erty, for whenever there is revolution
which there Is about every timo tho
moon changes-the people that get tho
upper hand confiscate it. The plutocrat,
or would be plutocrat. has no earthly
show. He is looked upon but as some
thing good to eat. The only real privi-
lege he has is that of being allowed to
ripen before ho is dcvourcd.
The words law and order are shorn of
their magic here. You may do almost
anything but tackle the man that is too
strong or the host that is too many. If
you wish to enjoy tho acquaintance of
the active life of the country for any
considerable time, it is we'll to keen n
civil tongue, have your eye peeled and
let up on doing the town after dark
don tsuppose its population is much
over 5000. In general appearance it
suggests part of tho French quarter of
New Orleans. Tho houses are grouped
somewhat after tho same odd fashion
and painted us fancfully. Guitars tim
klo i'll the wineshops. In tho distance
the river shines. Beyond tho river is
the ocean, with its burden of ships.
Along the main street Mosquito In
dams struggle, Spaniards and French
men lounge and smoke and Americans
If they have not been in the country
long-bustle. Every ono lives in on
pectancy of the time when the cutting
OF the projected canal will commence.
Then things will boom, and money will
be made. From the Atlantic to tho Pa
clfic, as the crow flies, it is only Il dis.
lance OF % miles, and in the middle of
this is a lake 10 miles across. This
would bring down tho actual cutting to
~ miles. The real difficulty Of the M
dertaking is to cut through and fix up
the great sand bar OH the Atlantic side.
The Mosquito Indian is more intcll-
gent and better looking than tho Indian
of the United States He is slightly but
strongly built and ranges in weight all
the way from 115 to 80 pounds. He is
possessed OF great endurance and will
make 20 miles dry with q burden of
200 pounds for 10 consecutive days
They call tho Indians that travel with
burdens packers. They have taken the
place OF tho mules who in former days
used to carry tho packs. Their women
are quite comedy.
Ihcto Is much gold III the interior,
and there are great forests of rubber
trees, but provisions are so hard TO get
and so costly that it is next to impossi-
BILE to develop either resource On. there
$40 i'll gold is the price charged for 100
pounds of flour. Other ncccssaric3 are
proportionatcly dear. Tn sol, the dollar
of Nicaragua, is worth only 90 cents Of
United States money.
There is a great future in store for
this country. When the bonds are float
ing and the canal is in process of cut.
ting, things will boom and swing both
long and mcrrily. BART KENNEDY.
