Ambassador to Brazil, Writes a Most Interesting Let ter to His . Home Folks. Petropolis, Brazil, April 14. My Dear Sir : As to your request to write something for publication in The Topic I can, at most, only give yovj a letter con taining some memoranda of Brrfzil, and leave yon at liberty to fill out, and publish such as you choose; or to commit the whole ti the "waste basket." For many reasons I am not in a position to write for publi cation; I appreciate the desire of so many friends, in the State, to hear from me ; and thfe readiness of the press to give them the. slightest -information of which it may be pos sessed. I have written nothing for publication, and some things written to friends have been published which I regretted ; but know'ing the mo tive that prompted itj and seeing the kindness with which it has been received by the people I have not found it in my heart to complain. It is no idle declaration! I make when J tell you I treasure up, with all the pride of which the human heart is capable, every evidence of interest or approval the people of North Carolina show for mej The kind words and warm sentiments of re gard that have come tj me in this far off land, from the people of my dear old State, through' letters and some papers, have filled me with a joy and a gratitude tht no language at my command can eipress. And. in this connection, I desire to thank you for your thoughtfulness in send ing me The Topic. I have read it with interest and pleasure. I get a number of papers from the State some from one section and some from another. Our mail facilities, from the United States to Rio, are so meagre that these papers are old (from thirty to sixty days) when they get here, but I do! not overlook a single thing in them. They all " possess a peculiar interest for , me. Even the locals 'of the remotest weekly paper have their interest. I have been into every cottnty in North Carolina. I have spokien in every county in the State. I have friends and acquaintances in every county. I have quite a good memory 'of lo calities ; and I retain n my mind a good pictuie of most of the cities, towns and localities of the State; so, that when I read that improvements are being made in this! or that town, or section, I have a fajrly accurate idea as to where it is, 4nd I heartily rejoice to read it. . I mention these facts in explanation of what I have said about the peculia:r interest 1 take in reading every thig'n a'l tne papers I get from the State. But while it is of North Carolina that I love to write, it! is of Brazil that vou wish some information. I must", therefore, beg your pardon for the digression, and proceed to i give you the promised memoranda about this great Empire. As teach ins by contrast and comparison is one oi tnesimpiesi aim, i tc oauic i i 1 m time, most impressive instruction, I shall i methods of pursue that method in what 1 may write you about this country, leaving you to make such use of.the idata as you may prefer. . j , Brazil is about the size of the United States, with Alaska left off. The surveys of Brazil have not been made with the same degree of accu racy as those of the United States. Some authorities put the number of square miles in Brazil kt 3,000,000, and others as high as 3,275,000. So, too, there are differences in the esti mate of the actual number of square 'milt's in the United States. It is, however, safe to say that Brazil is eomething larger in area than the United States, with Alaska left off. While the discovery pt North and SouthAmerica occurred substantially about the same time, the settlement of South America, by Europeans, was commenced several years before that of North America. It is some what difficult to fix the exact dates, because of the many f unsuccessful efforts, but it is certain that perma nent settlements were made m Bra zil before ,they were in the United States. r -The growth of the United States has been much more rapid than that of Brazil. I do not undertake to give the causes, but simply to state the fact. In the matter of popula tion, I think on the -1st day of Jan. 1886, the United States, counting all nationalities and races, had a population of nearly sixty millions, and Brazil a population of twelve millions. In the matter of devel opment and accumulation, the con trast is still more striking ; but I would not have you j believe that Brazil is without its fair share of progress. The differences arise, more from the unexampled rapidity with which our country has grown, than the slow progress made by Bra zil. Compared with any other coun try Brazif wUl-be in the front rank. "The United States was-6tfed chiefly by the English, while Brazil was settled by the Portugese. Each country has inherited much of the language, customs and peculiarities of Its mother country. One of these peculiarities I will mention by way of contrast. In Brazil, the people have a fancy for long names, lne name - of- the present Emperor as published in the books is, "Dom Pedro, Segundo, d Alcantara, Joao, Carlos, Leopold