Chill proffers terms of peace to Peru
and Bolivia which will probably be re-
garded by those powers as harsh, if not
impossible. From Bolivia she demands
all that portion of her territory fronting
the Pacific, in which is situated che nitrate
deposits which were the cause Of the war.
This would shnt Bolivia out from the sea,
and is hard condition. Peru is required
to pay an indemnity Of 5000, 0OO, 900 for
aiding Bolivia, and one of her provinces
is to be held in pledge until the payment
is made. Such sum could hardly be
raised by the Peruvians, as they are al
ready largely in debt and practically
bankrupt. The result of peace on the
terms proposed by Chill would, therefore,
be the addition of two large provinces to
her territory. There seems TO be no other
course open to the allies but to accept the
Gillian proposition. They can make no
headway against the plucky little republic
in the field, and the longer the: war con-
tinues the worse the condition becomes.
Peru, at least, is entitled to little sypPa-
thies in her misfortunes. Her ParticiPa-
ton in the dispute between Chill and
Bolivia was purely gratuitous- She hao

By command Of Maj. Gen. W. g. HANCOCK
Throughout the whole of General Han
cocks command of the Fifth Military
District, his course was uniformly con-
sistent with the sentiments set forth in
the order above quoted. Although in SUI
preme command, he sustained the juris-
diction of the civil courts and the purity
and independence of elections by the peo-
pie. He refused to organize military COM
missions to supplant the judiciary of the
State, and avoided all military interference
with the administration of civil affairs.
Under q rule so benefcent there was no
necessity for the arbitrary power, for obe-
dience TO the laws was the homage which
the people voluntarily rendered to an ad-
ministration 90 purely and wisely devoted
to the public good.

ment between the houses, and the angry
contest was likely to be adjourned for
further and protracted agitation before q
people already infiamed with sectional
animosities, Mr.. English, took the respon-
sibility of moving to concur in the pro
position Of the Senate, asking for COM
mittee of free conference. The excite
ment upon the occasion had scarcely ever
been equalled in the House of Represen-
tatives. Upon adopting this motion the
vote was 1O8 to 1OS, but the Speaker vo-
ted in the affirmative and the motion was
carried. From this committee Mr.. Eng
lish reported what is known as the Eng
fish BILL" which became the law after
struggle of unparalleled bitterness. Under
this law the question of admission under
the Lecompton constitution was in effect
referred back to the people, of Kansas
and they voted against it, just as Mr..
English and almost every one else ex-
pected they would do. Even so bitter
partisan as Mr.. Greedy then was, admit
ted, in his book, that the vote cast on the
proposition submitted by the English bill
was in effect to reject the Lecompton
constitution" Thus was the result &C.
complished which Mr.. English had con-
tended for from the beginning, and there
is no inconsistency in his record upon this
subject. On the final vote which admit
ted Kansas State he was still member
and voted for her admission.

An Angel Unaware.

A good many years ago, the father
of the present head OF Partisan pub
fishing house was offered o manuscript
by pale young man with large fore.
head. The publisher glanced over the
pages and saw that the work was in verse.
Without attempting to read it, he
handed it politely back to the young
author with few of the usual phrases
about poetry being drug in the mar
ket, depression of trade, etc.
II am sorry for your sake" said the
young man, impressively, as he peck
eted the rejected manuscript. Il was
about to propose to you contract by
which would have assured you the
right to all the future productions Of
my pen. 1t was fortune tLas 1 was
about to offer you-but you refuse and
so no more need be said"
The publisher, struck by his man
ner, reelected for a moment, and then
fastened after his visitor to call him
back. But he was too late - the young
man had already disappeared.
Never before or SINCE" the old gen
tleman was wont to say, "have 1 met
with a young author who SO fully be-
lieved in his own powers, nor with ono
that had so much reason for such be-
lief, for my visitor was Victor Hugo

Religion in the British Army.

Interesting statistics have been pre-
pared to show the representation of the
various denominations in the army of
Great Britain. They bring out the fact
that one hundred thousand men have
declared themselves a. belonging to one
or another of the various sects. Some
thing over sixty-six per cent Of them
declare for the church of England,
twenty-five per cent arc Roman Catho-
lies, seven per cent are Presbyterians,
and only four per cent belong to the
great non-conforming and other Prot
estant bodias. OF those in receipt Of
good-conduct pay, fully seventy per
cent belong to the church of England,
eighteen per cent are Roman Catholics.
seven per cent are Presbyterians, and
four per cent are Protestants. As re-
CARDS education, the church of Eng
land non-commissioned officers and men
head the list; seventy per cent Of them
hold school certificates, while the Pres
byterian portion is eight per cent, and
that of the other Protestants only four
per cent. The Roman Catholics, it is
shown, fail TO maintain their proportion
in the matter OF education, their per.
centage of men with school certificates
being only q fraction over seventeen
per cent, The declared Wesleyans "
are about four per cent.

Truly Charming.

