There is no sacrifice too great which they will not cheerfully make, in order to secure their welfare, and for which they deserve from their neighbors the highest consideration and praise. o But unfortunately many of the parents now-a-days take wrong steps to secure the future happiness of their children, by their example of extrava- . gance of dress, mode of living, and ar- ; rogant pride, considering it below their dignity for the husband to work more - himself, instead of boasting about, and the wife to do her house-work to'a greater extent alone, instead of rocking in the chair, and idling the time otherwise, depending on servants, and continnally complaining of their tardiness and waste. - E

This common practice among the higher and middle classes of society makes the impression .on the mind of the young that they must give serious attention to outward appearance, they must be dressed well by ail meang, and if they want anything for their bodily comfort they do like their parents, command to be waited on, and this is the first fatal step in their life; they become depending beings and never will be self-relying, which is the safest prop of success in life.

‘The same false pride and even laziness, that so firmly nestles in the bogom of 80 many parents, makes them ‘say, our gon shall not be a farmer, a mechanic or a sea-faring man. No, that is too hard work, and besides that, he has too much brain for that ; he must study and become a doctor, a lawyer, a book-keeper or a clerk. Our dear daughter cannot do a thing in the house, for she has so much to learn, besides reading and writing. Ignoring geography, she must learn French, Latin and Greek ; she. must ~draw in colors, she must play on the piano and guitar, and sing well, and if possible, learn also fancy sewing and embroidery. i So the sons go to schdol, many of them until they are twenty-four years of age, the pareuts footing -the bills.— At last they get diplomas or are admitted to the bar, or certificates that they know book-keeping and also the L preliminaries of merchandising. - Bat, alas, young doctors are at a discount ; their chance for a remunerative practice is very meagre; and as for lawyers there are more lawyers “than clients. Book-keepers and clerks “are as plentiful as Canada thistles. It ‘is the hardest work to get a situation, “and if one is obtained, the salary is so -small that only a bare living can be obtained, and if not by some lucky ~chance a good footing is obtained, that clerk or book-keeper can only expect to lead a life of poverty to the end of his days. | I :

The daughter is also full grown, her eyes have an unusual bright luster, but her intellectua! face is very pale, and and she seems to' suffer from a very weak chest ; iher dress is faultless, her manners graceful, her conversational power charming ; she quotes French, Italian and Greek rea%ily, and plays delightfully on the piano. = It is natural that one of the young doctors, young lawyers, book-keeper and clerk, who has up+hill work to get along, thinks that h}ghl’y accomplished young lady would make him a good wife ; he proposes, is| accepted, marries and starts housekeeping, she never made up a bed, she never swept or dusted a room, she never kindled a’ fire'in a stove, she ktfows not how to.prepare a cup of coffee, or even set a table, and she is also p‘Lhysically unable to be a wife and mother. =

The disappointed husband hires the best female help he can get, to do the ‘cooking, housekeeping, and wait on the invalid wife. - Under such helps and circumstances' the scanty means get rapidly exhausted. What is to be done but appeal to their parents for help. But the parentsare no condition to render as@iatance. Their extravagant mode.of living, their dependence ‘on strangers to have done the work they ought to do themaelves, has crippled their resources. They are stranded in the evening hour of life, and the agony of distress is depicted in their features, their strength and courage has gone, they sink out of sight, and their pélor children, who deserve 10 be pitied, soon follow. _ We will not attempt to dwell on this painful scene, but endeavor to describe the natural/results of another mode of living and édncation. _ | “I have no trouble with my children and servant girls,” remarks a slain, neatly dressed, unassuming mid-dle-aged lady ; “every one of iny boys ‘had to learn a trade, and keep steady ‘atit. We made them a present of the ’board because we could-afford that, . but they had to clothe themselves, As for my a"gh”-! Fonly gave them a good, plain e ,nuriion. \{‘d_iﬂ not even let .them learn to play on the piano, for several reagons. Flirst, because they had to help do the housework ; they are excellent cooks; they are quick at

washing and ironing, and they gan scrub nicely, and being brought up to it, they have the strength to. do it without getting tired. Another reason why I did not allow them to learn to play on the piano, is, becanse they may marry a man who may not be able to buy a piano, and beside that, when they once get married they have to look after their house affairs ; get to bave children, -they will have music enough without a piano. These are my views. I know they ‘are not popular, but I see tlrat we get along far pleasanter than our neighbors who have daughters who know a great many refined things, but are bependent on others to do their work.” |

