The South American Belliger.
ents.

The following account of the forces
of the belligerents in the war now going
on in South America is given in letter
from La Paz to German paper: "Pe-
ru, with superficial area greater than
that of Germany and Austria Hungary,
and population of 100000, has four
ironclads e. frigate, a ram, and two
MONTEREY, six wooden ships, three train
ing ships, five river steamers, and an
army of 5000 men only on peace foot
ing, but with the cadres of eight battal-
ions of infantry, three regiments of cav
airy. and two brigades of artillery, be-
sides 1000 gendarmes, and !, 200 watch
men (vigilantes). Chilli, with popu-
lation of 2,117 900. has two good iron
clad corvettes and four wooden war
steamers, besides some other ships
which are unserviceable for war pur-
poses. The armament of the Gillian
navy consists of A guns, and the per-
sonnet of 973 men. The Gillian army
comprises 1900 infantry. 1920 cavalry,
and 40 artillery, besides 5000 national
guards. Bolivia has no navy, and her
army consists of 1000 men; but it could
easily be increased by the system prev
alent in the country, under which young
and strong men are torn from their fam
lies to serve in the army. The popu-
lation of Bolivia is 1895, 000."

The House of Clay.

There was q house, a house of clay,
Wherein the inmate sat all day,
Merry and poor;
For Hope sat with her, heart to heart,
Fond and kind,
Vowfng he never would depart
TIL all at once he changed his mind:
Sweetheart. good byep He skipped away
And shut the door.
But Love came past. and. looking in,
With smile that pierced like sunbeam thin
Through wall, roof, floor,
Ssood I'm the midst Of that poor room,
Grand and fair,
Making q glory out of gloom:
Till at the window Knocked grim Care;
Love sighed: "All lose, and nothing VIM
He shut the door.
Then DER the close-barred house of clay
Kind clematis and woodbine gay
Crept more and more;
And bees hummed merrily outside,
Louc and strong,
The inner sflentness to hide,
The patient silence all day long;
TIL evening touched with finger gray
The bolted door.
Most like. the next steps passing by
viii be the Angels whose calm eye
Marks rich. marks poor;
Who, fearing not, at any gate
Stands and calls;
At which the inmate opens straight
Whom, ere the crumbling clay house
falls,
He takes in kind arms silently,
And shuts the door.

Raining Trees.

At the Cape of Good Hope, near Ia
BILE Mountain, the clouds come down
very low now and then without drop
ping in rain. At such a time, if tray
cler should 60 under tree for shelter
from the threatening storm, he would
find himself in a drenching shower,
while out in the open, away from any
tree or shrub, every thing would be as
dry as bone! The cloud or mist is
rather warmer than the leaves, you see,
and so, when it touches them, it changes
into clinging drops, which look like
dew. Fresh drops keep forming; they
run together; and, at length, the
water drips off the leaves like rain. And
this process goes on until the clouds lift
and the sun comes out again.-St.Nich.

Personal Appearance of st.
Paul.

M. Mezieres, in welcoming M. Renan
at the Academy. rallied him on the con-
fidence with which he described St.
Paul as short, with a small, bald head,
pale face, thick beard, aquiline nose and
piercing eyes, with black eyebrows
meeting over the nose. Nobody"
satirically remarked M. Mezieres, "had
known St. Paul SO intimately, and Mr..
Scorer must be right in alleging that
YOU have seen him." The Deb1ts to day
publishes a letter addressed to M.
Mezieres by M. Renan, who cites the
authorities for his portraits, viz the
"Acts of Thecia,'' written by an Asiatic
priest 100 years after the apostles
death, and evidently based on tradition;
a passage in the dialogue, "Philopatris-
Nicephore." St. Paul's own words in
seventeen passages in Corinthians and
one in Galatians. After suggesting that
the thorn in the flesh was rheumatism,
NJ. Renan disclaims any idea of carica-
ture, says he shall have need of inter-
cession of saints, and quotes the remark
of Capuchin friar, who, delighted with
his article on St. Francis, would say, on
hearing him blamed: "Oh, no doubt;
but he has spoken well of Francis of
Assist, and St. Francis of Assist will
save him. "There," adds M. Renan,
Z" is a powerful intercession. hope St.
Paul will add his in consideration of the
trouble l have taken not to represent
him rs handsome man, but to depict
him rs one of the greatest and most ex-
minds that ever existed"
The texts relied upon by M. Renan are
Second Corinthians, i. and g.; X. /, 2
and 10; XII. 6 and 50; xii. 5, Z, and
10, and Galatians w. ID and 14.-Parts

