session and to protect her citizens aud
their property. Then she declared war,
and as Peru was the instigator Of Bolivia,
or, with goad reason, believed to be,
she declared war against both Peru and
Bolivia.
Both the principal belligerents (ChiIi

will be considerable skirmishing among
these, like that on the 18th of April, with
blockades Of ports, aud, possibly, some
bombarding Of exposed scacoast places.
Chill has already done some bad work in
the way Of destroying nitrate and guano
works and depots, in which the sufferers
are foreigners, aud, therefore, innocent
strangers to the quarrel Doubtless there
will be more Of this, by way Of retaliation
and re-Tetaliation.
The war is likely to be carried on under
difficulties, for although the population Of
both Chill aud Peru are 10 high state
of enthusiasm, neither Of them has any
spare money; and moreover, the locality Of
the dispute is in a desert country which
can only be reached by arAies after sew

Selert STORY,
THE FISHERMAN OF LECQUE.
FROM THE FRENCH.

II you should be fortunate enough some
day to visit the island Of jersey, on the
coast Of France, the guide will, no doubt,
conduct you to the harbor of Lecque, one
Of the most picturesque sites Of this en-.
chanting island. An around, as far as
the eye can reach, stand out sharp rug
ged peaks from gigantic cliffs, where, on
one side, the face Of the rock is notched
and followed into gloomy recesses and
eaverns.
No part of the ocean in its course, en-
counters more terrible foes on which TO
expend its fury than at this point. All
the perils Of land and sea and tempest
seem here to combine, as on a grand, free
pleasure ground; aud this warfare never
relaxes its power; where the sea encroach-
es pitilosly on the land; where the rocks,
battered increasingly by turbid waves,
crack, loosen and plunge at the first roar
of the tempest into the abyss below, there
to add another hidden obstacle to nayiga-
tion.
Everywhere can be seen the wave, ban.
ching into fringe of foam as it passes
over sunken reef, aud il arrested by
some marine bank in its wayward course,
then it distorts itself in fantastic shapes
and tears asunder as if in eonvulsion.
Unfortunate, indeed, is the incoming

Imagination can scarcely set TOO high
the changes to the trade Of the world that
would be wrought by canal through the
Isthmus of Darien, and our lively con-
temporary, the London World, asserts that
the project is actually to be carried out.
1t says, that is, that company is on foot
in Paris to undertake the work and that
NJ. de Lesseps will preside. 1t is time
that the hero of Suez should should sigh
for more worlds to eonquer--or to divide
land If he has SO many ladies to help him
as the London World says that he has his
triumph ought to be foregone conclusion
An age that has seen the Atlantic cable
ought not to finch from Darien canal,
but the engineering difficulties are great
and the cost will be enormous. 1t would
be grand thing TO sec steamships running
from Melbourne and Hong Kong straight
to New York by way cf Realejo and San
Juan del Norte, aud if the spectacle is
denied to this age, there is little doubt
that it will be enjoyed by the coming gen
eration

THE B1voUAo OF THE DEAD.
BY COL. rnroDopE o'uARnA, OF KrsrrcKr.

By COL. THEODORE OHARRA, OF KESTucKY.
The munled drums sad roll has beat,
The soldiers last tattoo:
No more ON lifc's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And glory guards with solemn round,
The bIyouac Of the dead
No rumor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind,
No troubled thought at midnight haunls
Ofloyed ones lefl behind
No vision Of the mouows strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No buying horn nor screaming lfc
At dawn shall call to arms
Their shivered swords are red with rust
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner trailed In dust,
Is now their martial shroud-
And plentcous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms by battle gashcd,
Are free from anguish now,
The ueighborlng troop the flashing blade,
The buglcs stirring blast
The charge, the dreadful canonadc.
The din and shout are passed
Nor wars wild note, nor glorys peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture Of the tight
Like the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain
Came down the serried foe
Who heard the thunder Of the fay
Break DER the field beneath,
Knew well The waichword OF that day
Was yieory or death.
Full many a mothers breath has swept
Der Angostuns plain,
Aud long the plying sky has wert
Above Its moldcrd slain,
The ravens scream or eagles flight,
Or shepherds pensiye lay.
Alone now wake each solemn height
That fowned DER that d read fray.

Ie must not slumbcr there,
Where stranger steps aud tongues rcsound
Along the needless air;
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall he your litter grave;
She claims from war its richest spoil
The ashes Of her brave
Thus meath their parent turf they rest.
Far from the CORY dcld,
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
ON many bloody shield
The sunshine oftheir native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and heart, watch by
The hero's sepulchr
Rct on, cmbalmcd and saintcd dead!
Dear as tie blood ye gave;
No impious footslep here shall tread
The heritage Of your grave
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
or Honor polnts the hallowed SPOT
Where Nalor proudly sleeps
Ion marble minstrcl's yolccless stone,
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished year hath lown,

LIEBEe's CURE FOR NrKmpERANcE.-

count Of an experimental test Of Licbig'
theory for tho cure Of habitual drunken
ness. The experiment consisted Of q sim
pie change Of diet, and was tried upon
twenty-seven persons, with satisfactory re.
suits. The dict proposed is farinaceous,
and, in the cases reported, was composed
Of macaroni, haricot beans, dried peas and
lentils. The dishes were made palatable
by being thoroughly boiled, and seasoned
with butter or olive OIL Breads Of a highly
glutinous quality were used, care being
taken TO prevent their being sourcd 10

Of the theory, Liebig remarks that the

How the Chinese Fish.

A thousand years ago, the Chinese had
the same ideas in regard to the catching
of fish and the working Of nets as they have
at the present. On the coasts, however,
the general accepted system of procuring
fish is in vogue. The lakes aud rivers Of
China, especially those in the North, are
so abundantly stocked, that the sh-catch-
ers make their living by actually seizing
and drawing the fish out Of the water with
their hands. The man goes into the
stream, half swimming, half walking, rais-
ing his hands above his head and letting
them drop, striking the surface with his
hands Meanwhile his feet are moving on
the muddy bottom. By rapid dive, he
brings up fish in his hands. Striking
the surface frighteus the fish, who sink
below, aud thereby are felt BY the feet and
secured. Another curious method is some
times practiced on several Of the great
rivers. A man sits at the stern Of long,
narrow boat, steers her with paddle 70
the middle Of the river. A narrow sheet
Of white canvas is stretched along the side
Of the boat, and along the other side net
Is fastened so as to form barrier Of two
or three feet in height. The man keeps
perfectly still, while the fish, attracted BY
the white canvas, approach and are caught
in the net. The fishing eormorant is often
trained in this country to catch fish, and
are diligent workers, obcying promptly the
call Of their master On the rivers aud
canals near Ning-Po, Shanghai and Foo
Chow-Foo, the employment OF these birds
is by no means an uncommon sight, but
they are never to be seen fishing in the
summer months, their work being in the
winter, beginning always about October
and ending 10 May The birds have, Of
course, to be trained, which is carried on
in the cormorant breeding and fishing es-
adjustments, one Of which Is at distance
Of thirty or forty miles from Shanghai.
