f/LARA MORRIS, the popular and
'i well-known actress, who appeared
•' many times before the public in San
Pranclsco, is at present spending her time
and regaining her strength at her charming
heme on the Hudson. A representative of
an Eastern journal recently accepted an in
vitation from the lady to pay her a visit,
and following is bis report of that visit:
We took the Sixth-avenue elevated train
to One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street,
where we changed cars for the New York
and Northern Railroad. Fifteen minutes'
ride and we alighted at Lowere Station.
Entering a comfortable Victoria drawn by
a clinking thoroughbred, we were soon
spinning along a beautiful country road,
turf bordered and tree shadowed, lt
seemed almost incredible that in such a
short time wo should have emerged from
the heat and bustle of the great city into
the peaceful and quiet beauty of the coun
try. The" entire drive was a kaleidoscopic
view, with an abundance and superabun
dance of leaf and blossom. We pass
thatched cottages, lowered in chestnut,

Clara 31 I'r'.' Home .
hemlock and apple trees, beautiful garden ,
fragrant with white clover, cabbage roses
and sweet briar. Entering a gateway, pic
turesque with huge piles of lichen and
moss-covered rocks, we arc on the grounds,
superbly beautiful, cool and shady. Birds
of every description, their little throats
bursting with melody, were pouring forth
tbeir peans of praise In a fearless, joyou9
union. Gray squirrels scampered along
the closely mown lawn great round-eyed
rabbits hopped lazily aside at the approach
of the carriage, utterly without fear, as they
knew not what imkindness meant We stop
for a moment benoath a giant chestnut tree ;
a huge monarch twenty-five feet in circum
ference, while we are told ihat this tree is
famous as the one arouud which the sav
ages, years ago, danced to the accompani
ment of the shrieks of their captives
doomed to torture. We hurry past this re
minder of barbarism, and through the mass
of luxuriant green a substantial square
house is seen, surrounded with a wide bal
cony literally buried in clematis and sweet
smelling honey suckle. A small sicn bear
ing the legend " Beware tho Doss" is fas
tened to a giant Norway pine. A moment
later we think the warning apropos. A
noisy welcome greets us. it is a canine
choir. The shrill treble from the tiny
throat of a diminutive Yorkshire terrier,
tbrough the entire chromatic scale, to the
deep bay from the red throat of a magnifi
cent mastiff, is distinguished. We dash
along the graveled drive, and with a "Whoa,
Maxie!" the carriage stops, the door flies
open, and in a neat lavender-colored gown,
with the hue of health upon her cheeks and
iv her bright eyes and a grip worthy a
plowman, we shako hands with that great
expositor of the emotions, Clara Morris.
Through an Immense wide hallway, ex
quisitely furnished, we were ushered into a
perfectly appointed drawing-room, which,
at a glance, bespoke comfort, case and
elegance. Bric-a-brac in plenty, though not
obtrusive, was observable. Portraits of
historic value adorned the walls. Over the
piano hung a fine crayon of the owner of
these beautiful tilings, while a Japanese
screen that shut out the angle near the side
window represented her again in the dress
of a lady of Japan. This is a rare work of
art and has a history as interesting as the
arch face adorning it. Peeping from ob
scure angles, ns though afraid to intrude
among so many masterly works of art, are
seen a number of unique and pleasing speci
mens of the celebrated actress' cleverness
with the graver, chisel and point But
turn in whatever direction we might our
eyes invariably return to the owner of this
beautiful home, and we cannot help saying,
"But, Miss Morris, I thought you were an
invalid. I came up here to wheel your
chair out on the lawu aud sympathize with
you."
A ringing, hearty laugh greets this re
mark. "I an invalid — no, indeed; |if
you were to see Creole and I racing over
hill and dale every morning you would
speedily changes your mind. Even if so in
clined I've no time to be sick; I'm too
busy."
"Studying dramatic art, eh?"
" No, indeed. What with my, home du
ties, my crocheting, my painting and carv
ing, the time I give to reading, horseback
riding and my numerous pets, my art, 1 am
afraid, gets but little attention."
"But still you devote much time to the
stage?"
" That is true. The demands of the stage
to-day are so many and so complex, and the
new recruits so numerous, that much time
must of necessity be given to preparatory
work."
"Speaking of new recruits, Miss Morris,
is this marked increase in the army of pro
fessionals indicative of the advancement of
the art?"
