Santiago. 2-rofr. Spotiiil American Eepa tf'j-S. Santiago, the Cbiliao capital aorordirg to lit fwbion prevalent in tbe days when pirate and buccaneers flourished, is sit uated in the interior of the country, at tbe foot of tbe great Cordillera of the Andets, and a distance of four hours, by espreaa train, from iu port of Valparaiso. It is a pleasant and rich city, to which all Chilian fortunes, aooner or later, find their ar. Thia fact i manifested by the number and splendor of the private boa", the grett quantity of private car-rlajp-a. and the animation of the elegant and leisured movements in the streets. Santiago, with i! s:eep! nd towers, and its wooded hill ofSanU Loci, lie toward one end of a broad plain hemmed in by uiounuins which are always visi ble closicj the prospective of the streets and rising in grand ailbouttes, even more beautiful io winter than in summer ; for j then the mountains are covered with a mantel of snow which reaches within a few metres of the plain. The climate is delightful. The plara of Santi ago is of fine propor tions and rendered very charming by the iliade trees planted round it. The flow ers are locked in at 10 o'clock every night. As I was informed by an Irish lady with delightful brogue who has had T.0 years' experience of Chili at tbe head of a charitable institution for or phan girls, "the vice of the country is thieving." Over an expanse of many f j-iare miles, for Santiago occupies a su perficies out of reasonable proportion with its lSS.OX) inhabitants, these require to be carried from point to point by a railway an important network of tram ways. Women are employed as con-dm-tors of the horse care, whoae uniform consists simply ofaman'a straw hat, a money bag and a white apron, the rest of their costume being left to individual Uste. These girls have a seat at the back of the car and seem to perform their du ties modestly and to the general satisfac tion. The pretty ones, or, rither, the least bad looking, rarely remain long in tbe "rvices; they soon find husbands or get otherwise provided for. The genuine Chilian house is the old Spanish house built around one or more courtyards, and shut off from the street by an open work wrought iron gate and by heavy wooden doors that are closed at eight. Many of them are of patri archal proportions, covering four or five hundred feet sqoare of ground and hav ing accommodation fjr three generations of a family, and dining rooms where 50 or CO people can sit at ease. The fine houses are not often open for entertain ments. The invitation to dinner is not 80 freely given as in Anglo-Saxon coun tries ; the family circle is more close ; the family life of two or three generations is Keif sufficing. On the plaia you see the rank and file of the army and its officers the latter fine men f Spanish tyj, looking thor oughly military ; the former dark -skinned, semi-Indian soldiers, who showed in the late war against Peru. m k Yhe Hudson Bay Company as It Is. In 1S71 all thecolonies of Canada were confederated, and whatever presumptive rights tbe Hudson Bay Company got un der Charles I I.'s charter were vacated in consideration of a payment by Canada of$l,50f.000cash, half of all surveyed lands within the fertile belt, and 20,000 acre surrounding the company's posts. It is estimated that the laud grant amounts to seven millions of acres, worth twenty millions of dollars, exclusive of all town sites. Thus we reach the present condition of tbe company, 230 years old, maintain ing 200 central posts and unnumbered dpendent ones, and trading in Labrador on the Atlantic ; at Maesett, on Queen ChailoUa Island, in the Pacific ; and deep within the rciic Circle in the North, The company was newly capitalised not long ago with 0,0"0 shares at 2lt (ten millions of dollars), but, in addition tj its divid ends, it has paid back seven pounds in every twenty, reducing its capital to 1.300,010. The stock, howev er, is quoted at its original value. The supreme control of the company is vest ed in a governor, deputy goveruor, and five directors, elected by the stockholders in London. They delegated their pow ers to an executive resident in this coun try, who was until lately called the "Gov ernor of Rupert's Land," but now is sty led the chief commissioner, and is in absolute charge of the company and all its operations. His term of offica is un limited. The present incumbent is Mr. J. Wrighley, and the president is Sir Ponald A. Smith, one of the foremost spirits in Canada, who worked his way o p from a clerkship in the company. The business of the company is managed on the outfit system, the moat oM-f gy ib, yet by iis officers declared to be the mo6t perfect plan in on by any corpora