THE SALE OF PERU.

Some people are born rich, some acquire
riches and some have riches thrust upon
them. ThelAmerican aud English capitalists
with Peru may not have riches thrust upon
them, but it seems as if it would be pretty
easy for them to acquire them. These CAPT
talist, in consideration Of their undertaking
to provide for the payment of the Peruvian
national debt to the amount of about two
hundred and sixty million dollars, received
from term of sixty-six years all the railroads
In Peru, with the right to construct other
connecting lines under favorable conditions,
and all the guano and nitrate deposits be-
longing to the republic. Chilli also grants
to the company guano and nitrate rights to
the estimated value of twelve or fifteen mil.
lion dollars for the reason, as 1t is under
stood, that portion of the Peruvian debt
which the company undertakes to pay is
Justly chargeable upon that territory whose
csssion was extortsd from Peru by Chill at
the close of the war between these republics.
The government csdes to the bondholders,
without remuneration, all available State
land which may be necessary for railroads
stations, shops, and other buildings, and
pledges it's assistances in acquiring possess
ion of private lands needed for such purposes.
Free use of the quays is also cedsd, and the
admission free of duty of locomotives, steam
and electric moters for the lines factories,
rolling stocks of all kinds, sleepers coal, and
all material used in construction and repairs.
The government reserves the right to regulate
passenger tariffs upon the lines, before spec-
lied maximum, and freights are to be settled
by agreement between the government and
the bondholders. The rates for the transfer
Of troops and war material of the government
are specified in the contract. The lease of
he railroads carries with it the telegraph and
telephone established in connection with
them. And during the lease of the mines
and railroads the government is to pay to the
bondholders thirty three annuties Of $50, 900
each.
It the capitalists can't make good profit
out of Peru in sixty-six years they are not
the men they are supposed to be. The Peru
vians will be lucky if long before that time
they are not all in the employment of the
company at such wages as they can get.

thing that ONCE happened to Senator Ingalls,.
Mr.. David Lewsley, who was at that time
to hold an interview with the Senator npon
an important matter Of State. The Senator,
who had no intention whatever of being
drawn into conversation on that subject,
met Mr.. Lewsley with his accustomed grace
and courteously vsered the conversation into
other channels. Somehow, for want of anoth-
or handy subject, the Senator said something
about boards, which led to BARRIERS, and Of
course to the general subject of shaving.
"By all means," said Senator Ingalls,, "you
should learn to shave yourself" and then he
went on with a learned thoughtful, and highly
entertaining disquisition on the advantages,
economic and metaphysic, of shaving oneself
rather than hiring a barber to do it. Mr..
Lewsley paid careful attention to all the Sen.
ator said, fixed facts and dates in his mind,
and said nothing. When the Senator had rela-

An Algerian wedding Feast.
[F'rom Ladies' Home Journal
A marriage celebration in Algeria is an in
steresting relic of ancient customs. The
bridegroom goes to bring the bride, and the
guests assembled outside the house wait for
his coming. Soon the sound Of pipes is heard
coming from the summit of some neighbor-
ing hill, and the marriage procession ap.
proaches the bridegroom's house. The pipers
always come first In the procession, then the
bride mufded up in vel, riding mule led by
her lover. Then comes a bevy of gorgeously
dressed damsels, sparkling with silver orna-
ments, after which the friends of the bride
follow. 40
The procession stops in front of the BRIDE
groom's House, and the girls friends line
I both sides of the pathway. The pipers march
off on one side, while the bridegroom lifts
| the girl from the mule and holds her in his
arms. The girls friends thereupon throw
| earth at the bridegroom, when he hurries
| forward and carries her over the threshold of
| his house. Those about the door beat him
| with olive branches, amid much laughter.
In the evening, on such occasions, the pipers
| and drummers are called in, and the women
dance, two at a time, facing each other; nor
does couple desist until, painting and ex-
hausted, they step aside to make room for
another.
The dance has great energy of movement,
though the steps are small and changes of
position slight, the dancers only circling
round occasionally. But they swing their
bodies about with an astonishing energy and
suppleness AS leaves fntter before the gale,
so do they vibrate to the music; they shake,
they shiver and tremble;they extend quiyer.
ing arms, wave wells, and their minds see m
lost in the abandon and frenzy of the dance,
while the other women, looking on, encourage
