Bringing into the business
his many years experience as
clerk and manager for his en-
ployer, our young friend Albert
Gillespie need have no fear of
success. And as if to corrob>
crate the assertion, he is be-
fore the public this morning Us
his own boss. With an intui-
tive knowledge, as it were, of
the wants OF the community,
Ba better selection of goods
could be made-.not only for
quality, but to- be sold at tho
lowest rates. Attentive to all,
is his maxim, be he the pur-
chaser of il small or large
amount, and in this, lies his
success. We direct attention
to Mr.. Giilespie's card, and
speak for him a continuance of
the patronage which, by his
industry, he built up for the
old establishment of John

A CARD.
Messrs. Editors Of Eaale /:


My name having figured
somewhat conspicuousiy in
your last two issues, it becomes
necessary for me to rise and ex-
plain.
/ l will first notice the card of
S. M. Asher. l was part of the
year 1880 associated in bust
ness with S. NJ. Asher, Agent.
Whom he represented, is n
mystery to me; his principal
may be a "si irit from the
vastly deep" for aught / know,
never having seen his creden--
tails. In his card he very kind
~ notifies his aameroUS country
customers that | was no longer
associated with him in business,
and to address all their orders
to 5. N. Asher. | merely wish
in reply TO that, TO, stale, that
amy of nay trieudslislthe pan sh
who have kindly given me
their trade heretofore, will he
served in the future, with
pleasure, by still addressing
their orders to me although /
am not associated ia business
with either S. NJ. Asher or 5. NJ.
Asher, Agent.
next figure promiuentlyEe liz
the proceedings of The School
Board, charged with a mis-
appropriation {" OF funds to
build the i" Fletcher 4" school
House. The facts of that mild
charge are as follows. Gen. J..
Floyd King, President OF the
former Board of School Direc>
tors, was authorized by that
Board 10 contract Tor "a house
to be built at the Fletcher place
on Lake Concordia, to ACCOM-
the white children in
that district. Accordingly, he
gave me the contract TO build
said house, which, when com
pleted, the School Board took
possession of aud have used it
tor a white school two years,
1879 and 1880; but from the
fact that Gen. King, in attend-
ing to his public duties at
Washington City, omitted to
make his report, the Board,
although having received and
were using the house, deferred
payment, with an additional
reason, that after the house
was built they ascertaiued that
a good title to the land could
not be had. Neither of these
excuses had ! anything 10 do
with, or was in any way respoh-
sible. When l settled with myl
successor as Treasurer of thet
School Funds, / had the money,
but in lieu thereof, turned over
to him the vouchers tor the
school house. This constitutes
the offense of misappropriaS
ion" of school funds.
There are four members of
the School Board, honorable
gentlemen, viz: MIR. Yznaga, |
DR.. Craig, Mr.. Sol. Harris and
Gen. York, whose material in
crest is fully identified with
he welfare of the parish,
ieither of whom, except the
after, were present at the
Meeting referred to. Now if
hese members will hold Il
aud after hearing
len. Kings statement OF facts
IS we'll as my own, decide that
should lose the money ex~
'ended by me two years ago
or the benefit of the free
'ublic schools of the parish,
will chcerfuily refund, as
TMild not coutend against
heir opinion, although "seif
Iie waveriug balance might
Iiake," I would nevertheless
dust it right.

HOUSE.

The Fades inter-oceanic bill was reported
to the house.
On motion of Cox the whole subject was
tabled by an almost unanimous viva voice
vote.
The bill legislating for the importation of
materials used in the construction or repair
OF ships in foreign trade, including trade be-
tween Atlantic and Pacific ports, was, on mo-
tion of Frye, amended to provide that copper
and spelter of foreign product manufactured in
the United States in use in the construction
or repairs of such vessels may be imported in
bond under regulations as the secretary of the
treasury may prescribe, and on proof that
such materials have been used and manufac-
tured for the purposes aforesaid no duties
shall be charged thereon.
Bright offered an amendment admitting
salt free of duty, but it was ruled out OF Or
der.
Atkins reported back the Jeanette relief
bill.
Thompson, of Kentucky, objected and it
was referred to the committee of the whole.

New YORK, Feb. 12.-Pierola, command
er in chief and president of Peru, could do
nothing to withstand the effect ofthe surprise
of the 18th of November and the slaughter of
the 18th. He fled with his escort into the in
terror. Before leaving he gave orders that if
any of the Peruvian officers desired to save
themselves by flight they were privileged to
do so. None made the attempt and on the
surrender of Lima and Callao the forts, bat
teries and ships were blown up or burned.
Several forts were blown up with consider
able loss to the invaders, but there was not
the slightest evidence that the city was so
generally ruined as the Peruvians claimed.
Gen. Lacoura, commander of the Peruvian
reserve, is accused of treason, cowardce and
all sorts of crimes and was forced to take ref
uge in the British legation. He went to
G.iaqui by Vantage, and on the way suffer-
ed many indignites al the hands OF the pop
ulace at various ports and from tie Peruvian
passengers on board. The army of the CEN
tire, the finest Peru ever put in the field, has
been completely beaten, dem0rallzed and
practically wiped out of existence. Mentoro
was appointed commander of the army of the
north and Solos of the south. The army OF
the north consists of number OF so-called
battaions without means of mobilization
and having neither headquarters nor organi-
cation, and the army of the south, with head
quarters at Arequipa. numbers less than TO-
QUO men, and any operations from that quar-
ter against Tacna and africa is said to be i'm
possible.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The assay COM
missioners who have been engaged in the U. S.
mint al Philadelphia for several days testing
the coinage of the various mints of the coun-
try, have completed their work and will re-
port the result of their test to the president in
a few days. 1t is understood certain defects
were discovered in the coinage executed at
the Carson mint, but that none such coin had
been put into circulation.
The post office department was recently
informed of the loss of a sum of money
which was being transported in regis
tered mail packages from Helena, Mont, and.
asked if the contract or of the coach route on
which the loss occurred was not responsible
for it. The postmaster-general rendered a
decision on the subject to-day in which he
says the report of the inspector for this de-
partment who made the investigation, indi-
Gated that the loss was accidental and without
fault of the contractor, but were it otherwise,
and it could be shown that the loss was at
tributable to negligence or even to fraud of
the contractor, it is not perceived that any
right of action would thereby accrue to this
department, nor does the loss of mail matter
witfou fault on the part of the contractor
constitute ground of forfeiture as agreed upon
if the contracts fail as presented do not afford
this department the means of repairing the
loss referred to.