tion. The method is to charge against each post all the supplies that are sent to it between June 1st and June 1st each year, and then to set aeainn this the proaacx oi eacn post in mrs snc jb rasn received. It used to take seven years to arrive at the figures for a given year, but, owing to improved means of transporta tion, this is now done in two years. Almost wherever yoa g in the newly settled partsofthe llalon Biy territory yon find at least one free trader's shop set up in rivalry with the old cjrupiny'a post. These are samalioiea more store hou6t for the furs, and sometimes they look like, and are partly.general country stores. There can be no doubt that this rivalry is very detrimental to the fur trade from the stand point of the future Tbe great company ran afford to miss a dividend, and can lose at some points while gaining at others, but the free trad ers must profit in every district. Tbe consequence is such a reckless destruc tion of game that the plan adopted by us for our seal-fisheries the leasehold sys temis envied and advocated in Canada. A gieater proportion of trapping and an utter unconcern for the destruction of the game at all ages are now ravaging the wilderness. Many districts return as many furs as they ever yielded, but the quantity is kept up at a fearful cost by the extermination of the eame. On the other hand, the fortified wall of posts that opposed the development of Canada, and sect the surplus population of Eu rope to the United States, is rid of iu palisades and field-pieces, and tbe main strongholds of the ancient company and its rivals have become cities. The old fort on Vancouver Island is now Victoria ; Tort EJmonton is the seat of la wand commerce in the Peace Kiver region ; old Fort William has seen Port Arthur rise by iU side; Fort Carry is Winnipeg; Calgary, the chief city of Alberta, is on the ite of another fort ; and Sault Ste. Marie waa once a Northwest post. But civilization is still eo far off from most of the "factorie," as the company' posts are failed, that the day when they slul! become cities is in no man's thought or ken. A ad the communication be tween the centra and otttpocU is, like the life of the traders, mare neaH.y Ilk what it was ia the Ad, old days than most of my reader would imagine. Backlog ap as opinion f.-eqaen'Jy in. plies getting oc'f back op as welL A Worklngman Downs the Reformer." Tou sae," eai' the Tree-Trade "re form" demagog oe, as be cocked his wise looking eye upon his listeners, "The Tar iff does not Protect American labor, be cause it can produce more cheaply than tae labor of any other country, notwith standing that it is better paid. To make my point clear, suppose that an Ameri can workiegman who gets J2 a day and en Eagi sh workingtcan who get fl, both engaged in exactly aimilar work. Tbe two-aollar man is really cheaper than tbe dollar man, because he produ ces, say, 20 of a certain manufactured article, while the slow, thick-witted Brit on can only produce 9 of the same arti cle. Hence the employer of American labor can affrd to ssll his goods cheap ertl.anthe English employer, since the former gets his goods made at 10 cents apiece, while the latter pays ever 11 cen U apiece. When, therefore, the robber bar on demands Protection so that he ca n continue 1 1 pay the higher wages to his employes, he is deceiving the public He wants the Protection so that be can ezact higher prices for his products when be sells them ; perhaps, to the very ones who make1 them. Protection is a fraud, a delusion and a snare, and directed chiefly against the interests of labor." At this point an intelligent looking workman elbowed his way through the crowd and addressed the "reformer" follows : "That is a very nice story to tell to one who doesn't know any more about it than you do yourself. I worked in Eng land for years, and I have worked in this country for a long time, as a potter, and l know that that theory of yoar'a about lower cost of production in this coantry is pure rot In the old country I made jus, as many pieces a day as I do now, but got leas than half the money tnal t get now. I happen to have in my pock et the list of prices I used to get at Staf fordshire, and I will give bide by side with them the prices I get now for mak ing similar goods." Hut the mere mention of price-lists was too much for the theory-loving Tariff "re former," and while the speaker paused to search for the lists suing a handful of papers he had drawn from his pocket, the theorist quietly slipped through the crowd and hurriedly disappeared around the nearest corner muttering something about being obliged to hurry to a Henry George meeting, where the sinfulness of private property in land was to