BETWEEN LA 6CAYIA AND CARACAS.
twenty years his pet pueblo thriyed beyond all
precedent until it became the most prosperous
In the colony-of greater Importance even than
the capital-and enjoyed universal privileges
OF self-government bestowed by the Spanish
cabinet But when Losadas day done and
stranger governor came over from Spain,
LUZ dc Rojas by name. a tyrant whose many
bad deeds have caused any good ones he may
have done to be quite forgotten, his first act
was to cut off all the olden privileges Of Cara
valleda. Among other obnoxious innovations
Roias arroGated to himself the power to APP
point its jefe politico, alcaidi and other local
officials. and clapped into prison every citizen
who dared to protest. In due time the foreign
magistrates came in state to Caravalleda-but
they found not soul to rule over. Rather than
yield their rights to the will of the dictator the
citizens had abandoned their homes and fields
and various avocations and hastily removed to
other portions of the coast. This made mat
tiers extremely inconvenient for his Dictator
ship, for in those days Caravalleda the only
port of entry for Caracas, and tho deserted
city soon fell into ruins. However, Rojas'
regime was short. His successor in power en-
deavored to persuade the people to return, but
In vain, and finally the site OF La Guayra was
fixed upon as sort of compromise between
the government and the indictments.
THE DAYS OF THE PIRATES
In the days Of the buccaneers. when pirate
kings were forever cruising the Spanish main,
La Guayra seems to have been a favorite fight
ing place, for gaileons came here to load up
with treasures on their way from Carthagenia
to Spain. Upon a high bluff overhanging the
town Is long, low rambling castle which
served FOR many years as a residence for tho
captains general of the Spanish colonies.

La Guayra owes its origin to an accident. or.

the early Spanish governor who founded Ca

A wAYsIDE SHRINE.

Report has it haunted by q lively company of
ghosts OF both sexes and many nationalities
and all manner of romantic traditions are rife
concerning it. Those who have read the Rev
Charles Kingley's Incompatible novel called
Westward Ho" (and who has mott will be
interested to learn that in this very casa the
Rose Of Devon dwelt with her Spanish lover.
and here she was found by Frank and Aymas
Leigh. The author states that 1.-The castle
stood under the shadow Of a gloomy-looking
fortress" The latter, which looks more like a
gigantic mud wasps nest clinging to the dark
red rocks, is now in ruins. and tine four-mile-
long tunnel, which formerly connected the two
by an underground passage. has mostly caved
in. The ancient abode OF love and tragedy OF
Spanish knights and captive maidens is now
adays utilized as the headquarters Of the great
American house of Boulton, Bliss & Dallett
who control Venezuela's coffee trade and send
a ship load of that commodity every ten days
from this port to New York.
BULL FI6Hr1Na STILL LIVES.
La Guayra is also celebrated as one Of the
very few places in South America where bull
fighting is yet carried on near the close Of this
nineteenth century. The other places are Mon
tevideo, Bentos and Lima. and in each the bull
ring Is used only once or twice year, when
some strolling company of fighters happen to
come this way between Cuba and Spain. La
Guayra has neat little plaza filled with dwarf
trees and HOVER beds iuciosed within en- Ameri-
can iron fence. In the center stands bronze
equestrian statue of Guzman Blanco, raised
upon pedestal of white marble. 1t is said to
be very good likeness OF the late dictator
president, and was erected by himself in 1880
at great expense, but at the cost of the govern
ment. On the sides OF the pedestal are en-
bematic tablets in bronze. and at each corner
stand huge bronze candelabra. President
Blanco was a self-made man and one who evil
IDENTIFY worships bis maker, for in every town
and city in Venezuela is at least one statue of
him, and in several of the cities are two and

Glorious OctOhefa

Glorious, golden days of October!
Too soon, alas! to fade away. Days
when the mellow SUN shines down
with fikering, fancitul light between
the leaves, sending, now here, now
there,a patch of. dimpled light or
changing back to darker tints as the
wind sways and rustles the branches.
Far away the hills are lying like a
faint ridge of misty blue, fading
away at the farther edge till scarce
ly discernible from the pale high
sky. Across the fields, now shorn
of their treasurer, tiny, bright-wing-
ed birds fly, darting down among
the stubble to peck with their little
beaks at the unsuspecting cricket,
chirping so cheerily in his home in
the warm brown earth. Out in the
orchards the trees SO lately laden
with snowy blossoms, hang fall of
purple and golden fruit, with here
and there q red cheek showing
brightly, tempting one like Eve of
old to eat. A restful time, full OF
peace aud quietness. Few city.:peo-
pie know the beauty of the world
in October, hurrying homo with the
first cool breeze they miss the glori-
ous warm tones of crimson, gold
and brown, as the sharp breath of
the wind sweeps down from its dis
tant home and kisses the poping
leaves; the deep red sumac in clus-
terins bunches peeps ont between
the fences and the yellow crest Of
the golden rod waves proudly from
every hillside.-Ex.

What We Can Exhibit at Chicago.

We have been asked: "What
can Arkansas exhibit at the Col
umblan Worlds Fair?" She ous ht
to exhibit any and everything that
will induce immigration and bring
capital to the State. -.
She should exhibit first of all
her agricultural products, consist
ing of grasses, grains, fruits, tex
tile fibres and such vegetables us
can be preserved. Sho should ex-
hibit her timbers, out in attractive
form such as are used in building
cabinet work, farm and other i'm
plements. She should exhibit her
minerals, metallic and sunmetalic.
The above are the natural resources
that she has in such abundance,
and of quality that no other
State can compete with. In
archaeology the state is rich beyond
comparison. The relief map DR..
Branner is preparing is to give
a correct idea of the topography
of the State, dispelling the gener-
ally conceived opinion that Arkan-
sas is swamp. The common
school system of Arkansas ranks
with the older States, as can be
shown by State Superintendent
Shinn. As tor the ladies and
and what they can do in fine arts,
literature and household affairs,
they are second to no other ladies in
the land.
We can make an exhibit at
Chicago that every resident of the
State can poiut to with pride; but
