cH1L1 AVID PERU.

Having definitely concluded a treaty
OF peace with Peru, Chill has now en-
forced upon Bolivia her demands for a
truce. 1t is only in nominal sense
that a state of war has existed between
these two republics during the two years
since the fall of Lima. The treacher-
GUS and boastful Bolivians, after. show
ing during the war that they were un-
able to fight, have lately been exhibit
ing their unwillingness to make peace
It is probable that definite treaty will
soon be concluded, and that will bring
the west coast war in all its phases to o
formal end. But peace, also. has her
troubles for these unfortunate South
American republics. In making his
treaty with Chilli Inglesias, the proyis-
ional lead of the government of Peru,
was obliged to cede to the conquerer the
Department of Taranaca, whose rich
guano deposits and nitrate beds are
mortgaged to Peru's foreign creditors.
Chill expressly refuses to recognize this
lien, but offers to pay over to the Peru
Wan bondholders one-half of the net
proceeds of all the guano beds now being
worked. This is not satisfactory, and it
is understo cd that France, Holland
Italy, and Great Britain have joined in a
note in which Peru's right or power to
cede territory to which she had no clear
title is vigorously contested. This is an
old story with these European powers,
especially with Great Britain. 1t was
primarily the clamors of British bond
holders which plunged England into
Egyptian troubles. The government of
the United States will watch with con-
siderable interest to see precisely what
these European powers intend to do
on the west coast to enforce their claims;
though since the Blaine era in our
diplomacy we are without influence or
respect in that quarter.

RELIGION IN FRANCE.

The tendency to 60 to the extreme in
the opposition to clergymen as teachers
in France seems to be very strong among
her public men. Two resolutions have
been adopted by the French Chamber
which entirely cuts all connection be-
tween church and school. One of them
requires all teachers in boys schools to
be laymen within five years. This, it is
said, will turn ont 5000 teachers, whose
places will have to be supplied. Another
clause, which was carried by an over
wheiming majority, forbids state school
masters and mistresses to accept any en-.
gagements, paid or unpaid, in connection
with the church. A public school teach
er cannot serve as member of the choir
or as organist of a church.

Red-Haired Boys.
tFrom the chicago Tribune,

In recent issue OF daily paper ap-
peared the following advertisement:
Wanted "A bright boy. with good recommends
ton from former employer; red-haired perferred.
Inquire at gs B
ihis advertisement caught the eye Of
a reporter, and he wondered what partic-
ular business could demand the ser.
vices of an auburn haired youth. Pos
sibly he was wanted to illuminate a
show-window or to warm small office,
but the reporter could arrive at no salts
factory conclusion. Finally, he resolved
to go to the place aud find out, SO he called
at the number indicated. In was over
the door of a State Street hair store,
and when the reporter sawithe business
sign his thoughts required Ito ssThe
Rape of the Lock" and he believed he
had struck place where red.headed
boys were hired and induced afterward
to part with their hairsute crop in the
interest of auburn haired beauties whose
crop Of hair had failed. App Soaching
the proprietor of the place-a bald
headed man-the reporter expressed his
curiosity at the advertisement be had
seen, and asked if he might learn the
particular desirability of red. haired boys
in that business.
Well, sir" said the man with smile.
II have always found that red haired
boys are the smartest and most ener-
getic.i They are proud and respectful,
and do not cut up like ordinary errand
boys"
',And You think it isdue to the hue of
their hnir?'" ~
"That has been my experience, and I
have no doubt that if people would
notice the fact they would think as do.
In my factory the majority of girls have
red hair, and they go about their work
industriousiy and indulge in no foolish
ness"
This little argument, in favor of red.
haired people should have its effect, and
hereafter the warm.headed man or wo.
man should always have employment,

CHARLEY M'COMAS' FATE.

He was Murdered by his Captors = Chief
Ju Still Alive.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Information
has been received at headquarters OF the
army from the United States consul
general at Matamoras concerning the
Apaohes in Northern Mexico, which
tends to strengthen the belief that little
Charley McComas was killed by his
captors. From talks with Apache
squaws at Chihuahua, recently captured
by the Mexicans, there can be but little
doubt of it. Ju is said to be still
alive and with about twenty bucks is
not over 100 miles north OF chihuahua.
It is reported in that country that if
Gen. Crook had supplies enough in his
Mexican campaign to have remained in
the mountains fortnight longer Ju and
every Apache in those mountains would
have come in. Gen. Crook was com.
PEELED to move too soon on account of
the large number Of squaws and chill.

In an editorial in the April Century it
is stated that in 1882 nearly 1900 MUIR
ders were committed in the United
States, and in 1883 about 1,500. ur-
ing the past year only ninety-tbree muir
derers wese executed, some of whom
held over from 1882. The alarming
disproportion between the number OF
murders and the number of executions
is having a significant effect upon the
public mind, which criminally disposed
persons.will do wisely to heed.