A woman, to be charming, is not
necessarily q deep thinker, or particu-
larly good /; indeed, she must have a
spice of hypocrisy in her character in
order to play her part we'll. Mono know
better than she how odious the bare
truth is in some cases and she Will tell
" fib" amy time rather than say "a
pleasant things. She has good deal
of knowledge of human nature, and has
entirely pruned down the egotism that
makes woman utterly unfit for society.
She is naturally of quick sympathies,
and has an amazing power CT withstand.
ing eamui. In point of fact. she is more
trained and disciplined than many a
higher nature. She has genius for
making the best of everything and
everybody, and would put the world in
good temper with itself. She has a
deal of good nature, and consideration
for others, and talent for investing
trihes with an attractive form. She is
quick to recognize wit in others, and
has always fund of small jests at her
command but she never tells long
stories, or wearies her listeners with
small details of domestic economy or
private troubles. She never offends in
dress she lags behind somewhat in
adopting the newest fashions she is
never at the height-but she is never
out of fashion. There is q flavor of in
dividuality in her costume, for she is
we'll aware of the strong points in her
personal appearance and, with subtle
coquetry, she makes the NEST of them.
She enhances them, but she does it
without emphasis. 1t is one of the tenets
Of the charming woman never to be
emphatic. She never offerds in taste,
and holds it as the greatest sin to Lurt
the feelings. She never drives one into
corner never asks direct question I;
never pays direct compliment she
has delightful fashion Of insinuating
that she Is pleased and interested, and
always displays genial appreciation OF
her kind. She does not, however, be-
long to the tragedy OF life, and you
must not exact from her enduring SYM
pathy. Her eyes will grow dim and
her voice soft when she hears . tale of
woe ; but she will not allow herself to
be seriously disturbed by thu troubles
Of others-no, not if they suffer unto
death. She will not carry q burden.
In time Of trouble go to any one else
for comfor. and aid rather than to the
charming woman.

The Old Mill.POnd.

Who is there who has not in some
recess of the momory dear old haunt
like this, some such sleeping pond
radiant with reflections of the scenes of
early life? Thither in those winter
days We came, our numbers swelled
from right and left with eager volun-
teers for the game, till at last almost a
hundred strong We rally on the smooth
black ice. The opposing leaders choose
their sides, and with loud hurrahs we
penetrate the thickets at the waters
edge. each" to cut his special choice of
stick-that festive cudgel, with curved
! clab-shaped end, known to the boy as
the "shinny stick" but to the calm
recollection of after-life principally as
an instrument OF torture, indiscrimi-
nately promiscuous in its playful mo-
| ments.
How clearly and distinctly l recall
those toughening, rollicking sports on
the old mill-pond !! 1 see the two OPP
posing forces on the field of ice, the
wooden ball placed ready for the fray.
The starter lifts his stick. I hear q
wLizzing sweep. Then comes that liq-
uid, twitterins ditty of the hard wood
ball skimming over the ice, that quick
succession of bird like notes, first dis
tinct and clear, now fainter and more
blended, now fainter still, until at last
it melts into whispered quivering
whistle, and dies away midst the
ccraping sound of the close-pursuing
skates. With q sharp crack see the
ball returned singing over the polished
surface, and met half way by the nd
vance-guard of the leading side. Now
comes the tug OF war. Strange fun
What q spectacle Tho would-be
striker, with stick up-lifted, jammed
i'll the center of bosterous throng;
the hill-sides echo with ringing shouts,
and an anxious circle, with ready sticks,
forms about the swaying, gesticulating
mob. Meanwhile the ball is beating
round beneath their feet, their skates
are clashing steel on steel. I hear the
shutting kicks, the battling strokes of
clubs, the husky mutterings OF passion,
half suppressed; l hear the painting
breath and the impetuous whisperings
between the teeth, and they push and
wrestle and jam. A lucky hit now
sends the ball few feet from the fray.
A ready hand improves the chance; but
AS he lifts his stick youngsters nose
gets in the way and spoils his stroke;
lie slips, and falls upon the ball; an.
other and another plunge h0adlong
over him. The crowd surround the
PROSTATE pile and punch among them
for the ball. When found, the same
riotous scene ensaes; another falls,
and all are trampled under foot by the
enthusiastic crowd. Ye gods will

Sara Bernhardt.

The literary talk of Paris has cen
.ralized itself lately on o remarkable
newspaper, Paris Murcie. of which 2o0.-
OOO COMES at one franc were sold on the
first day, 1000 at twenty francs, and
II 600 at three francs. 1t was gotten
mn f.r the benefit of the inundated pop
niation of Paris, and has already real
lied aearly 100000 francs. The
writer's were kings, queens, and reign
ing princes, the great statesmen and
political men of Europe, and every
French author and artist of any note.
One of the most marked contributions
was that of Sara Bernhardt, of which
the following is translation:
"Ail the fairies were gathered togeth-
err around the cradle of q child. The
father and the mother we're listening,
with emotion and respect, to tho wishes
of each fairy. Child, thou shalt be
beautiful, great, and perfect i'll body;
thou shalt wear golden crowns and be
hero; the crowd shall acclaim thee
tAy admirers shall draw thy chariot;
thou shalt make them laugh, weep,
trembIc, and shudder; poets shall shed
their pearls at thy feet; musicians shall
tune their Tyres to sing thy praises;
thou shalt be loved by hundred hero
ines; poison and the dagger shall be
powerless against thee; thy renown
Shall traverse mountains and seas
"The mother had fallen on her knees
to thank the fairies, but the door opened
brusquely, and the fairy OF eternal
glory appeared.
90 cannot she said, take the pres
ents of my sisters; but in order to pun
ish you for your forgetfulness here is
my wish. The crowns of gold shall be
crowns of cardboard; he shall laugh,
he shall weep, he shall live but by the
will of another; even those who shall
have acclaimed him shall cruelty refuse

his laurels shall change on his head to
immortelles, and he shall die in sadness
and oblivion, leaving nothing, nothing
behind him.

terrified father.
