Tidal wave at Callao.

Accounts from Callao of a tidal wave
say the alarm is indescribable and the dam
age incalculable.
The oldest inhabitants state they have
never seen anything compared with the
scenes of Sunday and Monday, January 9th
and 2Sth.
The sea was covered with floating debris,
and the immense waves, thirty and forty
feet high, broke over the mole and along
the whole coast line, spreading havoc and
destruction around them. Most of the
wooden structures builtfor the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company, and for other pur-
poses, have been swept away. Coal for the
English Company, two Thousand tons, has
disappeared, and merchandise ON the docks
has been completely ruined. The wheat
mole, the Chucinto mole, and the Meiggs
mole are destroyed. Various timber yards,
coal deposits and bathing establishments
are greatly damaged.
The railroad running from the dock to
Chucinto has been completely undermined
Eight persons were drowned. At Pisagua
the condenser was broken to pieces, and a
considerable quantity of coal and saltpeter
lost.
In Iquique the earthquake shock was
terrific, and threw the whole town into a
state of CONSERVATION and alarm. It lasted
one minute and thirty seconds. This main
shock was followed during the night by
forty minor shocks.
Landslides are reported along the rail
road. In La Noria several houses fell, and
the steamer Karnak is reported lost.

Truman Harmony, you look sad,"
said his Honor to the first prisoner out.
1t was a tall, lathy, spindlelegged
man, whose eyes had a hollow look and
whose voice was that of a child crying
out in the night for bread and butter
with sugar on it. He blew his nose in
that of-hand manner which betrays a
wounded heart and replied:
WasI doing anything when they ar
rested me ?"
Eyes, you were seated on a faded and
timeworn dry goods box, shedding tears
and sobbing like a pine tree in Novem-
Der. When the officers asked the cause
of your sorrow you wept the more. You
refused to give your name and place of
residence, and believing you to be either
drunk or crazy, you were sleighrided

to ease your bursting heart. That will

"No-no-she won'tl" gasped the
man as he took a paper from his pocket
and placed it on the desk.
He had tried it, as follows:

not to disturb you any more"
He went.

While workmen were engaged in raising

Thomas G. Anderson, of the Returning
Board, was called before the bar at New
Orleans, on February %. The motion to
default Judgment was overruled, and when
askedif he had anything to offer before sen.
tence, Anderson said that he considered his
case a cruel persecution under the forms of
law; that he was in the power of the Court,
and ready to receive sentence. Judge
Whitaker answered that the accused had
had a fair trial before an impartial Jury,
and that the verdict was fully justified by
the evidence. He then sentenced Ander-
son, in consequence of the recommends
ton of the jury to the mercy of the Court,
to the lowest term under the law, to two
years athardlab in the State Penitentiary,
and costs. A s~uspensive appeal was
granted, retnrnable on Wednesday. A
motion to ransfer the case of Wells, Ken
ner and Casanave to the United States Court
was filed, to be heard on Wednesday March 6.

That Strange Woman, Clara Morris.

dramatic News.I
The same painful and yet sensational
interest.which has attached to all Miss
Morris's latter day appearances was pres
emit on Monday night. The assumed
suffering of Jane Eyre wa intensified
by the real suffering of Clara Morris,
and it seemed at times as if she would
be unable to carry the performance to
an end. We have before commented on
the barbarity of this spectacle of an
agonizing woman striving through her
real tears to assimulate herself a fc-
titious character. In the third act, what
was to be a simulated fainting fit became
almost a real one, and the audible groans
of the woman lent a strange and painful
aspect to the performance. A cup of
medicine was brought on the stage, and
not until Miss Morris had drank
copiously from it did she recover the
vital energy to go on with her part.
The curtain remained down t~hirty-two
minutes between the first and second
acts, twenty-seven minutes between the
second and the third, and something
over twenty minutes between each Of
the others. We therefore have, besides
the sight of real genius in Miss Morris,
the constant though morbid interest in
seeing her which is described by
Eugene Sue in the case of the English
man who follows the wild beast tanner
Morok, whenever he exhibits, in the GER
tainty of at last seeing him eaten up.
Every time we see Miss Morris we feel
hat it may be the last time she is ever

ence by storm.

A dispatch from Constantinople, Feb. 81,
via Syria, gives the principal points Of the
fresh conditions Of peace demanded by
Russia. The dispatch fully confirms the
report from Vienna as to the proposed
boundaries of the new province of Bull
garia, which will include the country be-
tween the Danube and the Balkans, and a
portion of Roumelia, between the Black
Sea and Servia, comprising Sofia and Phil
lipopolis, a greater part Of Thrace and
Macedonia, and the whole valley of the
Martha, except Adrianople. The conditions
provide for an assembly of notables to elect
a Sovereign Prince for Bulgaria, whose
nomination is to be submitted for sanction
to the Porte and European Powers. The
Bulgarian tribute to the Porte is to be equal
in amount to the net revenue of the PROV
ince.
A Russian Commission is to superintend
the Bulgarian Government for two years,
and fifty thousand Russian troops are to oc-
cupy the principality during the same
period. The conditions also require a ees-
sion of Podgoritza and Antivafi with ter
ritory to Montenegro, Russia to have power
to cede the Dobrudscha to Roumania in ex-
change for Roumanian Bessarabia; c~essions
of territory in Bosnia and towards Nisch to
Seryia; prohibition of the passage through
the Straits to mef1-of-war, except in isolated
cases; absolute freedom of passage for mer-
chantmen even in time of war; payment of
an indemnity of 1,409, OO0, 900 roubles, to
v which Turkeys to cede Batoum, Kars,
Bayazid, Abraham and adjacent territory i
Turkey also to pay 10000 e0 sterling in

and Heraclea mines; ten million roubles to
be paid Immediately to indemnify Russian
residents of Constantinople; Turkey to re-
imburse the Russian capital invested in
Turkish bondsi also to payfor the mainten-
ance of prisoners of war, and the reopening
of the Sulina mouth of the Danube. 1t is
now believed Russia will accept four iron
elads instead of six, originally demanded.

Per Oceanic, from China: A terrible
disaster occurred at Tientsin. The refuge
house, in which famine stricken refugees
from the Northern provinces had assembled,
took fire, and of nearly three thousand
people in the building only about one hun
bred escaped.
The extremely cold weather that has pre-
vailed has had a fatal effect IN the refugees:
many of them have been frozen to death,
while thousands are suffering from INSULT
cientaccommodation andlack of food, which
cannot be supplied In quantities to meet the
demand.
Charles Judd, of the China Inland Mis-
sion, at Wachung, who had Recently visited
the famine-strirken province of Sheusi,
writes a heart-rending account of the suffer-
ing he had Witnessed. The Gov
eminent effort to supply food and
assistance is to a great extent nullifed by
the dishonesty of the officials. Children
are sold by hundreds by starving parents.
In the large cities of Houcheng and
Gucheng risings have occurred among the
people rendered desperate by seeing their
wives and children starving before their
faces, and many other outbreaks are re-
ported. In Pucheng the people beheaded

necessities.
The cold has been unusually severe
