To lh* Bdltur of Tki OuKtli
Iii a South American Wlldernaae,
Hatch 4th, 1887.
I was In Trinidad nearly all of Octo
ber and Norember and, under date of
January 98th, gave yon my first im
pressions aod opinion* of that, In many
respects, moat charming Inland. For
the last three months I hare been,
most of the time la Veneansla, end
will now describe tome of my sur
roaodioge on tbe "Spanish Main” and
tell you a few of toe more peoulter
South American customs, aa practised
In tbla locality.
During toe entire voyage hen, aoroea
the Golf of Faria end up and down
three or four riven, a dlstnnoe of some
two hundred ml la, than la not tbe
•lightest sign of civilisation or human
habitation. On both banks of the
riven, as far as the eyo can reach,
then la noth lag but on* todleaa, un
broken wilderness, and all tbe land for
■astir miles on either hand Is so flat
and level that it Is trot flowed by every
tide—and the riven rise and fall four
teen feat twloe a day, with each tide.
This then probably aeoounta for tbe
lack of eetUemect sod Improvement,
The settlement, when I am at present
located, was founded some eight yean
ago sad and is owned exclusively by
tbe company with which I am con
nected. It occupies a small clearing
on the edge of some bluffs and little
mountains, overlooking tbe river, and
oor residence, office, store, machine
•hops, ear sheds and laborer* laaebes
or barracks are surrounded on all side*
by almost oouoUam miles of origin si
sod well nigh lapasssbta forests. To
penetrate thee* Jungles on* most be
preceded by s native with cutlass or
machete to cot away the vinos and
underbrush, and even then cannot go
more than three or four miles par day
and frequently only one two. lo other
words, travel by laud Is fraught with
such difficulty and danger that it Is
seldom attempted. Our great high
way is tbe river and all communication
is by boat. We an oomplstely abut
out from tbe world. Don’t even know
the result rf tbs lsat election In the
States or wbsthsr tbs war is over, and
no means of fiudlog out for a month or
so at a time. We haye a fully equipped
narrow gauge railroad, about six miles
long, over which aebsut our product
to tbe wharf, where It Is loaded into
tog ships for export, but have no con
nection with tbe outside world; no
telegraph, no cable, no telephone, no
expram, no railroad, no regular ship
lioa, no po*» office, no bank, no chnreh,
no school, no bona, no males, no
roads, no paths— In fact, “no oaw
0110.” exoept our own dear Little
fcwotr, which cdaxes irregular trip*
to TrloVdad. the tour or Are white
people oompeelng oar official staff and
•one two hand red Laborers of all oolora
raoea, creeds, sixes and condition*.
Gams Is vary plentiful, hot rather
hard to come at beeeuee of tbs dense
brush. Occasionally t take an boor or
so off to bunt the festive deer, the
prowling tiger, the wary ducks and
turkeys, the conning In pea mud
agootles (spelling of last two □ scorn
not guaranteed) and the thousand and
one other kinds of game, and also to
•ogle for the moat dtlidooa end tooth
eome Ash that ever swallowed n book.

found time to kill ons doer, several tar
keys and docks, sad ho catch flab

in onr back yard. It Is literally cov
ered with birds* naau. About tbs
middle of January n dock of "Vonexu
s)sn mocking birds" took posootlon
and oommteotd building. Thaos
birds are a trifle larger than onr own
mocking bird and Lavs black bod Isa,
with heads tells and wlngnbeautifully
marked with vary bright yallow. Tbsy
build greet hanging oette, like orioles,
and from tbs great number of them
the tree-praotate more the appoaeanoo
of a bay stack than a Ires I have Just
returned from ooanting them and And
that there are at least seventy Ovs oette
on the oeo tree I Imagine, If you oaa.

ing birds nU day loog to a tree almost
hangtog over your boose, and ail siog
iag at once, nod you will have bat a
faint idem of the wild, sweet, mod,
weird music that I have beta listening
to every day for men than a month.
I am told that then birds have built
in thl* tree each year for the pant tfx
or sevon, nod that when tbolr youag
ore large snoogb to fly they cut loose
all their neats and throw loom on tba
ground, ft la suoh a novelty to mo
that I have taken a kodak picture of It

