Bucnos Ayres-

On entering Buenos Ayres from the
pier one can hardly realize that 1t u the
chief city Of South America and one OF
the most hourishing places in the world.
The streets are narrow and badly paved,
holes several feet deep being not uncom-
mon, and the houses are mostly only
ground floor; some have one upper story,
but very few have two. However, It
improves on nearer acquaintance. Inc
streets. though not wide, are straight
and uniform. and far better than those
Of Seville, Cadiz and great many other
important European cities. and between
the shanties which still exist in many Of
the principal streets are edidces which
would not disgrace the best parts If Lon
don or Paris. Indeed, several well known
English and French firms have branch
establishments here quite equal IN style
TO their head offices. 3uenos Ayres Is
the most European looking city OF South
America, yet it is far from being English
in appearance: should rather describe
it as Mediterranean" though il would
be difficult 10 say whether II IS more
Spanish. Proyencal or Italian.
The great majority Of the working
classes are Italians, and the inscriptions
on all the shops near the water are 10
that language. But on advancing into
the town, one hears quite as much Eng
lish. German and French spoken as Span
ish or Italian and English booksellers
German Berhalen and French hotels
abound The restaurants ago almost all
French. from establishments equal % the
best on the Paris boulevards down 20
estamnels, whose chief dcllcacics arc
sauerkraut and snails. Every nations
tastes are consulted. The Mar,eillaisc
can get bouillabaisse, the Neapolitan IA
yioli and macaroni, made and cooked by
his fellow countryman, and an English
man has better chance OF a Eoou OFT nf
roast beef than he would have IN many
European towns. London Globe.

Death or william y. Tart.

CHARLESTON. S. c.. June 2l.-Wil.
liam y. Taft died at Maysville. Sumter
county. 5. c., to-day. Mr.. Taft was for
the last quarter of century one of the
most prominent figures in Republican
circles in this State. He came 70 Charles
ton with the Third Rhode Island artil-
lery when fifteen years of age. After
being mustered out of service he en-
gagged in business here. opening little
suffers shop. He entered into politics
soon after the close OF the war. and was
made lieutenant of police under the
first Republican Mayor elected here in
1865.
From that position he rose gradu-
ally. having been successively elected
county coroner. county auditor, alder
man. State senator. and postmaster
serving in the latter capacity through
the Arthur administration. He ran
for Congress in 1878, but was defeated
by 5. Dibble. The remarkable feature
OF Taft's career was the fact that he
was one Of the few office-holders in this
State. under the rec0nslruction regime,
who passed through that era public life
with unblemished hands. Taft lost his
mind year or 80 ago. and was sent 10
the State Insane Asy and subse-
quently to an asylum North. where he
recovered. He was suddenly removed
from the city a few days ago and taken
to his friend s plantation in Sumter
county, where he died to-day. lie Sas

Few Washington people know what a
wolverine is. They know that Michigan
IS called the Wolverine state and that
Michigan people are called Wolverines.
But they havo little or no idea why the
state was so named or what the nick
name means.
Tho state is named after an animal
that used 20 infcst, and still lroquents,
the dense woods i'm the northern part of
the state, as well as i'm the woods Of
northern Wisconsin aud Canada. This
animal is tho wolverine. or, a3 the yarie-
ties of him found in northern European
countries are called. the glutton. They
are savage beasts, these wolverines are,
and they play sad havoc with the cattle
of the Michigan farmers. They are like
cross between wolf and bear The
tail and the temper resemble those Of
wolf hut i'm strength and size aud save
aeencss they much resemble "a bear.
Thcyarolcssclumsy than bears, though,
and they can climb trees. Manya hunter
has walked under q tree mp in Michigan
without looking for % wolverine in the
tree first, and the wolverine dropped
down on him from ono Of The lower
hmls. and before the next morning had
eaten him uu. hucasaiu brocchc' andall
oven 20 the heels Of bis hunting boots.
They are ugly looking beasts. tho only
pretty thing asout them being their
iu.hy tail. q foot or $50 long. Their claws
are longer and sharper than bears, and
their teeth just as sharp.
Altogether the animal Is very un-
pleasant sort Of ono TO sec outside Of
cage. They are So savage and SO wary
and suspicious that it is almost impos-
sible 10 catch ihem alive, and so they
don't have them in circuscs and zoolosi-
cal gardens. and most people don't know
what they are. They are SO savage that
hunters don't care TO hunt Them. and ao
fho wolverine has things about his owu
way wherehe lives. Washington Critic.

WINNIPEG, MAN. June 2l.-This
morning at 1890 o. clock Martin Burke
was brought up in court before Judge
Balm. Mr. Howell, counsel for the
prosecution. asked that the case be re-
mandod for one week He said he was
collecting evidence, and would be pre-
pared to 20 ahead with one witness to-
morrow. but as counsel he and addi-
tiOnal witnesses would have to be
brought from Chicago. he thought re-
mand for a week would be necessary.
He had written to States Attorney
Longenecker telling him exactly what
he would have 10 prove in order to se-
cure Burke extrsdition.
Isaac Campbell, Burke's counsel, OBJ
jected to 80 long remand, and Judge
Balm decided that the case should 20
over until next Wednesday.
1t is understood that one Of the wit
nesses referred to is Matenson. who will
arrive from the South this afternoon.
