A South american Amazon.
From La Hos del Nueuo Mundo the New
Orleans Times translates the following
interesting account of the great excite
ment produced in Paraguay by the ar
rival Of the notorious Eliza Lynch, for
merly the wife of the tyrant Lopez, who
for many years ruled the Republic with
the lash of q despot. The account says
that upon the arrival ofthe tyrant's wife
the news spread abroad like wildfre, and
knots Of people gathered together and
conversed excitedly. Having gone
ashore at Ascension, accompanied by her
son, she deiantly passed through the
city, although at every step she per-
ceived hostile movements against her.
She was perfectly calm, smiled at old
friends, called others by name, and tothe
poor she gave presents of money. Thus
she adroitly Gained the storm. She was
not long at peace, for the storm again
broke out. Fifty ladies, representing
the first families in Paraguay, met and
passed resolutions demanding the i'm.
mediate expulsion of the tyrant's wife
from Paraguay. When the action of the
fifty ladies became known, there were
some demonstrations made in favor of
lynch law, but the authorities deter
mined to preserve the peace by expelling
Madame Lynch. Her fate was made
known to her, and then she demanded
protection as a British subject from the
Captain of the English man-of-war lying
in the harbor, on the ground that her
life was in danger from the mob. The
commander at the time wal enjoying his

replied that he would grant her protec-
tionH on board his vessel; that he could
not interfere with the laws of the Re
public or mix himself up in internal af-
fairs. When the reply went back to
Mime. Lynch she received it without
moving a muscle, and simply asked that
her revolver should be placed on the
table. When lying before her she coolly
remarked: "That friend will protect
me-" The hour of expulsion was set for
one O'Clock at night, as it was believed
that the majority of the people would be
sound asleep at that time, and thus there
wasno fear of Nine. Lynch being mobbed
on the way. Attic hour mentioned the
