Vivid Descr'ptiou o( the Scenes in South America---Terrible Suffering of the TVn ntr—The Havoc Made by the Tidal Haves. William Brown left Chicago some eighteen years ago. lie went hy wav iff California and. knowing that there was no need of hurry, leuminetl on the golden shore* until last July; when with a cargo of flour, he embarked nt San Francisco and steered toward the South. After two weeks' sailing with favorable wind he made port in the harbor of Tquhpie, i Pe ruvian city of considerable commercial impor tance, with n population at that time of ‘JO.- O’M) Inhabitant*. Entering port almost simui ta'.eoas;y with his vessel, arrived the United Stater u' in of war Wn'ere-.. with n full com plumb U of sailors and marines. During n few diii's previous to the earthnuakc t.he Amer icans tint* in rived came frequently together, and on the fata! afternoon, the Ulth of Au gust, n party imdudmg Mr. Brown, were oil a visit to the eastern pi.t of the city. Iqu'que, or the rreater portion thereof, lies upon low groifi. 1. formed in a sort of basin, at the Toot of a considerable mountain range. Some of the hotter class of private residences are built up the mountain side, to tiie height of several hundred feet, hnt the enstrtin-liou e, (he busi ness places, tiie work shops, Ac., were all located upon this low ground, which gradually rose toward the mountain. It was near 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the weather being extremely close and sultry, when the first symptoms of the earthquake were experienced. For many minutes before there were any phys ical demonstrations, everybody seemed filled with a fear of some impending danger, and a general and almost painful uneasiness was observable, especially among the natives. Suddenly the worst fear* were realized. A low, rumbling sound, like the tramp of a thou sand horsemen, was heard in the distance, and, as it rapidly approached, *he earth began to tremble. The party of Americans were only surprised at the strange noise, but tbe nntives. as if guided by instinct, at the first sound of the approaching rumble, left their houses, old and younor, and loft 'he citr. With those who appreciated the terrible dan get that was surely coming, there was but little time for deliberation, and not knowing from what direction to expect the dread powers, and not knowing where there was danger or safety, the people ran in every direction, and thou sand* into the very jaws of death. Ten min utes after[t!i" first symptoms were experienced the work of destruction was completed. Roth land and water had done their work of death, and from that one city of 20,000 inhabitants alone, 15,000 were suddenly called before their Makcß When the party of Americans saw the na tives hurrying towards the mountains, they, apprehensive nf coming danger, followed the example. They had gone hut a few steps, however, when the Carili underneath their feet began to shake and tremble, and other wise comport itself in such a violent manner that an upright position was held only with the greatest difficulty. Simultaneously with these powerful throes of mother earth, there arose a vast and impenetrable cloud, compo sed of dust.sand, and even goodly-sized gravel stones, and wlint the attending darkness allow ed to remain visible tbe dust that gathered in the eyes obscured entirely from view. It was a fortunate circumstance that the party of which Mr. Brown was a member had already •commenced the ascent of the mountain when the dust cloud arose, for in any other direction there lurked almost certain death. The s, nsa tinn one experiences in a first-class earthquake, according to our nirratO", is that of being thoroughly, even outrageouslv. shaken hy about four men. In the great dust-cloud, it was made impossible for one person to see another at his elbow, and as the shocks con tinued and increased, men, women and chil dren were thrown against each other with ter rible force, and to speak adequately of the terror and confusion that prevailed, one would fail in language. The dust cloud that cover ed the earth did not extend higher than twen ty or thirty feet, and in ascending the moun tain n slioit distance an unobstructed view of the scene was obtained. Mr. Brown and his party were at the base of the mountain when the threatened danger warned them to fly upwards, and lienee but a few minutes had elapsed when, in a comparatively secure place, a full view, such as few men ever had of a similar scone, was afforded. The Spanish- Amertcan cities are generally richly endowed with church edifices, adorned with towering steeples, and these wore the first to assume an appearance of recklossness. For a moment they appeared to dance on their bas s, and then swaying wildly to and fro. fell in a con glomerated mass to the earth, crushing what ever moved or lay underneath. Next, the larger class of houses began to show the effect of the repeated shocks, nml one after another, they gave way and fell crumbling to the ground, a mausoleum to all that abided therein. AH of a sudden a terrific shock was felt, the vpry earth seemed for a moment turned up side down, trees were torn from their roots, great rocks camo down the mountain side with terrible velocity, and all the