The Chinese Government having (through the
Hon. Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com
pany the privilege of connecting the great sea
ports of thoEmpho by submarine electric tele
graph cable, wo propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine bundled
miles at once, between the following ports, viz:
Canton
Macon
llong-Koug..
Swaiow
Amoy
Foo-CUow
Wau-Chu
Ningpo
Hang Choan,
Shanghai
Total.
These porta have a foreign commerce of 5900.-
000,000, uud an enormous domestic trade, beside
which wo have the Immense Internal commerce
of the Empire, 'radiating from those points,
through in canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, uud establishing a speedy
and trustworthy means of communication,
which must command there, as everywhere else,
the communications of the Government, of busi
ness, and of social life, especially In China. She
has no postal system, uud her only means now of
communicating luiormution Is by couriers on
land, uud by steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China is a very
largo country, in the mam densiy peopled; but
few yet realize that she contains more than a
third of the human race. The latest returns.
mado to her central authorities for taxing pur
poses by the local magistrates make her popula
tion Four Hundred and Ihurtcen Millions, uud this
Is more likely to ho under than over the actual
aggregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.—
Her civilization Is peculiar, but her literature is
as extensive as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex?
ceedlugly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early Informa
tion. It is observed in California that the Chi
nese make great use ol the telegraph, though it
there transmits messages In English alone, lo
day great numbers of lleet steamers arc owned by
Chinese morcuauls, and used by them exclusive
ly for the transmission of early intelligence. If
the telegraph wo propose, connecting all their
seaports were now In existence, it is behoved
that its business would pay the cost within the
first two years of Its successful operation, and
would steadily Increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends Itself as In a greater
degree remunerative to "capitalists, and to our
whole people. It Isof a vast national Importance
commercially, politically, and evangelically.
&u-Tho stock of this Company bus been un
qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi
ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial

LEGEND OF THE MOSS-ROSE
TKAXSI.ATKD FROM Till: OKHMAX,
Within a forest’s dark ravine,
Soft us a velvet carpet, green,
A Led of fair moss grow.
Half hid In gloomy shade, the eye
Might pass Us tiny wonders by,
Nor once Us beauties view
At darning rose and forest loaf
Glanced the meek moss and sighed In grief,
“Heaven gavo'nocharms to me;
Though many feet above me tread
No eye remarks my mumble b«d—
AH fairer beauties see.”
Put sec! at eve, within the grove,
The weary Saviour comes to rove
With pale and bowed down bear
With wounded foot ho wanders slow,
And fools with Joy the moss below,
And pooling carpet spread.
Long wandering in the desert land,
ills feel, burnt with the sun and sand,
The tender moss caressed.
The saviour spoke: “ With tender care
y\y Father’s hand hath made thoo fair,
Ami kindly thee hath blessed.
'• What oye so dull timl blind can bo
As In thy hoauty not losco
Thy pleat Creator’s care?
Thou plant, that all unmarked doth lie,
Tlum hast not missed my Father’s eye,
Thy lot with patience hear.’’
Thus Jesus spake; and wondrous lair
From the low moss there sprang in air
A sweet and radiant rose.
Us name soon came to be;
Now, emblem of Humility,
In every land it grows.
Tho moss the Saviour’s weary feet
Kisses and makes his sorrow sweet.
And with reward o’erilows.
O, heart I bo ever meek and pure.
If, like the moss, distress'd. bo sure
Already buds thy lose!

SAVED.
Wli.t, Minnie Hatch, pretty, relineM,
and tlie pet of wealtliy parents, who
had suitors of her own rank sighing at
her feet by the dozen, should marry
poor Kalph (jcrlstuin, no one could im
agine- .
But she did it; and old Peter Hatch,
with a great oath, all unheeding ids
wife’s clnsxicd hands and tearful plead
ing for her only daughter, swore that,
since she had chosen a beggar, she might
live a beggar forever before one cent of
Ids money should go into her posses
sion. And Minnie knew his stern, un
yielding nature too well to doubt Idm.
