MISCELLANEOUS.
THE EMPEROR OF BRAZIL.
A MONARCH WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN FUSS
AND FEATHERS.
The Arrival of Dom Pedro d'Alcantara—His
Escape from Secretaries Fish, Robeson, and
Taft —A Public Reception Most Emphati
cally Declined—Sensible and Quiet.
Dom Pedro 11., Emperor of Brazil, his wife
and suite, breakfasted on board the Hevelius.
off Long Branch, Saturday morning, and
at 12 o’clock noon were passing Sandy Hook.
Ihe American public have been extensively
informed within the past few days that Dom
Pedro de Alcantara had expressed a most
emphatic wish to be permitted to travel
through this country without being annoyed
by the attentions that are paid to the mon
archs of great empires. In Brazil the Em
peror is noted for his indisposition to public
display. He has repeatedly declined ovations
in his own country, and has no desire to be
publicly received outside of his domains.
This fact has frequently been announced to
President Grant and his Cabinet, and Mayor
Wickham was informed by the Brazilian Min
ister that Mr. Alcantara would be very much
displeased should any public demonstrations
be attempted. Therefore it might have been
fully understood that the Emperor was enti
tled to quietly enter the city and roam about
at will. President Grant seems not to have
comprehended the urgent requests of the
Emperor, and, therefore, he conferred with
Secretaries Fish, Robeson, and Taft. It is
said that Mr. Taft suggested that Dom Pedro
should not be interfered with. Mr. Fish
hinted that the reputation of the State De
partment was at stake, and that he must offi
cially receive the monarch. Secretary Ro
beson steadied himself on his left foot and
shouted through his fat hands, “Aye, aye,
sir,” and it was settled that the three Secre
taries should make haste to this city 1 ' and in a
manner befitting the greatness of the country
smile upon Dom Pedro, and extend the offi
cial hand of the United States.
It was doubtful whether the imperial party
would arrive Saturday, Monday, or within a
week, yet the three Secretaries were not dis
satisfied with their rooms in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. They wore brand new shining silk
hats, and smiled when they approached the
hotel office. Secretary Robeson retired ear
ly. Previous to turning the key in his cham
ber door, lie gave instructions to the gentle
men who preside in the office not to receive
the cards of any newspaper representatives.
He sent imperative orders to Vice-Admiral
Rowan, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, not to
permit a reporter to boar! either of the ves
sels in the yard, and under no circumstances
to have aught to do with newspaper men in
general.
AT THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.
At seven Saturday morning the atmosphere
was heavy with mystery. Vice-Admiral Row
an, in the full uniform of his rank, was up
betimes, and he solemnly paraded in front of
his headquarters. A youthful officer in anew
uniform, and with an uncertain stare, wan
dered in the neighborhood. The sloop-of
war Alert was steaming up ready to come to
this city and take as its precious freight down
the bay the three Secretaries who passed the
night at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. “No, sir,”
firmly said the brave old Admiral when the
Sun reporter confronted him, “you cannot go
down the bay with us.”
The Alert started for Twenty-third street,
and the Admiral took command of his steam
launch and splashed out into the river. The
Admiral was suffering from a severe sore
throat, and his voice was very husky, when
he said “Good morning” to the Sun reporter.
The Alert was in the North river off Twenty
third street at eight o’clock in the morning.
Secretaries Fish, Taft, and Robeson, and
Major-Gen. Hancock, the latter in full uni
form, wearing a cocked hat of most imposing
pattern, took carriages to the pier, and were
then conveyed in a tug to the war vessel.
A light breakfast was offered the distin
guished gentlemen, but they ate with much
delicacy, Secretary Robeson preferring the
morning air. The Sun reporter proudly sail
ed by the war ship and went down the bay.
At Quarantine Dr. Vanderpoel's deputy. Dr.
Thompson, was apprised of the fact that the
Hevelius carrying the imperial company, was
just outside the Hook. The guns of Forts
Wadsworth and Hamilton were packed with
ammunition sufficient, when turned loose, to
create disturbance in the bay.
THE SHIP SIGHTED.
“That’s the ship,” remarked Dr. Thomp
son, as he pointed to a large vessel which had
just shown itself inside the Hook. The ves
sel moved slowly along and passed the forts.
The Brazilian flag was flying at her fore, yet
none of the guns had been deprived of their
contents until five minutes after the ship
passed. Upon the invitation of the Health
Officer the reporter stepped aboard the tug
and went to the ship. Dora Pedro deAlcan
tara was resting on the gun-wale of the Heve
lius and was fondling a small pair of opera
glasses. He was mistaken for the captain of
the ship from the fact that he wore a cap
something like those worn by commanders in
the merchants’ service. He stood at the gang
way when the Health Officer and the reporter
boarded the ship, and he cordially greeted
those gentlemeu. Dom Pedro seems to be
nearly sixty years of age, yet he says he is
but fifty-one. His hair is gray and cut close
ly. *ud he wears a gray beard and moustache.
