Paraguay Is not great way ahead
And away up here, hundreds OF miles
from nowhere" In the remote interior
OF an apparently unoccupied territory
one Is astonished TO find crowd OF
vessels from every country IN Europe,
anchored IN front OF Corrientes-for
this city, like Rosario far below, IL a
port Of entry and enjoys a great deal
OF foreign commerce, We observe that
ships from England and Germany are
especially numerous, and that there "
not one from the United States, and
are told that the foreign trade of these
PARTS Is quite monopollzed by the Eng
lish and Germany merchants, who have
been long established in Corrientes,
Viewed from the harbor, Corrientes
appears rather impressiYe--the Moorish
tower of It's cabldo In front, flanked
by two massive and ancient churches,
half a dozen tall tanneries and leather
manufactures near the landing and
the sloplng, dark brown roofs OF the
houses--a very unusual thing IN South
America, where nearly all the house
tops are fiat and covered with red tiles
and, most singular feature OF all, a
queer looking column, like n miniature
Cleopatra's needle, standing quite by
Itself q mile cast Of the tower near
the river bank. Ashore, we discovered
that the quaint brown roofs are the

houses, in whose cool shade hammocks
are hung, the tables are spread, the
cooking Is done lover charcoal pots, as

routine Of family life goes on. The
numerous tannerles and leather manu-
factories are explained by the fact that
nearly all the exports from this point
are hides dry and wet, and leather In
some form. As for the "columna"

manlfestly pitied our Ignorance when
we inquired what It meant II you
have never heard of The miracle con-
nected with the origin Of Corrlentes you

way In the year 1855, when Don Juan
Torres de Vera Arragon was governor
Of Paraguay, he sent his young brother,
Alonzo dc Vera, with 2s soldiers, from
Asunolon to found another city IN some
advantageous position lower down the
river Don Alonzo selected the site of
Corrientes, and on the Bird Of April in
the year above mentioned, he climbed
the high, steep bank with his handful
OF flowers. According to the invariable
custom of the pious frauds of those
days the first thing the Spanards did
before laying violent hands upon the
property Of others, was to erect high

cross, not only as symbol OF the faith
within them but as a signal that they
had taken possession OF the country
in the name OF the Spanish sovereign
and san Jago, patron OF Spain, and all
the saints In the calendar. AT that time
this section was Inhabited by the Guar
ants, a warlike tribe, numerous as the
sands on the shore They knew, from
the sad experience OF their bretheren
who We're suffering In bondage IN Para
quay, how dreadful was the tyranny
of the white man; and, naturally at
sight OF the hated usurpers, they pre-
pared for desperate resistance. Having
set up their cross at the entrance 20 a
wooden pnlisading built for defense,
the pale-faces mustered behind It's
against 6,000 dusky warriors. The lat
ter poured n deadly shower Of arrows
upon the little band, who found the
frail barrloade OF branches and bram-
bles but Indifferent protection. Before
returning the assault with their argue
buses, the Spanlards, as usual, knelt
ut the foot OF the cross and offered
feryent prayer In loud voices. The In
dians, hearing the earnest cries TO
heaven and observing the TO them
strange movements OF those who were
on their knees, believed that the mystic
symbol contained some charm which
would protect the foe az long as II
stood intact. Therefore they turned
their attention 20 destroying this SYM
Dol, piing dry branches and grass
around Il and setting fire to the heap
amid savage yelling and dancing.
For more than an hour the mass
ilaned up, communicating itself TO
the palasade and adjacent tree; but
when all the combustable material
within reach was exhausted, great was
their surprise TO And the sacred SYM

apply new fire, but when the first In
dian approached TO stir up the smolder-

a mark Of displeasure from the white
