THE WAR IN. PERU-The news that the
port of Unique has heen reopened under the
CHILEAN flag, the desertion of the Bolivian
forces from Peru and their alliance with
Chila. and the falling back Of the Peruvians
upon Lima for the protection OF that city
and CaIloa, is significant of a collapse OF the
Peruvian cause and an early close OF the
war between Chill and Peru. An alliance
between Peru and the Argentine Republic
is regarded as possible, hut not probable.
At all events, the worst of the fighting Is
apparently over. The rumor that the
Bolivians have sacked Tacua is not un-
reasonable, considering the character Of
their troops. Tacua is thriving town OF
about 1900 inhabitants. located on RIVER
of the same name. about forty miles north
Of Africa. 1t is 100 feet above the level Of
the sea, and is surrounded by an exception
ally fertile district of a limited extent.

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN CUBA.-The
Spanish Cortes adjourned Friday until the
10th of January, but not until the Senate
had passed the bill providing for the aboli-
ton Of slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico, sub
stantially as it was drawn by Senior Conovas
del Castillo and reported in the San some
days ago. The bill was actively opposed by
the tx. Minister Martinez CampOs and the
West Indian delegates generally, upon the
ground that it will not give satisfaction
either to the slave-owners or to the slaves
themselves. The emancipation act pro
vides for the liberation of all the slaves
after an average provisional ssrvitude oil
apprenticeship Of eight years, and Is coupled
with a very severe vagrancy act, undel
which the Jurisdiction Of courts martial il
considerably extended.

How Young Napoleon Died.

There is an ugly suggestion in the
story told by dutch witness who met
the Prince Imperial and his party as
they rode out on that fatal reconnois-
sance. He states that the party were &C
compauied by Zulu of whom no trace
was found when the English sent out to
recover the Princes remains. 1t ap.
pears, too, from this mans story, that
the Princes saddle turned when he
vaulted into it, as if the girth had been
either loosened or cut, and that the
Zulus must have been upon him be-
fore his comrades took to their heels,
leaving him, as the evidence of his
revolver cartridges shows, to fight des.
perately and alone for his life with his
savage assailants. If the Prince used
his revolver it is clear that Lieutenant
Carey and the rest of his fugitves must
have known that he was thus fighting,
and in that case the reported verdict
of the Court. martial dismissing Carey
from the British army S not to be won
dered at.

away from camp, while crossing what
is known as the dividing ridge, McNer'
ney signifsd his intention to diverge a
little from the course they were then
pursuing for the purpose of examining
Click" The others continued on
down the mountain.
A few minutes after they had parted
company, Jim McNerney came across a
bear cub. about the size of last years s
rabbit. He immediately gave chase
and soon captured it. So elated was
he with his success that he failed to no.
tice the approach of the maternal bruin
until she was within few feet Of him.
For a moment he stood undecided as to
how he would act, when, prompted by
that courage SO Well sustsined by his
massive frame, he concluded to adopt
young bruin, with or without the consent
Of his relatives. Acting on the impulse
he darted down the mountain with his
prize, its snraged dam in hot pursuit.
The race was short aud unequal. Jim
soon found himself in the rude embrace
of an enemy, whose power to inflict in
jury h- had underrated. His cry for
help soon brought the others to his
assistance, and not moment too soon
either. They found him with his
clothes torn in shreds, and SO badly
lacerated from the teeth and claws of
the powerful brute that he was quite
helpless. Whitenan and Campbell
arriving together, advanced within a
few feet Of their unfortunate friend,
and, taking aim, fired at the bear. AL
though both charges took effect, tue
contest did not end there.
With a savage growl she sprang up.
on Whiteman, bearing him to the
ground, :h- shock rendering him for
the time insensible, aud. had it not
been for the timely arrival Of Brown,
would in all probability have killed
him. Brown sustained his reputation
for cool courage and capital marksman-
ship by sending bullet through the
brain Of the plucky beast, thereby end
ing the contest. The wounded man by
the assissance of the others, succeeded
in making their way back to camp in
about two hours after the close Of the
contest.
Whiteman's injuries are trivial, be-
ing confined to few bruises. He can
now indulge good laugh in relating
the adventure. J. A., who is fore
