From the paper on "Paraguay and the Lopez Family," written before the death of Lopez, we make this quotation: In 1814, by means of machinations and in trigues, Dr. Francia was elected First Consul of Paraguay for one year, at the end of whioh term he executed a coup d'etat worthy of some rulers of the present day, which procured his election by a Congress, of his own appoint ment as Supreme Dictator for three years, and finally for life. By hia persecutions of his real or pretended enemies he either murdered or imprisoned most of the principal inhabitants, and by his system of interdicting commerce and iso lating the State he ruined the country; so that, whilst during the Spanish rule the re venue derived from imports, exports, etc., amounted to three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars, being more than suffi cient to meet the requirements of the Gov ernment, it fell during his reign almost to zero; and, as his expenses were over five hun dred and eighty thousand dollars per annum, he was obliged to raise this sum by fines, con fiscation, and oppressive taxation, whioh the impoverished people were in no condition to pay. Never m the history of mankind has a despotism more complete and irre sponsible existed: it rivalled, if it did not surpass, that of the King of Da homey. The prisons were crowded to suffocation, and the executioner was weary of his task, ; whilst the system of espionage was so all-pervading that the dearest friends and nearest relatives feared each other, and no man knew that his own brother would not denounce him. AmoLb"' the victima of Francia was his own brother; nt his death, which took tolace in 1840. between 'even and elobi hun dred prisoners were found id the dungeons of Asuncion alone, many of whom had been incarcerated for more than twenty years, without having ever been informed of the cause of their arrest. Carlos Antonio Lopez, a nephew of Francia, after having successfully strug gled with his political opponents, placed himself at the head of the soldiery, and by their aid was nominated Consul in 1841, vra a colleague; but in 1844, by a coup d'e ne disembarrassed himself of his a8so'0la(.e 'aQ(j reigned as Supremo till the d yf j8 jeatn The dome government' of Lopez I is penned as being as strong as that of Fran tia, though he is represented as being more liberal to foreigners; but this assertion must be taken for what it is wortn, as, in spue oi a oreat narade of proclamations and treaties declaring Paraguay open to the world, Neem bucu, a little town twenty leagues above Cor rientes, was in 1852, eleven years after bis election, the only place where for eigners were permitted to resort; and Colonel Graham, United States Consul at Bueno3 Ayres, on an official mission to Paraguay, was himself detained there twenty days before obtaining permission to proceed to Asuncion, And as recently as 1855, Captain T. J. Page, sent out in the United States steamer Water witch to survey the La Plata and its tribu taries, whilst peacefully prosecuting his voyage up the Parana, was fired into from Fort Itaparu, having one man killed; and it was not till 1859, when a United States fleet of twenty-one vessels arrived in the river Plata, that he was enabled to continue his surveys. Lopez gave to Paraguay a constitution pro viding for the election of a senate, which met at irregular intervals, and only to ratify the decrees of the Dictator, who held both the executive and legislative powers in his own hands; and also provided for the appoint ment of a successor by a sealed will, to be opened after his death. Such were the traditions and such was the Government of Paraguay, when, on the 10th of September, 1802, his son, Francisco Solano Lopez, in accordance with his father's will, assumed, without opposition, the dicta torial power, thus forming the seoond link in that curious anomaly, an hereditary presi dency of a republic The title of President is still retained for form's sake, but Lopez is in reality an auto crat, possessing unlimited power over the lives and property of his subjects, without appeal to any court of law. Senor Sarmiento, the President of the Argentine ltepublic, so well known both in this country and in Europe as an ardent patriot, a profound statesman, the most indefatigable promoter of education, and finally as a man possessing trulv enlightened and American views of republicanism, describes Para euav as a "plantation, with a million of Indians instead of negroes, who consider themselves the property of the Lopez family;" and he adds: "The triumph of Lopez means the extension to Uruguay and the Argentine Republic of the Guarani Indian despotism, under a master who is dio tator, pope, supreme judge, and lord of life and property imposing upon all those coun tries that obedience unparalleled in the hia tory of the human race." ; From Guesses and Queriet we take the following: If good living contributes to long life, as bevond all doubt it does, have we not in the converse of the proposition a key unlocking the secret of the low average of human life in ther United States ? We are below Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Prussia, Austria, and Italy in the average age or our people. Ia it not because we live upon worse food, violate more laws of hygiene, and suffer intenser penalties than they ? Ged sends us meat, and the devil sends us cooks. Oat of our large cities, what hotel-keeper ever prepares himself by education or training for his business t inrouguout our larui-uousea, It la stated that Lopei has already made a will in favor of his illegitimate sou by hi. mUireyn, well known in fcouth America uurter the name of Madam Lynch. She was prt-seut at the battles of La Loiua Vak-btiuu, sud leifcived Ihrte wouinU, whilst her rem. eL".d jourtttii, mvlfour borne killed unJr him. who knows the secret cf good bread or light pantry, of a perfectly-boiled petato, or of a joint of meat done to a turn ? Though the art of cooking is really the oldest art with which man has made himself familiar, and though gastronomy has formed in all ages of -the world a subject of experiment, it is toally a serious question whether we in the Uaited States conduct the mysteries of the kitchen in a thoroughly creditable manner. Dees .not the general health suffer? Are not tte doors of our physicians besieged by armies of dyspeptics ? Is not the domestic hearth, tbateacred shrine of home joys, eclipsed by the restaurant, owing to the neglect of the arts which subserve the pleasure of the palate? Does anybody m America know tow to cook a potato? I mean so that it shall be a potato after it is cooked cot mashed into a soup not broken to shreds outside and hard as a stone within not beiled or steamed into a nondescript lump; but a potato, with a potato's flavor, a potato's substance, pleasant to see and appe tizing to eat ? When a cook was lately wanted for a London club a number of candidates were appointed to a trial of skill in boiling a Eotato. Any person who in the course of nis fe has ever eaten a properly-cooked potato would like to know the artist who bore away the palm. Take, for example, the men who dine at eating houses in New York and in Paris say artisans, clerks, and handicraftsmen in good employ. One of the former, between 1 and 2 o clock, walks into a restaurant, calls for a plate of meat and vegetables, a slice of bread, a glass of water or ale, and finishes with a modicum of pudding or pie, for all of which he pays fifty cents. The latter resorts to the restaurateur's at the same hour. Oat of ten kinds of soup named on the carte he selects one, exquisite to the taste and provocative to the appetite; then from the fist ,qf twenty dishes of fish and meat he also selects one, and perhaps anether; then from the ,entre- fimiio 4Vin L 1 """i mo gauic, tucu pantry or cueene, and bread ad libitum; to all which is added a half bottle of light wine; and he has to dis burse less than the former, for he pays but twenty-five sous. Will not the French work man enjoy his dinner more, work with better will, and live longer ? uomparinff the eatincr habits of dwellers in the rural districts in both countries, the difference is still greater. Through ignorance we waste inii nau our animal rood. . a uel to us is cheap to him dear. Our wages are twice as great as his. Our kitchen utensils. home conveniences, crockery, cutlery, and napery are far beyond his highest expecta tions. And yet from his pot-au-feu, rarely boiling, but simmering all day, into which he has cast whatever his funds will fur nish or his patch of ground supply, he ladles from time to time a bowl of pot tage, at the taste of which the most ac complished gastronome who dines dailv at Delmonico's would lift his brows with rap ture. Our farmers and laborers, far better. to-do, produce nothing of the kind, nor will they !?.nt" they stop "eating to live," and adopt the nour rule "of ing," in part at least, "to eat." . "HARPER'S."

Seaver; "Editor's Easy Chair;" "Editor's Literary Record;" "Editor's Scientific Record;" "Edi tor's Historical Record;" "Editor's Drawer." From Mr. Browne's "Jottings and Jour neyings in Spain" we take the following about Spanish etiquette: ' As respects manners, the Spaniards deem themselves the politest people on the planet, of which they think Spain much the best and by far the most Important part, it manners do not make the man on the Peninsula, they go far towards insuring his comfort or its op posite. The natives are certainly managed by manners. Any departure from civility, - , , . a a i ? a novever small, is always reaeniea, buu strict observation of it attended with remunerative results. One of their proverbs, "Politeness eets what money can t purchase, experience has often taught me the truth of. The Spaniards, naturally courteous, expect cour tesy from others, and appreciate it to the fullest. When you travel, never ngnt a cigar or cigarette without offering one to those in tne same carriage, lney won t taite it unless urged; but it is the custom of the country; it shows you are a man of the world and of good breeding. A bpaniard always refuses once that is etiquettend you must do likewise; but when he is invited a second time he accepts. At a cafe, or restaurant, if you order coffee, chocolate, or