The LAST HOURS OF THE DICTATOR
LoPEz.-PARTICULARs OF HIS TRAGIC
DEATH. - A correspondent of the New
York World furnishes new version of the
manner in which Lopez, the Dictator of
Paraguay, met his death. The. World
claims that it is authentic. 1t is as fol-
lows
When Lopez was surprised by the Bra
zilians he was mounted on a gray horse.
and trotted along with two of his aides de
camp, all the rest of the party going on
foot. This was the only time in which the
Brazllians surprised the Dictator. The Or
derby Of Col. Tavares, the Brazilian COM
mander, as soon as he heard that the gray
horseman was Lopez, gave him a blow
with a lance which wounded him in the
abdomen. At the same time others fired
at him and at his aides-decamp, one of
whom fell, having been wounded in the
head. This was CaminOs, one of LOpez's
ministers. Although wounded again, Lo-
PEI continued to ride at half gallop toward
the woods near by. Just at the entrance
OF this wood lay great swamp, wherein
| the Presidents horse began TO sink. To
| avoid any delay in his flight, he dismount-
ed rapidly, took off his blouse, and disap-
peared among the trees.
General Camara was then approaching,
and was told by major that Lopez was
there. The general doubted it, but dis
mounted and penetrated into the wood, and
found Lopez crossing a stream and endeav-
oring to reach the opposite bank. Gener-
al Camara entered the stream, and when
at short distance from Lopez said to him,
/ Surrender, Marshal, | am the Brazilian
commander As an answer, Lopez fired
a shot in the direction of Camara, and, as
he reached the bank, fell on his knees ex-
hausted. In half minute more Camara
stood near him, and ordered soldier of
the Ninth Infantry to disarm Lopez. He
did not quietly surrender but struggled
with the soldier for some time.
At the same moment A soldier of the cay
airy came up, and, seeing the hard strug-
gle, fired at Lopez, the ball entering his
| heart. The dictator fell down, and in ten
minutes more he was dead
The correspondent states that when Mrs.
Lynch the mistress Of Lopez vas over
taken by the pursuing force, she was in a
carriage, escorted by a guard of soldiers.
Colonel Pancho lopez about eighteen
years old, and son of the Dictator did
not readily obey the order to surrender, as
the rest Of the party did but with lance
and royolveroiered most serious resistance.
After some shots had been fired by him,
the Brazilian officer in command of the at
/ lacking force cut him down with his sword.
The correspondent makes the almost in
/ credible stl-emeut'that when "the mother
and sisters Of Lopez were taken they were
on their knees thanking Providence for
the tyrants fall

The great field trials at Sedaia, Mo-, and at
Nenia, Ohio, in the summer of lS69-where "The
Clipper" met some 40 competitors, including all
the leading machines built and was awarded the
first premiums and Gold Medal-prove that the
proprietors have been able to sustain in the field
their claims of superiority for the Clipper Ma
chine over all others. Its extraordinary light
ness of draft takes one-third of the labor off the
team. The adJustabiity of the finger bar, to cut
high or low without stopping the team, is worth
S25 on any machine. 1t is the only Mower that
has the true centre draft in accordance with cor
rect mechanical principles. In short, it is the
highest, the most durable the least complicated,
the most perfectly constructed, the most SYM
