REPUBLICS ONLY IN NAME.
Latin-American Countries Are eoverpe,
 Upon DespotIc Llne..

Only in name does republieanism exist in the countries of South Am. erica, 7 says a southern business man who recently returned from a tour of the Latin-American countries. "Tbe Latin republics are the worst apologies for republics in the entire calendar of free states. Affairs in these republics are becoming better of late, but if is the simplest thing in the world to pro- yoke a revolution, We are all familiar with the changes of government that nave taken place within the last de- eade, but few understand how easy if has been, and still is in some of these republics, to precipftate a rebellion. turn a ruler out of office. upset q gov. ernment, and create general anarchy. was in one of these republics some years ago, when revolution. Or rather an attempt at revolution, occurred. for 1t was Dot a genuine success. was. with friend, about to go to breakfast when a party of about twenty men ap- peafed ln the street along which wa were passing. About the same number of men came into sight from an ons posite direction and the fun began. Every man had 3 cloak aver his shoul. ders, though the weather was oDDres- siyely warm, ana when they sighted each other the cloaks were thrown aside end more brass medals, rainbowa tinted ribbons, red sashes and other gorgeous insignia Of something or otbz CT l never saw. They began firing at each other, and soon the street was filed with 2 multitude of troops and about an equal number of revolution. ists. The government troops dispersed the rebels on this occasion, and when we left in the afternoon for our respec. tive locations, the same national Hage that were flying at sunrise were SUE hanging at their ssaffs. It was on this occasion bloodless and futile revolu. tion, and people went about their bust. ness on the next day with the same eomposure and contempt for one party or the other as they had on the day before the opera boufe rebellion.

PIPES oFapEAER.
Those Made of Blosd-Red stone fes4
 Esteemed by Indians.

Esteened by Indians.
 Nearly every Indian tribe has some interesting legend connected with the blood-red stone of the Pipestone quar- ries of Minnesota One tale is that long ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes and Sioux. the braYest of their respee- tive tribes. met in conflict here. They fought all day. from early morn antif set of sun. until the chieftain of one band was slain. Some of the warriors escaped, and some were made eaptiyes Among the eaptixes was the ehieftains daughter Being very brave and fair. she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spoiis. Refusing. how ever, to become his bride, she was doomed to the stake. In dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays to her people far away. and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with Ter blood. Catlin, the famed eN plorer of Isdian country, was the first white man to visit this locality. Att traeted by the Indian tales he had heard in the summer of 1836, in com- pany with young English gentleman and his t4Usty Indian guide, he started on horseback from St. Anthony's Falls to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long 3eld the place in superstitious estimation and also that it has been the resort of d4E. ferent tribes. who have made their regular pilgrimage there 10 renew their pipes It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, independent of the fact that il is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents a pipe Of IL he gives it as something from the Great Spirit, and some of the tribes nave tradi ion that the red men were all created from the red stone and that II is thereby q part of their flesh such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that wo had great diff ncqlty in approaching it, being stopped ey several hundred of them, who or. eefed us back and threatened us very hafd, saying that no white man had ever seen 1t and that none should
