A Fleeing Prestdent.

The steamer Poyta just arrived at Panama,
on the 9Th inst, having on board as pas
senger Gen. Mariana Ignacio Prado, presi'
dent OF Peru, who, accompanied by several
Peruvian naval officers, goes to Europe via.
New York. Gen. Prado embarked on the
steamer at Callao in clandestine manner
and under an assumed name. There was
no special excitement in Lima, no disor-
ders or revolutions in progress, or in imme-
date contemplation that could justify his
hasty and secret departure. His explana-
ton of the affair is that his mission was
decided upon at the last moment, and on
account of the excitable character of the
Lima populace the cabinet judged it better
for him to depart quietly.

CONGRESSMAN Cook has proposed
legislation in congress to make it harder
to own pistol than it now is. He
wants duty of $50 levied on every pis-
toll imported into this country, and a
tax of $40 on every pistol manufactured
here. This would put quietus On the
cheap toy pistol, but We DO not see what
this Georgia statesman's scheme would
effect. Every state has a statute, more
or less severe, against carrying pistols,
yet the law is practically dead letter
everywhere.

Lost Countries Found by Coins.

In citing the historical information
derivable from coins, the geographical
facts we derive from them are of equal
importance. A case was stated some
time ago in these columns, how an island
of the Egean, which has been lost, was
discovered by means of q coin, (the
piece not bigger than q halfdime,) and
how recent soundings proved the ex-
istence of this isle. There was lost
city which owes its place to coin. For
over a thousand years no one knew
where Pandosia WIS. History told us
that at Pandosia King Pyrrhus collected
those forces with which he overrun
Italy, and that he established a mint
there, but no one,could put their finger
on Pandosis. Eight years ago a coin
came up under the sharp eyes of a
numismatist. There were the letters
" Pandosia," inscribed on it, but what
was better, there was an emblem, indi-
cative of well,kn0wn river, the
Crathis. Then everything was revealed
with the same certainty as if the piece
of money had been an atlas, and Pan
dosia, the mythical city, was at once
given its proper place in Bruttium.
Now q coin may be valuable for artistic
merit, but when it eIucidates doubtful
point in history or geography, its worth
is very much enhanced. This silver
coin, which did not weigh more than a
quarter OF dollar, because it cleared up
the mystery of Pandosia, WAS worth to
the British museum 81 900, the price
they paid for it.

AN act of congress makes it punish
able ofense for the master of any vessel
arriving at an American port to land any
live animal not enumerated in the ships
manifest. A short time ago the captain
of vessel arriving at New York landed
an English pug dog. He had no inten-
ton of violating any law, or perhaps he
thought the law would not take notice
of SO trifing an animal as a pug dog.
In this, however, he was mistaken, for
upon complaint OF the custom officers he
was fined $500 for the ofense. The sec
rotary OF the treasury has authority to
remit fines imposed for violation of the
customs laws, and the captain applied to
him for remission of the fine. 1t being
made to appear that the captain did not
intend to violate the law nor insult the
peace and dignity of the United States,
the fine was RENTED on condition of
his paying twenty per cent. ad valorem
duty on the pug.

THE Russian census is to be begun this
year on the twenty-ffth anniversary of
the cars coronation. No systematic
enumeration Of the populatisn has been
made since 1858. The new census will
show the additions made to the popula-
ton by the conquests in Central Asia,
the Caucasus, Turkish Armenia, and the
Attrek region. If properly Icarried out,
it should reveal the number of exiles
that have settled in Siberia during the
emperor's reign, and should display the
migrations of the various races of Rus
sia; the latter being matter vitality
connected with the future of the empire.

ACCORDING to the Philadelphia
papers, an American named S. S. White
who recently died in Paris was the
man who laid the foundation of the un-
questioned superiority of American
dentistry, years ago, by his ingenuity
and energy. He went up to Philadel-
phia half century ago as an employee
of an uncle in a small manufactory of
instruments for the art of dentistry, then
in its infancy. He took hold with great
application and address. A dentist de-
scribes the false porcelain teeth of that
time as wretched limitations of nature,
looking like SO many split beans. His
success was marvellous, not alone in this
but in every detail of the business.
When he died he was at the head of an
establishment in Philadelphia which
supplied the world, turning out no less
than four million teeth annually.

EVER since the year 1872 tragic and
pathetic interest has been manifested in
the fate of Ihedosia Burr Allston. She
was the daughter of Aaron Burr, and
was probably the only person living that
the cold and heartless man ever really
loved. On the 30th of December, 1880,
she sailed in the ship Patriot from
Charleston, South Carolina, for New
York, and was never heard of afterwards,
1t was known the ship she was in was
captured by pirates, and there has al
ways been the possible fear that she was
taken by them to some island of the sea,
and prostituted to their uses. Now one
of the pirates has died, in poor house in
poor house in Michigan, and has con-
fessed the whole thing. He says all the
passengers in the ship Patriot were killed
by being made to walk the plank. Mrs.
Aston was among them. She arrayed
herself in white and made the fatal walk
with Bible in her hand without a
tremor. 1t was the dying sailors lot to
pull the plank beneath her. Her fgce
haunted him ever afterward.