"Not so much, I think, as it denotes the
growth of appreciation. The prejudices
agaiust tho stage and the bigotry of the
over-religious have of late years been grad
ually overcome. Tbe number of theater
. goers bas increased and the demand for at
traction has given birth to the combination
system, and ali;these things put together are
responsible for the multitude of one-part
actors and actresses that now exist."
"Th» stage, in your opinion, has a mis
sion, I' ' it not?"
"M.*-* assuredly. The dramatic art is so
fit and Jexibl - a vehicle for teaching and
amusement that it is not exaggerating at
all to say that the stage bas a mission. '
Even the church has not disdained to bor
row its robes, though they may be show
and tinsel. But while the stage should
and does educate, its chief mission is to re
lieve the mind to afford diversion and
make people forget themselves and their
■troubles."
"Do you consider the influenco of the
stage elevating?"
"Directed in the proper channels, yes.
Many wholesome truths, noble sentiments
and far-reaching morals emanate from the
stage. Then again, the stage inspires
thought, it directs the mind away from the
effervescent side of life to the serious and
real things that exist, on which we might
possibly never spend _ moment but for
their presentation upon the stage. But
there, we rarely .peak of things theatrical
here. A? l said before, lam too busy."
100 busy regaining your health ?"
Nn, Indeed; too busy eujoying it."
Of what does this tremendous press of
business consist?"
"Now I see you are laughing ; but it Is no
laughing matter. 1 arise very early in the
morning to enjoy that luxury so boundless
here, so unpurchasable in the city—
sweet, fresh air — while you are enjoying _
beauty nap, I have a five-mile gallop on
Creole's back through vale and dell, a light
breakfast of fruits and vegetables, fresh
from the garden, a hasty glance at the
morning tapers, just to see what the great
woild is doing, and then out among my
pets. There are half a dozeu horses whose
great kind eyes look for me every morning;
as many cows and almost twice that num
ber of impatient dogs, who imagine all my
time should be spent In caressing them.
"Then come : the squirrels and birds.
Tbey require a great deal of attention if I
desire to keep both. I have to keep a good
supply of nuts and cones for the squirrels.
They get very aristocratic and refuse to
bunt for their own food and if the supply
from me runs short, they breakfast on birds'
eggs; occasionally a cannibalistic squirrel
or owl gives me a great deal of trouble. I
had a very interesting family of young rob
ins in that big chestnut tree there this
spring, and a determined screech owi was
bent on tliAir destruction. Many a time I've
had to scramble up that tree—"
"Hold on, Miss Morris; climbing trees 1"
"Well, really, excuse me, 1 mean, with
the aid of a ladder, of course ; but you need
say nothing about that, you know. But I
was determined that the owl should not
have them, and he didn't get them. Then
there are ferns and mosses and flowers to
look after. See these beautiful lilies In
bloom? Every day they must be attended
to or the little insects will soon destroy
them. Then there are the chickens— you
haven't seen my chickeus— ami the eggs;
I'm getting on an average sixty each day
now. 1 spend au hour or two every day
painting, and I try to read some— but hark,
the dinner-hell. I know that is more inter
esting than my chatter."
After a most bountiful repast, served in a
grand old dining-room, with a wealth of
cut glass aud silverware, we strolled around
the broad veranda enjoying the scenery.
The house is situated almost in the center
of an immense tract of ground, surrounded
by a substantially built stone wall a little
less than three feet in height and fenced on
every side by immense old pines and chest
nut trees, it seemed as if it were possible to
shut the world out entirely, and yet from
various points glimpses could be Had of the
noble Hudson roiling away to the north
ward, Edwin Forrest's famous castle and
the sacred grotto of the Lady of Lourdes
that stands just at the beau of that pretty
little lake in tiie adjoining grouuds of the
Convent of St Vincent.
We enjoy the scenery immensely, but
much prefer to hear our charming hostess
talk.
"Miss Morris, have you any particulai
favorite among your plays?"
•' No, 1 can't say that I have. I like any
thing the audience likes. The physical
strain is greater in 'Article 47' and 'Ca
mille,' but the play that pleases the audi
ence pleases mc."
"And you are eager each year to begin
another season?"
"No, I can hardly say that, Ido not bid
this place an revolr without a struggle."
And the lady's eyes grew moist as she
glanced tenderly around her beautiful and
elegant home. "Rut this season lam to
visit that greatly lauded Ei Dorado, the
great Northwest, and dear old .San Fran
cisco, and 1 leave it with less regret than
usual."
"I saw your first performance of 'Ca
mille."
