SOUTH AMERICA.
Report OF the Congressional COMMITTEES
Regarding the Commerce Thereof.

New YORK, Jan. 8.-The commission to
Central and South American States has pre-
sented its report to the President. 1t r~ecites
the manner in which it performed its duties.
In order to secure more intimate commer.
cial relations between the United States and
the several countries of Central and South
America. the commission fnds that there
must be: Q) Regular direct steam
communication. ~ Commercial trea-
ties and reciprocal concessions AMI
tariff duties. (3) Simpli6csttOn aud
notifications of customs regulations in
Central and South American countries.
az Increase and Improvement of Con
sular service. (5) The establishment OF
American mercantile houses in Central aud
South America. (6) More intimate knowl-
edge among American manufacturers OF the
wants of the people of Central and South
America. "a A system of banking con-
nection and common standard of value
(S) More liberal credits by our mer-
chants. (9) The introduction Of a bonded
warehouse system in these countries.
With reference to the fourth proposition
the commission says it has been urged with
much force to recommend the establishment
Of a new executive department Of the Gov
eminent, similar to the Board of Trade Of
England, with a member of the Cabinet for
It's head, to which should be committed the
care and arrangement of our foreign COM
meTce. In this department might be con.
ceDtrated all the powers OF the Government
IN watching, protecting and promoting the
commercial interests of the country in
foreign markets, an agency under whose
guidance and encouragement the great COM
merce of Great Britain has grown up.
In order to encourage the construction Of
vessels to secure means of communication
between the United States and Central aud
South America, it has heen suggested that
Congress authorize the Postmaster General
70 advertise for proposals for carrying the
mails to and from the ports Of Central and
South America for a period of ten years, and
make contracts for that period with the low.

which shall guarantee as low charges per

of Cows.

a suburban correspondent sends the fol-
lowing amusing Instance OF intelligence IN
COWS to a London paper: TIE other morn
Ing, 8 very sultry one, two COWS came to our
gate, evidently on the lookout for something,
and after being at first somewhat puzzled by
their pleading looks the thought struck me
that they might be in want of water. No
sooner had this occurred TO me than l had
some water brought in a large vessel, which
the poor animals at once sucked up with the
greatest eagerness. The pair then sauntered
~contentedly away to a field near at hand.
In about half a hour or so we were sur.
prised and amused not a little by seeing our
two friends marching up to the gate, accom-.
panied by three other cows. This water tag
was again called into requisition, and the
nsw corners were in like manner helped lib
orally. Then, with gratiied and repeated
'~boo-Oos' "a unanimous vote OF thsnks)
our visitors slowly marched of to their Pas
tursge. 1t was quite clear to Us that the
two frat callers, grstifed at their friendly
reception, had strolled down to their sister
gossips and dairy com p~anions, and had in
termed them-hOw Icannet say, can your

TAI en- the very pardOnable liberty .f invit-
irg them no to our cottage.

the first couple, bringing a stranger With
them; and have little doubt these morn.

Small farms are the best" said NJ. d z
Emory, of Longmont. to the Farmer, a day
or TIVE since. Il know { II b a fac5. %
cause Two had experience with bOta lave
ard small. In Colorado q man is very apt 70
get the land fever. and the result is he has
more land than his means will sliOw MIN u
cultivate, or, III il he grazing land, ne has no
money 70 buy stock with; his purchase ls 0f
no use to him, and, unless By some extraor-
binary stroke of good fortune, he remains as