Yet for all that they were happy.—
And old people shook their heads and
prophesied every conceivable disaster.
(Do old people ever fail to see starva
tion and eternal ruin in a love match ")
And young lovers grew triumphant,
and pointed to the Gerlstoins as an ex
ample of what true love would do over
poverty and opposition. Not that they
grew rich—as young folks always do
that marry for love in romances. Far
from it. Hut Kalph hired a pleasant
little farm, and, with his skillful gar
dening, and Minnie’s good housekeep
ing and little dairy, they had enough to
make them more than comfortable.—
After a while two rosy-eheeked chil
dren came to make their home brigh
ter. And Kalph, sitting in the little
parlor after, the day’s work was over,
with baby voices or baby hands cares
sing him; or, dearer than all, Minnie
coming in through the twilight, through
the great orchard, almost as beautiful
as a lark, to meet him—wondered if all
the wealth that made old Hatch a hard,
unhappy man, and sent his wife to iier
grave Inuken-hearted by the edict that
separated her from her daughter, could
have made thorn any happier.
Hut trouble came to them, as it comes
to us all.
One night the twilight deepened into
darkness, and darkness into midnight,
and still no Kalph came to the cheerful
kitchen where Minnie kept the dainti
est of suppers and warmest of fires to
welcome him.
Hour after hour she waited, chiding;
her fears, stilling the dull pain at her
heart by the delusive hope that some
Unexpected event had detained him.
Until at last, after the children had
gone to sleep in the tiny' bed by the
llre-place—for the lirst time without
Ralph’s good-night kiss—she started out
into the winter night, brilliant with
starlight and icy splendor, to find him.
Hours afterwards she found him—
crushed, bleeding and insensible—deep
in the heart of the forest, where the
arms of the oak that Jus own good axe
had felled, held him pinioned firmly.
It; was a long sickness, that lasted un
til spring came, with opening leaf and
purple blossom. A costly sickness, that
left them with stock and furniture mort
gaged, and no means to pay the rent
that was nearly due. And the land
lord had warned them that they must
leave unless the money was ready, for
the farm was a fertile one, and others
were a,nxious to.secure it.
And then Minnie wrote to her father.
“ Not for my sake,” she said, “ not
for Ralph’s, but for the children’s.” . A
mother’s love will overcome pride, a
mother’s tenderness fears no difficulty,'
forgets all injuries.
The answer was as brief and jutiless
as the man that wrote it. “ Leave your
husband, and you can come home again.
As for Ralph, X will pay his passage to
California. Thousands are making
their fortunes there, and why shouldn’t
he make his with the rest of them?”—
Cruel as it was,a grim smile lighted up
Ralph’s face as he read it. “ More gen
erous than 1 expected,” ho said quietly.
u I think we had belter accept his of
fer.” Do not blame him, reader. Be
fore them,on one side, was poverty; on
’ the other, a home for Minnie and the
children, to say nothing of the possible
fortune awaiting him in the distant Kl
dorado, where wealth camp for the mere
seeking.
And so it was decided.
Nothing hut their Jove for the two
blue-eyed children would have made
them do it. Together they would have
dared any poverty, any suffering, hut to
blight the future of the young lives in
their care, that was different.
Yet even old Hatch himself turned
away with moist eyes when they part
ed, and all through the long day the sad
wife watched the dim sea-line, where
the white-winged ship had passed into
what seemed the misty opening of an
unknown world.
The months wont by, for it took
months in those days to make the voy
age, until at last there came a letter.—
Ho was in the diggings,.safe and well,
and spoke cheerfully of the future open
ing before him.
Two years after there came another
letter that brought happiness and peace
to waiting Minnie, and querulous ex
clamations from her father.
“ Wealth has come to mo,” he wrote,
“more than I ever hoped for, and I
shall set out with a party to cross the
plains this summer. In six months, at
the farthest, I shall expect to see what
is dearer to me than all my gold—you
and the children.” That was the last
they heard from him.
