’ BY COUSIN CHARLEY;
LIMA PERU.
I had been staying at the above
place some weeks, and wondering it
I was ever going to obtain employ
ment when looking over one of the
daily papers I noticed the followin
advertisement. “Wanted an intel
ligent, young man to proceed to an
up country station to work in the
oflfieb, an American or Englishman
preferred.” “Bono” said I to my
self, that intelligent young man’s
place shall be tilled by me; so off' I
went to my room to give an extra
twist to my moustache and fix up,
and then to call upon the advertiser.
I soon found iny way to the gen
tleman’s house and atter half an
hour’s conversation^ made all ar
rangements to start within forty-
eight hours for my destination, Lit-
tledidl think when starting that
before many .weeks had elapsed I
was to run a narrow chance of be
ing hanged by the neck till I was
“dead! dead!! dead!.!”as the judg
es say when passing sentence' upon
some murderer or other.
But to proceed with my yarn: To
wards the close of the fourth day
after leaving Lima, I found myself
nearly tired out, hot and dusty at
the gates of a very large but rather
delapidatcd looking mansion, which
upon enquiring, I found was the
Head-Quarters ■of the Overseer.
Upon pulling tit a lArge bell rope
which hHng close to th* gate, about
a score of hall naked little Chinamen
accompanied with about as many
yelping curs ran eat to see who was
the intruder.
I Called onihe teHygraff, too, een

man war gtil a chawin his goat tea,
and-his mershecr^wer stH a klickin

cm whi^in. But hit Mat that way.
I seed thay wer abildin a fine
Ejpskerpul chuch. That’ll bring up
that eend o’ tbun smartly: but feelin
tired I didat go no further that way.
Atter dioner I tuk up strete, au past

wer that tawl crazy feller what wares

H—. He jest thinks he km sel more

that his guds is cheaper eu durt.—
Upon asking for the overseer I
was ushered into a large room, the
furniture of which consisted of one
old chair aud A desk at which was
seated a very kind looking old gen
tleman who'upon examining my cre
dentials heartily welcomed me.
An hour's chat placed us on a
friendly footing, and after informing
e of my duties which as far as 1
Id make out were not very oner-
ous, he kindly had me 6hown to a
Apom to-dress Ac., telling me that
he would take me round the^ station
on the morrow.
The next morning I felt quite re
covered from my fatigues and after
4 splendid breaktast we set out on
horseback to go the rounds; I was
perfectly astonished at the size of
the place. Thirteen hundred China
men were employed besides some!
thirty-five American and. English
men; sugar cane was being ground
up by steam and alter undergoing
certain processes being converted
into rum.
Well the day passed away most
pleasantly, I had been introduced
all around and made acquaintance
with some nice fellows, and in fact
I was truly enjoying myself: five or
six hours a day was all the time it
took me to get through my writing;
a good horse was at my disposal
and I really began to think that a
stroke of good luck had fallen Upon
me worth having, when all my hopes
were dashed to the ground by a cir
cumstance which closed the earthly
career of five as nice fellows as I
had ever met with.
One night after dinner Mr. O’Bri
en and myself were talking, and en
joying - some splendid ram punch,
whcD the head engineer walked in
unceremoniously, looking as pale as
a sheet. Mr. O’Brien requested
him to be seated and laughingly
asked him what was the matter; to
our horror his reply- “the men
have mutined.” Too well we knew
what the result would tte if the mu
tiny could not be quelled*—death
to us all I
Air; Q’l&ien and myself hastened
to procure our revolvers, and all
then taking a good gulp of punch,
(to get a little dutch courage), off
we started.
As rapidly as we could we made
for the white hands quarters, where
we found every one talking at onfce,
all suggesting something at the same
time, and nobody doing a thing.
Mr; O’Brien soon calie4 thetrt to
order, and explained what all—only
too well knew, our’dfeadful situation;
told them what was required at th.e
moment was pluck and not a little
of it. We repaired at once to the
Hospital, that being the strongest
ilding and also within shot of the
built
distillery to which plaee we felt as-
shred that sonic of the devils would
rush to get drunk. Soon only, too
soon, tfe heard a buzz which told us
that they were coming like a swarm
of bees; I don’t know how the others
felt but I gave a glance around and
I read upon every man’s face a firm
determination to sell his life as dear
ly as possible.

