THE ALTO PARA%H.

we leave UorrlenteS at 6 p m, and at
distance of eighteen miles reach the
Tres Bocas, the confluence of the Para
quay and Parana rivers. In broad day
light it is curious to observe the two
streams atthe point where long sandy
spit marks their junction. The waters
of the Parana are of dirty green color,
while those of the Paraguay are yellow
ish- brown, and for several miles the
two mighty streams flow parallel and
unmiXed, the meeting of the two being
marked by long line of foam forming,
as 1t were, a white cord stretching down
the middle of the river. and separating
the green waters from the brown
waters. The Parana makes a sharp
turn eastward, and under the name OF
Alto Parana may be followed on the
map up to about the nineteenth parallel
OF latitude, where it is formed by the
confluence of the two rivers Paranahyba
and Rio Grande. \ few leagues lower
down, the course of the stream is inter
rupted by the cataract of Urabupunga
From this point it runs sOuth-southwest
as far as the twenty-fourth parallel,
where it is again interrupted by the
cataract of Guayra. The region ira
versed thus far belongs to Brazil, and
was occupied by Jesuit reductions"
in the sixteenth century. Doubtless in
the more or less distant future, when
ways of communication have been Great
ed, all this fertile territory viii once
more be occupied. At the cataract of
Guayra the frontier of Paraguay begins,
and the river runs from north TO south,
bounding the republic. and then from
east TO west, until it joins the Paraguay,
as above described. The few travellers
who have seen the cataract of Guavra
describe the falls as being as fine as
those of Niagara, but unfortunately they
are still ia the midst of solitu5es TO
which access is difficult The Salto de
Victoria, some twenty miles from the
confluence OF the Y-Guazu ana the
Parara, is also said to be very magnifl-
cent, and somewhat easier OF access,
but as yet few travellers have seen il.

The new duty on American pork pro-
posed by the bill that has passed the
French chamber of deputies, but is still
before the senate, is higher than the
old one, but not by any means high
enough to be prohibitory. The former
duty was So francs per 100 Iilogrammeo;
the proposed new duty is 90 francs. A
hundred kilos are about 22O pounds,
and 20 francs are equal to So. SO of our
money. The duty will therefore be ex.
actly ~ cents per pound At this rate
our pork could certainly be shipped
