The CITY of Rio de Janeiro.

The current presumably of the Gulf
Stream, runs down the south Atlantic
from Cape st. Rogue in southwesterly
direction at the rate, il is said, of two
miles an hour. Such force of water
has of course in the lapse Of ages eaten
away all the soft, low-lying lands on
the continent by which it sweeps. and
given to South America that form which
we see on the map. Only the hard sub
stance Of the everlasting hills has been
able to resist this denudation; and ac
cordingly we see in Brazil, and more
particularly near Rio de Janeiro, the
mountains advancing to the very msrgin
Of the sea. Amidst those mountains,
entering obliquely from the ocean. lies
the bay-or what might more properly
be called the small inland sea-Of
Rio de Janeiro, which was naturally
enough mistaken for the mouth
of an enormous river by Its first
explorers and which spreads out to a
great extent at some distance from its
entrance, still. however following the
line Of the coast, and much impeded by
numerous islands That part which is
the famous harbor. of course. lies near
est to the ocean, from the fury of which
it is protected by several large, cOnical
islands, consisting each of one solid rock,
and buttressed on either hand by the
well-known land mark the Sugar. loaf,
twelve hundred feet high, and his small
er brother. These barriers passed, q
ship lies In harbor which may be four
or five miles wide, and probably ten or
fifteen long, and closely shut In by
mountains, which on the western side
that is, behind the town. rise to height
of some twenty. five hundred feet.
The town is therefore much crowded
for room; but after lying huddled in a
mass OF narrow and tortuous streets for
two or three centuries, it got out Of its
difficulties by boiling up at the edges
and running all over the hills, whore
the CONTINGENCIES with their gardens
still are, all the line between city and
suburb is scarcely di.cernible Few
people now live in the city proper, so
that Rio has become town of large,
roomy, picturesque houses, inst sepa-
