prosperity of the other. 1t did not trouble
the East. that Westward the Star Of Empire
takes ivs way, since the Emperors Of the
West are to 50 large an extent sons Of the
East. He believed that the measures that
the convention had met to consider were
even more for the benefit Of the West than
Of the East. He hoped that at the next
meeting OF the Board Of Transportationka
chance would be given to one Of the Eastern
cite. to fesiprocate the hospitality which
had been 20 handsomely extended to the
Board during iis meetings IN the West and
he promised handsome reception to its
members il it convened next time in some

TIE Discovery OF SkELKToNs IL PKRu.-
A recent number of the OPINION National
Of Lima, Peru, contained the following in
reference to a remarkable discovery Of
skeletons, which has been reported BY
telegraph
I'VE are informed that the day before
yesterday an immense quantity Of human
remains were taken from one OF the walls
Of the old San Andres Hospital. In con
sequence of repairs now being made it be-
came necessary to throw down one OF the
walls Of the Chinese ward, which adjoins
the department named Our Lady of Mercy
and the laborers, to their surprise, found
that the wall was hollow and filed with
human remains. As was to be expected.
work was then pushed on more rapidly,
and our informant states that on that day
alone several hundred skeletons were re-
moved, and that the dresses OF all remain
ed in good condition On the following
DAYS the work of removal was con-
tinusd, aud We sre informed that already
between four and five thousand skeletons
have been discovered
1t may he well to remember that the
San Andres Hospital Was built in 1857.
under the protection Of the Marquis OF
Canete, Don Andres Hurtado, and 1T the
instance and by the advice OF a Spanish
priest named Molina. Since then up to
the present time it has been employed for
the charitable and humane purpose for
which it was constituted, and for this rea-
son the presen: discovery Is the more re
markable. How can one imagine that in
an establishment Tor the preservation Of
health such mass OF bones could inten-
tionally be accumulated? On the other
hand, how can We account for the perpe-
tration of a gigantic crime Of which NO
trace remains?
In addition to the above We may add that
the impression generally prevails that these
bones belong to the victims OF the lnquisi-
ton. They appear to be from one hun
dred and tity to two hundred years old,
and from their appearance lead to the
belief that the bodies were thrown into
the opening between the walls All the
skeletons appear to be clothed, and dresses,
boots and shoes are found, mixed with
large quantities Of wOmen's hair. A por
ton OF d Spanish missal has also been
found, bat nothing Of any value %
