A Beecher In Brazil.
Rev. T. K. Beecher, now traveling in Bra-
7. I, writes to the Elmira (N. Y.) Advertiser
, the following amusing account of a “ Beech-
t-r" in Brazil, whom he found in the country
vown of San Paulo, Brazil, where his last
letter was dated :
Judge my surprise at finding in this very
house Where I am entertained a young
Beecher at home before me. At dinner, the
first day. my host shouted out ‘ Beecbey,"
and then all of =i sudden it flushed over him
that llly name was the same. Becchey came
in demurcly, and stood for inspection—a
smart chlVL‘. year old colored girl named
Harriet Bret-lir‘r Stowe, but answering to
the “till“! Beecher exclusivdy. By the smile
.sln: awn-s me every time our eyes met, I am
sure she know-sour close relationship; and
begins to indulge expectations. Years ago
her owner offered her to Mrs. Stowe by let-
ter, but got no answer. Being the child of
the. must notorious thief on the plantation,
she (Beechey) honors her mother, and has
already a splendid reputation for skillful and
profitless pilfeifiig, a sort of magpie take and
hide. Such as she is, she does my chamber
wink, blacks boots, sweeps rooms, waits on
table, runs errands, wears two garments, is
rally to her owners, and smiling towards
me. I. must buy her a christening cup and
spoon of silver, and present it..l.o her in the
name of her neglectl'ul godmotlwr, my sis-
ter ! In
Mr. Beccher‘s letters are full of racy de-
scriptions of strange ‘I‘CHCS and customs
which Illtll‘l. hitn everywhere in his South
American lraviils. We give a few of his pie.—

In the States we have bootblacks—a brig-
ade of them in our large cities. They are
lioys’iisinilly. But in Rio, on the broad Run
Dircitn, occupying the most. extensive side-
walk of the city, are grown up while men,
with arm-chairs and lootstools, and umbrel—
las, iiivuiii-_r every passer to sit and have his
bums shined up. You sit in this chair, they
kneel down at your feet, and for two cents
finish off your boots superbly.
l have seen a colored boy, 12 years old,
sitting in bi. chair smoking a cigarette, while
a full growh goodflo‘oking white man was
crawling round his feet. spitting and brush-
ing, all for tWo cents! Very curious to our
Yankee eyes is this univers:il equality which
we profess at home under democraticinsti
uni ins, but found for the first time in Bra-
zil, under the auspices of an Emperor and a
Pan, and iii a land of slavery. They tell
me that at least four-fifths of the Brazilian
army is made up of blacks. My own eyes

All the churches are liberally equipped
with bells. But they are not in chimes nor
have. I heard them ring musically except by
accident. The bells do not hang inside a
beltry, invisible, but are hung in the long
windows of the bellry, the iron spindles
being let into the thick walls of these solid
stone towers. Sometimes two bells of the
smaller sort hung in the same arched win-‘
dow, higb'up in the lower. N0 wheels and
long ropes reaching down to a ringcr’s loft.
But, instead, they send up a swarm of jolly
blacks, little and big, into the very belfry,
and there they catch hold of short ropes and
swing the bells in and out, till it seems as
it the noisy things were spilling out their
sound into the air, and then swinging back
to dip up some more out of the bulky. ,At
times, when very excited and- jolly, the bells
turn clean over, and would pull the ringers
out of the window, did they not let go the
ropes, which then fling out into the air like
whip lashes. At other limes, 1 know not
why, they send up into the bellry ll swarm
of little blacks, with sticks and little ham-
mers And there they pound and linkle and
jungle up a street full of hell tangle, till the
ear wean-s of if as of locust-dronings in the
summer.
’l‘liesi: hell ringings appear to be qiiile
anomalous. No one can tell me what they
tnellu. I find the church doors open when
no bell rings,- and shot when they are all a
pooling. 1 tiiid priests in lull rig.r serving at
the altar, without. any devotees at their
hick; and anon I find men and Qomen
bead-counting and pray erlut without ever a
priest or candle. And everywhere, in all
churches, i find the Virgin Mary far more
.eousliieuous, and, apparently, for more wor-
shipped and preached, than her Divine Son.
In one or two churches, my eye has With
difficulty detected the crucifix and its bur-
dens, so hidden and so. small do they make
it in comparison with the gaudy Queen of-
l'leiiveii who presides above the cross.

