War's Horrors.
1 he Herald, a newspaper published
in Chili, contains the following descrip
tion of one of tho mast terrible scones
witnessed daring the war with the Pe
ruvians:
The Peruvians fired from tho private
houses at Miraflore with the object of
driving them out. Tho Chilians applied
tho torch. When the progress of the
flames made it impossible for those I
within to remain, the Peruvians began
their exodus. When they were out they
had to meet the enemy's soldiers, who
were watching for them in order to
shoot them down. The corpses of the
Peruvians were laid in piles before the
doors anil walls of the burning houses,
and actually added fuel to the conflag
ration in progress.
If any one of the besieged was happy
enough to escape from tho place of the
struggle, he was soou hunted for and
killed like a rat, and sometimes several
prisoners were kept alive by tho inter
vention of tho officers and commanders,
and were put nnder the charge of a
certain number of officers, more to be
protected than with an object of Wing
escorted. But as soon as any Chilian
soldiers were slain or wounded by those
who continned the struggle, the priso
ners wero formed in line and shot with
out mercy by those who were escorting
them. At other times, Wfore setting
( fire to the house, they tried to blow up
a part of it with torpedoes, in order to
reach the immured Peruvians, and to
kill every one who eonld be found, with
out listening to their piteous appeals
for mercy.
While the commanding officer, Dnvifi
was exhorting several Peruvians who
wero sheltered in a building to sur
render themselves, he was slightly
wounded. It is impossible to givo an
idea of the fury with which the Chilians
wero seized when they saw the way in
which the enemy answered their propo
sitions of a surrender in order to save
their lives. The building was immedi
ately set on fire, the soldiers carrying
everything they could lay their hands
on to assist the flames. In a short time
the Imilding was snrronndeil, anil thero
was no escape left for those who wero
inside. The smoke commenced to suf
focate the prisoners before the fire had
begun to do its work.
In that situation the Peruvians tried
to find away lo free themselves from
such horrid death, bnt every door, every
window, and every part of the building
which eonld have afforded any chance of
escape was barricaded with the corpses
of those who hail tieen butchered. Many
of these unfortunate Peruvians became
crazy, and many tried tofroo themselves
from such a death by crossing tho fire
t which surrounded tho bnilding, bnt in
vain. Onbers jumped from tho top of
the burning bnildings into the streets to

Henry Claj's Courtesy.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Cummer* ml writes as follows: I think
I never saw n more perfect gentleman j
than Henry Clay. He was always con- j
side-rate of the feelings of his brother i
man, and even when sorely tried never j
said or did anything which could jKwai
bly offend the lowliest of them. I re- ;
call an instance of this. There lived
lu re in former years a man named Oar
bard, who, though a rough fellow, was
an ardent ndmirer of Mr. C'lav and a
personal acquaintance.
During one of Mr. t'lay's visits Gar
bard came up to the Springs, arriving
at night in a sad state of intoxication.
He wanted to be shown where Mr. Clay
was, and insisted upon seeing him.
With some difficulty wo persuaded hira
that he must wait until morning, and he
finally said: "Well, jnst let me SIT his
foot tracks; that w ill do me to-night."
The next morning 1 started with n
friend to Mr. (.'lav's house and found
him surrounded with distinguished gen
tlemen, both of this country and abroad.
Thero wero senators and jndgos anil
foreign ambassadors present, all en
gaged in discussing, I lieliove, some in
tricate question of foreign policy. Tlie
gentlemen present would throw out
some problem or other, like a tub to a
whale, for Mr. Ciaj to play with, as it
were. Mr. Clay was seated at the end
of the room furthest from the door,
when who should come marching into
tho room hnt Mr. Garbard. He had
with him, too, an Italian dwarf in fan
tastic dress, with hells on his hat, who
was a ventriloquist and a mountebank
generally. Of course the appearance of
such a couple in such an assemblage
created no little commotion.
Garbard pulled his hat off, and
marching tip to the roan of Ashland,
said: " Oood-morning, Mr. Clay."
"Good-morning, Mr. Garbard," said
Mr. Clay.
"Well, Mr. Clay," continued the
other, " I know yon are a good judge
of men and fond of music, so I brought
this man up to amuse yon. He can imi
tate any man or animal in the world,
and I'll have him go throngh his pro
gramme for you."
l-.veryltody else in the room was
altashed at the man's forward manner,
but Mr. < lay arose and stepped forward
as though he was interested in the ex
treme.
Then the follow l*egan his imitations.
I could not stand it and wont ont of the
room, as did many others. Finally Mr.
Clay went up to the fellow, and, taking
a fft bill from his pocket, said:
"I appreciate your efforts, but I know
yon must be extremely fatigued from
your oxercises, and trust you will not
attempt anything further," and the man
went off.
The discussion was never resumed,
and the party sdl came down on to the
grounds after that, but it was the finest
exemplification of " a step from the snb
lime to the ridiculous" that I ever wit
nessed.