*■ Two months went by slowly. Sum
mer, winter and spring-time, ami no ti
dingsreachcd Minnie. Once they heard
stories that made the young wile’s
checks grow white with terror. Vague
rumors of Indian depredations, of pris
oners burned at the stake, or carried in
to captivity. Still more hopeless,'from
its lingering tortures, and then years of
silence.
Softened by the great sorrow Hint he
know had been caused by his coldness
to Ralph, her father had lost milch of
Ills sternness, and every reparation that
money could bring was lavished upon
her. Others, among them an old sui
tor, one her father had favored, olfcred
their sympathy; but in her loyalty to
Ralph’s memory she never thought of
him only as a friend.
At last her eyes were opened by an
interview with her father, in which ho
laid before her a proposal that her old
lover had made for her hand in mar
riage. “For your children’s sake, I
would advise you to accept him. My
own life is drawing to a close, or 1.
should not urge you to take this step,”
he said, in conclusion.
The same blind devotion to her chil
dren that had separated her from her
dead husband made her accept the of
fer, only she plead for six months, of
what she knew was almost hopeless
waiting before the marriage
The six months passed away, with
the same ceaseless watch and smothered
hope that the years had passed before
them. “It is for the children’s sake,”
she murmured to herself softly, ns she
sat by herself on the night before the
day that she was to tike now vows that
brought with them no love, only re
spect and protection. A footstep soun
ded beside her, Had the dead arisen?
Warm kisses on lip and brow piovod
that it was no sceptre, and eager lips
told her a story of captivity, of long
years of .suffering, and final escape.—
And only one word came from the pale
lips, a word that spoke worlds of love
for her husband. That word was
“Saved!”

“ I'll tell you of an incident I never iv
lleet on without regret,” said Mr. K ,
as lie turned to the reporter in response
t,o his request for another story :
“ The life of a detective is not one of
excitement merely. It is sometimes
crossed with events as wild and snmlimr
ns ever gave coloring to romance.
No emotion no passion or phase ol
character, is hid from us. Wo learn to
play upon the feelings the hates and af
fections of men and women, as unerring
ly as the pianist on his instrument.
Whilst the cauist would hesitate to take
advantage of this, the necessity we are
under compels us to omit no opportunity
which may lead us to success.
“ Isay this, because the incident I am
about to Mato reveals what a Woman
will do when excited by Jealously ‘ and
thirsting for revenge.
“We were on the track of . man who
had robbed an Havana jeweler of almost
Inealcuable wealth. He had lied to the
United States, and, we believe, was in
the Southern country. At thi- time »w
Orleans was full or Cubans and 'i>itois ,
from all parts of the world. One couple,
peculiar from the rest, excited the atten
tion of the fashionable world, and became
the favored pets of society, which in New
Orleans that winter was perhaps the most
brilliant on the continent. There lavish
expenditures, and almost Eastern rnag
nitieuce of apparel and equipage, excited
the admiration ami envy, it may be, of
their fashionable acquaintance. They,
too, were Cubans. The man, inheriting
all the peculiarities of the Spaniard, was,
in appearance, a type of his race But I
cannot describe to you the woman Unit
passed as his wife. She was the most
beautiful creature I ever saw. The ideal
of the poet, when he painted the dark
eyed maiden of Khorassan, was realized
in her person. Site seemed to me like
some living, beautiful idol for men to
worship.
The tint of olive was on face and blow,
ami in the dark, luminous eyes a wealth
of a lied ion ; but they told, too, of a spirit
resentful of injustice, and tierce iu wrath
as the glare of her native sun.
