THE DISTINGUISH ED VICE ADMIRAL OF THE
GILLIAN NAVY DIES AT SEA.
Vice Admiral Don Patricio Lynch, of the
CHILEAN navy, died at sea on his way from
Spain, where he was minister plenipotentiary
to take the post OF minister to Peru. His body
was landed at Teneriffe. He was the son of an
Irish merchant and CHILEAN woman and was
born at Santiago in 1928. In 1879, when the
war broke out between Chill on the one hand
and Peru and Bolivia on the other, he was still
to the naval service his achievements on land
in this war were the most distinguished of his
lite. With IA mere handful of men he invaded
the northern provinces OF Peru, achieving most
brilliant success. He ravaged the enemy's
territory, sprend desOatiOn far and wide cap.
tured cities containing 10000 inhabitants, and
then, retreating to the south, took part in a
campaign which reduced Lima and termi-
mated in q decisive manner the wax between
Chilli and Peru. Lynch then became COM
mander-in-chief of the CHILEAN army OF oc-
cupation, with headquarters at Lima. That
city, 1t was said, was never better governed,
The piundering OF the capital, the despOiling
etc., under previous commanders were sternly
disapproved and repressed by him. He en-
forced exact discipline and his civil admins
tratiOn was as efficient the military In the
summer of 1888 he had Oeen promoted to the
rank of vice admiral (thc chief Oificer) of the
CHILEAN navy. Later in the year he was offered
the ministry of war and marine, but declined
OF peace between Chill and spain, which was
concluded in 1884, President Santa Maria's
government urged him to accept the place of
ambassador to renew the diplomatic relations
with the Spanish court. This he accepted and
on his way home again died as stated above.

man at the Richmond convention in October,
prominent local member OF the order said
yesterday: cleveland Knights of Labor are
heartily in sympathy with MIR. Powderly's con-

labor questions. Every assembly in Cleveland
will adopt resolution asking District Assem-
bly, No. Al to instruct its delegate to the Rich
mond convention to vote Tor Powderly. Pow
derby is sure to be reelected. The New
England states are solid for him. All the
Middle States will vote for him, with possibly
the exception of one district in Pfttsbury
where the feeling OF the Amalgamated asso.
citation against him is strong, because he saws
that the knights OF Labor must be the first or
ganiZaiion of the kind In the country The
the exception OF the Springfield district will
vote tor Powderly, Indiana is solid for him, and
Illinois has only one doubtful district in the
northern part of the state. The northwest is
for Powderly, as is the south. The three kick
ing districts may not vote for Powderly but
members of the order in the west and SOUTH
west will work and vote for Irons. / do not
take any stock in his saying that he is not n
candidate. He has been before every con-
vention, and last year succeeded in gaining a
nomination and several seconds. II Powderly
is defeated there will be a bolt, but Powderly
himself will never leave the order. Since the

that our grand master workman will receive

with two expansions at their -apRer end, to
which the greater and lesser Round Tops might
notnaptly be lfkened. The end of the ridge CORE
spending TO the point OF the fish-hook rested on
Rock Creek, q little east OF south from the town.
The curve was directly south OF the town, bulg-
Ing towards 1t, and was the site of the cemetery
which gives the ridge Its name; thence, trending
little west Of south, ran the long stretch OF the
ridge, corresponding to the shank of the fish
hook, and terminating In the two Round Tops
which have compared to the terminal hanges
of the Old-fashioned fish-hook.
1here mas been some controversy as to WhOm
was due the credit of having selected this ridge
as the position of the Union army, Gems. Rey-
nolds, Hancock, and Howard each being as
signed 1t by partial admirers. l do not think
that any phenomenal acuteness was necessary
to enable an intelligent commander to recOg-
nize It's value as q military position: The fact
II, that all three of the generals named did recOg
nize Its importance, and each in his turn
selected 1t for the Immediate purpose with
which he was individually concerned, Rey-
nolds as the place for his reserve in the first
days Tight, Howard as the rallying-pOint for
his corps when wOrsted, aud Hancock, who
was sent forward by Meade virtually as COM
mander In chief al Interim as the position for
the whole army to deliver battle from.

The phvsfcal Differences.

Now, can any one seriously argue that, on
the physical side, divergence of pursuits and
habits is not indicated for the sexes? The COM
mon sense of mankind has long ago answered
the question, and even our female reformers, l
believe, admit that blowing and driving cattle,
soldering and sailOring are not appropriate to
women, nor feeding and rocking children,
nursing the sick, and keeping house, to men.
Not that women have not much physical
strength and energy in their own kind as men
In theirs. but that energy appears to have q diff
ferent scope. Men would find the common
some; man, tor instance, would certainly not
cultivate manly strength and energy child's
nurse; yet the nurse exercises a great deal OF
strength. carrying and nursing heavy child.
The ignoring of this differentiation of physical
energy in the two sexes is always the note
OF burbarism or degradation among man
KIND. Where you tnd women put to tasks
which do not suit with their physical cOnstitu.
ton and functions-a practice always evil
nave q people low In the scale of humanity
Now. human nature being all of piece, it is
but reasonable to think that a divergence as be-
tween the sexes in pursuits and habits which
Is strongly indicated, and admittedly wise on
one side OF it, is likely to be wise on the other.
The energy of women, as 1t differs In kind and
In scope from that of men in physical matters,
so differs in moral and intellectual matters.
NO doubt 1T Is not SD easy to discriminate be-
tween the intellectual and moral powers of
men and women as between their bodily pow
ers; but there is a real difference throughout
their being, and it ought to be (as at present it
practically isl recognized in the scope of their
action as members of the commonwealth
