A REAL PROGRESSIVE REPUBLIC.

One of the commercial wonders of the world is the
growth of the export trade of the Argentine Republic
That country has rushed its shipments of merchandise to
other countries by great leaps until they regularly
than double the imports The exports this year will
almost certainly exceed s2250O0,00O in gold. That is
they will be equal to Is of the exports of the
United States though the population of the Argentine is
not than per cent of the American total Rela
lively to the number Of inhabitants the Argentine beats
this country about two and half to in trade
Such facts show that at least two states of South
America may be counted that naturally rich
and wonderful continent from commercial discredit and
general insgnifcance.

Discussing this combat afterward, he

They reminded me. In fact, of a story that
Edwin Booth used to tell.
This story concerns two principals

harmlessly, were urged by their seconds
to shake hands. They were about to do
so, when bystander, who had looked on
