THURSDAY HRIsTMAsEs-Christma Day
comes this year upon Thursday. The fol
lowing is quotation from an ancient Ms
in the British Museum:
If Xmas on Thursday be,
windy winter We shall see;
Windy weather in each week,
And hard tempests, strong and thick
The summer shall be good and dry,
Corn and beasts shall multiply;
That year is good for lands to till
Kings and princes shall die by skill;
Ifs child born that day shall be.
1t shall happen right well for he:
OF deeds he shall be good and stable,
Wise of speech and reasonable;
Who so that day goes thieving about:
Shall be punished without doubt;
And if sickness that day betlde.
1t shall quickly from thee glide.

THE WEATHER AND THE RIvER.-The
weather continued cold last night and moro
ice formed on the river the channel only
being open this morning. Reports from
down the river say that the ice extends to
Quantico and many Of the creeks are frozen
no. The Maryland steamer Virginia is un
able to make her trips, and the Lodor Is
tied up at Pennington. The Mattano did
not arrive here Till late last night and the
Arrowsmith is still due, being detained it Is
supposed by the ice and low tides. Several
oyster boats are due but nothing has been
heard of them. The Baltimore steamer Sue
will make her last trip to morrow, land if the
weather continues cold it is thought that
some of the other boats will stop running.
The Washington ferry boats have made
their regular trips during the day and have
met with no difficulty from the ice. The
ice on the cove, creek and canal is sufli ciert.
" thick to bear skaters. Snow commenced
falling again this evening
The weather bureau predicts warmer
wave coming.
?. S.-Three oyster boats arrived here
this evening, in tow of tug, and went or
to Washington.

Further Particulars of the Assault Upon
Peru-FirSt Knsurrection That Has Re.
snlted in Failure.

New YORK, Sept. 15.-Mail advices give
further particulars of the fruitless assault
upon Lima by Caceres. 1t appears that on
August Oath Caceres sent a picked force OF
1900 men to make flank attack upon Callao.
Part of that force was defeated ON the 25th by
government troops, and Caceres being driven
to bay, resolved to attack Lima. After this
attack, which ended in complete defeat,
Caceres escaped to the interior with an escort
OF so disheartened horsemen. Nearly 800 per-
sons were made prisoners, including 70 officers.
The Union Club has been closed by the gov
eminent. The members were accused OF hav-
ing lent their balconies to the Caceres party
to fire from, but this they deny. The govern
ment loss was slight, only few soldiers being
killed or wounded. Among the wounded was
the son OF Gen. lglesias, whose leg has since
been amputated. 1t is noteworthy that the
people made no movement during the six
hours that Caceres occupied the capital III his
favor, although he was supposed to be their
favorte. This is the first instruction in Peru
which has resulted in failure.
PANAMA, Sept. 15.-The most important
event which has occurred lately in Chilli was
the return from Peru of Admiral Lynch, the
hero of the late war His arrival at Valpa-
raise was hailed with all manner of public
demonstrations, and his reception at Santiago
was on magnificent scale.
Nitrate producers have resolved to reduce
their output, beginning September l. to 40 per
cent. of the quantity assigned to each member
of the combination.
The Gillian Chamber of Deputies has ap-
proved the executive project OF constitutional
reform and freedom of worship. The State
will grant subvention 10 the church and will
insist upon its right Of patronage.