"My first performance of Camille? Oh,
indeed, 1 remember it well. It was at the
Union-square Theater. We were rehears
ing a new French play. .Mr. Palmer was
sparing no expense in mounting it sump
tuously. An army of scene-painters were
at work. An imperative call for a matinee
performance in aid of some charity was
made on Mr. I'almer, and he decided to
play 'Camille.' He hastily selected a
company fur a quick performance, and with
one rehearsal 1 played Dumas' heroine. It
was such a bit that all thought of the new
play was given uu and 'Camille' ran for
sixty nights, then considered a very long
run. Dear old 'Camille'— it is a great
play and has been a good friend of mine."
"Your first appearance iv New York was
a success, was it not?"
"I'll never f.rg-t it," said Miss Morris.
"The bill was ".Man and Wife' and I was
to play Anne Sylvester. In all that great
city 1 had but two friends. My mother,"
ana the actress glanced affectionately at
the pleasant mannered, well-spoken woman
of middle age at her side, "and one other.
As I stepped upon the stage that indescrib
able giddiness and bewilderment attendant
on stage fright assailed me. Sly first speech
was but two or three worm. My cue was
given; I opened my lips, but uot a sound
came forth. 'My God,' said my friend,
'she lias failed.' My next cue came. 1
again essayed to speak. A hollow, un
natural sound issued from my lips that
frightened me worse than the audience.
The very horror in the sound of my own
voice for the first few words so alarmed me
that in a moment the lights and the au
dience were forgotten, and then I was Anne
Sylvester."
Havana* of a superb brand were lighted
as the shades of evening fell. Hosts of
fireflies glistened and gleamed among the
trees. From the noble Hudson, whoso sil
ver sheen glistened in the early moonlight,
came a delightful breeze laden with the
perfume of flowers. "You will soon hear
my serenaders," said Miss Morris. "They
are beginning now, listen," aud from above,
around and seemingly beneath us, came a
low, peculiar and indescribable sound.
" Those are the tree toads," said our hostess.
"They are tbe lirst to herald the coming
night. After his little song is over comes
the cricket's musical chirp, then the katy
did, and so ou until music tills the air with
cadences in which each little singer seems to
vie with the others in pouring forth his
soul in a festival of soug. lam never alone
nor lonesome here, and I am always so well
and strong."
The secret of Miss Morris' returning
health is revealed. Drugs and surgical tor
tures had left her almost a wreck, when a
close companionship with nature sprang
up. Guided by an ever present, kind, firm
and skillful hand she absorbed health from
nature's medicines; fre-di air, green trees,
bright sunshine, sweet flowers, until it gave
color to her cheeks, brightness to her eyes
and strength to her step.
Our visit to her charming home came to
an end all too soon, and will be cherished
as the most delightful in our memory.

UP MOUNT COS NESS.
Assistant Gilbert Hi.s Kefirlietl the Sum
mit Afier Much Hard Toll.
Professor Davidson of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey yesterday received a letter
from Assistant Gilbert, who is making the
attempt to scale Mount Conness, from the
summit of which Professor Davidson will
mako triangulatlon surveys. Assistant
Gilbert says that the Tuolumne River was
high and not fordable at the usual cross
ing, and it was necessary to go further up
the river and cross on a sheep bridge.
From Soda Springs the trail was up a mod
erately easy grade to the small lake, 1800
feet below the summit, but traveling was
very difficult, because the snow surface
was full of boles from six to eighteen iuches
deep, rendering the footing uncertain.
Captain Gilbert, Winston, Lambert and
the foreman lv the party reached the lake,
only seven miles distant, in five and three
quarter hours. Fruiu there Gilbert and
Winston reached the summit In two hours,
over a very steep trail. Nevertheless the
party hopes to establish the upper camp
about 200 feet below the summit of the
mountains and a quarter of a mile from the
observing station. The peak upon which
the station is fixed is very ragged, and the
summit only eight feet across. There is a
very dangerous, sharp ridge leading to this
point, along which it may be necessary to
blast out rocks and affix a life-line.
In returning from the upper lake the par
ty sought a new road, but the members
came upon a very dangerous cliff and were
in jeopardy of their lives until they retraced
tlieir steps to the old trail, and only re
gained the river late nt night. Accommo
dations will be ready for the professor al
the top by the end of next week. Two men
are keit constantly with the wagons shov
eling snow, and there are three four-horse
teams hauling. Four or five days' work
next week will bring everything up to the
Springs. Some miscalculations were made,
as to provisions for the party, which were
intended to last for three mouths, but will
only last three weeks.
