THE BRAZIUAN EMPEROR IN WASHIVGTON. Tbe Emperor of Brazil arrived in the city, with his suite, yesterday morning, and reg! tered at the Arlington hotel as Due de Bra- ganza, his family name. He was met at the depot by Senor Borges, the Brazilian minis- ter. The Emperor attended St. Matthew's (Catholic) Chureh yesterday morning. Ih the afternoon he visite! the Capitol, and spent the evening at the National Ovserva- tory in company with the Braziliaa minister and Professor Newcomb. AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, Tbe Emperor and suite arose early th! morning and visited the Smithsonian Insti- tntion before breakfast. They returned to the hotel and breakfasted abogt ten o'clock, atter which they visited the Capitol. AT THE WHITE Hous. Ata quarter of 1 o'clock the Emperor, ac- companied by the Brazilian minister and suite, called at the Executive mansion and Nwere at once ushered into the blue parlor. The President soon appeared, accompanisd by the Secretary of State. Secretary Fish made the formal introductions, and after the usual expressions of pleasure at meeting they P led to the red parlor, where Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Fish, and Mrs. Fred. Grant were in waiting. Here the whole party en- aged in &@ very pleasant conversation,which asted over half an hour. Tne visit was a purely social one, and ali the formalities usually incident to the reception of royalty were done away with. After bidding adien to the President and family, the Imperial party entered their carriages and were driven to the ns it being their inte lion to witness the impeachment proceed. ings in the Seyate chamber. é CAPITOL.

Fay” did not accompany his father. When Dom Pedro was introduced to Cox he was so overcome with the attentions of Fitzhugh, whom he seemed to regard as asort of lord bigh chamberlain, that he scarcely noticed the diminutive Speaker, and did not even condescend to get up from his seat. Tne Emperor, after remaining in the gallery a few minutes, quietly observing the Ameri- can system of battonholing Congressmen, Went cown to the Speaker’s room and Was quite surprised waen formally intro- duced to Mr. Cox,ag the Speaker of the House of Representatives, a really bigger man (officially) than Fitzhogh. In passing from the House to the Senate side of the Capitol he was besieged by an army of page boys for his autograph, but he shoot his head, as If to say lis be “domed” if he would and he didn’t. He then returned to the House gallery, and when the chaplain began his prayer he rose up, but finding that it wa: the custom of the members to worship in a recumbent position with their heels on their desks, he satdown again. The Dom stands over six feet in his low-quarter shoes. He basa full growth of gray beard and gray hair. He was dressed to-day in a fall suit of black, and wore an old-fashioned aig hat, something after the style which a Gallleean fisherman puts on to attend a Sunday fane- ral, He is apparently between fifty andsixty years of age.

At twenty minutes after twelve o'clock presentatives Faulkner, Springer ani Williams, of the Foreign Affairs Commit- tee, eatled upon him in the gallery. The Dom shook hands with them. At twelve nd thirty minutes the Emperorand party went over to the Senate. The Emperor entered the diplomatic gal- lery of the Senate at2 p.m. He had been informally invited to take a seat on the floor of the Senate, but modestly declined, pre- ferring the diplomatic gallery.
