| SANTIAGO DE CHILE, June |, 1891. Few
| cities can boast of more delightful climate,
finer situation, or grander scenery than this
Though barely eighteen hundred feet above

| escape excessive heat, yet not 50 distant ns to

a great green valley, the mighty Andes that

| bulWarks in dazzling contrast to the ciuu,,.c>S
| blue above, the Giving green" below, and the
| golden sunshine that envelopes all as with
garment. From every street and balcony the
most glorious views may be obtained Of
mountains towering above mountains. with
such rosy tints upon them at sunrise AMI eyt-
ming shades of AMETHYST darkening to purple,

The country Immediately surrounding the
Capital is made up of small estates, with hand
some villas upon them, belonging to wealthy
families who have the good taste to for~ake the
city's glare in the summertime for few
months of rural living. Many of these subur-
ban casas are fitted up in style Of elegance
rarely surpassed in similar residences OF Eu-
rope or the United States.
