ASQUNCION , Paraguay , Dec. 17 , 18SS.
( Special Correspondence of The Bee. ) As-
cunclon Js In the very heart of South Amer
ica. It Is almost as far Inland In a. straight
line from aho Atlantic as Chicago , nnd the
distance I Uad to .travel on the rivers to
xcncli it is greater 'than ' from Oraaba to
New York. Within the last few months 1
liavo penetrated the basin of tlio ttlo de la
I'lnt.vto a distance ot more tihan 1,300 miles.
At Buenos Ayres I was almost 200 miles
tram the ecu , end In coming from there to
Ascunciou on the Parana and Paraguay
rivers I traveled l.llfi mill's. On the nrst
day out wo steamed by the mouth ot thn
Uruguay river In entering the Parana. Eight
hundred inllea further north wo came Into
the Paraguay river , upon which I traveled
more than 300 miles. The Paraguay is still
JiaylffuWo by small steamers for 1,400 miles
siorth of this point , and Just opposite It l
itho mouth of Wio Pllcomayo , which rises In
the Bolivian Andes , and In a tortuoug course
flows through 1,500 miles ' of unexplored
wilds before It empties Into the Paraguay.
The Parana Itself Is over 2,000 miles long ,
Jt rises In the mountains ot Brazil and flows
cv distance of moro than 1,200 miles before
lit swallows up the Paraguay at about 800
jnlles from Us mouth.
Tlio llnxlii of ilic 1'Iiito ,
The river system of the Plate , or of the
Ttlo de la Plata , as one of the most wonder ,
iul of the world. The- volume of the stream
da greater than that of the Mississippi. It
Is surpassed only by the Amazon. It drains
u basin moro than hair na big as the whole
United States ana ono which In fertllty of
poll and salubrity ot climate Is only sur-
yassed by the basin of the Mississippi. The
basin of the Plato is over 2,000 mllea long.
It Is bigger than the basin ot Iho Mississippi
nnd It la a. question whether It has not
jnoro cultivable territory. Upon It tens of
millions of cattle and sheep are pastured ,
nnd Its wheat Holds compete with ours in
the markets of Europe. It has the most cx-
tcnslvo plains of the globe and U Is a vast
expanse of fairly good land.
It la ft white man's country. The basin
of the Amazon 1s troplcul and malarious.
That of the Plato Is largely in the tcraper-
nto zone. Us northern parts are llko Louis
iana or Florida , and In tbo south the sum
mer cllmntfl Is as temperate as that of our
middle states.
It Is the Mississippi basin reversed , the
eourcn ot Its rivers belnc In the hot coun
ty , where there are coffee and sugar Undi
and rubber trees and its mouth , in the
rather cool lands of Urucuay and the Ar
gentine , noted for their fields of wheat and
corn
This vast basin Is formed In the shape of
a great horseshoe , with the opening toward
the Atlantic ; thn Andes and the strlo ot
highlands whk-h cross Brazil form ( ho
back and upper rim of the shoe , \\bllo the
slightly eloping plains of Patagonia bound
It on the south. In It are included the best
of the ATcentlne , all ot Uruguay and Para
guay and large portions of Brazil and Bo
livia. The meet of it has been built up by
the 'Parana ' or Illo de la Plata system and
today these rivers arc still at their creat
work of earth bulldine.
The Illo lie Lit I'liitn.
You sec this plainly in the Rio de la Plata
proper. It is moro a great bay ot liquid
mud than a rlv r. It la 120 miles wide at
the Atlantic and narrows down to twenty-
nine mllea at Buenos Ayres , which in 180
miles inland. The width at Montevideo Is
about slxty-flve miles. The Illo do la Plata
is so full ot silt or mud that It discolors
the Atlantic for many miles out at sea.
We noticed the change In the color of the
ocean long before we entered Its mouth
and the water seemed to grow thicker as
WB sailed to Buenos Ayres. The channel Is
fast filling up with a sandy mud and the
Eads jetty system is proposed. As it Is
now , the rivers bring down a quarter of i\ \
million tons ot mud a day nnd the sediment
Is so great that all the water used by Buenos
Ayres Is filtered by the city.
