The Bro INDIAN IN THE CHICAGO CoNvEN-
TIoN.-An ''electrifying effect" was produced
in the Chicago Convention, we are told, when
General Sickles entered on his crutches, head
ing the New York delegation. The Crosby
Opera House was crowded and the delegations
were waiting in breathless silence and anticipa-
ton for some grand denouement and theatrical
effect-as an audience waits for the rising of
the curtain when q star actor Is expected-when
the Big Indian with oil the other chiefs en-
tered The American flag was carried proudly
and waved over the head of the mighty chief
amidst hurrahs that shook the building to its
foundations. We are not informed whether this
was the identical flag which General Sickles,
Gesler-l like, made the people of Charleston bow
down before when he was in command Of that
military district, but, judging from the enthu-
siasm awakened, 1t probably was. Altogether
this was a well prepared and most dramatic
scene. The loyal radicals should have grand
picture of 1t executed by a competent artist and
place IL in the Rotunda Of the Capitol at Wash
ington.

Advices have been received here from Rio ia.
nerio to the effect that the American Minister neat

urges upon the governments Of the allied enemies Of
States to settle amcaby the dispute. He is reported
to have told the Emperor Dom Pedro H. that, unlesg

government will Interfere to prevent further blood

PARIS May 21, 1885,
The exact whereabouts OF President Lopez, Of PARE
aguay, s varousy stated In the dispatches received
here from the seat Of war. Some fix him In Forci
Humaita others at villa Rca and still others at the
mouth Of the Rio Tblcuarf. The Aonfteur Of
yesterday evening" in Its latest news from the
seat of war announces that he holds the mouth and
line Of the Rio Tibcuarf which he is fortifyng and
making very strong line OF defence. He had anA
nounced his intention and readiness to dispute every
inch OF the road to Asuncion. The latest report Of
any renewal OF the attack upon Fort Humaita stated
that the threatened three days. bombardment had
begun, and that the semi-circular line Of attach
drawn by Marques de Caxias was drawn closer tQ
the fortress, and communication with the alhed
feet made easier The heavy rned guns brought up
to Curupaity and PassO Pucu are planted Within
eleven hundred yards Of Fort Humaita.

LAKE CITY, Fla, May 81, 1858.
The following is the very latest direct from Port
Prince via Key West. The date of the despatch is
Port au Prince Hayti, May ls:-
President Salnave having declared himself DIcta-
tor Of the republic, serious revolution commenced
against him. The revolutionists within three miles
OF the city gradually drove In the forces of the
Dictator.
Salnsve threatened that If he were driven out he
would burn the city Of Port au Prince. He appears
to be desperate, but it is doubtful II he will carry
out his threats as the English frigate Phoebe ana
soop.ofwar Royalist are there to protect foreign
interests The American man-0f.war De Soto could
not remain, having had only four days provisions
on board.
Sanave ordered the lighthouse to be destroyed by
bombardment as it was in possession Of the rebeis.

jerome Park.

The next race meeting of the American
Jockey Club at the Jerome Park will begin on
the 9th Of June. More than q hundred of the
finest horses in the country will be there by
the first of the month, and 1t is difficult to find
stabing for those which have already arrived.
Knee deep as the mud is at present, in conse-
quence of the deluging rains Of 'this lovely
month Of May" a few days of sunshine-for
which we may hope even against hope will
put the course in excellent order. In justice
to these very rains it must be said that they
will have given to the verdure and foliage of
this charming and favorite resort, not only Of
turfmen, but Of the elite of our metropolitan
society, additional depth and luxuriance.
The hearty and persistent enco'lr ,cment
which the HERALD has from the begin
ming bestowed upon the successful efforts
to make our Park unrivalled in its at
fractions led to the establishment Of
the Jerome Park as a delightful adjunct
and succursal. The result Is evinced by
the almost magical transformations offered by
these two parks, both of which have enlisted
the interest not only of the fashionable world
but of the great public. The change which has
been wrought by the direct influence Of the
Park and the Jerome Park is marvellous. Not
many years ago a well-appointed team and
an elegant turnout were so rare as to expose the
few who INDUCED in such displays to the charge
of eccentricity at least, If not Of ridiculous
apng Of foreign aristocratic ostentation. Philo-
sophical European travellers, like De Tocque-
vile, were inclined to comment on the tyranny
of public opinion which forced wealth to con-
ceal itself within doors. But now all take an
honest pride In such signs Of the wonderful
| increase of American wealth ss are afforded In

Our South American News.

The letters from our special correspondents
at Rio Janero, at Pernambuco and at Buenos
Ayres, published in the HERALD of yesterday,
gave full and valuable information as to the
situation in Brazil, in Paraguay and in the
Argentine Confederation. Humaita was still
holding bravey out against the allies. The
allies were, however, slowly encroaching upon
the city. The circuit has been reduced from
twenty-five to twelve miles, and cannon have
actually been planted within one-half mile Of
the fortress. The Marquis de Caxias, accord
ing to our correspondent, rode much (some
twenty miles day., but it was generally felt
that he would give greater satisfaction if he
rode less and advanced his cannon more. The
firing from Humaita was reported to be quite
as heavy as that which it was receiving.
A shipload of Irishmen had arrived at Rio
and had been graciously welcomed, the En-
peror himself condescending to honor them
with visit. Throughout the Argentine Con-
federation considerable excitement prevailed
as to the Presidential election, and the in
huence of Brazil was steadily growing in La
Plata.
