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 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 don Telegraph. s The administration had money to buy the silence of a returning board, and it had officers for an army of big and little thieves. But when the moth er of tbe administration, Eltxa rinK- ston, kills her new husband the admin istration will not even step forward with funds for the funeral expenses ol its lamented step-father. This w not cred itable to human nature.—Washington Post. _ Some culprits whenthoy are arraign ed waive an examination. Radical cul prits, arraigned for malfeasance in of fice, prefer to wave tbe bloody shirt. 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.” The celebrated chestnut tree at 'I rot- worth, which wa9 said, half a century ago, to be the oldest tree in England, still stands, the pride of it* noble owner, (Earl Ducie) and the boast of the dis trict.
