Mr., 9. r. Markham, to whom Peru is an
open book, gives a good account of The fnan-
cIal position of that country in the Geoqrapha-
cal. We give a couple items: The incxhaus-
tible mineral wealth of Peru offers an aban-
dant guarantee for the future, and we are en-
ccuraged to hope Peru will yet take its place
permanently alongside of Brazil, Chill ana
Buenos Ayres as q country Of high fnancia,
integrity. air. Markham values the great
southern Guauo deposits (7,4G0,000 tonsl
at ee5J,000,000. and sheW8 there are q million
tons more at Lobos de TERRA, Chimbota and
Santa, while near Casma 10000 tons more
has been discovered, The vast Nitrate OF
Soda deposits in the province of parapaoa
are looked on as practically inexhaustible, and
able in themselves, if the guano failed, to
meet all foreign engagements. Nitrate was
knoWF as a iertiliser 200 years APO. bus till
lately was too dear to think Of for manure.
The first Peruvian nitrate sent to England.
1920 was thrown overheard on account of
the excessive duty then demanded for it WAS
the bonding System not at work yetN In
1880, another cargo was sent to the United
States and then to Liverpool, but proved un-
salable at both places. Such is the risk Of
dealing ia a new article; yet in 1881 a third
cargo brought $50 a ton in England, and from
that time the demand steadily increased. The
difficulty whit in Peru was in the transport
to the coast for expectation. Don NJ. Pardo
has adopted a plan by which all the nitrate
establishments will become national property.
and the transit difficulty has been overcome
by railways The whole system of com
municatjon in the province of Tarapaca
includes $50 miles Of rail One deposit alone
covers so square leagues, and at a moderate
computation has Go, 000,0 900 tons of nitrate
enough for the consumption Of Europe for ages.
Since 1870, steam machinery has been intro
doced, and $500 cwt. can be produced in a
day. Potash, borax and iodine are produced
IN the same province. The quantity of nitrate
Of soda shipped from Pisagua, Meiillones and
lqniqlo last year was 7,229,507 QQiutaIs (tf
I0l3 Iba.,) or about $4,000 tons.
But Peru is rich in other resources besides
those latest ones of guano and nitrate. 1t has
vine, cotton and sugar estates 1855 of the lastl
in the fertile vaIies of the Pacific coast;
besides silver aad copper ores, sheep and
alpaca wool, wine, spirits, cinchona bark-aIl
Of which are among the exports. England is
by far the largest customer Of Peru nearly

chirography was delicate and. grace
full, the Language chaste, and the
signature, like his own fictitious.
After a brief and mutually agreeable
correspondence, time and u place
were agreed upon for meeting, At
the appointed hour the gentleman
was waiting in private parlor at IL
certain fashionable hotel, lady en-
tered thickly yelled. She came in
trembling and did not venture to
look up until the voice of the gentle
man, in respestful greeting fell upon
her ear, at which she startled CON
-vulsively, raised her eyes to the face
of her swain, and then uttered a sup
pressed cry,-a cry the tone of which
struck upon the gcntleman's ear
with sound not unfamiliar He
lifted the vail and looked upon the
scared face Of his own daughter,
whom he had supposed industriously
pursuing her studies at a school in u
town some distance westward from
Melbourne. The young lady has since
been installed as housekeeper in the
paternal mansion, and her papa is
not likely to advertise for Il wife
again until his daughter is. married.

The Ruling Passion.

A negro planter came up to yicks-
burg the other day, sold his cotton,
put his money in his pockct-book,
and started down the river Lean
ing too far over the guards, as the
boat backed out, he fell overheard.
His porte.monnaie which was in his
sidc-pocket, floatcd out and rode with
his hat on the surface Of the water,
while the current carried the negro
away. The yawl was lowered, and
assistance at once started toward the
drowning man, who, pcrcciying his
treasure floating of, raised his voice
and shouted;
"savc dat pockct-book"
But his head went under and he
disappeared. AS he rose upasain he
gasped:
"Dar's sl1S in dat pocket-boOk!'
Scarcely had he uttered the words,
before he sank u second time,
The yawl came within reach just
in time to rescue the drowning Airi-
can as he came to the surface for the
last time. AS soon as the water was
wiped from his nose and mouth, so
that he could see and speak, he ask
cd:
"Did--did you save that pockct'
book2n
"No!" was the response.
"Wcll, den," said The negro, re-
grctfully, "what de dcbbil was the
use Oh suyin' nlc?'

in his hearing sporting advcnturer
run thus: "I was fishing one day,

delicious trout, and soon caught IL
large mess. But what was really
surprising, not foot from the cold
spring there was one Of boiling wa
ter so that, when you wanted to cook
your fish, all you had to do, after
hooking them from the cold spring,
was, to pop them directly into the
boiling" The company all express

A murderer has just been hanged
at Sacramento who belonged to a
family of singularly unfortunate his
tory and evil destinies. Dave Tur-
ley was as desperate a character as
is ordinarily encountered even in
the lawless communities Of our Far
West and Southwest. He lived for
some ydars in Missouri, where he

Gus woman, ana conducted a saloon
that was the scene Of many bloody
fights. He was the terror of his
ncighborhood, always ready with his
knife and revolver, and frequently
using them for merely imaginary Of
fenses. Ho dcfcd the opinions of
men and laughed at the law. But
he met the wrong antagonist one day
in the person of shcriff's deputy,
who cut him up so badly that it was
a wonder how he ever got over it.
As soon as he recovered from that
affray he pulled UP stakes as one who
had no further hope Of glory in Mis-
souri,, and madehis way to California.
Near Roscville, in that State, last
April, he committed the cold-blooded
murder for which he has now paid
the penalty. He there shot William
Shaw for using some abusive words
to him; but Shaw was too drunk to-
know what he was doing, and, be-
sides, was walking away from him
and had his back turned,
Dave met his fate stolidly, evinc-
ing emotion only oncO; but that was a
most remarkable outburst. He went
to the gallows unwavcringly, and
there stood unmovcd while the moose
