SUFFERINGS AT IQUIQUE.

where there is absolutely no metal in circu-
latlon, and re all transactions
continue TO be carried on
by means of the notes that
merchants issued last moath for that
purpose. The following is worthy of publi-
cation as indicative, more or less, OF the
actual situation as between the congress

fcent force to contend with his enemies
ABOUT. Ills army numbers 1000
men, strategically distributed, who
troops. In Valparaiso all was quiet up to
June %, when the Ecuador left that port.
Torpedo boats and the "Imperialn had all
returned by that date With re-
gard co the encounter that took
place at Nauemar, it was but
mere sklrmish between 400 men, all told, of
both parties in about equal numbers, but
passengers that arrived in the Esmeralda
were not able to gather any further infor-
nation concerning it. Troops sta
toned in the province of Coquimbo
are still faithful to the government and in
fact, the whole army is 80 well cared for
and disciplined that nothing more could be
desired. 1t is generally believed
that in the next encounter with the
revolutionists great deal of blood Is very
likely to he shed, judging frcm the obedience
and good discipline Of the government
troops, and from the enthusiasm displayed
by the opposite party on behalf Of their
cause. The Juntas fleet is constantly
coasting between Iquique and Collao.
There is no truth whatever In the report
that an expedition of 1000 men had started
from Iquique on Aug. for CoQuimbo; the
only troops that left that fort were
about geo men, the same ones that encoun-
tered the government forces between
Valenar and Hudsco. But on the
day the Ecuador sailed from
Iquique July A. active preparations
we're being made in the organization of the
troops, very likely with the object of under
taking the opposition in the south landed
by the Mapio, and this is very obvious.
The Iquique army was originally composed
of only 1000 men, more or less, while
now it numbers 10000 men. Regarding
these arms landed by the Mapio above al
luded to, 10 is OF interest here to state that
these arms belonged to Balinaceda, but were
cleverly annexed by the Mapio."

made. On the night of July 90 several
stores were burned at Buena Vista. includ-
ing that of young Wilson. The total

ance on his stock Of goods several times

About Sunstroke.

Among probable causes of sunstroke
are the presence of stagnant atmosphere,
excess in diet. as tending to retard tissue
changes, pulmonary oppression by cloth
ing with consequent malaeration, great
physical exhaustion with cardiac fatinue
and the consumption, even in moderate
amount, of alcoholic liquors during hot
weather. The habitual wearing of some
what loose porous clothing, by encouras-
ing perspiration and assisting the re-
moyal of its products, will also contrib
ute materially toward the reduction of
the general temperature.
1t is needful to keep in view the ex-
treme sensitiveness of the cerebro spinal
nerve centers, especially those of the
medulla. The means by which protec-
ton can best be accomplished call for
brief notice. Among these may be men
toned the adoption of the familiar white
reil behind and over the head, the in
tetpostlon of a wet white linen cloth
between head and hat and the effectual
ventilation Of the latter. London Ian.

The Life of q Wooden Leg.

Judge Bacon has had before him in
the Bloomsbury county court an action
OF an unusual character, the subject of
dispute being an artificial leg. The case
for the plaintiffs was that the defendant,
Mr.. DEAFNESS, a railway clerk, was sup
piled by them with an artificial leg,
the price Of which was twenty-five
pounds, one-half of which was paid
when the limb was delivered. At
the time the order was given the de-
fendant was suffering great deal in
consequence of his having for a long
time worn boys leg.
1t was alleged that the leg was a bad
fit, and for that reason he refused to paw
for it. On cross-examination the plain
tiffs denied having guaranteed that the
leg would last for seven years. The or
binary life Of leg with ordinary wear
and tear would be some years, but how
many they could not say. Defendant,
who appeared in court wearing the leg,
which he offered through his counsel to
remove for his honor's inspection, an
offer which was not accepted, said the
limb was Of no use to him, as it hurt
aim very much, but he was Obliged to
continue wearing it because he had no
other.
He was not man who could afford
new leg every year, and he bought this
offending limb on the representation
hat he would be able to wear it with
comfort for seven years. Plaintiffs had
altered it once or twice, but still it was
very uncomfortable, and he now asked
to be allowed to give the plaintiffs back
their leg and to have his thirteen pounds
returned. His honor thought the leg
was good fit and gave judgment for the
plaintiffs for the amount claimed, with
costs. Pail Mall Gazette.