The snow is going fast around White
Wolf, where much difficulty was met with.
It is now nearly gone. Snow Hat, under
Mount Hoffiiißn, is still very bad, but there
will be little left by the time the professor
•comes up. The altitude on Mount Conness
did not bother the observers much. They
were nearly exhausted when they reached
the top, but recovered alter a rest. They
think the professor will be agreeably dis
appointed in Ibis respect. All the party,
with the exception of Mr. Harford, were
well. His foot was badly swollen from
shoveling in the snow.
Professor Davidson has had everything
packed and ready for his start up the moun
tain for a week past, and will make the at
tempt to-morrow morning.

SIX of scenes alon X the Rio Plata was
jljf recently furnished the New York
World by a correspondent . writing from
Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine Republic:
One hundred miles wide at its mouth the
Rio de la Plata rolls out to sea a magnificent
body, with arms reaching west through the
pampas to the Andes, northwest through
impenetrable forests to the heart of Bolivia
and north and northeast, closing like a shut
palm about the republic of Paraguay and

penetrating far into the richest provinces of
Brazil. It stretches east and west across a
continent and extends from a northern
tropical sun to a southern cold land as rig
orous as Canada. The coffee, the sugar and
the cotton of Brazil join the semi-tropical
fruits of Paraguay; the flocks from a thou
sand bills of Uruguay, the riches of Bolivian
forests, the grapes and wines of the Cor
dilleras, the wheat, the corn, the cattle and
the wool of the pampas pour out a flood of
wealth great enough to sustain the hordes
of Europe.
From fifty to sixty ocean steamers sail
from the mouth of this river every month,
and many of them are as fine as any steam
ships in the world. Sailing vessels un
counted turn their prows toward every sea.
Rio de la Plata— the Silver River!— name
musical and poetical in the extreme. Rut
Cockney London has dubbed it " the River
Plate," and River Plate it is to the whole
English nation. But why the Silver River?
The water is not quite thick enough to cut

ont in chunks and cord up, but it is so
thick that for many miles it will not mix
with the ocean, but covers it like a coat,
which a passing steamer rolls back reveal
ing the torquoise-blue of the Southern
Ocean.
There are no mountains In this country
except the Andes, on the extreme western
margin of the continent, yet the Spanish
explorers found the Indiana of the pampas
decked with silver ornaments in extrava
gant prolusion. When they discovered
this mighty river they expected that it
would lead them to the mountains and tbe
silver mines, and they called it the Rio de
la Plata. The romance is gone. The La
Plata is a broad, muddy, matter-of-fact
channel ol commerce,
Coming from the north by American
steamers, as all good Americans do, after
the lowlands about Para and the mouth of
the Amazon, the coast daily grows more
and more hilly until Rio Janeiro is readied,
where the eye rests upon nothing but
mountains cupped with swiftly moving
clouds, their height being exaggerated by
the dead level of the sea. Leaving Rio the
ship passes far out from land, until on the
fourth day the passenger wakes and finds
himself anchored in the Rio de la Plata,
four miles from Montevideo, the capital of
the republic of Uruguay. If ho is a West
ern man he will stand ready to make affi
davit that he is looking off into the semi
improved rolling prairies, dotted with herds
of grazing cattle, that surround tho new
towns ol Northern lowa, of Nebraska or
of Kansas; and if bis eyes aro sharp he
will be able to define half-plowed fields,
with the unfinished " land" laid off in good
United States fashion.
'i'o the American this sight is exhilarat
ing after a month of post-mortem examina
tion of defunct civilization, presented from
the West indies to Rio, and he feels a re
assuring sense of home instead of the
settled disgust that hitherto had increased
the farther he went. The next feeling is
one of astonishment that the modern city
of more than 200.000 people is almost en
tirely surrounded with uncultivated graz
ing lands. However, the traveler decides
to enjoy the view of the beautiful. hill from
which the city takes its name, and which
rises four or five hundred feet in geutly
curving lines, capped by an old fort and
lighthouse. This is the only elevation that
breaks the monotony of this flat Plate
River country for hundreds of miles. Il is
a magnificent townsite, and the passenger
finds himself wondering what induced the
Orientals to plant their city a mile away
across the bay. Rut the town is creeping
around toward the hill, and the Orientals
bad better look sharp or they will awake
some flue morning to find an American land
boomer with the whole height staked off in
city lots. .
