Got News From Homs.
There are eighteen consulates in New
York, representing that number of
Central and South American countries
wbere Spanish is spoken. This does
not include Spain. The '•compatriote
in “hard luck” with a little knowledge
of the geography of those countries can
operate among all of them, in each con
sulate representing himself a native of
the country to whose representative he
applies for aid. One of these beggars,
a negro, unfolded a sad tale to a con
sul general. The official asked the vis
itor from what part of his own coun
try he came. The negro was not well
posted on his geography, for he men
tioned the name of the capital and
added that he had sailed from there
for this country. The capital happens
to be 5.000 feet up in the mountains.
The consul general smiled, then gave
the mendicant a quarter, saying: ”That
is for the valuable information that
our country has advanced to the stage
where they sail ocean vessels from the
mountain tops. It has been a long
time since 1 was home, and I really
didn’t know It”—New York Tribune.