wine, breakfast or dinner, ami there are persons at the same table, invite them to join you. It will cost you nothing, for they won't do it; but the invitation will advance you in their estima tion. Lifting the hat when entering the presence of others is more imperative in Spain than in France or Italy. Not to do so in a diligencia, railway coach, or a room, is thought a viola tion of good manners, if not a positive offense. I have seen sensitive Castilians look angry, even fierce, and twirl their moustache with offended dignity, when foreigners no gleoted to raise their ha's. But when the careless persons remembered, and complied with the demand of etiquette, the sallow faces relaxed, a ad a cleam of good humor darted out of the jet-black eyes. Hat-lifting and cigar-giving are passports to good treatment everywhere. Many strangers have made fast friends bv such simple means. Should I be sent to Madrid on a diplomatic mission, I should erjgage a servant specially to elevate my sombrero, and a tobacconist to supply me constantly with the beat of Ilavanas. By liberal ute of both, I think I could manage the ministers as well as the Cortes. The inhabitants of the different provinces, though they know and care little about each other, all consider themselves Spaniards, and as such are jealous of their dignity and repu tation. They are very nice as to their per sonal honor (jnindonr and regard them selves as gentlemen, whatever their station in life, and the peer of any foreigner, bo his position or rank what it may. They often appear cold and reserved; but they are easily won, and once conciliated are extremely obliging. Etiquette is very rigid with them, and never departed from in public When you visit any one formally the proper cos tume is black, as it is with us. Ii the person you have called on be out, you write on the corner of your card E. P. en persona) and leave it with the servant. First visits demand marked courtesy, which means nothing unless it is repeated at the second visit. If you are wecome you will ha conducted to the best room, placed on the riht hand of the sofa, and your hat treated with as much consideration as yourself, your hoet.sei7.iDg it ardently and placing it on a vacant chair. As you take leave of a lady you soy, "I hurl myself at your feet, Madam" A lot pies de usted, Senora); and she re sponds, with an eloquent casting down of the eyelids and a graceful sweep of her fan, "I kiss your fcand, Sir" (Bcso a usted la mano, Senor), for the reason, perhaps, that neither you nor she intend to do anything of the kind. Then she looks tender, and uses the phrase, "May you depart with God, and con tinue well" ( Vago usted eon Dios queusted lo pase bien) Whereupon you assume a theolo gically gallant air to be acquired only in Spain and reply, "May you remain with God" (Quede usted con Dios)! The name of the Deity oocupies a very prominent place in Peninsular phraseology, and is employed nnder a variety of circum stances. Your dearest friend intrusts you to the Divine keeping as he folds you in his embrace; and the robber does the same when he points his blunderbuss at your head, and gently requests you to stand and deliver. Men are treated very differently from women by Spanish ladies. These seldom rise on receiving the former, or offer their hand, or accept the arm of their escort; but they kiss the latter at coming and going. The striking contrast is thought to arise from inherent .feminine .coquettishness, the dark-eyed Castilians desiring to show men what delights thqy.are debarred from by reason of their sex. One of the reasons assigned by thewemen for not giving their hand to -their masculine friends is, that the doing so disarranges their mantilla; and another, that it is likely to be mistaken for a matrimonial intention. The Spanish men, who are always saying ill-natured and cynical things about the other sex, declare the mantilla is a much more serious matter than marriage; that an ill-fitting gar ment is more difficult to manage than a poor husband. Unless a Spaniard presses you again and again to repeat your visit, and assures you his house is yours, and it and all it contains at your disposal, you can conclude you are not welcome, that you have not created a favorable impression. Birthdays are made much of, and when they oocur formal visits are expected. New Year's is devoted to calls, as on this side of the sea, and presents, re markable for their fitness rather than value, are often made to those on whom you call. Mr. William J. Flagg, tinder the title of "Wine in America and American Wine," dis courses as follows about grape culture in America: The discoverers of the continent, wherever they touched the coast, or however far they explored the interior, found the grape grow ing. Gigantio vines clambered over cliffs of granite and ledges of limestone, bore down with their weight great trees of the primitive forest, festooned with beauty the borders of rivers and creeks, and, before European herds came to browse them away, ramped down to the very shores of the sea. A cargo of voyagers approaching the coast of North Carolina, while as yet