15y the devious paths we pursued, when
on. the trial ol the criminal, we traced
“our man” to the city. We knew ho
was here, and sve searched for him inces
santly. But, us of if to brulk our exer
tions and put to shame our eflbrlu, this
was all we could learn. The Spaniard
was the only person who answered the
description of the criminal. But what
folly to suspect him ! the petted courtier
of society—that millionaire—he would
have laughed our suspicion to scorn.—
But still we hung around him. By a
strange, magical influence it was impos
sible to divorce ourselves from the belle!
that he was the party that we were in
search of. This constant attendance at
the places he frequented, this hovering
around the sphere in which he moved,
made us at last acquainted with the (act
that his wife was unhappy and ill-treated
by her husband. He had begun to ne
glect her, and pay assiduous court to a
fashionable belie. One night we -aw
him enter the theatre with a fair Amen
can, and entering a private box wa- pay
ing her.the most devoted, atteninai. —
Shortly afterwards a woman, whom we
at once perceived was his wife, hut evi
dently disguised, entered, ami passing
around to the dress-circle took usual di
rectly facing him. £
By a strange coincidence she wa* right
by me. She looked at the couple in the
box long and earnestly ; her face, which
we could see from our position, gradually
changing to an expression of the most
fearful and vindictive passion I ever be
held. Accustomed as I was to every
phase of human emotion, appalled me.—
At last she arose and left the theatre, by
an attendant. Now was our time, I got
up as quietly and was by her side win*
she reached the street. I was determin
ed on a stroke of policy, which, if I read
her countenance aright, would place the
man in our power If f was tnisaken it
could not do harm. Actuated by this
impulse I placed myself in front of her,
and, raised my hat.
“Madam, pardon me.”
“ What do you wish, air, and who are
you?”
“My name is F . This is my
fiiendMr. I . We are detectives,
uud in search of the robber of the Havana
jewels. We believe you can point out to
us the man.”
“I cun, I can!" It was almost
shriek, so fierce and bitter hissed the
words, “Como with mo, come with me!"
It is useless to detail what followed.-
The next morning the fashionable world
was shocked b* the intelligence of the
arrest of Don C 11 , hut it
was still more surprising that he was be
trayed by his wife. We tecoveic-il near
ly $100,GUI) in jewelry and gold. But to
the poor woman the result was ten ible
She was but the victim of h's perndy ;
but the moment she saw him arrested all
of the old love that had ruined her re
turned. She clung to his neck with a
wild, frantic despair that was terrible to
see. The anguish of the young face will
haunt me to my dying day. The next
day she disappeared, no one knew whith
er ; but the day afterwards the body of a
beautiful unknown woman was picked
up oh the lower coast, a suicide.
comvrn s proposal
“ I tell you what it is, girls, it would bo
glorious fun to lake advantage of leap
year, ami propose to some cross old bach
elor, and sgo what he would do about it,”
said/Jobweb, to the rest of us girls, as we
were taking a walk one night, not long
since; “what do you think about it,
girls?”
We all agreed (hat it would be glorious
fun.
“ Hut who has pluck enough to do it?”
said Lou Wilson.
“ Who, indeed, but your humble serv
ant,” said Cobweb.
“ Oh, yes; Cobweb can do it to perfec
tion,” said Kan Clark, clapping her
hands in high glee, “and you know the
rest of us will ho around where we can
hear all the fun,” said I.
“ Hut, Cobweb, how will you manage
it?” said Lou. “ I know you are equal
to any emergency, but I don’t seem to
think of any oue you could practice on
tills lime.”
“ Well, I do,” said Cobweb ; “ so keep
still a moment and I will unfold my
plan.”
“Co ahead,” said all of us in concert,
for well we know there was something
rich on hand, when Cobw’eb put on that
face and manner.
“ Well, girls,” said Cobweb, with a
smile, “you know there is to bo a Heap
Year Ball next Monday night, at the
town hall, and I shall ask “Old Black,”
as we girls call him.”
“ Oh .” said Lou, “ you will never dare!
he would annihilate you with one of his
looks.”
“Oh, sho! don't you believe yourself.
1 rather think Cobweb is up to that sort
of things.”
“ Well, Cobweb,” said I, “ get the pro
gramme all' arranged, so that we can hear
al! the fun.”
