tbat such conversations upon the part of the

because he haa not the pilt ot tulking upon his
legs before a lame audience. But in private
conversation he was aUays most comuramca

tie subject of driving Maximilian out of

We had the pleasure ol a vi It yesterday from
Mr. James J. Kelby, an in elhuenl Mobile you'll,
who has jut returned from Brazil, whi her he
went in 1M7. Mr. helo.y landsd hrst at Kto, ai d
tonk pifsage from there lor Pura iu ttie Gov
in men t steamer tor the purpose of joiLlog the
colonists who weul from Moni'e under tbe
pnidiVjCe ol Major Hast use?., aud h-id sculed
som- di-.tnnce up the Amaxou. The Brazilian
('overnmeut had pledgtd i tacit to transport
emigrants lrom this country to any pait o:
Brazil vihcre tbey mleht wn-h to settle. Tbe
experience of Mr. heloy of the manner in
winch that pledge was kept was anything bat
gr'.iijini. After :iet trouble and nuaieroas
iteinys be secured a ticket aud went on boatdthe
stenmer. During the pas.-pge, that lusted twenty
ca9, he wns iiiuut and diy In the open air, uud
nlloided no shelter lrom snu or ra n. Uu was
lui nished two meals a day ot turina, which were
served iu a bnee basin set out upon the deck for
the accommodation of the deck passemrers en
wosse. There were about one hundred and dity
of these negroes, Indians and half-breeds the
very scum ot creation lousy and bllhy, all led
together, helping themselves, by the hundlul at
a time. The passage lrom Para to the Uai'ins
colony, occupjini; three days, was ot the sane
uitute H9 that from Kioto the first mentioned
pliice. So much lor the transportation. The
colouihts who went out with Hastings were pro
mised supplies tor six months, or money with
which to purcbat-e supplies where they might
df em proper. How that promise was kept may
Ip appreciated from the followini;: Trie oilicial
chtuued with tiimlBhiiin the settlers with sup
plies is named Piuto. Ho is Vice President of
the province ot Para and proprietor ot a herein
which turns bim cut annual'y a lair ctoo of
halt-breed Indian und negro otlspritig. With the
money tbat finto had received lrom the Govern
ment for the purpose designated, he eitablished
a More on the b:intt of the river, tilled it with
the cheapest groceries he culd obtain, and
forced the settlers to bjy from him at the
highest cash price, or starve. The settlement
la dis'aut lrom tbe river about eight mi'es; a
sandy desert witnout shade intervening; and
once there the settlers had to trudge under a
tropiral sun. bearing on their bucks the poor
but cosily erocertes supol ed oy the entcrprbtug
P:nto. Delicate women lrom Alabama had
often to prr orm that leartul task. The lud iu
the Hastings setilemeut, and the iTallcv of the
Amazon generally, is inferior in quality to that
ot our country, aud whatever is planted is
speedily devoured oy the rnvriads ot insects tbat
ewarm in those tropical reeions. And not only
c!o these pests attuct vegetable lite, but man
mid beast as well. Au insect called by sailors
"the jigger" lies in wait at every turn ready to
make ludemeot in the foot ot the pedestrian, and
form a colony of young '.ItesferV' in the flesh.
The feet ot dogs are to inreted by these insects
tbat the animals never get tatter than an
ordinary lathe. Scorpions, centipedes, taran
tulas, ants an inch and a half long, and who e
bite is like the combined sting of a dozun bold
faced hornets, ticks as liree a a man's thumb
nail, that go through bumuo flesh like the mole
through fleshly spaded earth, are some among
many of tbe Amazoniau blessing that endo a
man with the power of despising such trifles as
the clouds of mosquitoes anl sandflies that
preva-1 there. Comparatively ppeakine, the
vampire is the mosquito ol the Amazon Valley.
