The Last OF Lopez.

lnc LuSt VI AVpOAs
The Tribune has special corresponds
ence from Rio Janeiro, March 25th, giv'
ing details of the death of Lopez and
end Of the Paraguayan war. The son of
Lopez would not believe the news until
he read the particulars in the Tribune
Office this afternoon, where he remained
several hours. He was considerably af-
fected at learning the news. The iris
bune's letter says early on the morning of
the lst of March, Lopez, with 1000 men
was surprized by Brazilian force of the
same size, while encamped on the left
bank of the Aquidavan, stream twenty
leagues to the south of the Apa, and like
the latter, a tributary of the Paraguay.
The Aquidayan river is the same as the
Aquedavangar traced on the map of the
north part Of Paraguay. TO the north of
the position where Lopez fought his last
battle is the town of San Salvador, and
to the south that of Conception. The at
tacking force, commanded by Gen. CANA
ra, was the same which set out from Con-
cepcion on or about February 10, to over
take Lopez, upon the receipt of the news
that the Dictator had crossed the Apa,
and was hurrying his flight to Bolivia.
So sudden and impetuous was the attack
of the Brazilians, that the Paraguayans
who guarded the artillery had no time to
give the least warning. Lopez, with
those officers who happened to be about
him, tried frantically to form his troops
into line to repel the assault, but before
this could be done to any extent the Rie
Grande horse were upon him, aud his lit>
tie party routed and driven to the nearest
woods, where but few escaped. Lopez
himself was killed in sight of Gen. Ca
mars, who in vain called upon him to SUR
render. The Dictator, already severely
wounded, obstinately refused to yield,
and meanwhile tried to escape. The
thrust of lance brought him to the
ground Caninas, minister of Lopez,
met similar fate. Vice President
Sanchez was killed before he was recog-
nized.

We find in an exchange the following
rules for those desiring to make them>
selves agreeable in printing Office. We
have few friends or patrons to whom the
subtle irony will apply, but publish it for
the benefit of our less fortunate contem-
poraries:
"If the editor is writing or proof read
ing, take seat along side Of him and tell
how you started in business, about your
dogs, your horses, your wife and baby, or
if you can remember your boyhood sports.
Should the editor manifest disposition to
be inattentive to your story, stick to it
and 90 through with it. Should one of
the compositors or devil step in and ask
for copy, whether the proof is read OF if
done, you should 6y all means ask what
the article is about and insist on seeing it.
OF course the editor will read the article
for you, and profit by your opinion as to
its fitness to 60 into the columns of the
paper.
After entertaining the editor, step in to
the composing room and ask each one of
the hands as many questions as to the
cases, letters, &C., as may be agreeable to
yourself Then begin to whistle. All
printers are fond of whistling. GIVE
them at least three or four jigs. Then
sing Milwaukee and Ham Fat Man.
Before leaving the Office you should take
hold of the hand press, give it pull and
let it fly back, just to see now it works.
Don't forget to squirt tobacco juice on the
devils feet, or to examine everything in
the shape of matter on the stone, even if
you knock some of it into pi; that will
only put the patience of the printers to
fair test. On leaving the Office be sure to
promise another visit at an early day, and
our word for it, you will be held in "fond
rememhrancen for a long time"

Taking 1t Literally.
The following anecdote was related by
the captain of British regiment:
"When in India with my regiment, we
were, at one time, quartered at place
where there was missionary station,
Some of the officers las was frequently 4
CASEY having much leisure, and being y
disposed, gave lay assistance to the clergy
man in his endeavors to instruct the ma.
tive population. Upon one occasion at
tended a special service which had been
appointed to precede the celebration of
the Lords Supper, of which three advanc-
ed proselytes desired to partake. Upon
this occasion the missionary preached
short sermon upon faith, the foundation
of Christianity, taking his text from Ro.
mans w., 3-'AbrahaW believed God, and
it was counted unto him for righteous
ness.' He treated the subject in plain
way, suitable to the capacity of his hear.
ers, and expounded the narrative of Gene
sis xxi. A native Hindoo had been OBJ
served at the service, who, although he
had not previously attended the instruction
of the missionary, was extremely attentive
to the sermon. On the evening Of the
same day and brother officer rode some
six or seven miles toward native village,
whence most of the converts came.
Nearing it our attention was attracted to q
crowd of natives, in the midst of which q
large pile of wood was blazing; and the
monotonous tum.tum of the Indian drum
and low moaning wall were audible. But
few words are necessary to describe the
difficulty of teaching Christianity to a
race Of ignorant people whose minds are
SO governed by external impressions, and
who are SO matter-of-fact in practice and
still fewer words to describe the horror we
felt when we found that the strange and
attentive native had returned home and
literally carried out the command given to
Abraham He had slaughtered his son,
and was now offering him to the big God
as a sacrifice I" E
