THE REPUBLICA INCOGNlTA.


A South American Country Which Has
Nine Women for Each Man.
On Friday morning ! looked out OF
my cabin window to find that we were
tied up at the most yellow wharf that I
ever saw, and in front of a large barn
like building. l did not dream that
we were at Asuncion, but going on
deck found that the barn was the Gus
tom house for Paraguay, and that when
we went ashore we were in the city OF
the republica incognita. A very nice
little city we found it to be. Not that
it is pretty or pretentious, or worth
visiting-but it is an enterprising, re-
publican, go-ahead place. Most of the
houses are small and old, and are built
without any regard to being on the
streets. You cannot imagine Il more
irregular assemblage of houses, but the
symmetry with which the public
buildings are built offsets this. The
Presidents house, Government house,
arsenal. barracks, and custom house,
stand on wide boulevards, and with the
exception of the latter, are rs well
built as the similar buildings in any
American city of the same rank. The
word "asuncion," you know, is not
| Spanish for ascension" as we used to
believe when schoolboys, but for as
sumption, and in the case of the
Paraguayan city is well bestowed, for
it is not often in South America that
there can be found a city that is more
assuming politically, socially and
generally. Remember that fifteen years
ago it was sacked by the Brazilian
army, and look at it now as busy
trading town of $4,000 people, many
of them of fine cultivation. In short
one need not fear to be proud of see
ing such city, a city built by virgin
forests on Il beautiful hill that slopes
from sunny farm lands to the grand
wide Parana. l will not go into dusty
details, but assure you that though iso
lated, Paraguay is a State worth know
ING. Situated in the warm heart o
South America, it lies under tn
shadow of the Sierras, and between
the two great rivers, Parana and Par
aga. Into its territory there hav

Ellen is the feminine of Alain, Alan
or Allan, and has no possible connec-

different language, and older by at least
a thousand years. Amy is not from
aimee, but from annie. Avice, or Avis,
does not exactly mean advice, as some
seem to think. it comes from Kdwis,
and means happy wisdom. Eliza has
no connection with Elizabeth. 1t is
the sister of Louisa, and both are the
daughters of Heloise, which is IIelewis,
hidden wisdom. There is indeed an.
other form of Louisa, or rather Louise
which is the feminine of Louis, but this
was scarcely heard of before the six
teenth century.
The older Helo'sa form of the name
Aloisa, Aloisa or Aloysa, was adopted
into medieval English as Alesia--i

PROHIBITION I'm MAINE.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune has been making a tour in Maine
for the purpose Of finding out whether
the Prohibitory law in that State pre-
vents the sale of liquor. He reports
that in Portland hardly the pr~etense OF
secrecy is kept up. Bars may be seen in
many parts of the city, selling liquor
openly and without molestation. The
hotels have bars-in the basement, in.
deed, but very easy Of access, and every.
body knows they are there. The drug
stores are thinly disguised barrooms-as
they are in other parts of the country as
well-and do a thriving business.
In the country, he says, any one can
obtain liquor who wishes it. When a
respectable farmer, who exclaimed
against the disgrace of having liquor sold
in his nearest village, was asked why he
did not lay information and put a stop to
IL, he replied: Its not my business.
I'm not going to play the spy on my
neighbors." Since it is the business of
special revenue officers to find out where
liquor is sold illegally, the respectable
people do nothing to stop the sale, on
their own account. Public sentiment is
not reused, as it was thirty-ive years
ago, to the point where private citizens
are ready to help put down the liquor
traffic.
Such reports must be rather discourage
ing to those who hold legal prohibition
to be the only method of controlling
drunkenness.

"a NJ APOSTLES IN EUROPE.

President Taylor and his probable sue
cessor. ex.Delegate Cannon, complain
bitterly of the persecution OF the
Government. but simultaneously with
the lament of these refugees OF the Nor
mon Church came a report OF a congress
of Mormon apostles in London, showing
what progress has been made in winning
proselytes in Europe, and announcing
that two ships will leave Liverpool fol
New York in May and June, laden with
converts for Salt Lake City. Is it not
the duty of the Government to expose
the Mormon apostles in the Old World
Senator Evarts will perhaps propose
action by Congress for that purpose, as
he made suggestions in that direction
while Secretary of State, but President
Cleveland can Immediately give warning
to foreign countries as to the character
of Mormon apostles from Salt Lake City,
aud if he is resolved to complete the ex'
tirpation of the system of polygamy IL
Utah he can advantageously do SO. The
Mormon apostles are most successful IN
Scotland and Wales, and those countries
NAV soon receive a curse similar to that
launched upon unsympathetic London,
if the people there are now faithfully
warned against Mormon missionaries.