Shall I keep on telling the foreign things
that attract and surprise one? I saw, ii few.
days also, some young chickens. any four
wicks from the e 1;. Like some breeds we
have at home, they were scantily feathered
across the ham: and over the rump. Andso
the compassionate owner had mu to and put»
on each chick a red flannel cover encircling
lhcbody, with holes for the neck and legs
to come through. Queer little peeping red-
cmits. The same (liy [learned a new econ-
omy in poultry riisiog. As is well known,
cup-ins grow to larger size than cocks and
bees But they are of course unprofitable
usually, except [0 kill. But here, in this in-
geniously lazy land, they take a brood of
chickens from a hen, and give them to ii
capon to take care of’. Meantime, the hen
is shut up. led, and got to laying eggs as
soon as possible. Thus the cupons act as
dry n rsea,iind lcuvi: the liens abundant time
and strength for egg-laying labors.

- Those of our readers who were roused
from their commencing slumbers on the
night of the 9th of July, 1864, by the "pack
up cull" in the camp in front of Petersburg,
and who ten minutes thereafter were march-
ing through dust and darkness for City
Bowl, whence they were whisked over the»
waves to Washington City, did not fully»
comprehend at the time what it. was for, al-
they soon found out. The following story,
which is taken from Jubal Early's new his-
tory, will remind them of certain tough old
marches through Washington, Teniglytown,
Poolsville, Leesburg, Snicker‘s Gap, Monoc-
acy, &c. z
The rapid marching, which had broken
down a number of the men who were bare-
footed or weakened by previous exposure,
and had been left in the valley and directed
to be collected at. Winchester, and the losses
in killed and wounded at Harper’s Ferry,
Maryland Heights and Monocacy, had re-
duced my infantry to about eight thousand
mnskets. Of those remaining a very large
number were greatly exhausted by the last,
two days’ marching, some having been sun-
slruck, and I was satisfied, when we arrived
in front of the fortifications, that not: more
than one-third.of my force could have been
carried into action. I had forty pieces of
field artillery, the largest of which were 12-
pounder 'Napoleons, beside a few pieces of
horse artillery with the cavalry. ng'Caus-
land reported the works on the Georgetown
ike too strongly manned for him to assault.
ecould not move to the right or to the
left without its being discovered from a sig-
nal station on the top of the “ Soldiers’
Home," which overlooked the country, and
,lhe enemy would have been enabled to rush
to his works to meet us.
Under the circumstances, to have rushed
my men blindly against the fortifications
without understanding the state of things,
Would have been worse than folly. If we
had any trienils Ill Washington, none of them
came out to give us information, and this
suli~lied me that the place was not unde-
fentleil. I knew that troops had arrived
from Grant's army, for prisoners had been
captured from Rickclt‘s division of the Sixth
corps at Monocacy. From Sharpsburg I
had sent a message to Mosby, by one of the
men, requesting him to cross the Potomac
below limpet-’5 Ferry. cut. the railroad and
telegraph, and endeavor to find out the con-
dition of things in Washington ; but he had
not crossed the. river, and I had received no
information about him. A northern paper
Which was obtained gave the information-
tlmt Hunter, after moving up the Ohio river
in stciimboii's, W_zlS passing over the Balti-
more and Ohio lailroad, and I knew that he
would be at Harper‘s Ferry soon, as [inbo-
den had done very little damage to the road
west of Marlinsburg.
After dark, on the llt'i, I held a consulta-
tion with Major (n‘enerals Breckinridge,
Rhodes, Gordon and liiniscur, in which I
stated In tin-iii the danger of remaining
Where we were, and the necessity of doing
something immediately, as the possibility
was that the, passes of the South Mountain
and the buds of the Uppt'l' l’otouuic would
soon becltiseil against us. After interchang-
ing Views with them, being vcry reluctant to
abandon the. project of capturing Washing-
ton, I determined to iuiikc an assault on the
enemy’s WUI‘kS at. daylight the next morn-
ing, unless some, information should be re-
ceivcd beinrc that Iimeshowing its unproc-
ticabihty, and so informed those officers.
During the nit-ht if. dispatch was received
from General Bradley Johnson, from near
Baltimore, informing me that he had receiv-
ed information lrom a reliable source that
two corps had arrived from General Grant's
army, and that his whole army was probably
in motion. This caused me to delay the at-
tack until 1 could examine the works again,
and {is soon as it. was light enough to see I
rode to the hunt and found the parapels
lined with troops. I had therefore, reluc-
tantly, l.) give up all hopes of capturing
Washington, alterl had arrived in sight of,
the dome of the Capitol, and given the au-
thorities a terrible fright.
Some of the northern papers stated that
between Saturday and Monday I could have
entered the city; but Saturday I was fight-
ing at Monocacy, thirty-five miles from
Washington, a force which I could not leave
in my rear, and alter disposing of that‘force
and moving as rapidly as it was possible for
me to move, I did not arrive in front of the
fortifications until afternoon on Monday, and
then my troops were exhausted, and it took
time to bring them up into line. I had then
made a march, over the circuitous route by
Charlottesvillc, Lyncliburg and Salem, down
the South Mountain, which, notwithstand-
ing the delays in dealing with Hunter's, Si-
nel’s and Wallace’s forces is, for its length
5nd rapidity, I believe, without a parallel in
ing excursion ol the unopposed freebooter
Sherman tlnougb Georgia not. excepted. My
small force had been thrown up to the veiy
walls of the Federal cipilal, north of a river
which could not be t'orded iii. any point with-
in f'orty miles, and with a heavy force and
the. South Mountain in my rear, the passes
through which could be held by a small
number of troops.

