4 sad Country.
New York sun,

A gentleman who has just arrived in
this city from Lima, told a San reporter
Yesterday of the curious effect that the
war has produced upon the prices Of COM
moditcs in Peru. The paper currency
of the country has deprecated to such a
degree that it takes Sll of that money to
buy one of good, and many articles be-
ing purchaSable only with gold coin or
its equivalent, their cost has been in con-
sequence enormously increased. This is
the case with all articles sold by the for
eign merchants of the country, they hav-
ing determined TO conduct their business
only upon a coin basis. \ pair of shoes
for instance, will cost all the way from
S2j to $50 or SO. The gentleman who
impaired this information said that the
passage for himself and his wife from
Callao TO New York cost $4,000 in Peru
vian currency. Ordinarily the passage
would cost in gold for two or three per-
sons something over 500.
With the price of native products,
however, and with the wages Of labor,
rents and hotel and restaurant charges,
the case is different. While these have
advanced somewhat, the increase has
been more trifling in comparison with
the depreciation in the currency. Board
at the best hotels is not over 81 day in
paper, restaurant charges are in the same
proportion, and rents have advanced but
slightly. The result Of this singular dis
turbance in the equilibrium of prices is a
condition of things decidedly favorable to
foreign mercantile community and to
strangers well provided with coin. A
shopkecper will sell a hat for $50 in pa
per. and get two weeks board for the
same amount at a good hotel, or he will
sell $50 watch for $500, and pay Il years
rent of good house with it,
The experience of party of officers of
the United States war vessel Lackawana,
who took an excellent dinner shortly
after their arrival at the best restaurant
in Lima, was mentioned in illustration
of this peculiar discrepancy. There were
six in the party, and they had, besides
very good dinner, several bottles Of
wine. The bill for the whole entertain
ment was $50, paper, which they settled
by paying SO in gold. The wine alone
would have cost more than that in New
York.
The native population are compelled
to yield to the necessity of the situation,
and accept the paper currency without
changing their prices in proportion to
the market value of the money, but the
foreign population refuse TO do so. A
foreigner going to Lima now with little
gold could live comfortably for small
outlay. He could board at a first-class
hotel for 35 cents day, hire horse for
the same amount a servant for that much
a week, and rent house for SO or 81
month. The Peruvian house owners
who remain in Lima can get along for
the present, since if their rents are cut
but those who have quit the country in
consequence of the Chilian invasion do
not fare so well, with their incomes,
reckoned by the gold standard, reduced
to about one-tenth Of what they were a
year or two ago.

warm invitation. and said, earnestly:
81 shall surely avail myself of your

And he did go; not week passed
without bringing him TO the house; and
as the winter went by, n new light came
into Louie Ellesmere's eyes, making
them more beautiful than ever at last
she had found her king. Not a word
did he ever speak of what had happened
two years before, and she neversuspected
that he had recognized in her the girl
whom he had met that June day riding
over the hills. One evening, early in the
spring, he called and found Louie alone;
her aunt and uncle had gone out to
spend the evening.
"Miss Louie" he said, after they had
been conversing on different subjects, q
mischievous expression rising in his
eyes, "do you know that you remind me
so much of some one ! met two years
ago, under rather uniavorable circum-
stances?"
Over the girls face rushed bright
wave of color, but she said nothing.

in the wester part of the State and one
afternoon, riding about the country,
came across little girl on horseback,
who was preparing TO jump, what seemed
to me, dangerous looking stone-wall

strate with her even went so far as to
exert some authority, for which she
struck me with her whip, and in mo-
ment went flying over the wall"
He paused, and Louie, rising to he feet
went to his side.

quivering. 81 knew you when / saw you

sorry. and if you will forgive me -"
The brown eyes were full of tears.
"Forgiye you" he said. Louie, my
darling, look at me-"
She raised her eyes, luminous with the
love in them, to his; then dropped her
head on his breast, and he, folding his
arms about her, kissed her

the evening.

And they were both silent, too blissfully

Antique Dentistry.
Y. Y. Iimps.

