An Earthly 1'nrn.tllip.
Wo who live in tlio cold climate of
the north nnd witness the animating
nnd iUi\l .changes of the season , says
tv correspondent of the Chicngo News ,
writing from Sun Pedro Sulu , Hondu-
rns , huvo soinu very vnguo and spicy
ideas Of the tropics , anil panplo the im-
nginalion with languid and dreamy fan
cies of veritable lotusoatcrs.Vo are
stirred by a fascination for waving
palms , pinnated cocoas , luscious fruits ,
dark-eyed Castilians and an existence
us enchanting as that enjoyed in the
ancient gardens of the Hespcrldcs. And
while our pnssloimto fancies may huvo
thrown too much coloring into the pic
ture and marred its real beauties with
the deformities of exaggeration , it must
bo confessed that oven some of our
wildest fancies are fully realized 111
Central America.
Ono cannot truthfully dissipate these
glorious dreams of the tropics who has
visited and lived for uwhilo in the Sula
valley of Honduras , where our party is
at present stopping. Our voyage across
tlio quit was comparatively uneventful ,
and wo reached Bollxe on the evening
of our fourth day from Now Orleans.
This is the capital of British Honduras
and is beautifully situated behind a
Borlca of reefs and Islands and inter
sected by a small river of the sumo
niuno. The harbor IB an excellent one ,
and but for its shallowness near the city
would be considered one of the finest on
on the coast. The city receives Its
name from 'i famous freebooter , Walico
or Bailee , whoso piracies became iho
Bcourgo of this coast between 16UO-70.
But ho was finally displaced when the
valuable mahogany and dye woods of
this section attracted English attention.
THE LKQKN'l ) OF 1KII/.E. !
The historical and legendary account
of this city is just now receiving con
siderable attention in the colony as ono
of the sensations of the hour , when wo
arrived there , was the revival of the
excitement regarding fabulous buried
treasures of tlio old buccaneers on
TurnolTo , an immense island which lies
in front of the city. It will bo recalled
that an expedition was iittcd out somewhere -
where in the north lust year and fur
nished with a yacht and supulios , with
which they came down to ono of the
reefs on the coast to search for this
treasure. The party was led by A. G.
Tlorno and Thomas Pock , who came
hero , and , after digging for a consider
able time at Calabash Cay , the princi
pals foil out , and the work was
abandoned. Pock has since died , and
Homo returned last week and has just
negotiated with the colonial govern
ment for the privilege of making
further excavations. The compact has
just boon signed whereby her majesty's
province is to receive 10 per cqnt of the
Jind and Homo is to pay the expense of
n Ruard , who is to watch the interests
of the government. In addition , the
'owners of the land are to receive 10
per cent additional if the treasure is
found. Horne is si very quiet , intelli
gent gentleman , who does notseomto
have any of the elements of a crank
about him , though thoroughly imbued
with the idea that nearly $2.000,000 of
buried treasure lies untouched beneath
the tangled morass of TurnefTo. The
details of the matter wore very dillicult
to obtain , as Ilorr.o is very reticent , except -
copt in his declaration that ho pos
sesses exclusive information , and holds
the key to the whereabouts of this fab
ulous treasure of the old pirates. Many
theories and wild statements are natur
ally ulloai con corn in how and when
Horne came into possession of his secret
and there is considerable credence
placed in his ultimate success in find
ing the treasure.
The state of Belize was erected into a
colony In 1802ind since that time has
boon raoro or lefas a self-sustain in gprov-
inco. Ono of the chief industries of >
the city is its hide and cattle business ,
carried on within the state and with
Spanish Honduras. It also docs an ex
tensive trade in medical plants. Sarsaparilla -
parilla , sasafras , cochineal , gum urabio ,
quassia , and numerous gum trees
abound in this section. Its mahogany
cedar and . india rubber interests ,
though not so larco as formerly , play
no small part in its commerce , while
numerous dye woods and fancy woods
are exported in largo quantities. Bra
zil wood , sandal and snuko wood , rose
wood , and many other hundsomn speci
mens , so much prized for fancy wood
work , are found hero. The city has a
population of 7,000 souls , of which only
about two hundred and lifty are white ,
the remainder being composed of not
less than eight other nationalities.
WHUItlS COUTHLANDED. .
Wo spent about twelve hours at tills
port and again sailed for Puerto Corlcz.
