A Huronite in Argentina.
One fine morning towards the latter end
of June, that is well on towards the mid-
dle of winter here, I found myself on
board a river steamer bound for the
Province of Entre Bios. The steamer
was advertised to leave from a pertain
part of the city where I had never been,
and when Icame to go there I found some
difficulty in getting the right tram one,
on account of the dense stupidity of the
polios and my faulty pronunciation of
Spanish. However, after much reckless
waste of my usually serene temper and a
good deal more needless hurrying about
with a heavy parcel in my hand, I arriv-
ed at the landing stage some time after
the advertised time of leaving and a good
while before my luggage arrived by ex-
press wagon. Bait as the vessel did not
start for a couple of hours after I reaobed
it all my hurry and worry were for
naught.
All things come to those who watt and
finally we did get started. A friend in
the oity who knew the agent got me the
best deck berth on the boat and I must
say that 1 never was more comfortable
away from home even in a hotel. The
vessel was one of the Platense flotilla,
built on the Clyde and owned by an Eng-
lish company. I must say before going
farther that the accommodation could not
well be surpassed, everything considered.
Well we were started at last and soon
found ourselves steadily plowing out
across the broad bosom of the Plate end
Leaving Buenos Aires, looking its best in
the sunshine, behind us. Just near the
outlet from the docks we passed a vessel
which bad oome to grief the day before
through a collision, and a few minutes
afterwards we passed close to an Argen-
tine despatch boat Doming in. The day
wee bright and sunshiny and there was a
delightfully fresh breeze blowing over the
water that made one's blood dance. Un-
der these ciroumstan0es the Plate looked
almost like its Dame, which generally it
sadly belies.
I had been introduced before starting
to a young Argentina commercial travel-
ler who also was bound up the Uruenay.
He spoke a very little English, I spoke a
very little Spanish and we both under.
stood a little French, so we got along
swimmingly.
At dinner I made the acquaintance of
the other passengers of whom there were
very few. The captain, a companionable
litt'e Englishman, sat at the head of the
table. Opposite me was a young Ger-
man who looked• jet like the pictures
you see in the magezin05 of Germanarmy
officers. He spoke English very well,
played the piano and could tell a good
story. Beside him on the same side was
a jolly fab old ealadero owner from up the
river, with his two little girls, and at the
other end of the table wore some people I
didn't get acquainted with and who got
off the same evening.
After a chat in the cabin and a turn
about the deck we turned in and when 8
awoke in the morning my commercial
friend was gone, having got off at Frey
Bentos, where is situated the great Seled-
ero at which Liebig's extraot of beef is
prepared.
I spent a rather idle day for there is
not much to see, but I was much inter.

two different Republics. The Banda

Four little girls, wearing tam o' shan-

They all attend No. 3 school. They all
confessed to having been in the business
for several months. Their plan was to
visit large stores, pick out richly dressed
women, locate her pocket, crowd about
her and extraat her purse. One of the
girls, to explain how they operated, used
the matron at the police station as a
subject, pinking a puree from her dress
skirt pocket before she eoaroely knew. A
detective said be suspected one of the girls
of stealing a purse in Fahey's store a
week ago, and book hold of the child,
whereupon a woman present said ib was
a shame to accuse the child, and let her
go, feeling cheap. Here one of the
youthful prisoners interrupted :—"Yes,
and Maggie bad two pooketboolte up her

said their parents had no knowledge of
their stealing. They were remanded to

We had expeated to get into Concordia
that night, but when we got near it the

evening with mesio, story telling, eto.
Very early in the morning I was arous-
ed up bo go ashore. It was raining a
little and not very pleasant. My fellow
passenger had already gone over bo Salto,
on the other side of the river. I bade the
jolly little captain good-bye, and stepped
into a shore boat, my baggage being
handed in after me. There was nothing
of Ooneordia to be seen except a muddy
looking' beano" or levee, and a hill on
which was perched the custom house.
The landing stage was a very primitive
affair, consisting of a couple of planks.
But notwithstanding these rather unpre-
possessing signs, the river was full of
craft, and there seamed to be a thriving
trade. As I landed I was besieged by
cab men, and my baggage rues taken for-
cible possession of by an old porter, but I
