lighting the sensation loving portion
of the people of San Francisco, is a
promising infant of q years. Ac-

not have married the princess Dolgorouki-
or at least be would not have married her as
soon as he did, put for his fears of assassina-
ton.
The princess has already brought him three
children, and will again shortly become a
mother. The father wished to legitimatize
these children, whom he adores, and Of whose
remarkable beauty he is extremely proud.
And the Nihilists haunt the dreams of the
emperor Alexander. He hears them march

Angelo heard the Council of Ten. Every
morning when he rises he asks himself If he
will still be alive in the evening. And it is
in great part owing to this dismal melancholy
that his favorite has so much influence. She
has q bright wit she is cunning, shrewd,
coquettish, and understands how TO play her
role OF pretty woman to perfection. She
alone is able to make the czar forget his fun
ereal dreams. With q single tap of her fan
she chases away the black birds of melan-

ems up the gloom of his thoughts. Once

The Con q ueaG OF Peru.

Senior Don +. s. Asia Buruaga, envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotentiary of
Chill, says he had no information of the fail
ure OF the treaty Of peace between Chill and
Peru and Bolivia beyond what was contained
in the dispatch from Panama. He had no
doubt, however, that the news was correct.
He expected to find official dispatches await
ing him at Washington. Regarding the de-
uland made by Chill as a basis of peace, he
said: sThese demands are considered very
moderate in Chill. The indemnity of $780,
600, 600 is thought much too small by many
Of the people. Chill is in a position to en-
force her demands, which are moderate and
just. and they will not be receded from in
any particular. Chill does not want to &C.
quire any Bolivian or Peruvian territory. The
territory demanded has been in dispute ever
since the conquest. It lies between the 23d
and Oath parallels, south latitude, and, as it
was almost a desert tract, its possession was
not a matter of much importance to either
country. In recent years valuable mines of
s~altpetre and other minerals have been open
ed there. What inhabitants it has are Chilli
ans. In the micable settlement of the boun-
Diary between Bolivia and Chilli, in 1866, this
district was given to Bolivia, but it was stip-
ulated in the treaty that its seaports on Mex
illones bay should be free ports of entry
that no import duties should ever be imposed.
It was the violation of this treaty, supported
bu Dow, thot ,rc,7rb ~, tho ,1,r rI;1;
simply demands thatssts cession to Bolivia be
returned, as the terms of the grant have been
violated. The demand of Chilli that the port
Of africa, in Peru, shall not be fortified is for
the benefit of Bolivia, as it is her only outlet
to the sea, as her WI sea coast is a desert,
without any ports. 1t is distasteful to Peru,
but Peru is q conquered country. Chill was
anxious for peace, to stop the destruction Of
life and property. But now, as Peru declines
to accept the terms offered to her, we shall
capture her capital, Lima, and make peace
on Our own terms, as you did in Mexico. We
are in a position to do this. We have an
army of $4,000 men, which will be thrown
against Lima at once. We wanted to avoid
this, to prevent loss of life and destruction Of
property. The result is not at all doubtful.
We have annihilated the Peruvian navy. Our
army is much superior to hers. Our people
are Of pure Spanish descent. We have no
negroes, and very little mixed Indian blood,
and in this We are different to the Peruvians.
We have also a colder and a better climate,
and our people are harder. Chilli will not
recede from her demands, and no doubt a
larger indemnity than $780, 00, 900 will have
to be paid in the end. It is to be regretted
that Peru has declined the liberal terms that
were offered her"

The empress of Russia, who recently died.
says the Figaro, had the most beautiful jew
ell box in the world. Her treasures are valued
at 1926, 600, 900 francs. Her state robes have
been given by the emperor to the princess
Dagmar, the Czarina. The gifts presented
By the emperor to his wife have been reserved
for the duchess of Edinburg; but the most
precious Of the Jewels have become the prop
erty Of the princess Of Dolgorouki. And
vet this new wife, on whom the czar now
layishes all his affection, was 50 poor when
she first Won the sovereign's heart that she
could not pay a debt Of ten roubles, contract
cd for the purchase Of a little silver %rlng-her
only ornament.
The traditional and splendid costume Of the
maids of honor was offered by the empress
Of Russia herself to her future rival. 1t con,

with gold flowers q court-mantle Of red vel

at the sides q white satin bodice, something
like those Of the Valois epoch, with q lace

the neck. The back Of the bodice is Of red
velvet embroidered with gold. q long veil
Of white tulle is attached to the back Of the
~head-dress, and ! diadem Of red velvet and
gold confines the hair.
1t was in this dazzling costume that the
blonde beauty, SO naughty and irresistible,
first attracted the emperor's attention. From
that day he loved her madly; regretting to
grleve the empress, whom be really venerat-
ed, but lacking the force Of will to resist bis
passion.
The emperor sincerely mourned the noble

THE PAUSE.

