastern parts I shall give a more minute
description, as districts infinitely more
worthy of attention. These regions are
blessed with the most genial climate in
the world. In the summer months, of
December, January, and February, the
temperature corresponds with that of
Alabama in the months of June, July,
and August, only the heat is not felt to
be so oppressive on account of the sea
breeze near the coast, and the regular
highland winds, which blow in the
upper countries over the plateau. Only
when the winds blow from the north
west, which in the summer seldom
occurs, is the heat oppressive. The
winter and a portion of the spring and
fall are so delightfully tempered, so
adapted to the comforts ol white men,
that mere existence becomes a luxury.
The days then somewhat resemble our
Indian summer, only that the air is
much softer and the trees and shrubs
retain their green foliage during the
year. The provinces comprised in these
salubrious and pleasant districts are
Rio de Janeiro, Santo Paulo, Santo
Catarina, and Santo Pedro do Sul. Rio
lies rather too much northward, and has
a somewhat warmer climate ; but this
delightful climate is eminently enjoyed
by the three last named provinces. All
European vegetables grow most luxu
riantly, and the city markets are at all
seasons well supplied with peas, beans,
asparagus, cauliflowers, cabbage, sweet
potatoes, etc., etc. No country pro
duces such a variety of tropical, and at
the same time, European fruits. The
tnost important of these are the plantain
and banana. This fruit is not like
most other fruits, used merely as an
occasional luxury, but is rather an
established article of subsistence. Being
long and extensively cultivated, it has
diverged iuto numerous varieties, the
fruit of which differs materially in size,
flavor, and color. That of some is not
above two or three inches long, while
that of others is not much short of a
foot; some sorts are sweet and of a
flavor not unlike, nor inferior to that
of a good mellow pear. The latter are
either used fresh or dried in the sun, in
which latter state they are occasionally
ground iuto meal, and made iu'o bread.
The sweeter sorts are frequently pressed
and dried, as figs are in Eurupe, and
while they are not inferior to the last
mentioned fruits, they are infinitely
cheaper.
The pine apple attains the size of a
man's head, and is, perhaps, the most
luscious fruit produced there. Os
oranges there are different species;
they are not of that degenerate kind
generally sold and peddled out in our
country, but have a rich, sweet juice,
which, when the fruit is fully ripe,
resembles honey more than anything
else. The grape comes to the highest
perfection in the cultivated as well as
the wild state. There are localities in
Santo Paulo where the wild grape is
extremely abundant. The vines will
climb up the forest trees, and running
from trunk to trunk, form graceful
festoons, and often bend the saplings
under the weight of their clusters.
These wild grapes, I have no doubt,
would make excellent wine, us they
have a sweet juice, thin skin, and a
small pulp. Apples are not grown in
the country, but are sometimes im
ported from Europe. The Brazilians
esteem them as great a rarcty as we
do pine apples. The peach tree flour
ishes well; still its fruit is inferior
to the North American peach. The
people of the interior eat monkeys, and
esteem the monkey pie a great luxury ;
but I suppose an American would
hardly make an attempt to conquer his
piejudicc against tbe Brazilian diet, so
long as there conld be procured plenty
of other good meat, more familiar to his
palate. Yet is there another dish pecu
liar to Brazil, which the foreigner would
consider still more outlandish and dis
gusting, hut to which, upon trial, the
greatest epicure could not object. This
is furnished by the “ Lagsrto,” an
animal two or three feet long, from
fifteen to twenty pounds in weight, and
of the shape of our common lizard.
The meat is of a pure white, well
flavored and tender. There are five or
six varieties of pheasants, tbe largest
weighing as much as eighteen pounds,
all excellent game birds. The sea
along the coast furnishes an abundance
of fish and oysters, and the coves and
inlets any amount of craw fish (crania
roa). lhe oysters are smaller than the
North America oysters. The Bruzili .t.s
call the large fish, “peacado," ami the
■mailer ones, “peiace.”
