'T he Country anul the I'sopie--Inttereostiug I Fa tts Catlhredl on at .J ourney. a -~ al (Letter to the E "elcd Clt;oniclo.) ti STI'EAnt SAN !AAUTIN, ON T.'IE P;AIANA ii livERI, September 3, 1887.--1.ive days in ago, just as your summor began to wane, and our spring to sot in, we quitted w Montevideo in the beautiful steamer o "farfaletta," and sped 6) miles across the great bay which forms the mouth of a the Rio do la Plata, to Buenos Ayres, P the immenso snd'magniflcont capital of t the Argentine Republic, of which inter- c esting city I will give you some account bi in a future letter. Here, after a night r and day, we tako a larger steamer, the A "San Martin," bound for Assuncion, the capital of Paraguay, 1,000 up the river, u in the extreme heart of South America. t First, as this mammoth river nears the B sea, it is called the Rio do la Plata; a ri hundred miles farther up, it becomes f p the Parana; and finrlly it divides into two great streams, one keeping the unie p Parana, the other taking that of Para- ) guay. As we steam, ratlier slowly, up bt into the laud of the monkey and boa 0 constrictor, I seat myself on the deck of a1 the ''San Martin" to write you a letter. bt The first three days of our journey up ci the t.'arana 'ro rather monotonous. The A waters continue turbid and muddy, and of the shores mostly barren and woodless, il given up to huge herds of cattle which nt graze on the natural growth, and with cC but few signs of cultivation. We pass l several flourishing towns, the most cu notable being Rosario, recently and ' rapidly developed inlto a city of (0,(i00 lI inhabitants, many of them Jnglish, who c< have introduced modern comforts and L the luxuries of civilization, gas, tele- -ai graph, telephones, tramways, &c., and e( founded a Protestant church. it is also L the focus of the most extensije railroad ic system south of the isthmus of Panama, .w and the commercial centre of the stir- 5a rounding country. There is a large to foundry at Rosario, belonging to at o! American, besides two others, and facto- th ries, saw mills, broweries, hospitatl, 'T] librarios and schools of note. The schools U are under the direction of an arnerican t lady, who is appoiLlted Superintendent 13 of publio instruction, was brought out v( by the Argentine Government, and re- m ceives a salary of $3,000 a i ear, a house in and perquisites. c The next city of importance is Parana, (.t once the capital of the Argentine Ropub- v lie. Its 01(1 government buildings, now SC coffee housos, stand out on the elevated c< ridge in showy array. On the opposite bank, 7 miles distant, can be seen Santa P Fe (holy faith) one of -the oltest towns b on the River Plata, once a Jesuit centre. o Further up the river, Bella Vita shined of out, worthy of its name, where white ai houses and orange trees crown the high t! cliffi, which overlook the mighty river, t) whose grandeur and beauty now begin i to strike the most casual observer. The cl glossy leaved orango groves increase, to varied by a lighter foliage of water oak ul and willow, with a few picturesque palms f hero and thero. The water seems to cx- in pand into a succession of limpid lakes, cl whose shores and islands mingle, with a continual change of scenery, as we glide along our tranquil course, now and then . meating various craft and sails. 'ThIe fifth morning of our voyage finds us bofore the quaint old Spanish town of Corrientes, settled in 15 by the 2 planting of the hloly Cross of the Jesuits. It presents a charming pictture as we ap p)roachi, the steelesC and1 towers of ti four churches and the columns of publiC buildings glistening un]der the dazzling * rays of a Scouth American sun. Coar rienctes was formerly a ,Jesuit stronighiold, and relies of thiat fearless and intdefatiga bl1e sect are still pointed out. The mans- n sivo doors of the "Madriz" were carved by' the friars out of hard Paragcuayan sI woodl, nearly three hundred years ago, and are, even niow,, as solid and hard acs iron. TIhtere ate also an ergan) and altar w ornaiments made b)y the same friars. This city is 852 miles from Iluenos si Ayres, and( receives its larmot fromt the " many currents uniting here. E~veni at " this great distance front its muouthi, this imnh(Iso river is said to b)e three mniles Ic wide. To'c the right, we ntow leave the P'anmca, a whcich extends to the shores of B razil, I wvhile we puirsue the I 'araguay, a noble tI and beautiful stream. I lero we biegint to note a decided change in scenery wro ughit i by our OU00 miles voyage from sotuth to LI north, and a nearer a4pproachl to the " trop)ics. On the eastern shore we behldlc I the dense cool forests of Paraguay, with its woods of brushy, ouctsprcaclig branches, variegated with sparig foIlage of lighter lhue, and pink blooming tiees e (La Jiracho) and the yellow Quabraecho 3 wvhose hardi wood never rcts. Thecre arte