yannah river, eighteen miles from its mouth, and
lies ninety miles west southwest from Charleston,

Savannah are wide, unpaved, and sandy, but
laid out with great regularity and well shaded
with trees. There are twcnty-four public squares,
each of considerable extent. and all closely
shaded with Pride of India trees. Grassy prom
enades run through the middle Of two of the
streets-Broad and ~Bay-having ample carriage
ways on either side. y great number Of the
private dwellings in Savannah are built of brick.
The city contains a new Custom House, built in
1860, a city exchange, State arsenal, theater,

Queen

The Queens grief for her departed husband
has been mellowed somewhat, and certainly IS
less morbid than it was one year ago. She has
lately been rudely reproved and rebuked by the
Times, for cherishing her sorrow and broodIng
over her bereavement. No doubt her retirement
from public life has told 70 the Disadvantage OF
Westend tradesmen, who flourish when Court
receptions abound, and drawing-rooms are upper
most. But il Is not forgotten that the Prince OF
Wales and his wife were the graceful substitutes
Of the Queen, when in the May, June, and July
OF last wear they received mobiles and c5mmoners
at st. James Palace, as well as foreign ambasSa-
doris and others. / am persuaded that Queen
Victoria will hencefOrth mIngle in public life, as
far as her state Of health will permit her, and
that she Is a. thoroughly unselfsh as she ever was.
\ few days ago she and her children went to
the mausOleum in the Windsor Park, where rest
the ashes of Prince Albert. Here she remained
a good part Of the day-the whole Of which was
passed in entire seclUSiCn. Nreaths Of flowers
and living plants were placed on the tomb Of the
lamented father and husband. The more that
we study his character and career, the more do
we see that ne gave a powerful impulse to the
cause Of pure morals, true religion, as well as OF
art and science. In truth, the advance of the
two last has been marvellous during the last four
teen years. He it was who suggested the Inter

Peace between spain and Peru.

The Eco del Pacifco has information, in a let
ter from Panama, which the editor considers
trustworthy, that the difficulties between Spain
and Peru have been settled that the settlement
was made ut the Chinchas, by General Parcia on
behalf Of Spain, and by Gen. NivancO on behalf
of Peru that the nephew Of Yiyanco Is TO 90 TO
Madrid, as representative or messenger OF the
Peruvian government that Peru shall pay Sf5,-
600 ,OOJ to Spain; that Spain shall give up the
Peru and that the Spanish fleet, considering the
question settled, is about to 20 10 Chile, to raise
some questions with that government.
it Is probable that some settlement has been
made lie IS known that Niyanco, who has long
been = prominent man in Peru, went to the Chin
chas on the 18th OF December, and remained there
tor some weeks rs a diplomatic representative t
his country and about New Years Day il IS :
rumOred in Lima that ne and the Spanish Com
missioner had agreed upon most of the questions
in dispute. According to the america, a Spanish
journal of Panama, Spain made the following
demands:
First-The Peruvian Government should saw
that it would not defend itself against the accu-
sations of Mazarredo-the FIRST Spanish Commits
siOner.
Second-That the Peruvian Government should
declare that II did not know the official character
OF cerruti, Spanish bearer of dispatches, when
he was arrested.
Third-That the Peruvian Government should
offer to receive n Spanish Commissioner after
Spain should declare that the independence of
Peru is recognized.
Fourth-That Peru should send a Minister to
Spain to make treaties.
So soon as Peru should accede 10 these demands,
according to the america, the Spanish Commits
sloner would surrender the Chinchas.

The United states IA Nation.

IF this war teaches nothing else it viii teach
the fact that the United States Is d nation or 1t Is
nothing. Union men in Congress now recognize
this fact in their speeches. Southern smyPa-
thizers, on the contrary, are always talking about
the confederation Of the States the federal union
and the federal compact. We are not a mere
confederation of separate and independent soyer-
eighties, any Of which may sever their connection
with the rest at Will. If the general government
at first grew out of powers delegated by the
several States those powers once delegated can
not BE- recalled. The United States, alone, Is
recognized by the governments Of the world.
The United States as 4 nation Is selt-perpetuatlng,
and asks 10 leave 70 be, Of any portion of It's in
habitants, organized or u~norGanized. When
we, as a public, have eschewed the ideas Of fede-
ration, confederation, compact, as terms wholly
i applicable to the central principle Of our gov
eminent, we shall have taken a long step in the
right direction. That entire vocabulary is mis-
chievous. 1t assists incorrect conclusions, and
belongs only TO the Technology Of a most dan
gerous heresy. 1t Is only at home in the doctrines
Of the southern school, the fruit of whose teach
ings we have already experienced in a bloody
four years war. The strongest government on
earth must begin to crumble the moment il has
no central power which is supreme. Because we
are a republic we are not the less, but more, a
nation.

Making Coffee.

French coffee Is reputed the best in the world,
and a thousand voices have asked-What is it
about French coffee? In the first place, then
the French coffee IS coffee, and not chiccOry, or
rye, or beans, or peas. In the second place, it Is
freshly roasted whenever made-rOasted with
great care and eyenness in a little revolving cylin-
der, which makes part Of the furniture Of every
kitchen, and which keeps in the aroma Of the
berry. 1t Is never oyer-dOne, SO as 10 destroy the
coffee favor, which is, in nine eases out Of ten,
the fault of the coffee we meet with. Then it is
ground and placed in a coffee pot with a filter,
through which it percOlates in clear drops, the
cOfee-pOt standing on a heated stove to maintain
the temperature. The nose Of the cofiee-pot is
stopped up to prevent the escape of the aroma
during this process. The extract thus obtained
Is a perfectly clear, dark fluid, known as cafe
noir or black coffee. 1t Is black only because of
Its strength, being in fact almost the essential oil
Of coffee. 4 tablespoonful Of this in boiled milk
would make what is ordinarily called n good,
strong cup Of coffee. The boiled milk is pre-
pared with no less care. 1t must be fresh and
new, not merely warmed, or even brought to the
boiling point, but slowly shnmering until it at
tains u thick, creamy richness. The coffee mixed
with this, and sweetened with that sparkling
beet-rOot sugar which ornaments a French table,
is the celebrated cafe-au-lgit, Coffee with milk,)
the name of which has gone round the world

THE HOLY WEEK.

Time was when the week in May beginning
on the first Monday alter the first Thursday was
a season looked forward to for six months and
back to for six months by many thousands Of
people. The city housekeepcr put her house
in order for Anniversary Week to pay of hos
pitablc debts to country cousins, and brothers
and sisters in the bonds Of Christian fellowship.
From all parts of the land came troops Of Inning
ones, with their heads full Of benevoence and
their hearts full Of devotion, bent on the saliva
ton of the souls of all heather creatures and the
reformation Of all Christians. Broadway is
never dull street, but it had peculiar aspect
and an unwonted charm as that ser'ly season
approached and while it was inproereas. Among
it's everyday business faces were scattered thick
the yisages, not more thoughtful, perhaps, but
more solemn, of mel reflective Of thing not o.

WAYS. And with the saints come the angels,
dressed in garbs Of modest fashion, chirruping
and fitting from window to window, and from
shop to shop admiring, longing, buying, in a
modest way, of such fine things as fitted their
on with freshness and innocence as made all
city danes and maidens seem blaze and unat-
tractive beside them. But all this was
in the holiday hours Of the Holy Week. Its
business was to crowd the Tabernacle, the
Churches, and the least secular of Halls, to
recount the work of the year, to hear of souls
saved in the iar-of Islands of the Sea, Of the
Gospel carried to benghted lands, Of the tracts
and printed Observation-Disclosures put into the
