crossed BY q superb stone bridge
of six arches, built more than two and
a half centuries ago. The bridge con-
meets the city proper with the sub
urb, San Lazaro, containing two de-
lightlul prOmenades, bordered by
double rows Of trees. Lima is sur
rounded by brick walls eighteen to
twenty-five feet high, and nine feet
thick at the top, their circuit being
some nine miles. The streets are
thirty-three feet wide, cross each 9TH
er at rightangles, and divide the town
into about two hundred squares. The
common houses are low and irregular
" built Of adobes, with partition walls
and roofs of cane and plaster, pre-
ferred to solid material on account
of the frequency of earthquakes
and the extreme rarity Of rain. They
have, for the most part, no windows
toward the street, the smaller houses
having only a door, and a glass Ian
tern over it. TIE larger houses have
great folding doors opening into the
street and leading into the courtyard
(patio), after the manner of hous, in
southern Europe. Through the center
of the streets flow small streams, run
ming parallel with the river, and along
their margins are throngs of buzzsrds
which act as seavengers. On the east
side of the city stands the massive
stone cathedral in which Pizarro was
buried after his assassination. The
city was founded by him January 5,
1875, the festival of the Epiphany.

Not a land flowing with milk and
honey; not a land of olive yards and
vineyards, of southern skies and cffemi-
nate luxuriance, of Spanish dances and
Italian serenades, of soft intrigues and
quick revenges that wait upon life itself.
Not a land of fragrant breezes, where
the nightingale sings to his mate. while
the moon with her train of satellites
in stately dignity rises in the dark blue
dome, bathing the earth in q silvery
food, the while lovers pace romantic
ruins washed by o broad flowing Rhine,
or q sterner Danube, or linger in the
bowers on the banks Of the soft blue
waters of a Moselle; lovers whose lips
are silent for a bliss that is filling their
hearts with emotion, for which an etern-
ity would be too short; AMI life, alas
often proves but too long. Not this.
But a land of eternal SHOWS, whose
mountain tops are fraught with the mys-
terry of a silence that is never broken,
where the foot of man never falls; Of
gigantic icebergs, of rushing streams, of
grand waterfalls, and mighty cataracts,
that seem to increase and multiply as
you progress through the country.
A land which ives every thing to na-
ture and nothing to man; where ruins
are not, and the nightingale's song is
unheard, and bowers of roses may be
read about, but scarcely seen. A land
~scantily peopled, but peopled by men
and women honest and fearless, simple
and genuine, frank and hospitable; una
til a day will come when mixture with
the world which seeks them more and
more year by year may give them the
faults of that world, and take from them
their best ~heritage-a single eye, a sin
gle faith, an uprightness of purpose rare
as beautiful after COCO years of level
ing. A land where railroads are scarce,
and travelling is long and laborious, but
pleasant. "A land not pampered by the
refined luxury of the age. the ~squander-
ing of wealth in pomp and vanity, pur-
pie and fine linen; but a land of stern
realities, where wealth is rare, and each
mans inheritance is labor and toll. A
land with bright bracing air; Il coast
iron bound and full of wonders, A
land that reminds us in a measure of
that city hat hath no foundation,
where there "is no night for here dur
ing some portion of the year the sun
never sets, and darkness salls not.
