Interesting Lecture on South american Ma.


tons.
Mr.. Hopkins, Z. S Consul to Paraguay, be-
ing temporarily in New York, gave few eve
nings since a very interesting lecture on the
countries bordering Oh the Rivers Plate, Pa
raguay and Parana. He gave a minute de-
scrption Of the rivers Parana and Paraguay.
He speaks of some most extraordinary rapids
in the Porana where it bursts through the
mountains of Brazil. These, he says it is be-
tieved have never been seen by a white man.
They were described by hearsay in 1903, by
Felix d Azara. Immediately ubove these rap
ids the river is 1860 feet wide, but this enor-
nous width is suddenly reduced to single
channel of $50 feel wide, down which the
whole mass of water is precipitated with tre-
mendous fury. The water falls on an inclined
plain of so degrees, forming an immediate des-
cent of about SO feet, and the noise is heard for
Is miles. Senior d'Azaru is of the opinion
that next to niagara, this is the most renarka-
BILE cataract in the world, from its extension,
and the amount ofits waters.
The most notable tributary of the Parana is
the river Paraguay-which MIR. Hopkins
thinks is the most perfect for purposes of nav
igation Of any in the world. Its primitive
fountains are so abundant that it is navigable
short distance from its source. Its bed is
spotted with gold anu brilliants, and it is des-
tined to be the channel Of the immense riches
of South America.
Mr.. Hopkins states that change is about
to take place in the political affairs of the chief
nations of South America. Bolivia, Brazil,
Paraguay. Corrientes, Eureros, and the Ban
da Oriental are leagued against Rosas, the ty-
rant ofBuenos Ayres, who has been the great
disturber Of the peace of those nations and the
great obstacle to their improvement in CON-
| merce and the arts. The combination against
Rosls has been completely successful SO far,
| and MIR. Hopkins thinks he must be utterly
conquered. A new state of things will eusue.
and he urges upon the commercial people OF
the United States to form at once enterprises
for obtaining the privileges ofnavigating the
noble rivers which he had Observation-Disclosures
ing the richest rewards will be reaped by all
| who undertake it. The Paraguay river has
been often spoken of by American and En-
glish travellers, who have spoken oft in terms
Of rapture. They have spoken in a similar
strain of the country of Paraguay. which was
| for so many years excluded from the world by
the rigorous despotism of the renowned DR..
Francia.

LOCAL MATTERS.
.ERlT'AS.

THE Observation-Disclosures was accompanied
yesterday by considerable peril the rain that fell
on Sunday evening, in connection with the slushy
snow already on the pavement, froze fast that the
streets were covered yesterday morning with thin
ice-mantle of silvery hue and CLASSY smoothness.
As natural consequence falls were all the fashion,
and in several instances the sudden and uncomforta-
BILE transition from walking to horizontal position
on the pavement was attended with grievous bumps
and wide expanding rents In enc hard case that
came under observation, the peculiar position OF
the rent rendered the situation of the owner OF the
splitted trousers decidedly more cool and ludi'
crous than comfortable or impressive. The IfisE.
mans side-walk-the middle of the street-was of
an equally slippery character. Mules and horses
were to be falling continually on the different
thoroughfares and we heard that the injuries
ing to two horses, belonging to Mr.. VIM Davis, and
one owned by the Petersburg Railroad Company,
were SO great that they had to be killed and put out
of their misery. The severity and unbroken con-
tnuity of the cold weather this is without
parallel in the history of the past seasons. The keen
cold wind added much to the discomfort OF out.

GREAT BANK ROBBERY.
he Braach ef he tSr6inia Baak at Porss-
psoaA robbed Of 487, 900!

mouth robbed Of 81, 600!
4 Yesterday morning At an early houra tcle-
graphic dispatch was received by the mother
Bank here, stating that the banking house Of
the Branch Bank Of Virginia, in Portsmouth,
had been entered Sunday night, and entirely
"a riddled " of all It's contents Ia money. This
message created great anxiety to learn the
particulars.
At late hour in the day second dispatch
came to hand. which stated that the robber or
robber. had taken $59. SIS in bank notes, and
s27. 900 in gold, from the vaults of the Bank.
1t was presumed that the robbery was com
n,itted Sunday night. No clue to the robbers
had been found up to the time of this last dis
patch.
We understand there are only eleren one
hundred dollar notes of the branch 10 circula
ton. Among those stolen were lS9 notes Of
this denomination.
This is very heavy blow to the Bank of
Virginia. That institution has seen enough
misfortune in all conscience. 1t has not only
been extremely unfortunate in the infdelity of
men who held important stations Of trust in
it, but the State has helped to Cypress it by
compelling il to subscribe to the james River
and Kanawaa Canal a half million of dol
Iars,-an oct which was next akin to direct
robbery of the institution.
We would warn the stockholders, however,
not to be too much alarmed by this last heavy
blow upon their Bank. If all the money abb
stracted should be entirely lost, and no part
of it ever recovered, the stock, we are informed,
cannot suffer more than 81 per share. The
reduced par value of that sock is $40, and it
now sells Tor SIS.
1t is to be hoped the robbers will be caught
1t will be hard matter for them to successfully
get clear with SO large a sum to dispose of.
FIRE.-We were informed yesterday that
there was large FIRE in Petersburg Sunday
night, destroying, among other buildings, the
establishment of the Petersburg Intelligent
GER" We understand, that owing to the fall
ing of q wall upon q portion of the telegraph
wires, communication by that line for short
time was suspended, and if this was the case
taking into consideration the distance, several
houses, from the Inteliigencer office TO the tel
egraph line-the fire, to have occasioned the
injury to the wires, must have been q very
lurge one.
P. S.-The Intelligencer, through the kind
ness of the Southside Democrat, has issued a
paper since the fire. 1t states that the fire
broke out in building owned by MIR. Jas. b.
Reed, and occupied by MIR. Newman as fami-
ly grocery.
This building, and the office of the Intell.
gencer adjoining, were destroyed-neariy all
the materials of the office being saved, and an
insurance OIL building and materials.

belonging to Mr.. Sims, which desk located in

stated that he had left the money in his drawer Fri
day evening" and upon going to it Saturday morning
found that it had been broken open, and the money
taken out. The negro exhibited great confusion
when taxed with the commission of the theft and
although no money was found in his possession yet
his statement concerning his action Friday night,
ve.y contradictory, and fully warranted the sus-
pcion that he had taken the money. In order to af
