BantiaoO, Chili, Nov. 25.???The crce.ias of fmuth A merit* Is * woman, Donna Isadora Cousino of Santiago, ChiU, and there aro few men or women in the world richer than she. The re is no end to her money, and no limit to her extravagance, and people call her the countess of Monte t???risto. She traces her an- cef-try back to the days of tbo conquest, and lias the record of the first of her father who land< d in the New World. HIa family was al ready famous, for his uncles and sire fought Under the ensign of the Arragons before the Alliance with Castile. But tho Spanish branch Like liers, the ancestors of her late husband came over early, and In the partition of the lands and spoils of the conquest both got a large share, which they kept and increased by adding the portions given to their lew thrifty And less enterprising assoc iates, until the two estates became tbo largest, most productive, and most valuable of ail tbo haciendas of Chill, and wetc finally uultcd into one by tho mar- tisae tnruty-four years agoof the 1.c/e don and ana hi* surviving widow. While lie lived he Iras ccnsUlcnd the richest man in Chili and she (he richest woman, for their property was kept separate, tho huslauid managing his estates and the wife her own, and people auy she was altogether the hotter administrator of the two. This fact be acknowledged in his will, when he bequeathed all of his |>oascmions to her, and piled iris Vcllon u[kju her Ossa, so that she bus millions of acres of land, millions of dollars in money, flocks and herds that are tittiuLcnd by tho hundreds of thouiands. ccttl, copper, nnd silver mines, acres of real estate in the cities of Santiago and Valparaiso, a fleet of iron steamships, smelting works, a nulruid, and various other trifles in tho way of productive property, which yield her an iureme of several millions a year, that she tiies very hard to spend, and under the cir cumstances succeeds as well as could bo ex pected. Fiorn the coal mines alone Honors Cousino bus nn Income of $80,000 a month, and tlioro is no reason why this should not be perpetual, m they are the only sourco from widen fuel can be obtained in all South America, and these who do not buy of her have to import their coal from Great Britain. It is said that it c osts only $1.3T?? a ton to mine uml deliver this teal on shipboard, and sho will not sell an ounce of it at a price less than $7.50 a ton. Just a shade lower than the cost of imported Car diff Hbe bar. a fleet of eight iron steamships, of capacities varying from 2,000 to 3,000 tons, built in England, and used to carry tho coal tip tho coast us far as Panama, and around tho straits of Magellan toBnonoa Ayres and Montovidio. At Lota she has copper and silver smelting works, In sides tho coal mines, and her coaling ships bring ore down tko coast as a return cargo from upper Chili, IVru and Ecuador, while these tlmt go to Bueuos Ayrat bring back beef and flour aud merchandise for the < onsumption of her people. Mmc. (Am- siuo owns every house in the town of LaU. and every one of its six or seven thousand in habitants ia dependent upon her for support. has lirh k kilns and potteries, as well as smelt ers, aud makes all the tiles and earthenware used on tho west coast. It to said that aho pays out from $100,000 to $120,000 a month as wage / in theso two towns, most of which comes back into her pocket through the supply stores, Who o sho soils food and clothing to her own l>con*c. Alt hough Lota ia only a mining town, as dir ty and tmuky as any of Its counterparts in Fenway 1 vanlu. It Is the widow's favorite. pU?? Of residence, and aho is now buffding a man sion that will cost a million dollars at least. This mansion stands in tho centre of what is undoubtedly tho fiucat private nark in the world, including 250 acres of land, laid out in the most elaborate manner, Ailed with statu- my, fountains, grottos, caves, cascades, and no end of ht-autiftil trees anil plants. Tho Ini- plow nu nt of the natural beauty of the place is mid to havo coat Honors Cousino nearly a mil lion dollars, nnd sho haa a force of thirty gar- dcnci a constantly at work. Her ability as a manager is remarkable, and she directs every detail, receiving weekly re port!* from the ten or twclvo superintendents who Lave immediate, charge or her uflair*. While tho U generous to profligacy, tho ro- quiic i u strict aecouut of every dollar earned or spent upon her vast estates, aud to very ???harp at driving a bargain. At present the madam is living In a tempor ary 6t??ucture, but remains constantly on tho ground to superintend tho construction of her new hr mo. Vlio has another park aud paheo an hour's drive from .Santiago???the finest "es- lauim" or plantation in Chili, perhaps in all Honlh America. This Is called ???Macul,??? and the white stretches from the boundaries of tho city of Santiago far Into the Cordilleras, whoso ?? listening ca]* as cverhuliug snow mark the mits of the widows mite, Iu tho valleys are her tie Ids of grain, her orchards, and her vine* ycids, while in the foothills of tho mountains her flocks of sheep and herds of rattlo feed, licit she gives e mployment to 300 or 400 men, nil u:puii:ud uiulrr the direction of supertu- temU uts. moat of whom nn* Scotchmen. She has otic Amerienu in her employ nt ???Macul, where I usincfi* is that of a general farmer, hut his time in uiuetly occupied iu teaching the natives on the place how to operate labor-saving agi'.cu tuial mo*hincry. In addition