THE GAUCHOS.
lowboys of South Anwtir%-Their
“/ ' Habit* anti Pecnlinfitie*».
A letter from Buenos Ayres (Argen
tine Republic! to the New York Sun
says: The Gaucho (gswcbo) of South
rf*Anierica is the most interesting charac
“ ter on the continent, and if the writers
of tales of adventure could get at bhn he
would adord them as much material as
the crusaders of the middle ages or the
North American savage. The Gauchos
are the descendants of the aristocratic
, Spanish Dons and Indian women, for
the grandees and hidalgos who once
ruled these colonies did not hesitate to
seek the society of the Pocahontases of
the Guarani race. They :ire at once the
most indolent and the most active of
human beings; for when they are not in
the saddle, devouring space on the back
of a tireless broncho, they are sleep
ing in apathetic indolence or gambling
with their chums. Half savage and
half courtier, the Gaucho is as polite
as he is cruel, and will make a bow like
a dancing master or thrum an air on the
native mandoline with the same ease and
nonchalance as he will murder a fellow
being or slaughter a steer. He recog
nizes no law but his own will and the
unwritten code of the cattle range, and
all violations of this code are punished
by banishment or death. Whoever of
fends him must fight or fly, and his ven
geance is as as enduring as it is vigi
lant. The statute of limitations is not
recognized by him. and he will on sight
kill an enemy he has not seen fora quarter
of a century. He never shoots or strikes
with his fist, and his only weapons are
the short knife, which is never absent
from his hand or belt, and is used at
short range, and lasso, which is not only
an implement of his trade, but an instru
ment offensive and defensive.
A fight between Gauchos always
means murder, and it is the duty of him
who kilis so see that his victim is de
cently buried and widow and orphans
cared for. The widow, if she
•pleases him, becomes his wife
and orphans grow up to bo Gauchos
under his tutelage. He is superstitious
as a Hindoo, and an inveterate gambler.
When he is not asleep or in the saddle,
he is always engaged at quaint games of
chance that are his own invention, and
are known to no other race in the world.
He is peaceable when sober, but a reck
less daredevil, regardless of God and
man, and when he is drunk he is a fiend
incarnate, for a howling savage is like a
S rattling child when compared to a
runken Gaucho. As brave as a lion, as
active as a panther, with an endurance
equal to any test, faithful to his friends,
as implacable as fate to any one who of
fends him, he had exercised a powerful
influence upon the destiny of the Argen-
• tine Republic, and kept that nation back
in civilization until overcome by an in
creased immigration of foreigners.
The Gaucho has never taken any part
in politics except as a soldier, and ns
such, under a leader that he will obey,
he is without an equal in either civilized
or savage fighting.
The Argentines once had a Gaucho
president, Don Manuel Rosas, who ruled
the country with a despotism of iron and
blood for twenty»two years—fiom 1880
to 1852—and even now is seldom referred
to without a shudder, for the marks of
his cruel hand are still visible, and the
ancient aristocracy still feel the sting of
blows he inflicted upon them. He was
the son of a wealthy Gaucho of the same
name, who exercised a patriarchal sway
over the peons that looked after bis
flocks an<l herds, and as the young Rosas
grew up the old man gradually yielded
to the stronger will of the son, until the
latter became a sort of Guacho leader,
and commanded a regiment of them in
the war of 1829 against the Indians. So
powerful did he become that it was an
easy step from the chieftainship of the
Guachoa to the presidency of the repub
lic, a self-appointed dictator, the head
of an absolute despotism which existed
for nearly a quarter of a century, in de
fiance of the constitution and the laws.
The official history of Buenos Ayres
gives the following estimate of the num
bers who died through the caprice or
vengeance of the tyrant Rosas Poi
soned, four; executed by the sword,
8,705; shot, 1.893; assassinated, 722:
total, 8,885. Add to this the number
slain in the constant struggle to over
throw his despotism. 18,250. and we
have an aggregate of 22,404 victims to
the ambition of a Gaucho chief.
An idea of the arrogance and conceit
of the man can be formed from the fact
that the money coined during his ad
ministration was stamped with his
pdTtrnit and the inscription ‘’Eternal
Rosas.” But he was not eternal, and
was overthrown in 1853 by General
Vrquiza. escaping from the country with
his daughter nt night, both in disguise
of Englieh sailors, and finding refuge on
board the Centaur, an English man of
war.
But the day of the Gaucho is passing.
Immigration and civilization have driven
him io the extreme frontier; where now
adays he can onlv be found in his full
{'lo y. Like tne North American Indian,
wdeeavs when domesticated, and a tamo
Gaucho i* always a drunkard, a loafer,
aad a thief, Civilization saj»s hte vitality,
quenebes his spirit, and lowers his
etandard of morals. In bi* native element
he will nwt steal nor d-» a mean ert. but
when he l>ecoinfs a resident of a town he
will rob a dog. and there is no end to
bi* maliciousness.