He is deficient in teeth in his upper jaw, and
his articulation is consequently marred. He
does not speak the English languhge fluently,
and might be mistaken for a German who
was making desperate attempts to master the
language of this country. He is tall and has
a well-rounded stomach. He is not flesh}*
and his complexion has not a health}* hue.
His features are decidedly intellectual and
he is remarkably observant of all that is
transpiring near him. He wears plain black
broadcloth, the coat being buttoned close
under his chin. A not scrupulously neat
black neck tie was visible from above the
coat collar. The black cap of small depth
and the large visor was most conspicuous in
his dress. He seemed to have no especial
affection for any of the passengers, but treat
ed all with the utmost civility, and was as
familiar with the subordinate officers of the
ship as he was with the others. The Empress
was in the cabin talking with some of her
lady acquaintances. She is much smaller in
stature than the Emperor and is old-fashioned
and staid. She wears her iron-gray hair in
the pasted-down style of many years ago.
Her countenance is pale and sad, probably
through illness. She wore a plain drab dress
and a fancifully embroidered neck tie. She
is lame in one of her limbs, and moves about
with much exertion. She is an agreeable
conversationalist, and was profuse in her in
quiries concerning America and the Ameri
cans. She is by no means a butterfly of fash
ion. She comes to this country with the es
pecial hope that her health may be benefitted-
THE ALERT AND ITS CARGO.
In fifteen minutes afterward the Alert,
with a superabundance of flags, hove in sight.
Alongside was Admiral Rowans steam launch.
Through the Emperor’s glas9 the reporter
discerned a man wearing a huge cocked hat,
epaulettes, and gold bands on his pantaloons,
frantically rushing up and down the narrow
passage way alongside the engine room of the
tug. The sailors on the Alert were in their
finest trim, and they manned the yards as
the vessel passed the Hevelius. Thirteen
guns were fired by the Alert and the flag of
the Hevelius was Hipped in acknowledgement
of the salute. The Brazilian sailor who stood
by the flag laughed so heartily that he was
reprimanded. The reporter asked him the
occasion of his laughter, and the sailor re
plied, “Look at those fellows manning the
yards. That’s the worst I ever saw. Such
work as that would disgrace a merchant ship.”
The Alert steamed near the Staten Island
shore, and the three Secretaries, with Major-
Gen. Hancock and Vice-Admiral Rowan,
were taken into a tug and thence to the Heve
lius. The Emperor had been informed by
his Minister that the three Secretaries intend
ed to invite him to accompany them to the
city, and he said very boldly, “ I weel not
go.”
When the tug was making fast to the ves
sel the Emperor was in conversation with the
Sun reporter. “I weesh to know where is
Mistaire Longfellow,” said the Emperor.
The reporter replied that the illustrious poet
was probabty in Massachusetts. “Y'aas,
} r aas,” said the Emperor, as though his mem
ory had been refreshed. “He is in Cam
bridge.” “ Prof. Agassiz was a great friend
of mine,” he continued. “lie was a good
man. I would like to see his people.”
His Majesty made inquiries about New
York and its business facilities, and was
seemingh’ becoming deepH’ interested when
lie espied a man with side whiskers attached
to a flabby face, and with a small red spot
about the size of a niekle on both sides of his
nose. The man had just reached the topmost
step of the gang way. His brown overcoat
was crumpled and dusty, and the nap of his
new silk hat was much disarranged.
“ MISTAIRE FEKSII.”
The Emperor looked at him; then pointed
at him, and nudging the reporter, said, in in
credulous tones, “Is that Mistaire Feesh ?’’
The reporter confessed that it was. “Mistaire
Feesh ?” said Dom Pedro, looking at the
Brazilian Minister, and Mr. Borges smiled.
Then the jolly old tar, the rollicking, frolic
some Secretar3' of the Nav3% Secor Robeson,
showed his top lights above the steamer’s
deck. Robeson felt a spirit of sadness com
ing over him when he beheld the fact that
notwithstanding his endeavors to shut out
the reporters from the festive scene that a
representative of The Sun was on deck, and
ready to announce his coming. Mr. Robeson
is nothing if not original, therefore he braced
himself against the gunwale and his face al
ternately exhibited streaks of red and blue,
so great was his anxiety to favorably impress
the Emperor. Secretaiy Taft was quiet and
almost forgotten. Gen. Hancock, in his gor
geous uniform, added brilliancy to the spec
tacle, and Vice-Admiral Rowan seemed ill at
ease as he stood encased in his gorgeous uni
form. The Emperor looked with astonish
ment upon the attitude of the party, and was
about to extend the good hand of fellowship
when Secretary Fish, advanced to him and in
tremulous tones began, “The President of the
United States has deputed the Secretary of
War, the Secretary of State, and the Secreta
ry of the Navy, accompanied by a Vice-Ad
miral of the Navy and a Major-General of the
Arm}% to congratulate your Imperial Majesty
upon your arrival on these shores.”