So deep her dream OF coming good,
So vast her gaze down passions flood
BY sunny reach and shadowy wood,
So bold and shy in maidenhood
On fancy's treacherous steep she stood,
Der will perforce must sleep;
The life behind was fat and gray;
Before, q swelling prospect lay;
And one was whispering her to stay,
And one was reckoning her away
1t was not hers to say him nay: .
And yet-she falls to weep.
In piteous tremor by her side
The voice to each warm wish replied
With words on duty, home and pride
Here, certain ~peace-there, hopes untried;
And now she unused, and now she sighed;
Bat scarce she strives to speak.
For on her wrist she felt a hand,
So softly strong it's master-band;
A fattering breath her forehead famed
With VOWS 'twere treason to withstand
Or be they writ on rock or sand.
Yet-dare she then be weak.
Poor child! from such q dream to wake!
One word the maiden spell. shall break
One step her moments empire shake.
This heart shall glow, but that shall ache;
And TAIN she neither would forsake-
-.mmz BY either would be won.
So at the blushing of the skies
The sun in jewelled cradle lies; ."."
Day cannot be unless he rise;

He clouds at noon-at eve he dies

The strike among the furniture makers il
Paris has given rise to a singular question,
which the French press is discussing very
learnedly. We are told that before the mid
die ages there was no such thing as furniture.
There was q bed and there was q chair
more like a throne-and there was q table 81
most like q platforms; but there was very little
else. The ancient sculptures and the con-
tents Of museums Of antiquities are appealed
to in support Of this view. Even the middle
ages supplied few additional items to the fur
niture of q nobleman's room. Art had chos-
en- another direction for its civilization in
f%uences, and carvings in ivory, enamel, jew
elry, tazzas inlaid with gems, canoes, chalices
and Illuminated missals usurped the tastes of
artists and the patronage Of amateurs. Even
the carved woodwork Of Belgium and Switz.
erland seemed to be limited to church deco
ration and pulpit ornaments, but it was the
carvings OF pulpits which supplied the tran
sition between the sculpture and furniture.
At first oak from its hardness, was the prin-
cipal material used, and soon after ash and

of light fancy woods, such as satin, maple,
tulip, belongs to a much later date.
France Of course was the originator Of art
furniture, and the Gobelins tapestry which
Louis XIV. patronized, and which came
from the institution which he founded, was
inconsistent with dark woods of delicate
carvings. The style known as "Louis Ounce
also demanded profuse gliding and ford
decoration for the framework of the delicate
needle work which adorned the chairs of the
period. It was not till the end Of the seven
teenth and beginning Of the eighteenth cen
turtles that polished woods and severe outline
took the place of the hamboyant carving and
gliding which proceeded them. It was at
this period that mahogany owed to an acct
dent its introduction, and it made its entry in
to the saloons OF Europe, not through Pari-
sian influence, but through the London mar
ket. In the year of 1850 q DR.. Gibson re-
ceived from a brother of his, the captain Of q
trading vessel, several blocks Of q new kind
Of timber Just imported from the Indies. The
doctor, who was furnishing q house which he
had taken in King street, thought to utilize
the wood for the doors and windows OF his
room. But the builders and carpenters re-
fused to have anything to do with it. The
grain was so close and the surface 50 hard
that they could not work it with their tools.
d. Gibson took specimens OF the wood to
Wollaston-at that time an eminent cabinet
maker. A whole suit Of furniture was plan
ned and executed, and at once Q new fashion
set in. This was the origin Of mahogany
furniture, which il England, at least, has
survived all the changes Of q fuctuating
fashion for q period of over a century and q
half.

CHILDREN's DAY was very appropri-
ately observed at the Al. E. Church on
Sunday The church was very hand
somely and elaborately decorated, the
entire front of the main audience room
being covered with flowers and ever
greens. In front of the pulpit was erect
ed mammoth floral cross, over which
was suspended a large and beautifully
wrought crown. At the foot of the
cross was a handsome floral anchor and
small cross, which were kindly con-
tributed to the decoration by the MellOr
Bros Florists. Embowered among the
flowers and the foliage were several bird
cages, and swinging pendant from the
windows on either side of the room,
were other cages, from which canaries
sang their sweetest songs. The picture
was pleasant one to look upon, and
was especially enjoyed by the children.
At the morning service the pastor, Rev.
J. II. Conkle, delivered an address ap-
to the occasion, calling espe-
cial attention to the need of educating
the youth, and to the educational facili-
ties afforded by the church. III the eve
ming in addition to the singing exercises
of the children. a couple of entertaining
essays were read. and some of the little
folks gave recitations.

A FORCE of men has been at work sew

ing off the debris and ridding up. prepar-
atory to repairing the damage done by
the flood. The bridge carpenters went
to work Monday. Much of the material
has been found in the piles of drift. and
a.large saving effected thereby. Difficult
ty is experienced in procuring laborers,
and hence the opening of the road may
be delayed a couple of months.
The ruin and waste in that valley from
the flood is almost incredible, and can
not be appreciated until it is seen. In
places the water was from fifteen to
twenty feet high, gathered within mile
or two from the hills on either side, and
as it rushed down stream it swept every
thing in its path before it with irresist-
ible force. Here several rods OF the
track is picked up and landed in the bed
of the stream, while every vestige of the
embankment whereon it stood is gone

with as much ease, apparently, as it
would a rope; IN another place the track
is shut up like knife; while at every
crossing bridges are gone, and stones

less food. The like of it was never seen
here before, and it is hoped never will
again.
