SARATOGA.| OO Second Day of the August . Meeting. THE FETE OF FASHION. THREE VERY FINE RACES. Tammany Wins the Steeple Chase, Frank Hampton the Mile and a Half Dash, and Mary Louise the Selling Race, SARATOGA, August 19, 1872. To-day witnessed the great hurdle race and brought out all the wealth, fashion and beauty con- gregated at this famous watering place. The races of Saturday closed with fitting splendor in the ball of the hotel orchestra at Congress Hall, which was well attended, and of which Mrs. Cornelius Van- derbilt and Mrs, A, T. Stewart were the principat attractions to the sightseers who are “doing” the Springs. But even the fatigue of the ball could not still the game fever excited by the racing, and when the church bells rang out in prolonged and solemn chorus on Sunday morning their notes fell upon ears not particularly in sympathy with the mournfel melody. Ina watering place where the only life is @ fashionable one and the only business is amusement church bells sound some- how out of ptace. The customs of the Roman ban- quets will never again be popular, and when one is determined to be happy and enjoy oneself the less the old Latin caution, “memento mort,” is vung in the ear the better. REBECCAS AT THE WELL. At “five o’clock in the morning” a bevy of ladies, most of them married ones, and some of them single ofa “certain age,” which it would be impo- lite to mention in their hearing, are gathered about Congress Spring. They are without headdress of any kind, and wear loose travelling wrappers of brown linen, or some of the most irrepressible of the maiden ladies come clothed in the barbaric giory of highly colored and grotesquely figured “Dolly Vardens.”” They are incorrigible Sarato- gians who have regularly filled three separate arks every Spring and sailed out in search of health over the medicinal waters. I noticed one this morning who must have been a fair creature some years ago, before late hours, cold tea and other female dissipations had chased the color from her cheeks, dulled the glitter of her eyes and eaten the moist roses of her lips. She was accompanied by a tall, sallow youth whom she called ‘Augustus, dear,” and who had an incipient mustache and molasses- candy hair. From a conversation it was impos- sible not to overhear I gathered that Augustus wag the lady’s brother, an honor that he shared witha weazen-faced elf near them who was watching the water boy, that he might throw pebbles in the spring when his back was turned. Augustus, whose Angelina was evidently at Newport, was de- livering himself of a tabular statement of the merits of that locality and the demerits of the Springs. AUGUSTUS’ ARGUMENT. * By Jove, I can’t see what you find so fascinating in this dull place. Now, at the seaside we have our own cottage, and there is bathing and yachting, and riding and driving and all that. And here you put up with all manner of inconvenience—pack yourself away in a little room, 10x12, and pretend that it’s all to drink this dirty salt-water that tastes as if bad eggs had been boiled in it, and which, by the way, I don’t believe you like a bit. If you were forced to drink it at any other place you would insist it was disgusting nd you couldn’t keep it on yourstomach.” At ‘this instant the elf (who, it seema, rejoices in the name of Tom) turned up, and with one hand on his little abdomen and the other behind his back, cried out in a shrill, piping treble, “Oh! gracious, sis, the ‘water's awful nasty. I can’t bear to drink it, and every time I do, it—it makes me sick !’” SOENE ON THE COURSE AT DAWN. ‘Th fog was still lying close to the earth in the lowlands, and marking in many places by its milky, opaque bulk the course of wandering brooks and straight ditches, dug for drainage or irrigation, When the stables opened and the horses to take part in the day’s contests were led out to exercise. First of all came the studs from Kentucky stables, attended by their troops of little negroes. The horses were heavily blanketed and many of them hooded and with legs bandaged. The pickaninnies clustered about them, their dark faces full of an anxious solicitude, which probably, long ago gave to some careful observer the first idea of a “brown ) These little fellows were of greatly diver- color, but of almost uniform size, few being more ‘tha, neg feet in heighth. bY fe ‘hey were the stable and row up in intimacy with the colts for whom they cared. Soon with blankets removed and saddled, the horses were speeding over the turf at a rapid pace, some with noses close to the ground and the rider pulling strong, others galloping with a clear, sweeping ace, which gave promise of honest work in the jay’s trial. Up and down the quarter stretch and around the track the horses sped, till covered with foam they came back to be sponged, cleaned, rub- bed and blanketed again. Then they were walked carefully over the course or Out on the green and down the country roads. PREPARING FOR THE SPORT. In the meantime the belles and beaux of the * hotels were not idle. They arose at an unusually early hour, and not a few of the former, no