* A young, energetic mechanic. was lucky enough to marry a daughter of that house; he brings his young wife to his new home, which consists of only a few rooms plainly furnished, but everything looks neat and tidy. ‘What have we for breakfast ?’ asked he affectionateiy. - ‘Hash, biseuits and coffee.’

‘Hash and biscuits ? You frighten me;; I have had enough of hash and biscuits in the boarding houses.” They repair to the table, its snowy white linen, the polished cutlery, the steaming hash with its inviting flavor, the tender biscuits, the butter crowned with its little bit of ice, the nice coffee and cream, all have such an inviting appearance that the husband sits down, tastes of the hash and biscuits—‘Ah ! exclaims he, ‘thYs hash and biscuit is different from the boarding house hash and their stone-like biscuits ; ‘but why dop’t you eat ?’ - ‘I cannot eat a bite if you do not say a prayer with me first. My good mother learned me to make this hash and biscuit, but she also learned me to pray and give thanksgiving to God. In my parents’ house we always prayed before we partook of a'meal. Do, my dear, the same,—you will make me soo happy. : : Quick as lightning the husband laid down the culinaries, clasped his hands together and lifted . his - tearful eyes heavenward, and prayed from the inmost recesses of his heart :

‘I thank Thee, Heavenly Father, that Thou hast blessed me with a good wife. Make me worthy of her. . Bless us both with continued good héalth ; watch over us with Thy parental kindness ; keep us in the path of righteousness, that we may fulfill dur mission on earth honorably in thy sight and the gight of our fellow-men. - Amen.’ “You pray well,” said his wife, ‘for a new beginner.” ] : ‘lt is the aim of my lite whatever I do to do it well, and hope to improve in praying. You have turned my attention to be thankful to God for the many blessings that He so bountifully showers upon us. Weé will both of us be good, will we not? asked the husband earnestly. - : : ‘Yes, we will be just like parents, cheerful, industrious, self-relying, charl itable and saving.’ : ‘That is my view of life, but I must be off to my work. Shall I advertise for a girl ¥ 4 ; ;

‘No’ was the prompt reply : ‘Moth: er says that a servant girl costs per week, wages, board, and what she wastes, at least six dollars—that wounld be nearly one-third of your weekly earnings. Thank God, I can do without a servant girl, and save that much to my ‘darling husband.’ . There is a parting kiss between which two' hearts are forever blended into.one. i a 0

Years pass away, and six pledges of love now sit at the dining table, each rosy, and the very picture of health, and the happy mother shows no signs of fatigue. As she serves the noon meal the father gives the sign, the children clasp their hands and follow in the prayer of their parents. ‘Husband, you do not eat as heartily as usual, and seem lost in thought; what is the matter? Yon never.had any secrets which I could not share.’ - *Yes,” answered the husband, ‘I have something on my mind.” My employers are in a critical condition. All the partners lived high, drew too much from the business, and now they are forced to sell out. The few thou: sand dollars that-1 have laid up, are not sufficient; if I could make a loan f several thousand dollars, I could %uy: out the entire concern at a great bargain, and, under my management, it would yield a large income, and as our family is a - growing one, it would be desirable, and besides that, I could, by-and-by, take my boys in business, learn them the: 'trade, and this would be excellent in the future.” = |

‘Father will let you have the money. They have invited us several times to spend the Christmas with them, and you never took the time ; now let us. visit them with all the children, and you, or if you allow me, I will ask them to loan you the money you need.’' ‘You are always clear and compre. hensive,” observed the husband affec’ tionately. ‘I will follow your suggestion.” ! 2oy

‘There was a gay time at the old folks’, when the daughter with her exemplary husband, and their well brought up -children arrived. The Christmas Tree was in splendid trim, and grandfather ‘jumped about like a boy. - “Everything is all right,’ said he. “‘That son-in-law is a capital fellow, but there is one thing that I do not like, he has never asked of me a favor. I would feel more fatherly toward him if I could render him a favor.”