“ Oh, yes, yes,” said she, “ that is all
right.”
Well, we got everything all arranged
before we went homo that night, and
could hardly wait to see how it would
work. First, I6t me describe' “GUI
Black.” In the first place, ho is not old,
hut a line looking man of about thirty
live years; but his still, dignified man
ners, and the fact of his being unmarried,
gave him the title of “Old Black,” his
real name being Mr. Levi Black, and the
owner of one of the finest farms in the
town of II whore he lives alone with
an old housekeeper.
The next day Cobweb sent him an in
vitation to the ball, which was promptly
accepted; and Cobweb was iu high glee.
The wished for night- at length arrived,
and we were all on tip-too, you may well
believe. Cobweb went early; she drove
up to the door about half past seven,and,
running up the steps, rang the boll. The
old housekeeper came to the door, ami
looked as though she thought Cobweb
was crazy when she asked for Mr. Black,
but she managed to ask her to walk in,
and she would tell her master she wanted
to him.
“ But what-umler the sun that chit of
a thing wants of Mr. Black, I don’t see,”
die muttered, as she went out.
Cobweb sat down and waited with all
patience. Soon she came back, saying
he would be ready presently. Cobweb
waited an hour, and lie did not come;
then another hour and no Mr. Black. —
She was about to ring for some one to
find out what the trouble was, when in
he came, all siniles, saying :
“Havel been long? I have been hur
ried so, 1 am all nerved up.”
“Oh, no,” said Cobweb, “you have
been just i.o 'lime at all. Well, we Will
go now, if you all ready; but it seems
hardly possible—you have been so very
quick!” $
“ Oh, yes ; I am quite ready.”
“ Well, now we will go.”
She walled on him into the buggy, and
aicked the robes around him as sober ns
a judge, and gathered up the reins, and*
they were soon at the hall. Oh, how
honored Cobweb looked, as she came in
with Mr, Black banging on iter arm.—
She gave us a look out« f those eyes of
hers that set us all into a laugh ; but all
the while he was as sober as he could bo.
Hut! saw a twinkle in his. eye that
meant mischief. Well, all went merry
a* could be. When supper time came,
Cobweb gave us the wink.to be on baud,
i.> agreed. We all swallowed our supper
a- soon us possible, and went and bid in
a closet that opened out of the ladies’
dre*siug room, where Cobweb meant to
entice him after supper, and then pro
pose to him in the most approved style,
us she said. We could but Ju»t keep still.
Soon we saw them come in. Cobweb led
him to a seat, ami seating herself beside

He looked a little.surprised, butdid not
seem much frightened.
“ I have long loved you and know you
to be the guiding star of my existence. —
Say, now, truly, dear,'darling George, do
you love me? Don’t say no,” said she,
dropping on one knee. “Don’t leave
me without hope. Give me some en
couragement, ami f will be the happiest
woman aljve. Say, darling, do you love
me a little,’’and she looked up into his
face with such a complete counterfeit of
devotion, that we were all convulsed with
laughter. ,
lie looked at her a moment and then
wont oil’into such a fit of laughter os you
never heard.
Cobweb straightened up with all the
dignity she could command, and looked
at him with a face as long.as your arm,
until he stopped laughing, when he look
ed up and said :
“ Well, nmi did that well; better than
I could, Miss Heed; and I am glad you
have done so, for I could never have bad
the courage to pop the question ; but now
you have done the thing—l can only say,
I shall only be too happy to accept of
your heart and hand: Ido love you,.and
‘have for a long while. I overheard your
com ersai ion that night and determined
to take advantageof it. Now lam ready
ta make you the happiest woman in the
world at any time ; thesoouertho better.
What do you say ?”
