Forty years in Brazil . come 0 Paiz (The Country), the leadingpaper of the Republican Propaganda, I think, inthe days of the Empire; the Gazeta de Noticiasand the Correio da ManhU (Morning Post), andseveral others. The Correio da Manha is a very 262 FORTY YEARS IN BRAZIL independent paper, and its editor, Sr. EdmundoBittencourt, is a very outspoken man, in consequenceof which he has already been challenged to fighttwo duels. As I have already had occasion tostate,^ duels were never heard of in the time of theEmpire. The Repubhc decreed them illegal : nowchallenges are sent out and accepted. There are likewise several magazines of thehumorous type published in Rio de Janeiro, namely,the Careta (Grimace), the Malho (Sledge-hammer),and Fon-Fon—an imitation, I need hardly explain,of the hooting of a motor-horn. It gives me pleasure to be able to state that thewit displayed by these papers is generally of theclean, wholesome kind that one need not mind seeingon ones drawing-room table. 1 Chapter XII, page The Famous Iron-Ore Peak of Itabir A DO Campo, State of .Mixas Geraes From Brazil in 1912.