doubt, went through a8.thorough a preparation for the day's conquests 48 did the horses. Waiting maids were teased and scolded, a thousand mysterious accessories to a fashionable female make-up were mislaid and discovered, and at last, alter endless brushing and “touching” and tuckil nd pinning mi-lady Was pronounced en regal. ‘I’ entlemen descended to the barbers to have their hair dressed and walked over to the sample room to take @ morning “bitters.” They in at the fancy goods store and vought bright blue and green ribbons with which to fasten on their , aud then they looked in the _ and said voce) “Ah! I'm rather taking, I fatter myself, is morning; ah! Ido, by Jove!” Members of the sporting fraternity wore an anxious look. To them the breach Sunday had made in the day’s sport had been unweicome, to say the least. Then, most of them had staked their money against the favorites in Saturday’s races, and the favorites had won in each race. These gentry also patronized the barber, but called at the sampie room both before and after, which was the reason, doubtiess, their cheeks looked as though the barber had put rouge instead of powder on their 8. ON THE ROAD the scene was more full of Bayety and life than on the first day of the meeting. e Gumptown stage ‘was conspicuous, as usual, and through some mis- understan the driver had got into a spirited opposition to the “Red Bird Express.” The result ‘was financially disastrous, for in the argument the Gumptown man _halloaed himself so hoarse that he could only cry for apy ina whisper. He stood on his seat shouting, “This way to the racecourse— only twenty-five cents!” but to the crowd—his face and swollen, his arms gesticulating wildly, but not a word from his lips sounding audi- ble—he seemed like a mad clown in a pantomime, In the meantime the “Red Bird” man bad 80 jolly that he winked at the free rides stolen the little boys of the village, who clung to the steps of his vehicle. Notwithstanding that it was Sunday only yesterday drivers of the “four-horse teams” so far ng themselves as to swear in the most tte ges A fond voice at the hackmen who cut in ahead of them on the road.

Among the most famous ‘turn outs’ ts that of Colonel C. E, Delevan, who is the owner of one of the three four-in-hands seen at Saratoga. The horses are all large black, stylish animals, and so are the coach- man aod footman, who are dressed in full livery. ‘The Colonel is dressed in velvet and corduroy. Next in order, and at every opening trying to get is Colonel W. 8. Wright, also of New York. He is the owner of another four-in-hand, all bays, driven to stylish drag, Mrs. John White, whose carriage contains a number o! lady friends from the city and is drawn aS fine team, comes next.

The day is intensely down, and there isa handkerchiefs, The ladies are to-day really Oe oe om we met , 18 there—full of brotherly attention—the pink of propriety. Yonder sits a well-known Fifth avenue belle, attired in a m: cent brown silk, elegantly and rofusely trimmed. The value of her welry is estimated at a small fortune, and the ht of her jet black eye will vie with the flashin; of her brilliant diamonds, In her delicately gio’ id she holds a gold pencil and a little book. “Come, sir,” she says, presenting her book and parcel to a young gentleman friend who has just doffed his hat, “come, air, jut down your bet. Take your choice,” e victim smiles, records her name, and, gentlemaniike, chooses the poorest horse, the one he is certain will lose. In @ moment more along comes another vie- tim and her book and pencil are again presented with the most charming naiveté. She has made at least a dozen bets, but she will.win every one of them, for the gentiemen haveall gallantly taken the poorest horses and left her the favorites. IT 18 VERY NICE TO BE A BELLE at the Saratoga races. Itis an all win and no lose game with her. Just behind her is the swell—one of those chaps that play a prominent part in the great Saratoga iarce. He is gorgeously gotten up. He chats with a sweet lisp and says “awe, werry” for “ah! very,”’ and assures our belle she looks ‘posi- tively charming.” The sensible old people look on the swell with an eye of pity and suspicion, and want tp know what business ‘it’? has here, 400 IN THE SHADE. In front of the stand is Judge Connolly, with an umbrella which scarcely conceals his features. One of the colored jockeys who has been found a ound over weight—he’s a “* pie phellow "'—is tak- Ing a walk around the “ big Judge” to get his flesh down, Each time, as he comes in sight on the homestretch, the perspiratioa is seen running from him in torrents that would prove the fortune of an ink manufacturer. On the shady side of the great jurist sit a crowd of people who are timing the pedestrian, and upon whom the Judge looks blandly and magniticently down. Soon the bugle calls a ‘‘mount,”’ the jockey is hastily weighed and found an ounce under the r@guilations, tne crowd throw in pennies enough to make up the de- ficiency, and ail ls ready for the start. THE RACING. ~ vas, The track was in capital condition, and the weather