ROOSEVELT THE RAUCOUS.

Goes to Brazil and is About to Shake Things Op. Kff R. Roosevelt has returned from his I exploration of Brazil by steam- * launch, and he says he is going to make things warm for- Mr. Henry Savage Landor, who published an account of discoveries in Brazil some time ago. Mr. Landor retorts, and is justified in retorting, that Mr.. Roosevelt -would do well to penetrate Brazil afoot instead of on a steam-launch. He declares that Mr. Roosevelt "copied some of the principal incidents of my voyage. He even had the same sickness and injuries. These things often happen to big explorers who carefully read other travellers' hooks:" Mr. Roosevelt . deserves it all, and some more. The world is becoming rather tired of him. He has an overpowering and unpleasing manner. He is for ever performing for applause like a tumbler in a tenth-rate circus. Mr; Roosevelt's "explorations" -have made him the laughing-stock of the worldl He travels with an army of attendants. When he sits down he has someone standing by to fan the flies off. When he sleeps lie is as safe wild beasts and bad men as if he were in an Englishi cathedral town. But when it is

all over he goes back to his own .country, sticks out his chest, and talks loudly about his "discoveries."
