Ah Amrican!setmpi ltt3burji Tciegfaiii: . .. ... : Mfc John Bei tier, a youngPitkburger. who went o -Brazil to seek , a for: tune almost seven years ago, has retained to his home in this. .city. He does not give. a yery glowing account of the country, and $tatesrthat the opportunities presented tii ere for the en eouragemont of American enterprise are nof very extensive without large financ mi resources. It is hardly tne place for young men of even more
than ordinary pluck and energy to visit and grow up with the country am less
they have money and are prepared to
grow slowly. The country is flooded
with An erican inventions, and knickknacks, and the listless Brazilians, who In former times looted upon such nov
el ties from tne states as grea t d isco veries, have lapsed Into a state of more or 1S3 indifference. The telephon e has
been in use for many months, the roll
er skates , as one of the sports in the
large cities aud other contrivances
have lost their, novelty. Mr. Beitler says that the native . Brazilians are gradually becoming more "civilized' since the number of Englishmen', Americans, and comers from all quarters t f the globe are introducing cus torn s as new to the natives as they are frequent Rio Janeiro, with its 400,000 inhabitants, is gradually assuming metropolitan airs, arid yOu can ride all through its paved streets in a Pennsylvania street car. Mr. Beitler reports that the country is traversed by a number of railroads .all narrow feuage, hoWeverj save tbe Dom Pedro road, ahd one which was built by English capitalists and operated by Englishmen. The former roaa owns 200 Baldwin locohiotives. One of the best engineers on the road is a young', man named Lewis, formerly of Allegheny City, ftiost of the other engineers are natives and most of them know as much about the locomotive" as the hind brakeman. So says Mr. Beitler. The chief industry of Brazil, the cultivation of coffee, is gradually diminishing according to same authority. Many of the planters are leaving for Central America and Mexico, which Mr: Beitler thinks Is destined to become a great country for industry. - ' .

This is an astounding statement yet a gentleman of this city, who was a surgeon in the Union army during the rebellion, f aid to us weeks before the President's death "He cannot possibly lecover, he is simply rotting to death." .

When the weary and wounded President was whirled to Long Branch to get the pure air of the sea, they stood by the side of the railway track: in solemn silence aud imcovered heads, not even whispering lest they disturb the sufferer. When death claimed him. and his body was borne to its-final home, they gathered again and stood in silent throngs far into the night to catch a glimpse of all that suffering had left to the man they had learned to love and honor.

The answer to this question has puz zled liistoi ians not a little,, and! the ncrinj mious years passed bftwcien C'brnVallis and Sir Henry Clinton, his then tcbief, rather obscures than illuminates the su bject. Three years and a half after the beginning of actual armed resistance to the British domiuitidn , the effort to overcome th it resistance at the North was confegsed a failure. Although the efforts of the combined American and French forces to drive the English from Jthode Islandi n the previous August had proved unsuccessful, the close of 1778 taw the American cause far stronger than at any time since lue outbreak of actual hostilities. 1 1 was therefore decided to try another plan than thai hiltm'to pursued by the British. . The war was to be transferred to the South in the hope that after Georgia, the Carolinas and Virgiui:ihad been subdued, the Middle and New England States could ha more easily handled An army and fleet were dispatched to Savannah and afterwards another to Ciharleston, and in bo ch places success crowned the mo vemen t.

The battle of Guilford-Ctmrr-hpuse was fought in March, and was almost a neceteary antecedent to Yorktcwn. It was a British victory, but it was bought dearly, and it led Gornwallis to decide that before the more southerly States could be thoroughly subjugated Virginia would have tons conquered. Hence his march northward in May a mrch which his superior at New York, Sir Henry Clintdhydid hot approve of, boweVer, Before Comwailis arrive f in Virginlr, Sir Henry Clinton had sent two expeditions to ravage ihe coant. To oppose them Washington had dispatched Lafayette with 1,200 men, O.i May 20

