Her Arms Around Him.

The news of Mrs. Christiancy's state ment about her husband has evidently travelled very rapidly to Peru, as the minister is already beginning to inun- date departments with statements con corning his wife, and how she came to leave Peru without aid from him. He says that when his wife came on to him in Peru she was under the protection of MT. George Haight, an American resi- dent in Peru. Haight is man of fami- ly. He took fancy to Mrs. Christian cy and paid her a great deal of atten- tion. The minister ayers that Haight came too often to the legation, and that he was altogether too devoted to his wife. He acknowledges that he did have a scene with his wife, but it was occa- stoned by his coming into hissaloon one afternoon suddenly and finding his wife in HaighI's arms. Another scene that he had with his wife was upon the dis covery of a letter written to her by Dr. Victor Christiancy, now in Leaven- worth, Kan. in which the doctor ex- pressed himself more ardently than a stepson should. Mrs. Christiancy, in re- ply to this, says 1t is true Mir. Christian cy charged her with being in Knights arms, but that it only arose from his ex- treme jealousy. Haight was sitting talk ing with her in the legation parlor
 They were at Q round table. Mrs
 Christiancy reached across his arm for a book, excusing herself as she did so. At this juncture the minister came in, and, as she says, the memorable knock-down scene took place.. The Dr. Victor letter she admits; but as it also contains ref erence to the Chandler bargain and the money paid to Christicncy, she does not think that letter will be brought for ward very prominently in the case. ThaG Dr. Victor professed a great ad- miration for her is true, but that she has ever encouraged him is denied. She | says that her relations with Mir. Haight will bear the closest scrutiny. She com plains that Minister Christiancy, when he sent for her to come to Peru, did not furnish her any travelling companion, not even maid. A Spaniard on board the steamer annoyed her very much by his insolent attention, and Mir. Haight, ge 1tleman vouched for by the cap tain, was the means of protecting her from the troublesome Spaniard. Minis ter Christiancy, at the end of the voy- age, thanked Mir. Haieht for what he had done, and cordially invited him to the legation. -

Extravaganza.
 .. r.s.

The luxury of the present day as far exceeds the luxury of 1866 as the arts which minister to the senses have gone far beyond the invention and ingenuity of that time. Never in the history of this republic has wealth been able to procure such an infinite variety of mat ter to please the eye, adorn the person, and tickle the palate as now. The newly-rich man, who could have spread
 his table in 1866 as q rich man can
 spread his in 1880, would have so far out shone all his comrades that they would
 have been ready to die with envy. The
 devices now employed for the display of wealth were utterly unknown ten years ago. "The newest thing" in what we may call social art sets the town agog only for day. Tomorrow brings a | fresher and more costly invention to spur the jaded fancy. The trades that | live on the extravagant whims and the
 vanity Of men and women thrive apace. Professional caterers say that there never has been q season in New York in which so many costly dipners and simi- | lar entertainments have taken place as l that which has just now passed. The customary old-fashioned edinner. party has given place to what is called a fete. | The guests sit down to table which IS | an elaborate work of art.

UNCERTAINTY.
BY JOHN MORAN.

Alive who dwell beside the sea,
 And hear it's inarticulate speech, Thatno one soul may wholly reach. Nor one ear compass utterly, Remember that the fluetuant sounds Which miss your heart, nor thrill you
 sense,
 May touch anOther's with intense Coniecture, owning not your bounds. As myriad streams conjoin to cast The murmurs of all times and lands, On countless alien sea-washed strands, And altogether blend at last, So those who different ways have trod, Of thought and speech, Of frost and fire, May, at the end of all desire, Come to the silence known for God. Wherefore alone. 10 you and mo, The sea abdes, not calm or storm, The truth, and moi the outwarm form But still the old uncertainty. And If two souls should haply come To where His oracles enscone,
 Would Love accord them some response, Or be to all their questioning dumb?

busily engaged in arranging the details of
his office. Upon spprsing him of the OBJ
