News is received of the capture of
Lima by the Chilians. which is expected
will practically end the South American
war. The struggle has been hotly
contested one and has been prosecuted
on much more extensive scale than
was to be expected from the countries
engaged. When war was declared by
Bolivia, Chill had an army of some
10000, Bolivia Of 1000, and Peru of $4,000,
with fine fleet of iron-cads. Bolivia,
in whose interest the war was begun,
was quickly used up, and the Chilians
vigorously followed up their advantage,
driving the Peruvians from town to town,
until the regularly elected Peruvian pres
ident, Gen. Prado, became a fugitive.
Col. Pierola was elected dictator and in
fused some vigor into the management
of the war. The treasury was replenish-
ed and army after army was dispatched
to the South, while a plucky resistance
was organized on the sea. The last nobly
and holly contested battle before Lima
effected the overthrow of the valiant
usurper, and Peru is left without gov
eminent. A provisional government
will probably be organized, and the Chill
ian forces in control can of course exact
their own terms

TRAVELLING AGENTS.

tits pretty generally admitted that
commercial travellers, who enter In
more ways than one in direct COM
pitition with resident merchants
ought to contribute something to the
support Of the governments in whose
Jurisdiction they sell thousands idol
lars worth Of merchandise, with no
other expense than their board bill
and charges for carrying sample pack
ages, etc.
Many Of these agents after selling
to the wholesale merchantturn around
and sell to the retailer, and frequent
ly to the customers of both these
classes. All this is done scot free
from any taxation whatsoever.
Having observed in the License Act
now under consideration by the House
of Representatives. that travelling
agents, who are to pay license to
the Statc-are to be exempted from
licenses imposed by parochial and mu-
nicipal authorities, Mayor Jastrem-
ski, sent the following dispatch on
yesterday:
EATON ROUGE, Dec. il, 1881.
Hon. Samuel NJ. Robertson, House OF Represen.
tatiycs, New Orleans;
The proviso in the license act
which prohibits municipal or paro-
chial authorities from imposing IL
cense on travelling agents, will deprive
such authorities of the power to OBJ
tain revenue from that source and to
put such agents on an equal footing
with resident merchants, who, in this
city, are as far as know, in favor Of
imposing alicense on travelingagents.
1t is wise to impose such a license,
but unwise and undemocratic to pre-
vent local authorities from using their
option regarding this matter. Please
demonstrate against the adoption of
the proviso.

CITY VERSUS COUNTRY ASSESS.
MENTS.

SO continuously have the New Or
leans papers asserted that the me-
tropolis pays moro than it's share OF
the State taxes, that they have sue
ceeded in convincing that it is so,
not only her residents but very many
OF the country people too.
Hence the strength they have
gathered around those, who clamor
for some system that will raise as
sessments in the parishes.
Let us see how far this claim Of our
New Orleans contemporaries will
stand comparison.
Wen take the city OF Baton Rouge
Tor an example, which one of the con-
temporaries alluded to facetiously
qualified as u mere cOaling station,
some years ago.
The assessment of the property
contained within the limits Of the
city Of Baton Rouge, foots up round
million Of dollars.
New Orleans is down on the tax
roll Tor about one hundred and four
millions.
Surely, Baton Rouge does not own
rs much as the one hundred and
fourth part of the value OF the real
estate, capital, merchandise and per-
sonai property contained within the
limits Of the great metropolis of the
Southwest, which lines for fifteen
miles, the banks of the great Missis
sippi River!
If Baton Rouge is worth one mil
lion, we maintain that New Orleans
is worth at least two hundred mil
lions, if she is worth Que cent.
Consequently, if the rural districts
are to have their valuations increased
we ask that New Orleans be made to
1'dance up'' also.
We would like to hear from our
contemporaries, regarding this mat
ter; those from the country and from
New Orleans, as well,

A Mothers Devotion.
From the Boston Journal.