Klute Artillery.
Out in a certain Western fort,
some time ago, the major conceived
the idea that artillery might be
used effectively in fighting with the
Indians by dispensing with gun car
riages, and fastening the cannon
upon the backs of mules. So he ex
plained his views to the comman
dant, and it was determined to try
the experiment. A howitzer w T as se
lected, 'and strapped upon an ambu
lance mule, with the muzzle point
ing toward the tail. When they had
secured the gun, and lo-idcd it with
ball cartridge, they led that calm
and steadfast mule out on the bluff,
and set up a target in the middle of
of the river to practice at. The rear
of the mule was turned towards the
target, and he was backed gently
up to the edge ofthe bluff. The oflr
cers stood around in a semicircle,
while the major went up and inser
ted a time-fuse in the touch-hole of
the howitzer. When the fuse was
ready the major lit it and retired.
In a minute or two the hitherto un-
rnffied mule heard the fizzing back
there on his neck, and it made him
uneasy. He reached his head around
to ascertain what wag going on, ana,
as he did so, his body turned, and
the howitzer began to sweep around
the horizon. The mule at last be
came excited, and his cariosity grew
more intense, with his four legs in a
bunch, making six revolutions a min
ute, and the howitzer, understand,
threatening sudden death to every
man within a half a mile. The com
mandant was observed to climb sud
denly up a tree; the lieutenants were
seen sliding over the bluff into the
river, as if they didn’t care at all
about the high price of uniforms;
the adjutant made good time toward
the fort, the seargant began to
throw up breastworks with his bay
onet, and the major rolled over The
ground and groaned. In two or
three minutes there was a puff of,
smoke, a dull thud, and the mule—
oh! where was he ? A solitary jack
ass might have been seen turning
successive back-somersaults over the
bluff, only to rest at anchor, finally,
with his howitzer at the bottom of
the river, while the ball went off to
ward the fort, hit the chimney in the
major’s quarters, rattled the adobe
bricks down into the parlor, fright
ened the major’s wife into convul
sions. They do not allude to it now,
Miss Amelia M. Ptifvis, of Mount
yernon, was awakened on 12 o’clock
on Saturday night by a noise at her
bedroom window. Looking in that
direction she observed one man-
crawling in her room, closely follow
ed by another. Instead of giving the
traditional scream, Miss Purvis re
mained perfectly qiilei- and awaited
developments. The first man crawl
ed noiselessly under the bed. The
second man tiptoed to her room door
and began to examine it. Miss Pur
vis slipped out of bed, seized a bay
rum bottle and. smashed it over the
intruder’s head. He dropped. She
gathered him up by the hair, and
dragged him to the window. Hot a
word was spoken. The fellow under
this mode of treatment recovered his
senses and leaped out.
The scoundrel under the bed did
not stir. He no doubt believed that
his presence there was not known.
Having disposed of the first fellow.
Miss Purvis took a small tin trum
pet from her bureau drawer, and
stooping down, at the same time
turning the gas slightly on, she pre
sented the small end of the trumpet
at the crouching form of the thor
oughly terrified man under the bed,
and said :
See here, young man, you have
been there long enough. Just scram
ble out instantly, or I will blow you
into the middle of next week. ”
He did not wait for a second invi
tation. Miss Purvis kept him cov
ered with the trumpet, and fearing
that his time had come, he made a
lively shake for the window and
went out like £r Arrow. In hi3 hur
ry he lost a pair of false side whisk
ers before he reached the window.
Having met with this misfortune his
disguise failed further to deceive the
young lady. In the intruder she re
cognized Abraham T. Wilson, a dis
carded lover.
Miss Purvis said nothing of her
adventure more thafi to satisfy in
quiries next, morning about the rum
pus in her room, explaining . that
she had broken a bay-rum bottle.
But the first thing she did yesterday
morning was to purchase a cowhide.
Yesterday afternoon she met the ob
ject of her search in Central Mount
Vernon, and without a word of ex
planation, began to lay the instru
ment upon Abraham’s back. Abra
ham started to tud, but Miss Purvis
seized him with her left hand and
held him fast. He screamed and
swore, and begged and demanded
an explanation, but down came the
instrument of torture.
“Down on your knees, sir,” Aaid
Miss Purvis, “and ask my pardon
for your gross conduct last night.”
No sooner said than done.. Down
went the terrified scapegrace en hi 8
knees in the mad and water, and
prhyed her to be mercifuk He
acknowledge the intrusion, and
promised never to trouble her again
by his tongue or his presence.
A few weeks ago Wilson’s name
was stricken off Miss Parvis’ list of
visitors. It is said that he circula
ted stories damaging to her charac
ter, and apon doubt being expressed
as to the truthfulness of his asser
tions, he made a bet that he could