Whethirtbe vampire is really a blood-sucker is
a question that has given rise to so uediso na
tion amoi g naturalists. We remember reading,
several years ago, a magazine article, wuose
object was to deiend the great South American
bai aeaimt the serious charge, that waBiienc
rtillv believed to be lounded In fact. Mr. Selby
sets the matter at lest. He has killed vampires
in the act of sucking his own blood, Uorses in
the Amazon valley suUer greatly from these
Idood-sucking bats, aud have to be kept well tro
tccted from them at niaht. Of tbe families tbat
yent out with Hastings only tour remain at
the settlement, the rest having eone to Part as
a Cist step towards getting back tiome. Those
that remain are the folio ina: Vaughn, Men
denhali, Steel, and Emett. The health of the
country is about on a par with ourswamo lands.
While tbe Hayings colony had been reduced to
a remnant, all the Amerieau colonies have been
utterly broken up; the colonists coming iu as
best they could to the nearest seaports, geueially
in an absolutely destitute condition. The result
of the Brazil ' lever," Bad as it has proved to
those who yielded to its attack, will stand as a
warning to the Southern people against the
busty abandonment of their native land. Even
the greatest curse that can fall upon us from
the foul womb of radical hate tho curse of
monpielisni cannot be avoided by going to
bimzu or any orncr nouin Aiuer cuu i-uuuuy.
In all of them tbe Daoty fruit has ripened, and
pollutes earth and air with its sickening odors.
A. WILMlKtiTON SENSATION.
The Wilmington Commercial ol yesterday con
tains the following:
One dar last week, when the cars on the
Delaware Kalroad wtrestaodingatMlddletown,
a lady of very prepssesslna appearance, aud
apparently much excited, introduced herself
uuccremoiiioubly into the mail oar. She ex
plained that she' was seeking concealment from
a gentleman ou the train, wliom she was exoeed
inuly anxious to avoid. Hhrdly taking time to
bait, she passed into the baggage cur, and
letused to have it unless by compulsion. She
said tnat she was a married WJiunn, thut her
husband lived in New Orleans, that he was
Eomewhat unsteady and wild, but bas always
treated her well; that she bad been home on a
visit tor a year pusr, and tnat ner tamer was
unwillirc to let her eo back to her husband.
She had left the night , before, and had been
conveyed bv a frieud to Hilleboro, on the Mary
laud and Delaware Kellroad, ana had got on
the train at Clayton. She was not aware that
her father was on the train until she saw hun
get out at Middletown, and enter tbe refresh
ment saloon, when she at once made her way to
the baggage car. The conductor having heard
ber storv, allowed ner to remain in the baggage
i nr. and did not consider it auv part of bin duty
to iiilorm ber lather of her whereabouts, as no
questions had been asked bim, in legard to her.
Un arriving at ninuiuvwu iuv imurr nuugai
a policeman, and while he was closeted with him,
the Irani moved off, carrying his da ighter
apparently beyond his reach; butuufortuou ely
lor the success of her runaway experiment an
employe of the road, who had got sight ot the
lady while the cars were at Wdmiugton, aud
who afterwards heard tbe father's story, seeing
a chance for making a few dollara, oifered to
sell bis Information, and for tbe sum of ten
dollars' let the old gentleman into tbe secret!
Tbe lather at once bad a telegram sent to
Pbiladelrbia in advance of the tram, and the
fair runaway was Drought back in tbe morning
train.
K turned out tbat the story of the lady was
trne, the only difference between her version
and her lather's being iu the estimate that each
put upon ber husband, the father leoresenting
Lim in much darker colon tnan the wife. By
what authority tbe lather cla med toprevpit
htsdauebtir icIolninK ber husband, or how a
Pennsylvania poHce officer could co npel a lady
rharped with to crime to rct iro a'ler haiua
travelled ten or twelve miles on herwaviroji
Philadelphia to Pittsbure, and could b itig tier
from one S a'e into ai.otber uu'ler durance, ar?
questions wh ch seem to nuzzle those who are
mil' arnpd in the law. It Is geueraily under
stood that a wile, twenty-eitrbt years old, wns
in tuls country, at liberty to travel where sh -pleased,
It her husband did not object ; nut it
seems tbat In this ca-e a Hftv dollar fee to a
pol;ce cllicer and a telegraphic despatch wss
bi flicipnt authority to st p alalvina pu'nlc
conveyance and io compel her to retrace her
Steps.

Tnllnildnt Inff C-ulorcl Voters Recou
Nt ruction Iu the Ntttte.
