Flood In Peru.
Seven Thousand People Subsist-
ing On Charity.
TERRIBLE SUFFERING.

CALLAo, March 2S.-Accounts con-
tinue to arrive from all sides of the
damage done by the late floods. 1t j:
now estimated that in the southern
portion Of the Republic alone $1,000
600 would not cover the losses sus'
tanned M. MonGoy, the United
States Consul ct Lambayeque, has for,
warded a dispatch to the American
Minister in Lima, from which is taken
the following interesting description OF
the flood in Larhbayeque:
This place has been almost totally
destroyed by the inundation from the
rivers and from the fearfully heavy
rains that have poured down for four
teen days without intermission. The
few houses that are still standing are
but crumblizg walls, and unsafe to live
in. We are without communication
with other towns except by means OF
two small RATS and two boats brought
by the people Of the port Of San Jose
and two scows made and brought by
some Americans at Terminate. The
greater part of the people are encamped
in huts, built of bushes, on the sand
hills and the Huacas-the boats and
RATS are employed in taking them away
to the Pampas, whence they may pro-
ceed to other towns nothing saved.
The water only came up to the door of
nv house, which is built on high
ground; but through the roof the rain
poured like q sieve, running all my prop
ertv. Persons with whom | had busl-
ness relations are reduced to beggary,
and thus lose almost everything l
possessed. To-day l have brought my
family from the sand hills. and the
American engineers and carpentsrs are
building me a bridge to enable me to
get my family, with clothing and bed
ding, to San Jose. An hour ago an eZ-
press arrived from the Governor Of
Terminate, announcing the breaking
away again Of the river of that
district, which pours its wa
ters into the river passing
through this city, and we expect, in
few hours, to be again flooded, and that
the remaining houses will come down.
In the street in which my house is sit
uated only three remain, mine among
them, but so injured as to be unsafe, ex-
pecting the roots to cave 10 any moment.
God help us and save us from another
shower Of rain with that we would re-
main without an article OF clothing:
For fourteen days we have been soaked
with water, and almost without food.
More than seven thousand people are
subsisting on the charity Of the neigh
boring towns, but that cannot last. The
haciendas Of sugar and cotton have sui,
fered terribly. Crops and cattle are all
swept away, and no hopes are enter
tanned of planting again this year. Six
months will be necessary for the waters
to subside and the land to dry. This
calamity is second only to the earth
quake OF 1868 at Arequipa.
As communicated in my last letter,
a half dozen other towns shared the
fate of Lam bayeque, so it will be easily
understood how great the damage has
been. and how severe must have been
the privations of the sufferers. The
government of Peru dispatched a
steamer north to the desolated district,
with some engineers on board, and
money, provisions, clothing, &c, for the
relief Of the many flooded out.

well as their own eggs and cocoons, Into warm

similar feats of intelligence. On the Wnole,
the difference in mental power between an ant
and coccus Is immense; yet no one has ever
dreamed of placing them in distinct, classes,
much less in distinct Kingdoms NO douoe

ate mental powers of many other lnsects; anu
this is not the case with. man and the higher
apes. But we have every reason to believe
that breaks in the series are the result OF many
forms having become extinct"
The most expert anatomists agree that. IN
ali, parts of his organization man differs less
from the higher apes than these do from the
lower members Of the same group. In re-
viewing the testimony which his evidenceat-
fords Mr.. Darwin advances the hypothesis
that man has descended from the progenitor
of the Catarhine or Old World group OF mon
keys, and that his birthplace was either in
Europe or Africa. Startling and revolving
to the pride as is this conclusion with regard
to the origin Of man, it is reached by follow
ing o chain OF facts Of incontestible direct
ness and ingenuity.
The latter part OF the present volume IS
devoted to discussion OF. the principles of
sexual selection, as illustrated in the lower
classes of the animal kingdom. The con-
.cluding volume, which may soon be expect.
ed, will continue this subject, and sunni up
the arguments in favor of the descent OF
man from the lower animals. The work is
