Newspaper Notes.

Maj VIM. A. Hearne, editor of the
New Bern daily Commercial NeUs, last
week published a card announcing that
blythe dastardly action of the company
at a stock holders meeting the previous
eveniug..he had been deprived oftne fruits
ofhis labor for several months, and there
fore should at once start a new daily.

give New Bern three dailies, will o be
detrimental; inasmuch as it will impart
an energetic rivalry, which cannot fail to
advertise the town, and stir a spirit OF
business emulation.

Republican members Of the House held

sided. The first proposition considered
was the propriety of reducing the tax

can members were present, and 1T Is,
therefore, thought safe to conclude that
the present Congress will not change
these taxes. 1t was determined also
that the tariff commission bill shou!i

TIE PRICE OF PEACE PERU MUST
PAY.-The proud Peruvians are paying
dearly for their whistle. Their needless
attack on Chill met with anything but
a Chile reception. 1t was indeed SO
decidedly hot that they began to
''shake'-the dust off from their ske-
daddling shoes. But the Chillians fol-
lowed them up with a fever that made
the whole land sweat; and finally added
to its history a Grand Lama
under the wall of Lima famed for big
beans and Bostonian bragg, which
caused an utter collapse, civilly, moral
", financially, and every other way.
Peru to-day is without government,
army, navy. schools, or any recognizable
existence. The triumphant Chilians
have held possession of her capital, and
chief towns, for six months; and now
have laid down their ultimatum in these
severe terms, which are sanctioned by
the U. S. minister; lst, They cut of
from Peru the province Of Tarapaca

that supply the world 2nd, They take
