Concordia le connected with Buenos Aires, which in this 0100 steads for the outside world, by telegraph, but the line never works in wet weather, so that it le quite a common thing to see in the one daily paper that there le no outside news on aoocunt of the line being out of order. More material oommpnioatiou depends on the river steamers, which carry the mail, end on the cargo schooners, which sometimes take nearly six weeks to 'come up if the prevailing ,winds are against them. There is one daily paper in the plane, a four page one, very poorly man. aged, edited according to Anglo Saxon ideas. It is constantly to bot water for living up to Ito name, which is "The Friend of the Town," for this naturally brings it frequently Into conflict with those who live by municipal statesman• ships and have might if they seldom have right on their side, The head of the Department in whiob I am at present living—Federaoion—is mnah smaller than Concordia and even duller, for Conoordia has at least some business life. It is very prettily situated on the bank of the Uruguay and might be made a very pretty little town, But Spanish American architecture of the ordinary kind is not remarkable for its beauty. One soon tires of the everlasting paster and of the transparently bogus ornamentation, which at best is ugly, There are one or two or perhaps half a dozen stores, but there is seemingly no business whatever and certainly no move- ment 10 tbe streets except what is made by e, 0881 i occasional cart or a man on horseback. I never in my life saw such a luxuriance of idleness as here. But it is an interesting place for all that. There is an air about all the men in the place 111001 have never seen anywhere else.

It is comparatively a new town, that is the town ns it now is. I believe there bas long been a village (tatted San An- tonio, wbieh formed the foundation or nucleus of the present town. Fifteen years apo, however, thie part of Entre Rion, at least, didn't am"u't to mach, It was considered away out of the world and, as I think I stated before, in Buenos Aires it is still eoneidered as rather out of the pale of civilization. There is a mighty change since that time, though, and Concordia does a surprising amount of business, One firm alone there does a business which goes up into millions of dollars yearly and now has an office which would do credit to a North Ameri• can y O alt course, in Concordia, are of the usual I the people whowear wham.

This is a new industry, at he owes hie success in life to an English least on anything like a large scale, in firm in Concordia who gave bim his Entre Rios, and great things are expect- start. ed of it. There are quite a number of English people living 011 the town. The leading mercantile firm, the leading doctor, the dentist and the ohief agricultural imple- ment agent are all English, though some of them have married Argentines. They make up for the lack of other social amusement by constantly quarreling and there are fully half as many cliques as there are families. As in other places, it is generally difficult to discover on what ground the exclusive ones separate them- selves from the common herd, especially as none will admit belonging to the latter denomination, but this sort of thing lends Boma excitement of however mild a kind to what would otherwise be a rather colorless existence. Of coarse there have been some "characters" among the Eng- lish residents, for that class of people have a way of percolating to these ont.of. the -way places. One old gentleman who long lived there made a big thing by put. ling out money at usury and Rolling up or seising wherever he had a chance. He was a pronounced miser, but like most of that class aleo a great coward, and con stantly quarreling. When anyone raised his ire he need to write ambiguous letters in bad Spanish to the town newspaper about them and took a great pleasnre in the concoction of these epistles.

All the vast resources of nature's laboratory have been pressed in- to service to the end that tortured bodies might have surcease from anguish, and know the peace that only health earl bring. And what more natural than that these poor viatinta of disease thus released from suffering should desire to aid in the extension of the knowledge of the means whereby they have been bene- fitted ? Such a one is Mies Druoillia Shingler, of Erin, Ont., who tells a tale of pain en- dured through weary years, and of final relief and cure through the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, the greatest medi- cine of the ago. Mise Sbingler says :— Twelve ,year's ago I became afflicted with rheumatism, from which I have Buffered greatly. Two years later this trouble was aggravated by a growth which start- ed in the throat, and which each year be. Dame larger and larger, until it finally be - mime so bad that I oould hardly obtain any sleep, as when I would lie down it would fill my throat, causing a feeling of suffocation. What I suffered ie almost beyond description, and all the medioal aid I had did me no good, and I was told that I oould only hope for relief through the medium of an operation. I dreaded such a course and declined undergoing the operation. All this time the rheuma- tism was taking a firmer hold upon my system, and I felt like giving up in des spair. I lost the power of my limbs and my hands got so bad that I could scarcely hold anything. At this stage a friend, who from personal experience had strong faith in Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, bought me a supply and urged me to try them. I'thought I felt an improvement after I bad used a little more than a box, and after using them for a few weeks there was no longer room to doubt that they were helping me. I was taltiog the Pink Pills with the hope of finding relief from the rheumatism, but to my great joy I found that the medicine was not only driving this painful malady from my system, but was also driving away the growth in my throat. The result was that after I had used about a dozen boxes of Pink Pills I was completely cured, and, although a considerable time has now elapsed, I have not had a recur. rence of either trouble, and am enjoying the best of health. From the help my statement may be to others, I am only too glad to add my testimony to the long list of wonderful mires, snob as mine, that have been wrought by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This greatest of nineteenth century medicines positively cures all diseases arising from a disordered or weak state of the blood, or shattered nerves. If you are feeling weak or depressed, Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills act as a prompt tonin, and if seriously ill no other remedy can 00rom tl p p y restore yon to health and strength. The genuine Pink Pills are put up in round wooden boxes, the wrap- per round which bears the full trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Do not be persuaded to take some substitute. The latest results of pharmaceutical science and the best modern appliances are availed of in compounding Ayer'e Sarsaparilla. Hence, though half a century in existence as a medicine, it is fully abreast of the ago in all that goes White Star Line. f1Tei�itlog�. ROYAL ilAIL S'1.'EU1SNII'S.
