On account of the size of the two South
American governments which have really
engaged in war, though the official dec
larations may not be so plain, there are
efforts to make the results Of the battles
appear in a humorous light; and, perhaps.
when compared with the conflicts of mighty
nations, they are of small Importance, but

that he works annually 800 days The