days.
Now the nan who owns but forty ACRES
determines to get as much out Of this land as
possible, and TO this end fe~rtilizes il. sees tsat
il IS irrigated properly, and gets in most cases
as mrch ss his neighbor who farms eighty.
The natural reasoning then is that small
ferns, Is a rule. yield the largest profits. An
other reason Why they paw is, that WhOeger
owns a small farm generally has poultry,
swine, etc. Is the farm does not take all his
time, he sees the hens, the chickens aud the
turkeys have proper care. He hes a few
cuws aud a small dairy. which, as he is not
obliged 10 be working the land all the time,
receives the attention needed. The butter
ana c eese from this dairy ara always we'll
made and invariably bring the highest
prices and meet with a ready sale. The eggs
and poultry also sell well, the former being
fresh and the latter fat and plump, as only
well cared for poultry can be.
ION the forty acres can be grow a liberal
supply of vegetables, and there is ample
time TO give them, too. the necessary stten-
ton. A little of everything is found on this
farm, a perfect exemplihcation OF mixed
farming. l have often heard people say of
poultry on q farm, as an instance OF how
small things are regarded, 'Phaw! Chickens
are q nuisance Yet l know a family in
Colorado which this same nuisance furnished
largely with their subsistence for one while.'

 "Sure's you're born. have suspected that she was working that way for somu time past, but it's only within day or two that became positive"
 "Well, that's wonderful. Say, how does she act?"
 "Languid-very languid. She lops around, drawls her words, writes sad poetry, and the sight of an old pie tin or banged-up chromo entrances her. Congratulate me on my luck"
 "I dol do. That is"
 "What?"
 Don't build hopes too fast Be sure you are right, then go ahead. Ilabored for a whole year under the delusion that my wife was developing as an aesthetic, and when I came to talk with her father he said she was always more than half idiot by nature.

Between Patti and her sister Carlotta. as the world knows, there is undying hatred. The last mentioned is 8 great artist and woman of great heart. She is really loved by many in her career. and when dreadful operation was per formed on her in Paris two years ago the whole world sent messages, letters and dispatches, all of anxious, inquiry. but from the sister whose arms had profered many childish embrace there came not one word of love or sympathy. All the while that Carlotta Patti was m the hospital with the good sisters ofASt. Joseph, Adelina was at the Hotel du Rhin, and during fourteen anxious days. while lowering between life and death. an own sister, she never sent word to know how she was, and said. when asked, to come and witness the operation and join in the sacraments taken with the family before the chloroform was given. that "She dld not care whether she lived or died, and not to annoy her any more" Mime.

Snake Stories from the White Sulphur
 Springs.

There are no flies or mosquitoes at the White Sulphur, but there are plenty of snakes in the outlying neighborhood. The mountains are filled with copper heads, rattlesnakes and adders. There are no desirable walks and drives about here. The majority of visitors keep within the 800 acres known as the White Sulphur reservation. The other day 8 mountaineer brought in two huge rattle snakes. He had them in 8 wooden box with glass top. The snakes were very active and vicious. They rolled, hissed and struck at visitors who bent over the box, greatly to the terror of the chil- dren who crowded about the owner of the snakes. One colored man expressed great fear that the snakes would get out and bite some one. "That would be all day with them, I guess" said he "Oh, no said the mountaineer ga rattle snake bite doesn't amount to nothin'."
 "1t don't?" said visitor.
 "No," said the mountaineer; there is not man up in our pearts but what has been bit by rattlers good many times. It IS easy enough to cure the bite.
 "How 1"
 Oomo put on GurpenEne- InRk draws the pizen out. Jest put the mouth of bottle filled with turpentine on the wound, and the pizen will dror out and make the turpentine green. Some, how ever, kill the snake and bind piece of 1t on the bite. That drors the pizen out. There IS a man up our way, however, who never does nothin' when rattler bites him. He has been bitten three times. The bites kind swelled up, but after 8 time the swellin' went away again.
 "Did he say he did nothing to cure the bites ?"
 "Yes."
 He must have lied"
 He is preacher, and"
 Enough-you need go no further"
 The mountaineer says that the worst snake in the mountains is the copper head. It gives no warning, is often in, clined to be aggressive, snd strikes quickly and surely. Its bite is much more deadly than that of the rattle snake. There Is. den of snakes at Cool Knob, station some thirty miles from here, where there are thousands of snakes in great cavern that no native has ever been bold enough to approach. to say nothing of exploring.