o, Francisco, Xavier, de Paulo Leocadio. Michel, Gabriel, Raphael Gonzaga." One of the greatest and best men that attained the Presidency of our great country, during our day and generation, bore the Drief and sim ple name of A. Lincoln. Under Mr. Lincoln, slavery, with its niul ti plied curses, was destroyed, and the Uhion with its manifold bless ings was preserved. Under the reign of Dom Pedro, the slave trade was destroyed, and the gradual abolition of slavery commenced. While the Emperor has not been as bold . and outspoken as Mr. Lincoln was. he has given many evidences of his de sire to see the last slave in his Em pire set free ; and it is said that, the present emancipation laws will' ac complish that end in the next six years. What we call States, the Brazilians call 'Provinces' In many of the Provinces there are but few slaves, and ia some of them none. Slavery has the strongest footing in the coffee growing dis tricts, as it did with us in the cotton growing districts. The Northern Provinces grow but little coffee and in them there are no slaves or, if ' any, but few. Under the present laws the slaves are valued and paid for. There are societies engaged in collecting funds to purchase the freedom of the slaves, in addition to such action by the Government. It is said that the Emperor is a large contributor to these emancipation funds. Many are set free in this way. . In Rio it is generally done with public ceremony on some great public day, or "Festa," the Empe ror, the Empress or the Princess Imperial distributing the "Liberty Cards." Both countries! have been great slave holding countries, and at some time in the history of each, it was general, in the then inhabited sections of each. In one in ours it has been abolished, and in the other it soon will be. Any commen dation of the process resorted to in one country over that of the other, would be worse than a useless waste of time. We know how it was done in our country and I am not bold or speculative enough to say it could have been done in any other way. The Nerth as well as the South was responsible for slavery, its ships brought the slaves to our shores and its best men helped make the con stitution which fixed the status of the institution, and it paid with its blood and treasury its full share of the penalty ; for, disguise the facts as "we may, slavery lay at the bottom of the causes of our war. As gladly as I would restore to ourcountry its lost heroes, who fell in that bloody conflict, as gladly as I would .give back to the hundreds of thousands of desolated, hearth stones, from Maine to Texas, from Carolina to California, their loved and lost ones, as gladly as I would tear- from our country's history that bloody page, and obliterate from the mindsof the people all memory thereof, I would not do one of these things ; nay, I would not do them all, if it were in my power ; if to do them involved the reestablishment of slavery or the dissolution of the Uniton. The great central figure in the conflict which eventuated in the destruction of slavery, and the preservation of the Union in our country was Abraham Lincoln. And here let me record a little coincidence. We have hang ing upon our walls in our little par-' lor a calendar, made in the United States, called the "Lowell Calen dar." For each day a little leaf has to be torn off, and upon each is a motto sometimes historical, some times poetical, but always suggestive of elevated thought and feeling. This letter, as you will see from its date was commenced on the 14th, but I stopped that night at the words '.'Liberty Cards' This morn ing the 15th I resumed the writ ing, and just about the time I had written what I have said about the abolition of slavery and the preser vation of tho Union, and Mr. Lin coln's position, Mrs. Jarvis, as is her custom, pulled off the little leaf from the calendar and read tho mot to for the 15th of April. It is in these words : "Never before that startled April morning did such multitudes of men shed tears for the death of one they had never seen. Never was funeral mnegyric so eloquent as the silent ook of sympathy, which strangers exchanged when they met on that day. Their common manhood had lost a kinsman." The coincidence, as you will readily see, is in the fact that I should have happened to be writing about these tilings on the anniversary of that April day so full of calamity to the South. I say so full of calamity, because I believe had Mr. Lincoln , lived, we would have been spared the humiliation, punishment and plunder to , which we were subjected. Whatever - my opinion may have been of him then I can truthfully say now, that ray heart responds as warmly to every wdrd and sentiment of this beautiful tribute as does that of any of those who shed tears on that April morn ing twenty-one years ago. In Brazil Dom Pedro II has been the central figure in the gradual emancipation of the slaves and in the preservation of the Empire. On the 2nd day of December, 1885, he was sixty years old. He was pro claimed