nifty years since independence, with it's
long series OF revolution, civil wars, and
foreign despoliation, with its list of sixty
/ six administrations, nearly every one Of
wnioh was oYerthrOWn by violence, that
the people OF Peru are incapable both of
/ governing themselves and of protecting
/ their rights against foreign invaders, and
ne wants that grand republic" as our
/ own country is always called down here,
/ ITO assume control over Peru, in order
that the people may have peace. that the
aDle-6odied citizens can engage in indus
/ Try instead of revolution, and foreign
/ capital can be guaranteed protection in
the development OF the magnificent re-
sources OF the country" This editor is
! preaching sound doctrine as far as Peru
Is concerned but the United States does
not want to undertake job Of this sort at
/ present.
1t is said that the Peruvians cannot
/ night; That they were vessels OF clay be-
lore the mighty Chilians, and the record
OF the late war does justify this assertion;
but the local papers tell of woman in
tue northern part of the republic who
should be organized into battalion all
! alone by herself.
The name of the Peruvian amazon in
Francisco Nillaverde, or Greenhouse
when translated into English. At the
age of 10 she choked and beat her father
within an inch of his life because he
wouldn't take her to bull fight. Then
/ she cleared out whole convent where
she was sent to be educated in ethics and
/ urbanity, as they call decorum here, Ieay-
ing the mother superior in condition
that will probably make her a permanent
/ cripple. Then she whipped the Jefe Po-
lltco, or Mayor, of the town where she has
the honor to reside, because he threatened
/ to put her in prison, and the following day
cowhided the editor of the local paper
VINO made some sarcastic illusions to her
belligerent career.
The priest OF the parish was called upon
! TO demonstrate with the young woman,
| and, taking offense at his admouition, she
blackened both his eyes and Knocked
! him senseless with an image OF st.
Michael which she tore from the altar.
The bishop thought things had gone far
enough, and announced the eXcommuni-
/ cation OF the lady from the church. This
rather adhered her and she and her friends
sought to make peace with the outraged
ecclesiastics, who finally agreed to re-
/ woke the penalty OF accommodation if
she would get married and have man Of
her own to beat and bully, instead of de-
stroylng converts, disabling padres, and
despOiling affairs. This she agreed to do,
but there wasn't marriageable man IN
all the country who would accept the
! girls hand, although her father offered a
liberal dOwry. They preferred going into
the army.
Finally an old warrior named EMacario
LeriC MOnteblancO, or Mr.. White Noun
tain, aged Sc, hero of three wars and
| Brigadier General in the last. agreed to
subjugate the damsel if Gowry of $780,
600 was turned over on the wedding day.
Her father was only too glad to accept
the proposition. and Miss Greenhouse be-
came Mrs. W hite Mountain. After the
wedding she pulled the bishops nose, and
then went home to make her new hus-
band happy. The old gentleman is said
to be an expert in handling the lasso and
he proposes to tame her as they do wild
horses on the Ilanos. The outcome Of his
efforts have not been learned.
