The "City of the Kings"

One of the peculiar institutions of
Lima is the police. They are generally
natives, and are armed with a musket
and bayonet, and dressed in q military
uniform. They are invested with the
title of celadore, and a most appropri-
ate appellation it is, for lazier set of
fellows cannot well be found. When
on duty they generally ensconce them
selves in some doorway, or corner, and
there, with their muskets between their
knees. and their caps over their eyes,
they beguile in sleep the hours of duty.
An earthquake may shake a dozen
buildings down near him, salvo of ar
tillery be fred. but these poor minor
things cannot awaken q celadore; and
he has no ear for the musical cries of
murder, help, and thieves. Hunger is
the only thing that can awaken him.
The old salts, who sometimes frequent
the streets of Ca1lao, often disarm the
sleeping guardians of the peace, and
parade the streets, clothed in their
cloaks and caps, and armed with their
weapons of protection. How would
such men suit in our stirring cities

but shrieking, savage, demoniac. On
they few-they kept straight onwards
they swerved not to the right or left
and they met like the collision of adj
verse comets. Down went the strong
steeds-down the furious riders. Ali!
surely this must be the end of all! Not
yet. See, the judge rises, tottering,
slowly to his feet, and his face still
wears that indescribable smile, un-
quenchable by all its blood, unconquer-
able by all its bruises. The colonel
cannot stand, yet he is not dead-he
writhes in his agony like a crushed
worm. The judge approaches, crippled,
halting, to his enemy-stoops, and
plunges the sharp knife into his heart.
He is the victor in the field of death.
Not yeti Hark! crack, roar, fall
the colonel musters also his expiring
energies-fres his last pistol-and ex-
claims in tones of hellish triumph-"I
told you to take care of you eyes!"
The Mortified spectators ran to the
spot. The antagonists were both dead,
and the right eye of the Judge was shot
out. The colonel was death in the
Eye!" to the last.

An Exciting Deer Hunt.
A Struggle with Wounded Buck I'm the
Water---The Hunter Diving for his
Life.

A Struggle with a Wounded Buck in the
water---The Hunter Diving for his
Life.
Curley Pete Quick, noted as a hunter
among a family of famous hunters, had
an exciting adventure with a wounded
buck in Big Log Tavern Pond, Penn,
He was on runway, and an immense
five prong buck ran into the pond, near
where he stood. Quick jumped into
his boat, and followed the deer, dis
charging both barrels of his rifle at the
animal. He says he shit it bad" but
it kept right on. Redoubling his eff
forts, he sent his boat alongside the
deer. 1t had got far out into the pond,
which at that spot is half a mile wide,
and very deep. Quick had dropped his
rife in the bottom of the boat, without
reloading. He thought the buck was
so badly wounded that he could dis
patch it with his knife. He seized it
by one of its horns and tried to hold it,
but the deer plunged at the same time,
and the horn broke of, throwing the
hunter backward, and almost capsizing
the boat.
Regaining his equilibrium, Quick
again seized the deer by the ehorns. The
buck whirled suddenly ndpulled Quick
out of the boat. He landed squarely on
the deer's back, still retaining his hold
on its horns. He was in a perilous po-
sition, long way from land, and his
boat lying bottom side up. He knew
from experience the danger of hand
to-hand contest with a wounded deer,
on land or water. If he could hold his
position on the deer's back, he hoped to
be carried safely ashore. But the deer,
by sudden ducking of his head, threw
the hunter over his head in front of
him, and the next instant struck him
with his fore feet. Quick saw that he
must fight for his life. Drawing his
knife he closed with the now frantic an
imal. He plunged the knife into the
deer's neck twice, and then it slipped
from his hand and sank, leaving him
defenceless.
The deer meantime had not remitted
in the least his mode of warfare, and
Quick's clothing was almost entirely
stripped from him. Finding that he
stood no possible chance with the buck,
he dove from it's sight, and coming up
some distance of, made for the nearest
shore, The deer did not follow, but
took the shore at another point and
lost no time in leaving Quick and the
pond far behind him. The hunter found
himself in most pitiable plight. He
was nearly naked and benumbed with
cold. Moreover, he was on the side Of
the pond opposite his cabin, and was
obliged to walk half way round, through
the underbrush, before he could reach
it. His wounds were painful, but not
serious. The buck was found dead the
next day quarter of mile away.

Leases.