The people of Uruguay are known down
here as Orientals, with the accent on the
tais, and Uruguay is called by its sister Re
publics the Banda Oriental. Before pro
ceeding up the river 100 miles to Buenos
Ayres European steamers usually stop here
to discharge cargo for the "Mount," aud if
the traveler is impatient lie cau take oue of
the fine river steamers and save from ten to
twenty-four hours' delay. The vessel does
not approach very near the shores, for the
river grows very shallow landward, and
rarely, even as far up as Buenos Ayres, is
it possible to catch a glimpse of the shores
of the Banda Oriental.
By 9 o'clock the steamer enters the
"roads" and drops anchor five miles from
the Argentine shore, out of sight of the'
Banda Oriental, and twelve miles from the
City of Good Airs— Buenos Ayres, The
traveler sees the city resting in a four-mile
curve of the shore, and glistening white in
'the brilliant sunshine, for it Is a city of
stucco and whitewash. The air is filled
with the tiny migratory spiders that so de
lighted Darwin more than forty years ago.
- From sixty to eighty ocean vessels are at
anchor in the roadstead, with - a multitude
of smaller river steamers, tenders, tugs,
lighters and sail-boats liming about, for,
like all the other cities of South America,
Buenos Avion has no docks. All cargo
must be unloaded into lighters in deep wa
ter, after the most antiquated style. These
lighters usually are only hulls, without
sails or other means of propulsion, nnd
are towed about in squadrons by a puffing
tug, comically out of proportion to its load.
. However, Buenos Ayres is in a fair wav
to . remedy this deficiency by a system of
six immense connecting docks ; and a sea
wall, or break-water, now in process of
construction at a cost of $20,000,000. The
first of these docks has already been com
pleted, but the vaunted energy of tiie Ar
gentine Government is not aqual to the
task of keeping the twelve-mile channel of
approach dredged out for oceau steamers.
The cousequeuce is that nineteen out of
twenty prefer anchoring in the roadstead
ten or fiiteen miles from the city.
That a nation which for years 'has had a
foreign commerce of more than $200,000,000
annual value, which from this single port
: loads from 600 to 800 oceau : steamers and
many more sailing vessels yearly, should so
long swim and float its products out ten or
twenty miles to load them might be called
stupid in North America. : If you wish. to
ship anything from a trunk to a fat ox you
must first dump it into a water cart,' out of
the cart iuto a ruwboat, from the rowboat
to a lighter ami then call a tog to pull the
lighter alongside the steamer. . .
. While at anchor in the roads, a lighter
came alongside with four oxen and a quan
tity?!, fowls and fresh vegetables. The
destiny of the turkeys and vegetables was
quickly settled.
**, " hat are tliey going to do with those
cattle?" I asked.
"Make beefsteaks for your breakfast,"
was the laconic reply. X •... *-.X
"Yes; but how are you going to get them
aboard?"
•■ " Oh, 'itch the tackle to their 'orns and
'oist them bun with the crane."
A half hour later a coll of rope was
adjusted about the horns of one animal pre
paratory to '"oisting hup." And hoist him
up they did. The poor beast bellowed with
fright and struggled convulsively when he
found himself swiftly jerked off his feet
into space. He doubtless was In a condi
to state authoritatively, in the language of
diplomacy, that the relations betweeu his
head and the balance of his body were
"strained ;" indeed, he appeared to regard
it likely that relations might be broken off
at any moment. Up, up he went to tho
level of the deck and fifteen feet above it.
Then with a swing the crane poised above
the deck waiting a single moment for the
order to "lower away!" wheu
The rope parted and the poor brute
dropped fifteen feet. A volley of oaths at
the roustabouts for their bungling secured
more care with the other oxen.
"Oh, it doesn't hurt them," the British
seamen protest. "The oxen out here are
all hitched to the carta by the horns, and
do all other work by pushing with their
heads." .
No American steamers go farther south
than Rio de Janeiro, and at that point we
are obliged to take an English vessel. At
home tlie traveler purchases a ticket which
takes him to the place named on it, but the
city limits of Buenos Ayres are sixteen
miles out at sea. This is probably for the
benefit of the English, who owu this coun
try and loan it to the Argentine Republic
to play with.
The traveler, therefore, transfers himself
with his luggage to a tender to discover
very shortly that the tender anchors two
miles from the city, when a tamshaekle
cress between a dory aud a mud-scow,
with a flapping sail, pulls up alongside and
the passengers ure bundled into that. A
protest elicits the information that any
passenger is at liberty to take one of the
s aiming row-boats— and pay for it. If
the tide is low and the wind strong the row
boat gets you at last, however, and in turn
delivers you over to Satan and the water-
cart.