One of the subjects which is now exer-
cising the ingenuity of the gentlemen
who compose the British Chronological
Society is whether the art of stopping
teeth or binding them together was
known to the ancients. The discussion
is still being carried on in the British
Medical Journal, and up TO the present
moment il would appear that the argu-
ment leans in favor of the deutistical
skill of our progenitors. Sir Gardiner
Wilkinson aflirms that teeth stopped
with gold have been found in Egyptian
mummies, and other learned gentlemen
hold vigorously that the thing is an lm-
possibility. DR.. John Gaigor, in joining
the interesting discussion, says that in
the Etruscan Museum of Corneto, the
ancient Tarquinia of Etruaia, and n
few hours distance from Rome, he has
seen teeth in skull bound together by
threads of gold cleverly twisted in and
out among them; and that he has seen the
same thing in museums in the Vatican
and elswhere. From these facts he pre-
sumes that it quite probable the ancient
Egyptians had more or less skillful dem
fists. His deduction is rather supported
by a gentleman who is positive that he
once saw in the Meyer Museum in Liv-
erpool the jaw-bone of mummified
Egyptian in which number of teeth
were secured by golden wire. II is
also claimed that the Hindus, 600 years
400. knew something about the art Of
binding together teeth that were dis

THEATRICAL people have stock Of
queer supersttious which are handed
down like the traditions of the stage,
and every one of the superstitions has
its story to recommend it to Credence
English ballet dancers refuse to perform
in a scent the peryading color Of which
is blue. Blue is bad luck and some silver
relief its foil. For an actor to trip
going on the stage the first night Of a
play is success. Sothern tripped in Dun
dreary, and no actress will receive a bo-
quet at the stage-door on a first night be-
cause it is a bad omen. When the BLACK
Crook was irst produced ut Niblo's it was
fortune or ruin to the managers. Whcat-
ley stood at the doors when they were
thrown open on the first night. A
woman and a child were about 10 enter
first. Wheatley caught the woman and
held her back 10 let man through the
iron gate. The manager explained and
afterwards conducted the woman TO her
seat. Success came. Rehearsals on sun
days are evil omens, and are discoun-
tenanccd by many players. LEO and
Lotus was rehearsed on Sunday, and a
death occurred in the company during the
rehearsals Of "Lalla RoOkh" at the Grand
Pm ofthe piece Jim Fisk enforced sunday
opera-house, and introduced Sunday per.
formances ofthe piece. The croakers Of
the stage were loud in their predictions
of disaster. Somebody connected with
the theatre would die sure. 1t was Fisk
himself, and this happened after the third
Sunday performance. Many PLAYERS carry
talismans of prosperity-small but care
fully treasured. Brignoli, however car
ries a stag's head, horns and all, with
him on his travels. 1t is inconyenient
but necessary to the tenor's peace.

IT seems that boy who uses firearms

brother, or playmate rever misses his
mark. An old rusty gun used for this
purpose is always sure TO be loaded, and
as certain to go off. A gun or pistol is
great favorite with children, and hand

Frederick Ehredt of Guilford township,
near Galena, Illinois, who woke up one
morning and tried to get his brother
George out Of bed. George was sleepy
and would not get up. Frederick went

room, and threatening his brother George
to shoot him if he didnot bounce. George
didn't bounce; he thought he knew the
gun was not loaded, as well as his broth

aim and fired, giving his brother heroic
treatment for laziness. The loud report
was astounding to Frederick. but George
did not heaI it, neither did he get up,
and now he sleeps soundly under the sod
IN the little churchyard in the valley.
Frederick sleeps alone, if he sleeps at all
Tor thinking of how he playfully became
iratricide. IL is remarkable fact
that these fatal accidents with firearms
are not warnings. Every boy appears to
think that his particular gun will prove
an exception to the rule that firearms in
the hands Of children are unfailingly
loaded, never miss fire, and always
kill.

CLOVER AND RYE FOR HORSES In my
experience, says writer, have found
nothing so profitable for hog pasture as
clover and rye, and think rye preferable
and the reason they are better than timothy,
blue grass and all similar grasses is they
remain more tender for a longer period
than other grasses, which so soon become
wiry and hard, partaking of the nature of
nay. and / have never known hogs to
thrive on it, although other stock does. To
use rye proftsbly for pasture, fall rye
should be sown for spring pasture and
spring rye for later pasture, and by not
pasturing too long and too close there will
be Considerable head out, which when ripe
will, with the weeds that naturally grow
among grain, make good pasture until
time to commence feeding corn, at least
such is my experience. As to using any
OF the grasses for hog pasture, would
prefer weed pasture, and l will here say
that am of opiUion If some of the weeds
so eagerly eaten by hogs were domesticated
and properly cultivated they would prove
more satisfactory for hog pasture than any
thing used of grass kind.