e guavas and bamboos00, aund exqutisito pami pas grasses covered with thousands of feathery blooms, antI pidmrs and paisncet- 1 tos and p)lantainst. The1~ western shore, whichi presents a striking contrast, is b ordeted b)y low1 -bushes and abunanot grases, for h ere stretches back for hundreds of miles from the water's edge, t.o the great A acdes t. cordillera, the "G(randl Chatco," thce great untexploredI region of South A meirien, whose mysteries, from the days of Scdis, have ballied the most adventurous trav elers, and from whose "udiisltcove,red bourno" bitt few haive returned1. For the most part, the "G( rand CJhaco" icc dense is>rest, but, in the vicinity of greati rivers, is low anid swampy. Though nomimally belonging, chiecfly. to the Argentine Repub)lic)i, it in still in pos.scs sion of the native fierce tribes of [a- s 's, as weoll as other native animals of ~sees. However, I look ini vaitti e 3ild bcasts and b)irds, monkeys and1( eonstrictorsl I discover nothing strange orformidale than slimy diocodiles, which slip into their watery Sbeds as we puff and steam along, and1( an occasional wild hog (earpenf chore). cranes posing on one leg against the waving green, with intent lookout for fishy feed, and many flocks of wild duoks and other game, startled by our approach. Tosnsof sleek cattle grazo upon th bnatpaciturage; and I io scono is altogether one of peace and 31)080, quito at variance with my pro ncoived ideas. I long for tho monkeys id anacondas and jaguars, but they ill not come. To return to tho eastern or Paraguay n, here I notice that apart from the tagniflcent display of orange groves, id occasional patches of corn, tobacco k id sugar cane, there is little or no onl- c vation, though we pass many flourish- e tg settlements. Foremost among the d tter is the thriving town of Pillar, at f resent the entrance harbor of the bravo f' ttle Republic of Paraguay, and which as, in days not tar back, the only point s f contact with the outer world per ittedl by the jealous policy of President n rancia. Its clean, bright aspect gives C foretaste of the neatness peculiar to e araguayan villages and houses. On n to bank we observe a machine for cut- U rg and sawing the hard timber of the 1 )ntry, and lying by are two vessels, p ilt of an(l laden with the same timber, c ady for exportation. Thero are two a morican families living at Pillar, on- c iged in the cultivation of pineauples. For 150 miles more we continue our e pstream way, with over-increasing in- t rest, wooded hills and grassy plains, n ith sad ruins and relics of the late 1 razilian wra, passing in exciting pano- tl nma before us, until wo reach Villeta, a nious for its orange groves, whose 1 coducts suilice for the markets of both - iUenos Ayres and Montevideo. It is a V easatit sight to see the fruit brought on I ard by long files of lively, white clad, a irefooted women, singing as they trip ? er the long gang planks leading 1 hero, many of them bearing immenso a .irdens, and smoking large, rough made n gars. Above Villeta, we pass San it utonio, beautifully located amongst t aunges, guavas and palms, about seven v iles hltow Assuncion. San Antonio is ' )ted as the settlement of An American A d>ony, a company formed in Rhodo k hind years ago, for introducing agri- b tltural and mechanical iinplements into iraguay, under the auspices of Mr. opkins, U. S. Consul in 1851. The o mpany was encouraged by President opez, and they wero about to realizq ti t immense fortune for themselves, and c: infer a boon upon Paraguay, when n olez becamO jealous, and determined 1 com)el them to leave the country, ti biich he finally did, to their great dam- a ;o and sullering. They were obliged o claim the protection of Captain Page, c the U. S. steamer, "\Vater Witch," o en cruising in Paraguayan waters. n he ousted company requested the o . S. Government to demand damages r expulsion and losses. President f, uchanan sent out a minister and 21 t ssels of war to Assuncion, at a cost of , illions, which, strange to say, ended r Sito redress. The prosecution of this e aim is still in progress, the present . . S. Minister having recently made two i sits to Assuncion for the purpose of ttling it, with good prospects of sue sS, and without further cost. As we lose sigh, of San Antonio, the I ieturestlue, well-wooded hill of Lam- t ri, on the water's edge, juts up ahead us; its isolated positioL, in the midst a level country, gives it the appear ice of a veritablo mountain in the dis- 1 ace. As we turn the sudden bend of t to river around the L iamibari, we emerge to a bay-like sheet of water, placid, i cur and glassy on the surface, and said - be of considerable depth, and beforo i lies the capital of Paraguay, ''the I irJlen of South America," wiither I vite you to follow mo in my next C rupter of wanderings. i. c..ll. 1IAI(1NO 1I Sill ICT4 FOR 7 CI:N''S.