Emperor at six years oi age on the abdication of his father in 1831, but he was not crowned Em peror till 1841 when he was sixteen the country being governed in the meantime by a Regency. His long and useful reign has given to his country peace and a fair share of prosperity. It is an Empire in name, in form and system of Government ; but the citizen has the hi i gest degree of personal liberty. The Emperor sets the example by letting every body praise him, or abuse him to their hearts' content. He is simple and affable in his manners, and ea sily approachable He is a very early riser and discharges the duties of the day with sj'stenTand regular or der. In Petropolis he may be seen' any day walking the streets at his usual hours for exercise, with as m.uch simplicity and as little- show as an ordinary citizen. In Rio he may be seen going from one school to another, or from one public en terprise to another, to foster and encourage that which he thiuks is contributing to the prosperity of his country, and the happiness of his people. In personal appearance he is of blond complexion, about 6 feet two inches high and weighs, I gues3, about two hundred and forty pounds. In 1843 he was married to "Dontia Theresa Christina Maria," daughter of Francis I, King of the two Sici lies, one of the most universally es teemed and beloved women I have ever seen. His only living child is the Princess Imperial, "Donna Isa bella, Christina, Leopoldina, " Au gustina, Michelle. Gabreelle, Raph aelle, Gonzaga " She was married m 1864 to Count Dee of the Or leans family of France. Count DVe had two near relatives on McClel lan's staff during our war. The Count was a great admirer of Mc Clellan, and from him I first learned of the General's death lie reads the Anu ji inan newspapers and is well informed as to our country. The" Princess will succeed the Emperor to the throne upon his death. She is not without some experience as a ruler, she having discharged . the duties of the Emperor during his visit to our country in 1870, and during his tour of" Europe. She will be a worthy successor to a wor thy Emper r. But recurring again to the Bra zilian fondness for long names I can assure you it is not confined to the nobility. In our country we -consider "Edmund Jones," a name suf ficiently long and that brief name , some insist on shortening into "Coot Jones." Here "O Senhor Douto. Candido Fernaudes da Casta Gui maraes Junior," is not considered a long name. Brazil, as you will see by reference to the map, lies almost entirely South of the tquator. Hence the seasons are just the reverse of what they are in our own country. When this reaches yoit the farmers in your section will have just completed their planting, while here they will about have completed their harvest ing. hen you were shivering in the cold in January, we were scorch ed with heat here. There is, how ever this material difference. It never gets very cold here. I would say the winter here is about like the months of April, May and October with you, except, it is never as cold as you have it in early April and late October. Ia the extreme South ern part of Brazil it gets much cold er than here our coldest weather here, and there being in July and August. Rio de Janeiro as j'ou will see by looking at the map is just in side the tropic. Hence it marks the southern limit of the sun's, annual 1'ourney to the south. The last of )ecember he came and stood for a day or soiright over us, and poured his rays of heat and light straight down upon us. He is how journey ing northward but he halts long be fore he gets so near to you and turns back in this direction." ' I landed in Rio the 7th of July and from then to the middle or last of November, I found the climate very delightful ; but, by the first of December the heaVbegan to be op pressive, and the yellow fever threat ening, so I left there on the 10th of December and came here to this re ally pleasant and lovely little moun tain city.. This is the summer home of the Emperor and many wealthy Brazilians. Nature, art and money combined have made it one of the ' loveliest places I have ever seen. The climate is very much like that of Boone in July and August ex cept this place, being so near the ocean has a very damp climate and the long rains and heavy, fogs make it less pleasant. It is thirty miles from Rio, less from the ocean and about three thousand feet above it. The prevailing wind is from the east and south east, and these, com ing long distances over the ocean, are heavily laden with moisture; and when they strike the colder mount ain air, their moisture is condensed and deposited in dense fogs and heavy rains. But for this excessiye moisture in these eastern winds the -neat in Rio and. other coast cities would be dreadful. As it is the thermometer , rarely gets as high here as it sometimes does in our country. One could stand the heat of the summer here Yery well, if prepared for it by the invigorating effects of a cold winter. u' All warm and no cold makes Jack a dull boy." In Petropolis the nights are cool and in the day the heat is not op- zt .. . j ' . ..