“That's all right,” interrupted Dom Pedro,
“that's all right, Mr. Feesh,” and the Empe
ror held out his hand to the Secretary of State,
but Mr. Fish was in a hurry to finish his
speech, and he continued :
“He (the president) directs us to congratu
late you upon the safe termination of your
voyage, and to tender—”
“ That's all right,” again interrupted the
Emperor.
Mr. Fish then continued : “to tender his
welcome in behalf of the people of the United
States. He anticipates a personal interview
with you upon your visit to the seat of gov
ernment.*’
“ That's all right,” said the Emperor loud
er than before, and he captured the hand of
the Secretary, and thus finished the speech.
A SAD BCENF.
“Your Majesty,” said Mr. Fish, “Mr. Ro
beson Secretary of the Navy.”
Secor opened his starboard eve and smiled.
Then he bowed and shook hands with the
Emperor. Sectetary Taft graciously acknowl
edged the greeting and retired.
Gen. Hancock loomed up behind Mr. Taft,
and Secretary Fish said “Your Majesty, Ma
jor-Gen. Hancock.'’
“ Earn stock ?*’ gasped Dom Pedro.
“Hancock,” said Mr. Fish, with emphasis.
“Oh. Haneoke. yaas,yaas, 1 should remem
ber that. John Haneoke. yaas, yaas,” and
the Emperor chuckled.
Vice-Admiral Rowan, gloomy and weary,
was introduced, and then the party stood as
though lost in wonder. The Emperor turned
on his heel, and said to the reporter, “So that
is Mistaire Feesh.” The reporter answered
His Majesty that the Secretary of State stood
in his presence.
Mr. Fish recovered his presence of mind
after a few seconds rest and said to the Em
peror, “We would be pleased to have you go
with us on our vessel, we would.”
“Excuse me, Mr. Feesh,” and the Emperor
spoke very hurriedly, “but I do not weesh to
go. I shall go in this ship to its pier.
The three Secretaries were discomfited,
and Secretary Robeson dreamily cast his lar
board eye over the waters. Then he took a
reef in his overcoat, and remarked to Mr.
Fish that it was time to start. The three
Secretaries, with Gen. Hancock and Admiral
Rowan, shook hands with the Emperor, and
then descended the gangway to the tug. The
Emperor gave vent to a sigh of relief when
they had gone. The mariners on the Alert
supposed that the returning tug, bearing the
three Secretaries, also carried Dom Pedro,
and they prepared to display themselves.
The band from the Navy Yard was astir on
the deck of the Alert. The brass horns
were on a level with the musicians' noses,
when Secretary Robeson dashed out of the
pilot-house of the tug and shouted, “Stop the
music.”
IN TIIE BAY.
The Hevelius weighed anchor and started
up the bay. The Alert was ahead and was
saluted by the man-of-war Minnesota and the
Brazilian frigate, it being supposed by the
commanders of those vessels that he was on
board the Alert. The Emperor noticed the
flags on the shipping and saidtothe reporter,
“Why do they fly the flags to-day?” The
reporter suggested that an Emperor was in
the harbor, and Dom Pedro changed the sub
ject.
The vessel landed at Martin’s pier in
Brooklyn. The Emperor bade adieu to many
of his fellow passengers, and with his wife
descended the gangway. A squad of police
were in waiting to keep back the crowd of
men and boys who were pressing on to the
pier. The Empress stepped with much dis
comfort, and when she reached the carriage
she was unable unassisted to enter it.
“ A chair,” said the Emperor, authorita
tively, “a chair for ray wife,” and an express
man carried the seat of his wagon to the car
riage and placed it so that the Empress might
step upon it. Then the Emperor and a
friend helped her in the coach, and they were
driven away, followed by their suite in coach
es. The party quietly crossed the Fulton
ferry and went direct to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. A large crowd was in waiting at the
foot of Twenty-third street, expecting the ar
rival of the Emperor on the Alert, but the
people merely gazed upon three angry mem
bers of President Grant’s Cabinet, and dar
ed not ask for Dom Pedro.
country shopkeeper said: “Here,
my, friend, those balls of butter I bought of
you last week all proved to be just three
ounces short of a pound.” And the farmer
innocently answered: “Well, I don’t see
how that couid be, for I used one of your
pound bars of soap for a weight.”
RPIIe believed in practical religion and
so in the course of his sermon took occasion
to remark : 4 Now I want to say a word to

an’ go right home. Don’t stand round lookin’
wha’ you can find a little coffee or a little
suga’ or a little somethin’ else to put in yo’
pocket. Go right home when yo’s done got
frew dat washin.’
PF*They were sitting together, he and she,
and he was arduously thinking what to say.
Finally he burst out with, “In this land of
noble aceievements and undying glorj\ wh}"
is it that women do not come more to the
front; why is it tnat they do not climb the
ladder of fame P* “ I suppose, said she, put
ting her finger in her mouth, “it is on account
of their pullbacks.” And then she sighed
and he sighed, side by side.