‘Father,” exclaimed the daughter, ‘could I and my*husband talk to youn in private on business ¥’ e ‘Certainly,’ said he. ‘Thanks to the Builder of all the world, now comes =myﬁhance,to show myself that I am a good father” ' M At

The plan to buy out the establish: ment was nervously stated, and read: ily granted. : s B G 0 ‘Yes, my dear son, jyou can have ten thousand dollars without interest ; 1 don’t want your, nate, just giverme credit in your books, and you need not pay it all back in one year; don't crowd yourself, if I have it all back in ‘two years it will do. 1 was no egqnd! thrift in my young daz's.’g'l‘ and my wife did not live in grand style. We always lived well, but plainy workéd

{nﬂ we could -ourselves, and did not ‘throw our money away foolishly, and now we are in a poeition to assist our deserving children. Our children are all deserving children.’ Thanks to the Builder aund Preserver of all the worlds, we have model sons and mod. el danghters.” ' _ If parents like to have model sons: and model daughters, they must set them the example of humility before God, of industry and temperance in their mode of living. The plainer and ‘more unassuming they live, the better it will be for them ang their children ; and let their sons, by all meang, learn a trade, and encourage them to beeome master mechanics. ) , - And let their daughters learn practically the art of cooking and housekeeping, that they may retain health and grow physically strong, to be enabled to falfill the duties of wife and mother, and to be a helpmate, as God has ordained. The fashions of our day spoil, and the penalty is a life of misery ' Without issue and an early grave.— Aliena optimum insania—it iz well to profit by the madness of others. _

