Tbe Chilians Invade Peru.
Sew York, November 23.—The fol
lowing letter hits just been received :
Panama, November 15.—The long ex
pected invasion of Peru by Chilian
forces is at last an accomplished fact.
On Sunday, Novembor 2, a Chilian fleet
of sirteen sail appeared off Pisagua,
opened upon and silenced the batteries
of the allies on the heights behind the
town, and covered the landing of a
large body of Chilian troops. An ob
stinate resistance was made to the laud
ing and many mon,were killed, but tbe
Bolivian forces who garrisoned the town
filially retreated to San Bernardo, leav
ing Pisagua in the hands of the Cbili
us. Subsequently tbe Bolivians con-
tinued their retreat to Pera Grande,
seventeen miles from Iquique, where
tbe allied forces expect to make a stand.
The Chilians are said to number
twelve thousand, well armed, thorough-
ly disciplined men, the flower of the
Chilian army. The allies number
about nine thousand, and if properly
handled in the rough country back of
Iquique, whither the Chilians are ad
vancing, should be able to beat the in
vaders o!V. They are under the com
mand of Gen. Buondia, an oilicer who
has seen service. The Chilians, who
ate commanded by Gon. Escala, bad at
last accounts penetrated the country to
Santa Catalina, a march of a day and
a half from the position of the allies.
The Peruvian columns of Gens. Prado
and Daaa thought to be advancing from
Anca and Taena, directly in the rear of
the Chilians. A battle must soon take
place.

The Public Lauds.
The annual report of the United
States general land office has been pre
pared and handed into the Secretary of
the Interior by the acting commission
er, Mr. J. M. Armstrong. It shows that
during the fiscal year, ended June 30
laBt, 9,333,352 acres of the public lands
were ai B poBed of, and 9,484,906 acres
were surveyed in addition to the 734,-
o91,2o6 acres previously surveyed. The
total number of acres of the public do
main still unsurveyed is about one
thousand and eighty-one million acres.
I he disposals were nearly as follows:
Homestead entries, 5,260,111 acre*; tim
ber culture entries, 2,766,574 acres: cash
entries, 622,574 acres, (including 165,-
996 acres entered under the desert
land law); grants to railroads 278,334
acres; swamp lands patented to States,
75,388 acres; other grants to States, 186,-
392 acres. The amount of land sur
veyed duriog the last fiscal year ex
ceeds by 414,759 acres the total area
surveyed in the preceding twelve
months; and while the report shows a
fulling off of some 773,000 acres in cash
sales, State selections, scrip locations
and lands patented to railroad grauts,
the increase in the area taken up by
settlers under the homestead and tim
ber culture laws has been sufficient not
only to counterbalance this falling off,
but io make the aggregate disposals for
the year greater by 647,204 acres than
the total for the pievious year. The
increase in homestead entries was 841,-
766 acres, and in timber culture entries
896,139acres. Owing to the existing
laws for the disposal of the public lands
tor homesteads and timber culture,
it is shown that during the last fiscal
year, with a larger disposal of land,
there were received from all sources
81,883,113.56, less by 8139,418 60 than
the amount received during the fiscal
year ended June 30,1878.
Almost a Panic.
New York, Nov. 21.—Tbe greatest
excitement prevailed in the stock ex
change this morning, and at one time a
serious panic seemed almost inevitable.
The sebne on the floor of the exchange
was most tumultuous, and tbe wish to
sell stocks was so great that prices
dropped three and four per cent at a
time until before the first half hour of
business was over Delaware and Hud
son had declined twenty per cent, and
the rest of the list all the way from one
to fourteen per cent. The men who
are credited with this bear movement
are Jay Gould, Jamee R. Keen, Russell
Sage and Addison Commack. Many
failures were expected from the great
fail in prices, but oniy oue has been re
ported—Edward Livermore, of 35
Broad street, who suspended this even-
Towards the close of the day a great
change came over speculation on the
stock exchange. Streogth and buoy
ancy took the place of depression and
sharp and material advances in prices
took place. Those who had been sell-
iug in the morning had now become
buyers, mid under their purchases the
entire list advanced fourteen per cent.
The impression has guined ground that
a new upward movement had com
menced, and final dealings were very
.strong in tone.
Repugnance to a military life has
induced, among the inhabitants of cer
tain villages in the department of the
Seiue, a curious practice of atrophying
one of the great toes by some secret
method of muscular retraction which
has baffled the scrutiny of the most ex
perienced army surgeons. The de
formation prevents the proper surface
of the foot from being brought fairly
and fully on the ground. With such
success has this system of mutilation
been carried on for the past forty years
in one particular village, and so dis
creetly have the peasants kept their
own counsel, that, in the whole of the
long period, only three conscripts have
been drawn who were found able to
march. It must have appeared to the
baffled investigators of this physiologic
al phenomenons if a new species of
countryman were being developed; but
at length a peculiarly suspicious ca60
attracted their special notice and led to
an inquiry beforo the local tribunal. A
young man, who had been noted as a
good walker, and was in great request
among the maidens of the district as a
partner in the dance on Sundays and
fete days, took to absenting himself
from those junketings until he came
forth from bis retirement an accom
plished cripple. It remains to be seen
what cap be done with him and with
other evaders of patriotic duty. Per
haps a law may be passed which will
compel all owners of ■ crooked toes to
contribute a fixed proportion of their
sedentary earnings to the State. Lon