Os the domestic animals the most
useful is the mule. This animal not
alone supplies there the want of rail
roads and wagons, in bringing most of
the produce to market, but is more
generally used as a saddle animal than
the horse. Mules are worth from one
hundred tonne hundred and fifty dollars
in gold. No fine horses are raised in
Braxiß Some fine animals are im
ported from the Cape of Good Dope,
and other parts. The cow is much the
same size ns in other countries. Jlow
much milk they give iu comparison to
our cows I cannot say; still, all the
butter consumed iu the country is im
ported from Portugal and England.
Butter is subject to an importation tax
of 13 cents per pound, nnd is retailed at
from (10 to 73 cents per pound in Rio
de Janeiro. Beef ofgood quality is sold
in the cities at from C to 10 cents per
pound. Turkeys and chickens are
raised in great numbers; they form an
important item of Brazilian diet. Os
snakes, bugs, insects, etc., the country
also furnishes its share. A real plague
of the country is the barata, a species
of cock roach. They are very destruc
tive to the timber of houses, and where
the houses are old and neglected they
will soon reduce the posts and rafters to
mere shells, eating all the wood inside.
Bushels of this bug might be collected
out of such old houses. Phosphorus,
when soon enough employed, will cause
them to desert tbeir haunts, and put a
stop to their depredations. There are also
mosquitoes and sand flies, but they are
confined to the coast. The yellow fever
visits every two or three years the citieß
on the sea coast, where it makes con
siderable havoc among the whites and
blacks. In the rare case of sickness
there is always some old woman near,
who, with the aid of herbs and roots,
considers herself equal to the emergen
cy. If all fail—roots, herbs, and old
woman—they resort to crosses and holy
water; and if they also prove unavail
ing, it is manifest that God wills the
patient should die. Even in the cities
the more ignorant people will cause the
priests to make crosses over their doors,
to keep the yellow fever out of their
huuses.
The principal beverage is coffee,
which by some process I am unac
quainted with, is made almost as thick
as syrup. Os this quaint essence of
coffee, as it may be called, one fourth
is added to three parts of boiling cream;
and when this is well sugared you have
a rich beverage that will certainly
gratify your palate. In the public
coffee houses coffee is taken in very
small cups, without cream, and well
sugared. In spite of the warm climate
port wine, aid other heavy wines are
preferred to claret, and the quantities
consumed of the former much exceed
those of the latter.
The meal hours in Brazil are not the
same as ouri. At sunrise the servants
will bring to your bed, on a tray, a bowl
of chocolnt->, coffee with cream, or some
dish made of milk, eggs, sugar, nnd
spice. This refreshment the Brazilian
takes in bed, perhaps an hour before he
dresses. The breakfast is served up at
10 o’clock A. M., and dinner at 4 P.
M., and at 8 P. M. tea is taken, with
perhaps a few slices of cake. Iu the
cities the table is well supplied with
fish and craw fish, besides beef and
fowls. Rice is a never failing dish on
the dinner as well as breakfast table.
An Irishman to whom came secca
I jerked beef) and farina, (mandioca
meal) was served out, complained that
the wretches intended to feed him on
sole leather and saw dust. This man
dioca meal resembles indeed saw 'dust
very much, and although a dish which
is never wanting on the table of the
rich and poor, I never learned to like it.
Other cheap provisions are beans and
pork.
