1t is July, and Of course, mSd-,ctnttr. But
winter here is not cold. There is seldom
any snow in the vicinity Of this city. 1t is
one of the most delightful regions on the
face of the earth; never very warm or very
cold and the soil the most fruitful and pro.
life Of any in South America. Two crops
in year can easily be produced and such
crops as would make Pennsylvania farmers
stare. From sixty to seventy bushels Of
wheat from an acre, am told, is not an un-
common thing. Fruits Of all kinds grow in
abundance; and in size and quality, such as
YOU never saw IN your northern home
Ounces as big as mans head, and exquisite

the Chile Hotel the fashionable hotel Of
the city; aud other fruits Of equally rare
size and flavor are abundant. These facts
will sufficiently indicate the CharaC ter of the
soil and climate of this almost Paradse.-
But it is not Paradise after all as one

city and sees the effects of the terrible visi-
tations, to which the people OF this city,
and in fact this whole country, are every
year liable Earthquakes, three or four

times destroy considerable portions of it