The administration had money to

Courier Journal: Ex-Judge Ditten-
hoefer, of New York, attorney for some
lottery men whose letters have been
seized under the recent order of the Post-
office Department, has addressed a let
ter to Postmaster James, of New York
in which he says:
‘ In issuing the order the Postmaster
General has constituted himself at once
complainant, judgo, jury and execu
tioner. In the case of Mr. Borger it op
erates to deprive him of the possession
of letters manifestly not within the
purview of the law, to his great injury,
and to the possible ruin of his credit
abroad.
“Though an action has been commenc
ed against you for damages for this un
just and unlawful seizure, I thought it
proper to address this commujication to
you to induce the Department to order,
peDdiDg the litigation, thedelivery of these
European letters, and to consent to bring
to a speedy hearing and decision the im
portant constitu ional question involved
in this action. If the Government will
not consent to an arrangement by which
the trial of the action brought against
you can be expedited, you will surely
become involved in a sea of litigation in
consequence of the bringing of nume
rous other suits because of like seizures
and detentions.
“No fault is found with the gentlemen
who are engaged in the laudable work
of suppressing the dissemination of im
moral matter; but no end, however
proper, can be held to justify the use
of improper means; and a rule or law
that strikes down all the safeguards of
private correspondence and the first
principles of republican government
must be deemed improper. In their
unrestrained and excessive zeal these
men resemble the ‘pious fools’ of whom
it is said, with truth, that they, unin
tentionally, do more harm than good to
the cause of true religion. To day t> e
ban is pronounced against a certain
class of correspondence; to-morrow it
may be that religious, philosophical or
trade letters, unsatisfactory to these
zealots, will be sequestered. Admitting
the principle, no constitutional limit
can be set for its exercise.”
And tbe Supreme Court of the United
States emphasize these views in their
decision that a law, which says a Fed
eral official can open sealed private corre
spondence, is unconstitutional. The
Postoffice Department must proceed in
a legal manner against alleged offenders
agsinst public morality.
Teach Boys-
Teach your boys that a true lady
may be found in calico quite as fre
quently as in velvet.
Teach them that a common school
education with commense sense is far
better than a college education without
it.
Teach them that one good, honest
trade, well mastered, is worth a dozen
beggarly “professions.”
Teach them that honesty is the best
policy; that it is better to be poor than
be rich on the profits of crooked whis
ky, etc., and point your precept by the
example of those who are suffering the
torments of the damned.
Teach them to respect their elders
and themselves.
Teach them that, us they expect to be
men sometime, they cannot too soon
learn to protect the weak and helpless.
Teach them that to wear patched
clothes is no disgrace but to wear a black
eye is.
Teach them that God is no respecter
of sex, and that when He gave the
seventh commandment, He meant it
for them ob well as fer their sisters.
Teach them that by indulging their
depraved appetites in the worst forms
of dissipation, tney ate not fitting them
selves to become the husbands of pure
girls.
Teach them that it is better to be an
honest man seven days in tho week
than to tie a religious (?) man ono day
and a villian six days.
The Cincinnati Commercial says that
a business firm in that city recently had
a sight draft on a Columbus, O., party
come back to them protested, the notary
who handled the case winding up his
remarks as follows: “I fout-d said of
fice locked up. I thereupon stood in
front ot the door of said office, and de
manded the payment of said draft in
an audible tone of voice, and received
no reply.”