fine for fast time. Three races were on the card, the first a steeple chase, with six starters; the second a mile and a half dash, with 100 pounds up, with two runners, and the third adash of a mile and three-quarters, with weight off, it being a selling race, and allowance was made for low prices. Seven started, and the race was a capital one. It was won by John O’Donnell’s gray filly Mary Louise, who had eighty-nine pounds on her back. Echo was a good second, Henry a poor third, The racing gave general satisfaction. The mile and @ half dash rather surprised the people, when Frank Hampton beat Tubman, who was the favorite at four and five to one, In the first race there were six starters, com. prising J. H. Tully’s bay gelding Vesuvius, by Van- dyke, dam Lizzie Berry, 5 years old, with 144 Ibs. up; Coffinand Lawrence’s bay horse Lo¢hiel, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Bonnet, 4 years old, 147 Ibs.; James Thompson’s brown mare Lobelia, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Capitola, aged, 148 Ibs.; Jo Donahue’s chestnut gelding Tammany, by Lexing- ton, dam Lis Mardis, 5 years old, 147 lbs.; Jo Donahue’s brown horse Blind Tom, by Star Davis, dam Margravine, aged, 162 lbs.; John Q’Donnell’s bay colt by Asteroid, dam Lavender, 4 years old, 1821bs, Lochicl was a great Yavorite in the pool sales. He came in first at the finish, but for making a mistake while running the race was given to Tam- many. O’Donnell’s colt stumbled at the water jump and threw his rider, and then ran away. The Tace was & one throughout and was much admired by the spectators, who applauded vocifer- ously as the Rorses passed over the water in front of the stand. ‘The second race had only two starters.

Tubman was the favorite at five to one in the pool sales. Frank Hampton won the race by twenty lengths, Tubman quitting badly two hundred yards from home, r leading nearly all the wa: le had the inal O~ sition, and gave him ight advan on the turns. The time of the race was not for such fast horses with one hundred pounds up, and much better was anticipated.

No New Arrivals of Infected Vessela—The Yellow Fever Patients Recovering Rap- idly. Among the yellow fever vessels in port everything appeared to be progressing in the most satisfactory manner yesterday, and all the patients, both on board the ships and in the hospitals, are now recov- ering. No new fever cages or fever arrivals are re- ported. Yesterday three of the Numancia’s seamen were returned as convalescent from the West Bank Hospital to the frigate, and the convales- cents who remained on board at the time the sick were first taken off have been re- turned to duty. Heaith Officer Vanderpoel made a tour of the Lower Bay yesterday, and as a result of his inspection found the general health exceedingly good on board all the vessels. Asecond tour was made yesterday afternoon by Deputy Health OMcer Mosher, and it was near mid- night when his vessel returned to the quarantine station on Staten Island. ‘The schooner Mary C.

A BUFFALO HUNT ON THE PROGRAMME, The Duke and His Family Ties---Sketch of His Career and Services in Brazil. fhe Duke of Saxe, son-in-law of His Imperial Majesty Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, arrived in the port of New York last evening on board the United States and Brazil Mail Steamship Company's steamer North America from Rio Janeiro, The vessel, in accordance with the usual Quarantine regulations, was detained at the Lower Quarantine boarding station, off the West Bank, and her pas- sengers, including the illustrious German Duke, will probably reach the city early this morning. The Duke will remain at the Brevoort House until the arrival of his brother, Prince Philippe, who will ac- company him through this country. The Duke of Saxe tn Brazil. Rio JANEIRO, Brazil, July 25, 1872. In accordance with along cherished plan, ma- tured since his arrival here with the Emperor in March last, the Duke of Saxe, son-in-law to Dom Pedro II., Emperor of Brazil, takes passage to-mor- row morning on board the American and Brazil steamship North America, Captain George B. Slocum, for a visit to the United States, The Duke of Saxe married the Princess Leopoldina, second stated before, ts known to be an accomplished scholar, most amiable in manners, and has served with distinction in the Brazilian Davy, in which he holds the rank of admiral. The Duke of Saxe, it will be seen, is a grandson of King Louis Philippe, who spent many years in the United States, and also a cousin of the Prince of Wales. He is, be- sides, related to the House of Bonaparte, through marriage of a member of his family with a daughter of Eugene Beauharnais, son of the Empress Jose- phine. MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN. The Emperor of Brazil had two danghters—the Princesses Imperial Isabeila and Leopoldina, The Count d’Eu, son of the Duc de Nemours and grand- son of Louis Philippe, in the latter respect like the Duke de Saxe, married the former in 1864, and having had a military education, showed a decided taste for a military life, and has been for