There are in the Douglas poor Jioiiso now live of these veterans , who have no person to tend them except those in charge of the institution. It is presumed that many more soldiers are similarly situ ated throughout the state. The idea is one which many people think ought to be carried out , because it will beef of incalculable benefit to many a deserv ing man , especially as many other states have already established homes of tnis kind.

H occupies n wholn square.

The walls arc six fcot thick and of solid stone. The intcilor is heav ily arched. The Umbers arc ol wonder ful size , all 19 by 19 inches square , of Qurbiacha wood. They arc said to have come- from tlio Gran Chan , and each dragged in by 300 Indians. I'or one un acquainted with the roads of Bolivia it is impossible to appreciate the diflicultios that had lo bo o\crcomc.

It wis : u quiet all'nir. There was a parade bv a poorly drilled battnllion of infantry. The band , however , was really gootl. The soldiers wore satuHls and were armed with the old-style Pcabody-ftlutthii rille In the evening there was a puriormaneo atllui theater. The building was for merly a church , it has nuin.v arches and n .Mono lloor , tlie side aisles , being divided into two torii-s make two rows of boxes. It was about us primitive a hall as 1 ever -aw. The audience was democratic in the extreme. Some of the front boxes were filled with oflicers in lull dre- < , including white kids. The ladies were iuode t-lookiiig , but 1 failed to Hnd a pretty face certainly not a single intellectual one. First we had the national hymn of liolivia , played by the band and sung by the scholars of tlie college. J was told Unit they sting , for they were so frightened that you could not hear them. DIAMTir : AKT. Alter that there was a live-act Spanish tragedy. On each side oi the stage two soluiers were ported with miitkets. For hcatigcar they had grenadier-shaped hats only'much higher. I was told tittei wards that this was the idea of the colonel's to add eclat to tlio celebration. Ho had these liati picparcd of oiled paper and si lighted candle rigircd up in e"aeh to make a more bulliant effect. Unfortmiatcly ono of the candle ? fell over and burned half the hair ofl the poor wearer * * * head : so the candles were put out. After the second aet , on going out , I saw one of the sentries fast as'eep ' on the ground with his nti Ui-t between his legs. Alter the performance we went to tlie club , where I met the commander of the bat- trlion. Of course [ complimented him on the elHeieney of his troops and asked him when the drill would be repealed. "Any day and hour you may wibh , " he replied. Tint staggered me , c-'pec'ally as my friend assured me that he meant it. Theie is a lower belonging to the ruins of the .Ju.siut church still standing which I consider one of the gems of art in that country. The fact of ils remaining standing while the rest of tlio church lias passed away is looked upon as a miracle by the'people. It seemed strange to be in a town ot over ' , ' 5,1)00 ) pcopta without , u carriage or even a two-wheeled cart in the whole place. All the trafllcis done on animals Tins makes the town very quiet. Formerly Iho place is said to have had 1.10,000 in habitants. Imports come mostly by tlio way of the Argentine Republic , some bv the way of Autofogasta , and a little via Tacna. The trade of the town is almost entirely locaj.biit it promise to growonco tlie new mining company gets into lull operation. At present it omplovs about 100 men , nearly all Indians. * " ! hey are paid at tlio rate of $1 in silver per dav of twelve hours , but are kept in the mine twcntv-four humx , receiving two days' ' pay , In some mines the miners are kept for thirty-six hours , laying off the same length of time This applies only to In dians.

As 1 was now travel ing trom west to cast , tlio road was al ternately iip-and down-hill work , the chains of mountains running north and south. Al thn bottom of the last canyon ' 1 mot many people , mostly Indians , re turning trom the capital with bundles , evidently of purchased goods. Most of the Qulehoas had little guitars , which they kept twanglhg while walking along. Al this point the road widened and was well kept. Iloro I saw the first carnage 1 had soon for ninny days , it was a line four-m-hiind barouche. To own a car riage is a sign of wealth and gentility.

'I his city is lo cated on a plalcan U.SOO feet above the sea. Ju climate is very oven all the vuai round and iy considered the healthiest in liolivia. Sucre has a much more modern rtress than Potosl or any other town of IJolivia. The inhabitants are the wealth iest in the country. Partly owing to the fun ) climate , and partly because it ia con- Irallj located lor several leadimr mining and agricultural districts , Hues ot tele graph count el this place with hotii of said mines. Many residents of this place have bi-pii educated abroad , mostly in Franco , and the ladies dress most styl ishly. J saw a number of grand pianos hero , but hardly a decent Ml ore.

Tin The work was being carried on by Amer icans , without noise or fu-s. but will prove of great importance. The idea is new. In 1851 a Mr Aramayor Kent Hugo 1'eek , a very competent civil en gineer , to study and examine Lake Poopo and the De aguadero river , which connects with Lake Titicaca , lorm- ing a continuous waterway The plan was to connect Lake Poopo with thu port of Iquiquc by rail. The neces sary capital could not be raided , and the project wa abandoned One result of ills study i the excellent map of Mr. I'cek's of Central Hoiivia , the only cor rect authority-the so-called ollicial map of HoMyia , printed in the Uniled State * , being full of error * . In 1W4 some Ho- livian mine owners asked Messrs. Tiioru- dike and Hrttwn of the Alollende , Are- quipu & Piino railway companv to ask for a concession to extend their road to La Pax by way of Dcsaguadcro , at the head ot the river of like name. The project was to interests all the leading mining companies in the enterprise. The Huauchecha company , then the richest in Hoiivia , refused to join , pn-feiriiig to seek an outlet by wa.v ot Anto'iagasta. Later on , at the instigation of Messrs. Ar\e , L'aelieco and Pctol , a survey for a railway was made by Messrs. Tama.\o , Vinlas , Aranejbia and Henrytrom Oriiro to Arica. Owing to the estimated co = t of this route some $ , alOtlflOiM ( , ) it had to lie i.'iven up. Messrs. Thnrndikc and Hrown determined that the Ucsaguadero route wa-j the most feasible one. CANOi : AND MIIAJI LAI NC1I. Iii ISSt M. Hcaiimont , with a compan ion , started in a canoe drawing but four mces of water from De = amia < lero and and reached the hnad of Lake Poopo sak-ly. Ibis voyage was undei'takcu in July , and the success ot ihis expedition caused Mr. Thorndike to try the seme route. They started in a steam launch , but she drew three feet ami got aground and had to turn back. This led to the constinotion of a seventy-foot long stern- wheel iron steam launch. Jl has boon built at the railway shops at An-quipa and will bo taken on two Hut-ears , ar- r.niged for the purpose , to Puno and launched. With machinery and all sup plies on board she draws only ton inches. Her bow i.s strengthened with plates. She is intended to tun to Luke Poopo and is to be used to tow launches up and down the river. Once this route is thor oughly tested , the railway will be ex tended from Puno , thus saving two transshipments shipments- . Too much importance can not bo placed on this enterprise. The only obstacle is near the entrance of Lake Poopo. There a channel will have to be dredged out. Tills will give a veiy great imootus to the Very rich copper mines ot Corocoro and tlie deposits around Ortiro and make it the distribut- inn point for middle ttoliyia. It will , however , be a deathblow toTiilnii , which lias done much transient business of late years. _ P. HOISET AUK' YOU KKSTLUSS AT NIGHT , and harrasscd by a bad coughV Use Dr. J. II.