Improvement is the order of the day at
Buenos Ayres. Formerly travelers nad only
the choice of roiling up their pantaloons
and wading ashore, or of being carried
ashore on the back of a peon, who was sure
to halt halfway between boat and shore and
vow that unless his fee were doubled he
would drop his burden.
The water-cart supplanted the peon, but
its day is about over. The great dock, to
which I have already alluded, is about a
mile away, and even now the sea-wall is
creeping out along a line just breasting the
fleet shown in the background of the picture
below. A part of the space Inclosed will
form a great basin to be used as a harbor of
refuge when the "pampero" blows off the
plains like a cyclone. But much of the In
closed liver-bed will be reclaimed and will
quickly be covered with massive ware
houses. In the entire world there are only
one or two dock-works more important than
those vow being constructed at Buenos
A_ res.
An idea can be formed of their extent
when ii is known that more than 5000 men
bave been employed uion them for years,
aud that basins deep enough to accomtuo-
date ocean steamers drawing twenty-five
feet of water must be excavated where
water-carts now go, and large enough to af
ford safo anchorage and maneuvering
ground for the mighty commercial fleet that
is always at anchor in this port. Walls of
granite massive enough to resist the sea
were erected, and the millions of cubic
yards of earth were used to fill in the re
claimed lands; great water-gates and locks
connect basin with basin, so that vessels
can move from one to another, and pump
ing machinery capable of emptying any of
the docks in a day for repairs Is an essential
feature. But such docks alone would have
been of limited utility ; the system is com
pleted by vast warehouses for the deposit of
dutiable merchandise and still vaster sheds
for the receipt of export goods. The ware
house alone affords nearly 10,000 square
yards of floor space for storage. Powerful
hydraulic cranes lift goods with ease from
the hold of a vessel directly to the ware
house or to the veranda of the sheds, where
all is handled without exposure to the
weather. When the docks are completed
a hundred ocean vessels can unload or load
any time. The first dock was finished two
months ago, the second will be done in the
coming September and the others will fol-

low rapidly. Foreign contractors do tho
work, furnish the money and take national
bonds in payment. The lands reclaimed
belong to the General Government, and will
more than pay the cost of the entire work.
lt is the custom to laud this country fur
its enterprise, and point to the docks as a
crowning evidence of the wisdom of the
legislators. My observation, however, sug
gests that the enterprise of the present
Government lies in mortgaging the re
sources of posterity. A South American
legislator will lie awake nights thinking up
"concessions," public works schemes or
bonds by which lie can raise money from an
outsider, but be has fixed religious scruples
against going down into his own pockets for
auvthing.
. However, the water-cart has now arrived
at the dripping steps of the Mole and the
passengers clamber : up. The Mole is a
broad walk, thirty or forty feet wide, run
ning out on piles about a quarter of a mile
into the river, with pavilions at the land
end, where customs ofiicers pretend to ex
amine baggage.
At this point Buenos Ayres seems as busy
and bustling as New York, hut everything
that meets the eye is totally differeut.
To take a humble example. On the river
bank below are thirtylorforty "lavenderas"
plying their calling. If your eye s have not
noticed them ■ your " nose wll soon direct
your . attention that way. These are the
washerwomen of the city. Without tub or
washboard they kneel on the edge of a
dirty pool, and with soap and knuckles rub
and scrub away, from time to time rolling
the clothing up into a bunch and
thumping and whacking * vigorously
with a heavy wooden paddle. When
a garment is washed it is ■ spread ' out
on the baiiK regardless of dirt, witb per
haps a brickbat or a chunk of mud thrown
upon it to keep tbe wind from blowing it
away, and is allowed to bleach in the sun,
the lavendera dashing water over it now
and then to keep It damp. When the pro
cess of bleaching is finished and the clothes
have had another dip in the water, they are
surprisingly white. *■ Later I saw nearly a
thousand of these lavenderas at work at
one time on the river bank in another part
of the city. . -: -
The river bed near the shore is formed of
a . tough,* semi-calcareous clay that does not
soften and melt Into mud so readily as or
dinary clay. -When the tide is high waves
wear holes in it, leaving pools four or five
feet •!' in ' diameter, thus forming natural
tubs for the washerwomen;. The water is
changed only as often as the tide.
