A brief glance at the rise and progress
/ fthis struggle will enable us to more
/ clearly comprehend the present situation.
In the month of March, 1864 the Peru
| wan Government became involved with
| Spain IN regard to certain questions ari-
sing out OF claims Of Spanish residents
against Peru. A local dispute had arisen
at IalambO between some Peruvian land
owners and Spanish coIonists, in which
two persons were killed and four woup-
ded. The Peruvian Courts at once pro-
ceeded to Investigate the matter, but the
Spanish Government, evidently in search
of pretext, interfered in the case while
the Investigation was going on, and ulti-
mately seized the Chinchia Lnland's. In
solent demands followed. These de-
mands were acceded by the Government,
but the indignant people overthrew the
Government, and when the new Presi-
dent did not act with sufficient clerlty in
wiping out the disgrace they overthrow
him too and elected to power the present
incumbent, who signalized his advent by
declaring war forthwith against the inva-
der and joining In an alliance with Chilli
The latter had early In the controversy
shown strong sympathy for Peru, allow

ships to receive coal and enlist men in

Spanish vessels because it had been de-

The Spaniards were, therefore, indig-

Peruvians had acQuiesced in their urgent

MORE PRECIOUS rHAN BUB1Es

Would it not please you to pick up
strings of pearls, drops of diamonds, and
precious stones, as you pass along the
streets 1t would make you feel happy
for a month to come. Such happiness
you can give to others. How, do you
ask ? By dropping sweet words as you
pass along. These are true pearls and
precious stones, which never can be lost {;
OF which none can deprive you. Speak
for that orphan child bright diamonds
fash in her eyee. Smile on the sad and
detected, a joy suffuses her cheek more
brilliant than the most precious stone.
By the Wayside, amid the city's din,
and at the freside of the poor, drop
words and smiles to cheer and bless.
You will feel happier when resting upon
your pillow at the close of day, than if
you had picked up score Of perishing
jewels. The latter fade and crumble in
time the former grows brighter with
age, and produce happier reflections for
ever.

John Bright on Education.

AT a recent Sunday School Conference
In Rochdale, Mr.. Bright spoke on the
pressing need of furnishing education to
the children Ofthe poor in England. In
Manchester and Stafford, he said, there
were over fifty thousand children who
we're receiving no instruction whatever.
In contrast to this state of things, he
held up New England as a noteworthy
example of the beneficial effect of COM
mon school system. Mr.. Bright said
AS to the results, / might give you the
statements of travellers, and J. will give
you the statement of one friend of mine
who is now no longer living. j refer to a
very eminent member of the House of
commons, the late Mr.. Ellice, the mem
Der for Coventry Mr.. Ellice travelled in
America, as he had done two OF three
times before very near the close OF his
life. some six or seven years ago. He
visited Canada and the United States,
and In a conversation which / had with
him after his return, he said that in those
New England States there was the most
perfect government In the world, there
was the most equal condition, and the
most universal comfort among the people,
and he said that the whole population, he
believed, were more instructed, more
moral, and more truly happy, than any
other equal population had been in any
country aud in any age OF the world.
TCheers. The whole Of this is to be
traced. not to the soil, and not to the eli
mate, but it is to be traced, l believe, to
the extraordinary care which the pOpU-
lation, from the days Of the Pilgrim
Fathers until now. have taken with every
child,-boy and girl,-that they should
be thoroughly instructed, at least in the
common branches Of learning. [Hear,
hear I
Mr.. Bright went on to speak in rather
a hopeless tone Of the need of a similar
system in England. It would seem, how
ever, that in the spread Of education, the
English radicals would find the fulcrum
for their lever reform.

Theodore Parker, in one of his ser
mons, uttered the following remarks
touching women
There are three classes of women.
First, domestic drudges, who are Who'll
ly taken up in the material details of
their housekeeping and childkeeping.
Their housekeeping is a trade, and no
more; and after they have done that
there is no more they can do. In New
England it is a small class, getting less
every year.
Next, there are domestic dolls, wholly
taken up with the vain show that delights
the eye and ear. They are ornaments of
the estate. Similar toys, suppose, will
be more cheaply manufactured at Paris,
Nuremburgh, at Frankfort-on-the-M Main,
and other toy shops in Europe, out of
wax, papier- -mache, and sold in Boston,
at the harber-d r-dasher's by the dozen.
These ask nothing beyond their func-
tions as dolls, and hate all attempts to
elevate womankind.
But there are domestic women who
order a house, and are not mere drudges,
adorn it, and are not mere dolls, but
women. Some of these-a great many
eonioin the useful of the drudge and the
beautiful of the doll, into one woman

They are wholly taken up with their
