Speaking of persons with little or no means who have located there, the. Globe of that city says If rain does not come soon much suff ering must ensue, as they are not able to bold out much longer. It is quite a mistake to induce peo ple to come to a country like this without sufficient means with them to keep them from want for at least two years.

It would be better for the people that do come, as well as for those who are already here, if this measure of precaution were taken and strictly adhered to. It also says that crops are a total fail ure there this season, and that manv poor people will be compelled to go elsewhere. The Globe, however, has full faith in the future prosperity of the country, looking upon the present year as an exception, and incident to all new countries.