Cobweb' looked up lo him, and seeing
that .he was-in earnest, wilted, as Lou
said. Then he reached'‘out nia hand and
drew her lo him, saying:
“ Now it rumains Vor you to say wheth
er it shall be binding or not? I am wil

Shall we consider it an engagement oi

held her Ca-f. “ ITomise, then I will let
you go." Sin- promned, and he said,
“ Now, girls, come mil here and persuade
her she had lu-iter marry “ Old Black."
We all came out, looking sheepish
enough, I expeel 1 never saw Cobweb
cornered before; but I think she will
make it all right. We went homo in high
glee, hut Mr. Bould insists upon seeing
Cobweb homo safe, for he said he always
made H a point of duty to look after all

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE
A Visit lo tlio Places of Desolation a Few
Days After tlio Fa fast roplie.
From the Panama Mercantile (.’bronlulo, Si-p
-lumber Hi.]
The shock was folt all along tho coast
from Callao in Peru, to Coquimho in
Chile, and also in the* southern part rtf
Chile, on the loth of August; tin* time
in the northern part was between o:UG
and SAO in the evening, whereas in the
south it was 0 o’clock ; the damaged or
destroyed towns are Chain, Pisco, Ari
ca, Tacna, Arequippa, JMsnqua, Mejil
loncs in Peru ; Iquiquo and Talcahuana
in Chili. In Arlca, the earthquake was
felt at o o’clock, 10 minutes, and lasted
nearly G minutes, during which time
the greater part of the town was de
stroyed, and many inhabitants were bu
ried in the ruins. The more substan
tial buildings stood the shock, Someof
the oldest inhabitants say it was the se
verest and longest shock they had ever
experienced. The poor people had
hardly recovered from their fright,
when they saw the water in the hpy
rise higher than usual, which occur
rence put them into a new alarm, and
everybody who could, tied to the adja
cent hills to save their lives. The wa
ter rose about eight feel \some others
six feet) above high water,and then re
ceded aboutoncmile, leaving the whole
bay dry. The receding water, howev
er,'had* such strength as to draw (hean
chors of the. American ships-of-war
Wateree, the America,an English bark
(Cyren Syres,) and several other ve.-sels.
Tile wave returning carried everything
before it and reached about, half way
into the town, taking with it the woun
ded and dead, as I have not seen a sin
gle person engaged in this occupation.
During tho nights of the Pith and 11th
there must have been a terrible stale of
allairs in the town. The mob wore
drinking all night, and of course rob
bing all who foil under their hands.—
Tho whole town is completely strewn
over with empty bottles, in some pla
ces I found the tables prepared for sup
per, with everything untouched which
shows with what extreme haste the
people had to leave their houses. Pour
heavy pieces of ordinance were washed
from the fort, which is on an island in
the bay, and one was carried about one
and a half miles. One large gun car
riage is in the middle of the ruins.—
The most miraculous escape was made
by a sea captain after the earthquake,
lie was at the dock superintending the
shipment of some goods aboard Ids ves
sels. Ho had two sailors of Ids crew
with him and a small boat; these two
men he sent on hoard to bring some of
tho crow on shore to assist in burying
the dead and to lake care of the wound
ed ; the boat reached the ship nnd
brought off six more men before the
water rose; when they were about half
way back to shore, they felt a very
heavy swell of the sea, and also saw the
water recode,'when they put to sea, and
after being tossed about for some lime,
they came near the 'Wateree, ami by
means of ropes were taken aboard of
her and'saved; the Captain was still at
the wharf when the water commenced
to rise t ho jumped intoa launch, taking
with him a family of a friend who was
near by, and was'earried twice into the
town and back again ; the second time
ho landed fortunately into a house
where the wave could not take him
back again ; in this manner he and the
family were saved. The water rose 5(1
feet above the high water mark. In
tins way the wave came and returned
three times ; the. second wave was, how-*
ever, the heaviest. This set the Water
eo ‘l5O feci from shore, high and dry ; the
third one brought the American on
shore; the hulks of the Fnglish bark
and a brig were placed abouta hundred
yards from the heach, dry ; the Ameri •
can storeship Fredonia was too fast an
chored to have her anchors drawn, and
after the sea had calmed again nothing
could be seen of her, nor of two other
sailing vessels. The numbers of lives
lost in the ships are as follows: Steam
er America, 185 men, (others say 85;)
Wa.toree, 1; Fredonia, 27 ; Fnglish bark,
8; other vessels not known.
