SOUTH AMERICA.

New York, July 29.-The Heraid's
Panama correspondent says the news
is somewhat unfavorable for the revo-
lutionists.
Large bodies of Conservatives are as
sembling in the interior which SO
alarmed the Provisional President that
he is afraid to make moyementiu any
direction.
Gen. Mosquera is expected to return
soon from his Punishment in Spain, and
as he has already considerable party
in his interest, 1t is probable he will
place himself at the head of the govern
ment again.
The Herald's Peru correspondent
says: Fa
The Peruvians seem likely to be spar
ed the evil of another revolution for
some months to come. The movement
in favor of Prado has come to naught,
and the people are turning their atten-
tion to other matters than fighting.
Their monetary affairs are in a bad way.
The treasury is nearly empty and the
Government is deeply in debt. Peru
appears disposed to accept the media.
ton protfered by the United States. and
adjust her difficulties with Spain with
out regard to the wishes of Chill.
The Herald's correspondent says the
Congress of Chilli is actively engaged
in perfeCting measures of great public
benefit. Imprisonment for debt has
been abolished, and the Government is
preparing to offer great inducements
to emigrants. Business is active and
increasing. The Notifications of Val
paraiso are completed; the city is con-
sidered almost impregnBble.

s.Advice Gratis"
From The National Sartn0' Bank.

| RtOHb 6tg AtAbtStHt SbALtHIS 1NIbAs
| We have word of advice to all men
who are living by day labor, such as
they can find on the streets and about
the markets or wharves of our large
cities. Would 1t not be well for all
such to consider whether or not the
way may not be open for better 1u-
lture to them by getting piece of land
mo matter Il it be no more than an
acre-wbich they may call their own?
How may this be doneS
AS we learn from the newspapers.
and believe, there is in the vicinity of
the cities of the South, land which may
be purchased at very low figures. A
mah who can comand in ready cash no
more than Sl00 can buy himself a piece
of land from which, with industry. he
may get living.
Further north, where lands in the
settled States command large prices,
the vast public domain lies open,
Whereon any American citizen may Sc
cure homestead under the Act, for the
cost of survey-about ten dollars.
But how to get even that amount of
money is question. - =
Let us advise rigid course of econo-
my. Save aud lay up in bank (because
then you get interest on your money!
every cent you can spare from your
actual necessities. Do you chew or
smoke tobacco2 Stop it at once and
commence putting the savings so made
in the bank. So, If any one who reads
this Is so unfortunate or so unhappy as
to be in the use of liquor, stop IL at
once, save your life, your self-respecti
and your moneys and put the latter by.
If the reader of this uses neither whts-
ky nor tobacco, let him consider wheth-
err he may not &c lnomiZe in his cloth
ing, or that of his family; whether he
may not be spending moro on bis food
than his health demands.
For, in matter SO important as the
future comfort of his family. man
should be willing To practice present
self. denial; sacrifice the present hours
qualification to secure happiness In The
time to come. -.--,.-s- .sssz
If by this course you can save, say
only tenty-fi five cents a day, one year
will give you $780, In the South with
even this small sum, man can ouy
nice garden spot on some of the uncul.
tivated lands. AT any rate It would do
for first payment, ,hnd industry would
draw future payments out OF the land
itself.
At the North, if dozen families
would club together, saving OF 800
per year in each would soon give them
fund with which TO emigrate. Set
Ting under the homestead act and aid
ing each other in building, plowing,
etc., they would soon form a thrifty
community, with their own churcheS'
schools, etc.
Any honest scheme which will ena-
BILE men to get away from the over
stocked labor market and high living
and taxes of the city to the broad and
inviting fields of the South and west,
will be for the public as well as for in
diVidual interest. This is said to men
with families.
AS for young men, rather than beg
for Office, or sell tape and buckram be-
hind the counter, let them, If they can't
do better, work their way on steam
boat to the great domain of the West
and there begin life by tilling the vir-
gin soil which awaits their efforts, ready
to smile upon them in harvests.

The yacht Kappa left Brooklyn yes
