GAUcHo ETIQUETTE.

GAUCHo ETIQUETTE.
The meal was served in genuine pampr
fashion one iron spoon and two COWS
horn split in halves, were passed around
the group. the members Of which squatteC
npon their launches and freely helped
themselves from the kettle.
Even in this most uncivilized form Of
satisfying hunger, there is a peculiar
etiquette, which the most lowly poem
inevitably observes Each member of the
company in turn dips his spoon or horn
into the center of the stew, and draws il in
direct line towurd him, never allowing it
to deviate to the right or the left.
By observing this rule, each person eats
without interfering with his neighbor.
Being ignorant of this custom, the author
dipped his horn into the mess at random,
and fished about in il for some Of the mise
bits. Ills companions regarded this hor-
rid breach of politeness with scowls of i'm
patience, and declared that the Gringos did
not know how 70 eat, and, "as they lived
upon dogs in their ownzdistant country,
they came to the great Argentine republic
to get food and grow fat upon the guuchos."
CHARACTERISTIC IGNORANCE.
"Where is Bostron ?" asked a native,
meaning Boston.
"Bostron is in France" replied another.
"That cannot be, because France is a
great way off and has not got any moon
and tie Gringo told me, the other night,
that there is moon in Bostrop, and North
America is in the same place.
"Fool p exclaimed the scholar, North
America is in England-the country where
the Gringos live that tried to take Buenos
Ayres"
Each was confident that he was right.
SUPERSTITION AND RELIGION.
At a certain season of the year, in Men
doza, mock Christ was crucifed by the
priests. The deluded people believing it
to be the true Savior, wept as they beat
their breasts and cried out with compass
sion. At these and other services of the
church, as the mass and vesper prayer, the
men formed a very small portion OF the

slant attendants, and we're constantly at

a rule 10 go to confession three times a
week, until The priest tired of it, and told
would pardon the whole at once.
THE GoITRE.
There was but one form Of disease in
Mendoza said to be incurable BY the ply

among the people as the cote. The disease
appeared in the form of large swelling on

THE MANNER OF COOKING

After the animal has been killed, the
meat ia cut into pieces, without any regard
for anatomy, or for the butchers regular
cuts;' and an iron spit, called the asador
is run longitudinally through each strip.
The asqdor is stuck into the ground close
by the fire, and, being carefully watched
the steak is gradually cooked, in a manner
that would give DO discredit in a we'll reg
ulated kitchen. The result of this method
is. that none of the juice of the meat are

THE SABBATH.

The Sabbaths and feast-days are strictly
kept by the gauchOs in their own peculiar
way. They consider it wrong to work on
these days, and, when they do, fine is i'm
posed upon the ,offenderl. But it isper-
fectly allowable for men and women to
dance, gamble, and fight upon feast day.
If the traveller is, by any chance, in one OF
the small towns of the Pampa country, he
will see gouchos gallop up from Estancias
ten, fsteen, or even twenty leagues distant.
They pass the day in testing horseman-
ship; stealing, pitting fighting cocks, con-
Tossing sins to the padres; and not unfre-
quently the grand finale is a general melee,
from which few escape without a wound.

their Value fuctusted to such an extent
that which, at one time, one Spanish dol

weeks later not eight could be obtained
for the same sum. At the present time,
a peso is valued at four or five cents of
