The people nf (ho Junction Junc-tion city were not owr-enthu.'Us'.ic. in the m liter. This fact and the otlifr one that tho weather wast deuced cold on tho b.vuks of tho Weber, kept the Olenites, with a tew i xeeptioiiN, indvKira. Tho majority of those w ut ing alt jut tho depot wore, rimmus (or Slt Lake and Ogdeu hotuls, and llny were leas loud in their im portunities than usual, all seeming to understand that Pedro wasn't tinli for their nets. Tho emperor was in the elegant Pullman car "Metropolitan," "Metropoli-tan," which moving palace ho lias occupied siuco he left Now York. He did not leave the car in O'den, but sat at th window where he could hi .tAr t hv the hova and runners aforesaid. The Utah Central officials i proposed to bring the emperor to thiaj city by special engine, but his majesty ma-jesty declined the profler, aud his car was attached to the regular evening I traiu, which arrived bore at $.'20, Indeed we haveu't heard of any 0 rotter iu this country beyoud that of on! i nary civility he hasn't declined. Thw Americans aro a people who have outgrown titles, yet they are inline in the matter of iloiug homane to them. A plug count from a tenth rate monarchy would receive more honors in America than tho president of the United Slates and all the governors iu the land. Dom Fed ro w a n Is to cheek this toadyism to titles, and on this tour will teach democracy to born democrats. demo-crats. Ouly a few of the Brazilian imperial impe-rial party, now in America, are making this trans continental tour j the empress and others remaining in the east until the return of the emperor. em-peror. The party which arrived last evening are as follows : TI.e emperor, Dom Tedro. Chamberlain, Senhor L. P. Do Cjuto Ferrar, Viscmde do B.nn-Retiro. B.nn-Retiro. He is also c mneilcr of state, senator from Riode Janeiro, ex-seere tary of the interior, vice-president of the Brazilian uatioual exoitmiou, ami president of the Imperial Institute of Agriculture of Rio de Janeiro. The emperor's private secretary, Dr. Louis Henuing. Assistant treasurer of the imperial houieho'd, Dr. Arthur Teixeira do Macedo. Gentleman in waiting to tho emperor, em-peror, Senhor Paiva. The last named is the son of Dom Pedro's father's valet, who was godfather to the present emperor. Besides the above are two servants. With the party is a gentleman who, like thfl emperor, is much of an object of interest. We refer to Mr. J. J. O' Kelly, the New York iLraWj commissioner who had such a hot time in Cuba a few years ago. Tne enterprise of the world's greatest newspaper is seen everywhere. When it was known that Dom Pedro would visit the United Slates, the Herald dispatched Mr. O' Kelly to Brazil to accompany ac-company the imperial party to America. Mr. O'Kelly sailed with the emperor from Rio de Janeiro, and has been with the party, and the companion of the emperor since. The genial conductor of the Pull man car occupied by the party is Mr. E. T. Hazelton. The emperor greatly enjoyed the ride from Ogden to this city. He looked with pleasure at the lake, the grain fields, and lofty mountains along the road, and made numerous inquiries as to the territory and its peopla. He is an intelligent gentleman, gentle-man, social to a high degree, and converses con-verses freely on ordinary everyday topics. He is a tall, fine-looking man, with full white beard, and grey hair. He dresses plainly, wears a slouch hat, and has the appearance of a well - to - do granger. No one would recogniio him as an emperor. At the theatre last evening the audience selected the wrong man as DomPedro.and satisfied their curiosity by gazing at a gcntlo-man gcntlo-man of hiB suite on whom they last-tened last-tened the imperial greatness with their eyes and imaginations. Arriving at the depot in this city there was an immense crowd of 1 tva ,0 tu emperor, leaning on the arm of Via-oonde Via-oonde de Bom Betiro, walked through the multitude to his carriage one of Mulloy's finest turnouts an elegant barouche drawn by a span of greys ( and entering was driven with his ' suite to the theatre, where a proscenium pros-cenium box had been prepared for his reception. The box was gaily festooned with Brazilian flags, and the stars and stripes ; and fragrant frag-rant bouquets were found on the tables inside. There were very few people in the theatre. It was unfortunate un-fortunate that the entertainment was not such as to have attracted a full house, that the emperor might have I had a more cheerful prospect than was presented in the array of empty chairs. His -majesty apparantly enjoyed en-joyed Burnett's comicalities, as the imperial countenance was frequently illuminated with smiles. He remained until the performance was over, and then drove to tho Walker house, where apartments had been secured for the party. The long journey seams not to have greatly fatigued tho emperor. He travels constantly, night and day. The only stop since leaving New York is the one he is now making. He is cheerful and ever ready to converse about the country he is visiting. The broad plains, high mountaiun and wide fields that he has seen in Illinois, Iuwa, Nebraska, Wyoming and Utah, have specially interested him, and like other tourinh who have gnno over tho route, hu expresses .iiupiie t tho grandeur and beauty of tho scenery, amj tho energy and go-a hfiul-ii-livu-nOfts ol Americans itd oxhihitod every whom.
