Buenos Ayres.

On entering Buenos Ayres from the pier one can hardly realize that it is the chief city of South America, and one of the most flourishing places in the world. Tho streets are narrow and badly paved, holes several feet deep being not uncom- mon, and the houses arc mostly only ground floor; some have one upper story but very few have two. However, it inn proves on nearer acquaintance. The 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 fl many of the principal streets are editices which would not disgrace the best parts of Lon don or Paris. Indeed, several we'll known English and French firms have branch establishments here quite equal in style to their head offices.
 BuenoS Ayres is the most European looking city of South America, yet 1t is far from being English in appearance; I should rather describe it as being ''Medi- terranean," though 1t would be difficult to say whether it is more Spanish, Pro- vencal, or Italian. The great majority of the working classes are Italians, and the inscriptions on all the shops near the water are in that language. But on ad- yancing into the town, one hears quito as much English, German ard French spoken as Spanish or Italian; and English booksellers, French hotels and German bierhallen abound.
 The restaurants are almost all French, from establishments equal to the best on the Paris boulevards down to estaminets, whose chief delicacies are sauerkraut and snails. Every nations tastes are con- suited. The Marseillaise can get bouil- labaisse, the Neapolitan ravioli and macaroni, made and cooked by his fellow countrymen, and an Englishman has a better chance of good cut of roast beef than he would have in many European tOWnS,-LOndOn Graphic

B0ST0N'S BIG BLAZE.
A Fatal Fire in a Fireworks
 Establishment.
THREE LIVES LOST
Three Other Employes AHo Injured- Others Hay still Be In the Ruins
 of the Burned Building - The

BOSTON, June 22.-A disastrous fire, accompanied by loss of life ccurred early last evening in the fireworks estab- hshment of Heyer Brothers, corner of Summer and Hawley streets. Three dead bodies have been taken from the ruins, and three persons are known to be fatally injured. It is feared that there may be moro victims among the debris.
 The building was occupied on the ground floor by c. E. Browning. milliner and on the three upper floors by Heyer Brothers, dealers in fancy goods and fire work. A salesman discovered the fire on the second floor shortly after 5 o'clock.
 The flames spread rapidly, cutting off the escape of several men in the upper stories, and in five minutes the dense smoke and almost incessant discharge of fireworks made the building a perfect panIemonium for those confined within the walls.
 Edward Heyer, one of the firm, was nearly overcome by smoke. He managed to climb to an adjoining building and es- capped unhurt. Charles Albert Gage, aged 20, dropped from the third story window and broke his neck.
 Charles F. Callahan of 426 Chelsea street, East Boston, and Thomas Paine, packers, who were working on the fourth floor, jumped from a window in their fright. Paine was instantly killed and Callahan's injuries will probably prove fatal.
 William Brenenstuhl, who was on the second floor, was doing good service in checking the flames, but lost his way while carrying water and rolled down the stairs. He was injured so badly that 1t Is feared that he cannot recover. A body taken from the building has been recognized as that of Samuel Cord, tho chief packer
 The body of a boy was also taken to the morSue and has not yet been identi- fled. This completes the casualties SO far as known. The firm employed from twenty to twenty-five men and boys, and carried a stock of $2OOOO worth of fire works and $50, 1000 to S60,OOO worth of fancy goods, which is we'll insured. A large portion of the stock Is ruined.
 During the fire the discharge of fire works sounded as if Q battle was in pro- gress. Occasionally a rock ket would shoot out of the windows. The interior of tho building was completely ruined, but the walls are left standing.
 The employees were largely foreigners, and known to the firm by their first names only, and this fact may add to the difficulty of ascertaining whether or not there are any other bodies ill the build- ing. The cause of the fire Is not known.

Where is 1t Safest2

In 1882 tho chairman of the London and Northwestern stated that there had not been single passenger killed on their line within the previous three years. Sir John Hawkshaw, speaking of safety on railways generally, said that only one passenger was injured for every 4,O00,O of miles travelled and on an average a person may travel 100000 miles each year for forty years and the chances are of not receiving the slightest injury. Again, Sir E. Watkin ''main- tained that railway travelling was safer than eating, because it is a fact that more people choke themselves in Eng land than are killed on all the railway S of the United Kingdom.-Chambers ,JOurnaI
