Messenger, and several American eentle-
men resident here. I was prevented by
indisposition from attending. I tinder.
stand lhat an honor of this kind has never
oeen pud to a foreign minister. But the
Peruvians may well rejoice.
Had the United .States persisted in pro
tecting the Guano speculators in getting
the article from the Lota, the value of
the Chincha guano which forms lhe
sole revenue of this eovernment would
have sunk one half, and her credit would
have been prostrated. The Lobos are es
timated to contain two millions ol tons.
which at thirty dollars -per Ion. is sixtv
millions of dollars. The combined effect
of the loss of this great property and the
depreciation of the Chincha guano would
bave been national bankruptcy ; an im
mediate overturn of tho government, and
a series of bloody revolutions.
With the turn things bave now taken.
the prosperity f .Peru is assured. Kbi
wilh now go ahead rapidly. The euano
deposits are inexhausli ble, and as a great
care is taken under government suspervi
sion, to regulate their removal, confining
the operations to certain spots, so that the
birds may not be frightened awny from
others, this 'smgirfaf source of. revenue is-
renewed as fast as it is exhausted. From
henceforward Peru shoots a long ahead
of all i be other South Amercan States on
the Pacific coast ; tind a she feels that
she owes this to the magnanimity of the
United States in retracing a hasty step,
her gratitude is unbounded. It wilt give
us a lasting influence in her councils.
The Peruviac gorernment is behaving
very handsomely toward the vessels char
tered for guano."

by lh Provident Society for giving out work I

Society, in Piune street, wa absolutely besieg
ed during ibis morning by hundred of women
who were crowding into the building, clustered
about lhe door and windows, and eagerly in.
tading every point, back and front, by which
access lo ibe office could be obtained. The
feces of all these females bore lhe mark of
car and want ; many ol ihein were widows,
aad most of them were mothers. The scarcity
of employment during the winter season at lhe
kinds of work to which Ibey have been acco
lomed, drives these poor creatures in swarm

certain porijou of labor lo those only who are

Tb eagerness with which woik is solicited,
even at ibe pittance received lor it, is an evi
dene of the suffering condition of lhe appli
cants. A committee ol gentlemen superintend
Ibe giving out and receiving of work, aud thus
avoid an eipense which would be otherwise in

lo persons who will labor lor it. Most of the

and wages good, are loo apt to crowd into ibe

Household Duties. From variety of
i
causes, nojwog is more common man to
find American women , who bave not the
slightest idea of household duties. A wri
ter thus alludes to this subject:
fin this1 neglect of household cares,' A
merican women stand alone. A German
lady, no matter how lofty her rank, never
forgets that domestice labours conduce to
lhe hentlh of bedjrutid mind alike." An
EnglUh-lady, whether she be only gen
tleman's wife or a duke's, dors not de
spise the household, and even though she
has a housekeeper, devotes a portion of
her time to this, ber true, ber happiest
sphere. It is reserved for our republican
fine ladies to be more choice that) even
their monarchicaland aristocratic sisters.
The result is a lassitude of mind, often as
fatal to health as lhe neglect of bodily ex
ercise. A be wile who leaves ber house
hold cares to servants, pays the penalty
which has been affixed to idleness since
the foundation of the world, and either
wilts away from enui, or is driven into all
sorts of fashionable follies, to find employ
ment for her mind." j
.A Passing Thought. We believe the
following has been published in our col
umns once before, but it will bear repeti
tion :
" Rothschild is forced to content himself
with tbe same bky as the poor newspaper
writer, and the great banker cannot order
a private sunset, or add one ray to the
magnificence of night. The same air
swells all lung. Each o.ie possesses, re
ally, only his own thoughts and his own
senses, soul and body these are the pro
perty which a man owns. All that is val
uable, is to be had for nothing, in this
world. Genius, beauty and love are not
bought and sold. You may buy a rich
bracelet, bnl not a well turned arm to wear
it a pearl necklace, not a pretty throat
with which it-shnU vie. The richest bank
er on earth would vainly offer fortune
to be able to writeja verse like Byron.
One comes into the! world naked, and goes
out naked the difference in the fineness
of a bit of linen for a shroud is not much.
Man is a handful of clay, which turns
quickly back again into dust." 1
TABLE UAPIMNG, &c.
, It has become very popular among tbe young
people of our City, to have what ibey call, a
table walking. They procure a light pine ta
ble, gather around it, place their bands on il,
and alter the elapse of some twenty. five min
utesithey go round, and the table follows !
This Isrery miraculous f Can we, by "any
reasoning, tell how the electric fluid- from lhe
body gels into the table 7 Too deep, for the Ani
mal I And mure, we bave never aeen a table
walk ; but, we have heard certain tools usually
to be seen on the dining tables, " walk and
talk, to some purpose. lo cut a long story
boil, -the whole affair is another humbug, with
sufficient believer, to keep il in constant agt
tation. By the way, we beard an old bunts
man tell a tale, not a great while ago, whicl
w'll do to tell in connection wilh this spiritual
rapping yarn. He says, on a certain occasion.
he: in company -with -a- friend, went out fox
hunting; lhe day was exceedingly cold the

Tortures of the Sex. A writer in Cham
bers's Edinburg Journal thus details them:
" About a hundred years ago a lady went
about with shoes that raised her heels
three inches aboVe the floor, and threw her
whole person out of its proper balance,
occasioning, of course, a severe strain up
on certain muscles, attended by constant
pain. A little later, a tower of hair, po
matum, flour, pins, and pinnrtrs had been
reared upon the bead, such as an inquis
itor might have considered himself very
ingenious in devising. In more recent
times we nave seen tne entire sex sun
mit'ing to torture in the waist, with an
equal degree of magnanimity. Or taking
