two little nations vow, like the Kilken-
ny cats, to eat each other up. In
the heosew for 10 July some details
are given of the battle of Tacna, in
which the allied army Of Peru and
Bolivia was defeated by the Chilians,
and the article concludes :-"The
defeat of the allied Republics has not
however prevented their inscribing
in their history another brilliant page
in tho memorable battle of the 26th
May 1880, when 5000 Peru-Bolivians
fought with courage and spirit against
10000 Chiians." This is certainly
trying to make the best of things.
Chill it seems has been endeavouring
to create a Gillian party in Bolivia,
and SO ultimately to break thealliance
with Peru. To counterfeit this the
party in power has made it an act of
treason to propose anything which
may tend to destroy the Peruvian con
nection. Such is the liberty enjoy
ed in a red republic. The Peruvians
rejoice over the destruction of the
transport ship "Loa" in the harbour of
Callao by a torpedo Of their own
-,~enufacture. 1t is also stated that
a tbo a2}ent citizen sacrificed his life
n NJ fact 1ne oi impents preceding the ma

the Chilians, according to the Quoa-
tons from their newspapers, make the
most terrible threats. By an odd ty-
geographical error we find at the head
of an article dated 10 August new
treats" and among these " treats"
which the Chilians dish up for their
neighbours we notice such highly
spiced morsels as thefollowing,
cat nee to Lima, in order to pass
there sentence of death on Peru" ''To
Lima, carrying in addition to tho war
rior's rifle, the scourge of the conquer
or" "To Lima, that we may place
our feet on their abased necks, as
a master would treat a slave" Let
us hope that these terrible blusterinGs
will end without the serious results to
which they point, and that the Peru
VANS will be wise enough to let their
southern neighbours enjoy their III
trate of soda in peace.

Continuation of the Meeting Of 18th
August $780,
The Chairman called attention to o new
item in the bill, namely SIS p. m. for an
assistant at the Postof1ice, Frederiksted.--
It is now 3 years in succession that the
Council has to alter the wording OF the
item No. 2. The Council maintained that
it was no Assistant for the Postmaster that
should be granted, but an amount to defray
assistance, as might be required in the dis
charge of the duties, and it was presup'
posed that such assistance could BIO obtain
ed from some one already employed III the
Customhouse for that increased pay.
No one else requested the word.
The Item No. 2: For assistance at
Christiansted and Frederiksteds Postofi-
ees, after previous approval of the Presi-
denoy and according to specified accounts
to an amount of S360-was adopted unani-
mousIy with s votes.
The Money Bill SO amended, for $2363
was adopted unanimously with s votes.

The following amendment was propoG-
ed by the Presidency.
ad 4 the words "Salary to o midwife
in the country districts $4,000
to be altered thus:
"for having qualified indivi-
duals instructed as assistant mid
wives $4,000"
Since Mrs H6yer has quilted
her position as midwife in the
country districts, it has been q
matter of consideration between
the Landphysician and the Ply
sicians of the Island, what under
the circumstances could be done
to remedy the want of assis-
lance at childbirths in the co.n-
try, and it has been proposed to
use an amount equal to what has
been spent for paying a midwife
for the country districts, for
having qualified individuals in
structed for that purpose, by the
midwife in Christiansted.
The Chairman pointed out that no
explanation is given in this amendment
for the change from what was hitherto
existing in reference to the midwife at
Kingshill it is only seen that the midwife
who had been sent home for account Of the
Public has quilted; he supposed that she
was under some kind OF contract with the
Presidency, but it did not appear how this
had been terminated.

be mole than double as high but if the
furnishing Of grass were to be given by
contract to one man, the price would no
doubt be less.-To the item No. 10 there
is an amendment TO increase $3.50 to $500

We learn from a very impartial
source that the Democratic meeting
in this county at Kingwood on Mon
day last was we'll attended. The
people turned out from nearly every
district of the county and the Band
performances were good. Mr.. Faux.
ner addressed the people in speech
of an hour and half, and was follow
ed by Mr.. Lucas in speech of an
hour. Delegates were appointed to
the Grafton Convention, also to the
Congressional Convention when that
shall be called and to the State Con-
yention at Martinsburg. The senti-
ment of the Democracy of Preston
in favor of Mr.. Faulkner for Gov
ernor, is said to amount to absolute
unanimity.

from the burning woods. The Are
departments Of both places turned
out and saved the houses from the
flying sparks, while the citizens
successfully fought the flames in
the woods by back fires, aided by
a change in the wind. IT is re-
ported that the flames destroyed
everything in and around Ham
monitor, Ellwooh and Egg Har-
Dor. The atmosphere was so thick
with smoke that it was difficult to
breathe. The vineyards in The
country from here to Great Egg
Harbor are totally destroyed. The
people have given up all hopes.
They are Frustrated by their Efforts

The frosts of last week did no
serious damage to vegetation in
this corner. tt f
There was quite large audience
at dedication of Broad Lane Chap
ell on last Sunday. Some parties
from your city were present. Rev.
Negley preached quite an affect
ing sermon from these words:
"And the Key of the house OF
David will lay upon his shoulder;
so he shall open and none shall
shut; and he shall shut and none
shall open.' e0I =
The schools in Falling Waters
district will close the 1st of June.
Vegetation is doing well, not
withstanding the dry weather.
We noticed that wheat on the up

A FACT WORTHY OFNOTTCE

1t is fact worthy of remark that
the county of Berkeley has never
been honored by State officer since
the first settlement of Virginia at
jamestown, in 1907, now near three
centuries. No State officer was ever
selected from this county whilst we
were part of the sold Dominion;"
none since we have been annexed to
the "new Dominion" The people
of this State now seem disposed to
tender to Berkeley the office of Gov
ernor. Shall we second their recon-
mendation or not? That is for
our citizens to determine for them
selves.

The time of holding the Republi-
can National Convention is but a
little way off, and the cohorts of
Grant, Blaine and Sherman are
straining every nerve as the contest
closes upon them. There are but
four more states to choose delegates,
and they cannot effect the result as
now decided. If the states which
have instructed for Grant, stand to
the instructions, there is no doubt
that he will be nominated on the
first ballot. But speculation is use
less now. A few more days will set
tie the matter, as the convention
meets June Sd.