How many inhabitants were‘lost hero
cannot be stated, as many left the place
just after the catastrophe. .Some esti
mate the Jos-, Including that of the
ships to be 80i); definitely, nothing can
be said about it, and the exact number
will never be known, as many of the
dead were buried without its being
known who they were: and a friend
who was near by was earned twice into
the town and back again; the second
lime lie landed fortunately intoa house,
whore the waves could not take him
back again ; in this manner he and the
family wore saved. The water rose 5(1
feet above the high water mark. In
tins way the waves came and returned
. three times; tho second wave was how
ever, the heaviest. Thisset the Wateree
•150 feet from shore high and dry, the
third one brought the American on
shore, the hulks of the KnglNh bark
and a brig were placed about 100 yaids
from the bench, dry, tho American
storeship Fredonia was too fast anchor
ed to have her anchors drawn.—
How many were carried into the sea
cannot be' told. Tho former town of
Arica presents the most terrible aspect.
Tho place which I bad seen a few
months ago in the must flourishing
state, and the suburbs all cov red with
gardens and tree-, is now a total mass
of ruins, no f one house remaining lit to
dwell in. The street U not to hereon,
the places where formerly the houses
stood, now present tin* same view as
the street, (‘very part covered with
boards, tiles, bricks, furniture, bedding,
and merchandise, At., everything mix
ed togd Ikt. In some places 1 have
found a terrible smell of dead bodn-s,
but it seems to mo as if the authorities
were not at all inclined to abate the
samb, At Inquiquu, the occurrence
took place at six minutes past live
o’clock.
The shock lasted about six minutes
.and the water rose sixty feet. The
greater part of the town is destroy* d,
including ‘all the business house-.
Some houses were carried a distance of
three or four blocks into the town and
landed in the streets. The number
oflivos lost is estimated at two hundred.
The steamer Santiago, of the P. S. X.
Company, was afanchor at Chain at the
time of the occurrence. Her cable was
broken, ami the ship was carried over a
rock wit liont damage, and having steam
up,she putlosea. As soon ns the news
reached Caldera the American man-of

was supplied with provisions and \\ ater
for the relief of the snllerers. She sail

Ariquipa, at the foul of the Volcano

A, Balloon Intrusion Into n Jjulj'm Bo«l
Room.
While Mons. Goddard was filling an
immense balloon in tho Charnpe de
Mars, ho amused the spectators with
sending up tho small figure of tv man,
the perfect resemblance of Mr. Thiers,
without spectacles. The little man he
ing tilled with gas, rose majestically in
to the air, and was soon lost to view
among tho clouds. His adventures
which became known the nextday wore
curious. Thanks to a strong and favor
able gale, which impelled him in his
course, tho little balloon man arrived
the same afternoon in sight of a line
country house in the neighborhood o I
Kiovro. It was near the hour of din
ner, and the lady of the mansion, who
naturally thought herself safe, was oc
cupied in the mysteries of her toilet.—
It was a warm day, and she hadopemed
one of tho windows which looked out
upon tho park, and was safe from prey
in(r eyes. /
While tranquilly engaged by the as
sistance of corset lacing, in reducing her
waist to the size and shape that would
rolled credit to her husband’s taste, she
was suddenly startled by a blast of wind
followed by a strange noise, and imme
diately the easement was thrown open,
and our little balloon man entered her
chamber, unannounced. Tho lady ut
tered a cry of terror and threw a shawl
over her shoulders. The little man,
driven by the wind, throws bimsell
upon tile unhappy woman, who scream
ed louder than over, pushed him off,
and ho conceals himself under the bed.
