ONE Of the fine charities of New York
which is growing in popularity every
year is the flower mission, which collects
flowers from all sources and distributes
them among the sick in the hospitals and
asylums, and at their homes when they
are too poor to buy them. They are i'm
partially distributed, without regard to
party, sect or class, and often carry mes
sages of kindness and suggestions of care
and comfort and love which are more
helpful and invigoratng than medicines
One excellent thing accomplished by the
mission is that it gives an opportunity
to 50 many charitable ladies t. visit
thoFe they can help and cheer. Last
year over thousand poor sick people
were visited by the hower-giving ladies',
who but for the flowers would have had
no excuse for visiting them. The ex-
pense of the mission has been only about
500 in six years, which is another rec
cmmendation OF it to public notice.
Then it gives young ladies something to
do which il calculated TO initiate them
into the deep mysteries Of sorrow and
habits of practical benevolence.

PROGRESS OF EvANGELIzATIoN. :
Bishop Whipple gives an accountfof
some tableaux given by tribe of west
ern Indians for his amusement They
were intended to show three phases Of an
Indians existence-thc wild, the civil
lied and the Christianized. The curtain
rose first on party of aborigines in
dark forest, nearly nude-this was the
native state; the second showed to his
delighted eyes the same actors, dressed
a. semi-savages, armed With rifles and
pistols, and grossly intoxicated. The
third was composed entirely Of women,
who sat meckly attired in black alpaca
dresses. They were evangelissd.

The somewhat singular announcement
is made in the San Francisco papers that
the general fund of the bonanza state of
Nevada is exhausted, and the governor
even can not get his salary. 1t is charged
that the managers Of the consolidated
Virginia mine have refused to pay their
bullloD tax, and this completely up-ets
the bnanccs of the state.

SAID, have not exceeded $25 1000.

public, has commemoratcd its semi-cen-

OSCILLATION is practiccd somewhat
promiscuously in Russia Somebody
writes: "The Russian ceremony of sa-
luting every one upon Easter with tho
sentence Christ is risen,' and kiss,
was carried out with much pomp by the
emperor and his court Precisely at
midnight, the hour being announced by
cannon, the car, his family and all the
court dignitaries, together with the chief
officers of the army and navy, went in a
procession into the church adjoining the
Winter Palace. Here, at certain stage
of the ceremonies, the car gave three
kisses each to the state dignitaries, the
general, aides-de-camP and the command
ing officers of the guard. Mass was then
celebrated, and the company dispersed" 4"

PEACE is again announced in Central
America. Salvador and Guatemala, af-
ter the usually bloody encounter, have
resolved TO establish permanent friendly
relations, which undoubtedly will be a
very good thing for all the five republics,
as the quarrel Of any two of them, usual
ly, involves a general scrimmage. In
this instance, Guatemala has NO thor
oughly whipped Salvador that the latter
republic is now entirely at the mercy of
President Burros, whose motive in inter.
fering with his neighbor was to continue
the weakening Of the clerical party, a
process which he has inaugurated in his
own country. Burrois is man of very
liberal and progressive ideas, and he has
accomplished much for Guatemala. As
the project for confederation of the i've
republics has failed, it might be well for
Burrois to negotiate for the consolida-
tion OF Guatemala and Salvador and
begin the confederation scheme in that
way. These two republics together have
an area of 200,2ll square miles and a
population of 100000.

"Perley Lumber has already attained cell
lebrity among the farmers within a radius OF AT
least 20 miles around the city as it has proved
in every case to be the best
Edward +. Perley commenced busin ess here
July LIST last, and by his enterprise and good
judgment in handling only the best grades OF
lumber, has in this remarkably short period OF
two months already pushed his trade forward
until it more than equals that Of any other two
yards-and bids fair to amount to Mt least five.
eghths of all the lumber sold in this market.
Mr.. Perley attributes his great success to his
perfect knowledge Of the lumber, and in making
that a specially. He claims that few men can
deal in grain, coal, salt, lumber, &C., and do any
one branch justice. The grain trade alone If
properly conducted is enough to occupy the
closest attention of even the shrewdcst men
and Ottawa and her trade is too large to tumble
several lines of business together.

Our city has been well supplied with amusc-
mcnts during the week, and in spite OF the I'M
favorable weather, they have been quite literally
patronized. The leading attraction, OF course,
has been Joe Murphy at the Opera House, who
has been drawing such crowded houses that at
least one evening number had to be turned
away there being not even standing room left
lie gave us his new play, Kerry Cow" which
seems to DC the Irish for Kerry blacksmith. The
play is simple in plot and structure, its chief
merit lying in the exubcrancc OF genuine Irish
wit which sparklcs all through 1t almost to a
surfcit. Mr.. Murphy has strong company,
without single weak member, and what with
much new and attractive scenery, the prcsenta-
ton has been highly satisfactory throughout.
Parallel with, but Of course not in opposition
to Murphy, the Bartels Minstrel Troupe have
been giving Ethiopian entertainments at Turner
Hall, to the infinite amusement OF very fair av-
erage audiences. The troupe is made up entire
ly of home talent, yet is superior to the average
OF travelling companies Of that class.
Both Murphy at the Opera House, and the
Bartels Minstrcls at Turner Hall give closing
entertainments this evening.
In addition to the above entertainments, a
very Enlightened" concert was given at the
Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening, IN
which Miss Carrie Whttlesey was the leading
artist, assisted by Mr.. and Miss Bartlett, Miss
Jordan and Judge Hopkins, of Morris, and some
local talent The music, of course, was OF the
very highest order, such indeed as to require no
small amount of musical cultivation to fully
appreciate. Miss Whittlescy was simply amaz-
ing in her exhibition OF the wonderful control
assiduous cultivation can give of the human
voice Her voice is rich and full, and OF aston
ishing compass. The others also sang very
nicely, but we have no space for details.

One of the boldcst of the numerous operation;
OF pickpockcts and thieves during the fair in
Ottawa this week, was the robblng of Mr., Brad
ford Field at the Rock Island depot on Thursday
evening. Mr.. F. had bought his ticket for La
Sale (whcre he Is at work and to when place
he was returning from the iair) and as the
o'clock accommodation came along, sought
amid the crowd that were rushing for the cars
to enter Il car, when he seemed at once sur
rounded by throng of thieves. They made a
dash at his watch and his pocketbook at once
He held on to noth as long as he could, but they
pulled and pushed him about so that he was
comparatively poweress and his pocketbook was
wrenchcd from him literally by main force. 1t
contained about $40 in currency, and II number
OF valuable papers; among tho latter two certlh-
Gates of deposit, one for S75 and one for 500
on the National City Bank Of Ottawa; also a
certificate of deposit with the Ottawa Gas
Works for $3.50, and another on the First Ma
tional Bank of Ottawa for $50; and other papers,
valuable only to Mr.. Field
Mr. +. is mainly anxious to recover these pa
pers, which cap be of no value to any one else
and he begs the thieves to do him the favor to
them, with no questions asked. His address is
care of Bruncr & Snow, Peru, or Ottawa post
office.
Daniel Blake offers $50 reward for the recov-
of a watch that was stolen from him on Thurs
day. See his adv. on 9TH page
Col Taylor, Utica, lost a watch coming on the
train from the fair grounds on Thursday.
Gabriel Ruger caught two thieves at the fair
