PANAMA, Nov. 24.-Yellow fever in Quay
aquil has caused from fifteen to twenty deaths.
A fire there destroyed four houses.
The revolution in Ecuador is quelled.
The peace conference between Chilli, Peru
and Bolivia three sessions has been held, U.
5. minister to Chill presiding and the U. S.
ministers to Peru and Bolivia were present.
Each of the beligerants recognized the necess-
ity for peace and the disinterested course of
the United States. Chill presented terms
which were for increased territory and the
restoration of the property AIKEN from Chill
ian citizens and the government. Bolivia and
Peru rejected the demands. Minister Chris
tiancy suggested that the governments of
Peru u Bolivia might have . proposition to
make and the representative d Peru moved
to refer the entire question to the U. ). gov
ornment for arbitration, its decision to be
final without favoring either party to struggle.
The proposition for arbitration was not &C
cepted by Chill. President Osborn in declar-
ing the conference ended said that he and his
colleagues profoundly lamented that the con-
ference should not have yielded to pacific and
conciliatory results.
A letter from Valparaiso asserts that an
order has been issued to the commander Of
the Chilian expeditionary force to move on to
Lima At an early date and in the meantime a
portion of the force had started on an expe-
dition against Ariquipa and rumors were cur
rent in Chembota on the departure of the
steamer for Panama, that that city had fallen
into Gillian hands. This report, however,
is generally doubted, as Lynch's contingent,
when last heard from was at Quilca, some
distance from the old Inca capital.

Local Sleight OF Lip.

Did you ever see a Pittsburger get a flake
of SCOT off his face? He never ruiz it of.
To rub off a flake of SCOT discloses the
stranger. 1t also leaves a streak of black
half an inch wide, in place of the fake of
SCOT as big as a three-cent piece. This is not
al improvement. The Pittsburger, to the
name born, blows 1t off. He Is an adept in
the art. If the fake nestles on his nose, he
protrudes bis under lip, gives one vigorous
Whit, and the obnoxious Pittsburg snowflake
leayes his face without a mark. Ii it lights
on either cheek, the mouth is puckered and
stretched around IN the direction of the smut,
with the unerring accuracy of a garden hoe.
1t is astonishing what almost inaccessible
portions of the face and head can be reached
by a native burgher in this way. 1 have seen
one who could puff a black spot off the back
of his neck. Sometimes the beauty spot will
nestle close in behind the left ear, where it is
apparently secured from q blow as a calm
centre. But the native simply gives it a puff
clear around his head, from left to right the
current passes over the left ear, caroms on
the right and comes back and picks up the
wanderer and blows him away. They puff
these sable flakes in any position, as easily as
a weekly paper puts the summer circus
Burlington Hapkeye.