A Judge in the Superior Court at
Baltimore has been explaining the
meaning of the provision IN lease
which requires that tenant shall keep
premises in good order and repair. The
word keep" he said, implied an obli-
cation to put the premises in repair if
they were out of repair when received,
and to keep them 80, for it would be
idle to stipulate to keep in repair what
is not in repair, and the covenant was
therefore equivalent to "put and keep
and deliver up" in good order and re-
pair. The words "good order and re-
pair meant such reasonable condi-
tion of fitness as belongs to houses of
the age, class, and condition, as good
repair for one might not be such for
another. The house must not be de-
faced, and must be used with proper
and reasonable care.

The Professional BOndSman.

What is q professional bondsman ?"
asked a New York reporter of Lud-
low street Jail officer.
"Why, bless me, dou't you know :?
There is lots of them in the city. They
hang around the corner of Centre and
Chambers streets, ready to Tgo bail for
any one who gets into trouble, and will
do it for any price according to the
mess a man gets into and the amount of
money he has at his commadd. The
usual tariff is fifteen per cent, but will
take less rather than lose the job. They
generally have middle-man, sometimes
two, so that the bondsman can swear
with clear conscience that he is not
paid for the service. Why, l have seen
batch of them together rigging one of
their number out so that he would make
a credible appearance in court, and in
order to do SO, one would take off his
coat for the bondsman to wear, another
would furnish the vest, another ex-
change pants with him, and others
various other articles until the best be-
longing to the lot had been selected.
Then he would march to court, and, if
rejected, hurry back to assist in dress
ing up another of their number, who,
perhaps, might be better versed in the
modats Operandi of bail l-giving, and in
his examination would steer clear of
the rocky questions his predecessor
split upon. They are usually middle
aged men who, in early life, have been
merchants, but now come under the
head of broken down, and are easily
told to professional eye by the shiny
gloss upon their broadcloth, and the
stove-blacking polish on their boots.
Oh, the sheriff's got 'em all down 'P.
B. on his books ; but sometimes when
one of 'em keeps away for long time and
turns up under another name, they
manage to squeeze him through. He
has to be awful careful. I remember
case that happened lately, where the
man is yet in the jail. Bonds were
given in the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars for the prisoner, the sureties swear
ing that they were worth seventy-fve
thousand dollars each, and everything
seeming correct, the sheriff was about
to accept them and release the prisoner,
when one of the old deputies came in
and recognized them as P. BIS. The
sheriff, with view to bring them within
the criminal law, never let them know
they were recognized, and proceeded to
administer the oath to them, but they
were just as wide awake on their part,
and had recognized the old deputy, and
fearing that he might give them away
as the boys call it, casually inquired if
residing in New Jerseymade any differ
ence in their being accepted, and on
being informed that it did, withdrew
from the bond without taking the re-
quired oath, and so saved themselves.
But for the chance visit of the old
deputy they would have been accepted,
and the sheriff made liable for the
thirty thousand dollars" "

MANY Cubans Arrested.

When the City of New York arrived
at Havana, says a correspondent, por-
ton of her passengers were arrested
Immediately on landing. Among those
thus arrested was niece of Albania,
who was searched for letters supposed
to be concealed on her person. Cores
pondence duplicating a score OF the
principal Cuban families in the island
was found. No attempt has apparently
been made to conceal the plans intend
ed to be conveyed in cypher. The
names and plans of the conspirators
we're all found. An expressman named
BambaIler IN Havana, who was in the
confidence of the Cubans, had gone on
board to obtain similar criminal cor
respondence and had also concealed
number of letters in his under-gar-
ments, but on coming up from the hold
to go ashore he saw what had been the
fate of the other extemporlzed post
carrier and endeavored to throw them
overheard. Some lodged, however, in the
guards, and were thus seen by the po-
lice, who rescued those that had fallen
in the water, and when Bambal1er ap-
peared he was arrested and hurried
away with the other prisoners to Fort
Cabana, which is fortress correspond
ing to the Moro Castle, at the other
end of the town. He was to have been
shot the next morning, and the writer's
informant had little doubt, so great was
the feeling against the insurrectionists,
that the order was carried out. What
especially embittered the Spaniards
against Bambalier was that he had al
ways been conspirator, and had only
lust been released from the Isle of
Pines, where he had been confined the
past eighteen months for offences SINH
lar to this last offence.
The arrest of Bambalier and the Cu-
bans who arrived on the City of New
York was the signal for the immediate
arrest of forty of the principal Cuban
citizens in Havana and vicinity who
were implicated by the captured cores
pondence. The arrests were going on
up to the last hour that the writer's in.
formant was in the city, and universal
terror and confusion prevailed among
the Cubans still left at large. None
knew how many names had been men
toned in the letters in the possession
of the authorities. Flight was almost
impossible, and any attempt would be
proof of guilt. Their only resource
was to possess their souls in patience
and await the fate that seemed certain,