city lay a mass of ruins. It was an awful moment, trying to the utmost the courage and fortitude of the bravest, and with many this terror was so great as to turn their black hair to a silvery whiteness. Scarcely had the force of the great shock abated when anew terror arose. The sea had left jts bed, and, lashed by some internal force into a seething cauldron, rose mountain high i into the mr. It is a trite saying that water | always’ seeks its own level, and, as the ocean rose, it sent ks maddened waters, with resist less fury, over the doomed city, and all who up to that mtiiucnk had succeeded in sustaining life, were now surely doml. Fully three fourths of the city was entirely covered out of sigh*, and as the water again receded all the debris went with it, and in many places where a mo ment before stood the habitations of men, there remained only the Imre ground. There appeal■« to he a prevailing impression that this terrible wave came from far out in the sea, and ns it was carried forward gained in strength, and finally in nil its fury came upon tho laud. This impression is a mistake. The wave really com menced on the brink, and was caused hy the rise of the water. In many places the land was overflown several miles inland, and an idea of tiie height to which the water roso uiay be gained from the fact that the American man nf-war was carried half a mile iijam rising ground, and was then let down without sus taining so much ns an injury to a spar. Al t'mugli the vessel was fully manned, not n hu man being on board received the slightest, in jury, although some wero pretty badly frigbt '"l at the. sudden change from the sea to dry land. In the tropical climates twilight is nt. the heat of hut short duration, but on t*iia afternoon it grew suddenly dark an hour earlier than usual, and before the people that were saved had time to collect their senses all was opaque. As the night grew on. ami tho sea had become com paratively lulled, near sounds could he distin guished, and the cries that came from the maimed, wounded, and living that literally covered the ground, were appalling and terri ble beyond expression. Wherever darkness found the people, there they remained all night, and sometimes, even above the groans .of tho dying, could he heard the agonizing prayers of the unharmed, who,in their despair, called up on God to deliver them from his wrath. llow slowly the hoars of the night dragged along only those that sat in the midst of that fearful desolation can tell. At last day dawned, and then a terrible scene met the eyes of the survivors. The city was gone, but the bay was completely filled with the tidin'* Of houses, vessels, and the remains of men. women, and children. It was estimated that at least five thousand bodies covered the water. So com nletelv was the harbor choked np with these fragments of dwelling* and dead bodies, that for several days all attempts of incoming ves -els to reach the quay were futile. The work of burying the dead derolved almost exclusively upon the Americans present. Mr. Brown la bored hard for tvrelv* days at this terrible task. The sailors and marines of the Wateree did n.dde work in the cause. Because of their miraculous escape from what, under ordinary circumstances, would have'been certain death, the man-of-war’* men werclookcd 'upon by the natives as saints, who worshiped them a* demi-gods. Although food was plenty from other stranded vessels, they would touch noth ing that did not come from tlm charmed vessel. Mr. Brown’s hi-tiry of the burial of the dead is a fearful one. The natives refused to touch a single body, and sat about their ruined houses in a stupid, thunder-struck sort of way, until driven away from the city by the suffocating stench of the decomposed bodies. When the work of interring had progressed for screra days, and the stench had become truly horrible, the burial party with which Mr. Brown had connected himself came upon a ruined mansion, and, while viewing the scene of desolation. they heard f,.int groan*. While searching for the eause, tliev came upon the prostrate form of a beautiful young girl, lmtb of whose feet had been crushed nod hemmed in by two enormous boulders. When she raw the men she held tip her hands in agony, and bfgged that an end be put to her existence. While the men were engaged in relieving her from her terrible position, she expired. This is but one of the hundred instances that could be told of tbe woe and terror of those days. Mr. Brown confirms tbe story of the skeletons, which manv people have seen fit to discredit. An old grave yard, located about a mile from Iquique. near the waters, in the presence of the tidal wave, gave up its dead nnd on the followingdav several hundreds of perfectly preserved petrified remains, with hands olasped over their knees, sat upon the surface of the ground. The grourd above them had been entirely washed away. A nnmher of ancient trinkets were found upon their bodies, and it is believed that the remains arc those of the native Peruvian Indians. These Peruvians refuse to learn wipdom through experience. No sooner were the bodies all buried than the work of erecting new abodes was begun on the very sites where their predecessors were destroyed, although there is plenty of building ground a few hundred feet up the mountain. Mr. Brown lost his entire cargo of floor in the crash of the tidal wave. When he had performed his duty to the dead, he started for his former home, and arrived here n few days since. Passing an Ai-turkd Hat. —‘‘tjOoV'ere,” said a tipsy individual, who was hanging by a lamp post, “!onk'--re 1 didn’t yon know that you’d no right to go by me in that way !” “Why not, my friend?” asked the person addressed, who recognised in the "tight’un” an old acquaintance. “Because (hie) it’s agin the law." “Against what law ?” “Why. you used to know Bill Nelson, when ho was a (hie) highly eiilerent fellow to what he is now—and there's a big law agin passing an altered Bill.'’ ■ Josh Billings says that “when a man's dog ; deserts him on account of his poverty, be can’t go any lower down in this world—not by land.” YOL. 3. NO. 50 [From'Packard's Monthly.] Nhirn'an Women. At a recent dinner in this city at which ne ladies were present, a man in responding to rho toast on “woman,’’ dwelt almost soloy on t'm frailty of the sox, claiming that the heat among them wore little better than the worst, the chief difference being in the surrounding*: At the conclusion of his speech a gentleman rose tii his feet, and said : “I trust the gentleman, in the application of his remarks, referred hffhi* ow/t mother and sisters, and not to oitnt." The effent of this most just and timely re buke was overwhelming! the malign®!* of wo men was covered with confusion and shame. This incident serve* to an excellent purpose in prefacing a tew word* which we have for a long time had it in our mind to say. Os all the evils prevalent among young men,- we know of none more blighting in its inoral effects than the tendency to speak slightingly of the virtue of women. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as the low esti mate theVT'tm of the integrity of women— i.ot of their own'mothers, an 1 siste s, thank God, but of others, whom they forget are sonitlmlii due's mothers and sisters. Asa rule, no person who surrenders to this debasing habit is safe to be,trusted with anv enterprise requiring integrity of character. Plain word* should bo spoken on this point > for the evil is a general one, and deep rooted. If young men are somethin's tlivjwn into »»:'• ety of thoughtless or even lewd women, they have no more right to measure all other " omen by what they see of these than they would have to ostimate tlm character of hon est ahd respectable citizens by the develop ments of crime in our police courts. Let young men remember that their chief happiness in life depends upon their utter fqith in women. No worldly wisdom, no misanthropic philosophy, no generalization can cover or weaken this fundemental truth. Tt stands dike the record of God himself for it is nothing Jess than this—and should put an everlasting seal upon lips that are wont to speak slightingly of women. Judging Horses by A p pen ran cos. I offer the following suggestions, the result of my close observation* and long experience r If the rolor be light, sorrel or chestnut, hi* feet, legs nnd face white—these are maj'ks of kindne**. If he is broad and full between the eyes, he may he depended on ns a horse for being trained 1 to anything: as respects such horses, the more kindly you treat, them the better you will be treated in return. Nor will a horse of this description stand a whip if well fed. If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is dish faced. He may l»e so far gen£ tic as ant to socre, but he will have too much go-ahead in him to be safe with everybody.— If you want a fool but a horse of groat liottom, get a deep liny with not a white hair about him. If his face is a little dished, so much the worse. Let no man ride such a horse that is not an expert rider; they are always trieky and unsafe. If you want one that will never give out, never buy a large overgrown one # A black horse cannot stand the heat, nor a white one the cold. If you want a gentle horse, got one with more or less white about the head, the more the hotter. Selections thns made are of great docility und gentleness.— Exchange. 1 I A painfully religions old woman being asked her opiuion of the organ in the church the first time she had ever seen or heard one, replied : “it’s a pretty box of whistles ; but oh ! it's an awful way to spend the Sabbath."

A poet wrote a stirring ode on a victim of persecution who wasburned at tbe stake about the time Columbus discovered America, in which occurred the line: “See the pale martyr in his sheet of fire." of which the poet was especially proud; but tbe printer accidently got it— “ See the'pail martyr with hisshirton fire." Os that the poet was not proud. It is related of a certain minister;)n Maine, who was noted for bis long sermons, with many divisions, that, one day, when he was advancing among the terns, nnd had thoroughly wearied his hearers, he reached at length a kind of resting place in his discourse, when pausing to take breath, and looking about over his audience, he asked the question : “And what shall 1 say more?" A voice from the congrc<- gation—more suggestive than reverent —ear* needy responded, “Say amen !"
