Ia talking ot amusemente, I must not forget meationing horse tracieg, which is quite a popular pistime, aad about one cf the most ably conducted recreations to be fou-d here. As horses are apparently of vers little value, every one you meet is mounted on some kiud of nag or other. A great many of these steeds are, it ie true, candidates for a passago through the “valley of the shadow of death;” but you will often meet—geverally the property of a rich native—a fine, Doble looking aoimal, acd such are a'met in- variably caparia ned in the costlivat maoner. Par! of our cre# being on liberty lately, many of them engaged steeds from the livery stabies, which are quite numercus, and rode to tne races in regular sailor rig, their appearsn:e causwg quite a furore on the courage, where their evolutions on horseback, “thcngh fet in the bills,” were loudly applanded. As regards toreign importation of tae animal man, Montevideo has done ite share inthat line. You bave bere Irish gin gl Yeokee bar rooms, Dutch ‘ager bier saloons, French frog cooking es- tablisbments, and Eoglish raat beef hotels ia any quantity. I had nearly said there were Barnoms here, but the ipramece of that biograpby at my elbow suggested that I might! as weil look for a Fe- jee mermaid, The promenades are always crowded with denizens and strangers of every rank and sta- tion in life, ard natives of rey country a nder the sup.

Padrea with browd brimmed hats, Spaniards with flowirg cloake, beggars in tattered dude, in raga, and out of sags, begxing oh the side, invest ing every position, proposition and deposition their ipgeruity can devise to soften the hesré and open the puree—in fact, euch a motiey mixture of Adam’s descer dants can hardly be ecen all the world over. The pative inhabitants of Montevideo ara kind, boepitable, and obliging; but whether owing to na- tural irstinct, cr influenced by te hitherto very uneetticd condition of their country, they are tret ful and euepicioue, and ever fearful of invasion. This last characteristic was forcibly, yet amusingly illustrated while the United States Bainbrioge lay here last September. Ex Capt. Hunter took it into hie head to have a necla general querters on board, duriog which he put the men torongh in regular man of war fa:hion, end po mistake; and, to eo oe effect to the imaginary action, fired a few cartridges, the aor | which woke every soul in Montevideo, Dressed, half dressed and naked members of both vexes flew hither and thither, to and fro, up acd down, im the most langhabie coufasion, carrying with them such of their goods and chattels as were toprepared for elopement.

It is al- mst peediess to ay that considerable eloquence had to be wasted ere the pa ific intentions of Capt, Honter could be eufficiently appreciated to allay the fewre of the popula:e. The cr inal JaUs here are always crowded with every species of crimicals, who sre used to cleau the sticets, which, notwithstanding their constant exertions, they are unab‘e to do to any use‘ul extons.

The hotels of Montevideo are numerous, and some of them are rarely eurpessed in the elogance and o»mfort of their arrangements. The princl ones are the Hotel de Paris, and the Hotei de }'Earope, which are no less remerkeble for their anipe tike bille, thaa for their French dishes and the jaw-bresking titles they ive them.

By the laws of this country, and the constitation of 1898, which the evolutionists pretead to respect, the executive power cannot approve of treaties or contracts, for this can only be done by the legislative power; but Castillon’s object was to get so'diers to carry on the civil war ana to réahse bie Wews of power and revenge on the Granadisos, and therefore he approved of the | treaty made with Byron Cole, and tuis was the first step to encourage filibustering. Maximo Espinoza, in January, 1855, being Gov. erpor of Rivas, then made an agreement with Jules Brissot, who was going to California with a pass port from the American Minister, and came to Gra- nada a attached to the United States legation, to enlist fitbustere in San Francieco. Byron Cole offered, as a reward to.each Alibuster, one hundred acres of land out of the 52,000 acres, which, by com:zact, was given to the oolonista, and, at the same time, coded said contract to Wm.