It took our steamer twelve hours to cros *
the Illo do la Plata to Montevideo and
from there to Buenos Ayres the rldo re
quired one night. At Buenos Ayres the
steamers land jou at the now docks and
passengers are not now taken ashore , as
formerly , In carts or on the backs of men.
The port of Buenos Ayres has In fact a *
fine dock * and quays as any city cf tlio
world. It baa within the last tea yearn
spent $30,000,000 $ gold upon their construw-
tlon and ocean steamers drawing seventeen
feet sail right into great walled tanks ,
along which the chief railroads have track * ;
so that the wool , grain , hides , sheep and
cattla can bo transferred directly from tlio
cars to Uio steamers which are to take thorn ,
to Europe. ,
Up tlio I'nraiin ,
It Is at these docks tliat you gat steamers
which carry you far up tha rivers into the
Interior. There are river boats of all kinds
lying at the wharves. Some have Just
como in loaded with oranges , wood , lilJce
and wool and others are just startlne out ,
There are sailing boats as well as steamers
and you soon appreciate tliat the interior
traflle of the South American continent is
enormous.
There ore two 'lines ' of steamers which
liavo a weekly service between Buenos
Ayres and Asuncion , F.O that you can take-
a ship for any of the ports twice a week.
There are steamers also which go regularly
every day or BO up the Uruguay for a dis
tance ot COO miles , and twice a month a
Brazilian steamer leaves for the province ot
Matte Grosfio , far In the Interior of Bra
zil , These ships carry you to Corumbla ,
where you change to a smaller steamer ,
and In twenty days from the tlmo ot leav
ing Buenos Ayres roach Cuvaba , the cap *
Ital ot Matte Grosse , 2,504 miles from
Buenos Ayrw aud 2,700 , miles from tbo At
lantic , Tbo Parana la navigable by steam
for more than 1,200 , miles , and were it not
for a strip ot fnlU and rapids along the east
ern edge ot southern Paraguay It could ho
navigated for many hundreds of 'miles fur
ther.
ther.The
The boats going up these rivers must
all draw not moru than ten feet , andthose
to 1ho upper ports cannot have moro than
from flvo to nine feet. Even then they are
llnble to bo grounded in the sand by law
water. . You frequently > oe statements that
ocean steamers cair go by the Parana far
into the interior of South America. This
la not true. Steamers ot sixteen feet can
go up the river as far as liosarlo , a dis
tance of 00 rallca from Buenos Ayres and
about COO miles fiom the Atlantic , but above
this ships would stick fast in the mud. As
H it , our steamer , the Saturno , which was
at the tlmo drawing only ten feet ot water ,
stopped at night again and again on our
tt-ay to Ascunclon for fear of the sand
banks' .
There is no good chart of the Parana.
The river often' changes Its course and It
Is always building up and -tearing down bars
and Islands within Its channel. The waters
carry so much mud that a snag will form
a bar and a wreck will soon build up an
Island. Ono of the largest islands in the
river near liosarlo was started by a sub
merged -hay burgo nnd further up the stream
there are hundreds of Islands the eoil ot
which has gathered about the water-logged
trees which hove floated down from the for
ests of Paraguay and Brazil.
Ten ThouHiuuI InlnnilM.
Put on the thinking cap of your imagina
tion nnd take a trip with mo up through
the thousand Islands of the Parana. You
may have seen the thousand islands of the
SU Lawrence. They are nothing In com
parison with the 10,000 Islands of this won
derful river. There are , indeed , so many
Islands that they have never been counted.
The river for hundreds of miles Is a great
inland sea , EO wide In places that among
the islands you cannot ECO tbo banks. Some
of 'tho ' Islands are covered with willows ,
feathery reeds line their shores and gnarly
trees Jiang down low nnd mirror themselves
in the water. Othcre further up the river
arc forest growti , Few are cultivated , al
though It has been said that there Is enough
good soil upon them to ralso food for all
Europe , and on a few there are cattle nnd
sheep.