The language of the genuine Gaucho
Is n mixture of B|»anish and the Guarani
Jndtfui tongue, end his food is beef aad
"veilw mute.” At every “rodeo” or
♦•r atud up” there is a eceat feast, at
which manr good things a e set forth,
but the «>t.i'assv d et of the race is the
riba of l*eef, roasted on a spit before the
fire, an 1 eaten with sa’l or bread, while
the ordinary drink is the Ifisratruavu tea,
mucking the latter through * tube. He

; an inveterate smoker, but confines him
self to cigerettes. which he rolls himself
jat full gallop. He does everything on
I horsebaclAwhen he chooses —eats and
sleeps, catches fish, carries water from
' the well with a pitcher or urn on his
head, and even attends mass on horse
' back—at least the nearest he ever gets
to the alrar is to ride up to the door of a
i church and sit in the saddle while the
' ordinance is being celebrated.
A Gaucho child is put into the saddle
I as soon as an American child is put into
breeches, and grows accustomed to one
as much as to the other. When he is
eight or ten years old he will ride anv
j thing inside of a tornado, and after he
reaches hisgrowthif he is thrown from a
horse he is disgraced forever; nothing i
he can do will recover for him the re
i spcct of the community. He is an os
tracised and despised creature, as hope
; lessly lost as a fallen star. The animals
they ride are a splendid native stallion,
a* swift as the wind and as enduring as
time. Fifty or sixty miles a day is a
gentle jaunt, for a well-bred pampa
horse will gallop from sunrise to sunset
without throwing a fleck of foam. Dur
ing the recent war against the Patagonian
Indians a Gaucho courier made 600 miles
in forty-eight hours, with only four
changes of horses.
One of their sports is “ breaking
horses,” cruel and dangerous, like all
their amusements. Two Gauchos mount,
and, taking positions forty or fifty yards
apart, at a given signal start at a full
run and come together breast to breast,
• like two battering rams, with a shock
i that often kills the animals, and nearly
• always unseats one or both of the
riders.
Another is called crowding horses.
Two mounted Gauchos place their stal
lions side by side, and, spurring the ani
mals on the outside flank, crowd them
against each other to see which will
yield.
A third game is to place a bar across
I the entrance to a corral or other enclos
. ure about the height of a horse’s head,
i The Gaucho mounts, retires to a distance
j of forty rods or so, rushes at the en
i trance at full trallop, and, without check
ingt he speed of his horse, leaps out of
the saddle when the bar is reached,
throws himself under it, and n gains his
seat, passing under the bar without
touching the ground.
The skill with wnich the Gaucho
handles the lasso is the everlasting source
of wonder. He can throw a coil of raw
hide while at full gallop with as much
accuracy as an expert rifleman can crack
a glass ball, and will catch a running
cow or sheep or hog, and hit the horn
or foot or head, at will. Duels with the
lasso are often fought, the contestants
throwing nooses at the heads of each
other, sparring and dodging like pur
ists, until one or the other of them is
caught and dragged out of the saddle.
If it is a sure-enough duel, as often oq- !
curs, and the Gauchos mean business, |
the man who is caught is often dragged I
with a noose around his neck behind a
galloping horse until the life is choked
and pounded out of his body.
Jumbo’s Early Life.
The giant elephant was captured by a I
party of Arabs when a calf presumably
about two years old, and by them carried
on camels across the desert to Zanzibar.
At this time he was a small animal,
showing no points of difference from I
other elephant*, and giving no signs of
the tremendous proportions into which
ho was to develop. The Arabs sold the
young elephant to an agent of the Jardin
des Plantes of Paris for h trifling sum,
and the future monarch of his race was
transferred to France. Here he remained I
for a time, attracting no more attention '
than the other animals in the garde.?, 1
until finally, an exchange of a number of
specimens was made between the Jardin j
des Plantes and the zoological garden in
London. Jumbo was one of the animals
! sent from Paris, and was turned over to
kee| per Scott, who has ever since at - i
tended him. Scott has a picture of
Jumbo taken at this time, with the
keeper standing by his side, and this
shows that the keeper was then a head
; taller than his charge. Nobody 4
■ dreamed at this time of the immense
j height to which Jumbo would attain, ’
i and the heart was looked upon with j
languid interest by the frequenters of
the gardens, as were the other live curi j
Qsities. The elephant was always kind
and gentle, and he gradually became a
great favorite with the children, who
were never tired of riding un his back,
and he in turn seemed to take naturally ;
to the little ones, and never to weary of
rocking them on his back. In the mean- :
time, however, he was growing rapidly, i
and his keeper and the directors of the
s gardens soon found that ho was getting
j much larger than the other elephants, j
> He continued to expand until he had
I reached the height of about eleven feet, '
j and the other animals of his species ap
j pesred like liliputiaus beside him. He
j continued tractable, however, and his
fondness for children seemed rather to
increase than diminish with his rapid j
growth. He was the great feature of 1
' the gardens, and the queen herself did
not scorn to pay him manv a royal visit, !
Jumbo’s measurement after death was; ’
i Circumference of forearm, five feet six
inches; around front foot, five feet six
inches; twice around his foot is about'
I his height, viz,, eleven feet; length of
i trunk, seven feet four inches: around
his tusk, one foot three and a hall
inches; length of foreleg, six feet.

A TALK WITH A SURGEON.