(From the Wash Ington Sundlay (azetto.) It is an open socret among shrowd )omooratic politieians, among those who now what is going on in the innermost irole, that 1)avinl Bonnet, Hill, Gov ruor of the State of New York, is a can idato for the Democratic nomination >r the Presidency. That is an assured ict. Govornor lill in many respects is a trong man. 1ie has made a good record s Governor, and during his two terms ot a single blemish, either personally r officially has been fastened on his haracter. He will leave the executive lansion at Albany with clean hands and ablemished rel)utation. The (iovorn('r as had the dispensing of a good deal of atronage during his two terms, and, of ourso, ho has not appointed to ollico ny one not friendly to him and his asuie. These things make him strong. Again, let it be remembe.etd that (tov rnor )avid B lill is known all over Lio country. When Cleveland was ominated for President he sprang into - rominence. lie had been associate(d with Liat wonderful man in administering the flairs of the State, and Governor Cleve md's election made him Governor. 'hen ho was elected by the people, 'hich again brought him prominently of ore the public eye and was taken a'; lowing that the pooplo wore satisfied 'ith the way he had governed. As New 'ork had given one Governor to become I.'resident it was not a great stretch of nagination to picture the Inpire State gain sacrificing her chief magistrate so nat the Nation might have a ruler, pro ided the present incumbent of the Vhite House did not seek a re-election. .11 hcse circumstances combined to eel) Governor Hill's name protinently efore the public. (IOVInINOR TTTnL AND 1ROTEc'I,N. Governor lull's position is .a peculiar no. It is well known that many of the rotection )emocrats---and, although to straightout Democratic orga s de tare there are none such, they exist is o small numl,ers---do not like the 'resident because of his tariff views and iat they listened to his message with nazement and anger. Governor llill, 1 n the other hand, is a protection I )emo rat and he is the candidate of that wing f the D)emocratic party that believes in taintaining the present tarill' as a part f our present political system. Then, again, the impression has gone rth that the Governor is a spoils poli ician; that if he had his own way he ould disregard the spirit of civil service eform and appointments would be made imply on the ground of political fitine s ,nd the services to be rewan(ed. And a addition to this, those people who rant a change, not on high moral ;round, but because of some small or ancied neglect or slight, have flocked to ;is standard because he appears to be he strongest candidate. CAN HE SUC(EED? Can he succeed? Can he get the omination? Those are the questions o be answered, and from my persoual nowledge of the wty sentiment is run ing I unhesitatingly say he cannot. - 1 do not believe there is a man in the )emocratio party who can get the nomi ation away from Grover Cleveland. Jnloss lie does something most unheard f, or unless one of thoso absolutely uin. xpected events which sometimes trim pire happens, the President, in my pinion, is as sure of a renomiiation as o can be suro of anything. The lill boom i-, in the hands of very brewd men, who are playing a very areful game. In the first place it will ot do for them to any way cause dis nion in the D)emocriatie paurty in the tate of New York, as such a course iould certainily mean D)emocratic defeat. hoi llill menc cannot all'ord to (10 that ud rather than take any chances they 'ould do0 whatever they could to elett 31eveland. But if Cloveland could net ecure the ntecessary votes itn the con etio(n the Ilill men would comoti to the rent and ask the Clevelantd supporters u cast their stirengt,h for their cantdidate. Tll1Ev AilE 5TiIj JFniEN Ls. Friom what I have written above the mp)ressioni may be gathered that (Gov rnor I lill is not friendly to the P'resi ent, and that the former is setIting til ens to undermine ins strenigtht. My in orniation on the subject (lees not lead Lie to believe that that inmpressioni is errect. The situtation of ttair s 1. am ld is about this: Governor IIill would ike t) be the D emocratic candidato for he Presidency, as whlat American citizen vould not? I lowever, lhe realizes thamt .t the present time the P residentt is the trongest man in his party and that lhe tis thie ''call'' on the niotination. Int lie convention it will take a two-thirds 'ote to noeminate. Can Cleveland get hat vote oun the first ballot? Th'le 1l idi non say that lie cantnot, t hat the dele ~ates who are oppo)(sed to him aund those who go thtere to cast a cotmplimuentary 'ole for their local favorites will fo, io a miflicient tntmber to pireent th at. I i lie anniot get the nomtinationi on the first or econdt ballot he stands no futher iahance, as the oppIositioni to himut will auntinuie to grow. It will be flhe field gigainst (Groiver (Clevelando , and when thle I 'resident's managers see that hte cannitot boe no)minated1 they will look round to ~co who is the next stronigest nium. liill's [riends will he there in force iad then juestioni to be decided b y the ClMevelaind men is shall I fill or an, outsider be nomio nated? For umauny reasons they will prefer