1t had been day of excitement and
fatigue, and 1T was luxury to rest upon
the bench III front of the house where we
were stopping, and listen to the sweet
a3ed old woman, our hostess, who was
knitting by the door and trying to talk
to US, writes Mary J. Holmes, the novel
list, in the September Ladies' Home
Journal. The streets were full of people,
thousands of them who had come to see
the play and we're now going home. The
kigh and the low, the rich and the poor,
Americans and English, Germans and
French, lOstling against each other, and
anxious to gee away; the titled lady in
silk and satin, whose destination was
Munich or lnnspruck, and the lowly
peasant woman Ill her cotton gown and
wooden shoes, who thought nothing of a
walk OF sixteen miles, which must be ac-
compllshed before she reached her home
far up among the Tyroese hills. Ga Mt.
kOfel, where The huge cross was standing,
the sun was still shining with bright
ness which the old woman pointed out
with the words, See the glory showing. "
And truly, 1t was a glory which that
sunset threw over all the hr-cIad sides of
the mountains; and when the red disk
disappeared behind tall gray peak and
the purple shadows began to creep across
the river and the valley and up to the
heights where few white, misty clouds
were floating, it was easy to understand
why the superstitious fancy of the woman
there was in ev,ry cloud an angles face
come to view tire scene of the great
tragedy, and to keep watch over the
tomb which, too her, was more really in
Obcr amergau than in Jerusalem. How
the colors depended and changed as the
day faded, until, at last, there were only
few bars of crimson and gold marking
the spot where the sun went down. Then
suddenly to the opposite side of the val
ley, where the jagged peaks were piled
hSgh above each other, there came lum-
inoIs light like that which heralds a fire,
except that it was soft and ana silvery,
and the rocks and the trees and hills grew
white and ghostly rs the moon rose higher
in the heavens and brought into greater
distinctness the little town with its
humble, low-roofed houses. nearly each
one OF which held an actor, who was
either sleeping quitely liter the days ex-
element or praying for grace and
strength for the morrow, when the
work must begin again.
&" lis like where he has gon3, the old
woman cried, dropping her knitting, and
folding her hands reverently as the moon.

wondered If the city which needs no sun
by day nor moon 10y night, could be fairer
than this scene on which | was gazing.

At one year old the colt should be per
fectly gentle and familiar with the halter,
bride, saddle and the different parts of
the harness, and should be accustomed to
follow readily when led by either the
halter or bride, and to stand tied either
in company with other horses or alone.
A good beginning will now have been
made, foundation laid on correct princi-
pies, and what remains to be done, though
it is a great deal and very important, will

SANTIAGO, Oct. 5.-The CHILEAN gov
ernment has so far evinCed no intention
of abandoning its position that ii has a
perfect right to arrest persons as they
enter or leave the precincts of the Ameri-
can legation. But while insisting
upon the possession of this abstract right,
the government is at present making no
attempt to put 1t In practice. The par
tisans OF Balmaceua who took refuge
under Minister Egan's roof are still
there and no arrests have been made
during the past few days. 1t cannot be
learned that the government has IN com
temptation any plan of asserting in the
near future the right of arrest that is
claimed but it is thought the present un,
satisfactory situation cannot be of long
continuance.

from the state department at Washing.
ton, Minister Egan has given the juntq to
understand by formal and official
notice, that If the Gillian au
thorlties continue to maintain their
present altitude friendly relations be-
tween Chill and the Unite2 States will be
interrupted. The JUnta's reply to this
notice is awaited with great interest,
What Minister Egans next step will be
in case the reply is unfavorabe is not
known.
The United States fl rgship San Fran
cisco, which is returning from the north,
is expected to reach Valparaiso
some time this week. When
she gets into port the present
plan of the American minister is to ask
the Gillian government to allow the
refugees now at the United States legation
to go on board the United States man-of-
war Baltimore and take their departure
from the CHILEAN territory.