be discussed. "That is my nsual experience with these Free-trade demagogues," resumed the workingman w hen he looked again, but in vain, for his opponent. "They ar raiffhtv Dlansible in discoursing of theories and supposed cases to the unin formed, but they run from facta and fig ures every time. However, as you who congregated here seem anxious to hear me to the end I shall continue as though our Tariff'reformer had not run away. Here is the list of prices paid for making cupe, saucers, mugs and plates in Eng land and this country, with the per cent of difference in favor of American labor given in a separate column. All other kinds of labor, skilled or unskilled, by the day or piece, and in and about the American establishment, receive wages proportionately higher than the rates paid in England." Take Care of Yourself. An exchange speaking of the unusual mortality just now prevalent, sensibly talks as follows: "Men advanced in years, but of robust frame and health, have been suddenly stricken down and carried off after a short illness. In many instance tbe in ducing cause waa the prevailing epi demic, the grip. Eveu when they seem to have recovered from its severest at tacks, they fall victims to other causes resulting from their enfeebled condition. And just here is w here a word of caution may not be amiss. People who believed themselves cured exposed themselves out of doors to soon. They were not well, although they believed they were, and they frll easy victims to tbe first malady that came along. This is the thing to be avoided. Don't venture out of bed to soon, much less into the atmos phere oat of doors. It may be irksome in bed or indoors, but that is not tbe worst of evils. Extreme caution should be the watchword with all who have or have not been attacked by the prevail ing epidemic If it cannot be warded off altogether, itsasanlts may be so guarded asainst as to reduce tbe danger to a min imum. Doubtless a good many lives have been lost by the non-observance of these practical measures." The Ladder of Success. Room at the top? Yes, and at the bottom, too. Do your best, catch hold wherever you can, push fairly, and go up a step at a ti me. Royal roads to success are rare; slow and sure plodders are not always left be hind. Ttierc are a thousand ways to do many things, and tveral roa's to Rome. Think of the boys with bundles on their backs, who have sold their little wares and started a corner stall, and from the stall gone to a little shop, and from the little shop to a big one, and are now ncrchants whose names are known in snnals of commerce. Think of Presidents of the I'nited States who began by splitting rails, or tanning leather, or makinz coats. Think of the workmen you have known who have gone up head in their trades. Oo through all the'arts and professions, and discover for yourself that w here one young man with all tbe advantages, and plenty of money, and plenty of influence, gets in at tbe top, there is another, who be&n poor and friendless, and who had no op portunities whatever, who has climbed frvm the bottom and stands abreast of him. Avail yourself of all the cbanw that may offer to tske the upper place at once ; do not be idle because jou are lucky ; but if, on tbe contrary, yon stand alone in tbe world, weighted with dis advantages and disabilities, don't sink down hopeless. On the average those w ho have to climb get there first. A Little Girl s Ex perience in A Lighthouse. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trecott are keepers of the Gov.

A bright, energeetic young newspaper man in a city not a thousand miles from Chicago recently was engaged in prepar ing articles for publication by a syndi cate of newspapers. It occurred to this young man that it would make interest ing read it. g to present the views of a number of America's leading journalists on "What the Newspapers Will Be Fifty Year Hence." The young man decided to let a few bright minds air their views and advertise themselves to the extent of 200 words each. Among the men whom he concluded to permit to contribute to the great guess-work symposium was Murat Hal.'-tead. A note was addressed to Mi. Hal stead and the following an swer was promptly returned by him : "Your letter asking for 200 words on "What the Newspapers Will Be Fifty Years Hence' is at hand. In replying I may as wall confess that I do not know exactly what the newspapers will be a half-century from now, but unless things change very materially I do not believe that tbe self-respecting paper of that time will have anything to do witn a newspaper man who will send a written request for such matter as you desire without inclosing a check for the samet itiirat IMttftuTt Idea."

