The United States stoamor Ossipoe was at
tho west entrance Of Magellan Straits April
10th. The natives went to tho eidc of the
vessel in their canoes, and wero clamorous
for tabacco and fire-watcr. They arc bo-
coming worry bold and moro numerous since
the Straits arc now more frequcntcd, ana

In connection with the lato Emperor of
Mexico The Boston Trarcier reminds us Of
tho interesting historical fact that Maximil-
ian is the most respectable member Of one of
the most ancient of tho rcigning houses Of
the old world, n house that was at the head
Of the Holy Roman Empire long before
Mexico had been heard Of among Christianp,
and which ruled over Mexico for nln ost two
centuries, from the time that Cortcz con-
qucrcl it for Charles ]. ". Of Gcrmany,) in
1921, TO tho lcath Of Charles III. in 100.
We mny add that We believe this circum-
stance gave Maximilian himself tho idea
that it would help to make him acceptable
