BUENOS AYRES.

It Is One of the Most Magnificent Cities in the World. Buenos Ayres is already one of the most magnificent cities in the world. Enormous sums hare been laid out in widening the streets and erecting splendid buildings. But apparently the Argentines are not yet content, for the Chamber has just authorized the raising of a new municipal loan of £3,000,000 “for the purpose of improving and embellishing the city.” This is probably due to jealousy ot Bio de Janeiro, for the Brazilians have recently spent a good deal of money in beautifying their capital, and the Buenos Ayrians are determined not to be beaten in the race of luxury.—London Globe.