Fork, which Stub en was guarding with
some 500 militia. In the meantime
Lafayette had received reinforcements
in the shape of 1 000 Pennsylvanian inlantry under Wayne's command.
He followed Core wall in, and prevented
any mrtner destruction of stores. Steuben's troops were joined to his owu and Comwailis went to Richmond.
He did not remain there long,, though,
but moved to WiJiiamsbunr, closelv

andjpushed on to Yorktown; where he began throwing up fortifications. This
was in the first week of August, 1781.
Sir Henry Clinton's orders were the
result of the junction of the American
and French armies and the consequent
threatening aspect of affairs around New York. The all led army wa3 at least r match lor the British stationed around New York, the capture of which city was generally supposed to be its object. When Washington, however, heard that Comwailis was entrencring himself on the Virginia peninsula, he began to entertain a scheme for a movement southward This scheme was adopted when it was learned that Ihe Ooimtde Graspe, com-

a note from Washington, intimating that he expected thorn to be signed before eleven o'clock;, and that the troops would maich out and lay down their arms at two in the afternoon. Washington's request was complied with. A t 2, o'clock sharp t he army of Corn wallis marched out The march was along the Hampton road, on the right of which they found the Americans drawn up in their buff blue uniforms rather the worse for wear, and on the left were the French in the clean white affected by the armies at the Bourbon kings. The British had donned their best scarlet, and their bands played an old march called "The World Turned Upside Down." ' The next step was the grounding or arms by the surrendered troops. They marched the entire length of the Fran co-American lines about a mile -rito a iield on the right, where u spuadron of French huzzars had formed a circle into which each regiment marched and deposited their guns and accoutrements.

Tying the hair in a bunch he hi ud or on top of the head has been abandoned, as it makes thin and sometimes bald spots b ck of the ears and on the the top of the head. Ladies who are blessed with luxuriant hair are cautioned by the doctors to so arrange it as to allow the air to pats around the throat and to leave the iH?ek free.

We had an order recently for embroidered white slippers fr a bride to match a pair of white silk stockings with Chan tilly lace let in from the in step, and another pair of white silk embroidered with floss silk, the design Uing pale blue forget-me nofs aud pink roses. Black stockings are now superseded by embroidered stockings. We follow the fashion in stockings, and shoes and stockings will next year be sold to match. Open work U getting popular. Black silk stoekiugs are mado with a plain stripe, and there are open work stripes with white leet which show through open work in the shoes. There

The English Princess dress is tbe
leading style, fin! -bed with one or two
narrow ban as, with head pla'tingw. and a sash, collar, and cutis of the
tame or contrasting material. Flannels are made in the same way. A hood often takes the place of the collar.
and blue flannels trimmed with scarlet sai?h and hood are regarded as particu
larly stylish. Simple trimmed skirts,
a pointed overs Jrt, and a little round
jacket waist are shown for larger girls.
Plaited blouses, to be worn either be
neath the skirt or over it, vary the jackets. Collars for all dresses are
very large, and of the first importance.