The Funding Bill.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The Inter Oceans Sun
day Washington special says: Secretary
Sherman and Fred Wood, chairman of the
ways and means committee had several con-
situations In reference to %refunding. Mr..
Wood, who consulted with the members as
fast as they come does not believe that con-
gress will authorize a ond bearing over 8
per cent. interest. He does not believe Sher-
mar will object to a 8 per cent. bond, al
though he will not recommend it. He says
there IS no doubt whatever, that a 3 per cent.
bond will float at par. Before leaving New
York he talked with great numbers of bank
ers on the subject and says that they all
agreed that long time 3 per cent. bonds could
be placed at par. Mr.. Wood proposes to
push his funding bill at once and if possible,
pass 1t by the middle of January. Speaking
of the matter to-day, He says Sherman will
recommend the issue Of two classes of secu-
rites in which to refund the 5 and 6 per cent.
bonds that become redeemable next year.
The first bonds redeemable say in 10 and
payable in 30 years and the second, treasury
notes, payable in one W. and three years.
1t is my opinion that he will recommend that
the secretary of the treasury be gwen discre-
tionary power to effect this loan on the best
terms practicable and the rate of interest not
to exceed 81 per cent.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Dec. 5.-The cele-
brated case of the United States vs.. D. J.
Mccain ended last night by the acquittal of
the defendant. Mccain was a contractor in
the Indian department in 1876. when, it IS
alleged, he embezzled fifty-two barrels of
sugar destined for the Blackfoet Agency.
Secretary Schurz had McCann indicted in 1877
in the district court here, and personally at
tended to securing evidence for the prosecu-
ton, and, it is charged, Schurz visited the
Chief Justice at his residence to influence
him for the government before the trial.
McCann was convicted in 1878, but import
ant evidence being ruled ont, he applied for a
new trial which was refused. McCann was
sentenced to the penitentiary, but appealed
to the Supreme court of Wyoming and gave
bonds. In the Supreme court in March, 1880,
the decision of the court below was reversed,
and a new trial ordered, which ended at 1920
O'Clock last night. The jury was ont about
fifteen minutes. Among the witnesses for
the government was Gen. Smith, formerly
commissioner of Indian affairs, but now con-
sul-general to Canada, and several army Off
GERS and employees of the Interior depart
partment. The verdict is universally COM
mended.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Times has a
large humble of editorial comments on the
Presidents message, of which the following
extract from the Richmond Dispatch is the
most noteworthy :"Mr. Hayes libels the south
in reference to the negroes. We do not
stop to refute his false assertions OH this sub
ject, nor take notice of his twaddle about the
solid south. He asserts that which every
man knows to be false, when he ~pronounces
the new constitutional amendments to be a
solemn expression of the will of the people.
He knows they were forced upon the people
of the south. Humbug! OF all the men in
the world, he should be the last to touch the
subject. He who allowed his officers to
stump the country for Garfield he who ap-
pointed scores of Williams to Office that aided
in d%efrauding South Carolina and Louisiana
out of their vote for president in 1876 he
who allowed throe severe assessments to be
made upon all the clerks, male and female,
IN all the departments of the government, to
pay rascals for cheating Hancock out of the
presidency. Mr.. Hayes, let us say once
more, is a hypocrite. He is a pretty
fellow to open his mouth on the sub
ject of a divorce between congress
and the president. He touches polygamy,
and as a means of extlrpating it he recon-
mends the governing of Utah by commits
sioners that would serve as a precedent for a
like mode of governing the southern states,
which can easily be converted into territories
as they were a few years ago. The president
says an army of 10000 Is the least a country
can get along with and that If we are to have
a republican rule we ought TO have three
times as many. Gen. Hancock could have
got along with 10000. The president recon-
mends that West Point be put under officers
on the retired list. A blow at Gen. Schofield
and sop to the negro. White army officers
are never going to level themselves down to
an equality with sambo. The president rec
ommends that Gen. Grant be made Capt-Gen.
with all the title implies. He served;as president
and received $780, 900 for it. He served as
general and received as much for that service
we suppose. Yet he is still to be promoted.
For a protest from the south would insure
the success OF the scheme. We forbear to
common upon it. So much for Hayes last
message. Its tone bodies no good to the coun.
try, but we have some faith in his successor.
Mr.. Garfield can be a great man. Let us see
If he will be.

Mr.. Gladstone having been asked, some
little time ago, if he did not consider Tenny-
son the greatest genius of the age, replied
in the negative, and added that without a
doubt Disraeli merited that title.
Bishop Colenso is a man nearly seven feet
tall and of a massive frame. He IS sixty-six

Mr.. A. G.. Porter, the Indiana candidate
for Governor, whose good fortune it was to
lead the great fight in the critical State that
settled the Presidential election, is described
as a reddish blonde, with hair and full beard
silvered, with a dignifed bearing, and hand
some, open, manly face. He declines to OK
press any opinion as to the Senatorial contest
in his State, but frankly declares that he CAN
not himself, under any circumstances, be-
come a candidate. The people of Indiana,
he says, have elected him Governor, and he
intends to serve them to the best of his ability
in that capacity.
Mr.. Wade Hampton is sketched by the
Pail Mall Gazette as seated in the bow of a
boat, "piloted by a negro boatman and Gid
ing down the clear and sparkling waters Of
the higher James, fishing the rapids with a
fly and trying down the long reaches, with
a spoon. The General has a great reputation
as an angler, and works very hard and con-
stantly at it, priding himself on the size of his
baskets, which surpass those of all other
fisherman in that county. If you happen to
its no use fshin' thar: Old Governor Hamp-
tons caught 'em all out.'"
Secretary Evarts tells an anecdote about
John Marshall, who, when a fellow-passenger
in the stage coach exclaimed, "We are near
the birth place of Patrick Henry how could
he fail to be an orator when born amid this
grand scenery ?" replied "Young man,
this scenery has been here ever since Patrick
Henry was born but there have not been
any more Patrick Henrys."
Some one was telling a story of a lion hunt

can, on occasion, be formidable to man. "
''Oh, come, 10Y ~ said every one. eyes,

when one has eaten too much of him."
An Eastern exchange contains the follow.

Mrs. Garfield is a lady of gentle presence.
and of bright and cultivated mind. As Miss
Lucretia Rudolph she was an exceedingly
pretty and interesting girl, and her marriage
with General Garfield was on both sides one

Oft forgets his fellows then;
Observation-Disclosures, remember,
That your meanest kinds are men !!
Men Of labor, men of feeling,
Men of thoughts and men of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In a mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,

There are feeble inch-high sa%pplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
For to Him all vague distinctions
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Of the nations wealth and fame;
Titled laziness is pensionsd,
Fed, and fattened on the same
BY the sweat of other f~oreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and Justice are eternal,
Born with l%oveliness and light
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is O Sunnv right

Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,

The pupular impression, strengthened by

cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invaids, by depriving them Of

the gloomy, forebodiag countenances Of those