Death of a Mother.
“Mother ls dead !" What a message for
the absent boy ! Mather dead ! What Words
of woe! How they burn in the heart! How
the mind flies backward to infancy, when
God and love mingled with the music of the
cradle; when, in childlike simplicity, we
bowed at a mother’s knee and Iispcll the
infant's prayer; how it, dwells in fond recol-
lection on the long days and nights of a
mother’s anxious love, transcending all
loves, and a mother’s. tendcrcst care; how it
flashes forward to her heavenly home be-
yond the river of death, When: now shi-
dWclls a saint in glory! .
The setting sun noiselessly Sinking below
the horizon bullies the hill-topsin smiles,
and Ilings its golden bars .along the western
skies. so the Christian mother, peacefully
passing away, smiled upon those around
her, and by her purity of life, love for man-
kiud, and devotion to God, leaves behind
her a bright, example of pure and lovely
Christian character. Poor, yet rich; the
possrsmr of a priceless crown, yet robcil in
no purple; possessing no talent for the low
things of earth, yet full of that dignity and
moral power of a higher and snbliiner life.
The great die, and nations mourn their
loss. But, if 1 mistake not, the glory of our
history is the unwritten records of the thou-
sands iii humble life who, iinhecded by the
great world, pass triumphantly from earth to
the full glory of heaven. The Christian
mothers thus “ falling asleep in Jesus," are
the embodiments of all that is noble in'ac-
tion, pure in virtue, and lovely in religion.
The cdld world, though it is insensible to
their worth, reaps the fruit of their vulue.
'I‘licir holy influence lives after them, and
shall continue to live, even as the light of a
lost star would continue to shine upon the
earth thousands of years after that star had
been extinguished.
Yes, the Christian mother’s influence, a
talismunie power more potent. than the. au-
tlioniy of the great, or the wisdom of the
wise, shall .
Live through all life-extend through all extent,
Spread undivided—operate unspent."

Switch Alarm.”
A correspondent. sends us the following in
regard to this new invention, to which we‘
have before alluded:
“This invention consists in having an
Eleclro Magnetic Alarm or Sign] applied
to the switch in such a manner, that when
the switch is not in a line with the min
track a continuous alarm will be sounded in
the station-house, or a signal can be Shown
at any distance from the switch; and hence,
if is switch tender, after adjusting the switch
in line with the branch thick, to accommo-
date a train, should fail, utter thepming of
such ”ill“, to adjust the switch tonne with
the main track, the continuum ultflm- would
arrest the attention of the stationiiuasfer or
other employees. who Would have the switch
properly adjusted at once; or the ,a‘ not
shown w >uld give the cngincernfnple I e
