Yesterday.
The New York herald., 1879-11-24

REALLY THIS Is EMBARRASSING. A preacher
yesterday alluded in feeling terms to what he
called the "HERALD Pulpit"-meaning the col
umn in which we occasionally mention persons
deserving charitable assistance. We have never
had the slightest intention of assuming any of
the duties of the pulpit; but when members of
the HERALD staff discover needy persons whom
the Church has overlooked it would be cruel
not to inform the charitable public, which will
always find the cases exactly as described.

The New York herald., 1879-11-24

OtK LIMA auNlces tnlS morning throw some
light upon the capture of Pisagua, which
was announced by Chilean telegram few
days ago. and which was the first engagement
on land deserving the name of u battle which
has occurred since the nominal beginning of the
war last April. At last the Chileans, elnbold-
ened by their successes at sea, have ventured
upon the dangerous experiment of confronting
in the deserts of Tarapaca an enemy vastly SUI
perior in number and holding the few avenues
of communication in that region Of desolation
The capture of Pisagua on Sunday, the I'd inst,
by the forces conveyed by sixteen vessels, was an
easy task, as they appear to have been opposed by
only nine hundred Bolivian soldiers and two Par
rott guns 1t is clear that the landing ut Pisagua
was a surprise to the allied forces, else O suff-
cicnt garrison could easily have been thrown
into that port. The retreat of General Buendia
TO the inland railway terminus at Aqua Santa
aud thence southward TO Peha Grande appears
to have been the most prudent step under the
circumstances, as the Chilcans have thereby
been lured thirty miles inland, within striking
distance of q well equipped allied army some
ten thousand strong. II will be no easy matter
for the invaders to overcome the heavy odds
against them or even TO maintain themselves in
tner POSITION NJ santa Catalina. We shall
doubtless soon hear of fighting in earnest along
the railway line from Pisagua to Aqua Santa.
THE WEATIER.-Ihe centre of disturbance
passed rapidly over the lower lake regions early
yesterday and last night was moving into the

tended by decided increase of wind force
throughout the northern sections of the country.
The pressure is rising steadily in the southern
and western districts. In the Northwest IL
remains nearly stationary, there being ndica-
tions of the movement Of another depression
over Montana and Dakota. Snow showers were
general throughout the lake regions, the New
England States and the northern portion of the
Middle Atlantic States. Partly cloudy weather
prevailed in the Northwest aud central valley
districts. The temperature rose i'm the lower
lake regions Middle Atlantic and New Eng
land States; remained nearly stationary ia the
central valleys and fell elsewhere. The winds
were from brisk to high ON the New England
coasts, brisk over the lakes and fresh in the
other districts. The weather oyer the British
Islands is likely to become stormy to-day. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will bc colder and fair. Tomorrow the same
conditions are likely to prevail

Irishmen resident here was much smaller
90 into Parliament with solidity equal to
what it has SO often shown here both
tories and liberals would have to bargain
with it for the passage Of any cherished
measure of their own. In the next British
Parliament the division Of parties will al
most certainly be at q point which will
afford chance for a united Irish represen-
tation acting with either party to defeat
every measure of the other. Liberals can
be defeated If the Irish act with the tories,
and tories if they act with the liberals;
and the purposes of tories and liberals are
so widely ut variance, they are separated
by SO much of party passion, that the like
lhood of their being able to agree long
enough to slaughter an Irish party is
very remote. Success for the present Irish
demands is therefore very likely to turn on
the points whether the leaders can keep
their men together in Ireland and make the
agitation hot enough to compel strictly
patriotic canvass and the return of men,
bers OF known fidelity to the common pur-
pose; and this, again, turns on their power
to keep the agitation within constitutional
and lawful limits: Any government like
that OF England would be glad enough ii it
could get an opposition like this committed
to the unmistakable ground of open revolt
and SO disperse it with musketry, and it
can only do this if the leaders lose their
heads.
Abundant preparation, It will be noted,

How Soldiers Suffer.

The London Times publishes terrible
account of the suferings of the European
soldiers marched back into India, from
Afghanistan, last June, through the
Khyber Pass. They had only one hun
bred and seventeen miles to go, but the
march occupied twelve days, the men
being able, from the heat, to march only
in the early morning, and the night
march usual in India being abandoned,
ffor fear of Pttalrks from the hill tribes
Although every precauti0n had been
taken, cholera broke out en- route, and
con reaching Jamrud and Hurri-Singka-
Boori, and especially as they made their
final marches, their distress was very
apparent; their clothes were stiff and
dirty from the profuse perspiration and
dust; their countenances betOkened
great nervous exhaustion, combined with
q wild expression difficult to describe:
the eyes injected, and even sunken; a
burning skin, black with the effects of
sun and dirt, a dry tongue, a weak voice
and a thirst which no amount of fluids
seemed to relieve. Many of these men
staggered rather than marched into
their tents, and threw themselves down,
utterly incapable of further exertion
until refreshed by sleep and food" The
medical officers were worn out, and
before they reached Peshawur, six officers
and one hundred and twenty-one men
had died from cholera in the second
division alone; more, perhaps, than il
would have lost IN severe engagement,

Furnishing Violation OF Marriage Vows.

The Indians are very severe in their
punishment of marital infidelity. Even
among the civilized tribes Of the Indian
| Territory, the ChOctaws, Greeks, Chicka-
saws, Cherokees and Seminoles, who have
flourishing churches and schools, adult
terry is a crime punishable according to
their ancient laws A citizen of Ala
bama has just been circulating among
these tribes, and says;
The Creeks have no marital laws, but
the Baptist Association adopted a
memorial on the subject, urging the next
council to pass proper marriage law.
Their custom allowed several wives, but
the churches have. so altered public
opinion that il iSrars TO find a man with
two wives.

THE annual report of the Chief of
the Bureau Of Statistics contains some
interesting matter The value of the
exports of domestic merchandise during
the last fiscal year was greater than du-
ring any previous year in the history of
the country. From 1868 in 1873 the
value of imports exceeded that of exports
in an average of about 100000, 600 per
annum. During the last four years, the
excess of the value of exports over inn
ports has amounted TO 1858, 600 900.
The exports of merchandise during the
last ten years have increased from 500
100000 in 1869 to S69S, 900, 900 in 1879.
The value of the exports of bread and
breadstufls during each of the last two
years has exceeded the value of the eN-
ports of any other commodity During
all the preceding years in the CONNER
cial history of the country since 1921

exports of merchandise, but, during the

constant, a staple, in fact, like the crop