A new street pavement has been tried
in San Francisco. 1t is called "hydro-
carbolized brick, and is made of bricks
of soft, porous nature, which are
boiled in coal tar, which renders them
tough and nearly as hard as granite. A
road-bed is made by leveling the sand
and packing it with water. A layer of
prepared brick is then laid fatwise, each
brick being dipped in boiling tar as it
is put down. This is overlaid by a
second course of prepared brick placed
close together edgewise, each brick
dipped as before. The interstices are
then filed with boiling tar, and the
whole covered with thin layer OF
screened gravel. The cost is about
thirty-six or thirty-seven cents per
square foot,

A Fitting Rebnke.

There are manymen in existence who
deem it no harm to speak slightly of
woman according to their idea, ii
Is quite meet that the strong should as.
sail the weak. One of these robbers of
reputation received severe rebuke on
a recent occasion. At a dinner at which
no ladies were present, this man, in re-
spending to toast, Women" dwelt
almost solely on the frailty of the sex,
exclaiming that the best among them
we're little better than the worst, the
chief difference being their surround
ings. At the conclusion of the speech,
a gentleman rose to his feet and said
trust the gentleman, in the ap-
plication of his remarks, refers to his
own mother and sisters, not ours.
The effect of this most just and time,
ly rebuke was overwhelming, and the
maligner of women was covered with
confusion and shame.

Woman as q Student.

Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm takes rather
gloomy view of the co-education of
the sexes. She says that boys and
girls are now just as much competitors
in the race for learning as though they
were admitted to the same college halls,
as in her opinion they ought to be ;
but the girls are at tremendous dis
advantage, and fall early in the race to
fill untimely graves. The main reason
of this disadvantage she finds in the
fashionable dress of the day. She says:
By means of corset, band, or belt, her
liver is divided into an upper and q
lower section, the one forced up to
crowd the heart, lungs, and stomach /;
the other down to find room, as it can,
where there is no room for it. Every
vidal organ is displaced or cramped.
Blockades are established, by tight
shoes, tight gloves, tight garters, tight
corsets, or, still more murderous, tight
skirt bands and there the blood must
run by extra force of pumping, every
time it passes from the heart to the ex-
tremities or back. To study
in such costume is to burn the candle
at both ends, but the spirit of the age
is upon her the ages to come press on
her; study she must, and die she must.

Don't be in a Hurry to Go.

Come, boys, 1 have something to tell you;
Come here, would whisper it low:
You're thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in hurry to CO.
The city has many attractions,
But think Of the vice and sins;
But when once in the vortex of fashion.
How soon the course downward begins
You talk of the mines of Australia;
They're wealthy in treasure, no doubt,
But, ah there's gold in the farm, boys,
If only you'll shovel it out.
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high and then low;
Better risk the old farm awhile longer
Don't be in hurry to go.
The great busy West has inducements,
And so has the business mart
And wealth is not made in day, boys
Don't be in a hurry to start.
The banker and broker are wealthy,
And take in their thousand or SO;
All think of their frauds and deceptions-
Don't be in hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest;
The orchards are loaded to-day
You are free as the air of the mountain,
And monarch of all you survey.
But stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come in rather slow,
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys;
Don't be in hurry to go.

Finishing q POiSOner.

The Denver NeaOS, in characteristic
Western style, tells the following
story:
Last spring party Of buffalo hunt
ers, six in number, were encamped at
Two Buttes, about twenty miles from
the present town of Granada, in Bent
county. A man, known only by the
name of Jimmy" was their cook.
Soon after eating breakfast on the
morning in question, all began to feel
sick, and in a short while it became
evident that the food they had eaten
contained poison. They had recourse
to tobacco tea, which caused them to
vomit the poisoned food. Jimmy"
was suspected and watched. Recently
he was seen to put some white powder,
which proved to be arsenic, in the
coffee. The scoundrel desired to poison
the hunters to secure their outfit. The
hunters made target OF Jimmy" "
and when they were done with him he
wasn't of much use to himself or any
one else. He was formerly New York
rough, and his bones are bleaching
upon the arid plains Of Southern
Colorado
