A Smart Peruvian.
New York Sun Correspondence.

New York Sun Correspondence.
 It is said that the Peruvians cauno, fight that they were vessels of clay be- fore the mighty chili ans. and the record of the late war does justify this assertion bat the local papers tell of woman in the northern part of the republic who should be organiz d iuto battalion all alone by herself. The name of the Peru Gree nhouse, when tran. lated into Eng lish. At the age of IS 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 a whole con- vent where she was sent to be educated in ethics and urbanity, as they call deco rum here, leaving the mother superior in a condition that will probably make her a permanent cripple. Then she whipped the jefe politico, or mayor of the to Wn where she had the honor to reside, be- cause he threatened to put her in prison, and the following day cowhided the edi- tor of the local paper who made some sarcastic allusions to her belligerent ca- reer. The priest of the parish was called upon to remonstrate with the young woman, and taking offense at his admo- hilton, 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 one far enough, and announced the excommuni- cation of the lady from the church. This rather sobered her, and she and her friends sought to make peace with the outraged ecclesiastics, who agreed finally to revoke the penalty of excommunica- ton if she would get married and have a man of her own to beat and bully, instead of destroying convents, disabling padres and despoiling altars. This she agreed to do, but there wasn't marriageable man in all the country who would accept the girls hand, although hei father of fered a liberal dowy. They preferred going into the army. Finally an old war rior named Macario Lerio Monteblanco, or Mir. White Mountain, aged 86, hero of three wars and brigadier-general in the last, agreed to subjuga,e the damsel if a dowry of $50, 900 vas turned over on the wedding oay. Her father was only too glad to accept the proposition, and Miss Greenhouse became Mrs White Mountain. Alter the wedding she pulled the bishops nose and then went home to make her new husband happy. The old gentlem an IS said to be expert in hand ling the lasso, and he proposes to tame her as they do wild horses on the llanos. The outcome of his efforts have not been learned.

THedladnm VS.. TMedledee.

Senator Harris modified his reported
interview by making a fuller and am
pier statement of almost exactly the
same sentiments attributed to him. We
have examined both statements side by
side, closely, and there is no material
difference, except in the latter he goes
more into detail. All who know
anything OF the honorable senator's pc
culiarities know how bOisterously pos
tive he is in expressing himself some~
times. We doubt not he spoke in just
bout such a strain to the reporter, but
it looked little too positive in print,
and so he sits down and in ealmer mood
and gentler phrase says about the same
thing. But granting his last contra
diets his first and that it is his true posi-
ton, we still claim that he has called
halt on the wreekers. Under ordina-
ry circumstances, as propositions, the
CITIZEN could readily agree to every
item of his letter, 1t is modified
statement of the power of the general
government to regulate Interstate COM
merce. He does not claim the power to
ii x the rates absolutely, but only to fix
limits so as to prevent extortion and
discrimination. The commission he
proposes has not the autocratic, pro-
prietsry powers of the late Tennessee
concern, but Is only advisory and judi
cial in its nature. We repeat then that
the senator has called a halt on the
wreckers. There are ills to be cured in
railroad management in Tennessee and
the remedy lies in some such way as
the senator points out, but we shall OBJ
ject to any extreme measures now as
long as the measures are to be admin
lstered by men wrought up with spite
and haze. towards the roads, and we will
wait until the railroad interest RECEIVERS
