DOM PEDRO. —---- An Active Sovereign Seeking to : Learn Republican Ways of Life, HIS MOVEMENTS IN NEW YORK. What He Said and+Did on His Voyage Hither. Long ‘ THE “FALL OF THE THRONE.” A Couple of Irreverent Yankees Who Laughed at the Prone Ruler, The Emperor of Brazil wins favor at every step. In truth, a more popular potentate never landed on American soi. His Majesty pleasantly repre- sents himself as a student, eager to be instructed and willing to avail himself of knowledge that subsequently may be put into practical operation tu lis own domam, and may redound to the advantage of the empire of which he 1s the benign ruler. “at every turn he is greeted with beartfeit demonstrations of friendship, and much as he may desire to avoid public wttention, his illustrious aame, surrounded, as it ts, by all the elements ‘hat could endear a sovereign to his subjects, seems to carry with it the fiood tide of popularity. His urbanity, gentlencss and scholarly attainments, to jay nothing of his experience as a traveller, could not ass unnoticed among the passengers of the Hevelius, and ever since his arrivabin this city the same genial characteristics, for which he 1s so well known, have had ample illustration? In conversation with a visitor yes- terday he gave expression to his delight at the general appearance of the city, which, he said, exceeded in beauty and proportions anything he had anticipated to find, The Fifth Avenue Hotel, where the imperial visitors are at preseut quartered, was yesterday more or less crowded with visitors. Somehow the reputation which the Emperor bears altogether disarmed the curiosity scckers, and his movements throughout the day were not marked by thuse significant demonstrations whicn might with reason, if so desired, be made in honor of the noble guest. Shortly after breakfast tbe Emperor, accompanied by the Brazilian Minister and a Jew of the members of the imperial suit, drove up Fifth avenue and inspected the Reservoir, the operations of which were fully explained to His Majesty. The Emperor, it should be mentioned, is not what is known as » gracious though ind:iferent observer, but makes a practical examination ot overy- thing. With the arrangements for the water supply ofthe city he was very much pleased, and Metened with deep attention to the explanations given him, The Emperor was by no means reticent inthe courseof his investigations, and his numerous pertinent ques- tions showed that he was not at alla stranger to the all important subject. Alter being conducted through the several departments and shown the main features Of interest at the Reservoir, the imperial party took leave, the Emperor taking occasion to express his gratification at the excellent arrangements surrounding the water supply of the city. THE EMPEROR AT THE CATHEDRAL Just before the beginning of the religions services at St. Patrick's Cathedral the imperial party drove up to the Mulberry street entrance, and were received at the’ door of the vostry by Rey. Vicar General Quinn and «Cdscorted into the sanctuary, where seats wore placed for them, while the organ peated out a note of welcome | and the immense congregation turned upon them a look of curiosity and surprise. The Cardinal was not in attendance owing to indisposition, and the scarlet \hbrone cordingly left vacant, while at its foot Incumbent, The ladies and gentiemen comprised in the imperial party seated themselves behind their majesties, aud viewed with evident curiosity the ecclesiastical edifice and the high altar which blazed with lights and gorgeous draperies. Then the strains of the organ rolled out again, this time softened and attuned to the expression of the religious Joy which the occasion commemorated 1s wont to call forth, Daring the services Dom Pedro at intervals permit- ted his gaze to roam over the vast congregation | conversing and makin; vee a ing he had never seen anything like the institution in bis life. As le was about te leave ex-Commissioner Gardiner and Captatn Williams entered the room and th e Em- peror at once expressed a desire to seea -police sta- tion, He was accordingly taken to the Fourth precinct station house, where he made a close inspection of the cells, the sleeping apartme: oi the men, the tele- era &e.. after which he ena to Engine House No. 12 in William street, There the horses were hur- nessed, the men turned out and everything shown to the H best advantage. He remained about twenty minutes inquiries in relation tothe | working of tho Fire Department, after wuich himself | and party returned to the hotel. TALES WITH THE EMPEROR, | During the voyage from Rio Janeiro to New York the members of'the imperial party treated with tho | ‘utmost consideration their fellow passengers, who were chiefly Americapa, There was acomplete absenco of pretension or ceremony, and many a parvenu of the republican city of New York would