THE emigration from Germany to
America during the first five months
of the present year amounted to 55,
567, or nearly 10,000 more than the*
largest total during anyfivemonth?
of the last five years.
A LEIPSIC scientist has demonstra
ted by facts and figures what most
people have always believed, that
colds are oftener caught by those who
wrap themselves up and avoid the
severity of the weather than by those
who dare to brave the elements.
THE people of the duchy of Gotha
are happy over the flourishing state
ol their public finance. So plethoric
has the treasury become that a bill
has been introduced in the house of
representatives suspending all taxa
ation for three months.
THERE is much discussion about
woman's dress and dress reforms, but
the fact remains, and always will,
that women always seem to be dress
ed most becomingly at the time when
I we are discussing their clothes, whether
I it be now or a century ago.
THE story of the Persian Shah boil,
ing a deliquent tax collector to death
is reiterated. In the name of civiliza
tion, however, it's to be hoped that
,fhe didn't add the crown of cruelty to
,the man's sufferings by asking him if
it was hot enough for him.
THE Austrian government is consid
ering the advisability of issuing a de
cree against the wearing of long trains
by women on the street, ontheground
that it is unhealthful and unclean.
They'll have lots of fun enforcing it.
There .'ire a few things the tyrant man
would do well not to attempt.
LdRD WOLSELEY'S opinion that our
great civil war has been without value
to strategical science does not seam to
be shared by the German authorities.
They would not be so eager to ex
change literature with the American
war department were they not satis
fied of tne great value of American ex
periences.
IT is pleasant to be able to tell peo
ple who are passionately addicted to
the taste and aroma of Sweitzerkase
that it is frequently fatal. About a
dozen people in Hobo ken tried it re
cently, and, although they washed it
down with copious draughts of beer,
it laid them all low.
THE Imparcial, of Madrid, says it
learns that President Balmaceda, of
jphili, and the leaders of the Chilian in
surgents have appealed to the Spanish
government to act as arbitrator and
end the war. It would be interesting
to learn what superior qualifications
as an arbitrator the Spanish govern
ment can show that to it should be in
trusted the difficult and delicate task.
THE St. Petersburg journals advo
cate the marriage of Prince Ferdinand
of Roumania to the woman of his
choice. She, by the bye, is variously
named, from day to day, as Mile.
Vecaresco, Vaceresco, andVacaresen
so that one solid reason for her
marrying Ferdinand would be that
she would get the fixed name—such as
it is—of Mrs. Hohenzollern.
A MONKEY in New York got a bottle
of whisky the other day, and, after
swallowing the contents, proceeded to
rip things up generally, and even went
so far as to decline to hand over the
pennies that were given to him for his
boss organ grinder, preferring to
squander them all on himself. There
seems to be a good deal of human na
ture the monkey tribe.
THE latest relentless rehabilitator
of history is M. Arens, who ruth lessly
smashes the romance of "Paul and
Virginia." He says that Virginia de
la Tour was not shipwrecked and
drowned, but was saved by Paul
whom she married. The romance
further is spoiled by the discovery
that the two set up a small shop for
the sale of cookies, candies, rum and
other sea stores for sailors.
THE day of the horse car in New
York and Brooklyn is drawing to a
close. The^ Broadway and Third
Ayenue lines in New York are prepar
ing to adopt the cable system, and
the Fourth Avenue line will soon be
operated by electricity. In Brooklyn
electricity has taken the place of
horseson two lines, and a third will
use the same power. The other lines
are preparing for the inevitable change
in motive power.

