cortnne so Sing In New For,

Cortnne to Sing i'm New York.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-sLittle Corinne, ,, the child actress, accompanied by her foster mother, Mrs. Flaherty, and her counsel, MT Hummel, appeared before Mayor Grace to- day in pursuance of the application made by Mr. Hummel for permission for the child to appear on the stage at the Metropolitan Casino as hitherto announced. The Mayor had sent notice to the president of the Socie- ty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to appear, but MT. Gerry contented himself with writing letter explaining the society's views and submitting decisions in other cases. Mir. Hummell called the Mayors attention to the salient points of Judge Donohue's deci- sion quoted from the law of 1876 setting forth the society's powers and read @ number of newspaper editorials evincing the deter mined stand the press had with singular unan- imity taken in favor of the child actress. He also exhibited letters from the late President Garfield, General W. T. Sherman, Governor Long of Massachusetts and the Marquis of Lorne commenting the ehild's talent. Cor inne paid much attention to all that was said, and when questioned by Mayor Grace
 was prompt in her responses. She repeated to him what she had already said in regard to the doctors opinion as to the remarkable strength of her back, causing much merri- ment as the Mayor at times stood directly be- hind her. The Mayor then introduced Corinne to General Porter and on bidding her farewell said, God bless you" Mayor Grace shortly after 8 o'clock rendered his decision granting the child actress permission to sing at matinees in operettas The law is imperative as against dancing.

 Peru's TroubIes-A very R1ixed state oz
 ATairs-The Position or the United
 States Towards the Bell1gerents.
 ICorrespondence of the National Associated Pressl
 PANAMA, Dec. 15.-Dates from Lima are to the 30th of November. Affairs in Peru seem to have assumed most appalling condition. Pierola,s most intimate and trustworthy friend, Colonel Caceres. has also forsaken him and declared himself superior general and political and military chief of the depart ments of the center in 8 proclamation. pub lished on the 24th of November. In this proclamation General Caceres states that his action in assuming the office was guided solely by desire to promote that union in for it's success and to destroy the power oe Pierola, which had become an element of discord. As matter of course Caceres is actuated solely by personal mo- Hves. He is disgusted at the success of his former subordinates in the south, who have seized commands in more habitable and profitable regions than those Pierola had allotted him, and heis disinclined to obey Montero. From the southern de- partments there is nothing new, although they are all in @ ferment Mas holds Yea and will not desert Pierola. Finally he will have to tsproclaim" himself now that all have deserted his beloved chief. Suarez and La Tarre had left Arequipa for Ayacucho with troops to capture any Pierolistas there might be in Ayacucho. Neither of these two leaders. nor San Ramon. prefect of Arequi- pa, will obey either Caceres or Montero, nor will these latter obey the former, so there are really three different powers gov erning in the interior.
 The following letter of Minister Hurlburt is causing quite sensation in Peru: To the notables of Lima.
 Gentlennen-At your request make the following declaration:
 First-The United States of America are firmly in favor the cessation hostiites between Chn and Peru and the prompt re-establishment of Peru.
 Second-The United States of America decidedly oppose all dismemberment of Peru except with the free and full consent of the nation.
 Third-They are of opinion that Chilli has acquired as result of the war the right to indemnity and that Peru cannot refuse such payment
 The government of Chin knows that these are the ideas of the United States but the divisions which ist in Peru rarayze the good officers of the United States and give pFetext to Chin to eluda action. and to prolong the State and Hilary occupation of Peru Chih says: awe also desire peace but there is here competent to arrange it." This deca- ration is unfortunately true For this state Of affairs the only remedy is to be found in Peru itself Union under whosoever may be elected will destroy the pre- text of Chilli and give to the United States the advan tage which they require and of which they will know how to take advantage. In my opinion nothing else will the country from indefinite military occu- patton by Chilli Peru must itself by sacrificing personal ambitions the altar of the redemption of the country

Death of Thomas Lane.

Thomas IIane for several years Democrat ic Registrar of Voters in the Sixth ward, passed away yesterday morning at his home in Grand street. For about year past the deceased had been afflicted with hemorrhage of the lungs, at times suffering acutely from the disease. It was not thought, however, that his end was SO near, and on the evening before his death he was sitting up and had an extended conversation with one of his sons MT. Lane was a native of Cork, Ire land, but came to this city thirty-two years ago and has ever since resided here. He was much prospered in his business and accumu- lated handsome competency, most of which is invested in valuable real estate. He was prominent in Democratic circles, and his in- fuence was much sought after by candidates for office. Mr.. Lane was of genial, kindly temperament, and had attracted to himself a large circle of friends who will deeply mourn his loss. He leaves wife, five sons and two daughters, who will have the sympathy of many in their deep bereavement. The de- ceased was fifty-two years of age. The fune- ral takes place tomorrow afternoon from St. Patrick's church, of which MT. Lane was a faithful and consistent member.

President Arthur's Appointments-Car- rying Out His Predecessors Wishes Other Matters.

President Arthur's Appointmsnts-Car-
 rying Out His Predecessors Wishes
 Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-In conversation with representative of the National Asso- ciated Press prominent western Repubi- can, formerly member of Congress and 8 warm supporter of Garfield, took occasion to commend the manner in which President Arthur had, as he termed it, administered the estate of the late President. Not an appoint ment, said he, where he was satisfied it had been promised by President Garfield has been refused, although some of the individuals were personally obnoxious. Every wish of his predecessor has been carried out, and his treatment of John Sherman, continued the speaker, has been most magnanimous, not withstanding he was removed from the col Iectorship by Sherman and even efforts were made to smirch his character to accomplish that end. Recent acts and utterances of President Arthur convince me that he recognizes Sherman as sample Republican Senator from 8 great Republican State. Surely man who can so govern his own feelings is fit to govern nation.
 That this republic can be grateful is shown by the issuance to-day over Secretary Kirk woods signature of twenty seven pieces of bounty land scrip to the heirs of John Paul Jones, captain in the American navy, in ap- preciative acknowledgement of his brave and meritorious services in connection with the capture of certain British vessels of war.
 MT. Rollins bill introduced in the House four days ago to limit the term of internal. revenue collectors to four years and make the term of those who shall have served four years or more on Juns 30, 1882, expire on that date is stirring up the collectors all over the country. Nearly @ hundred out of the one hundred and twenty-six collectors in the: country have served over four years, and the bill if it passes means their removal. The bill is substantially in accord with the rec-- concentrations in Commissioner Raum's late report.

She was gone but short time so the visitor had not time to find the silverware. On her return he said the money in the packages was not the exact amount. and if the lady would get $5 he would straighten it. She got two $5's and he took one and went out to change it and disappeared. He was just about to enter the residence of MT.
