A Peace Congress in 1854.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR
The National Arbitration League of Washing
ton, D. c., desire to make an appeal to the
friends of humanity everywhere for moral sup
port in their great undertaking, which has
for its aim the "peace on earth and good
Will to men" so long prayed for. The
movement has been organized for many
months. Its objects the settlement of all inter-
national disputes by arbitration. to be brought
about by agitation in every nation, but es-
pecially by worlds conference at Washington
in 1884, when, from all parts of the EARTH great
numbers will be in attendance at the contem-
plated Boston worlds fair This seems to be a
time when a movement OF this kind could be-
come practicable. Many travellers over the earth
agree that there are IN all civilized countries
persons of influence who lave means. know the
English language. and would be glad of the
honor to come as representatives to a cOnven-
tion Of this magnitude. This Assembly, after
mature Geliberation on mans moral and social
relations, would probably conclude to issue an
address to the world advising. among other
things. the organization Of family Of nations
to so educate the people on peace footing that
it would be practicable by the dawn of the twen-
tieth century to disband armies and navies all
over the earth. The recent desire of some of
the countries in South america for arbitration
from the United States after being desolated
by war, makes this undertaking at this time a
very important one. Mary of the clergy express
a desire of preaching on the good time coming
when sword and cannon can be used for wire
and rail. 1t is hoped that arbitration leagues
will be commenced in every countyin the United
that it will be very unpopular for those in power
to eXpend so many millions for war. when edu-
cation is everywhere SO much demanded.

graved for illustrations in magazines,
and good view of the country may
be had from the cemetery back of the town. in

As Mr.. Garfield has lately been too plainly losing

to balance the scoop with the half pound weight
used to balance it, and found the scoop weighed

scoop. OF course there is no way of Furnishing

ago the state inspector of milk. Dr. Newton
visited the milk depot of the Erie railroad and
dumped several thousand quarts of adulterated

bringing skim milk to the city was still indulged
in. and determined to make another raid. This
morning at four o'clock he visited the same de-