have been a thou- sand-fold iess accessible than the Emperor of Brazil or | Her Majoaty the Empress, whose sweet disposition and unfailing good nature won for her the love and respect of her follow passengers, and made us all, radicals and | republicans, as mueh her devoted subjects as though we, too, had thé honor to belong to the imperial house, hold, Before our ship had lost sight of the magnificent bay of Rio Janeiro the bonhomie of His Majesty and the gentle good nature of the Empress had set us at our: ease and dispelled the fears entertained by sdme pas* sengers that our voyage would be rendered uncom, fortable by the amount of ceremony to which _we were | destined to be subjected, There was, however, noth, ing of this; on the contrary, the Emperor proved to be the least formal of men, He did not shut himself ap in his dignity, but rather came towards the other pas. sengers encouraging them to treat him on the same foot- ing as any other passenger. He chatted with the ladies, discussed various questions of science or literature,| with the gentlemen, and was at all times the merriost | and most light hearted person on board, ever ready to~ laugh ata joke or listen to asong. During the voyage | by far the greater part of his timewas spent with the American passengers, from whom he strove to derive ag much information as possible about the social and industrial life of their country, Politics he eschewed and could never be induced to talk about, He, how- ever, was anxious to learn as much as possible about | the result of the charges of dishonesty brought against 80 many of our public men, but never expressed any opinion for or against them, On one occasion, after His Majesty had been for some time discussing with the Heratp correspondent the result of Mr, Staniey’s labors in Africa in a way that showed a thorough acquaintance with the sub- ject, the correspondent remarked, “There 1s plenty of room iv Brazil for expeditions just as intercating as those of Mr. Stanley.’? My Tho Emperor replied, ‘*Yes, certainly, the river s: tem is very complete and casily jommed, The basing of La Piata ana the Amazon are not widely separated, At my inst visit to Mindes Geraes I was at a point whore three river systems sprung—the San Francisco, Amazon and Plata’? “Phe question of river navigation seems to me more important to Brazil even than railways.”’ ‘“Untortunately the rivers are interrupted by rapids hrs places, and that prevents their being util- “But by building railways round the: difficulty could be obviated, ”” “That 1s true, certainly, Studies are already being made to effect this on the San Francisco River, to build a railwa: nd the Paulo Afonso Rapids. If it succeeds It wilt be of groat importance,” 4 His Majesty then joined the members of bis “suite, somewhat fatigued with the effort to sustain a long con- versation in English. Ho understands the language very well, but fro the words unless rapids that SECOND DAY OUT, The morning of the 27th was clondy, but afters ward cleured up Nearly ev. ne had ielt the influence of the sea, and there w large number of people with very pale taces lounging about iu chai trymeg to look cheerful.

Vicar General Quinn ascended the pul- pit, aud turning toward the imverial party he said :— In the name and on the part of His Eminence, the Cardinal, 1 beg to offer to Your Majesty and the press his congratulations on your sate arrival in this country. We alt unite with His Eminence in giving thanks to Almighty God for your sale passage, aad pray that the remainder of your journey may be equally prosperous and that you Inay be, with your suite, stored in. guod health to your devoted subjects, wil pardon this personal allusion, which is pu: religions character and which, we trast, willnot miringe | on any role whieh Your Majesty may have prescribed iT urself. While this address was being read the Emperor kep his head modestly inclined, and only when the rey- erend gentleman descended from the pulpit did he raise it, The services then proceeded to a conclusion, and when the benediction had een pronounced and the celebrant passed into the vestry with bis train the imperial party rose and were escorted outside by the clergy Jn attendance. In the ante-room Dot Vedro was introduced by Father Quinn to various clerical eatlemen who were present, and after contributing to the collection which is taken up in all the churches for the orphans’ benefit he took his leave. Outside the Cathedral such an jinmense crowd had as- sembled that it required the exertions of a police force to keep them under control, and when the Em: peror appeared they swarmed up close to the carriages ofthe party, ana but for the day being the Sabbath they seemed disposed to give His Majesty a hearty ova- lion. Noticing the difficulty with whieh the police re- strained the populace Dom Pedro turned to the cap- tain on duty and said with a smile, “Wo have never had need of the police in-iny country to keep the peo- ple from church.’”’ Their Majesties and suite then en- tered the carriages and were driven away, THE IMPERIAL VISITORS PHOTOGRAPHED. Immediately after leaving the Cathedral the imperial party drove to the gulery of a photographer on Broadway, where they sutsnitied, with character i philosophy, to the usual process. Of the Emperor sixteen negatives were taken, the Empress renerously undergoing the ordeal which the sittings for four pretures demand. ‘The members of the suite were aot photographed, ‘The artist presented the Empress with photographs of the ladies of New York whe bee | Jong to the Centennial Union, AODRIVE IN CHNTRAL PARE. Before dianer the E press, accor- ganied by Minister Berges, Viseonde de Bom Retiro ind Dona’ de Fonseca Cozta, drove throagh Central Park, with the surroundings of which the members of | the purty expressed theiase!ves highly delighted, The | satriages couveyed the imporial visitors through every | part of te popular resort, and its attractions were fully observed, The party examined the mascam and paid the vodlogical department a visit, The Emperor Faw many specimens from his own rich land, and to those in atiendance dilated freely on their pecaiiarities, with whieh he seemed tioroughly acquainted. The party then drove to the hotel, and aiter dinner the Em- peror, accompanied by several members of his suite, visited the Hippodrome to hear Messrs, Moody and Sankey. a A VISIT TO TEE NEWAnOYS, About ten o'clock P. M. the Emperor and suite paid & visit to the Newsvoys’ Home in company with Mr. Theodore Rooseveit and Mr, William A, Booth, The boys iting in the large hall at their usual Sunday even- ing exercizes when the imperial party entered, and all looked orderly and quiet. Several hymus were sung to the great satisiaction of the Emperor, after which the Loys were dismissed for the night. As they filed passo-l he spoke to several of them, and afterward wad minate examination of everything connected with the estaviishment. He afterward exptossed his burpriso and gratification {a the strongest terms, say- ‘You will Gnd it hard to avoid the crowd of curious persons anxious to see you’? “Ab, but it Will not beso easy to see me; I know how to get away.” And His Majesty laughed, evidently | at the prospect of runnmg the gauntlet, ‘+1 do not wis any public receptions, but will not refase vo agvept in- |, Vitations to visit sociofy. On tho contrary, | wish to ' gee it; to study the habits and customs of the people.” | WS MAJESTY GETS A PALL | On the 28tb of March, while the Emperor was on the | upper deck talking to some American ladies, the chair | upoa wineh he was seated suddenly gave way, and His | Tinperial Majesty came tlop on the deck. The sadies were tov much frightened to give any assistance, and | the vbly (0 Americans who were near at hand ‘wok | the mutter very philosopbieaily and allowed His Maj- | | esty to pick himself up as best he could, not offering the slightest assistance, and looking at the accident as rather good joke. Notwithstanding his 200 pounds ‘weight and over the Emperor rose tu bis leet with con- siderable activity. The ladies, finding that no vones were brokeo, laughed heartily at “THK FALL OF THE THRONE,” as they callod it, and no one jo.ued more heartily than did wwe Emperor tymsel’.

Hig Majosty was very sorry to learn of Charlotte Cushman’s death, as ae uite an interest in the theatre. He inquired particu Shakespeare’s characters. When he was told the acci- dent which had befaiien the great American tragedian he expressed deep regret, but hop by the time he returned from California he would be able to sco bim act, As His Majesty is very fond of music he inquired | whether there would be opera at New York on our ar- | rival, and appeared somewhat disappointed when he | Jearned that in all probability the scason woald be over; ‘but later ou, when the HixgaLp informed us that Belocea would, in all probability, appear in opera, he was greatly pleased, Wishing to know while here the best theatres, he | was told Wallack’s and the Filth Avenue for comedy, aud Booth’s for trageay and spectacular pieces, He usked | what pieces were being performed, When he was in- formed that ‘Julius Cwsar’? was being played at Booth’s, with Barrett (Booth’s great rival), in the churacter of Cassius, he tmmediately stated he wonld go there on his arrival, as ho knew the play and would, therefore, enjoy it better than any comedy with which he was unacquainted, The other theatres he would visit later on at his leisure; but as “Julius Cwwsar”” might be | withdrawn belore his return trom Calijornia he would go to see it first. An item in the Hrratp to the effect that A. T. Stew- art had paid Gérome $30,000 for a picture turned ‘the conversation toward art. The Emperor said he was very fond of painting, and