The Yankee in South America.

The following is an extract from a
Buenos Ayres Letter in the Boston Ad-
vestiser: 1.-THE citizen of the United
States is surprised and disappointed to
find how small a part his great coun-
try is playing in the life of the eastern
coast of South America from Cape st.
Rogue to Cape Horn. The Yankee
colony in the various cities consists al
most exclusively Of those connected
with the legations and co%nsulates-a
mere handful of individuals. There
are some few engaged in business of
various kinds, with now and then q
clergyman. ship chandler, naturalist,
professor or dentist, and the officers OF
the United States ships in the different
harbors are an important element.
The triumphs of the American enter
prise are more Of the past than the
present. You Will still see Baldwin
locomotives and old fashioned cars on
some Of the railroads, though the loco
motives are fast becoming supplanted
by those imported from England and
Germany, and the cars are
made in the country itself.
Stephenson horse ears hold their own,
and some Of the companies r man.
aged by Americans, who have made
considerable money out Of them. In
Rio the New York ferry boats ply
across the bhv. The Bell telephone Is
generally used, but the management is
now principally in the control Of local
organizations. Agricultural nipple.
ments and sewing machines from the
United States have a very good sale
and Waltham watches also find pur.
chasers. The great life insurance com
panies of New York have their adver.
tisements over the country, and as
their offices are in large and elaborate
buildings it is to be supposed they are
doing q profitable business"

Another Social Peril.

The city postmaster, with the inten-
ton of making use of the Specialize
livery stamp as general as possible,
says the Wash ngton Star, keeps the
messenger boys supplied with them, SO
that when delivering a letter. if it is
desired to send an answer, the boys
can furnish the stamp. One Of the
residents of the city. however, has rea-
son to complain of this feature of the
new system. One morning not long
ago he left home, telling his wife he
would not be homo again until late
that evening, as he expected to be
called out of the city. His wife, rec
ognizing the demands of business life.
babe him an affectionate adieu, and
tried not to think how nan hours
would elapse before his return, and
how long they would seem. Busted
with her household work her mind was
serene and cheerful, and when the
front door bell rang she tripped lightly
down the stairs and opened the door
with smiling face. Her smile was not
lost upon the little fellow who stood
there with a letter from the ~postOitice
bearing a special stamp. He smiled in
return, and the atmosphere about the
pretty little woman was so exhilerat-
ing that he forgot that he was not max
ing money enough to pay for his shoe
leather.
Il have q letter for Mr.. --" said
the boy mentioning her husbands
name.
He is out OF the city to-day" said
the lady sweetly. will give it TO
him when he returns.
WELL" said the boy, doubtfully.
'the lady SAID l should give the letter
to him personally"
The boy was surprised to see the
sweet face change as the little woman
with a quick movement snatched tho
letter out OF his hand, and, slamming
the door in his face, left him standing
on the front steps considerably daZed
by the sudden transition.
When he returned to the postoffice
he found that the man for whom the
letter was intended had been there in
curing for a letter which he expected
to find in his box. 1t was then remem-
bered that the boy had been sent out
with a letter which he had delivered to
the lady as he had said. As she wished
to send n reply the messenger boy gave
her n special-delivery stamp, and as
she did not know the address Of tho
citizen in question. but only the num-
Der of his postotiice box. she directed
it there. The boy brought the letter
to the pOstoffice, but as tho stamp re-
CURED an immediate delivery. the adj
dress of the man was found in the di-
rectery and the boy posted away to his
home with the result rs above stated.
When the man was informed of the
disposition of the letter by the postOf-
flee official, he turned pale and was
heard to murmur something about not
daring to go home now. Whether he
ever did 90 home, and what occurred
when he got home, is not known.

WEALTH UNDER THE SEA.
The Way They Bring Up Pearls
In the South Pacific Ocean.

OAA OSOOAs
We are working, says Mr.. Harry
Streeter in his last letter from the
pearl fisheries. which was read to me,
with small open boats and two four.ton
ketches. which are perfect in any
weather, only coming every second
day to give up their shells. The only
flaw in our arrangements is that the
boats are too small for the work; in
case bad weather sets in they get to
ieeward, and have to lie over in a
heavy sea and take thor chances of
swapping, while the ketches. being
decked in, ride like ducks. Many a
time after u hard days work, and all
hands thoroughly tired out, we have
had to get up anchor and make sail af-
ter some poor bcggar going out to
sea, and not able to reach the ship. IL
a boat sinks the pump goes down with
her, and there is a dress lost. One of
the boats has sunk twice, but luckily
close to the ship, and we have sent a
diver down and got everything up
without damage. At present we are
uider the lee of an island, and, as the
wind blows from south to southwest
every night, we lie as snug as possible;
but when we first came down we were
lying in the middle OF the gulf blow
ing a gale of wind every night and Dip

land niggers on any consideration.
You have got to ride or a couple of
months up country to catch your men,
and after you have got them they must
be watched night and day to prevent
them putting Then every one on
board literally digs it out during the
time they see on the grounds, having
to sleep and eat on deck, no matter
what weather. Fancy fifty niggers,
six white men and 90, 000, 900 cock
caches all cumming together, and
all living ON damper and tea. The
men, who receive a handsome percent
age, work like demons if we say moth
ing to them, letting them 60 out when
they like and return when they like,

break and not in till Z o'clock at night.
Your experience of Torres straits will
tell you that If they go down there for

''All there is to do under the present
system is to count the shells on ar
rival. This takes from an hour to an
hour and a half each morning. Chips,
myself, and the mate open them. This
takes from two to four hours, depend
ing on the number of the shells, and
then they are washed and put in the
sun to dry for twenty-four hours. The
shell is broken into two pieces, the in
side edges clipped, and then packed
away in hogsheads. Though the shells
run so small here, we have close on
twelve tons in nine weeks, and if they
had run the average of West Austral-
ian shells-1, 200 to 1900 to the ton
we should have close on twenty tons
on board, as to make our present
amount we have over $4,000 shells on
board"

Another exciting and by far the most sen.
sational event In the celebrated Bristor case
took place Wednesday evening whom DR..
Bristor and number OF his friends were
elected from the Methodist parsonage at
Spring Valley, N. Y. The parsonage was
rented and paid for by the members OF the
Methodist church and has been occupied by
the Bristors ever since he went to Spring
Valley. Several weeks ago when Bris-
tors connection with the church ceased
he was requested to move out OF the house"
This he has steadfastly refused to do, and ON
Monday evening q notice was served on him,
giving him forty-eight hours to vscate. The
time passed and he still remained In posses
sion, together with number OF his friends
who had gone to the parsonage to see what
could be done. Soon after p. m. Constable
Fisher and two aids followed by over one
hundred other persons, entered the house
and commanded the occupants to leave at
by DR.. BristOr not to offer any resistance If
fOrce was used.
The constable stepped up to John @. Wood,
one Of Mr.. BristOr's strongest friends, and
told him to get out Wood refused and
dared the officer to put him out. can

go," and, seizing Wood by the neck, he
threw him out Of the door clear into the mid
die Of the road. A half dozen others were
treated I'm the same manner, upon their re-
f,lsal TO vacate. Then It came to the ladies'
turn. Although 1t required some force to
get them out they were not treated 30 rudey
~ the men. DR.. Bristor waited ON the out
side till all had been put out and then, get

up the street to Woods house, where he
spent the night. No one In Spring Valley