In addition to tbemoeklng bird*, we

Nearly era>7 day daring the holidays
— shloh oonUnue unabated In this
country from about Dee. 10th to far
Into January—we were visited by stroll
ing bands of Indians sad half breeds,
numbering ill to a doaan In east) party.
They usually wore the brightest oolorr
and many were dt^uteed with all sorts
of rid In aloes masks, some as bulls. In
cluding head, boras, tall and all, and
gave ca Imitation Spanish boll Ighta.
Others were tbe gayest of trouba
dours and eereoadad na with all kind*
of wild, weird music on violins, banjos,
cuatroe, cymbals, tom-toms, ate., to
which the net of tbe oompaaykspt
perfect time In numerous novel, queer,
odd Indian dances. Tbe parties were
pretty equally divided es to men aod
women, aed after they bad exhausted
tbemealvee for our amusement they
expected a “treat,"—and wa never
disappointed them. It la dlflcolt to
say. aooaimtely, tbe number of drinks
of ram, bottles of aod*. lemonade and
ginger ale, pounds of pilot biscuit
("bard took”), or bunches of cigars we
giveaway hi this manner. Tbe wom
en, and a van liUle children from six
veers and up drink rum and smoke
black cigars just the same sc Um men.
Had ws refused them their expected
treat wa would have incurred their
uadylog enmity aod they would possi
bly have wreaked revenge by dee troy
lug some of our property. The sim
plest little trinket or present makes
them supremely happy, however, aod
causes them to be our feitbtal friends
aed all lea for the ensuing year. I un
derstand that marriage U hardly. If at
ill, known among them and that,
when 1-y themselves; they wear no
cloth is. We have no roads or paths
aod their only means of raeehiug ui Is
by wstcr in their little “dog oete" or
curl arms, as they call them. They pat
their clothes in bundles, and, in a
punitive condition of nudity, paddle
their curtarai to the Inst bend in tbe
rlyer before reaching our abode and
then don their gaudy garments for oar
bensflt. Some of tbe women are eome
ly and present a pleasing appearssee,
but tba Urge majority era tba raven*.
They cannot oompare, physically or In
features, with the haodeome, stalling,
attraotlre oreols, mulatto aad ooolla
women of Trinidad.
So, you see, I gave myself up, for a
period of ten day* or more, to case aod
enjoyment aad languidly, lmortously,
spent my time fit tba land of dark
eyed maiden*, where tbs hardest work
is tn trying to keep cod, and where
siestas la a hammock oonatitut* a
great part of the dally programme.
It la very aeoeaaary for one who has
to handle osah in this ooaotry to keep
both eyes open, as the coin of nearly
every government to tbs world circu
lates beta. A cashier must be as
familiar with sovereigns, half erowni
and shillings; Napoleons and franos,
marka, mllieta, bolivars, pesos, doub
loon* and the "forty ’leven" other
names of foreign coin aa be Is with
dollars sod seats, And be not only
must kaow their par or face value In
tbs country of their orgtn, but their
Tnnidad aad Veoesonla value, for few
If any pass for their stamped value,
being either more or leas, aooordlog to
rate of exchange—eomeat a premium,
others at a dlsoonnt. For Instance, a
shilling Is worth Mo ia Trlstdad, bat
whan brought to Veaeiaeia It pamse
tor 25e. An American *8.00 gold
pieoe passes in lbs Trinidad stores for
15.00, but at tbs bank for only $4.00 to
$4.0$, while the same coin anywhere
In Veaesuela la worth $5.90. A peso
or bolivar passes at Its (son value In
Vaasa oats, but when taken to Trini
dad la discounted at from 4% to 10%.
And so It goes with all the other
money of the wertd, sod we see some
of all of It bora. 1 hare seen mors
