On the morning of that day a de-~ tachment of government troops, occupying the town of Canta, sixty miles from Lims, in » valloy runniog parsllel to that of Rimac, was surprised by a on of General Can+ cere's army, and after a eharpaction of several hours, was forced to fly in disorder. The government troops aperating rga Canta were 850 men of the line with one g ling gun, fifty cavalrymen and fifty mounted gendarmee, the wholo force being commanded by Col. Torees, Canta had baen ocoupied for several days by the Montonerost, or irregular rovolutionary forcos, retiring on approach of the detachment. Oa Friday evening new: rived of the approach of & considerabla di islon of the enemy, and, upon Col. Busta- mente's advice, 1t was decided to defend the town, On'Saturday at 7 o, m. the hills enclosing Oanta were occupied by the enemy, spparent- ly 1,600 or 2,000 strong, and with #%out 200 cavalry. The latter were stationed at the outleta of the valley leading toward the const and to the interlor, so that from the first the government forces ware effectually_corralled Colonel Torres had placed his men in barracks situated 1n the prinsipal square of the town, haviog also emall outlying equads behind some of the walla in the suburbs.

The enemy descended the hills and attempted to enter the town, but they were repeatedly driven back, For two hours the positions of the combatants were unaltered, firing being all_the time very heavy. At md-day the defenders of the place be- was rapidly becoming exhausted, and for an hour they received without reply the volleys of the attacking party, At 3 o'clock a des- perate attempt was made to drive the rebels from the town, which they had then entered This failed and then defeat was accomplished.

Very few prisoners were taken, for as has been stated, no quarter was given. The Cancerists were commanded by Col.

From the fact that the Cagamarica battalion was decidely the finest in the government rvice, partieans of Cacerea here are jubl. liant over bis sucoess. 2 Five thousand soldiers in the garrison at Lima are not at all affected by the reverse, and their officers are confident of thelr loyalty in case of an attack on the city, Energetic precautionary measures are being taken.

Niw YoRK, Sept. 14,—A good deal of at- tention has been attracted tothe recent article | p_an, of George W. Childs, of Philadelphis, about General Grant. One point in particular has been the subject of wide-spread comment, This was Child's declaration that General Grant was convinced that Tilden was elected, I had a talk with Colonel Fred Grant upon the subject, Colonel Grant said thathe was with his father a good deal during the winter of 1876-77, and has in his possession papers which throw light upon General Grant’s be- lief at that particular time, Colonel Grant says he does not think that his father was clearly of the opinon that Tilden was entitled to the seat, Heo eays that hiy father thought that there was so much fraud upon both sides that the title of either Hayes or Tilden would have been clouded. Ho said, *'I think father’s that there ehould be a new electicn, At lea was_his original idea. He was eatisfied that whatever result plished there would be a very lar people tlu-ou;}huu! the country dil disposed to look upon such a result with serlous distrust, To avold this my father hoped to res ch some sort of compromise which would result in no election.

As an 8 year— old boy thrast his hand into his dinner- basket and drew out a botilo of milk the viclous warning of the deadly rattlesnake was heard from the depths of the dlnner- et. Down went the basket with a crash and in the fragment of s shaitered ple-plate his snakeship coiled himself while its buey tall made the alr vibrate with its angry song end that song was quickly re-echoed. From every corner of the achool room ocame the fearful warn- ing, and it was seen that at least half a dozen snakes had come to school. A wild scene of terror and confualon en- sued. The ueually suave and self-con- tained school made & hasty leap and loud shriek, the double effort landing her on top of the highest desk In the room. Her example in both leap and shriek was speedily followed, and the new puplls were left in possession of the floor, A very Babel of crtes and ecreams an- nounced that the school mistress and older glrls were in consultation how to get rld of ths undus amount of serpents that had so suddenly poesessed them.

The desks were sgain resorted to, but this time the terror was too great for crles and shrieks. A trembling horror seemed to poaseas all, while the gl‘norlng bead-like eye of the hage reptile seemea to fasclnate with lts scintillating glances. Just then the welcome roll of wagon wheels was heard on the road, on the margin of which the school hous stood. 1t broke the spell of horror, and shrick after shriek on all es of the gamut re- souuded from the building, In & mo- ment or two the bmly form of a stalwart ranchman filled the doorway. He took In the situation at a glance. A i ring to the 101dslde and back, and ening terror lay writhing beneath s heavy boulder, It proved to be five nd one-hal! feet In length and carrled fourteen rattles.
