Iguarassu is located upon an elevation, at the foot of which flows a small river of the same name, crossed by an ancient but very good stone bridge. It is a league and a half from the sea coast, and six leagues from Pernambuco. It is at present a villa, has a primary school, a convent of Antoninos, recolhimento, misericordia, prison, town-house, mother church, and four hermidas, or filial churches. It has the air of antiquity, and is on the decline, having but little business. I observed one temple with its roof fallen in. The only communication I had with any one in the place, occurred as I ascended the hill and entered the principal square of the town.

He saluted me, as I passed by, in a gruff, uncouth tone, " Ho! patricio da ca esmolas para os santos!"--" Hallo, countryman, hand over your alms for the saints!" I thanked the lazy fellow for his politeness, and pursued my way. Soon after passing Iguarassu, I overtook a troop of a dozen horsemen; several blacks were riding forward, and their masters in the rear. In front of all was a drove of cattle, which I supposed to belong to the party, but which it appeared did not, being soon left behind. 208 CONVERSATION ON THE ROAD.

I could but smile at the good grace with which all this officiousness was enacted, and on the whole thought it preferable to the sullen, freezing indifference, sometimes met with. It gave me, moreover, an opportunity to speak in turn, and to introduce such conversation as I chose. I found that the oldest child went to school, and that the others would soon go. They accordingly became the nominal recipients of some folhelos, which I heard their father reading aloud till late at night--having become, as he informed me in the morning, very much interested in them. Before proceeding farther with the events of the evening, I must mention that in the course of the day we had come up with three horses belonging to Pacifico, which he said he had sent forward the day before, on their way to the Recife for cargo. They were accompanied by a matuto, called Joaozinho, A term derived from homem do matto, signifying a backwoodsman.

I looked in vain among the animals thus overtaken to find a better than that I rode; however, the parties became united, and when I came to "turn in" to my hammock, I found that all three were to be companions of my bed-chamber, stretched out upon benches within reach of me. My first impression was to remonstrate, but a kinder and probably wiser sentiment prevailed, in compliance with which I did not so much as question their right to any privileges they might get in connection with mine. I had been led to anticipate much...

Up to the year 1839, there had never existed any means of regular and rapid communication between the capital and the extreme portions of the empire, particularly the far north. Few commercial houses in Rio de Janeiro had correspondents in any of the ports north of Pernambuco; and not unfrequently political intelligence from Maranham and Pard, was received at the capital by way of England and the United States, earlier than by direct dispatches. Such, moreover, were the difficulties interposed by the regular trade winds, and by the strong currents that set to leeward of Cape St. Roque that they could be overcome by no enterprise short of steam navigation.