Most of the Islands are great flelds of
grasa , and ofthese some ore not fixed but
floating , and they glide by our steamer down
the river almost aa fast as we utcain on our
way up it. Those floating Islands are called
camelots. They ore great masses of grass
weeds , and flowers which the rushing floods
have "torn " from their foundations and are
carrying down to the sea. Some are so firm
that they will support a man , and upon them
tigers , Jaguars and1 snakes are often carried
to the Islands about Buenos Ayrcs.
Just after leaving Buenos Ayrrs wo
steamed through the delta of the Parana.
This delta IE about twenty miles wide , nnd
It extends up the river as tar os Kosario , a.
distance of 300 miles. It is peppered with
Islands , omo ot which are covered with
forests of poach trees , and othora with
gardens kept by Italians to supply the mar
kets of Buenos Ayres , Many of the houses
are raised upon piles to bo out of the way
of the floods and the tides -when they
carry , as they sometimes do , great waves
In from the ocean.
At the entrance to the Parana we pass
the Island of Martin Gracla , the Gibraltar
ot the Itlver Plata , which once belonged to
Uruguay , but which now 4s the property of
the Argentine Republic. H has a naval
school and a fort upon It , the batteries of
which are worked by electricity. It Is ono
ot the historic points of the nio de la Plata ,
and aa we go by Jt wo retail the fact that
this sam . ( our was first made by the white
man who was the first to set foot upon the
eoll of the continent of North America.
Sebastian Cabot in 1526 plowed bis way
through this sarao labyrinth of islands , and
after a long voyage on the Parana reached
the Paraguay and sailed up It to a point
some distance b yond Asuncion.
Tlic StcnmerM of the I'liruuimj' .
If Sebastian Cabot could take a trip oa
the beaU which now call up the Paraguay
ho would think them moro wonderful than
anything be met with 'In his travels. Ills
voyage was made in a sailing boat. Ours
la in a comfortable steamer of $00 tons. It
took him months to tall up the river.Vo
make the trip In six days. Hla lights were
tallow dlpi , ours are Incandescent
lit by electric dynamos. The Saturno was
built in Glasgow and It Is ass comfortable
as the average passenger etoamor of the
great lakes or the Mississippi. The cabins
are good and the- dining room is like a par
lor. The faro is not expensive , $60 paying
for the round trip , or an averageof about
$5 gold per day.
The meals are good , but the Yankee- stomach
ach finds Jt bard to accustom Uselt to the
limes at which they are served. Theflrst. .
breakfast given on vessels is nothing but
three swallows ot coffee and a orust of
bread and butter. At 11 a. m. n real break
fast is * erved , and at 0 p. m. comes dinner.
Sandwiched between luncheon and bedtime
there Is tea at 3 p. m. and at 9 p. m. The
breakfast at 11 a , m. and the dinner ore
much the some. The breakfast begins with
soup and ends with fruit/ cheese and coffee.
As to the dinner well , hero is a sample
dinner bill of fare.
Ox Tall Soup.
Bologna Sausnjje with Potato Salad.
Puchero ( the meat that was cooked to
make the soup ) .
Fish.
Curried Chicken and nice.
Beefsteak and Potatoes.
Cheese , Qnava Jelly.
English Walnuts , Almonds and Raisins.
Oranges. Black Coffee.
The meals are much alike , but wo al
ways have ft variety as great as that abovr
stated. Two kinds of wlno are served with
breakfast and dinner without extra charge.
Dinner Is the chief event ot the day. The
passengers nil dreaa for It. The men put
on their black clothes and /lost ot the wo
men wear evcnlnR dresses.
( liiec'r li'ullotv I'uHNoiiKPm.
There IB bettor form In dressing among
the passengers than In manners. Bomo of
the men who wear kid gloves all day and
who put on black coats for dinner eat with
their knives and tuck their napkins In at
the collar as though they wore babies and
needed bibs. The toothpick Is universally
used between the courses. The men smoke
cigarettes through the meals and with their
coffee and I noticed that ono or two appar
ently very elegant women inndo no bones of
expectorating on the floor between tholr
biles. Ono old Argentine papa , who has two
pretty knife-eating daughters , drinks his
soU-boilcd eggs out Of a glass. He also pol
ishes bis plato with his napkin at every
course , But I don't blame him for that ,
as I do that myself , H Is a necessity on
the Parana. The most of our passengers
ore rich Argentines on tliolr way to Para
guay for the winter , They go there for the
season , as we go to Florida , to get away
from the cold. All speak Spanish , and ,
with the exception of ourselves , there nro
no English or Americans.
