PERUVIAN FORTUNE HUNTING.
Mayor GrAco's Scheme to Dig Millions
from south American silver Mines.

Mayor Grsco's scheme to Dig Millions
from south American silver Mines.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE wonder IN
Wall street ia whether there is going to be
a newly inflated South American specula-
tive bubble. That is the outlook as seen
by many shrewd and experienced eyes
among fnanciers; and in case their view
is false, immense fortunes are likely TO De
made legitmately by several operators.
All this conjecture arises from the pur-
chase 1y William r. Grace. the Mayor Of
this city. and his brother Michael. who is
a resident OF Buenos Ayres, Of the I'M
completed railroad from Lima and Callao
TO the crest Of the South American CONT
nent.
SO much publicity has been given 70
this enterprise, aud me particulars come
so freely from the interested parties, that
suspicious OF n carefully formulated boom
have arisen at once. The Graces agree 10
extend the line 10 the mines Of Cerro del
PascO, pump out the water which has
filed them for over "A century, and pay
S35, 900 annually for ninety years for
the privilege OF working the mines. Pri-
vate and published letters from Lima de-
clare tIat millions on millions OF silver is
''in sight and that modern machinery
can extract fabulous wealth merely from
tailings left by the crude processes Of the
Inc5s.
Tales Of the unparalleled riches of the
country in Old times. Of the plumber taken
away by PizarrO. Sir Francis Drake and
other pirates, OF the undevelOped natural
wealth 10 be easily gained, and Of the
ease with which fortunes can be grabbed
down there in various WAYS, are coming
in such plenty that the Interpretation Of
the cYnics seems reasonable. They pre-
dict that within month companies will
be formed for Peruvian development, with
shares TO sell TO all who wish to buy.
On the other hand, Mayor Grace denies
positively that, SO far as he and his broth
er are concerned, requirement Of the
Meigs railroad is preliminary to any
scheme in which the general public will
be asked or permitted TO invest money.
He has all the requisite capital at com
mand, he says, and he ia not responsible
for the sudden n0tOriety which his venture
has gained. Personal friends of the MavOr
scout the suggestion that he would con-
sent to figure as Montague TIgg," and
point TO his present five millions, along
with an ambition to become Governor OF
New York, as proof that he could have no
that way. Nevertheless, wall
street is sure that the next craze in the
realm Of amateur speculation will be Pc
ruvian fortune hunting, and that the
Of the oil fever will be outdone.

COLORED TROOPS IN THE WAR
The Mortality Greatly in Excess of the
White Soldiers.
From the Courier-Joprnal.


WASHINGTON, July 10.-The press
comments upon the recent statistical ex-
hibit of deaths in the army of the United
States during the late war show that the
subject is not well understood, and MIR.
kirkley, the intelligent compiler, is pre-
pairing a further statement which will
correct some material misconceptions
which hasty examination has produced.
For instance, it is not true, as stated by
one correspondent, that above 40 per cent
of the colored troops persisted. The writer
overlooked a marginal ncte to former
report of the War Department, which
gives statement OF the number of men
called for by the President and furnished
by the several States and Territories.
Instead Of 81, IS9 colored troops, there
were lS6,0l7, or more than twice the num-
Der supposed, which embraced only those
that were organized separately, and To
the exclusion of those that were procured
as substitutes and were mustered into
service as parts of the quotas of certain
States.
1t is well-known fact, however, that
the cOlored troops died more rapidly than
the whites. They received the same
rations, and were in other respects treated
like white soldiers, but from a neglect Of
the laws OF health, or from loss OF heart
and hope, they are said to have died at a
greater rate. This IS the more singular
since they were accustomed from infancy
to greater hardships than white men.

The homing pigeon, Maid Of Orleans.
which was liberated at New Orleans on
June 2S, has not yet arrived home. Never
theless, her owner by no means despairs
of her ultimate return. She has a record
Of 125 miles, from Atlanta, Ga, and has
made one 256-mile trip this year. The
Maid is considered an unusually smart
bird, not liable to accident by the way.
The pigeons which took wing from New
Orleans on July : are not expected 10 ar
rive home for "a week on ten days.
"They would probably travel 800 miles
during the first day" said Mrs. Emily ;.
starr yesterday, "but they would be very
tired at night, and, knowing that they
were still far from home, they would wait
for q good rest. II birds don't return in
two days, IL Is almost certain that they
won't be seen inside Of "A week. There Is
a great deal of danger TO De encountered
in these long trips. In the first place.
there are the hawks aud hunters, but
even more bothersome than these are the
fanciers Of pigeons, into whose cots the
birds may ny for shelter over night. Time
and again they are detained until the
trappers are rewarded for releasing
them"

Indications that the Liquor Question

DAYTON, July i3.-As an illustration
Of the earnestness with which the prohibi-
ton cause is being worked in this State
the following remarkable case Of persecu-
tIon of a saloon keeper is cited: John
Plum, an honest young German, ran
saloon in Van Buren, township, this
county The people demanded Of Plum
that he close his saloon. Upon his re-
fusal to comfy they had him arrested,
but he was released on a writ Of habeas
corpus. He was nevertheless arrested
eleven consecutive times, and was releas-
ed the same way as many times. There
are now six more warrants in court for
his arrest, but the courts are becoming
tired Of the persecution and the prohibit
ton people OF the courts delay.
sTIGMATIZED As DRUNKARDs.
The latter got out petition demanding
that Plum be prohibited from selling
liquor TO eight persons named in the Pc
titiOn, whom they claim are drunkards,
though the business men here class them
as respectable and good, sober farmers
and business men. The petition has
nearly 300 signatures, about equally di-
vided between former Democrats and Re-
publicans. The upshot Of the whole af-
fair is that the eight persons named as
drunkards engaged an attorney, who is
now engaged in drawing up petitions
wherein the prohibitiOnists are sued for
100000 for Islander by each of the eight
men.
The prospects are that the prohibition
