BUENos AYREs.
A. Interesting Letter on The Historic
City Of Brazil.

After eighty-seven perfect days at
sea. we anchored before Buenos Ayres
on the eighth of December. The glass
es were in great demand as we were
some ten or twelve miles away from
the city, and all wanted to have a
peep at the city of ''good airs" AT
that distance we could only distinguish
the dome of the cathedral and some
church spires, but I was much struck
by the absence of tall chimneys and
smoke, or anything that looked like a
factory.
A diminutive tug with most dis
tressed whistle came for as the next
day, and towed US into the Boca, the
mouth of the Riachuelo, which has
been dredged out so that ships can get
nearer the city to discharge. Seventy
years ago, when cargoes were dis
charged out in the river by means Of
lighters and big carts drawn by horses
half swimming, half walking-the
scheme for deepening the Boca was
laughed at as ridiculous, but it has
well repaid the city for the enormous
cost.
Buenos Ayres is a very live city and
does big business. Quantities oi
lumber and manufactured articles are
imported, and there is a heavy duty on
everything The customs officers are
apparently very vigilant, but the native
currency has a tendency to slip from
one hand into another, and in the
hand of customs officer, affects his
eyesight. Smuggling is common, and
people don't hesitate to speak of it. /
asked man if there was any duty on
hardware; he replied that he did not
know. That seemed very strange to
me as / knew him to be an importer of
small tools, but his next remark ex-
planned the situation; he said cit de-
pended on how the tools came in!'
The Boca is guarded by ramshackle
platform, on which four guns are
mounted with sentry in charge. He
walks up and down looking very for
lorn, because it is warm and he is
heavily dressed. He stops now and
again to rest his big sword, and to
look out over the river at the ships, or
up the Boca at the row boats, the
whistling tugs and shouting pilots.
The Boca is narrow and ships lie
three and four deep by the warves.
Incoming vessels have a tug at each
end to steer them, while the pilot rush
es frantically up and down the decks,

It's Curious.

It's curious kind o. weather when you
come to make it out;
One minute winds is blowin' all the
blossoms roundabout,
An supshine's jes' a-streamin' from the
blue and bending skies,
An dreamin' jes' a-dreamin', like the
light in woman's eyes!
But, jes' when all is lovely, an the
wind with music floats;
When the birds is maxim merry an
a-strainin' of their throats;
An the sunshine's like picnic in the
blossoms, pink and white,
A cyclone strikes the country an jes'
swallers all in sight!
It's curious kind O. weather-jes the
worst you ever felt;
You don't half git through freezin'
fore the order comes to melt!
An you can't quite say it's winter, an
you amt half sure it's spring;
So keep on with the whistlin' an thank
God for everything!

On Saturday next the so-called EVANS
Dispensary law will go into effect in South
Carolina. and that State will begin the ex-
pertinent OF carrying on the liquor business
to the exclusion OF private enterprise.
The plan Is this: A State Commissioners
who is. or Is supposed to be. total alb
stainer. is appointed by the Governor.
Subject to the rules OF the State Board Of
Control. the Commissioner is to buy all the
intoxicating liquor to DO peddled out by
the State. He can sell only to the county
dispensers. The liquors which he sells must
have been tested by the chemist Of the
South Carolina College aud found pure. He
Is to give the preference to tho product Of
South Carolina distillers and brewers. who
can sell to nobody in the State but him. It
seems to have been the intention OF the
Legislature that the State Board OF Control
should appoint county board of control
which should appoint the county dispens-
ers. but the language Of the act is not
clear. Provision is made for the appoint
ment OF "a county board OF control" to
which applicants for the place of county
dispenser must send In their petitions.

Brooklyn yachtsman has spoken slight
ingly OF the voyage OF the viking ship across
the Atlantic from Christinnia to Now York. In
his opinion. the voyage didn't amount to
much. and isn't u thing to blow about. and
could be made by anybody" This Brooklyn
ynchtsman's language is foolish The voyage
OF tho craft commanded by Capt ANDERSEN
was m ore than n novelty: 1t was q daring and
skilful piece Of navigation: it required both
spunk and seamanship: 1t was perilous. All
tho men aboard deserve credit They endured
hardshps. braved dangers. and showed that
they possessed tho hnrdihood md tho pluck OF
the Norsemen OF old. We doubt whether tho
Brooklyn yachtsman would have spoken ms he
did. II he had seen tho viking ship whilo she
lay here or boarded her. She Is very small
anil OF peculiar shape. aud not easily handled
In gale. II he believes anybody could do
what ANDERSEN did with her. we wish he haG n
chance to try to do it. There is n good deal OF
room on the ocean between Brook i'm ard
Christiania. We like to see frisky voyager;
there is merrment sometimes in breasting

The Canadian Liberal Programme.

At their recent convention the Canadian
Liberals made reciprocity with the United
States the principal feature OF their party
programme. In the canvass preceding the
next general election thcy will promise the
people Of the Dominion that. IL raised to
power at Ottawa. they will propose to our
Government n treaty providing. not for I'M
restricted reciprocity, but for the free
Interchange OF natural products. and. also.
for tho admission to Canadian markets of
certain American manufactures to DO here
after specified. This qualification OF the
former project Of complete commercial
union Is made for tho purpose OF weakening
the opposition OF Canadian manufacturers
by assuring to some Of them protection
against American competitors.
Z Intelligent Americans. familiar with the
past relations OF the United States and
Canada do not regard the Liberals OF the
Dominion with the distrust with which we
have good reason to view their Conserva-
tive opponents. 1t is not they who try to
keep alive old antipathies by commemorate
ing rogrettable incidents In former wars. 1t
is not they who have endeavored to dis
criminate against American shippers in the
matter of tolls on Canadian canals. 1t is
advantage possessed by the Canadian
Pacific Railway over rival American roads.
owing to its exemption from our Inter-
State Railroad law. and to its privilege OF
transporting goods in bond through Can
ada from one part OF the United States to
another. Neither have we any doubt that
many OF the Canadian Liberals are
annexationists at heart. and that they
honestly believe that large Install
ment OF reciprocity would be step
toward continental union. Could they
persuade sensible Americans that their be-
lief is well founded. they might prevail on
us to enter into one-slded bargain; to
throw open market OF 65.OO0.OOO customers
In return for access to one OF 5000, 900. and
to subject our farmers. lumbermen, fisher
men. miners, and manufacturers to sharp
competition with Canadisn producers. who.
on their part. would be burdened with none
OF our responsibilities. Even this we might
consent to do. could the Canadian Liberals
demonstrate that treaty of reciprocity
would naturally. quickly. and inevitably
lead TO one OF the most majestic and preg-
nant OF conceivable events, the union OF al
most the whole OF North America under one
republican government.
But this can never be demonstrated by
our Liberal friends in Canada. On the con-
trary. the teachings of common sense and
Z the lessons Of history point to very differ
emit conclusion. The Liberals themselves
acknowledged In their convention that
their sole ground for hope OF beating the
Conservatives at the next general election,

ple. oTtrg tn their pros"nt n!mcr+ co",?lotc
