In view Of the fact that the city of Lima lies
on considerably elevated plain six miles from
the sea, and that the fortified port of Calao lies
between, 1t Is likely the Gillian reports that the
people OF the Peruvian capital are abandoning
1t from fear Of threatened bombardment by
the CHILEAN war vessels are, to say the least,
little premature. Peru Is undoubtedly getting
the worst OF IT In her with Chilli, as she per-
haps deserves, but her decentralization can
hardly be so bad as advIces from the latter
country would have us believe.

CHRISTMAS.
nv 8. MINERVA BorcK.
Slowly now the shadowed vale
Is deepening into night;
The beltcd hills OF waving pine
Are dressed in robes Of white.
Along the sky. in purple Lies.
LIE distant mountains grey;
While over all In mellow light
The silver moonbeams play.
The mumur Of the waterfall
IA borne the vale along;
From leahess trees the signing breeze
Sends forth wintry song.
The heecy snow along the way,
The glad and merry chime
OF ringing bells, Of song and Viee.
All tell OF Christmas time.
As shepherds saw the light Of love
While wandering DER the plain,
Tonight the light Of love beams forth
From many window-pane.
Long centuries ago, we're told.
The infant Saviour lay
Within manger lowly made,
The worlds first Christmas day.
And when at eve the shepherds came
To look upon the child,
And sages sang their praise to God
Through tears the mother smiled.
That day a Saviour and a King
Unto the world was given;
While angels bore the news away,
Up to the gates of heaven.
Ring cut, ye bells. ring loud and clear,
Send forth the Joyful strain;
a marrv Chtistmas and good cheer
Throughout this Wide domain.
o thanks 10 God that we may meet,
When years have rolled away,
Our loved In heaven; o that will be
A glorious Christmas day.

. OF sIURDER.
A City EmpIoye Arrested,
Charged With the Murder of
VIM. West Last Satur-
day Night.

The supposed murderer Of VIM.
West, who was shot out about six
miles from the city, on the Cuba road,
last Saturday night, was arrested last
evening, and is now confined in a
strong cell at the station house. His
name is Allen jenkins, and he has
been employed for some time as a
driver of the city carpenters wagon.
In appearance, he is about
six feet TWO inches tall, we'll made,
scraggly redbeard and small blue eyes.
His character is good in the city where
he is known, and is spoken of as a So
Der Industrious man. He formerly
lived in the same neighborhOod with
West, who is his step,son-in-law.
jenkins was arrested while at work
near the court house yesterday, on
information furnished to the effect
that he had been seen going out the
Cuba road Saturday evening with a
shotgun on his shoulder, and hal bad
feeling had existed between him and
West for some time. Mrs. West was
arrested soon afterward and taken to
Jail. Jenkins seems confident that he
will be released as soon as heard, and
in a quiet way protests his innocence
Of the great crime he is charged
with committing. He admits that bad
blood has existed between him and
West for some time, but says it wal
nothing of a serious character. He
has not seen the murdered man, he
says, since the fever of last year, when
he camped near his place. A trial