- THE TIENTSIN HORROR. 2 Details of the Terrible Massacre of Frenech Christians by Chinese. The Tientsin correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin, under date of June 30, gives the following account of the causes which led to the terrible slaughter of the French Christians, at that place, on June 21.- The statements seem to bes, dispassionate, ‘and throw much’light on the melancholy affair: “ As most of the reports thus far have come through Chinese ‘channels it has been difficult to get at a clear and connected statement of the detailsand the causes -which led to it. From the best information obtainable the Sisters of Charity have been in the habit of paying a premium of - a certain sum per head for all the children. brought to their institutions. This caused, as the Chinese assert, kidnapping to :ob- ! ‘tain the bounty. I have no doubt this.is true to a greater or less extent—at any rate l the Chinese honestly believed it, and have complained of it for a long time. In ad.. dition to this unwise action inducements were held out to induce children to be brought to the Catholic mission in the last stages of illness for the purpose of baptism én articulo mortis. In this way many children were taken to the mission when about to die, baptised and soon after taken away dead. ; ‘“ About the beginning of June some sort of an epidemic broke out in the ‘Sister's’ establishment, and many children died. A report got about that the Sisters were killing the children for the purp of getting their eyes and hearts to useg the manufacture of a medical specifi, which commanded a fabulous price abroad. The rumor, too imprebable and absurd: for belief by any civilized and Christian people, was told by one to another and honestly believed by the mass of this ignorant and superstitious people. | Angry and excited crowds assembled in the street from time to.time in the neighborhcod of the, mission buildings, and demanded the release of the children. Nothing, so far a% I can learn,'was done by the Sisters, Priests, or the French Consul to allay the excitement or disabuse the minds of the populace. The Consul, who, if reports be true, was one of the most impracticable of Frenchmen, positively refused to have an examination made. The result was a mob which killed the Comsul, his Clerk, eight or nine Sisters, one Priest, five French citizens, three Russians, and, it is estimated, fifty native Christians and servants, in and about the mission establish‘ment and consulate. Very few foreigners lived in the Chinese city, but what there were of other nationalities escaped unharmed. It is thought the mob mistook the three Russians for Frenchmen, else they would not have been Kkilled. . ‘“Every fact goes to show that the 'fu'ry of the people was directed against the Catholics, which, in their estimation, in:cluded all#French subjects —as all their Catholic missions. are under the special care and protection of the French minister in Pekin, and the French Consuls at the 'various open ports. ' Considerable uneasiness is reported to be felt in Pekin by the missionaries and other foreigners, lest this mob spirit should spread, The Catholics have several large establishments there, -and the French are said not to fecl easy about them. Some years ago singular stories were started about the ‘Sister’ institution there; but the French minister then had good judgment, and gave such orders as caused an investigationand thereby ‘quieted the populace, - ' | '“The Chinese,government are repoited anxious to make ample reparation, but their weakness and ignorancz of foreign customs is a great bar to their doing the right thing at the proper moment. “While I have no words to palliate ‘or gloss over this terrible crime, or to excuse 1n any way the interest if not direct complicity of the officers who could have prevented this uprising and massdcre ; still, the truth should be told about the ill-advised course of the Catholic mission-: aries; which was the direct cause of the whole trouble and its sad consequences.— The ignorance and superstition which prevail among the lower classes in China 18 a misfortune rather 'than a 'fault, and foreigners'should earefully avoid actscalculated to arouse suspicions, and when aroused shonld use all reasonable means to allay them. It isin this view of the case that I blame the Catholic missionaries, and still more the French Consal.— All attempts to force religion on-a pagan people will fail, and the practice of puschasing children to bring them under the influence of christianity will surely end in digaster. Foreigners must cultivate the. better nature of the Chinese if they would obtain their confidencé and respect, and without the confidence of these people all” religious teachings will be of little avail.” . DETAILS OF THE HORRIBLE BUTCHERY.

... IFrom the Hong Kong Daily Press, June 22, The, Catholic- missionaries. who have for many years been teaching the native children and making many converts, provoked the hostility of the native priests and lower order of mandarius by their success. As a pretext for the meditated attack the missionaries were aécuséd of kidnappithhinege children-and: forcing them to attend their schools. ' 'Stories to this effect were circulated, parents became alarmed, and the populace were worked up to a great piteh of excitement, so that out'of more than' 200" children ‘attedding ‘the school at ‘Tiéntsin'all Had been taken. ‘away but 50 or 60 of them. ' The aldrm . spread rapidly through ‘the Tower tlasses, nd ‘then 'missionaries were ‘accused ‘of ‘¥illing’ childrén and’ scooping out “their eyes for medicinal ptirpoies, ' Al sorts of -horrible stories were qifickly entrent’ to ‘thie tfary 'of the milsiofiary Work. “Out‘breaks took place at the'Sotith. ' Plicards were posted by the more tatbiflenit’ of the

