AMERICANS IN BUENos AYREs-A correspond
ent of the Boston Traveller, writing from Buenos
Ayres, under date of Aug. 3lst, says:
am not aware that the circumstances of the
United States government having no treaty with
this is generally known. A circumstance occurred
here a few days since which shows the relative po
sitOn occupied by British subject and an Amer
can citizen. An unmarried gentleman and : for
egner who had resided in this country many years
died suddenly intestate As little appeared to be
positively known of his birth, both the English and
American consuls claimed to administer to his es
tate, valued at $300,000. He had been enrolled at
the Consulate British subject, and the Ameri.
can as American citizen. The Buenos Ayrean
government notified the Consuls that if he were an
American it would interfere IL the administration
and claims its perquistes and 10 per cent; but if
it were decided that the deceased was an English
man. the government, by an article of the treaty
could not interfere. The American Consul at once
yielded, as his administering to the estate would
cost the heirs $4,000 Ycu thus see the difference
betwe an American and an Englishman in this
State.

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-Shortly before the de.

ed sermon which contained this beautiful illus
tration:
Life bears us on like the stream of mighty
river. Our boat at first giides down the narrow
channel-through the playful murmuring of the
little brook and the winding of its grassy borders
The trees shed their blossoms over young heads,
the flowers on the brink seem to offer them
selves to our young hands; we happy in
hope, and we grasp eagerly at the beauties
around us--but the stream hurries on. and still
our hands are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along wider and deeper flood, amid
objects more striking and magnificent. We are
snimated at the moving picture of enjoyment and
industry passing us; we excited at some short
lived disappointment. The stream bears US on
and our joys and grefs alike left behind US
We may be ship wrecked. VIC cannot be delayed
whether rough smooth, the river hastens to its
home till the of the is in our ears, and
the tossing the waves is beneath our feet and the
land lessons from our eyes, and the floods lifted
up around us, and we take our leave of earth and
its inhabitants until of further voyage there il
