In the pride OF its bustling, hurry
ing progress this country has been
wont to look upon Central America
as 4 congeries of unimportant. insig
nificant Latin American states. chiefly
devoted to the cultivation of wars and
revolutions and scarcely worthy OF a
great nations consideration. With the
increasing probability of the great ship
canal, which is to connect the Allan
tic and Pacific, one of these hitherto
insignificant states becomes of the
greatest significance. and the eyes of
America are turned to one of the most
beautiful and easeful countries in the
world; region where life is so joy
ously worth living that its earliest
civilized discoverers. finding barbar-
ism more soft and generous and ap-
pealing than their own civilization,
called the Nicaragua of the inhabi-
tants, 'Mahomets paradise"

aboriginal city. which occupied the

characterized by the black alluvial soil

are far between, though the fertility
Of the land is SO great when once