Mr. A. G. Brown, formerly a :rominent
lui ui ber of Congress tr"in Mi-sl-sippi. has
written a letter to Ihe Jackson ( Mis.) Canon,
in wb uh be endeavors to shov Iroai persoual
observation th-u no hmg like intimidation was
attempted sgain.-tt colored voters at the receut
elccilou in that Slate, or more especially at
the election at Crystul JSpnnns, in CupUh
county unless it be assuimd." says Mr.
Blown, 'that refusing to give employment Is
Intimidation." After iiolua much twaddle inn
vain attempt to jut.ty a refu-ni to give employ
ment to worthy men because of their partisan
sentiments, Mr. Brown re. urns to the subject of
reconsliuctiou, which be discusses in a vem ol
common ense which is quite refreshing to
read. He says:
1 do not know many of the lea ling men in
Cum-re.-s. The lew that 1 do kuow well, 1 am
Miti-th d, will do us justice If our cantfiirly
laid betore them. Among them are Wilson of
Ma-sacbusetts, Wnde, Trumbull, and Chaudlcr
ot ibe Senate, and Biuubam ol the House. Our
people have been niaie to believe tbit these
gentlemen are our enemies, aud that they are
pursuing us in a malignant spirit, tbrough a
mere love of vengeauoe. I know them well,
and I do not concur in that opinion. They
know that we lought tuetn like men. Convince
them that when we laid doffn our arms wc did
so in good faith; tbat wheu we couiessed our
defeat we acKuowiedged the permanent over
throw of slavery and of the right of secesio-i,
and that we are now sincerely desirous
of resuming our position in tne- Federal
Union, not to disturb i'.s harmony,
but to contribute all our energies,
mental ai.d pin sical, to its last'ug prosperity.
Doltiis, aud the Republican leaders I have
named, aud doub.lcss muuy otuers, will be as
ready to receive us U9 we are to be received.
Buti am aked, how are we to couvtuce them?
1 answer, by acknowlodgiuir our own weak ties.,
and tbe power of the Governmeut; by a strict
corepliauce with the le'ins of recous'ructi.in
propo.-ed by Congress. 'iba, 19 all. Wt- snll
have it to do. Tuen why not do it witho.it so
much mouthintr and hesitation? Do we n it
perceive that it i this very in out mug and hesi.
lion tbat kcepj alive the suspicion that we are
not lojal? Aud this renders our situation more
cr.t'Cbl, not to say day by day mure despera e.
1 am willing to have it known ut Washington,
as it is at Pome, tbat I opposed the ratihcatiou
of toe Constitution submitted at ibe June elec
tion, not becau-e it couiormi-d to the "tonsres
sioial plau," but, dinUnotly, because it aid not.
Whenever a ooustiiu.iou is submittel in strict
cou'ormity to that or any similar "plaa" thtit
Congiess may propose, I will alvucite its
ratiticat'on. tor be it known, that I acknow
ledge the power and tne ngtil of Couffre9s,
speakintr for the conqueror, to dictate tf rros to
the conquered. If in doing this it violates the
l-'ederil Constitution, our appeal is to the
Sopieme Court. If it violates the lavs of
humanity, our appeal is to the judgtneut of the
world. Beyond these appeals, we are absolutely
without a remedy. We tried the bullet aud lost
we tried the ballot and lost aguiu. 1 onnot
be misttikn in supposing tht a very large
ma)nriry of onr tbougbtlul anil deserving people
concur with me in tue opinion iha', we can do
nothing but submit, ami as we buv it to do,
'twere better to do it quickly. Very truly,
jour obedient servant, A. G. Bit iwn.
MADRID.
Iclornble Condition of Affair In
tho
BHilhU Capital.
A corref pondcat writing from Madrid, Spain,
68jr:
The state of this city is deplorable. The Btreets
are dirty and literally swarming with beggars.
