THE BRAZILIAN EMPEROR.
An Inspection of the Pass Jetties,
South
Now York? Herald. ,5
The visij made by the Emperor yesterday to Port Eads proved singularly interesting, not only from the importance^ of the engineering experiments there being successfully made, but as an illustration of the untiring energy and invincible pluck of the American character.
His Majesty was accompanied by the Viscount de Bom Retiro, and went on
board
the yacht Julia, belonging to the contractor, Colonel Andrews. It is a
very
gem of a steam yacht. New Yorkers will be interested to know that this craft is no other than the V\ illiam 1 weed, the favorite pleasure boat ot the fugitive Boss.
Captain Eads met the imperial party on the wharf and conducted them on board, where a few prominent merchants of New Orleans interested in the construction of the jetties were piescntcd.
The sail down the river at night was interesting, the city, with its leagues of s'lore lights, appearing to great advantage. By live o'clock Sunday moining the jetties at the mouth of the South Pass of the Mississippi were reached, and the party landed to examine the system of preparing the materials for the construction of the jetties. Nothing ould be more simple or more effective, as is amply demonstrated by the work already accomplished.
The system followed consists in the construction of large willow mattresses which are towed to the place they are to occupy in the line of the jetties and sunk by stones being placed upon them and the gradual saturation of the willows.
The river water, flowing through these layers of twigs, deposits clay and sand, and in a short time a solid bank is formed. The jetties already formed extend over a mile, and the laud behind them is rapidly shoaling, thus securing their permanence.
The object proposed to be attained by jettying the South Pass of the Mississippi is the deepening of the mouth ot that river so as to allow ships ol heavy draught to reach New Orleans.
Congress has made a law authorizing these jetty works, but stipulating that the works should be carried on wholly at the risk of the concessionaires. Congress agreed to pay the sum ot 1(15,000,000 when the engineers appointed by the government shall report the existence of thirty feet of water in the South Pass of the Mississippi, agreeing, however, to pay $1500,000 as soon as a depth of twenty feet had been obtained. In other words the undertakers of this important improvment were obliged to accept the whole risk of their undertaking and are not to receive a dollar of the public money until they have achieved success.
When the jetty works
were
undertaken
the South Pass was wholly useless for commerce. According to the caretul C«ast Survey map the depth of the water was only seven and eight feet on the bar.
During His Majesty's visit soundings were taken out to the deep sea, and the depth ranged from thirty-five to seventeen feet, the last depth only occuring once on a point of hard clay bottom, which is wearing away, but more lowly than the other points of the river.
This wonderful result has been obtain ed bv simply confining the waters at the mouth of the river, and forcing them out in a compact column. Following a natural law the river is rapidly ploughing out a channel large enough to accomodate the volume that is torced to pass between the jetties instead 01 ."spreading itself over a vast area of shoal. The increased depth yt' water has therefore been created bv the action of the river itself, working with a force and persistence altogether superhuman.
The success of Captain Eads works will change the whole future of the Mississippi Valley, and there is no longer any reason to doubt his complete success, because what has already been accomplished has been demonstrated beyond cavil the soundness ot the principles uhich have directed the construction ot the
^IHs Maiesty was deeply interested,and expressed surprise that private citizens should carry out such important public works at their own risk. His Majesty was delighted with Captain Eads, and expressed a hope that he would pay a visit to Brazil, where His Majesty promised him a warm and hearty reception
In conversation with the Herald correspondent His Majesty said that Captain Eads was a wonderful man: that he had been delighted and instructed by the clear explanations given by the Captain, and that before being an engineer Captain Eads was a savant." lie said he already knew Mr. Bay ley, the assistant engineer, by reputation, in Rio, and was surprised that he had never heard Captain Eads' name.
At a quarter to seven 0 clock the nilperial party left New Orleans by the Mobile Railway, with their destination for Washington, where their Majesties hope to arrive on Wednesday evening, May 31.

