Peruvian Temples Of the Sun.

Otthe early history of the Peruvianf
we have but little knowledge, owing tc
that barbarian policy exercised by tbC
followers of Cortez and Pizarro, in de.
stroying everything belonging to the
tribes which they conquered. Like the
Mexicans, the Peruvians had advanced
in art, science and learning, under the
administration of successive wise rulers,
and their state archives contained his.
tories of their country, from the dawn
of civilization among them, to the period
of the conquest. But the superstition.
Spaniards committed these works to the
flames, because of their heather origin,
and we are obliged to depend almost ex
clusively on the truth of tradition for
the knowledge we possess of the history
Of this people during the Inca dynasty.
The most magnificent of all the Peru
Wan temples was that OF the sun at
Cuzzo. The mode of worship in this
emple was SINH, ar to that OF Heliopolig
n Egypt, where this great luminary
was adored. His golden image occu-
pied a large portion of one side OF the in.
terror of the temple. and before this the
worshipers Frustrated themselves with
rich offerings in their hands, which
were received by the attendant priests.
Two orthree virgins, selected from the
first families in their kingdom, were in
constant attendance, whose duty il was
to make oblations of wine to the deity,
and chant hymns of praise to the great
Father of Light. Like other aborig-
ines of this continent, the Peruvians
were nomadic tribes and gained a sub
Sistence by hunting and fishing. Super
stitious in the extreme, their objects of
worship were as numerous as those Of
he Egyptians.

SANKEY'S African Expedition.

The Rev. Father Carrie. superior Of
the Roman Catholic mission to the
Congo, writing from Landana, gives
some information respecting Mr.. STAN
ley's Congo expedition: The personnel
of Mr.. Stanley, he writes, is very
numerous. Beside Mr.. Stanley there
are a superintendent, an engineer, a
captain, several mechanics, carpenters,
ETC., in all twenty whites, of different
nations elgians, Americans, English,
Italians, Danes. The expedition has
recently been joined by a French natur-
alist, NJ. Protche. Many of the Euro
peans had already succumbed to fever
and the hardships Of the work involved.
The following of blacks consisted OF
about one hundred men-Arabs or ma
tives Of Sierra Leone and the Congo.
There are five small steamers and sew
eral other boats, with carts and other
machinery for land transportation,
wooden houses ready to be set up, etc.
The first station of Mr.. Stanley's ex-
petition is named Vivi. 1t is on the
right bank of the river about $50 miles
from the coast, and four or five miles
below the the first of the Gellala catar-
acts. When Mr.. Carrie reached it,
Stanley was away among the mountains
in the direction of the great village of
Vivi. 1t appears that Stanley sets out
on his excursions and returns without
giving notice to any one. While await
ing the end of the rainy season Mr..
Stanley is solidly establishing himself
in his first station, which is to be the
basis of all future operations, and ma
turing his plans for overcoming the
difficulties ahead. These difficulties are
SO great hat Father Carrie thinks it
will take years before the termination
of the terrible chain OF mountains can
be reached, and the second station es-
tablished at Stanley's Pool, 200 miles
distant. Mr.. SANKEY'S intention is to
ascend the Congo to the Lualaba, where
he hopes to find his Arab friend Thu
lib. Then he will explore the western
part of the Congo as well as the country
on its two banks, attempting at the
same time to attract the ivory trade to
Mboma.