literati and priests. . At many of the treaty ' ports the effect was to raise riots, which, however, were quickly put under by the efforts ot the foreign consuls, backed by gunboats. .[ | S l At last notices were posted, exciting the | people to destroy the missionary houses ‘ and charches. The people gathered in huhdreds, and wére soon given to understand by theirleaders what was seeded of them. The ‘Chinese authorities, in the meanwhile, as everywhere else at such/ times, did nothing, or worse than nothing; they helped on the riot inan underhand | way. On the 19th of June a crowd as ! sembled in the native city, one and a-half l miles above the'foreign bund. After a | time the French Consul,- who ‘lived in i that quarter, succeeded in inducing the . people to disperse. . They moved away;“f] ~but still exhibited signs of hostility to foreigners. Dr. Frazer, physician at Tient- i sin, met the crowd and narrowly escaped - a beating by the swiftness of his horse.— ‘ Or the 20th some French priests were' “beaten, and the French Consul, Mr. Fon- } ‘tanier, notified H. E. Chuirg-;h,pw, -at’ the,‘ ‘Yamen, of the fact, and requested him to put a stop at once to the tumult. About 12 M. on the 21st of Juné, the French consul and guests, Mr. Thomassin, Secretary of Legation at Pekin, and his'wife (both | of whom had but just arrived out from France) together wwith Mr. Coutris, were at Tiffin, when 'a multitude of excited’ Chinese came toward the house, shouting and yelling, and demanding that all the children should be given back to them.—. Stones and other missiles were thrown at the consulate, breaking the windows and damaging the table around which the lady and gentlemen were séated. The Consul and bis friend, Mr. Thomassin, put on their uniforms, and went out to endeavor to disperse the mob. ‘They found the Chinese would not obey ; therefore; leaving the lady for atime in the house, they all went toward the 'Yamen, some cighth of a mile distant.; On the way there Mr. Thomassin, finding the matter ~wearing a more serious look than he had at first expected, returned to protect his wife. . Mr. Coutris here became separated from his friends, and the French Consul i and his secretary walked into the Yamen | gma demanded an interview with Chung, E the Military Governor of the province.— i The crowd pressed all about ‘the Consul, | using threatening language. Chung could f not or,would not help him. It is known l that the Consul fired off his revolver, but | it was thought to have been accidentally discharged while he was being pushed l and crowded in the audience chamber.— | At all evencs, there was no one hurt by | the pistol, which would not ‘have been the case had it been raised. The Consul, finding himself hard pressed, and wit Lout the chance of any help being afforded by Chung, turned and left" the Yamen for his house. He Lad not gone many steps before he was seized by the Chinese, his. uniform: torn off; his body beaten, and eventually cut and stabbed with knives and’spears. His death must have occured at about the same time as Mr. Thomassin’s—the one near the Yamen and the _other near the Consulate. Poor Thomassin ‘was fated wnever to see his wife alive again ; he fell beneath the spears of the bloodthirsty Chinese. The sight of blood warmed the -ruffians to their appointed work, and they rushed to the French Consulate. Mrs. Thomassin-met them bravely in the door-way, pistol in hand. ~One, two, and some sdy three Chinamen fell -pefore her pistol shots, when numbers overpowered her, und she ‘was killed by the blow of a sharp instrument on the ‘back of her head. 4o R

The | Consulate buildings were then burned- and destroyed, and all the ser vants massacred. In the meanwhile while 'the convent house’ of the Sisters of Charity and the French Cathedral ’ were being assaulted by the mob.. A priest at the doorway was killed, and ten women quickly shared the same fate, but in a more‘horrible manner. ' Most ot them; were beaten, their clothes torn off, ‘and then they were seized and placed on their heads against the convent wall, and hack ed to piecés in the most savage macner—their eyes dug out, their breasts cut off, their bodies stabbed and ripped open, and every cruelty that savage brutes can effect, too sickening here to narrate, was perpetrated. One of the Bisters, named l Louisa, well-known as a faithful and con- | stant attendant at' the~hospital in Shang- | hai, was reported to: Have escaped in a Chinese dress, and was concealed by some ] Chinese female friends until night, when, attempting to go back to the convent, her European_ shoes aiscovered her to be a white WOman;' and she was qqickly/t_a_ken and killed, and the body thrown into the river. T :

The Chinese burned the cathedral and. convent buildings, and it is sapposed at least 60 Chiuese children perished in the cellars of theé buildings, where they had fled for safety. The bodies of the Sisters were thrown back into the buildings after being killed, and burned. Their charred ‘remains were afterward collected by the orders of Chung, and sent down to the foreign quarter of Tientsin. ; . The butchery did not end here, . Chal"maieon.f another Frenchman living near the west gate, was also killed. His wife escaped and was bazbored by Chinese in the same street: Butishe went ouf at night to' her house, in Chinese clothes, ‘and on her way back, missing the friend1y ‘house, and calling out to them to open ‘the door, her'voice betrayed her, and she -was killed by the drilled troops ' = +1" A& Russiat officer, Mr! Protopopoff, with “his wife, marriéd but the day before, were riding with a Ruesiati gentlemani named ‘Bascoff, near the French Consulate, when ‘thiey were set apon by the mob and killed. ‘Théir bodies were thrown'into the river. ‘M¥.