Just as tho wife in a supplicating
voice says to tins novel Don Juan: “Ah
monseur, go away, or you ruin me!”
the husband rushed furiously into the
bouse, crying, “Ah, tho wretch, X have
him now!” and goes in search of his
sword to run him through the body.—
Tlie wife more dead than alive, reiter
ates, in tho midst of sobs, “ fly, liy mon
seur, and save me tho sight of a-dread
ful tragedy!” The husband infuriated,
arrives at the’ chamber, armed to the
tooth—followed by tho whole household
to seek to modify his anger. While
two of ids friends hold tho husband, a
third stooping down, percieved our lit
tle friend who, for cause utters not a
word, and catching him by the leg
draws him forth from his concealment—
when lo!' monseur balloon, no longer
held down by tho hcadstead, rinsed
himself erect, swells out and raises ma
jestically to the ceiling, so the immense
amusement of the spectators, while the
poor jealous husband, slunk away,
sword and all. heartily ashamed of his
causeless wrath.”

* k Pity tho blind.” There are few sen
tences more touching than this. Pen
nies rain into the hut of the wayside beg
gar'who bears it upon his breast; for
who among the wayfarers, does not feel
and know that of all the entrances ui
which wisdom may be shut out, the eye
is the most precious. It is a terrible
thing to become deaf nnd speechless,
but Heaven save us from that worse ca
lamity—tho closing of the windows of
the sou!. Yet the bllud are usually
cheerful—especially those who have been
born blind—and Providence seems to
compensate them in some measure for
their misfortune, by sharpening their
four remaining senses. An educated in
mate of one of our Blind Asylums wi<l
make a nearer guess at tho character and
disposition of a visitor, aftershakiug hands
with him and hearing him eon verse, il.au
a phrenologist could make after manipu
lating his head. The blind are geneial-
Iv shrewd and sometimes very carcastie
The common belief in their simplicity,
mildness, and good nature does not seem
lo bo in accordance with the facts. Pro
lessor B?aunderson, tho blind Mathema
tician, once observed of a lady who had
paid him a visit, that she had remark
ably beautiful teeth. “ How can j/vk
know that," said a friend. " Very readi
ly,"replied Saunderson, “ for full a half
hour she did nothing but laugh."
The, born blind, of course, have no tw*-
iomt. They dream, indeed, but their im
pressions in sleep are all derived from
the senses of hearing, touch, taste and
smell. •* Sometimes," said a blind boy.
“ I dream that I tread on the grass, and
smell the fresh air." No rays pierces the
*• ever-during dark," even in slumber.
Royal Pkoi’OSals. —Nicholas, the
Lmpuror of liussi, won hisbrido in a sin
gular way. During a visit to the King
of Prussia, one day, while at dinner, the
Kmperor rolled up a ring in a piece of
bread, and handing it to the Princess
Koval, said to her, in a subdued voice,
“ iV you will accept my baud put this
ring on your linger.” This is the impe
rial' way of “popping the question.
{She look no time to deliberate, but sui
te red her heart to speak the truth at
once, and their happy nuptials- were
soon consummated.
The Koyal way Is illustrated by the in
stance ol Queen Victoria’s proposal m
the man of her choice—and a right wor
thy one it was—Prince Albert.
The Prince hud been out hunting early
with his brother on that day, but return
ed at twelve, aud half an hour afterwards
obeyed the Queen's summons to her own
room, where he found her alone. After
a few minutes’ conversation on other
subjects, the Queen |pld him why she
had sent for him, and we can, well umbo -
stand any little hesitation and delicacy
she may have felt in doing so, for ibc
Queen's position, making it imperative
that any proposal for hnamage should
come lirsl from her, must necessarily ap
pear a painful one to those who, deriv
ing their ideas on this subject from lie
practice of private life, are wont to 10.. u
upon it as the privilege and happiness m
a woman, to have her hand sought in
marriage, instead of having to oiler it bet •
self.

A Candid Tombstone in
