One of the circuit court judges Of that
city passed 800 applications for citiSsnship

Australia is greatly perturbsd over the
emigration movement to Paraguay. The
government Of Paraguay has given nearly
500, 600 acres of good land for settlement
to Australian colonists, or others of suit
able standing In means and character who
join them, and there Is an expectation that
10000 persons may settle on the lands.
All who go from old to new Australia are

the American hay, and 1t brings good
prices In England and on the continent.

exploits was his riding across Argentina.
One day his attention was drawn to fis-
ure lying on the roadside some miles from
Santiago, under the shelter of rude hot

tanned assistance, had the PROSTATE man
carried to his own rooms, and practically
nursed him into oonvslescence and event
ui recovery. After some months of
friendly intercourse and companionship
the two separated, and probably never
thought to meet again. Many years passed,
SO many that the majority of men had