The next day after the butchery Qhungf? how had the remains of the -foreigners collected and sent into the settlement.— The Russian bodies were taken'from the river near the strand. The . foreign comwunity buried all but the French in the cemetery, with the usual funeral éetemonies. The bodies of the French were eare: fully collected and placed in coffins.at the cewmétery, where they remain till the coun- | trymen of the slain arrive to give ‘-tbein proper funeral honors and cé’nsecmtion._ "The Protestant missions -also received the attention of the mob, who visited them, but the missionaries had escaped.— Eight Protestant chapels were looted and destroyed. No Protestant converts were killed; so far as known; but they were beaten and their houses pillaged. Thete can:be no doubt at all about the conniv ance of the authorities at this dreadful massacre ; for-even if it did not ori’ginﬁte with them, it was within their power ‘to, put down all display of bad feeling when they were first requested to doso. They did not choose'to .move a finger in this direction, but treated the urgent appeals of the British Consul. with supercilious contempt,” No-sooner, however, had the atrocious/deed been done, than ‘tﬁe authorities began to awake to & sense of what they had done, and to dread th 2 consequences. As a proof that the Chinese generally knew of the intended attack, it may be mentioned that for several days previously parents had been coming by day and night to take away - their children from the schools; so that out of abont 450, only about 200 remained on the day of the fire. :The 30 who were found smothered must have run into the vaults on thé first alarm being given.— The shop-keepers about the Sisters’ place ‘had for some days been removing from their shops.. The following official proclamation, issued by Wang ‘Chih Hisen, of .Tantu, ‘in the prefecture of Chinkeaug, dated 6th June, 1870, show the part taken by the ailtlm;iti.es in inciting the peo.ple to the tiot which occurred two weeks Tater: o : e

' “Whereas it has been discovered by me that a number:of vicious characters are going about in all directions, kiddapping children'and, young women, by stupefying them either through the tastein something they give them to eat, or of vapor conveyed in tobacco they givethem to smoke, thereby rendering them more easy subjects for abduction, the result of which is that they are cruelly mardered for the the sake of procuring, in the case of males, their eye-balls, livers, and testes, and in that of females, their breasts and privy parts, which are cut to be made up, it is - presumed, : into some strange drug. And asthis is a matter for deep commiseration, the Chih Hisen has taken secret and vigilant measures for ' the apprehien: sion and conviction, 'and it is his duty to issue .this pressing notice, calling upon all: classes not to allow their wives and. children to run the risk of being kidnapped by going out at will ;and any oné'who can procure theconviction of one of these kidnappers shall;, without fail, receive a reward of $lOO. Let all obey with fear and trembling. A necessary notice.” The foreign = residents at once' took measurcés for protection. The steamers Appin and Manchu' wértié in port, and as the frightfal news spread, these steamers became the places of refuge for these foreign women and ‘children. The Manchu, with her own two guns, was quickly fur: nished with nine more, making a formidable battery for the pratection of the set: tlement - The community quickly fqrﬂmedq a volunteer corps for the protection of their property ashore, and all night long the strcets were patrolled . Sk ‘An American consul, J. A. T. Mead: ows, was the one who Seehled to view the whole affair with unconcern. _ He wasevidently under the protection of his friend and employer, Chung, for he did ot turn out ‘with the volunteers, and rather sneered at-their ehdetiwré to protect their lives and property. When the rumor came - into town th‘at Tseng-kwofan had been ordered down here by the emperor, Mr. Meadows then did show some excitement, as Chung’s head looked cheap at any price to foreigners. =~ - Tre Chinese authorities, ‘cowardly as they are cruel, have betrayed abject tear of the consequences of what they have dohe in many_ ways ‘sin€e the dreadfyl ‘occurrence took place. .

