Daoud was examined before the Prosecution Commission yesterday.

Suleiman further.. alleged that when Ramleh Was surrounded by the troops on July 12th, Arabi ordered him to murder the Khedive.'

The de- partments of Tunin, Ayacucho, Arequipa, Tuno and Cuzco, where the undisciplined - forces of Caceres and Montero are found, are in a lamentably miserable state. The fields are reaped by the Monteneros or un- cultivated from want of security, aed the laborers hardly produce the crops in- dispensable for the food supply of the army of Arequipa, and of the banditti who make war npen their own countrymen in the districts occupied by the Chilians. The Peruvians are forced to pay war contribu- tions, whilst foreigners are . compelled to pay import and other duties, far higher than under the Peruvian -regime. , • A Good Word for Cremation. (London World.) . There are only three ways in which dead bodies can be disposed of—either-in earth, sea or fire; There are obvious objections, on the score of good taste, to sending our dead to be torn to bits by fishes: It is also certain that our cemeteries and graveyards, with slowly -decomposing masses of animal matter, leadsice the surrounding Soil being poisoned by the products Of pntrefaotion,e-- a result that cannot be considered, healthy by any stretch .of imagination.'