A BLOODY BATTLE.
Chilian Insurgents and Government
Troops Engage in a Terrible and
Decisive Battle.
Thousands of Soldiers Killed in the
Fight, and Still the Hat tie
Goes on.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24 —The Herald this
morning hasValparaiso cables substantially
as follows- President Balmaceda and the
junta de Cobierno are clinched the final
desperate struggle for the mastery of the
republic of Chile.
The chosen battle ground is in full view
of the city ot Valparaiso, and thousands of
anxious eyes are watching from every point
of vantage the battle which is to decide the
fate of the country.
Tlie battle has been raging practically for
three days. The fiist engagement was at
the mouth ot the Aconcauua on Friday
and resulted in a reverse to the govern
ment. The final tests of strength is now
being made at Vina del Mar Beach, directly
across Valparaiso bay, and less than three
miles away.
When news reached here that an army of
3,000 rebels had been landed at Quintero
bay Thursday, Balmaceda and his generals
were taken by surprise, but the utmost
activity was used in getting troops to the
liont so as if possible to prevent the in
vading army from crossing the Aconcugua,
the liver south of the bay. The arrange
ments were made hurriedly and only a lit
tle over halt of the troops weie available
or this purpose.
Sixoi the insurgent warships were an
chored in Cosnon bay, at the mouth of tne
river, and under the cover of their guns the
army of the Junta undertook the task of
forc.ng,a passage of the river Friday morn
ing. A most desperate and bloody battle
resulted, lasting nearly all clay.
A &4LLIXG FIRE
irom the insuigent aitillery, which was
parked on the northern bank ot the river,
aided by the heavy batteries and machine
guns from the ships was too much Jnr the
government tioops and they were
.orced to retire, which they
did in good order. Both sides
Joiuht with the utmost \alor and wnilekss
than 20 000 troops ere engaged the l'st ot
casualties are nearly 3 000 men killed and
and wounded The general in command of
the government forces selected a strung po
t-Won on the beach of Vina del Mara, 'he
ca*tern shore of Valpaiaiso Day, as Ins
second line of de ense, and leaving force
enoujrh in front or the enemy to check his
progress somewhat, took Ins place" there
THE Dl CIsH I IGHT.
It was not urnil late in the evening that
the attacking army arnved in iront of Bal
maceda'b line oi clerensc. It was then too
late to give battle.
In the nieantiinf, President Balmaceda,
withe\eiy available man in his depait
meiit, witn himself in command, went to
the iront. He had over 13,000 a\ailable
fighting men, while the insurgent forces
rorces had been reduced to less than
7,000. At the back of the gov
ernment line is Fort Callao,
the heavy guns of which have done good
work in to-day's battle, both in raking the
enemy by land and preventing the msur
nt fleet, inch had entered the bay last
night, irom doing anything more effective
than long-range firing.
The Congressionahsts attaeked in force
this morning, and all day long the battle
has uged with ttie utmost fierceness. The
warships did all they cculd to aid their
land ioices, but they had regard lor the
heavy guns in the lorts, and were com
pelled to do their
FI&HTI^i AT IOXG K4XGE.
Consequently they were not nearly so e'
'ective aiding the land attack as they
had been at the passage of the Aconcagua
on Fndoy. Tuey sent as many men as
tiny could spare, howeie., with all their
a\adable machine and rapid hre guns, to
aid, as a na\al auxiliary bngade, the at
tack o.i Balmaceua's position. The most
intense excitement prevails in this city.
The roar of heavy artillery and the
sharp rattle ot bnia'l arms resound
through the streets and are echoed
back from the hgh hills surrounding
tne city. Everybody who isle here has
son.ht some place overlooking the battle
ground and tnousands ot people are watch
ing the desperate struggle which is being
tonght under their very eyes.
1 he scene irom Valparaiso is one of aw
ful urandeur. A heavy pall or smoke hangs
like a cloud o\er the contending armies. It
is lit up most continuously by sharp flashes
of light irom the cannon and rifles, and
tlie thunderous roar ot the artillery can be
heard continuously.
Ihe most powerful glass cannot penetrate
the cloud or smoke, and only occasionally
can the movement ot the troops be even
•.ue-sed at, though roni the Gruesah point
in the glimpses ot charging regiments can
occasionally oe seen through nits in the
smoke cloud.
There is a constant stream of wounded
bein- brought into the city irom tlie front,
and temporary hospitals are being fitted up
where\er possible. Nearly all the men
who had not le.t trie city have volunteered
their sei vices as nurses, and they and the
till medical orce oi the city have their
hands lull.
From the wounded and their attendants
only the most fragmentary information as
to ttie progress oi the tight con be obtained,
and it is utterly impossible at tlvs writing
to iorni any judgment as to which side is
getting tye better of it.
Admiral Brown, ot the American fleet,
and the commanding officers ot other for
eign vessels have combined to protect the
lives and property ot the .oreign citizens.
Millionaires Fight.
KAXSAS CITY, Aug. 24.—The rotunda of

the state entcrpuse, and it has thus been
profitable to tne fanners. Another ear,
however, the state will be able to "sup

some of the expressions used about the