It U not long after reaching Buenos
Ayres before we come Into the great wheat
fields , Wo pasa Rosarlo , the second city of
the Argentine and Its greatest wheat port.
It U built on a bluff eighty feet above the
river so high that the masts of our steamer
are below tho'foundations ' of the housca. As
wo go by wo see ocean etoamors at tlio
wharves with irou chutes extending down
Into them.
Down i'ach cbuto a etrcam of wheat bags
Is galloping , the wheat flowing from the can *
directly into the holds of the ateaniera. But
I have already wrlttea of the wheat Indus
try , We see signs of It ever/whom ns we
go onward. Wi > rasa blK mills and huge
grain elevators and go by towns which owe
their existence to the wheat lU'lde. A
greater part of our way la between the
provinces of Santu Fe on the left and Kntro
KloB and Corrientes on the Tight. Santa Fo
wheat Is known all over the world. The
province- larger than New York and its
business Is wheat Talelnt. Kntro Itlos and
Corrlonte * are bounded on the east by the
Uruguay , being embraced by two of the meet
fortllo rivers oa the globe. Those provinces
are known as the Argentine Mesouotamla.
They are very rich and their soil Is of won
derful fertility. Each is of about the size
ot South Carolina. Bntre Rlos Is crowlqg
very fast. .It now has about 250.000 people ,
but upon its pastures 4,000,000 cows and
about 5,000,000 shcop are feeding : . This is
an average of twenty sheep and fifteen cows
for every man , woman and child in the
province , At flvo to the family this would
bo 106 sheep and seventy-five cows per
family. Bupposo wo had a Btate every fam
ily of whioh possessed. 100 sheep and sev-
enty-flye cows. It 'would-be ' the banner
state of the union. The stock , however , Is
not eaually divided and much of It Is In the
hands of largo holders.
The Soenery ot the I'aruiin.
The Parana. Is ono of the grandest rivers
ot the 'world. Its beauties Increase as you
travel up It and the calm , qulot picturesquo-
ness of Its surroundings grow upon you.
The sunsets are gorgeous , painting the
clouds In every color and shade of rosy pink
and rsd and often make a great golden can
opy over the dark blue parana. The morn
ing sun strikes the dew drops upon the
freah green flelds and feathery grasses and
gives you a shower of diamonds on an
emerald flold , whllo at night the heavens
and earth are lad In the gorgeous glories
ot the semi-tropics. You pick out the
Southern .Cross from among the stars and
wonder at the tropical brilliancy of the
Milky Way.
As you travel toward the equator the vcg-
o tat I on changes. The trees are larger , the
grasses moro luxuriant and the Islands have
great bunches of feathery green and ferny
bamboo. The country grows wilder. Now
you nco a white form Iiouso cut out of the
forest , and now stop at a little town con
sisting of thatched huts , one-story brick
buildings , reefed with red tiles , with al
ways a chutcli splra rising over the low
roofs. After three days' Journey you reach
Corrlentoa , and then leave the Parana for
tbo Rlvor Paraguay.
Itho Paraguay is not so wide as the
Parana. Between Corrientes and Asuncion ,
a dlstanco of between 200 and 300 miles , the
tanks are not wider , I judge , than thoseot
the Mississippi above St. 1/ouls , but tbo
waters are equally deep , The river seems
perfectly navigable. You oft n go so close
to the bonk that you can BOO the birds ot
brilliant plumage which Inhabit the woods ,
There are plenty of crocodiles , and you now
and then get a shot at ono as it scuds
through the water to swim out of the way of
the boat , TUiero Is good shooting. Flocks
of wild ducks rise from the bends of the
river and the Ipgoous at every few miles ,
and curious birds fly about the steamer.