requesting him not to allow the gunboat to fire upor the city. To-day again (27th) his excellency bas asked the British consul to apply for the acting appointment of French consul, when the two could settle all matters between them. Altogether it seems as if the native authorities had taken leave of their senses. DECREE OF THE EMPEROR IN REGARD TO - THE OCCURRENCES AT TIENTSIN ON THE 21sT OF JUNE. : S Chung-how, having reported to the emperor about the troubles in Tientsin, between the! people and the missionaries, and the fight which has taken place be tween them ; and acknowledging himself guilty, having |prayed that ge mrighit be punished, and t.gmh the other-locsl man arins might likewise be chastised severely according to their greater or lesser guiltiness: : ; ¢ \ ‘“The privy council (Nieko) have received an imperial decree, dated Tunge: hib, 9th year, sth moon, 25th day (25th - June, 1870), which rups thus: - ¢ In consequence of some bad people having kidnapped children, and charged the missionaries’ establishments ' with be ing implicated 1n this crime, it came to pass that the people of Tienstin began to entertain doubts in their minds, and cre- : ated disturbances; and further in consequence of the French consul, Fontainier, having discharged & revolver in the Yamen of Chung'how, and - fired a shot at the city magistrate of Tientsin, the excitement. of the people rose to such a degrec that a general fight ensued, in.the course of which Fontanier was killed and the missionary establishments set on fire and demolished. ' 3 It appears from this: First, that Chung-liow, being intrusted. with the management of interpational affairs, has . been unable to pacify the place : second, -that the total of Tientsin, Chow-chia-“hsun, whose duty it was to set a good example to all the people; has not been able to prevent the outbreak. before it wasto late ; third, that the chifu (prefect) of Tientsin, Chang kuang-tsae, Chihhsien, (city magistrate) of Tientsin, Luichih, have shown an utter want of skill in the fulfilment of -their several duties. . It 'is evident that so: great a disaster ‘could never have taken place but for the ‘alleged reason, and that therefore all the -above named officials: must ‘be.considered ‘guilty and responsible” for these events. - The ministry of administration (Lipu) ~bas therefore been Instructed to define the several punishments to be inflicted upon - ‘the said officials. - - : Further, Tseng-kwo-fan ‘has -been or‘dered to repair to 'Tientsin, to institute strict inquiry into.the occirrences, and report upon them to the emperor. Again, as. regards the miserable indi~viduals who have been guilty of kidnapping, and the-principal instigators of the late disturbances, they must be. arrested and punished. It will be the duty of Tseng-kwo-fan, in concert with Chung how,“to execute the measures necessary with regard to the: latter point. In'the discharge of this duty they will have to investigate the bottom, and to search for the root ; they must proceed with justice and without prrtiality, or- any -private considerations, ¥l ’ 'This is our imperial will.

MOVEMENTS OF FOREIGN STEAMERS for the protection of foreigners in Tientsin. The British steamer Dragon left ’ Tientsin for ~Shanghai on the 21st of June, the day of the massacre, but before the outbreak took place. - A 'couriér was dispatehed by Mr. Lay, the British consul, Wpo overtook her at Taku, and communicated the intelligence of the massacre. The gunboat Oppossum was immediately sent to Tientsin, and on the arrival of the Dragon at Shanghai, the Dwarf was also dispatched to that point.. The United® States steamer Ashuelot, under ‘Commander Taylor, left Hong Kong for ‘Tientsin on the 4th of July. Commander. McCrea, the senior officer commanding 1n Japan, proceeds immediately to Nagaski, after the arrival of the American mail. He will be in readiness to proceed to Tientsin in case Commander Taylor) needs ‘assistance.. The Erench: gunboat Avon arrived in Tientsin July 28, from Japan. The French charge deaffaires at Pekin had telegraphed to Paris for instructions, and expected a reply July 1 e ¢ T
