Peruvian Women and their Ways.


The life of the young ladies is very
retired. 1t is not considered proper for
them to go into the street unless ac-
compamed by mother and servant. Mar
ried ladies have more liberty; for in
stance, a girl of 10, if she be. married
Gas is often the case, can chaperone an
old maiden aunt of 60, while it would
be highly improper for this representa-
tive of SINGLE blessedness to venture
out alone. The manner Of dress is very
different from our own. Bright celors
are worn, and on a pleasant afternoon
you can see all the colOrs of the ram
bow in the street, and such profusion
of iewelry j an reminded of the old
nursery rhyme of the woman who had
q rings on her fingers and bells on her
toes. (" Mantillas are worn mostly,
though the foreigners still hold to their
own round hats, and the natives are
slowly adopting them, for they are be-
coming, and it is not in their power to
Withstand anything that adds to their
attractiveness but in the early morn
inr the streets are filed with these
black-robed figures going to prayers,
with little negro, about like Rene,
trudging on behind, also IN mantilla,
and carrying a kneeling-mat for her
mistress's use, as none of the churches
arc carpeted. There is church for
every saint. more saints than Sundays,
aud feast-days for nearly every We, k,
when all the business has to be sus-
pended.

A NEW DEPARTURE. IN MEDICINE
There are ''new departures" in medi-
cine, as well as in politics. The latest
and most successful of these is the bold
movement of DIR. Joseph Walker OF Cal
lfornla, who has actually had the effrOn-
terry to produce a vegetable tonic and
restorative, without any alcoholic basis,
which is curing disorders of the stem-
ach, liver, bowels, nerves and pulr2ona-
ry organs, with a rapidity that fairly
entities him to the anathamas of the old
school of physicians, and the praise
and confidence of the new. His Cali
fOrnia Vinegar Bitters may be safely
pronounced the popular remedy of the
age. When 1t is considered that this
new famous specific was introduced some
two years ago, its present sale, which is
at the rate of 100000 bottles per an
mum, can only be ascribed to its intrin-
sic merits. 1t is believed that the histo-
ry of ''patent medicines affords no ex-
ample OF a success so rapid and COM
plete. The community insists that this
success is thoroughly deserved, and we
have no inclination to dispute its die
tum. The voice of the people, if not
that of Omnipotence, is generally the
voice of common sense, and as they have
had ample time to take a sober second
thought on the subject, it may be as
sumed that, in this instance, their opin-
ion is creditable to their sagacity.

Sewing Kachi1es.

Wcman's rights aTe in danger Of being
assaulted IN very serious point, one
which is of much more concern to the
gcutIer sex than the right of suffrage or
Office holding. The sewing machine
manufacturers, whose patents will short
II run ont, are not disposed to surrender
their highly profitable monopoly without
trying to bring powerful lobby infu~
ence to bear upon Congress. The price
Of q sewing machine in the United Stat 3
is about twice the Price Of similar arti
Gle in Epgland If we multiply this
enormous excess by the number Of sew
ing machines sold annually in this couE-
try it can easily be seen that the mOnop-
oily Is worth millions and that the patent
holders can afford 70 distribute large
sums where they will dc the most good, y
after Cakes Ames fashion, in order 10
induce Congress to extend the time of
their patents. It is stated that good
machine can be made and sold Trofitably

826, 722 to 36,lI9, and the increase in
