A Broil with Bolivia. If tho following story, which conies to us from South America, he cyrmi, wti liave got oufBeUoi inta what- U prettj fctiro to proyo a mo6t voxatious quarrel witll thertioetorous and in accesfible I'epublic of Uolivia. The authorities at La l'nz( wo nro tolJ, conceived that sotrtehtxlj 'was conspir ing, or was about to cunnpiro ogaintt tho government," nnd -gavo orders to arrest all persons who wero not pnrti zati of AudgurVjb, thk'- pliio'iit' rtler of Bolivia. Several young men from their known disapproval of tho con duct of ? thtp ' gfovl rnmeuV faring ' the coiisprfuoncVfi, Bouphrprotrction of the American legation, which was ac corded them. .The authorities. upon henriug that persons had tukotrrefuge at tho 1'gution, determined to take them out, and for this purpose sent a force,; tlieir attempt to, enter tho.Lcga tioh'was resisted liy tho Ministor, wlno met them at the door revolver in hand, and threatened to shoot tho first man that' attempted- to-cross tho threshold; Tho Bolivians' wero talten aback; rbt causo they did not count upon the ro volver business, and they remained outsido tho door. A piohsenger , wa Bent to th l'refect, iuforming Iiim of what hnd happened, who imim.'diulely fent troop's nnd surrounded tho IiCga tion, so ns to prevent all ingress or egress, upou which- tho Minister do norvodod hipfsspxrt, and hau!il dov n Iwsilogi;; (?J ! Vi 1'U "A Now, it is hiphlj probaldo that our Miimtf-r at Ijii 1jiz, being ono of Mr. Seward's diplomats, is at least par tially responsible fr this in?ult which has been offered us; fur, preposterous as tho Bolivians urn, they would hard ly have ventured upon ufking such a liberty with an American Minister who respected himself and could mako his Government respected. But tho nd&of the nation. bating Weu pulled, the qiialitieationsof tho Minister sink ot4 of sight. Wo must compel tho Bolivians to apologize to us for tho in sult; and how to do (hat will consid erably puzzle us, for.thp Boliviaus nrp asj, iniu.cesibl9 as.theyrar prepcsteiv ous. In quarreling with them we got ouTfelves' into' a position 'not unlike that of Great Britain in her squabble with tho Emperor of Abyssina. That enlightened iotcntnt, it will be re membered, thought Ht to kill sundry missionaries, and to clap tho British Consul into a filthy jail beneath the shadow of tho mountains of the moon. This happened nearly two years ago, nnd to tins day all tho power of Eng land has nvailcd nothing to wipo out the insult ollVred her slag, or to ro dress tho injury done to her represen tative, yecuro in his inland empire, tho Abyssinian "monarch lolls upon his mats, nnd listens to his maidens playing upon the dulcimer, careless of mankind, and scornful of Sir William Armstrong's biggest guns. If Bolivia chooses to bo just such a beast in re spect of us, wo shall havo' a world of trouble in teaching her manners. She has only onb seaport, about one-third tho size of. Hull,-iu Massachusetts, and tho harbor of that is for tho most' part open only, to catamarans, nnd at high tide. Unless we can bribo or bul ly I'eiu or Braf l intdiYuaking n.tvay for us to march nn expedition into the impertiuent republie, wo shall havo to nurse our w rath to keep, it warm, and bo. thankful that our Minister' has csenpod with his ears. .This is an ex trenioly unpleasant , etato of aLTurs; but as not even Uiiclo Sam's web-foet which according td tho lamented Lin coln J can' go ''wherever "it is. a little damp," can .very well travel aver the dry aud parched Bolivian winds, wo really do uot .eoovwlmt - we Ttro to do about Jt., States 'like Abyssinia and Bolivia jVisscss tho sftmb natural ad vantogo which tho fapious showman attributed to a certain animal, who whenever ho finds' himself hotly pur sued, takes re f 11 go in his own interior, fr6nwbich Rftfo retreat he laugh' n th'1rhpoent malicb of his Tors.' Un less we can contrive to imitate tho Baron do Crook, w Witting threaten fcd by a Hon, thrust his hand down the throat of the" boast and- -twriH.l him inside out like a glovo. whereby the lion instantly died of thahie and pain," we fear we must submit, with what patienco we may, to soo Bolivia for an indefinite time, gyrate htr rin gers upon her noso at us from the highest peak of tho Andes.

' ' In a CoClu--A Ludicrous Scouo. y A few mornings since, as somo of tho seven1 h ward. police wcto retiring from their lufs, they were surf.Hs- d lit'finding nar tho station a corTin,' in which, was the bod' of ii niftn prepar ed for" burial;, but from tho snoring of the occupant they "were satisfied that h wos not lead v K.r iiitrtnent.

Tho ollieers did. not take long to trrnke up their mind wliat to do with tho occupant; and tUoy forthwith aroused him, is hen the. "corpse," after ono or t"'o turnings,' arose and sa( upright and after staring around, he asked, very coolly, Where In the d-l ami". Ouo of tho ollieers having laughed until it -ft ns impossible to laugh fnoro, volunteered 'to explain and finally the corpse was heljxxl out, when he took a 'stand at tho foot of the coffin, and' very solemnly remark ed: ''This is what we all have to come to, but I never thought I would efer Come to it wdiile I lived.

A I ter, these rotnarks' which were made in a man ner that show ed Tio was earnest, tho officers allowed him to depart. Tho joke was explained the next morning. It appears that some citi zens attempted to carry him, to the station, and seeing the coffin in a yard near by, (wl.ere it had been left by an officer of,' the FrcoduienV Bureau some days before,) formed ? this plan, thinking that when ho awoke ho wo'd make a resolution to 6top drinkjng, and it is said that thus far tho victim of this practical joke, gives all bar room 1 a wUo.hcrur. . - ,r j f '. : Yaxkke Stratackm. ;I)uring the Bevolutionary war,' two 'brut hers from ono of tho eastern., ports wero com manders of privateers; th y cruised together," and weteTnmiently siktcsh ful, doing grfnt.datnagQ 1 tO.theJpnoWy and making money for themselves.

It is estimated that at least fifty thousand' persons were in the prooessiou which formed the imposing feature of the reform demonstration which took place to-day , Nearly all the trades societies were in ful) forco and marched to the place of meeting. lorty-seTen ' of these or ganizsd bodies' togtthor with various branches of tho reform league, were in the lino, which, was composed of four grand divisions under the gum mice of Marshals and lod. by bands of music, banners and society insigmas. It was by far the largest and most important affair of, tho. kind which has ever' taken place in 'this country. Notwithstanding the very unpleasant state of. tho weather, it is a fact , wor thy .of notice that tho stars and stripes waved nbovo the procession in many places, and was frequently and loudly cheered." The band,' toy seetned. to havo caught the inspiration of thooc cassion, nud indulged in the produc tion of national airs' of a patriotic character.

Ou the grounds of Beaufort llouso the greatest order wus- main tained throughout the 'denionration, and tho greatest) enthusiasm prevailed. The moral effect of the whole affair cannot bo over-estimated. ' FINANCIAL STUPIDITY, ; Tho .

Instead of paying the bonded debt, nud thus stopping the - accumulation of interest, it cancels greenbacks which are drawing no interest. The estate of an- individual who managed his bustaiiws upon ueh prin ciples would bo taken from him and placed iu charge of a guardian and he sent a luuatic asylum. But to use the government to cheat and rob the people is the great moral idea of the Republican party, and this' financial policy is only one of the. evidences of the fact.