-. ! pressive, n one uoes nut go in, me. sun. Its great advantage is its secu rity from yellow fever. A few persons have died with it here but in each case it 'was contracted in Rid and in no case has it been taken by others. Many persons go to Rio in the mor-' ning and return in the evening and even that is thought to be safe. It is only those who remain m the city during the night that are thought to be in danger. The fever has been very bad in Rio this season, it i being atj'ts worst in the month of March. During that month the deaths from fever in and around Rio must have been from from fif ty to seventy a day. It is now sub siding and I hope by the first of June 'it will so disappear that it will ; be safe to return. In our country the flowers bud and bloom in spring time, and then die and disappear before the ap proach of .winter. Here they bud and bloom perpetually. There is not a day in the year when they may not be seen growing in the gardens and by the way "side. The "grove?,; the shrubbery and the forests too are ever green, but the growth in forests so far as I have seen is small thick and almost impenetrable. The shrubbery in the gardens is rich in every color, hue and shade. In our country, the people drink coffee at meal times and many drink whiskey and brandv between meals. Here they drink wine at meals and coffee and! tea between meals. It is rare one sees a druaken man here. You know how is is in our country. In our country most men chew tobacco ; and the habifeis so univer sal that men feel at liberty to chew and spit whero they please. In church es the, soil the floors and in parlors they fill the spittoons, yet a gentle man will not dare light a cigar in the presence of a lady without her permission. Here it is rare to find a man that chews ; and no one would dare take a chew in the presence of a lady. But here nearly everybody smokes ; and the smokers do not hesitate to smoke to their hearts' content in the first class cars on the railroads or at the hotel tables, no matter how many ladies may be preseni. Which country has the advantage in this particular, ! leave you to say; I am inclined to think if the Americans would modify their chewing habits and" the Bra zilians their smoking habits both would be the better for it. Accor ding to my limited information and observation no one country has a monopoly of the virtues or the vi ces.. - . : '; ; ' ''. ;' - ' ',-: I will however, mention one thing in whicK Brazil has' the decided ad vantage of the United States, and with that I think-; I will close this rambling letter. That , is in the matter of trade and commerce with each other. In 1885 Brazil sold to the United "STates over 50,000,000 worth of her products chiefly coffee and- rubber. The United States sold to Brazil less than $8,000,000 worth, of her products. These fig ures are substantially correct. If there is any change in this condition of our trade it must be-made by our law makers at home and not by our ministers abroad. . Yes, I will mention one other dif ference between the two countries, and "then," as our friend Gen. Leach used to say, "I am done." Brazil has an empty treasury and the United States a full treasury. But in this particular Brazil will compare favorably with any other country with whose condition I, am at all familiar. In every other country in the world the Legislative bodies and- Treasury Departments are troubled with empty Treasuries and much of their time , is taken up in trying to devise new ways and means to raise more money. In our country and in our country alone the Legislative Body and Treasu ry Department are perplexed and worried with a full Treasury and much of the time of the Legislature is taken up in trying to devise ways and means to empty it. The best way to spend the surplus is - not to collect it. I began with North Carolina and you must allow me to end with North Carolina. This is election year in the dear old State. It will be the; first canvass in the State, since the war, in which I have not taken part. . 1 do not presume I will be needed, or missed, but I shall watch the course of events with no less interest than if T were actively engaged. The prosperity, progress and steady ad vancement of the State depends very largely upon the progressive spirit and forward action of the Leg islators chosen by the people. I trust each county will select its best men, and that there will be no back ward movement; but that each mem ber chosen putting himself in line with our patriotic, progressive Gov ernor will take for his work "North Carolina, the education of her chil dren and the development of herre- sources,' Thos. J. Jarvis. Little things will tell, especially little brothers. - The Kentucky Legislature has re jected a high license Bill. .":""'V. i "aaVaH i - It is said that the' haunting fear which how pursues the President is regarding a general strike among the tailors before that wedding suit is finished.
