Since the departure OF the last steamer for New

dence connected with the case are to be laid be-
fore DR.. schumacher, and his decision is to be
final.

that arrived here on the 18th instant from the
south, Is that there had been a terrible rainfall
pretty much all over the Republic, exceeding that
of any year on record, even in the northern de.
partments, where rain seldom falls, the railroads

the town OF Ovalle.
The Tongoy Railroad has SUSTAINED very serious
damages by the late rains. The iron bridges OF
Seca, Tague and Pachuga have been carried away.
Heavy land slides have also taken place on the
line.
WAR CLOUD.
The Gillian and Peruvian press have been good
deal excited over the news that Brazilian IRON
clad had bOmbarded the town OF Alvear, in the
Upper Uruguay, province Of C0rrientes. The al
legged motive was that some of the officers Of the
Brazilian vessel had been beaten and ill-treated in
the town OF Alvear and that the authorities would
neither punish the assailant nor give any expla.
nation to the cOmmandante OF the Brazilian ves-
sell 1t was believed that advantage was taken OF
the circumstance to bring on a war between Bra
I'll and the Argentine Republic.

ONE or THE COMMITTEE
In reply TO an inquiry, member or cue Investl-
eating Com mittee said that the committee would
meet on an early day this week. This was abso
lutely necessary, as the report TO the Examining
Committee had not been finally determined upon,
and some OF the members had not had time to
read 1t over. He thought II was very doubt
before the committee Tor cross-examina-
ton on his last statement There was
nothing that was regarded by the committee as
new IN that statement, and as they had asked Mr.
MOulton, with great earnestness when before
them, to state all that he knew IN ref
erence to this trouble, and MIR. M0ut0h
had then refused positively TO comply with
that request, they did not think that It was in-
cumbent upon them to invite nlm to come before
them again. The only important part OF his pub
lisned statement was that in which he states that
Mr.. Beecher confessed his adultery TO him.
Against this was the explicit denial OF Mr.. Beecher,
That the committee had In their possession from
disinterested witnesses testimony tnat showed
that Mr. Mouton on minor points. had made as
sertlons In his statement that quite out Of
harmony with the facts. had convinced them tnat
he was quite as unreliable o witness as Tilton,
whose evidence IN this matter had been dlsre-
garded by the general pubic for long time past.
This MEMBER OF the committee proceeded TO say
tnat while he could not assert positively that Mr..
MOult0n would not be called upon to testify Ia
reference to his statement he felt a strong per-
only waste OF very valuable time. lie was quite
certain that when the report OF the committee was
published IL would carry conviction to every can
did mind.

The ARCHITECTS NAME.-A certain srchi.
tect had to build temple it was TO be large
and splendid; and the architect was very anx-
ious That it should be known In after ages that
he had planned and built it. But he was not
allowed by the king who employed him to
write his name upon any part Of 1t. After
much thought, therefore, lie so cleverly arrang-
ed IL, that the building itself should, In hum
dred different ways, take the form of the letters
of which his name was made up. No one per-
haps, on just walking in, would notice any
more than the walls ard pillars, the figures
upon the ceiling, or the lines upon the various
ly colored floor. But after time, as he looked
attentively, the shapes Of letters would appear;
some large and stretching all across the build
ing; others very small, but all so placed togeth-
er as 10 spell the same word, and 1t would not
te long before-above, below, and all around
he would read, whichever way he turned his
eye, the name uf the architect Of the temple.
