Manufacturers sending their goods TO Peru for

invite the consideration of American manufacturers
to The great advantages which they may derive from
participating in this Exposition. Until the present
tme me markets OF Peru have been almost entrey
supplied by European importatiODs. English ma

ana upon the principal railways connecting the capl

tveS alone used. The recently decreed roads tnaI
are now partly working or In process OF construction
have In their service American engines anu cars,
and the great superiority possessed by these over
The more antiquated English manufactures mas ex-
cited public admiration TO an extraordinary degree
This circumstance, and the fact that the opening ol
these roads affords large field for the development
OF agriculture, makes the present most auspiclous
occasion for the introduction Of all classes OF Ameri
can machinery, but more eSpeclasy tnat Wnicn, noo
exceedingly expensive can be SO constructed as 10
be transported easily into the interior OF Peru. nj
tnis particular matter the ingenuity OF Americans
certainly should not be surpassed.
The immense difficulties encountered In travers-
ing the Coroiera passes and roads, where all bur
dens are carried by mules renders 1t absolutely
necessary that machinery should be separated IN
pieces weighing not more than 800 pounds each.
Already IN the Cerro de Pasco large quantities OF
machinery, constructed In England Oh this prin-
cpe, In active operation, but 1t Is generally sup
posed that were American manu- factures known in
the country they would be preferred to those now In
use. Moreover the number or our countrymen-
principally practical mechanics-whO have been
attracted TO Peru by the numerous pubic WORKS now
In progress have gone far towards increasing the
machinery from the United States, and this Exposi-
ton affords most happy opportunity to gratiy
that wish.
The example OF Chile in her Exhibition of 1868 Is
recent to be forgotten. All OF the specimens OF
English machinery, chiefly agricultural, that were
sent TO be exhibited were purchased before they
were put in position, and the agents Of the manu-
featuring firms represented have quadruped their
business since that time. The same result would
doubtless take place in Peru. so many vessels
seeking guanO charters constantly arriving there
from the United States that the question Of freight
need not be an mpediment, and the advantages OF
the experiment 70 American manufactures cannot
be doubted. It Is to be hoped that we shall have
some specimens OF intelligence ana ingenuity
the coming Exposition.
The government has demonstrated in a most
signal manner the high appreciation 1t entertans OF
the rendered Dy the officers and OF the
monitors that recently arrived in Callao from the
United States BY decree dated the 18th inst. all
officers who made the voyage from Pensacola to
Calao are promoted to the rank next higher to that
they held, and all engineers, seamen and boys on
board the vessels receive one months pay as
reward for their laDOrs This administrative
measure has met with universal appreciation, and
the pride felt in the successful completion of such
dangerous voyage would nave JasEisd eve even more
lao Bay and are the objects OF curiosity and admira
tion generally. They Will soon De docked and some
eXpedient adopted TO preserve them from the cor
r0ding action OF the salt water. Unfortunately Peru
has no fresh water haven where they might lie, and
the expense attendant on their preservation will be
very great. STILL the from -clads regarded with
great favor, and popular paythlngs are always eX-
pensve,
crossing steadily towards wealth and prosperity,
there are some sections remote from the government
centre rorge;u Of the blessings Of tranquility where
occurrence The city and province Of Lampayeque
In the north, may be cited as striking examples OF
this assertion. The whole Of this fertile and Deauti
full district is divided among two or three powerful
families and although not Italian in their origin they
regard the old system OF Corscan vendettas with Pc
culiar reverence and are singuarly severe in their
observance OF the regulations attached to those
cheerful occupatiCns. Whenever an oifcer Is named

party, and then battle and bloodshed ensue. Only
a week since a combat between the partisans OF
these Peruvian Montagues and Capuets took place,
in which twelve men were killed and wounded.
The government finds 1t impossible to maintain
order In the department. since the very troops sent
to restrain these bought over TO serve
under one or the other OF the contendlng parties.
The long expected change in the Cabinet OF Presl-
dent BaIta mas at last taken place. Mr.. Dorado the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, has resigned his POSI-
ton, and Is succeeded by Mr. LOayza, and Mr. Paz-
sodan, Munster OF the Inferior, by Mr.. Aranibar.
The new lncumbents are both lawyers Of great dis
tnctiOD in Peru and although their appointment Is
at the present writing but few hours old 1t meets
with general apprObation. The reason OF this varla
ton Is simple and involves no political difference Of
opinion. Messrs. Dorado and PaZsoldan are both
holders of positions IN the legal branch OF the eX
ecutive that lar more congeniGl to their tastes
than their ministerial situations and prefer leaving to
younger and more active men the task Of answering
the sometimes perpleXing questions proposed Dy an
mquisitive Congress-.
