The River Amazon.

The mouth Of the Amazon was dis
coy cred by Spaniard in 1900, but he
considered it merely a deep gulf
and had not the remotest suspicion Of
the mass of fresh water that was roll
ing to the sea from every part OF
northern South America, or that the
snowy masses of the Cordilleras and
the gushing fountains of the water
shed Of the continent were finding
their way to the Atlantic through this
waste of waters. Forty years elapsed
before it was known what vast ter
ritory is drained by this stream, and
then it was discovered not from the
mouth, but from the mountains of
Peru. 0rellana, one of Pizarro's gem
erals, at that time Governor of Quito,
crossed the Andes in search of Ell
Dorado. Spanish soldiers and Indian
porters were soon starving in the
wilderness, and Pizarro commanded
0rellana with nifty men and light
canoes to descend the newly-found
stream in search of provisions; but he
found only the primeVal wilderness on
its banks, while its waters soon ac-
quired such extent that he deter
mined not to return, but to let himself
DC carried on by the current which
he reasoned must somewhere lead him
to the sea, and perhaps to the so ar
IDENTIFY. desired FL Dorado.
Thus he came into the Tabatinga,
and finally INTO the Amazon itself.
His journey lasted eight months, was
tull OF adventures with the Indians
and gave the hfst Information TO
Europe OF this immense water chan
mel.
In tine language OF the Para Indians,
who at that time lived in the delta OF
the Amazon 'hls name slgnlhes de-
stroyer OF boats, an apPellation which
It richly deserves, for the ebb and
flow OF the tide are teit IN YloieAce
many mics inland' and the water rises
at times hftyfeet above the ordinary
level and mandates all the adjoining
region which becomes q vast sea.
The news OF this wonderful dlscoV-
cry gave new impetus to explorers,
and expeditions large and small fol-
lowed eaen other IN the hopes OF md
ing treasure; The greatest OF these
was that OF lerelra' who with 40 boats
and 9UO men, assembled the stream IN
1887 q distance OF $500 miles, as far
as Quito The best description of the
wonders oil land and water in the
Amazon territory is that OF 'Spix and
Martins Jsumey." The Iabors OF
Bates, L,ais, and AgasslT have made
important ADDITIONS to these, and to-
gether they form the common fund OF
knowledge IN regard to this wonderful
valley;
A glance az the map will show us
the value OF nee navigation to all IA
tons throughout this territory; for it

Amazon INA. Is open' put also It's nu-

tFrom the New Orleans Advocate
Tight Lacing Why Injuriou:

1t is strange that there should be a
necessity for writing on this subject
habit alike ruinous to health and
ruinOus to beauty. But there are
many ladies who, either from want
of opportunity or want of inclina-
tion to pursue physiological works,
knew about as little of their physical
system and the laws of life and health
as the dog who bays the neon knows
about the science of astronomy.
Though they may have often heard
that tight lacing was injurious, yet
not being told the reason why it was
so, they have not placed much reliance
on the information, and still persist in
their course of dressing to kill"
Never having seen an article pub
lished setting forth plainly the reason
achy tight laeing is injurious, We will
now endeavor to show why it is so.
First, as to its being ruinous to
health. In creating mankind the
Creator placed the vital organs-the
lungs, heart liver, etc.-in the upper
part or upper cavity Of the body, and
the stomach, bowels. etc. in the low
er part or lower cavity. And these
cavities we're made just large enough
for all the organs tremendously to
discharge their various functions.
But he made no spare room.
1t is plainly seen, therefore, that
pressure from without tends to crush
the organs one upon the ether, thus
retarding their action and prevent
ing them from properly discharging
their various functions. Something
like pressing together the works Of
a watch; though it may not stop
entirely from running, yet it will
tend to make it run slow and irreg-
ular.
This pressure Of the vital organs
upon each other rapidly brings on
arrangement. The liver fails to do
its Office work well, bringing on
evils too well known. The hearts
action is disturbed and the circuia-
tion impeded. The stomach failing,
as It must, brings on indigestion and
dyspepsia with whole train Of evils.
The lungs, from lack of pure air,
which, Of course, they can not re-
ceive unless allowed free room to ex-
pand, soon become diseased. But MOI
only are the lungs diseased thereby
but the blood, the lifs current, be-
comes corrupt. But this may seem
strange to some, that Comprising the
lungs, 50 as to lessen their capacity
for inhalation, should disease lie
blood. Nevertheless, it is so. he
food of to-day is part d
the blood of tomorrow. And
TO change food to healthy blood
and It il for assimilation. requires
something more than the changes
which il anasrgoeH IL the process Of
digestion. 81 absorption If passes

According to the Minneapolis (Nlinn.) Tri-
bune, Mrs. George Holt and Mrs. j. W. Brig
ham, of that city, with brother residing at
Chcopee, Mass, are sole heirs to an estate OF
$50 900, left by a brother, who died in Detroit,
Mich, twenty-six years since, and which has
been fraudulently withheld from the heirs al!
that time. 1t appears that Jonas c. Brigham,
son of Dr. Luther Brigham, of Chicopee,
Mass, went to Detroit in 1888 and engaged in
business. Four years later an accident oc-
CURED by which he was instantly killed. At
this time he was betrothed to daughter OF
Colonel Brooks, a wealthy gentleman, who
wrote to Brigham's father, giving an account
of his death, and offering to settle the de-
ceaseds estate, which he represented to be
trifing. He was accordingly made admins
traitor, and, after little time had passed,
wrote to Mr.. Brigham that his son left nothing
but gold watch and clothing, which the adj
ministrator thought should be given him for
his trouble. This was accepted as true state
ment, and tue matter slept quietly until about
three months since, when trifing circum-
stance led the relatives to think that there had
been uufairness in the settlement. An inves'
tigation developed tho fact that Mr. Brigham
had died possessed Of s15O,O0o worth of real
estate, the income FROM which had been en-
joyed by the administrator and the Judge Of
Probate for twenty-six years. A general over
hauling has taken place, and the property will
be delivered up t. it's rightful owners.

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL %, 1866
Charleston and the Interior.

Several weeks ago, animated by de-
sire to accommodate the mercantile CON-
munity Of the State, the South Carolina
Railroad Company issued tickets, covering
q thousand miles of travel, at the low price
of S25 each. The plan has proved to be
an admirable one in it's conception and re-
suits Hundreds of merchants and others,
whose business calls them to and from the
city along the line of the South Carolina
Railroad, have availed themselves of the
privilege afforded by these tickets, and the
city has been the gamer by these visits.
The character and advantages of this
system, however, are not yet as generally
known as they should be; and we invite
our exchanges throughout the State to as
sist in giving the widest publicity to a
matter which so directly interests every
business man in South Carolina.