had at one time painted a little himself, but had given it-ap, not having time to devote to it, He wished to know if there were any important art collections in New York, and having Deen told that there was the Cesnoh collection of an- tiquities, the collection of ancient masters in the Me- tropolitan Art Museum, and that many private persous iu New York had valuable collections of art works, he requested me not to neg!ect reminding him to visit them, He inquired the ames of some of our most distinguished artists, and the names that immediately occurred to me were Church, Edward and Thomas Moran, Bierstadt, Trumbull, Gifford and Hart. Turning the conversation on the subject of His Majesty's failure to go on shore at Pernambuco, the HeRaLD correspondent remarked:—“lt was a pity Your Majesty did not land; it caused a good deal of disappointment, ? “Ah! yes, certainly,” the Emperor replied, speak- ing in English; “if I had known that we would have pote long in the harbor I would have gone on shore, SLAVERY AN EVIL. “The people of Pernambuco do not appear to be so active or enterprising as the inhabitants of Sao Paulo.” ot; but in fa they are very enterpris- | to the fact that there are | m Ceara than in Pernambuco.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NATIONAL ENCLOSURE AND THE MAIN EXHIBITION BUILDING— NOVEL AND UNIQUE MOORISH EFFECTS. Pacapenraia, April 15, 1870. ‘The atrival of the Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil, the first reigning sovereign of any importance who has ever visited these shores, attracts general attention to the Brazilian section of the International Exhibition, The character of the goods w be displayed from that country at Philadelphia has already been treated of at Jongth in the Herap, bat Yhe arrangements of the Brazihan department tn the main Exhibition building are not so well known, although they aro of a most in- tcresting and elaborate character, | THE BRAZILIAN SECTION. Brazil has been ussigned a flour space containing 6,897 square feet in the northeastern section of the main building, extending from the central nave to the north wall, between Belgium and the Netherlands, a Space rger than that oecupied by more extensive countries. No less than $30,000 is to be oxpended by the Brazilian government in a handsome wooden oa- closure with a showy fugade on the principal front, the structure beimg pow so far under way that it will be finished in about a week. It will contain all the ex- hibits from that country and will compare favorably wita the enclosures of neighboring nations, THE DESIGN, which was made A 3 Mr. Frank Farness, is very novel and striking, being light, graceful and bright colored, without gaudiness, in that moxt attractive and charm- ing of all styles of urehitecture, the Moresque. Brietly described, the structure may be said to con sist of a colonnade of wooden pillars, with ornamented capitals and arches, sup- porung a superstructure of wood painted im various bright colors, This colonnade will surround the en- Ure space assigned to Brazil, and ou three sides will be nineteen feet high, Between the pillars will bo wooden screens six feet high, paiuted in pancls, whieh will have a very pleasing effect, The facade of this enelosure will even rival the famous one which Spain bas put up, and will stand out befero the eyes of the Visitor ay one of the most striking objects 1m the great building.

RIOT AT HR WARMINGTON MINES, OHIO—AN OWNER SEVERELY BEATEN—CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Masstitoy, Obio, April 14, 1876. Our city is thrown intoa fever this afternoon, by @man on borseback galloping turiously into the busi- Resa purt of the city and announcing that tho miners at the Warmington mine had raised a riot, and that they haa killed or severely beaten Mr. George Warm- fogton, of Cleveland, principal owner of the mize. A kkeeper, soon arrived and stopped at the Tremont ‘House, where a large crowd of people gathered, when was found that Mr, Warmington was severely ‘beaten and SERIOUNLY INITRED, , one of his hands being broken and his head and face pounded almost beyond recognition. Mr. James states that the miners from this neighborhood and Lawrence, to the number of about 200 or 300, are in the noighbor- hood of the mine and threaten to kill any one who at- tempts to go to Work, A car containing about seventy men, “blicklegs” trom Cleveland, gene bo pasacd through the city, bound for the mine, and more trou- bie is hourly expected. ‘THR REASON of this lawlessness Is, in briet, as follows:—The miners ‘LONDON LITERARY GOSSIP.

Walt Whitmam appears to ua to have some, at ieusi, of the material of fancy, insight and emotion, out of which, yuder belit- ting conditions, poetry might have been wrought, Some of his emailer aud less pretentious compositions do indeed seem full of poetic feeling aud moving even to a sort of melody.