and Arkansas, and is probably by this time down into Texas, as he tdld me he
intended to shape his course that way. Mr. Freeman is a "gentleman of leisure," and having the means he spends a good deal of his time in-picniting in the woods. •On his
upicnie#"
he is accompanied only
bv his gun and dog.,Being provided with *11 the modern improvements in the way of
fire
arms and apparatus, and being a
crack
shot, he is generally successful in the hunt. However, his success might be limited'were it not for the good nullities of his Big gray dog, a specimen •f the canine rttctf such as one reads about, but seldom see's. It was on a steamer bound
for
Kansas City that I saw
the traveller and his sagacious companion. Before becoming acquainted with the gentleman I could not help but notice the aog, which for the first day or two ot the trip kept a position at the door of the steward's cab, vfhere the trunks were piled. Mine was at the side of the pile furthest from the dog, while that of Mr. Freeman was just by the door. The dog did not ever molest me when I would go to my trunk to get anything out of it, and would not even growl, but though not»
muscle of his expressive face moved, a li^ht would come into his eyes as he looked a? me, different, from their ususil dark but
good
natured gleam. He did
not even raise his head, or move a paw. he was silent as a log and yet when that strange light came into his eyes Iwo*lq not have Undertaken to "meddle with him" for a thousand dollars.
That dog was the handsomest beast I ever saw. He was very large, but muscular and active, with deep chest, black ears, a large head in which was evidently an unusally good quality ot brain, and eyes that expressed any emotion that can be told by the human eye. The muscles of his powerful big legs knotted as he romped about the de:k, and when he would turn somersaults his big body woiild come down with a sounding thump on the floor. This the steward would always make him do before giving Ca-lo his breakfast. "Get over now," was the order, and the dog would obediently proceed (.0 turn a complete somersault and then bark once to "speak for it.'
Mr Freeman had had a photograph ta ken of Carlo, in which the intelligent beast was well shown, in a sitting posture not having moved a hair. A wood cut was made from this, which was published in a monthly paper printed in Chicago and devoted exclusively to the subject of dogs. Mr. F. told me several stories about Carlo, which I promised to write for the G'AZETTIC, but some of which I have now forgotten. One of them, however, is
very
remarkable, Two carpen
ters were at work in a new church building that was in course of completion, their benches being fifty feet or more apart. The_ dog was In the habit of makinir daily visits to them, being sui-e of a welcome and a petting. One morning the smoothing-plane of one of the carpenters became nicked, by striking a nail or something of that kind, and he wanted to exchange planes with the other until noon, being engaged in a part of the work that needed more particular care. The exchange was made. Soon thereafter Carlo arrived on his regular visit. As usual, the first thing he did was to jump up on the carpenters' benches, having a delight carrying awav an awl or a chisel or some little° thing", to tease them awhile before returning it. This time he had not been long with them than he seemed to detect that something was wrong. Smelling about on first one bench and then the other, he finally, to the immense astonishment of the two men seized the smoothing plane of one and carried it to the other bench, and then brought back the other plane! It must be remembered, .too, that the exchange had been made while the dog was absent.
On another occasion, Mr. Freeman, who seems to have been formerly an architectural contractor, left some tools in
one
of the front doors of a church where lie had been making some repairs. This was on Friday evening. Next day he
dog
was missing. He did not go to
his work that day, being detained else where until the Tuesday following. In thfe meantime the dog had not been seen at his home, which was at some distance from the church. On Tuesday be went back to complete his work, and there found the dng, half starved. He had been there all that time, guarding those tools, and on Sunday the people had been compelled all to go through the other door, as the dog would not let anybody pass where he was.
Mr. Freeman told me—and I have no reason whatever to doubt his word—that he could send the dog here or there after any little article known to him that Carlo would return on any trip and get anything that had been l}tt that no fences were needed where he was, since he would either keep cattle in an enclosure or would keep others out, whichever was necessary. He was of an Australian breed, and though a dignified fellow enough he would allow children to tumble all over him and would trot along under as many as could straddle his broad back. In "camping out," while on a long hunt, his^ master always used the dog for a pillow and was as safe

Somewhere in the West or Southwest Mr. P. B. Freeman is now on a hunting Expedition, exploring the cquntry in Kan
thieves cr wolves as it
he was in a house. Whenever he was hunting ducks the dog would go to the further side of any pond to drive a flock toward him. On one occasion the beast had swam a small lake, in Michigan, to follow his master, who had gone across in a boat. It was during the night, and he was in the water three-quarters of an hour.
One more story that Mr. Freeman told me was that at tfte house of his brother, in Illinois, he had consented for him to use his gun on a hunt in which a Pa*"^ of the neighbors Avere about to start. He then went away, having business at a neighboring town. When his brother went into the house to get the gun, the do"- followed, and seeing him take it from corner, the animal seized stock of the weapon with his teeth, and held to it. At this the man put it back. Waiting a little while, he tried it again but Carlo had his eye that direction, and again seized it. A good deal of strategy ensued on the part ot Mr Freeman's brother. But though the dog •would play with him in the utmost good humor, and tumble about with the most boisterous fun, every time he attempted to take the gun the headstrong animal was right there and would prohibit this movement -without any compromise. At last, in despair, the man had to leave the dog master of the situation and go with the other hunters without a gun, though of course he could
have
little hope of
pleasure, not having a weapon. :V: MAK.

The room became so crowded that it became necessary to procure more seats. There were chairs stowed carefully away in the attic one of the members went up to hand them down the leader gave out the hymn, "Hold the Fort." The attic floor consisted of the plastering which constituted the ceiling of the room below, of which circumstance the chair seeker not aware. So just as the choir commenced the first stanza, down came one leg of the unfortunate chair-hunter. The choir, however, did not notice the circumstance, and went on singing, "IIo my comrades, see the signal waving in the air, reinforcements now are coining," etc. Just at this instant the other leg appeared, and the singing was drowned^ by the roaring laughter of the congregation.
THE youngest preacher in the world has appeared phenomenally in Tennessee. He is not yet five years old, but he has become possessed of the idea that he is "called," and does not go about in a playful, childish way, but with gravity and dignity. The Edgefield (Tenn.) paper from which we have this, says: "He has preached from one to five sermons per day since his arrival in this locality. Last Saturday, while delivering a sermon to some of his littie playmates in his uncle's front yard, quite a crowd ot passers-by collected to hear him. Wholly unabashed, the young orator continued his sermon in regular orthodox style, holding his audience for twenty minutes, if not spell bound, at least considerably interested, and, when his discourse was finished, the audience was dismissed with all the ease, grace and solemnity of an ancient divine. For one ot such tender years, he certainly discovers a remarkable talent for acting, and no little genius in arranging his ideas for utterance

When a medicine will cure promptly such terrible eating ulcers and free the blood of the virulent poison causing them, who can longer doubt its wonderful virtues? Dr. Pierce,, however, does not wish to place his Golden Medical
I ommend it but what he does claim is this, that there is but one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that is cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to be the most searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free the blood and system of all other known blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Discovery is warranted by him to cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all forms of blotches, pimples and eruptions' and all glandular swellings, and the worst forms of scrofulous and ulcerated sores of neck, legs or other parts, and all scrofulous diseases of the bones, as white swellings, fever sores, hip joint and spinal diseases, all of which belong to scrofulous diseases. feeMs&c