This latter is the chief port of Spanish
Honduras on the Caribbean sea. It
enjoys the distinction of having been
the lirst landing made by the great and
heartless adventurer , whoso name it
still boars. It was founded about 1510 ,
and was first called Natividad. During
the reign of the viceroys it attained
considerable commercial importance.
In 1874 it was made the northern ter
minus of the Inter-Oceanic railway ,
but with the decline of that enterprise
fell into decay , until moro recent yearn ,
when it has once moro assumed its an
cient prominence , and is now the great
fruit depot for the United States mar
ket. Thp n'ppulation , consisting of
about oightinjijmdrod , is entirely Span
ish. The houses , like most of those
encountered in the interior , have
thntchod-grusa roofs on , many of moro
humble pretensions are made entirely
of grass or cuhoon loaves. The natives
do but little work , contenting them
selves with a small supply of plantains
and bananas , which they grow around
their huts , ana pass the greater portion
of their time in dreamy Inertness.
There are , of course , many respectable
exceptions to this rule , as attested by
some of the mugniflcant banana and
cpcounut plantations near tlio place ,
from which many of the Now Orleans
importers arc supplied. It was at this
port that our party first appreciated the
real luxury of sleeping in a hammock.
Ono lies down peacefully without the
annoying consciousness , as some might
suppose , of "savngo beasts and still moro
siivago men , " if not that lessor terror of
the night , the tropical mosquito. Wo
had heard much of this latter pest , but
ho did not materialize. They are com
mon enough in certain places , but con
centrated in disproportionate numbers.
Around the stagnant pools mid lagoons
tloy | copgrcgato in vast numbers , but
are snarsolyiwuttored elsewhere. The
chief annoyance , and the ono most to
bo droailed hero at night ( so wo are In
formed ) , it the vampire bat , whoso
blood-sucking propensities were related
to us in frightful details. . This cronturo
has been often known to Inviulo a ham
mock and take a tribute in the blood of
the unconscious slcopor. But wo linvo
not yet encountered himand shall pray
for complete exemption from his ac
quaintance.
A peculiar sort of individual is en
countered at Puerto Cortez , whoso
color , physiognomy , language , and en
tire demeanor marks him a distinct
ruco from those around him. Ho is the
Carib , whoso ebony hue , bushy hair ,
lint nose , and thick lips , at once strike
you us a pure African. But. his origin
from this latter race ' .8 denied. lie Is
rather shy in demeanor , possessing but
few if any of tlio traits of the other
people among whom ho livns. Rather
in contrast to other natives around
him , who are moro or less in
clined to indolence and laziness ,
ho is very thrifty and energetic , and ,
though ignorant , ho would seem to eon-
slltuto a very substantial element of
Spanish-American. Wo are informed
that they are ono of Iho most peaceful
elements on the coast , never taking any
part in the civil wars which have so
often agitated these republics. Their
favorite occupation is fishing and man
ufacturing boats , .ours , etc. , as most of
the little pltpans , dories and other
small craft sailing the sea to which
they have given their name are the
work of tholr hands. Their strange
tongue was for a long time unJlstin-
gulshablo , but of recent years it has
bnen carefully and earnestly studied ,
and ono missionary has undertaken the
laborious task of compiling a grammar.
It is undoubtedly ono of the mostdllll-
cult languages spoken in this country ,
and the labor of collecting its dillicult
phrases , disjointed terms , and strange
gibberish is by no means an easy taslt.
The city is very picturesquely located
at tlio head of the Sula valley. Upon
either side arc located spurs of the Cor
dilleras , rising abruptly from the sea
and running a zigzag course into the
interior. From its advantageous posi
tion it was selected as the northern ter
minus of the Intor-Oceanio railway ,
and the thirty-seven miles of the com
pleted portion of this road traverses
the heart of the valley and now termi
nates at San Pedro.
The history and many vlssltudos of
this road , the immense sums squandered
in its construction , tlio fruitless efforts
to revive its drooping stocks , and its
present dilapidated condition would (111 (
a volume of immense proportions and
oven a succinct resume would ( ill moro
space than we can now devote. In a
future letter I may have something to
say on the suojoct , as an effort is now
being made by New York railroad mag
nates to absorb the road.
After a brief stay at Puerto Cortez wo
took the railroad for San Pedro. Its
course through the Sula is bounded by
deep , shady verdure. The ground is
perfectly level and thickly carpeted
with dried loaves beaten flat to the
earth by the rains , through which thou
sands of delicate green sprigs and beau
tiful blossoms wore springing and loud-
ing the air with grateful orders. In
many places the road led through long
bowers , where the prolific tropical
vines looped together overhead the im
mense cahoon and mangono trees.