Ilill, the word will. go downu the UlIelandi lune to nonminate lIIill, iandt lIill will lbe the unominjee of the convent It will ho scoun then that the (Go"unor mait thei( President are niot plott ing igainst each othter. Eachi will give loyal nipport to the other accoui ding to the way in which circumstances shape5 thm solves. Upj to at certain limit (Gov. Itill will tuipport the President, lbut whe-n it biecomen cortaini thatt the Clevelandiu suit has set the lIill constellation will ascendl into sight. Governor I11ill will never have such another chiance as this. Hie is now prominenttly b)elore the people, and hs alIl the~ prestige which two terms as Governor has given him. Stuppose lie should run Eigain and again b)0 elected, lie could add v'ery little to) his reputation, while there is always the danger of his doing some thing which may without a mommnt' warning utterly ruin his future political career. Then the longer lio remains in otlico tho more (anger ie runs of making enemies among lhis political adherents; he cannot distributo all the political patronage that they think themselves entitled to, and the consequences will be disaffecti )n inmg the very men whose friendship is most desirale. On the other hand, should ho run again and 1be defeated the result would be simply dis nstrous, and if at the end of his term he retires to privato lifo, to fa1st do ien grow in this country that in four years ho may drop entirely out of sight. It would seem, then, with him that it is uither now or never, and th0 ('ov(rnor's friends realize that fact very thoroughly. Wilo WI1 II' 1n'? As it now looks to me, 1 should say :hat Orover Ulevehid is iltl kingl; bee in ;hie I)cmoecratie hive. The I'resident has ,st nonle of his popularity antid he is as trong with the Indepeudcnts of New 1ork and assaheliusetts as Ie ever was. 1'ho Independent vote will he as n eces'a y to elect the I )emocratic nominee iii l888 as it was in I88 1, and for flint rca io, as much as anything el1e, I look to lee ( irover Cleveland the I )emocratic Itanldlrd-bearer next Novei:l,cr.

Cito Great Author FHighly Pleased With Mr. Cleveland's Simplicity. WasIINoTON, January 81.-President ilovelai d to-day received two distin ;uishod guests at the White House-Bill ye and Charles Dickens. They were utroduced to tho President by Major B. Pond. President ' loveland ac orded thorn a private ipterview in the ted Room. At its close he personally icortod his callers all through the Ex cultive Mansion, explaining the different oomns and giving a succinct history of ach. Bill Nye's modesty shone on the >ceasion as conspicuously as his bald wad. 11o was delighted with the re option. In speaking of it afterwards to said: "I was never more agreeably disap >ointed in any one man than I was with ir. Cleveland. lie is truly a fine man. Vlat surprised me above all things was is tihorough simplicity, unaffectedness td frankness. For a man holding his bosition ho is asto.,ishingly ingenuous. t is seldom that I rub my knees against ;reatness, and I have seen so little of hie world and the great things in it that was at a loss to talk to tho President n that free and easy way that I desired md that ho would have appreciated. I oun(i to-day the truth of the remark nade by somc great man in the hazy stst that the man who can say a smart himg to-day cannot say a smart thing o-morrow. After I hlit the President hero were a great many ismart things hooding my mind, as it wore. If I could ily have thought of them at the proper ilme I know the 'resident and myself woul have had a pleasanter time. But or the muoment I was tongue tied." (thers who were prmsent, however, ull a dill'rent tale. They say that 1Villiam cailitivated the Presi<lent at the mtiet by his quaint witticisms, and that lie interview was prolongcd by Mr. ,ieveland the more to enjoy Bill's origi tl rtllrks. AN iN(IlS1!

I1 abert II erkomer, had a dis Linguished audience this evening at the I;oval Institution in Albermarlo street, ILondon, to hear what he had to say ihiorit. his visit to the United States. Ho, low vever, advanced little that had not lbns said or written heretofore. He laid particular emphasis upon what he called thbe "pronounced individualism of Amer iean a s t conipared with Europeans." He was impresi-ed with their keen, nervous teuuperanent", keen intelligence and their ilbition to excel. "'Ihvre omust bo," he said, "something in ie air to induce thievery pronounced dili'trenc" of character. Indeed, I n'ticed +hat Englishmen residing in New Vorik became quicker and thought more rim pidly and accomplished more than whei. hving in England.'' lie :peciaiy dwelt upon 'the Ameri e:ni skill in physiognomy." Speaking of scitl iittes1, he coimuonted upon the fact that 'a stranger did not seem to be t:"ted, bit was either welcomed every whar im('inmediately or else was not wel iiui at all. \V it Itost impressed I'rof. Iorkomer w1 the surprising l,rogress in architec i re. Comparing the iiw with the com l~ratively oh, he says: "The best types of arcliiteetnre in the Old World are Lecelpted1 and ate really the best found in A uricat.

"li t iii schools of art to-day the best lirodict.ions are lay American students. lay do not c 'me to (i reat Britain, houagi, bait visit i'rance i Italy." I 'rof.
