Gossip About Bogota.
At present it takes four days to go by
mule-back from Honda, on the seacoast
of South America to Bogota. This
Grenada region was originally occupied
by the ( h’boha Indwa*, stho~>t sMHt s wi t t
of American Buddhists, and numbered
three-quarters of a million. Their capi
tal was called Bocata, which has been
corrupted. The elevation of the Capital
is about 8750 feet, and, therefore, no
body can work there more than five
hours a day; but one hundred thousand
people live in the Capital, which is a
dull place, mainly built ot adobe houses.

THAT LAST. LAST NISHT.

Unheeding all the hours flew by

You will remember glade and tree,
And whispered vows of constancy,
That last, last night?