National and race prejudice is curi
ously illn*tr,tod by the recent move
ment of a representative of the Celes
tial empire to break np the Chinese
educational mission at Hartford, Con
necticut. While the hoodlums of Sin
Francisco woi stoning inoffensive
Mongolians in the streets, while the
Kearneys were Asserting with rhetorical
vehemence and virulence that "the
Chinese must go," and were urging the
adoption of means, by law and beyond
the law, to that end, comparatively lit
tle was heard in the way of imperial
remonstrance. At all events no order
came from home to the Chinamen en
the Pacific coast to empty their wash
tulis, quit their qnarler* and return to
their native land. Perhaps a reason
for this apparent indifference may be
found in the fact that the |erseention
of the Mongoliana did not make them
any less Mongolian. On the contrary,
it separated them from the rest of the
population and confirmed them in the
habits of a peculiar |>eople. Whatever
this explanation may lie worth it is cer
tain that the ill treatment of the Chinese
in Han F'rancisco caused no such ex
citement at home as has their good
treatment at Hartford. The breaking
np of the educational mission is as
cribed to th<? discovery that the students
were losing their national anil race
characteristics, or to tlio fear that they
would lose them. Home of them had
gone so far as to cnt off their queues, to
wear Caucasian garments, to eat, drink
and behave like Western barbarians. It
looks as if the empire does not caro
much how grossly its subject* are
abused so long as they hold fast to their
peculiarities and continue distinctly
and indomitably to be Chinsmon; while
it will not tolerite oven a temporary
wsy of life which tends to merge their
identity with that of a strange people.
"The effect of their sojourn," the* im
perial commissioner said in anlwlance,
" was to alienate the boys from their
country and its cnatoins, to undermine
the most sacred traditional principles
of government snd society, to implant
and foster seditious idoss, which would
become the germ of social if not civil
and religious troubles among their own
people."

Milk as nil Aliment.
An English physician, Dr. Duck
worth, of the Hoy a I Ooll'-go of I'liysi
cians, has recently put forth an import
ant paper in the Prurlitinaer on the in
sufficient use of milk as a diet, and
shows the serious effect of the neglect
of this indispensable nutrient on
national health. His warning is most
timely in an ugn when so many arti
ficial viands tend to destroy the appe
tite for nature's simple and normal
food supply. An eminent physiologist
has ]>ointed out that while "all other
matters appropriated by animals as
food exist for themselves or for the use
of the vegetable or animal of which
they form u constituent part, milk is
designed and prepared by nature ex
pressly as food, and is the only mate
rial throughout the range of organiza
tion that is so prejwrod." Pure milk
in sufficient quantity is as necessary for
the body as pure air, but, as Dr. Duck
worth shows, its use among those who
can afford to buy it has so decreased
even in the rural districts of Great
Britain its to amount almost toa milk
starvation. The minimum quantity re
quired for the preservation of health,
he calculates, is five quarts per diem to
a family of t<-n, and not less than a
quart daily to each child. "If this, or
anything approaching this, were the
rule instead of the exception," he is
confident that the disease of "rickets, "
in its manifold phases, would be com
pletely banidied from this country, and
a much higher standard of health and
robustness would unquestionably pre
vail.
If this conclusion holds at all true for
Groat Britain it will hold much more so
for the I nited States. The humidity
of the British isles insures a compara
tively equable climate, which makes
few heavy drains on the human system,
while in America, especially in the
West and Northw- st, the ooaseh *s and
extreme alterations of temperature and
the aridity of the atmosphere, which in
duces a great waste of tie- body by
evaporation, makes heavy demands upon
its store of energy. That stor- can only
kept up by good nutrition which
milk, combining a< it does tie four
great staminal principles of human
aliment, is so admirably fitted to sap
ply. The prejn lice which som- enter
tain against it, or the fancy that it dis
agrees with them, may bo removed in
many cases by adding to the milk a
little carlsinat- of soda or <>f line water,
which will enhance its digestibility, and
when drunk for health purpose in
large quantities it i- r - • tifi 1 by adding
a little pepsin.

A Jajianese newspaper, the AVoAi
Nichi Skim/mm, gives an account of the
embarrassments of journalism in Japan.
On the 'J6th of April last Mr. Baiooji,
ea-editor of the 7'oyn Jiy Shtmhtim,
was summoned to the procurator's office
in theTokio Bailtanaho, and "Mr. Mat
susawa, of the editorial staff of the
same journal, was atraigned there in
handcuffs and tied up with a rope
round his loins." The report adds:
" It is very sad to aee journalists thus
treated who have worked for the benefit
of their country." Mr. Malmixawa'a
sole offense is said to be that of publish
ing a statement that the mikado had
instructed the minister of the imperial
department of the household to order
Mr. Satonji to resign the editorship of
hia journal.
