says:
Public attention is conferred on the meas.
ures being adopted by the Chilean authori-
ties, which tend evidently to the establish
mert of that military tax, or cupo, which
is so fearfully awaited by the Peruvian
residents of Lima. The position of the

changed siucs my last communication. Toe
Chlleans have completed the construction
OF some light field works, ana the Monte.
neros, as Caceres' troops are termed, are in
the neighboraood, but make 70 signs Of
disposition 70 attack. In the valley of
Csnete, 100 miles south OF Lima, a Skin
mish has taken place between the Chilean
detachment stationed in that section and 4
body of Pe:uviaps mounted and on foot.
Bolivia is perfectly aware that if Ar,quipa
falls, her own position is undefsnded, and
her capital, La Paz at the mercy of the in
vader. Hence the Peruvians hope that
assistance will be afforded. Bolivia has
now about 10, 900 mei under arms.

mar who happened to be near the
jail heard the noise made BY the
prisoners when breaking the locks,

Mr.. Gramm Himself.

\ good story is told of the lecturers at
the exhibition of electricity, which was
held at the Palais de rIndustrie last
year. The savant was at the time offer
ing few concluding remarks to the
bystanders who had gathered round the
Gramm machine to listen to him, when
a good-looking elderly gentleman APP
preached and inquired: us not this the
Gramm machine, sir?'' ''Yes,'' was the
ready answer, land an admirable inven-
ton it isl Here the lecturer again
launched out into theoretical explana-
ton of its parts, substantiating his dis
course with ''integrals," 'spotentials,
''Webers," ''Holms,'' :sresistances, -
''Volts,' and such like scientific abstrac-
tons. The serene-looking old gentle
man heard all the lecturer had to say,
then quietly remarked, while smile lit
uphis placid countenance: 'Indeed, sir,
all You have been saying is very learned,
but, you see, my name is Gramm, and
would merely remark that never made
use of all those fine things to construct
my machine" The other stared wildly.

The conversion of General Abe Buford
during the recent religious revival in
Louisville, KY, caused great deal of
surprise throughout that region. Anoth-
er notable convert was Warren Vilex,
Between Buford and Wiley there had long
been a bitter feud, and they never met
without arousing expectations of blood
shed. They came together few days
ago. The spectators felt that severe
test of their professions of change of
heart was to be made. The two men
shook hands cordially and took drink
together.

The Queens Ooachman.

The recent attempt upon the hand
some coupe of Queen Victoria by the
tramp, MacLean, brings the robust
Scotch gille, John Brown, to the front
again; although on this occasion Brown
evidenced hurry to get away. from the
scene of trouble that shows Suspicion
of physical inertness growing from ap-
preaching old age. In his younger DAYS
the stanch Scot could Individually have
lynched Mclean. The English j. Brown
is man whose name is more extensively
known in Great Britain and on the con-
tinent than that of old ''Ossawatomie,'
who parted this life at the end of a rope
in Harper's Ferry, having failed to con-
quer the south, a misguided and over
sanguine advance agent of the war.
Queen Victoria's John Brown is a we'll
fed, well-looking, lusty Scotchman, who
serves as henchman to H. R. M. He
rides behind Der in her carriage, sleeps
on mat or rug before her door, and is
her constant, consistent, and continuous
seneschal. Through long association in
this position, his name and the queens
have grown to be coupled together by
the street classes in London, and it is 70
very unusual thing in the streets of that
city, when the royal outfit passes, tohear
che crowds call out: '.Here comes old
Mother Brown!''

Text From the Buddhist Books.

All that we are is the result of what
we have thought: it is founded on our
thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.
If man speaks or acts with an evil
thought, pain follows him as the wheel
follows the foot of the OK that draws the
cart.
For hatred does not cease by hatred
at any time; hatred ceases by love-this
is an old rule.
Let man overcome anger by love;
let him overcome evil by good; let him
overcome the greedy by libera'ity, the
liar by truth!
Let us live happily, then, not hating
those who hate us! Among men who
hate us let us dwell free from hatred!
The man who is free from credulitv.
but knows the Uncreated, who has cut
all ties, removed all temptations, re-
nounced all desires, he is the greatest of
men.
As the bee collects nectar and departs
without injuring the flower or its color
or its scent, SO let a sage dwell in his
village.
When the learned man drives away
vanity by earnestness, he, the wise,
climbing the terraced nights of wisdom,
looks down upon the fools-serene he
looks upon the toiling crowd, as one
that stands on a mountain looks down
upon them that stand on the plain.

An EXPLANATION,

"a reader desires to be informed
with regard to the '.shirt of Nessus."
Well, you see, the shirt of Nessus was
very peculiar arrangement. 1t was
made of cast iron, and was seven feet
thick all around. He didn't wear it for
ornament, neither could he use the flaps
to blow his nose on. When he desired
to take it off he sent for a gang Of
miners, who drilled hole in the back
(it opened down the back), put in a
charge of nitro-glycerine, applied fuse,
and in a few minutes he was disrobed
and ready for bed. In the morning the
hands from machine shop would come
up, fasten on the clamps and rivet it to-
gether again. Mr.. Nessus was not pas
sionately fond of this style of shirts, and
would have preferred the French yoke or
coffin bosom cut bias, but he was poor
man and could not afford fancy and
extensive wardrobe. So, you see, it was
q case of necessity purely Nessus-sary.

A Russian Peasants Boots.

'Shall speak of the dress of the Rus
sian peasantry?' says a correspondent.
The rags our peasant wears have struck
all travellers who visited Russia. Suf-
ficient to say that boots are considered
as objects of luxury, and until now, in
Little Russia, the girl buys one pair of
boots, and must wear them throughout
her life. On Sunday, when she goes to
church, she walks barefooted in the cold
mud of the road, and only when she has
arrived at the church she washes her
feet in pond of water, puts on her
boots, and enters full dressed. The
three roubles (about $3.50 she has paid
for her boots are considered by the peas
ant as such an immense amount of mon
ey that his wife never must expect to in
.dulge in such an expense for a second
time during her life. This instance. to-
gether with what I said in preceding
letter about artels of masons who travel
on foot along railways, with their boots
on their backs, is sufficient to give an
idea of what the dress of the Russian
peasant really is.