years a marshal of Brazil. The Duke de Sexe married the Princess Leopoldina, who was born July 13, 1847, on the 15th December, 1864, and four sons have been the issue of the union. Their names are:—Pedro Auguste Louis Marie, born March 9, 1866; Auguste Leopold Philippe, born Decemper 6, 1867; Joseph Frederick Francis, born May 2, 1869, and Louis Gas- ton Clement, born September 17, 1870, The Prin- cess Leopoldina died in Vienna February 7, 1871, leaving the Duke of Saxe a widower, which he still remains, The Emperor of Brazil has no male issue, and therefore the young Duke of Saxe great grandson of Louls Philippe and cousin of the children of the Prince of Wales, is now the heir ry parent to the throne, a Rae uring the progress of the Paraguayan war referre: to below, and in which the Duke of Saxe par- ticipated, the praspect was at one time entertained of erecting a new kingdom in South America. There were many dynastic interests to be con sidered, the most important of which was the selection of a monarch who would be looked upon with favor by the reigning houses in furope. The Duke of Saxe was regarded as the most eligible, and, if the project had been carried out, he would have been placea over a new kingdom, made up of parts of Brazil, Paraguay and the Argentine Republic. ‘The family connections of our royal visitor may be further shown by stating that one of the sisters of | the Emperor of Brazil married the Prince de Join- ville and the other the Count de Aquila, son of Fraucis L, King of the Two Sicilies, THE PARAGUAYAN WAR, When the Duke of Saxe left Brazil the relations of the Empire with its former alties in the war | against Paraguay seemed to be on the eve of arup- | ture, and the latest advices indicated that prepara- tions for hostilities were in progress on both sides, ‘The war that opened in 1866 continued over two years, and was remarkable for the ferocity with which it was carried on on both sides, The avowed | object of the allies was to drive Lopez from powe and restore, it was alleged, the people of Paragu: to liberty. He fought with determination, and drought into operation the enttre physical power of and youngest daughter of Dom Pedro IL, early in 1866, He was residing here during the Paraguayan war, and as some opposition was made at his in- tention to take an active part in the campaign, he felt a degree of offence, and with his young wile went to Germany, where he has resided since. In the early part of the year 1871 his wife died in Vienna, leaving issue three sons, the eldest of whom, Dom Pedro, now about five years of age, is heir to the Brazilian throne in the event oi the death without issue of Isabella, Princess Imperial, wife of the Count D’Eu, who has no children up to the present time, When the Emperor returned in March last from his European trip the Duke of Saxe accompanied him to Brazil, bringing his little children also, who remain herein charge of their imperial grandfather. The Duke 1s a fine looking man physically, nearly six feet in height, with a pleasant German face, and is quick and vigorous in all his movements. He has been passing his time here without the least ostentation, and has indulged largely in active exercise, of which he is very fond. Not many mornings ago I saw him very early, riding along the Cattete, from Botafogo, astride of a fine mule, his pants tucked in his boots, wearing @ monkey jacket and slouched hat, and appearing as ifhe was returning from his morning exercise, which undoubtedly was the case. The progtaaime of his tour will be as follows :— He will arrive in New York on the 19th of August possibly, and, passing a few dlays in the East and visiting some of the blot 3 Paces, will make an ‘autumn trip to and through the West, and hopes to, and no doubt will, make arrangements for a season of buffalo hunting. He will visit California, and thence goes to Austratia, Japan, China, India and thence through Egypt to Europe. Sketch of the Royal Visitor. The arrival of the Duke of Saxe, son-in-law of the Emperor of Brazil, in this city will afford great satisfaction to the American people. The Duke is known to entertain the most enlightened views, is a close student and a liberal patron of the arts and sciences, like nearly all the members of his family. The Duke is quite a young man, a widower and the father of four children. The latter are the only male descendants of Dom Pedro, and therefore the eldest son of the Duke, if the Princess Imperial— the Countess d’Eu, the eldest daughter of the Em- peror, who acted as regent during his and the Em- press’ absence on @ lengthened European tour— continue “childless, is heir presumptive to the throne. The object of the visit of the Duke, we are happy to learn, is to study our institutions and observe their workings. Government officers, the representatives of the industrial, financial, scientific and mercantile interests, will, we do not question, be pleased to aid him in his inquiries. The Duke will meet on every side the attentive consideration and proper respect due to a cultivated gentleman and scholar, and one bound, too,in the