Along the left bank of the river , In what Is
known as the Chacol1hcro is little else than
virgin forests and you are told that these
ara Inhabited by Jaguars and that you coula
not travel a nillo or EO back from the coast
without meeting tapirs , pecaryu , monkeys
and wild hogs. The Paraguay side Is also
wild save that bore and there you pass llt-
Uo towns , at some of which the ships atop
to load and unload freight. You now get
your flrst sight of nhe Paraguayan people , of
whom you meet more and more as you sail
onward , and finally come to anchor in the
Bay of Asuncion , at the wharves of the cap
ital of Paraguay ,

The HetHtiK Doctor nnil ilic TnUlnR
Lawyer MiiMnncUiiHrUM Iore.
The Brooklyn doctor has been visiting the
Detroit lawyer. They were college chums ,
relates the Free Press , and when thrown
together aga.lt ! they were the eamo Jolly pair
they had been nt Yale.
"Remember that bet I won of you ? "
laughed the doctor. "I'll never forget U.
You \\agorcd that the sun moved about the
earth from east 'to ' west. Took you In good ,
old man. Troubfe Is tliat you leaped before
you thought. I was always a lucky better.
Have the same mania for it yet. Not in a
sporting way , you know , but Just among
friends. Great Joke , wasn't it ? " nnd the
doctor laughed lend and loud. "Always said
you'd get even , but I'll see lhat you don't ,
chummlc. "
A little later tlio two were tarklnK about
the litigation over a big estate in Michigan ,
the doctor being acquainted with ono of the
principals interested.
"How much do you think 1 made out of
that case ? " asked the lawyer.
"A good , round sum. I'll warrant. "
"What would you say to a thousand ? "
"I'll bet fifty it was nearer ten thousand. "
and the doctor had the money on the- table
in n twinkling. H was' covered just as
quickly.
"Got you again , " tfiucklcd the doctor.
"Honest now , old man how much did you
got ? "
"Nothing1. I wasn't employed In that case
at all. "
The doctor look It very hard for an hour ,
and then grow more cheerful as ho laughed
ever the prospect of working a similar Joke
on a friend at home.
The lover ot quaint and curious volumes
of forgotten lore , reports Law Notea , can
derive considerable entertainment from an
examination of QuIncyVj Massachusetts Re
ports , which cover the period from 17C1 to
1772. On page 1C8 , under date of August
27 , 17C5 , the reporter gives a most touching
account of how , on the night before , an
Incensed mob destroyed the house of the
chief justice , Thomas Jlutchlnson , esq , H
seems that the chief Justice -was suspected
of promoting or encouraging "that elngular
and over memorable statute , * , tlio stamp act. "
The populace of Boston , on Iho night In
question , gathered In King street and after
wrecking and burning a few houses by way
of getting tliolr hand In , started to call on
the chief Justice , "who , not expecting them ,
was unattended by his friends , who might
have assisted or proved his Innocence. " On
tbo approach of "this rage-lntoxlcatod rab
ble" all the family retired In some con
fusion , except tbo worthy Judge and his
eldest daughter. The latter refused to leave
him and so , "with a tumult of passions
only to bo Imagined , lie took her In hie
arms and carried her to a place of safety ,
just before the incensed mob arrived. This
filial affection saved , 'tis more than" probable -
able , his life. " However , the "populace of
Boston" seems to have enjoyed itself , not
withstanding the hasty departure of the (
host , for "they beset the house on all sides
and soon destroyed everything of value. "
Next morning , so say a tbo reporter , his
honor came into court "clothed In a man
ner which would have excited compassion
from the hardest heart" and addressed the
court as follows ; "There not being a quorum
without me. I am obliged to appear. Some
apology Is necessary for my dress Indeed
I had no other. Destitute of everything
DO other shirt no other garment but what
t have on and not ono in lay whole fam
ily lo a better situation than injtclf , The
dUtress of a whole family around me , young
and tender infants hanging about me , Is
Infinitely more Insupportable than wliat I
feel for myself ; though I am obliged to
borrow part of this clothing. "
The annals of mob violence furnish no
running mate for this pathetic incident.
The chief justice of Massachubetts with
only ono shirt -a. borrowed shirt , n shirt
of which ho could not bo proud I Well
might the unhappy jurist exclaim : "I pray
God give us better heart ! "
