Rsyols ofChileau Troops.

NEW YORK, Sept. ga special to
the Herald from Santiago de Chile, via
Galveston, says: The emeute among the
troops of the Junta in this city, which
was caused by indulgence in liquor, was
9 trivial matter compared to the revolt
that broke out at noon Yesterday. In
cluded in the large numbes Of soldiers
stationed here are many volunteers from
Tarapaca and other northern provinces
of Chile. They have been very restless
under the law Of order and restraint that
h,.e followed the occupation Of this city
by the Junta. At noon yesterday, as
SenOr RoH--s-~--a- talking through one
OF the man ..lhoroughfares, he was sua
denly surrounded by an infuriated mob
OF soldiers. They made great outcry
against what they denounced as the in-
Justice OF keeping them any longer in
Santiago, and demanded, with many
threats, that measures should be at
once .aken.to return them to their
homes. They also denounced the food
which has been furnished them, and de-
clared they would no longer submit to
it. AS a consequence Of the turbulence,
Santiago, which has not yet recovered
from the excitement caused by Balma-
ceda's suicide, was again thrown into a
high fever. The news spread rapidly all
over the city, and as it t.svellrd d through
one street alter another it was followed
by closing up all the shops. Farther
trouble was happily ayerted, at least,
for the time being. by the clear judgment
and cool bearing Of the president OF the
Junta, Jorge Montt and Col. Canto.
Their frmuess, coupled with promises
TO the soldiers that their grievances
would be attended to, served to allay the
spirit of rebellion,

A MANS HEROINE.

Some girls are extrolled for their beauty,
And some for their knowledge and wit,
And others for doing q duty
OF hardship and courage and grit;
And some for composing u sonnet,
Or acting and filling hall,
But the girl who can trim her own bonnet
And make her own dresses beats all.
Miss Patti more music may MARBLE,
Rose Bonheur excel her with paint,
Miss Hosmer carve better on marble,
She may not be half OF a saint
But if she can make her own dresses
And trim her own bonnet, we hold
She is-for the husband she blesses-
Worth more than the others all told.
A girl who can make her head pretty
And. also her figure look sweet,
Is, either in country or city.
A prize which no genius can beat;
And when in addition she's able
To care for the babies and cook
We set her right up on the table
And call on creation TO look
Hurrah for this girl and no other
We shout her unlimited praise:
To win her away from her mother
And wed her we're trying always;
She makes man happy forever
BY helping-aS nature ordains-
While those who, alas, are too clever,
But add to his troubles and pains

made by these young fellows to have
all foreigners made amenable to the
laws of the country.
This is manifestly unjust, because
the country is not sufficiently advanced
in civilization. The laws are imper-
feet and made for the rich and not the
poor. For instance, although it is not
generally known, there is no question
but that criminals and in fact suspects
and all prisoners, are tortured by the
authorities to compel confessions. If
this country or England consents to
allow its subjects to be governed by the
native laws it will be doing a great