ordinary course of events, to exercise hereafter an important influ- ence on the destinies of one of the finest and most extensive countries’ on the American Continent. German by birth, and monarchical also by birth and by education, he is by alliance, interests and sym- pathies American. And here may be quoted the words of Mr. James Watson Webb, formerly Min- ister to Rio Janeiro, in reference to Brazil, even before the great measure of the abolition of slavery in the Empire had been carried out:—“Brazil is a constitutional monarchy; but her constitution, her Legislature, her judiclary and all her commercial laws and regulations are based upon and copied from us. Make her Executive elective instead of here@itary and her constitution is our own in spirit if not in_letter, and in some features even prefer- able.” The Duke of Saxe has been identified with ali the measures of reform that have taken place within late yearsin his father-in-law's dominions, and in the naval service of his country has earne desegyed distinction. THE HOUSE OF SAXE-CoBURG. The house of eee couart of which Duke de Saxe isa scion, is descended from Duke Ernest, great grandson of John Frederick the Magnani- mous, who, in 1547, was deprived by the Emperor Charles V. of his electoral dignity and territory, received as a compensation several estates, among which is the Duchy of Gotha, which maintained a separate independence until it was recently incor- porated into the German Empire. Ernest, his son, who succeeded to Gotha and the main part of the territory ‘was, to all appearance,” says Carlyle, n excellent, prudent and really pious Governor. He had been a soldier in his youth, was a patron of learning, among other good things, an t Seck- endorf on compiling a history of the Re! ion.’? Ernest died in 1675, leaving seven sons, who at first lived together at Gotha, and governed conjointly for five years, but at length made a partition of the country. Frederick, the oldest, obtained Gotha, but his line became extinct in 1824. The other six brothers foundea the houses of Coburg-Meinin- en, Romheld, Eisenberg, Hildburghausen and jaulfield, most of which soon died out. THE REIGNING DUKE. Passing over the histories of the succeeding scions of the family, we come to Ernest Anton Charles, the fifth Duke, born in 1784 and who died in 1844, e Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha fell to him in 1824 on the extinction of the original line. He was distinguished, in common with all members of the family, by devotion to the arts and sciences, the liberal study of politics and history, dignified but courteous and kindly manners and a warm de- sire to promote the wellare of his subjects, He left two sons, the younger of whom, Albert, became: | the huband of Queen Victoria, as stated before, and the elder, Ernest, is now the reigning ita over Saxe-Copurg-Gotha. The latter is highiy ac- complished in music as well as in science and literature. With extreme good sense he estab- lished a constitutional government in his territory, and perhaps the best testimony as to his wisdom and justice is that the revolutionary storm of 1848 R. over without commotion in his domain. He js childiess, The Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Queen Victoria, is heir to Duke Ernest, but he has renounced his claims in favor of the next of kin. THE DUKE OF SAXR. Louis Auguste Marie Gudes, Duke of Saxe, ranks | among the most distinguished royal visitors who le belongs to the allied ritain, by marriage to the reigning families of Great Por' i, Austria and Belgium. He is also con- nected with the Orleans and Bonaparte houses and with many of the German royal families, including that of the Emperor of Germany. The First Napo- leon on one occasion remarked, with reference té the a good fortune which has befallen this family in most alliances, ‘If a crown at any time falis into the street one of my Coburg cousins is sure to pick it up.” The members of the House of Saxe-Coourg-Gotha from the earliest times have al been distingnished for their spirit and lib- character, as well as for their mental and physi- e cal gifts, BIRTH AND PARENTAGE. Our present royal visitor was born August 9, 1845, and has therefore entered upon his twenty- eighth year. Of the two branches of the Saxe- Coburg-Gotha family—Protestant and Catholic— he belongs to the latter. His father was Auguste Louis Victor, Duke de Saxe, a'major general in the Austrian service, and cousin of Prince Aibert, the father of the Prince of Wales, and his mother, Maria Clementine, daughter of Louis Philippe, King of the French. His education received par- ticular attention, it was for many years con- the Kepublic—even including women—against im- mense odds. ‘The quarrel was first with Brazil. Lopez was ambitious to become an imperial ruler and prove himself a power equal to the Emperor, Dom Pedro; and there is authority for saying that | the latter, during the progress of hostilities, de- | clared that if his people were anxious for peace at any sacrifice the duty of assenting to such a peace would devolve on his daughter, In