ms sailed from England in vessel which
his mother (the wife of old john had
quantity but not inappropriately named
Ihe Repentance, for she remembered the
heartless avarice of her slave dealing hus-
band with shame and sorrow. Being buc-
cancer himself Sir Richard had come into
these waters on marauding expedition,
When he was nverhauled by Spanish fleet
IN the bay of Pisco, and afterwards put to
death. Again in the year l746 Canate suf-
tered greatly from the attacks of the Eng
llsh, when Arson came ashore and burnt
the little fort called Cerro Azul, and carved
his name in big letters on the face of the
cliff, wnere it may still be seen.
Next to grape-growlng the cultivation of
sugar cane engrosses the people in the
neighborhood of Pisco; and as rain never
tails, though the weather is sometimes
quite cold, the necessary irrigation requires
great care and labor. But though the cafe
is backward in maturing, it is of closer
texture, containing more Juice than in
mllder regions and yielding q greater
amount OF sugar. The proprietors of the
Canate haciendas are mostly Englishmen,
and an excellent class of country gentle
men they are, hospitable, upright and much
kinder to their dependents than the Peru
VANS are inclined to be- The buildings on
the estates are
UNIFORMLY LARGE AND HANDSOME,
and description of one applies equally
well to all tho rest One side of the extern
sive courtyard is devoted to the trapiche, or
sugar mill, the boiling house, refinery and
store-rooms; while the other side shelters
the owners family, in long, lofty and airy
apartments, all on the ground floor and ex-
tremely we'll furnished. Adjoining the
mouse is always a chapel ana a resident
priest is maintained whose duty it is to look
out for the spiritual welfare of everybody
on the estate, from the lord of the manor to
the meanest dependent.
Life In these isolated communities is by
no means disagreeable. Everybody rises
very early. takes a bit of bread and CUP of
coffee and goes about his or her espec ial
avocatlon, the master riding over the fields
anu the mistress attending to the house
servants. AT 10 o'clock a. M breakfast is
served; and the meal invariably consists of
soup, eggs, poached or fried and garnished
with slices of fried banana, various dishes
OF meat and chocolate. At O'Clock comes
dinner-soup, fish, roast, some vegetables
well garnlshed with dki or sauce of red
peppers, dulces, (sweetmeats) wine and
coffee. About 9 O'Clock pm. there is sup
per OF tea, bread, and dulces. Attached TO
the house is beautiful garden of fruits
and flowers, with stream of water run
ming through it from which the lesser ir
rlgatlng ditcnes are filed. Besides fruit
bearing trees, there are hedges of roses and
thickets OF geraniums, paths bordered by
pansies and forget-me- nots, trellises
COVERED WITH CHOICEST GRAPES,
and arbors shaded with passion vines
Adjoining the garden is the galpon, or negro
quarters, collection of huts ranged around
central square, the whole surrounded bv
a high wall
The negroes appear to be as happy and
contented lot of people as one can find in
long days journey. Though no longer
slaves, their labor is still forced; and while
they receive little more than food, poor
clothing and poorer lodging, they are at
least sure Of that, of medical attendance
when Ill, and exemption from the taxes
that so Cypress those who undertake to be
independent. Early in the morning, before
going to work, all the women and girls re-
pair to the door of the chapel and chaut