David Davis, perhaps, more than
any other Senator, indulges in rhminscrint. nrenarine even a live-minute
speech with great care. This is his inflexible rule, and has been since he entered n lblic life. After he delivers his
speeches, or rather after he reads them, he hauds his manuscript to Mr, Murphy.the Senate stenographer, who seh'ds it ta the Government Printing OflJce. The coniposltots never have any attaithemas for the Jndges Writing, which is large,- distinct and full of
character.
Edmuuds never u'ses notes, and once
a1 speech is out of his mouth, he doesn't bothef his head atut it during all
the years he has been in the Senate, he has not revtsed a sihfe speech. He turns everytliing in his mind before hand, ancf never rises to address the
Senate without having weighed in the scales of his great m?nrf what he in
tends !:o FaV,
Ben Hill will speak for three htfafs
without a sraP' of paper. The only
preparation' he rnaketf is marking refer
ences and passages in tnw dook or that I have Seen hitU time and again thunder away for two hours without stopping even for a lass of water. He revises his speeches, however? rdafces additions s! id corrections in a clertf baud, iiiutfn like that of a college froy, and gives the printers little trouble with his proof. Hill has an astounding memory, and nc man in pub'ie lite, ex
cept JBdmunds, has such imperturbability. The onlymn who could well worry Hill or excite his wrath iu debate was the late Matt Carpenter. How it tickled Carpenter to put some adroit question to the Georgian and get him confused f -a hard thing to do at any time, bat Carpen ter; often succeeded. And it was mote the result of an irre sistible propensity for fun than anything else, for never was man who had less malice than Matt Carpenter, He had a heart as big as a mountain, He was exceediiiKly particular about his speeCes when! they were tipon legal otuest ions. After he got the proof from the foreman of the Kecord he Would hack it to pieces, send the Corrected iSro'of back get a second and treat it in Ifke maunr. Sis writing was characteristic, hard to read a rolliciking, harum-scaruhi sort of fist and a study to the printers. He used to say, "The shortest road is the best road when you are in a hurry f and though he cculd write a fine, full, round hand, he dashed ff everything at lighmii g speed. Another Senates who, like Edniunds, never revised a speech, was Thurman. Occasionalliy he spoke from mauueript but the stenographer took down every word he said, as the old gentlemen would forget his manuscript aud drift into extemporary eloquence, Thurman, though never a graceful speaker, was always forcible. He was, beyond doubt the ablest of the Democrats,and their leader from the time he entered the Senate. . Bayard works hard at1 his speeches, and though he writes them out and follows his manuscript closely, he revises after proof is taken. He makes few changes, however, but holds the proof very often, until 2 o'clock in the morning, as he spends his evenings generally in social circles, v He is a good penman, writing-a medium-sized running hand. - Lamar is a great reviser, cuts proof into tatters, writes a horrible hand, and tiiesthesoul of a printer. Occaaonally he goes down to the Government Printing office to took after his speeches, which, when published, are vastly different from the stenographer's report of them. Senator Conklihg seldom made a correction oi his utterances in the Senate Chamber. He is perhaps the best
extemporaneous speaker in the United
Statts, and even his reraarKs in running debate are splendid indices of great ability. During the extra session of the Forty-sixth Congress he deliver
ed a speech upon the Arnry Appropria turn bill without note, papers, book or reference of any kind. When the Vice -President announced4 'the Senator from New York," up rose the stately form of Boscoe Conkling. Never before or since had a Senator such an audience. He spoke four hours. Before the adjournment of the Senate 150,000 copies of his speech had been subscribed for. Every printing establishment in Washington sent to the Senator its lowest estimate. In a very short time, Oyster, one of the best living typos, and foreman of the Com greisional liecord, had the proof of the gaeat speech ready. He took It up to Wormfey's. about If o'clock in the morning andf.sked for Senator Conkling. ... VHe is not up yet,,,: said the private secretary: Hho Senator break
fasts about 11 ; however, as you are iu a hurry and want to see aiter the speech, I shall call him," Teli Mr. Oyster to come in ah 1 how do you do, Mr. Oyster?,,and Lord Chesterfield never was more polite than was Conkling in his nightshirt After rubbing bis eyes he looked at the proof, made a few changes, and struck out the
1 "Hon." before "Boscoe Conkling."
You will never find it prefixed to his
name in any speech intended for gen
eral distribution. After he received
the speech he wrote bis thanks, very
kindly, to Foreman Oyster, as follows

Of all the Senators, Conkling writes the best hand large, easy, graceful, aud legible. His si gnature, however, would , be a study to any onek not ao quainted with it. The present Secretary of Statct when a member of the Senate, used to look carefully after his speeches, which, lor the most part were made from head
ings." Probably there never was in the United States Senate a man who needed less preparation than James G, Blaine. He is infallible in history and impiregnable in debate. His memory of facts and laces is absolutely wonderful. He can begin with William the Concpierer and give you the name of every sovereign of England down to Victoria, with the dates of their reigns. Wow and then the Senator would give his personal attention to the printing of a speech. One morning Oyster found him buBily at work "cutting up
copy" for tne printers, uHelIo,Oystar,
ahead of me; but I went home only six hours ago, and shall be here for sixteen consecutive hours.'' "Well, I know the hard work, Oyster. I've been at it, and know what night work means." Voorhees prepares his speeches carefully and revises moderately. He is one of the few, very few, men who use manuscript in such a way, that not a single oratorical grace is diminished thereby. Whether this is because he
commits his speech well to memory or
not we never could tell. Ve rather
think he does. But, with or without manuscript, Voorhess is an orauorof
the hrst school. As a rule, the very
sight of manuscript in the hands of a