more than a hundred miles off, were met, as they told, with a per fume of welcome so sweet and strong it en veloped and pervaded their ship as if she were sailing among gardens. It was the breath of vine-blossoms, borne on western breezes from that land of the grape. As long as the forest itself had stood it had been the home of the vine, whose generations pro duced and reproduced themselves within its shelter, waiting for a man to come. Three families there were, known to botany as Vitis labrusca, Vitis astatilis, and Vitis vulpina, otherwise named after the fox, the frost, and the bull. They were mostly hard, thick skinned, and sour, for their energies were expended in reproduction, to the end that their species might be preserved through the many dangers that beset tneir.wiid condition. Yet from time to time they would fling off luscious varieties; seedlings of chance, though fulfilling design; fit for the use of man; yet needing the fostering of his hand, because fine ana delicate, and perishing without iU And thus those wild originals of the vine will eontinue to do while the forest stands; for the rude changes of our climate destroy the tender plants brought from Europe, and a hardy stock is needed that is native to the soil. Seedlings of chance , and foundlings of the woods are . our Uerbemont, Lenoir, and Norton's Virginia, members of the frost family; the Catawba, Concord, and Delaware, with many more, members of the fox family; and the Scuppernong and others, of the bull. These we know and have, and others we look and hope for. How many as good or better than they have perished in their bleak nur sery for want of adoption none can guess. But we have vines enough, ana tney are good enough to grow wine to satisfy the hemisphere, even though another variety should never be discovered. All needed is, that we know how to place and how to culti vate and preserve them; and richly furnished as is the board or our, national least, tne drink that shall fill its now empty crystals will be worthy of it. The same conditions which produce good apples and peaches can produce good grapes. Diversity of soil and climate will give diversity of product; warm sunbeams, clear skies, and a dry atmosphere will insure sweetness and flavor in the fruit, and richness, bodv. and bouquet in the wine. In most of our varieties there is an excess of flavor to be tempered down by cultivation, Manv of them are superabundant in Bugar, while others yield a juice whose color is so deep that it too might be deemed excessive, if it were possible for wine to be too red. And if the musky flavor of the foxes is by niAnv disliked, be it known that the im portant family of frost grapes, Vitis irstutvilis, nave none of it whatever, but only such deli cate bouquet and savor as the most fastidious European taste may accept. With such ma terials we must be poor cultivators indeed if we fail soon to produce soniethiua better than what Europeans now send for our drink. inc. and in time something equal to what they keep for their own. Though few or none of our grape-growers have yet planted in soils poor enough for growing fine wines, and though for various reasons the culture remains still in its infancy, there have already been some good results obtained. lhe ill-used and mucn-aousea Catawba, whatever may be thought of it as a still wine. has. by virtue of its excess of tr t&rio acid, such an affiuity, so to speak, for sngar, that if, while yet in the greenness of its first year, it in properly compounded with sugar and ice, a simmer drink is made of un equalled excellence. A cobbler of new wine, grown in the valley of the Ohio, or Missouri, where the Catawba ripens almost to black ness, drank when the dog-star raes, lingors in memory for life. The exile from his native land, whom summer keats overtake, will long for it even on the Rhine or Garonne, whose borders supply no drink to match it; nor can the sherbets of the Orient or cliqnoi frappe make him forget the eobbler that repaired his soul in the Western bar-room. For . the same reason (its happy mode of combining with sugar) sparkling Catawba, properly made and from choice selections of raw material, is fully equal to the average quality of the Champagne we import. The Scuppernong, too, put up in sparkling form, though in re spect to acidity quite opposite to the other, can make as good a drink, to say the least, as Moselle. Delaware and Uerbemont, the one for the South and the other for the North, have already proved themselves capable of great things, though every one may not yet know it. Finally, the Norton's Virginia seed ling, even when grown on strong corn land, gives an abundant yield of wine that is pure to the taste, vinous, full-bodied, red as blood, yet clear as rock-water, which none would require to be taught how to love. Let this only be produced in sufficient quantity, and it will be at once accepted as a substitute for all ordinary sorts of claret; while for such as shall be grown on fine soils an altogether higher destiny awaits; all of which is written by one who is fully aware that American wines have been immeasurably overpraised.
