EX-PREslDENr WALKER has turned up
again. His last effort to establish the
school house and church," and "plant the
arts which embellish peace" has been made
in Nicaragua where he. and an armed band
have entered and taken possession of the town
of Rivas. The, peaceful Inhabitants. who
were quietly pursuing their occupations when
these marauders broke in upon, them,s are
highly Indignant, and Walker will probably
soon find the place too hot to hold him. As
his present endcavors are to provide for his

house and the church" will pro badly post