The Mongrel Edition ot Web-
^ ster’s Dictionary.
The last, and, the Mongrel edition
Of Webster’s Dictionary is receiving
the contempt and rejection which it
richly deserVeS. ‘ WC are glad to
see that Worcester’s Dictionary,
which in scholarly profundity and
correctness, is in every way the su
perior of Webster’s, is being adopt
ed bjr .boards of education all over
the country. A late number of the
Atlanta Sun has the following on
this Btlbject: . , ..
“We are glad to chronicle the
fact that the Board of Education has
adopted Worcester's Dictionary for
Public Schools. For a long time
Webster’s Dictionary was consider
ed the standard, and, notwithstand
ing it had some serious defects, that
recognized supremacy, might. have
been fetained for the work for many
years, but for the fact that its pub
lishers, in their late edition, have
Converted it into a political text-book
for the Radical School of. Politicians,
The Compilers of the last edition of
Webster have introduced into the
body of the work, such slaUg words
as ‘locofoco’and‘copperhead.’ The
first is defined ‘a member of the
Democratic,’and the last ‘a North
ern sympathizer,with-'the Southern
rebellion;’ while the word ‘scalawag’
has no political significance given to
it, and ‘carpet-bagger’ is not found
ra the work.”
In this last Mongrel edition, the
definition of “Congress,” and ’all
such words as “State,*’ “Constitu
tion" and “Compact,”, have been
changed from all former editiqns in
such a manner as to make the work
a mere partisan text-book. It has
lost all claim to being considered as
a Dictionary ofthe English language.
It has become a Dictionary of the
slang language of the nigger party.
In the former edition of the work,
Congress was defined as follows:
“The Assembly of Senators and
Representatives of the United States,
according to the present Constitu
tion or political compact, by which
they arc united in u, Federal Repub
lic."
But in this last Mongrel edition it
has been changed to read as follows:
“The Assembly of Senators and
Representatives of the people of a
nation—especially of a Republic,
tor the purpose of enacting laws and
considering matters of National tfi-
terest, and constituting the chief
legislative body of the nation.”.
In this’ Mongrel edition the words
“United .States” have been changed
to*“NatioH,” and to another line
“Federal Republic” is stricken out,
and the “Nation” substituted in its
place.
We have before called attention
to this base partisan trick of trying
to Convert a dictionary into a ‘vile
partisan text-bpok. But fraud has
rebounded upon the heels of publish
ers Who have been guilty it, for
Worcester’s Dictionary is every
where crowding Webster’s out of
use. Even the strongest Radical,”
if he has any respect for the lan
guage of his country, or for the
proper education of his children,
must despise this effort to pervert
the meaning of words in the interest
of a political party. No fair minded
scholarly man, Certainly, would per
mit his son or daughter to goto a
school where the last edition of Web-.
ster’s Dictionary is in use. And,
besides these vile partisan defects,
Webster’s Dictionary is far behind
Worcester’s as an authority in pro
nuneiatioa and orthography. In
deed in all respects, Worcester’s is
immeasurably the best work. At
any rate, the Democrat who allows
the nigger edition ol Webster’s a
place in his house deserves a. flog
ging.