The minister gallantly offered bis seat, as the car was crowded, it was gracious ly accepted. As the gentleman hung to a strap with one hand, he patted the child's head with the otber, and the followii.gconver sation ensued : "Fine child, madam." "Yes. sir." "Very fine," "We think so. It is the only one we hive." "I am very fond ol children." Tbe lady noddeol. "Now this boy will grow np to be a great comfort to yoa, perhaps a support. You ought to be very proud of him." "Yea sir." "What's his hame?" "Annie." At this the whole car roared. Tbe minister joined in the merriment, but not in a hearty m inner. lie asked no more questions, however I'ittiJjurgh LlirohieU. Rob Roy Had The Best of It The far famed Rob Roy Mac Gregor was confessedly the best swordsman of his d ty. His celebrity fjr wielding the clay more excited MacN'eilt Barra, to visit h im for tbe express purpose of trying bis prowess.

On arriving at Rob Riy's house tbe Mac Neil cuieltain loaud he was at Buchanan attending the market, and thither he repaired. He met several gentleman on horseback on their way home, and accost'iDg the nearest, begged to know if Rob Roy was still at the fair. "Wbo inqalies for Ro' Roy V inquired a voire, more remote.

It Li interesting to watch trained men deal with great beards of cattle which yoa notice on tbe plains. Perhaps there is no animal so timid as tbe cow. You will see numbers of them huddle them selves together by a tree or some other object whenever there is thnnder and lightning. If left to themselves at night, too, they will take fright at the least sound, if it were but the flying of a spar row, that is, when they are not asleep. What the cowboys havo to do then, every night is to collect them tegetber and drive them into their pens. Then three of them, perhaps, w ill ride sriand tbe ring, each following tbe other, and all singing. They must sing or keep np some kind of noise, or otherwise the heard wonld go on a stampede, and per haps it wonld take a ride of thirty miles to get them back. But while the sing ing goes on yoa will see first one and then the other lie down to sleep, all coming as close together as it is possible. The riders keep on till the last has fol lowed the example of the others and then the cowboys are done with their day's labor. When a stampede does take place the only remedy is for a rider to go ahead of the cattle. There would be no ne in at tempting to check it otherwise. Gradual ly, by turning this way and that, he gets the herd to trake a circle, and when that is done the cattle 'will stand and can be led anywhere. But tbe singing seems to to have as aoporiftc an effect on the cat tle as the speeches of certain politicians have npon an audience. it Louis GUiU. The First Step.

I was rushing along the street as a Christmas shopper. A woman in front of me dropped a newspaper which was done op in its wrapper. Hurried as I was, I stopped, picked it np and chased the woman. "Pardon me, madam," said I, "yoa dropped this." She turned serenely npon me. "Yes," she said, "I meant to,' and passed on. This left me in an angry state of mind. 1 paused, exclaimed crossly, "well, I don't care what becomes of it," and drop ped it I hadn't gone three yards when a voice at my elbow said : "Pardon lue, Miss, yoa dropped this." I lacked the aplomb of the first lady, and I smiled sheepishly, saying: "Ob, dear thank you," and took it. A little furthtr along I dropped it again and bolted into a store. While I was buy ing a hat, an urbane salesman tendered the paper to me, with : "A lady left this just now. She said yoa dropped it." "Oh, thank yon so much," said I. Then I left it on the counter. They sent it home with the hat. A little la bel was on it : "Yoa left this." I threw it in tor coal box. Said John the next morning: "I found a brand new unopen ed paper in the coal box, Misi, and I put it on yonr table." There it was, too. No one will blama me for throwing it out of the window then and there. In a moment the btl rang. Presently the maid entered. "A gentleman just left this," she said ; "it just now fell out of the secjnd story front" That paper is befor me now. To-n'ght if it be moonless, I am going to bury the thing deep in the cellar. There are two places where it requires an effort to keep one's balance on the ice and at the bank. Lourel Courier. Washington appears to be the seat of tbe Chili war. Self-conceit versus Self-confl-denoe. Yet while conceit may thus produce a negatively agreeable effect, it can not be called a p3sitive charm. We do not think a person more pleasing because of his conceit, and we do not encourage it in those who are dear to us. A parent represses rather than stimulates it in his child, and a perton who should plainly and laboriously cultivate it would not be in peril of canonization. It is doubtful if conceit ever accompanies real gentle ness. A great man, indeed, may have tbe self-confidence that springs from the consciousness of power ; but consciousness of power is very different Irom conceit ot it The one is a fact; the other, a fan cy.