The climate of Brazil is highly favor
able to the cultivation of coffee, the
trees yielding nearly double those of
the VVcst Indies. The plant is an
evergreen, from six to twelve feet high,
and the stem is ten, twelve and fifteen
inches in circumference. When it is full
grown it much resembles in figure an
apple tree of eight or nine years stand
ing. lhe lower branches ordinarily bend
when the tree begins to grow old, and
extend themselves into a round form,
somewhat like an umbrella ; and the
wood is so very limber and pliable that
the ends of the longest branches may
be bent down within two or three feet
of the earth. It continues green all the
year, and the tree is never without
leaves, which are ranged almost oppo
site on each side of the bough, and at a
distance from each other. Nothing is
more singular in its kind than its pro
ductions ; for almost in all seasons
of the year blossoms and green and ripe
fruit may he seen on the same tree at
the same time. When the blossom falls
off, there remains in its room, or rather
springs from each blossom, a small fruit,
green at first, but which becomes red
as it ripens, and is not unlike a large
cherry, and is very good to eat. Under
the flesh of the cherry, instead of the
stone, is found the bean or berry we
call coffee, wrapped round in a thin,
fine skin. The berry is then very soil,
and of a disagreeable tasle ; but as the
cherry ripens the berrj iu the iuside
grows hardor, and the dried up fruit,
being the flesh, or pulp of it, which was
before eatable, becomes a shell or pod
of a deep brown color. The berry is
now solid, and of a clear, transparent
green. Each shell contains one berry,
which splits iuto two equal parts. The
coffee tree is most productive on hills
and slopes where its root it almost
always dry, and its bead frequently
watered with gentle showers. The
plants are inserted at distances of six
or eight feet usunder, and in holes from
twelve to eighteen inches deep, li left
to themselves, they would rise to the
height of sixteen or oighloon feet; but
in extensive plantations the trees are
topped and stunted to nhout five feel,
for the convenience of hnving the fruit
within retch of the gatherer. They
begin to yield fruit the third year. By
the fifth, sixth, or seventh year, accord
ing to the nature of the soil, they are at
full beariug, and continue to bear for
upward of twenty years.
If you should mnke up your mind to
visit Brazil, I would recommend you to
Mr. Bennett, an intelligent Englishman,
who hns erected a boarding honse about
eight miles from Rio (the place called
Tijuca). It is not advisable to carry
much baggage; several articles will
prove nearly worthless,' such as heavy
clothing for instance ; and many goods
can be bought ns cheap in that country
as in the United States.
I visited the American settlement,
aliout forty miles from Campenas, and
found a great many Americans. They
were busy doing nothing, but were
determined to make the best of their
condition, blessed as they are with the
possession of land that the world can’t
beat. Those that remain there will
have to contend with all those troubles
incident to the frontier life: remoteness
from market, with imperfect roads and
no vehicles for transportation of sup
plies, packed mules being mostly used.
I only saw one plantation in the Amer
ican settlement properly cultivated, and
that belonged to Mr. H. Hall, of Co
lumbus, and Mr. Daniels of Alabama.
They had a good crop ; the Cotton, I
was told by Mr. Daniels, would produce
a bale and a half to the acre.
There is no doubt about the soil and
climate suiting the people of the South.
The free negroes have the same politi
cal rights as whites; then the negro
custom house and police officers are
very arrogant and superciilious ; while
the whites are immoral, licentious,
shameless, and woefully corrupt; hav
ing no more respect for worn in than for
any female animal of a lower order, to
an extravagant appreciation.
Ido not think it is the country for
the American people, and I, for one,
have got well of the Brazil fever, and
perfectly satisfied to. remain in the
United States, where every prospect
pleases, and only man is viie. Yours,
truly, VV. G. D. Tuxge.

"Disappointed Hopes ”
Mr. Editor : The ridiculous grimaces
of the Constitutionalist at the back
wardness of the President in upsetting
General Pope and other Military Com
manders, contributed vastly to the
“divarsiou” of a large portion of our
humorously inclined citizens. The
response to every shot of that paper as
soon ns the smoke clears awav, is “No
body Hurt 1” Its activity in hunting up
sickly consolation for those who hang
upon its words beats the “industrious
fleas I” It is in a horrid state of sus
pense. It sweats at every pore, and
oh I the smell thereof 1! Such a tre
mendous outpouring of wratbthas not
been heard since the day when Bom
bastes Furioso uttered his awful obju
ration against the individual wbo.should
dare to displace his boots.
Looking at the fun ahead, we are
reminded of the fable of the boys and
the frogs. Remember, the Constitu
tionalist. is one of the frogs. f!!