required to be returned for verifica
tion, and only a stock-jobbing, inten
tion t6 profit by the manoeuvre of

sahlts made on the credit of the

The Alabama Claims.
London, February 16.—The case
submitted to the Geneva Board of Ar
bitration by the counsel of Great Bril-
ian in regard to the Alabama claims
.has been laid before Parliament and is
published. Tbe document is divided
into ten parts.
Pail I. Remarks that no definite
cor omplete siatement statement of the
American claims has ever bi eii fur
nished. The, Treaty of Washington
und previous correspondency will sup
ply, however, i. general definition of
the demands made by the United
States. . ;. ; -
Rule 2 of article 6 of the Treaty of
Washington ia quoted as follows ,l A
neutral government is bound not to
permit or suffor either belligerent to
make use of its ports or waters as a
base of naval operations against the'
other, or for tbe purpose of renewal or
augmentation of military supplies dr
arms or the recruitment of mea. - ”
This rule is interpreted as prohibit
ing the supply of viflir- waging vessels
from neutral ports, but as not pro
hibitory of the sale of arms or muni
tions of wnr in the ordinary conrso'
commerce.
The claims submitted arc for damn
gea growing out of the acts of vessels
respecting which the United States al
lege that Great Britian failed in her
international duty. If it decides there
has been such failure then it must
award a gross bww for damage* or de
fine the limit of liabili'y for the gnid
ance of the assessors of said damages
Tbe circumstances of the sailing
thefiteamer Alabama, Florida, Geor
gia and Shenandoah were materially
dissimilar; bat Great Britain main
tains that in respect to none of them
ha* she failed of her international ob
ligations, or rendered herself justly
liable.
Part II. gives a history of the civil
ir in the United States showing
hat^he course of England and the
maritime Powers was one of vigilant
and scrupulous neutrality.
Part III. makes a statement isf inter
national rights and duties, of the laws
f England bearing thereon, and of
tbe faithful performance and execu
tion thereof by Great Britain daring
tbe war.
Also gives a detailed account of the
action of Minister Adams and Earl
Russell to prevent tha departure of
the rebel cruisers.
PanlY. shows the limits of the.
power possessed by the British Govern
ment to prevent such departures.
Part V., VL, VIL.and VIII„ respec
tiveV, present in detail the facts rela
tive to the steamer* Florida, Alabama,
G-Oi'gia and Shenandoah.
Pari. I3£ sets forth tlbat the Meam
era Georgia and Shenandoah were
never equipped for war in the 'British
dominions. Her' li qeaty's Govern
ment was only informed respecting
these vessels after their dtparttpe.
The Alabama and Florida even did
not receive iheir armaments in British
dominions.
The peculiar circumstances of tbe
Alabama’s escape are recited, and En
gland's vigilant endeavor* to prevent
her sailing, aa well as America’s fail
ure in the attempt to capture her, are
insisted upon.
Part X. complains of disadvantages
under which Great Britain labor* ia
meeting an nnpreeented caae.
The document concludes as follow*:
‘‘While England regret* tbe depart
ure of rebel -cruisers from her port*,
•be cannot acknowledge the justice of
the claims against her for pecuniary
damage* for their £acts. ihe United
State* mast solidly establish the fact
of England's negligence. England is
ready to accept tlie award of the Tri
bunal of Arbitration; whether favora
ble or unfavorable. She detires only
that it shall be just.”