other words, he would abdicate before signing a treaty of peace with Lopez. THE ALLIES. Paraguay, it may be worth mentioning, was as ready as Brazil to engage in war. Lopez had as- pired to the hand of the Princess Leopoldina, but all advances in that direction were curtly rejected by Dom Pedro, Lopez, indeed, could offer little in the way of antecedents to ensure the happiness of the young lady. Brazil sought for alllances. There was a revolution in progress in Uruguay under Flores, and it being successful the latter came into the views of Brazil and declared war against Lopez. Paraguay, situated in the heart of South America, is wrapped around by the immmense ter- ritory of Brazil and the Argentine Republic. Bolivia to the west has astripof seacoast on the Pa- cific and its interests are more with Chile and Peru. They are Spanish and republican, while Brazi is imperial and Portuguese, Lopez had asked per- mission from the Argentine Republic to march a body of troops across a strip of territory called the Missiones. This could not be granted without in- volving the country in war with Brazil. The result was that Lopez declared war against the Argen- tine Republic, on the ground that President Mitre had been in connivance with Brazil; and against Uruguay, on the ground that Flores had fought against the independence ot Urageay and had al- lowed the publication of satires and libels concern- ing Lopes. Flores was asi of Montevideo, after abdicating about the close of the war; and soon after pes being totally de- feated by the Brazilians, and closely pursued, was put to death by the lance, in the hands of an allied soldier. Asan evidence of the imperial aspirations of Lopez, it is recorded that SIR EDWARD THORNTON, who. had spent twenty years in South Ameri- can countries, was appointed English Minister to Paraguay and was well acquainted with the habits and customs of the rulers and people. made the usual application to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The time of presentation of credentials was > pointed and carriages sent by Lopez to convey Mr. hornton to the palace at Ascension. The Secre- tary of Legation desired to enter the vehicle with his Chief, but there were peremptory orders that only the Minister should ride to the palace, and Lopez took particular pains to state that he felt ‘ratified that Queen Victoria took such special in- rest in his health and welfare. THE BRAZILIAN NAVY. The Brazilian naval force took an active part dur- ing the progress of the war with Paraguay. The Duke of Sax is an admiral in the Emperor's service and held an importaat position during the progress of hostilities. He gain ba himself on several occasions under fire. ie present naval force of the country consists of fifteen iron-clads and moni- tors and about sixty other vesseis, principally pro- pellea by steam, One of the iron-clads is led after the name of our present distinguished visitor, and was badly damaged during an encounter with @ Paraguayan fort, barely escaping beingsunk. The passage of Humaita, a strongly fortified position, is claimed by the Brazilians to have been @ naval feat equal to faigar or Mobile, and to have established the reputation of the iron-clads of the Empire as being equal to the best in the world. The Para- guayan feet was by no means insignificant. On more than one occasion the vessels composing it dashed among their enemies and attempted to cap- ture them by boarding. The result on all these occasions was ee for the alles, and, according to the reports, the Duke of Saxe, though young, was ears during the hottest portions of tie contests, TREATY OF COLEJIPE. The allies—Brazil, Argentine Republic and Uru- guay—were entirely successful. ay was not alone almost depopulated, but placed entirely at the mercy of the Powers named. Whatever were the crimes of Lopez, the country over which he had supreme sway was reduced to the lowest con dition of misery and misfortune, And, to understand the resent condition of the relations between the Empire and its former allies and the causes that threaten war between them, the following statement Will be read with in- terest:—Brazil, when Lopez wags killed, made a special treaty with Paraguay, cdanionly called the “Colejipe”’ treaty. It was an agreement in which Uruguay and the Argentine Republic had no part, and was entered into witnoit consulting with them. Brazil was by it guaranteed the power of establishing a protectorate and maintaining in the Republic a certain number of troops even after the expiration of the treaty of the peace. ‘he treaty of alliance or peace, a¥ticle 8, provides that Para- guay cannot be annexed by any of the allies nor ask for their protection. e independence and territorial integrity of Paraguay was guaran- teed by all the allies for five years. Under these circumstances the Argentine Republic has deemed it obligatory on herself to issue a protest against the special treaty made by Brazil with Paraguay. It is said that the absorbing policy developed by Brazil has very much alarmed the neighboring republics of Uruguay ana the Argen- | tic