timet the ruu would make tbeir way
to tbt store, and to giro tbom a fittiug
reception a ateel trap, properly bailed
wa nitrbilr placed near the hole
through which it waa auppottd tbey

of tbe door at tbe hoad of tbe eellar

to a aiaple fixed ia tbo eurbaie, so
that whea a rat was not iogttntly
guilloteood, and llogorod loog in tbt
clutohes of tbe spikes which impaled
him, be uould not wriggle off to a
coinur where the trap might not road
ily be found.
" At I approaobed tbt door, I eould

that tbe object was to make a hole
large enough to admit a human baad

bolt which provouted tbt opening of
the door.
" la a faw eaomtaU I noticed the
narrow blade bobbing in and out My

Rirtly io modern lirnts has tbtrt
beta seoa amort sorrow slnckeo com
munity th.no that of Bntoos Ayres.
Tbi city, whioh last year contained a
population of 200,000, lias been visited
derlug the last tew months, begiooini
in January, the beginning of summer
in the Southern hemisphere, ty the
yellow fever in its most malignant form
of black -vomit, and 30.0JO porsons
have beta carried off by tbe dreadful
pestilence The fi ght from tht oily
to the interior was to general .that at
tho liuio when tbo fever raged mont
fiercely there were no mire than 7",
QUO inbabitaols remuinlog.
Private loiters recoive 1 from citiioos
of ibe Uuited 8tiUes living tsmjiorsrily
in Buqoos Ayres rrpreseot tbe condi
tion of ibe city na haviog been dread
ful in tba extreme. Many of our own
countrymen fell victims to the malady.
The deed io soms instances Isy frster
iog in the dwellings for the want ol
coflius in wbieh to bury thorn or beat
ers to carry them lo tht grave. -Friend!,
who heroically remained to ourso
those dear to them were struck down
iu turo. and tho bravo nod the atroog
ol ooe day wrro tbe victims of the next.
It seemed as if the eotiro pnpulatiou
wus shout to be swept awuy.
UcsiJes the horrors of the pestilence
tbe city suffered in the month of May
by a severe and grnoral eommerciui
panic All btisincas had been u
peudcJ for weeks, in oosequcnto of
tbo fl.ght to Iho country districts, un.l
roauy even of ibo largost commercial
houses hi'l been closed. Tbo cooe-
qiieoce was mat many bills went to
protest because tb drawers and en
dorsers coull not be found Death,
perhaps had louod them, aod enforced
paymoot of the last debt ol'all.
At the preseot advices tbt fever had
not disippoarol, although tha city
was beginning to assume its wouted
aspect of trade an 1 etiniaiution. Bu
ureaI ou! nit" m nucnt when fresh
dvusted by the same scourge, the
refugees by returning to soqq may
cause tbe re.ippoaruo.ee of tho pesti.
lenoe. Buncos Ayres has oo system
of sewers, and the surface drainiug is
bad. Although the wiutcr bn begun,
tliul season is never rigorous there,
aud tbe precsutioos liitberto taken to
clcauso sod purify th city are said lo
bo wholly insufficient.