Wasted

Some time since the whole nation was
startled by a terrible tragedy. Three
maiden ladies, who were sisters and
lived together in Chicago, resolved to
put an end to their lives. They DELHI
erately talked the matter over, anG
made arrangements TO accomplish their
object, and to avoid intrusion. When
the hour came that had been set apart
for the fatal deed, the heart of the
Youngest failed her. She sat above
shivering and moaning, while her two
sisters carried out their insane resolution,
and by their own act passed IRON this
world to their final account.
These women belonged to q respect
able family. They were people of edu.
cation, and refinement of habit and
tastes. They had lost no friends, 'suf-
fered from no disease. Their only
grievance in life was that they had re-
Gently lost a lawsuit which deprived
them of their income.
There was no earthly reason why, like
thousands ofother women, they should
not have gone heartily to work to earn
their own living honestly. But it APP
pears that they had been taught when
children that the object of life was to
make a display in the fashionable So
ciety oftheir town. When they failed in
this, so morbid was their ambition that
sooner than go to work, and SO lose
caste in the eyes Of their foolish, fashion.
abe acquaintance, they preferred
death.
This extreme case will, no doubt,
shock many a mother and young girl
whose actions and aims in life are every
whit as foolish and false. In order TO
YEA a certain trimming, or cut of gown,
II to visit in some petty clique in their
town or village, they sacrifice all tho
great and real uses of life.
We have seen a girl disappointed in
not marrying a rich man whose wealth
would have given her these paltry social
distinctions, as she grew older, settle
down into a bitter, selfish, wretched
woman. Was not this, too, self-mur-
Ter, and that of the soulp-Micd0o
LcdOeF.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Fashion Notes.


Bonnet ties are fastened at the back in
a double bow with two ends.
Suits Of blue chambray, In stripes and
plain stuff, are exceedingly pretty.
Paris satin looks like old.iashioned
glossy poplin and is very handsome.
Yellow pearls are used on the Tuscan
straw bonnets instead of white ones.
Steel embroidery is initiated on black
silk by trimming of slate-color d beads,
Eighty-one yards of silver braid is
not considered too much to trim q new
gown,
Newest of all dolmans is that wnlcn
has the sleeve form replaced by lace EN-.
broidered in jet.
Silk threads are woven into fine Flor
ence straws in imitation of the colored
strands in straw braids.
New petticoats have lace hounces al
ternating with ~jaconet in sections eni-
broidered in bright colors.
Cashmere lace when wrought with
gold thread, makes an exceedingly pretty
trimming for a black satin dress.
Polka dotted bunting and polka dotted
camel's hair are new stufis that are pro.
nounced prettier than cashmere.
Velvet brocaded grenadines in hello
trope color combine the attractions of a
fashionable tint and an elegant mate
rial.
Pretty colored cambrics with white
polka dots are made up for young girls.
The proper trimming is Russian braid or
Smyrna lace.
Handkerchief will be worn over the
shoulders this summer. but they will not
be of gineham like those Of fishermen's
wives, but Of foulard.
White hats faced with black velvet
and trimmed with the same material
mixed with white grenadine, and bright
ened b. a very little bright plumage,
are considered elegant.
Linen and foulard with polka dots en-
broidered in gold and silver chain stitch
is one of the coming fashions for women
who live only for fashion. 1t costs more
than a good plain silk.
Last summer was cool in Paris, and,
therefore, the French manufacturers
think that this summer will be hot.
This is the reason for the immense num-
Der of new wash goods sent out this
year.

An Interesting Visitor,

Says the Bodie (Cal.) NeUS: William
Mcdonald and family, consisting of wife
and two boys, living in a cabin in Pine
Nut valley, were suddenly startled a few
nights since, about midnight, by the
sudden crashing in Of the roof and alarge
pile of dirt that commenced falling on
their bed. The old man jumped up and
lit his candle to investigate, and found
two huge, shaggy limbs astraddle
one OF the rafters. Having no gun he
seized q sharp axe, and, getting his
family away from the bed, with a single
blow at each he severed them from
the body, the animal in the mea
time roaring with rage and pain and
unable to extricate himself from
the logs and poles that held him
a close prisoner, but scattering the
dirt covering OF the roof, and making
general havoc OF the cabin. In his strug-
gle one Of the rafters broke, and the
family made quick work getting outside
of the house; arile standing at the door
the old man grabbed as they went out;
this happened to be loaded. They con
cluded to build a big fire, and when
fairly burning, the glare and heat at.
tracted the animal to the door, that
proved to be q monster cinnamon bear.
His growls and groans were fright
full, and the old man finally raised
his rife within ten feet of his head and
fired, and the huge brute was dead.
Going Lack into the cabin a fire was
soon made in the fireplace, and the work
of cleaning up the debris soon com
menced. Atdaylight the bear had been
skinned and quartered, the cabin cleared
up, and the work of repairing the roof
commenced.
