Probably no foreigner ever visited this country who made closer observations of our institutions than the lllustrioua Emperor of Brazil. Nothing seenis to have escaped his attention, and his coraments were generally favorable. This is not usual with foreigners of prominence, and enconiums from one so high in position aa the eminent ruler referred to has endeared him to our people. Dom Pedro's rapid movements enabled him to visit every place of interest in the United States, and his time was mostly spent upon the railways of our country, of which he never tired oí praising. His trip from the West to visit the Centennial, just before leaving for Europe, was of greatest pleasure to him. Leaving Chicago at 5:15 P. M. the magnificent car which he occupied was run over the Great Fort Wayne S Pennsylvania line to Philadelphia, the Emperor having seiected this road on account of its being the shortest, quickest and most dcsirable route to the Centennial, and because of the grand panoramic and charming scenery which greet the eyes of all who take this favorite railway. The railways of Brazil are still in an ombryotic condition, while other institutions in that country, are far ahead of our own, and the high state oí perf'ection of the Great Fort Wayne & Pennsylvania line surprised the Emperor, to such an extent, that he declared it to be the finest rüway he ever saw, in every respect and without an equal in any land. With so favorable an opinión from so high authority, we take pleasure in recommending to al, our friends and patrous the Great Fort Wayne and Pennsylvania line to the Centennial. Tickets may be puichased at the General Office, 65, Clark Street, Chicago, or at the Depot, and information by mail furnished. By taking thls route, via. Toledo & Mansfteld, travelers from this part of the State can avail themselves of the advantages of this great line which is the only one running direct to the Centennial grounds.
