PERU.
A late letter from Peru says:

In a previous letter l informed you that
the Revolutionary party in Peru had entered
Lima in triumph The country is now at
peace-a new Government has been formed
consisting of those who most distinguished
themselves in the struggle, and Prado the
successful, is now Dictator. He is pledged to
enter into hostilities with the Spaniards,
which, in the opinion of many intelligent
men, is the only way to avoid another revolu-
ton and final anarchy. vThe government mas
already declined to respect the treaties entered
into with the Spauiards by the deposed Presi-
dent Pezet. AT the present time two Peruvian
war vessels are in the harbor obtaining sup
plies and recruiting their forces, preparatory
to sailing for the Gillian coast, an | at the
proper time attack the blockading squadron.

resolution was offered by Rev. DIR. Doggett
welcoming the delegates of the Baltimore Con
ference, lately attached to the Northern Me-
thodist Church, who had left that body and
united with this church, composing n large
number Of ministers and churches, including
the greater portion of the Methodists in Ma.
ryland.
Rev. Or. Deems seconded the motion of the
Rev. DIR. Doggett, and said
"Mr. Prcsident,-The Southern Methodist
Church has, during the last five years, been
subjected to such n strain as never before tried
the strength of the cables that hold her 10 her
moorings. No church in America has passed
through such m ordeal, and no church in
America stands to-day more firmly on the
foundation of our most holy faith. Much has
occurred of late to deepen my love for the
church of my choice.
"After all this storm of war our supreme
legislative body meets under most encouraging
CircumstanCes-there is no disintegration, and
no sign of precariousness Our bishops are in
their places, with the exception of the Senior
Bishop, from whom we have messages of faith
and love. The presidents of several of our
universities and colleges, vigorously reorgan-
lied, are present, and the editors of our church
papers already resumed. And now see what
God has wrought Here is a whole Confer
ence come to us men representing n body of
''N' A'S new ~ %A"l w IVA
Christ. and do suffer.
Born in the bounds of that Conference.
held in my childhood in the laps of some of
these venerable ministers, and by the father
of one of them started in my collegiate ca
rcer, it gladdens my heart 10 welcome these
highly respectable delegates. And now let us
love one another, and let all feuds and differ
ences die, and let us feel that our love is in
creased by having an increase III the number
of loving brethren.'
There was much feeling during this address,
and the resolution was adopted by Il rising
vote.
The Episcopal address was then read.
a motion was made by Rev. DR.. Smith, of
South Carolina, TO refer the various portions
of the address to appropriate committees,
naming them.
The report of the General Publishing House
under charge of Rev. DR.. McFerrin, was read,
and heard with interest, especially so much rs
spoke of the agents leaving Nashville on the
approach Of the Federal forces " for reasons
best known to HIMSELF and of the restora-
ton of the church property after his return
and his visit to the President at Washington.
A telegram was received from New York,
asking Il union Of prayers on Sunday of both
cities, and all through the Union. The pro-
position was agreed TO, and reply returned by

THE TOILET OF A LADY WHO LOVES THE
SorrH.-At Man Maretzek's grand ball, re-
Gently given in New York, was present a lady
from Baltimore, whose aborS in behalf of the
Southern people have made her 4 heroine.
And to compliment so lovely Il being-for 4
beautiful Baltimore lady who sympathizes
with us of the South, is the most interesting
creature in the world-we reproduce from II
Republican paper the following account of
her and her costume at the bul d'opera:
"Nore in keeping with the occasion, but not
less chaSte, was the toilette of Il well known
lady of Baltimore, who, for the last month,
has worked harder than any down-trodden
Cullec ever dreamed of, in behalf of the
Southern Relief Fair. and who, we are told,
''cricd her eyes rec" because her young hus-
band teorh take her away from her work and
make her eXppnd SO much On.a costume, when
the cry for common clothes and common food
come up from the dcSolatcd hcarth-stoneS of
her fair Southern homeland. Simple, yet
extremely elegant was her toilet, a princess
robe of white velvet, the corSage was low and
round, but over ii was 4 tiny be,fhe of poiHt
u|DDiiyue lined with pink satiu-thiS btrtht was
cut 81 uare, or what is known as the Pompa-
dour style, which is the most fashion
able cut for the necks of dresses, whe-
Their low, or half-low, or three-quarters,
Covering each Of the seams were barbes OF
D0intes upDiigue laid over bands of pink satin.
White kid slippers, trimmed on the toes with
real roses, which emitted perfume at every
step, and even when the little twinkling feet
We're still. White kid gloves with bracelets OF
rose-cOral, the most delicate and exquisite
gem of the lapidaries' art that were present
on the occasion earrings "a Sute, Il c0iFure of
Metternich curis and natural magnolias, COM
pleted this most artistic and exquisite toilette,
On complimcnting the lady on her success,
she replied proudly, MY husband gave me Il
check for a thousand dollars, with special di-
~rections and supplications that | should get
myself up worthy of myself and worthy of
the occasion, and he assures me l have done
so, though | bought nothing new but my
gloves and my slippers, and the magnolias in
my hair. Let not men talk Of the extrava-
gance of women after this. That il was an
exceptional case, counts nothing"
