THE United States will never achieve its
mission until it absorbS the whole Of both
divisions of the American continent. South
America. divided up into fifteen or twenty
independent nations, is the scene OF contin-
ual wars and commissions, whereas, under
the benign rule of the great American Re
public il would soon become one OF the
weal,hiest and most prosperous portions of
the globe. The Philadelphia Press indi-
Gates the condition OF affairs on that part Of
our unclaimed heritage, briefly as follows:
Chill, Peru and Bolivia continue their war
about dreary desert and few mines of
saltpctre, Thus far there has been no bat
tie between the land forces, as the Peruvian
and Bolivian army has 10 ira
verse immense wastes and noun
tain frontier TO reach the northern
provinces of Chilli Great suffering would
be endured on such an expedition, as water
is scarce and the country is for the most
part solitude. Chill has respectable
navy, but the Peruvian iron.clad Huascar
is such q formidable vessel that she not
only holds it in check but has sunk some
vessels, burnt few towns, and inflicted
other disasters without injury to herself.
In the meantime, Peru is getting deeper
and deeper. into the financial mire, issuing
millions on millions OF paper money and
drifting rapidly into hopeless bankruptcy

woods to kill. Jesse Underwood was killed
while standing in his fathers
front door, day or two ago, by the IIol-
brook crowd, making four of the Under
woods who have been shot to death by the
Holbrooks within the last three months.
No one has been arrested or prosecuted for
all these murders, and probably nothing
will be done towards bringing the muir
derers to justice. A family feud has ex-
listed between the Underwoods and Hol-
brooks for many years, and their history is
marked by many deeds of violence and
bloodshed. They belong to class that is
curse to any community, and the killing
of all of the male members of one of the
families will, perhaps, be regarded as a
blessing by the people Of the neighborhood
in which they lived,

sewerage Of the great city Of Chicago is all

Illinois river and canal. The swiftness Of

capacities; but that iii equal to the work Of
disposing of the nastiness OF Chicago in ad-

the highest concern.

Our two eccentric contemporaries, the
Okolona States and Lemars Sentinel are
thus spoken Of by our digniicd Republi-
can contemporary, the Pioneer Press: "The
wild ranting of the Lemars, Iowa, idiot is
not regarded at the South as caricature Of
public sentiment Of the North. Some re-
spectacle papers contain quotations from
his paper and really believe that the wild
man of Lemars is the only man who ha,
the boldness TO reflect the rural opinion OF
the North. Herein consists the mischief OF
such foolish papers, whether published in
Iowa or in Mississippi, and the fact that
one offsets the other does not help the
matter in the least"

BURDETTE's VACATION.
From burlington HAwkeye

The summer is past. The harvest is
ended. The vacation is over. The summer
parties are broken up, and the summer
friends have gone home. The ducks we
shot ate still flying around, as happy as the
ducks we did not shoot, The trout we
caught are growing in weight and size
from day to day. The memories Of noun
tain and forest and sen linger to fill the
coming winter days with the gtacc Of sum
mer sunshine. No more the fond musouito
winds his mellow horn; the black ant
haunts alone the long, long deserted picnic
grounds; no good man settles on his
sand-bmlt nest. The grape smiles
out in ruddy bloom where
erst the strawberry Knocked the
languid pocketbook. The sound of the
agricultural horsc-trot" is heard in the
land as the honest horseman wanders from
fair to county fair, enters his horsein all the
races, under as many different names as
there are counties in the United States.
Again the Agricultural Associations are
making enough money on the gambling
privilege to pay the premiums ON needle
work, and sausage on the hoof Gone is
the salmon rod; gone is the book of the
flies; gone is the eternal economy Of the
pocket-book; gone are several things. The