The compaiatively lew carriages that pass along
are surrounded by groups of poor families of
respectability, whose fathers, sous or brother.-,
bavins been suddenly deprived of otlice, are
literally starving. This Is no exaggeration. Tho
ULder Secretary of State knows ho maoy a
bis relatives and Iriends have stepped into their
places. Some time ago the privato part of the
Reilro Gardens, where only the roval family
were admitted (except ou certain days, wueu
tickets 01 admission were given), was thrown
open to the public. At an early hour it was
invaded by a tumultuous crowd of men, womn
and children, who proceeded to rush Into the
rustic cottages built in the days of Queen Cnris
una for tbe amusement of the little queen aud
her sister, breakiue aud demoll hiug the furni
ture and destroying the toy houros, to pelt the
f wans in the ponds, to tear down the swings, and
otherwise to assert their rights as free citizens.
An order has been issued that the ga'.es are to
be closed in future, which has ca ised much
discontent.
A rule took place latch of the furniture of the
Count and Countess of liirgeuti, which had been.
sent on iroro l'aris shortly o-tore the revolution
tor the palace which it was their iuten'l n to
build In Madrid. It was eagerly bought up,
tbc most splendid articles going lor tho most
trifliTg J net b.
The vouug Infanta and her husband are said
to be living quie.ly at Worthing, in s ngiaad
boating, riding amusing themselves like private
individual-, and taking no part whatever in
b Hulsh affairs.
A fewniirhtsago, at theCasino, itwas amusing
enotiL'h to listen 10 the Babel of tonurucs hh.i
the variety ot opinions ou the great qups'.ions
of the day. Some declared the meeting of tbe
Cortts lo bo au impossibility; some laid high
waeti9 on the suoeets of the Carlists and trie
accession of their representative, the Duke of
Madrid, as be is called. Most ot tbe members
betted cn tbe republic, and many 011 wuat ihev
called the only logical tolutiou of the problem
the election ot tne young rrinc9 ot Astunas.
In lact, the variety of opinions was so great,
and the list or candidates bo long, tbat were it
not foi the vl'al importance ot tbe result one
rniybt be disposed to join with Li Gorda in
turnli.g tbo whole question into ridicule,

MICH IU AN UNIVERSITY.
Nome Interesting: Information Relatlug
Thereto.
Tbe followine facts concerning the Michigan
University, lrom the Governor's message, are of
general interest:
Ihe university ot fti cu eau co nmeDcea its
operations in 1811, and althougu among tbe
youngest ot tbe great colleuiiie iustitntions of
America, has already auainel to the rJrst rank.
both at nome and abroa i. it is a state Institu
tion; its board of regents, under whose care an l
control it is placed, are elected directly by the
people; 11 is a part ot tue general educatioual
svktem of the State. Its catalogue preseuu a
list of ihirty-flve processors. Its present number
ot students is lt'8'J; In the department ot scieuce,
litera'ure, aud the arts, 409; in the department
of med cine and suigcr.v, 350; and in the depart
ment 01 law, a.tu. f or me last ave ye irs it ns9
avtraeed more than a thousand students. Tbe
income of tbe uuiversity for its last financial
year was $G2,722'82, derived from tbe following
source:- lutertst from the uiivereitv lund,
$37,085-22; from students' fees, $35,086. Al
though this is a state intitutlou. and has Iluist
and justly been tbe pride, of the people, no part
ot its endowment has beeu derived from the
btate. Its tuid is tne proceeds trom sales of
lands donated by the General Government, and
is as follows:
Trust Fund, with the Sta'e (in
eluding amount remitted, Act iso.
143. 1 s of 18591. 7 per cent. . . $105,!)02,53
Wn paid balances due on University
lands, 7 tcr cent loi.uioMi
Total .$353.97799
Only 230 acres cf University lands reuiaiu un
sold. While the corps of profes-ors, bjth in
number and ability, will compare favorably, an 1
the number of students is larger than iu the
oldest and most popular colietrcs of the lund,
its eudowmcnt tuud is very much smaller. The
aunual receipts of the University from all
sources have been barely sufficient to meet tb.9
currei.t expenses, managed, as they have been,
in tbe most careful anl economical mtnoer. It
is doubttul, ut least, whether the Uuivpr9lty can
contiuue to maintain its present hiuh position
among the best institutions of learning in the
land, without some additional provision tor
the improvement of the build. ngs, the steady
increase of its 1 brary, and tor an Increase in
the Eumber aud salary of its protestors.