trip was to st. Louis and back; and it
was not half over before he was COM
pletely tired of water, and made up his
mind to leave 1t at the first opportunity.
He very soon had the ague in its sever
est form, and, receiving no sympathy
from his companions, was compelled to
work in the intervals between his
shaking fits. They told him he
wouldn't shake when he got q
little used to it. This was very
poor consolation, and did not by any
means have a tendency to make Dick
love the life of sailor. In this way
things went on from bad to worse dur
ng the whole trip. Dick would have
attempted to leave the ship, but then he
would invariably think of his being
bound out by his father, and expected
he would have to stay. At length,
however, the boat returned to the port
from which it started, and was bound
for New Orleans. When it touched the
dock it was after dark in the evening,
and Dick had already made up his
mind to leave. He carried his determi-
nation into execution, and was success
full in getting clear of the ship. The
walk across the country for some 10
miles to his home was the work of the
night, and the next morning he ap-
peared before his father. The latter, in
his joy at having cured Dick of his in
tention of being sailor, was glad
enough to welcome him back. They
visited the port again in a few days,
when it was expected that the vessel
would return, and, by the payment of
reasonable sum, the papers of indent-
ure were cancelled"
"Was Dick entirely weaned of the
sea by this adventureP" askei
"Well, can hardly say he was. But
he never talked any thing moro of going
to sea as sailor. He always has loved
to sail on the ocean, aud told me once
that he would much rather command a
naval battle than battle on the solid
land.''
The old gentleman continued his con-
versation on various matters connected
with the ex-President's family, and in
sisted that Gen. Dick was the most chiv-
alrous commander in the late War.
son one occasion, when a number of
Union prisoners were brought to him
separately to be questioned in regard to
the strength of the Union hosts, he was
astonished to learn that the severest
cross-questioning would not elicit any
thing. Finally he gave orders to his
Adjutant for the whole batch to be
paroled, saying that men who would not
reveal the strength of their own force
when placed under such pressure would
not violate their word of honor in regard
to parole. There was one man who
was brought in soon after, having been
taken as straggler, and he pretended
to tell all he knew about the strength of
the Union lines. take this man as di-
rectly as possible to Andersonville, was
the order; "a man who is so ready to
divulge the secrets of his own camp de-
serves only the honors of such place.

mined not to back out. According to
appointment, they went the next day to
the port, and there, incog, the General
and future President sought among the
various Offices and river-captains of the
dock for the position of cabin-boy for
his son. The search was not a very
long one, but sufficient to show to both
father and son all the disagreeable feat
lures of the low class of characters who
haunted the docks of the Mississippi
River ports in the old ante-bellum days.
The young man was bound out for two
years to the Captain of one of the small
crafts. The parting scene between
father and son did not display half the
feeling that either felt, but both bore up
well under the pressure. The ex.Presi-
dent departed for his hotel to remain
during the night, and the next day re-
turned to his home"
"Well, how did Dick enjoy his new
life?" asked, much interested, as the
narrator paused.
"He dind't like it at all. He had
never been used to much restraint, and
had been used to giving orders rather
than obeying them. To have his supe-
riors order him about came very hard
and, once or twice, when he didn't obey
just as fast as he should have done, he
was assisted with kick. He had come
to the ship with fine clothes on, and he
was twitted of being an aristocrat, and
it was strongly limited that he had been
forced to come because his father had
lost his property. This, of course, net
tied Dick, and he came very near hav-
ing several fights on account of these
taunts. He gained some reputation
with the rough men of the boat, finally,
however, by thrashing q fellow much
older and larger than himself. The first
