The Criminal Class i'm Peru.

NO such thing as a single pickpocket or
burglar exists is Peru, the stealing being
all done by large gangs of horsemen and
in broad daylight on the outskirts of the
town and in lonely and solitary grocery and
provision stores, ETC., in the suburbs. Du-
ring the frequent revolutionary disturbances
the police and watchmen who always carry
guns and not pistols, have orders to shoot
down, without hesitation any person seen
alone on the house top and as many an
inoffensive and thoughtless foreigner or
American has been shot down or killed for
simply going up on the fiat of house in
the night time, it has so intimdated the
negro or Cholo thief, that they dare not be
seen prowlng around alone after nightfall,
and if seen in company with several of
their kind after dark, they know they are
watched by the police. So that city of
such wealth, with so many diamonds, sill
yer and gold, and such costly dressings by
the fair sex, Lima is less infested by rob-
bers than any other city in the world, and
even any city of twice the watchmen.
Many families, whose silverware is not
plated, and whose display would tempt
burglar one night in New York, go to their
beds night after night without even lock-
ing theil area door or back entrances and
although the petty pilfering of household
servants in small articles is almost of daily
occurrence yet such thing as a wholesale
burglary is never known here.-Leter
from Lima.

A French Thief.

The ether day, says a French paper
lady went into haberdasher's shop, Rue
Richelieu, and bought a pearl-gray silk
dress. The shopman had noticed tolera-
bly, well dressed man standing at the door
after the arrival of the lady and seeming to
watch all her movements. Stepping up to
the cashiers desk the lady drew 200
franc note from her purse. At that mo-
ment the man outside rushed into the
shop gave the lady bog on the ear, and
tore the note out of her hands. "I
had forbidden you to buy that dress -
cried he, {" but l watched you, and you
shall not have it," With these words he
hastened away, the lady tainted and the
persons employed in the shop, supposing
the intruder to be an offended husband,
made no remark and let him go. When
the lady recovered the proprietor of the es-
tablishment expressed his regret at this
violent scene, and pitied her for being de-
pendent on SO brutal a husband. "My
husband ~ cried the lady, eagerly. ''Sir,
that man is not my husband l do not
know him, have never seen him. The
pretended husband was daring thief.

The Strongest MAN.

There is man living in Calhoun county
Mississippi, who is supposed to be the
strongest man in the State, if not in the
entire south He is thirty five years of
age, and weighs two hundred and twenty
five pounds. He has been known to carry
three bars of railroad iron, when it takes
from three to five ordinary men to carry
one. He can take cask containing forty
gallons Of whisky or water, (the former is
preferred, we presume,) and raise it from
the ground and drink out of the bunghole
with as much ease as another could out of
a pitcher; and he has frequently taken a
barrel of flour under each arm, and balance
ing sack of salt on his head, carried them
for several hundred yards with apparently
but little effort. He offers to bet that he
can lift thirteen hundred pounds

The Minister of Montclair.

Ut was no use the letters danced before
d his eyes, the world seemed wavering
and uncertain in those days. He laid his
book down, and began to think of the great
trouble which was shutting him in. When
the black specks first began to dance be-
tween him and his paper, months ago, he
had not thought about the matter. II wa S
something, to be sure, he must have tax
cd his eyes too severely. He would work a
little less by amplight-spare them while
and he should be all right SO he had
spared them more and more, and yet the
specks kept on their elfin dance and now
for weeks, the conviction had been grow
ing on him slowly. that he was going to be
J blind. He had not told his wife yet-how
could he bear to lay on her shoulders the
burden of his awful calamity? Oh, it was
too hard
And yet was it too hard? Dared he say
so? he, Gods minister-who had told other
sufferers so many times, that their chasten-
ings were dealt out to them by kind faith
er's hand, and that they should count all
that brought them nearer to Him, as JOY
GUS, not grievous. .-..
Yet speaking after the manner of this
world, his burden seemed greater than he
could bear. What could he do-a blind
helpless man? He must give up his work
in life-let another take his ministry--sit
helpless i'll darkness, Heaven only knew
how long. Could he be thus resigned?
Then suddenly flash of hope kindled
his sky. There might be help for him.
This gathering darkness might be some
thing which science could remove He
would be sure of that before he told Mary,
And then he became feverishly impatient.
He must know at once, it seemed to him
he could not wait. He called his wife and
told her, with manner which he tried
hard to make calm, that he was going to
town the next morning, on a little business
She wondered that he was so uncommuni-
cative-it was not like him-but she would
: not trouble him with any questions. She
4 should understand it all sometime, she
knew ; still she thought there was some
thing strange in his way of speaking.
The minister strove hard for the mas
terry of his own spirit, as the cars whirled
him along the next morning, towards the
tribunal at which he was to receive his SEN
( tence. He tried to think of something
else, but found the effort vain. So he said
y over and over, as simply as a child, one
a form of words
"Father, whatever way it turns o give
me strength to bear it,
Holding fast to prayer as to an anchor,
he got out of the cars and went into the
