A. story illustrative of the way in which revolutions are got up in South America is told by the Anglo-Brazilian Times : — "Three or four years .ago, an Argentine second lieutenant made a 'pronunciamiento' in the city of Corrientes, but was beaten and captured. At his court-martial he was asked :—' What post had you in the affair V 1 I was Commander-in-Chief of all the infantry of the revolution.' 'How many men had that infantry?' ' Seven men,' replied their Commander- 1 in-Chief." The St. Paul (t»linnesota) Press gives particulars of the freezing to death of a man at Holy Cross, in the Red River Valley. He was an English gentleman named Miles Fletcher, who was formerly an officer in the Life Guards. Mr Fletcher was a second, cousin of the Marquis of Lome.
