In the physical world South America
Is full Of wealth. and nature has be-
slowed upon il 3 matchless grandeur in
its rivers and is mountains Professor
Fisher shows US that inter tropical
America North and South surpasses ali
the world In the number and variety of
its plants while Agassiz shows us how
greatly the wonderful variety of its
fishes surpasses that of North America.
OF course, much of the country is now
malarious and unhealthy, yet vast regions
OF elevated and most beautiful sections
are most salubrious and healthy, and
clothed with an incredible wealth oil
ceaseless production. Endless varieties
of the most luscious fruits and beautiful
flowers, with birds of gorgeous plumage
and gigantic butterflies, delight the eve
on every hand, far up on elevations
where neither the winters cold nor ex-
cessive heat is ever known, and all ma
ture teens with health, beauty and
abundance. Even the low levels along
the great rivers teens with endless
wealth, and invite commerce that has
scarcely begun, save in a few articles.
East of the Andes, and intersected by
many great rivers, is probably the great
est and most valuable forest on the
globe, and almost untouched by the ak.
In the museum of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard the writer saw many years ago
collection of the woods of Brazil that
showed a very great variety, and of a
beauty and apparent durability, excel
lence and value that must bring them
into the channels of commerce in Europe.
North America and various parts of the
world. DIR. Thompson, who held the
position of consul for some time, stated
in a lecture, on his return, that in travel
ing on the Amazon he saw sandal wood
trees that here would each be worth
$5, 900. yet of whose value the natives
seemed unconscious or Indifferent. The
mighty Orinoco is four miles wide and
sixty five fathoms in depth at Bolivar,
yet it is small compared with the
Amazon. It's many navigable tributa-
ries make vast system of rivers. This
is connected by a natural navigable
channel (the Cassaquin) with the Anna
Zonian system, whose vast basin covers
the continent at this widest part, and
extends from the Andes to the Atlantic.
In Bolivia formerly known as Upper
Peru, perched high upon the Andes, is
Lake Titicaca, nearly five thousand square
miles in extent. and considered one of
the physical wonders of the world. Its
elevation above the sea level is about
twenty-five times that of Lake Superior.
Here the inhabitants can plant and gather
potatoes and some other crops any time
in the year. But owing to the great
elevation in that latitude there is neither
summer nor winter, and the climate is
too cool to ripen grain. Cincinnati En-

delight in the beautiful; the other
pakeas only the sense of the terribia, a
brible admiration. The mountain

The system Of peonage still exists in
Mexico. In case Of debt the debtors
personal services, or wages earned from
another employer, belong to his creditors
until the debt is paid; but it has been
modified of late years, so that it does not
now apply to debts amounting to over
ten dollars. If man trusts another for
more than that sum, he does so at his
own peril. if he has no property. He
can command his services up to ten
dollars worth, but no farther. The old
life servitude is thus done away with, to
great extent, although many of the
lower classes manage to keep perpetually
in debt, and consequently, practically,
slaves The law, whether it be good or
bad, is executed in Mexico.

Inertia, says letter from Mexico, is
the strongest characteristic of the Mexi-
can-whether by that term we designate
the Creoles (Spaniards and their descend
ants), who are about one-sixth of the
population, the full blooded Indians,
who constitute five-sixths or the Merit
zoes. who make up the other half. They
all like the old wavs instinctively, and
nothing but hope of gain causes them
to turn very slowly toward improved
methods.
For instance, the railroad still finds In
the crowds of human porters and the
droves of donkevs natural and vigorous
rivals in the business of transportation.
In many cases the haciendado could send
his produce cheaper to market by rail,
but he is tardy about finding it out. Mr..
Thomas G. Purdy, vice president of the
national system ofroads, tells me his ex
pericnce: The farmers are willing to
make money, but they seldom
think of leaving the old way
till somebody has demonstrated
its economy. There is rich haci-
endado with some tens of thousands
of acres of land out toward Morelia on
our line. He has always sent his crop
to market with his droves of dOnkeys-
nearly 200 miles. / sent word to him
that we would carry it cheaper, and fur
nish him with rates, but it made no inn
preston. Finally got him down to a
table, with pencil and paper, and figured
it out for him. / showed him that his
burros cost, so much, feed so much, in
terest on money so much. and we threw
in the poems, for he said he had just so
many men all the while and they might
rs well be at work / showed him that
he would make thousands of dollars a
year by sending his produce by us, and
then he gave in reluctantly, and tried
the experiment. course permanently.
But it would be slow work to go to
every farmer In Mexico and show him
that his interest lay in patronizng the
National railway wouldn't it, But
thousands of producers are still trans
,, porting by the old way, not only paying
more for it, but taking valuable time, and
very likely losing the best market"
