An American Family Massacred I'm

Joseph Brewer, an American citizen,
resided for several years with his family
on the productive island of La Mocha,
at the mouth of the Tirual river, which he
had rented from the Chilian Govern.

tude 38 degrees % minutes, longitude 3
degrees % minutes, and Mr.. Brewer
was rapidly Transforming it into valu-
able and productive farm. Several
varieties of wood, oils and fish were
abundant, and were exported and sold
not only in Chill, but throughout Peru
and South American countries. Two or
three vessels were employed constantly
by Mr.. Brewer to carry on his business.
He had already imported from the Unit
Ell States steam-engines, sawmills. qpri-
cultural implements and numerous other
elements of industry to cultivate the
land.
The island of La Mocha, which, be-
fore Mr.. Brower's arrival, was a wild
forest and filled with wild beasts, was
converted, through Mr.. Brewers en-
ergy, into an attractive garden. Mr..
Brewer was married to very hand

and was the father of two fine children.
Several months ago he went to Chloe
and engaged over 100 natives to work as
laborers In his hacienda. The article
OF diet given to laborers throughout the
republic OF Chill is species of beans
which is very nutritious, and is grown
IN abundance in the country. This was
the diet offered by Mr.. Brewer to his
men, but the latter were not pleased
with it, and demanded potatoes instead.
Mr.. Brewer told them he had none. and.
OF course, was not able to accommodate
them. The mob of native barbariaps
then became violent, and began furi-

the unjust rage of the assassins. They
then plundered the house and carried

the island. Selling one Of Mr.. Brow

George Albert Page Is the name Of a
remarkable boy, who lives with his
mother in a small frame house a short
distance south of Lakeport, a little ham
let near Oneida lake. He will be IA on
the 10Th day of January, 1879, and is
perfectly formed, with the exception of
his head. which is Of enormous size.
1t measures % inches in circumference,
IL inches from the front to the back, 8
inches across, 18a inches from ear to ear,
over. The forehead is Al inches high
and the face 10} inches long. The head,
which is twice as large as that of the
average person, is covered with black
hair. Another singularity is the eyes;
they are inverted. and he can only look
up. He cannot see anything below the
level of his eyes. The lid that closes
over the eye, instead of being the upper
one, as is generally the case, is the lower
one. The face otherwise presents no
unusual appearance The boy is feet
inch in height, and weighs about 80
pounds. He is in a perfectly healthy
condition, and eats regularly and in
large quantities. After each meal he
smokes, and would practice the habit |
were he allowed to do so. He |
was years old before he could raise his
head, and years old before he could |
stand on his feet. From his infancy un-
TIL nearly 6 years old he was almost a
skeleton in form, but now he is nearly as
well developed as an ordinary boy of his
age. In consequence of the strange po-
sition of his eyes, he has never been able
TO acquire any learning, and does not
know the letters of the alphabet. he is,
however, quite apt, and is quick to
latch the meaning of anything spoken
within his hearing, but cannot express
himself, and, invariably, asks his mother
what to say. His head, which is very
heavy, increases in dimensions as he ad-
'ances in age; and, when he reaches ma
urity will probably be one half larger
han at present. Here is an opportunity

through to see what could be done, and
To bring out our wounded at least. The
gentlemen had hardly explained their
mission, when Richard Pippin and II.
w. Terry sent in note that they had
permission to come in, and they did 30
promptly, and at once proposed to go
with Mr.. Chaplin and see Campbell Nor
gan, who was said to be in command,
and have the attacking party dispense.
They soon returned with tie message
that If we would petition the President
and Federal Court to pardon all their Of
lenses mp to date they would let us out.
We repeated that we could not control
the action of the Federal Court, and would
promise nothing that we could not COM
ply with; that we were citizens of the
United States and of Tennessee, and had
right to be protected; that most of
these men had come from a distant
country, some thirty or forty miles from
home, to pursue and attack us; and that
we had plenty of ammunition and help
was coming. I further stated to the
gentlemen present that / called upon
them as magistrates and citizens to see
that we were protected and exercise
their authority, and dispense the mob.
They returned to Morgan, who said
he heard that Davis would kill him on
sight, and he did this to defend himself;
that if the Government had any process
to serve on him, and would give it to
any person to serve besides Davis, he
would promptly answer to it, and give
bond, and would use his influence to |
correct the ways of his neighborhood,
md this should be his last shot, and
would make friends, and requested that
lis men be allowed to pass the road on
heir way home.
This proposition, of course, we had no
objection to, and his men, some sixty or
evenly, soon came out from their sta
ions and filed past, and went their way.

a Furnishing laundry. While conva-
lescing, in the depth of his gratitude.
Bartlett proposed to wed his benefactor.
She laughed at the absurdity, but her
preiudices were dissolved by The ardent
protestations of her lover, and the nup-
tails were celebrated. A beautiful boy
was born to then, but he died, and soon
after the husband started off on his
travels, ostensibly to seek work. Once
or twice when he got in tight places his
wife sent him money, but he finally de-
serted her and went to Boston. Wishing
TO get rid of his unfortunate marriage
he sought divorce, and learned that,
according to the laws of Illinois, which
forbid the amalgamation of the races,
there was no marriage. Mrs. Kemp has
followed him to Boston, however, and is
making it decidedly unpleasant for his
heightened relations, who think he must
have been crazy when he married her,

MR.. HENDRICKS IN WASHINGTON.
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT GENERA GRANT. TmE POT

TER COMMITTEE, MR. TILDEN, ETC.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUEE.l
WASHINGTON June Ex-Governor Hendricks,
who is on his way to Charlotte. Va for the purpose
Of delivering a commencement address, arrived IN
Washington this evening.
In speaking with friends Of the political outlook,
Mr.. Hendricks is reported to have remarked that
the elections of the coming Autumn viii be import
ant mainly because they may indicate the attitude
of the people toward the two political parties and
furnish the data for judging of the Presidential
campaign. He admitted that in the meantime
events might occur which would change the situa-
ton to such an extent that the Fall elections would
Indicate nothing of the great contest to take place
two years from now.
Mr. Hendricks thinks that the next candidate Of
the Republican party will be General Grant. lie
thinks he will be nominated because he will be the
strongest man to be found IN the party, and because
many of the Republican leaders have already
made up their minds to put him in the
field. This, he said. is the sentiment in Indiana.
The denomination of General Grant, IN his opinion,
will be followed by a fierce campaign in which the
old issues viii be revived.
Governor Hendricks expressed some disappoint-
ment at the failure of the Potter Committee TINS far
to accomplish anything. He said that he supposed
when Mr.. Potter introduced his resolution TO au-
thorze the investigation and did it in the face of
the public censure which had been passed upon
all attempts to revive the agitation of the
electoral question, that he had certain information
which was new, and that he had fortified him
self against every possible chance of fail
ure Up to this time, Governor Hendricks
admitted, the committee has not been able TO
present any such information. For tins reason ne
looks upon the inquiry as ill-adviscd and not
calculated TO effect the object in view. Gov
ernOr Hendricks said of the last Presden-
tiai election that all Democrats undoubtedly
believed that Mr. Tilden was elected, and that the
party through the machinery and construction of
the Electoral Commission, allowed that victory to
be turned into a defeat.