Republic, and, pare the fate of Paraguay, they require guarantees m the Empire, whieh it is hardly possible will be granted. ‘The Brazilian army of occupation is to remain in Paraguay be- ond the term of years specified in the treaty, and ecomes practically annexed to the Empire. The two objecting Powers have each seacoasts and sea- ports, but their naval strength is insignificant, while that of Brazil is large and well organized. The best evidence that some arrangement will be reached to avert war is the arrival of Admiral the Duke of Saxe in our midst. The See republics of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezucla are inaccessible to attack by sea from Brazil, and, however much they may be antagonistic to mo- narchical or imperial institutions to which they are opposed, their interests impose upon them a peace- ful policy DOM PEDRO. This brief view of the last war of Brazil, and of the present critical relations of the Empire with its neighbors, in reference to which the telegraph has given us information from time to time, pos- sesses interest at this time. Our commer- cial intercourse with the Empire improves every day, and ste communication with Kio Janeiro has been receMly increased. Dom Pedro is deservedly regarded as one of the most enlight- ened of reigning monarchs, and is devoted to the | Sen Wea ea of the resources of the country over which he rules and the elevation of his people. The visit of the Duke of SaXe will, no doubt, tend to cement closer the friendly sentiments that exist between the great Empire of the South and the | great Republic of the North. Gur royal visitor may rest assured of receiving a cordial welcome and the suitable attentions due his high station and in- fluential position, Our naval authorities will not be behind hand in extending the cigilities and honors to which the Admiral is entitled. A WILD STEER ON THE RAMPAGE. Last night a wild steer broke loose from the siaugh- | ter pen at the corner of Forty-seventh street and Third avenue. While proceeding through Forty-fifth Street, between First and Second avenues, it came in contact with Joseph Kiernan, seventy-two, of 799 First avenue, knocking him down on the pavererats The injured man was rescued by his ends and taken home. His injuries fortunately were slight, ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.

Pam Ay I The Yantic’s Message to the Imaum of Muscat. WASHINGTON, August 19 1872. ~ To-day Rear Admiral Case, Acting Secretary of the Navy, signed the sailing orders of the United States ship Yantic, now at Norfolk and destined for the East Indian squadron via Suez, to execute en route one of the most important missions that could be confided to our navy—the first practical step toward the SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE on the East Coast of Africa, The recent appalling revelations made in the letters of Stanley and the despatcnes of Livingstone have aroused the British government to a sense of their duty. A short time ago Sir Edward Thornton, the British Minister, represented to the State Department that. the PRIVILEGRS RESERVED BY THE TMAUM OF MUSCAT in his treaty with Great Britain for the suppression of the slave trade, allowing, however, his subjects to continue to import slaves to be employed as house servants, have been so grossly abused that the Brit- ish government desired to put an end to so much of the treaty as reserved the right to transport do- mestic slaves by sea within certain limits of their own territory. It was represented that this por- tion of the treaty was only a cover which was used for keeping up the traMe on the eastern coast of Africa and the sooner it was abrogated the better it would be for the interests of civilization. The British Minigter was informed that our government co-operate in any manner to carry out such a laudable undertaking, and Mr. Thornton was also informed that the commander of the first man- of-war of the United States wiich should visit Zanzibar or Muscat would be ordered to intimate to the Sovereign of that country that the United States would be glad to see that the treaty with England be cancelled, as there was reason to be- lieve the instrument was USED AS A CLOAK AND SHIELD to continue the slave trade generally in its most offensive form and with its usual results of distress to the individuals kidnapped and to the region wherein they were obtained. These are substan- tially the instructions to Commander Byron Wilson, of the Yantic, and the comm ation of which to the Imaum of Muscat is to be regarded by the British government as abrogating so much of the treaty as is above referred to. THE INSPECTION OF THE YANTIC will take place on Wednesiay, and a day or two thereatter she will set sail for Muscat, It was thought best to communicate directly with the Imaum, and in doing this Commander Wilson will not only be fortified with the anthority of our government and the approval of the British Gov- ernment, but will present to the Imaum the senti- ment of the civilized world on the course pursued by his subjects in perpetuating the slave trade. The