Amid this wild and romantic growth
fluttered and chattered the parrots aud
parroquots , while at intervals the harsh
scream of the macaw would bo hoard
from the top of some tall coacounut or
< rtmnncaste. There are several small
stations along the line of this little
narrow-gauge road , where we encoun
tered numerous types of the varied races
which constitute the population of Hon
duras. The custom of intermarriage
in voguobotween the whites , Spaniards ,
Indians , Mestizo's , and even the Caribs ,
while not universal in this section , has
boon so much practiced that it has loft
but few distinct races , and perhaps no
regular and uniform type of cizilization.
There is consequently encountered upon
every hand all shades and sizes of pee
ple , * speaking mostly the common lan
guage of the country * Despite these
inroads upon the original true CastilIan -
Ian blood , the stranger may meet al
most hourly pure Spanish beauties ,
whoso symmetrical forms , black lan-
qulshlngcvosnnd expressive faces fully
win runt Iho encomiums which have
been lavished upon them.
THi : CITY OK SAX 1'liDUO.
After a monotonous rim of seven
hours wo find ourselves at the small sta
tion of San Pedro Sola. It is situated
in the heart of the valley , with the tall
peaks of the Onoauml Juorlmlen moun
tains uiion either side , and Hanked by
the majestic streams of the Ullun and
Chomcbcon. Great forests of cocoa ,
mahogany and cedar trees spread out
in every direction , relieved hero and
there by colTco and batmnn estates sur
rounded by hedges of cacti.
The city of Sun Pedro was founded In
1530 by Alvurudo , ono of the Intrepid
generals of Cortoz. who performed the
llrnt wonderful march from Mexico into
this country. But little is known of its
curly history , though it came into
prominence in 1808 , when a large colony
of emigrants from Georgia and other
southern states located hero for -tho
purpose of raising cotton. It was
thought that the lloocy staple of the
south would find hero a prolific growth
in a soil of such wonderful richness.
But they discovered too Into that the
soil was unsulted to the cotton plant ,
which rather inclined to run to stalk
and branch out into a tree than to yield
the coveted fiber. After two unsuccess
ful years the colony became demoral
ized and most of them returned to the
states. The only one loft here of the
original number is Mr. William A.
Colomun , who wisely turned his
attention to sugar-plan ting , and
has been eminently successful.
His cstnto near the city is
ono of the largest in the department.
Sugar cane grows here without replant
ing for ton consecutive years. It is of
excellent nur.Uly. attains a remarkable
height , and is capable of being manu
factured into the best sugar known.
But the fruit business is perhaps the
leading industry of Sun Pedro at the
present time , as every train to the coast
is now laden with bananas , plantains ,
coacoanuts , mangers , limes , tamarinds ,
and other tropical fruits. The fruit in
dustry has increased tenfold in the lust
decade , and not less than four hundred
thuennd bunches of bananas alone are
shipped from Puerto Cortez every
month. Of this fruit industry , as well
as many others in Honduras , wo shall
have moro to say in a subsequent lot-
tor. Our next few days will bo busied
with preparations for our departure
into the wilds of Olancho and the ex
ploration of the great valley of the
Guayapo.
That hacking coug bean bo so quickly
cured by Shiloh's Cure. Wo guarantee
it. For sale by Goodman Drug Co.

A Tyrone ( Pa. ) correspondent of the
Rural Now Yorker assorts the potuto
has always been a sort of Proteus among
our crops. Ho says : It defies all at
tempts to lay down rules for is culture.
As far buck as the days of that first
agricultural editor , Arthur Young , who
had General Washington for a corre
spondent , we see the same inquiries
and the sunio dificroncos of opinion on
points of treatment that are found
to-day. A Montreal correspondent
spcako of sawdust as tending to induce
scab. Now , my accidental experience
last season was that the only quite clean
and smooth potatoes that I had in
heavy loam mulched , but without the
use of any fresh manure were where
sawdust , used us a mulch for raspberries ,
hud rolled into the furrow so that the
young potatoes were found bedded in it
under the soil covering. They wore so
so fair and handsome that , although the ,
result seemed quite unaccountable , I
resolved to make a special trial of a
sawdust bed for the tubers next year.