{From
Talking a few days ago with one of our
most distinguished surgeons, one of our
writers said to him:
“Doctor, what's the matter with our people
now-a days, that so many of them are com
plaining about their livei-s ? It seems to me
that half the people I meet have their livers
out of ordpr. ”
“Your estimate is a very light one,” said
the doctor. “Probably seventy-five per cent
of the people have livers which are not doing
their work fully and properly. You can see
it for yourself in various degrees of signs on
the skin or in the eyes. Notice it, all the way
from the saffron-colored skin and eyeballs of
the thoroughly jaundiced victim of liver com
plaint to the slightly pimpled face of the
young lady whose waist is too tightly laced,
and who is crowding her liver into such nar
row quarters that it has not half a chance to
work.”
“Well,” said our correspondent, “what is
the most general cause of what we call liver
coinplaint <”
“Th* causes,” responded our eminent medi
cal friend, “ are as many as the diversities of
the disorder. Prominent among them you
may mention greasy food, lack of ex
ercise and ventilation, and irregularity in
eating. The liver is a wonderful organ. It
has to do its work in the dark. No pr - cess
of surgery can reach it while in the living
body. All the blood mils’ pass rapidly
through it, to be cleanse I of impurities.
There are great tubes and small ones m the
liver—some so exceedingly small that they
cannot be seen except with the microscope.
If any of these become clogged, there are at
once some ini per lections in the grand system
■ of filtration. When the liver is out of "order
i the bile, which ought to go in proper direc
: tions on its mission of usefulness, goes astray
and wanders into the circulation, and tells its
tale of mischief in the yellow : mge it gives
the skin. The healthy skin is rosy and life
like. The skin wtfidh'has lost its rosy hue.
■ and looks as if it had been tanned or was go
ing to be, is telling its story of disordered
; Ever and corrupted blood.”
j \But, doctor, you say that no surgical ope
i ration can reach the liver. What is to be
doi* for the seventy-five livers out of>a hun
dre/1 which you say are disordered ?”
“My dear sir, happily we do not need sur-.
gery for this organ. There is a better and
easier way of reaching the difficulty. You
want to enrich the enfeebled and corrupted
blood, and for that you need iron. You want
to administer a tonic to tone up the sjstem
and to invigorate the liver, so as to renew its
diligence in the work of sifting the impuri
ties out of the blood. Os course, you know
that there are all sorts of preparations which
claim to do this work. But be careful what
you use. There is a capital iron preparation
[ which is made in Baltimore, and is the best 1
know of, for it duos its work without produc
ing constipation or headache. The trouble
with most of the iron preparations is that
the}’ do mischief in these directions. My po
sition as a professional man make me careful
in speaking of any proprietary article. But
I may mention that this article is ‘ Brown’s
Iron Bitters.’ ”
“ Why, that’s the great popular tonic that
the people are all talking about.”
I “ And well may they talk about it, for it is
a good thing.”
Sauntering away in the direction of Sprin
grove avenue, and looking at the new im
L provements in that direction, he stopped for
lunch at the Springrov.e Exchange restaurant,
and was waited on by its proprietors, Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. McGee. To these good people
he began to talk on the subject which was up
permost in his mind. He found that they
had both been afflicted with liver complaint,
and had both found their way out of it
Said Mrs. McGee: “ I had liver complaint
for five or six years, and kidney trouble, too.
About a year ago I began using Brown’s Iron
Bit ters, anti then I got well. I have had no
trouble since. 1 took three or four tiottlee of
this medicine. Some of my friends have
taken it, and it has done them a great deal
of good.”
Said Mr. McGee: “ I have been taking it,
too, and am taking it yet, for I did not begin
as soon as my wife did. It has done me much
good, and I believe it is the right thing for
people who haveany liver or kidney troubles.’
There are two caves of cure right before
our eyes, and hundreds of similar cases could
be named. This is what Brown’s Iron Bitters
has done in our mikt ;

The Increase of lueauity.
Boston supports 800 insane, says Mr. T. BL
Sanborn, not 75 of whom will recover!
This is frightful! Insanity has increased
40 per cent, in a decade and most of the cases
are incurable. Whatever the individual causa •
may be, the fact remains that Uric Acid
blood sets the brain on fire, destroys its tis
sues, and then comes some form of fatal
lunacy.
Nothing is so pitiable as a mind diseased.
Most brain troubles begin in tbe stomach;
then if tbe blood is filled with uric acid,
caused by failure of kidney action, and the
consequent destruction of the blood life—al
bumen—you have the fuel and the flame and
a brain in full blaze as when one raves, or in
slow combustion, as in milder forms of insan
ity. Rev. E. D. Hopkins, of St. Johnsbury,
Vt„ a few years ago was confined in an asy
lum. He took a terrible cold while aiding in
putting out a fire in a neighbor’s burning
house, and for twenty-five years that cold was
slowly filling his blood with uric acid and
finally the deadly work was done. The case
looked hopeless, but he happily used Warner’*
safe cure and recovered. That was three years
Xand having ridden his blood of all sur
uric acid, he has remained well until
this day.
It is indeed a terrible thing to lose one’s
