Chn's Wealth in Guano Nitrates.

Ii is reported on good authority that
the CHILEAN Government is anxious to
withdraw all their troops on the day
mentioned in the treaty, but that the Pc
ruyian Executive thinks their presence
will continue to be necessary until
something approaching regularly or
ganzcd government shall have been
formed.
The people do not seem to know
what they really want, and this indie
cision, and the apathy which is a con-
sequence of it, is atfording opportunity
for twenty different bands of plumber
ers to loot and pillage in nearly all the
districts where there are no Gillian
troops.
A rough calculation shows that the
amount of Peruvian Indebtedness guar
anteed by the nitrate and guano will
reach nearly 100000 The for
eign debt and interest amount to say
945, 900, 900, the debt secured by nit
rate, the saliteras, etc., ETC., "a, 0OO,-
000 the debt to the American Guano
Company e., 100000, making roughly
Gj7, 600, 900, or say $40, 900, 900 of silver
soles or Gillian dollars.
OF course, if Chill should so desire
she can retain this territory of Tara
paca, paying all of these demands, on
the chance that the wealth of that Sec
ton may prove greater than the total
claim, but it is question whether that
would suit her convenience Should
absolute refusal be given, it is supposed
that the powers would instantly pre-
vent all further export of the two ar
ticles, and thus virtually render the
riches of the CHILEAN prizes useless and
irritating, -NcW York. Commercial! -Ad-

The Marriage Relation.

Judge jameson concludes an article
in the April North Amrican Rerie,c
entitled Shall our Civilization be Pre-
served as follows:
A word, now, as to the perils which
threaten US in connection with the
marriage relation. The evil referred
to is only one of a multitude that flow
from the same sOurce,-a general let
ting down of public sentiment in re-
gard to the sanctity of marriage.
While the Protestant view, that mar
riage is a civil contract and not sa-
crament, has doubtless basis of truth,
it is not the whole truth. Marriage is
civil contract and great deal more;
it is the creation of a status the most
sacred and the most important known
to the law or TO human life. Regarded
merely as a contract, it is natural to
conclude that it may be lightly dis
solved; and, in fact, from precisely
such 4 conclusion flows the disastrous
flood of divorces that is overwhelming
our Protestant communities. Far bet
ter than this would it be if the intleX-
ible rule of the Roman Church were
adopted and enforced. And one haz-
ards little in predicting that, for the
salvation of society, such must be the
result, unless there shall be restored to
the status of marriage something OF the
solemnity and sacrednesS imputed to 1t
by that church 1t is needless to null
tiply words. Our divorce and marriage
laws must be revised, made uniform
and more strict, and be rigidly enforc-
ed. or the diSorganzation of society
now threatened by the increased loos-
ennr of the marital ties will become
complete. So long rs marriage is re-
garded rs mere civil contract, its
higher purpose, the rearing of Off
spring, will be overlooked; its baser
uses alone will be esteemed until,
finally, whatever stands in the way OF
these will, at any cost, be removed. 1t
must be admitted, however, that while
the law, if amended and more strictly
enforced, will do something, it cannot
alone reach the inmost seat of the evil,
in the perverted sentiment of the pub
lie in regard to marriage Since this
sentiment rests not so much upon er-
rors in reasoning as upon corrupt incli-
nations, logic or legal intcrdict can do
little to correct it, 10 that, perhaps,
religion alone is equal. And we cannot
better close than by stating our con-
viction. that for the saving OF ciyiliza-
ton from the destruction threatening
it, as well from the prevalence OF
crime and social immortality rs from
the thickcning dangers Of industrial
discomfort and conflict, religion is the
most effective instrumentalityi not the
religion that builds temples from
which it excludes the poor not the re-
licion " hoh shoots philosophical treat
ises from its pulpits over the heads OF
those who most need its consultations
in the condition of social contempt and
prescription in which they are held;
but the religion which reaches its hand
to the plain men and women who form
the bulk of our race and do its work;
which wins, instead of repelling them,
and which shows itself the friend and
minister of the toiling millions rather
than of the millionaires who b, lid its
palaces,

Making the Boys Walk the Mules.

making inc Boys walk the Mules,
One morning General Sedgwick
called Lieutenant Clondennin, Of his
staff, who was passing and said:
"Licutenant, you have charge of the
corps train, to-day, | belicye?'
Eyes, sir,
"WeIl, there is an order, as you are
aware, against trotting the mules; but
to-day think you may have to disre-
gard it little. 1t is very essential
that you should keep the train well
closed up and moving, even if you
have to trot little; but be as mcrcilul
to the beasts as you can"
81 will look to it, General and sa-
luting, the train officer rode Off to
spread the injunction through the park.
The days march was hard one,
lasting well into the dark shade of the
evening, Just when it was becoming
too dark to see distinctly orders were
received to pack the train across
small stream near Uniontown, Faquier
County. The Lieutenant saw the head
OF the train in the proper field, and
rode back to his bridge over the
stream to hurry up the laggards. As
each wagonmaster came up Clendcn-
min would remark
Hurry up those mules, there; we're
just going into park,
This state of things went on some
time until the Lieutenant growing I'M
patient at particularly wide break,
yelled out;
"Trot up those mules, there"
"Walk those mules" said a grave,
quiet voice from out of the darkness
on the side of the road.
"Never you mind those mules" re-
piled the Lieutenant tartly, and there
was silence for few moments, except
the noise Of the train, which toiled
along until another break showed it.
self and Brought the commando:
Hurry up those mules!"
Walk those mules" said the quiet
voice out Of the darkness.
Don't bother yourself about those
mules, over there, if you don't want to
get into trouble" shouted the eXasper-
ated Clendennin. Then another hiatus
occurred, and he yelled desperately:
Light out with those mules!"
Walk those mules!n said the cool,
monotonous voice from the deep shades.
This was several degrees more than
the much-tried Lieutenant could stand,
and he yelled out:
look here, by thunder! / don't
know who you are, and | don't care n
cuss; but want you to understand
that ! am Lieutenant Clcndcnnn, Act
ing Assistant Quartermaster of the
Sixth Corps. My orders are from Ma
ior General Sedgwick, and il you don't
let those mules alone I'm id if |
don't come over there and punch your
head. y
An, yes, Lieutenant" the quiet
voice responded. My name is John
sedgwicE, by courtesy called General,
and my orders are from the President
OF the United States, and if you don't
walk those mules I'm id if don't
come over there and put you under
arrest