Yantic will, en route for the Rast India squad- ron, stop at Bombay, Point de Gatle, Singapore and Manila. In conversation this evening with @ naval official he said it was more than'likely the British govern- ment, spurred by the recent revelations of Stanley and Livingstone, would not wait for the arrival of the Yantic at Muscat, but would move at once to abrogate the treaty. In the event, theretore, that the commander of the Yantic should find the treaty abrogated he is to congratulate the _Imaum in the name of this government for having pursued such an enlightened course. It is hardly probable, how- ever, that Great Britain would do so without first informing us of the fact. Nothing has been received at the State department changing the Previous re- quest. THE YANTIO is a third rate screw, of 900 tons, and carries three LOVE BETWEEN BARS. A Fair Infanticide and a German Autolycus ‘Want To Be Married in Prison—The Love Plaints of the Jail Birds, POUGHKEEPSIE, August 19, 1872. In the jail in this city is a young girl named Matty Howe, aged about twenty-three, who stands in- dicted for murder in the first degree. She was last Winter in the employ of a man in Fishkill named Ed Lane, by whom she became pregnant, and when chilabirth was expected she was sent from the house to the abode of a colored woman some distance off. She had no sooner entered the black woman's apart- ment than she was attacked with pains, and very quickly, without the aid of a physician, gave birth toachild. Deserted by the man who should have stood by her, and notwithstanding her precarious condition, she left the house the next day with the new-born child in her arms, and was afterwards seen without it. Shortly after that tne body of the child was found in a piece of woods, and it looked as though it had been attacked by some animal. Matty Howe was arrested for killing her off- spring and indicted as above stated, and her trial isto come off in the Supreme Court in October next. Her cell is on the upper corridor, on the west side, Directly under it on the next corridor below is the cell of Eugene Schmitiand, a good- looking German, who has been indicted for grand larceny in stealing a number of watches and @ quantity of jewelry in Fishkill last spring. He is @ good-natured sort of fellow, and has been allowed the freedom of the outer corridors. One of these corridors leads to Matty Howe's cell, and Eugene soon became acquainted with Matty by seeing her and TALKING TO HER THROUGH THE BARS which separated them. The at first casual acquaint- ance, under adverse circumstances, ripened into affection and from that time forth through the long hours of the day, until the time arrived for each prisoner to be locked up for the night the loving Eugene could be seen sitting by the bars of Mattie's cell, the two ex- changing vows of eternal constaficy. One day Eugene addressed a letter to his father, in the Old Country, saying he had got intoalitde difculty and sadly needed $500 to help him. His father, who is reported to be rich, in a few weeks after sent him $400 in gold. Then the lovers decided to get mar- ried, Eugene, pig the consent of the Sheriff, sent for a first class tailor to come to the jail and measure him for a suit of cloth the suit was finished. Bro.’s jewel and in due time He then sent to Van Kuren store and had samples of jewelry P sent to his ce , from which he selected a complete set for ed including @ gold chain and locket, and present them to her. He also gave hera fancy lace collar and fancy necktie. Having thus, as he thought, prepared for the wedding, the next thing was to get a minister to perform the marriage ceremony. Last Saturday ho requested Jailer Vanderpool to go after a Methodist dominie. The jailer, knowing that such @ thing would not be allowed, replied that he was too busy to attend to the matter then, when Eugene requested the attendance of Mr. Bouse, the lealer, who came to the jail. To him Eugene opened his heart, and Mr. Boose endeavored to get a German minister to oMciate, but he declined on the ground that such a marriage would be unlaw- ful. Then Justice Baker was appealed to, That official SAID HE WOULD MARRY THEM if the Sheriff would consent, but the latter peremp- | torily declined. This intelligence was conveyed to the determined lovers, who received it with sad- ness. The Sheriff, however, in order to appease them, sent them word they could be married in open eourt by the presiding judge. They, however, received that news with distrust, and are mourning over the fact that next week Eugene is to be tried and will, without doubt, be sent down the river, leaving Matty to remain here till October for her trial. It ig the drat case of love in jail that ever occurred in this county. THE MISSISSIPPI MASSACRE. Arrival of Captain Pott and Wife, of the Brooke, at Mem; Mewpuis, Tenn., August 19, 1872, Captain Pott, and wife, of the steamer Hele Brooke, arrived here last night. They report tha: no traces can be east of the bined eee ed ‘woman and the man who were on the a the time she was boarded. Neither has Downing’g party beep heard from.
