Mark Twain as German Scholar.

WENT often TO look at the collection
of curiosities in Heidelberg Castle, and
one iay surprised the keeper of it with
language. He was greatly interested.
and after had talked while he said
my German was very rare. possibly a
unlike and wanted TO add il TO his
museum. If he had known what it cost
me Ia acquire my art he would also
have known that it would break any
collector to buy it. Surely there is not
another language that is so slipshod
and sSstemless, and so slippery and
elusive 10 the grasp. One is washed
about in it. hither and thither. in the
most helpless way. and when at last he
thinks he has captured a rule which
offers firm ground to take a rest on
amid the general rage and turmoil of
the parts of speech. he turns over the
page and reads. Let the pupil make
careful note of the following excep-
tons He runs his eye down and finds
that there are more exceptions To the
rule than instances of il. So overheard
he goes again to hunt for another
Araraf and to find another quicksand.

A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Tunes writes from Santiago, Chill, of
the habits of society there. He says:
"These wealthy landowners, haoendados
or possessors of very large farms, are,
as a rule, mere absentees, having little
more than pied a terre on their estates,
which they only visit for month or
two in the year, and hardly ever leav-
ing their homes in the capital, to which
political or soci4l duties are supposed to
bind them except for short residence
at Valparaiso or some other watering
place on the sea or island. The extrav-
agance of this gentry is described as
boundless. More than Fl SOC, 600 has
been spent in house building in the
period of four years 1Sa3 81. Some OF
these private houses cost 100000 TO
ESQ, 600 each, and " the carriage licenses
taken out in the latter year show that
there were altogether 1,2S4 private car
riages, besides AL public conveyances,
and 1850 carts and drays.' This will
appear somewhat considerable, if we
reflect that it refers to town muster
ing a population of 100000. The lux
ury in winch these Chilian magnates so
literally indulge has the effect of rails
ing the price of all commodities, and
especially of all articles imported from
abroad to an enormous extent. A book or
an almanac charged Is in London at
shop price can not be purchased here for
less than IS cd: pair of kid gloves is not
to be had for less than los, and as rule a
dollar, silver dollar, the value Of which
varies from IS to 5s, will go no further
than Is would in the old countries. The
charge for hair cutting as Mrs. Brassy
found out in Valparaiso, SIS $3.50; a
hree-and-six-penny Let's diary costs
50 so; tall hat (chimney-poD costs
SIS; you must pay Cd each for parch-
ment luggage labels, Sd apiece for quill
pens, As for quire Of common note-pa-
per and so on in proportion All such
articles for one who, like myself, tried
the shops in both places. are even dear
er in the capital than in the seaport. The
people here seem TO value things rather
from their cost than from their real
worth. The extravaganza of all Ameri-
cans is something that far transcends
the limits of Old World comprehension.
At Guayaquil, the shabby seaport of
the sone-horse republic of Ecuador, l
have seen toy shop where the price of
German wax dolls varied from twenty
to eighty silver dollars (fl6.) A Pana-
ma hat would be charged fifty or sixty
guineas, and prices of the same enormi-
ty are charged for guanaco coat or a
vicuna rug, an ostrich feather wrapper
or poncho, and other luxuries of local
manufacture. Equally eNtortionate are
the charges at the hotels for board and
lodging, particularly for the consumers
of foreign wines; the meanest Bordeaux
OF doubtful vintage never being put
down at less than IS, and the price of n
room, with boarding, whether the
meals are eaten or not, being from 81