From time to time, for months past, the London weeklies, and occasionally the dailies, have dealt out paragraphs to the public concern- ing Walt Whitman’s prosent position in Amer- ca as a man of letters, These paragraphs have been penned sometimes in terms of syim- pathy, not infrequently in words of protest against what has beon charged here as tho ill-usago he receives at the hands of Americans in general, and American literary men in particular, Such reputable journals a8 the Atheneum, tho Academy and the Examiner have given admission to expressions of opinion of the kind, and last week the bail of a FIERCR CONTROVERSY, which has been raging here for the week past, anent the poet's merits, was opened by the Daily News, partner with the Atheneum in the publication of a letter quoting = sundry opinions expressed by the West Jersey Press on “Wajt Whitman’s Actual American Position.” The Daily News’ correspondent, who dates trom New York and devotes his letter tothe consideration of Whitman’s “Two Rivulets,’? commences tt by declaring that the only American prophet to his knowiedge who enjoy#a fame in England not accorded him in bis own country, ‘is the prophet of the new democratic school of poetry, Walt Whitman.’? He has ten admirerg and readers abroad, maintatns this correspondent, for ove he has at nome, and at home he has been permitted to sink into obscurity, af not positive neglect, and tho moody wreteheduess begotten of sorrow, Writes the Athonaurs:— - From time to time echoes reach this country from across the Atlantic of controversies regarding the literary and worlaly well-being of the American poct, Walt Whitman. For instance, Mr. Joaquin Miller delivers a lecture toan American audionce, telling them that Whitman ts disgracetully treated by his country men, and forthwith son:e one writes from the United States to « London review to say that Mr. Miller is ail in the wrong, andthe American public well alfected, and even affectionately disposed toward Whitman. Lately the West Jersey Prese (26th January) has pub- lished an article named “Walt Whitman’s Actual American Position.”” It comes to us authenticated by Whitman’s own words:—“My theory is. that the plain truth of the situation. here is best stated; itis even worse than deserived it the article.” Thereupon the Atheneum proceeds to quote from the article protty much in eztenso. No sooner has this been done and a day been permitted to interveno than MK, ROBERT BUCHANAN, in the most violent and iI! considered language, pons = long letter to the Paily News, whicn that paper torth- with inserts, abusing the whole American nation for its long continued neglect of tho ‘claims of this dis- carded und insulted poet to literary immortatity,”’ “This ig neither the time nor the place,” writes Mr, Bucbanan, **to discuss these claims, If those claims are as true as Tanti many othors in England deem them to be, God will justify his works to an carly posterity; but | this 1 certaimly tho time and your columns are possi- bly the place for an expression of English indignation against the ‘orthodox American autho: publis and editors’ who greet such aman as the author of ‘Heaves of Grass? with ‘determined denial, disgust and scorn.’ One can understand the publishers, for Ameri- can publishers have deen justly deseribed by Whitman himself as ‘mostly sharks;’ ono can forgive the ed- itors, for all men know of what pudding atypical Yankee editor’s brains are made; but as for the ‘ortho- dox American authors’ and the ‘established American poets’—orthodox perhaps in the sense of their affilia- tion to tho Church of English literature and ‘estab- lished? truly {n their custom of picking the brains of British bards— there ts but one word. for them, and ‘that may be lengthened into @ parable.” ~ Then Mr. Buchanan proceeds to moralize in his most Poctic and, I may add, brilliantly imaginative vein, He likens Whitman to the wild cagle, worn with age or famine, or with both, passing with weary walt of wing from promontory to promontory, pursued by the hootings and screechings of a parcel of crows and rooks—mean, despicable birds, who cannot | {| recognize the eagle's kingly qualities. ‘It was the | voice of Emerson—a noble gnd a reverberatory voice then and now—which first proclaimed’ the name of | at all the bafiks in this neighborhood are on a strike against a reduction of their wages from seventy-tive counts to sixty-five cents per ton.

They re- fused to agree to the terms and the Warmington Com. pany decided to new men, and on Tuesday of this week some thirty of them were put to work and guards were statioued around the mine to protect them. This morning Mr. Warmington went down to the mino to see how affairs were progressing, and was set upon and beaten bya gang of Molly Maguires, as ‘The eity is TRRUIBLY EXCITED, and there is talk of raising a company of men, arming them and sending them down to the mine to protect orkmen, The oper. have tele; ud for the coal men there w send . and a redhot time is anticipated.