to her landed prop erty and her mlucs, she owns much city real estate, the rental of which brings her several hundred thousand dollars a year, and she is the principal atockhohler in the largest l*ank iu Santiago. Not long ago aho prooiitod a l*rk of a hundred acres to the people of that city nr.d a rare cuurac adjoining it. Tin- inudaiu i?? very fond of young men, and bps ftem fifteen to twenty young fellows nnuud lier constantly, to whom she gives all the money they can spnri. In return she ex- peels them to entertain her. While (ho Gutted Staten fleet was at Valparaiso not lung ugo she iuvittd all tlie officers to *|irnd a week w ith her at ???Macul" and Santiago, and sent a ???pccSl train to bring them up. Admiral Up shur and about twenty of his officers accepted the Invitation, lodged at the widow's houses rode In her earriajrm, and had a high old time at her expense. She would not allow one of them to spend a dollar, and sent word to all the shop* and restaurants that anything the Aircilrnn e fficcre ordered was to Ik* charged to her a> count. There waa a good d. al of scandal over this affair at Santiago, and the Americans who were not asked to share the madam's hos pitality felt at liberty to talk about U as severe ly aa they pleased. But the officers wore in no way to blame, for this waa one of the lody'a freaks, and her method of having a good time*. Every prison of distinction who routes to Chili is entertained by her, and her balls are marvels of mk 1*1 splendor. Lady Brassey, In her story of the voyage of the Suubcam, gives an account of her acquaintance with Hcuora Courtuo, aud thc.fpk-naor in which she lives Last spring the madam fitted out one of her coal ships, provisioned It In the most extrava gant manner, hired an orchestra of twelve pieces, and invited fifty or more ladies and gen tlemen to take a cruise. The party visited Juan Fernandes, the inland that is sacred to lbsi mi mory of Kobinsou Crusoe, and then sail ed dti\ n tlie coast of Terra del Fuego, where several days were spent in search of a good time. From tho stories that are told the ernsnd Was lurcewful, and the jruasips of ChlU will never eras# to talk about it. The eruisc lasted about three weeks, aud coat the n*ftd | * w i mauy age to oak her. Not long since sho took a fancy to a young German., with a very blonde beard and hair,.and insisted that he should give up his business and make his home with her. The inducements she offered were sufficient, and for several months the young man has been tied to her apron strings, having the ostensi ble employment of a private secretary. But the madam is very fickle, and will probably throw him overboard when the whim seizes her. as she has many others. Neither of her girls inherits their mother's business ability, or at least they have not de veloped it, but are very popular in society, and Hcnorita Isidore, the elder, bos a great deal of musical talent, performing on tho violin and piano. Both arc very bright and pretty, one being about seventeen and the other nineteen years of age. Their brother, a young man of twenty-three or twenty-four, will share the property with them; and it is quite an usual thing for a boy with so much money to develop t he business capacity and industry that he shows, lie is to marry a young Indy of rather humble station, and it is expected that the Bfeiggi man sion will, be given to the bride by his mother as a wet ding gift.

Sanders lives???? n*kt d the marshal, not knowing he was addreshing the noted moonshiners. ???Wall, stranger, I montand I niout not,??? was the reply, as he refilled his mouth with stingy green. ???I want to find him nnd will be thankful if yen can direct me to hU home.??? ???Wall, he lives just over the hill, thar,' V ef he aint at home the ole woman will be thar to receive yer.

I Jiave been a great sufferer from a terrible form of nasal catarrh, for something over four years, and my hearing became very much impaired,especially in my left ear, and a continual roaring sensation was prevalent. Having tried most all prominent local physicians, and several highly recommended medicines, with but little or no benefit, I chanced to see a remarkable certificate given by a promi nent citizen of Athens, Georgia, who seemed to be afflicted something like myself, and seeing he had teen permanently cured with eight bottles of Bo- anlc Blood Balm, I wrote him a letter, and re ceived a most encouraging answer, to the effect that he had been cored, and long enough to be thoroughly satisfied that no return of the would ensue. With IbJ* I pureba red B. B. B, from T. E. Fmlt ii Bro., and began its use toinv utmost surprise aud satisfaction. I take great pleasure iu making the announcement that after using only ten bottles of this most excellent remedy the roaring sensation of my left car has been entirely stopped, myleftnostral healed, and upon a whole my general health greatly restored. I am happy to announce that B. B. B. Is a good blood purifier and a fine toulc, aud I believe that a few more bottles will entirely cure my right nostril,???which Is a great deal better than ft has been now for years, and which has been the seat of long, miserable suffering. This remedy, haring stopped all minor troubles, I can???t believe otherwise than than in a very short time I can an. ncuncc to the suffering public who may bo simi larly afflicted, a positive and permanent euro of one of the most obstinate cases of nasal catarrh in this county.