from tne Boston journal.
A very peculiar case of mothers devo-
ton to her son, maniac, has Just come to
light. About eighteen years ago family
named Harrington moved to Portsmouth,
4. I. Nearly four years after, son, Will
liam, then about years of age, suddenly
disappeared. About three weeks ago the
mother of the boy died. Some of the peo-
pie at her funeral heard strange noise,
and on going to a small dark room in the
attic found there young man, having
scarcely any clothing, covered with hair.
The husband Of the woman told the follow
ing story: The young man, he said, was
his son, who had mysteriously disappeared
SO many years ago. When about 2 years
old the boy became insane, and was soon a
raving maniac. The mother refused to let
him be taken from her, but placed him in
an attc-room, where at times she was COM
PEELED to tie him. During all these wears
he had been confined there. and the mother
was the only living person whom her son
had seen. She was accustomed to visit
him and feed him with her own hand. and
had jealonsly guarded her secret from the
neighbors, fearing that steps would be
taken to tear the boy away from her. When
she died her father attempted to follow her
example, but was not equal to the task.
Young Harrington has been removed to the
Insane Asylum at Cranston, r. I.

The Most Beautiful Building in the
ST. World

Travels of Cyrus W. Field.
What is the finest Oriental building you
SAW"
"The Tai, at Agra, beyond all comparison.
Many think it the most beautiful building
in the world. You know it's history, Of
course. 1t was built by the emperor Shah
Jehan, grandson Of the great Mogul, Ak
bar the Great, it's site being about mile
below the fort at Agra, on the banks of the
Jumna river. Tue affection of the empe-
ror for his wife was very intense, and when
she was about to die he promised to erect
a splendid mausoleum, to her memory He
lavished the wealth of his empire upon the
structure and twenty thousand workmen
labored seventeen years to complete it. Its
foundation is a msss of red sandstone,
twenty feet high and 1000 feet square.
Above this red sandstone is mass of mar
BILE, fifteen feet high and 800 feet square.
Upon this massive foundation rests the
Tai, which is $50 feet square, and has a
dome which rises about 200 feet above
the pavement. It is built of the purest
white marble and inlaid with precious
stones of many kinds. The palace of
the great mogul is splendid beyond de-
scription, but the beauty of the tomb in
which rests the dust Of Shah Jehan and
his beloved wife was to me the most mar
vellous structure of the Orient. Nothing
could exceed it's beauty when seen by
moonlight, and think I should have
stayed to gaze at it all night long, again
and again, had it not been for Mrs.
Fields Illness

a PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN.

Lot Thorn Have Plenty Of Water During tho
Hot Weather.
Interview with DR. Hammond,
..What is the chief cause Of death in
children?''
Cholera infantum and analogous troub-
les carry off the bulk Of them y
And what is the cause Of cholera infan
tum?"
It may almost always be traced to food
and drink and the manner of giving them.
Yon would be surprised to know the num-
Der ct children who are killed inadvertent-
~ by the carelessness or ignorance of
mothers and nurses. The majority of in
fants who die in the summer season are
those who are fed by the bottle; the milk
used is often sour or partly so. Another
lngly important one, is the failure to pro-
drink.
*What percentage of deaths would you
be willing to say takes place from that
cause?"
1t has been said by those who have care
fully examined the statistics that during
hot weather the deprivation of water, has
brought about larger number Of cases of
death than all other causes combined.
They are always too much wrapped up, and
in any case would perspire very freely.
The water lost by perspiration must be sup
piled. AS DR.. Murdoch stated in his pa
per of cholera infantum. The child is
thirsty, not hungry; yet not getting the
water which it does want, it drinks the
milk, which it does not want The conse-
quence is that the stomach is overloaded
with food which cannot digest, and which
soon ferments and becomes source of Sc
we're irritation. Then follow vomiting,
How would you remedy the evil?"
cessible to the child, who will then refuse
sour milk and will eat only when hungry.
Water is the great indispensable article for
the preventive treatment of children in hot
weather. It is important enough to nurs-
ing children, but is life itself to those raised
on bottle. The result Of it's injudicious
use is that they will then take milk only
when it is sweet and will drink it only in
such quantities as they will be able to d.
gest."
care infants likely to take too much wa
ter?"
Not without they are overheated; and a
child who drinks often of water is much
less likely to get overheated than one who
is deprived of it. A child must be watched,
of course. AS rule, it's instinct is it's best
guide. 1t is only in the grown-up child
that the animal instincts become vitiated
and unreliable. You may state with entire
confidence that the free giving of water is,
in majority of cases, potent preventive
against the terrible scourge of cholera in
fantum."
