The late reports from the East of the
wholesale slaughter of the Christians in Syria
by the [ruses and Moslems, have filled the
country with sadness. The [buses who
have been the principal authors of the recent
massacres, kre robbers of Arab origin, who
inhabit southern Lebanon and are said to
number 100,000 souls. They have long been
on bad terms with the Christians and began
attacking their villages and murdering their
people the latter part of May Cruel and
blood thirsty, they butchered young arid old
alike. A village Called ilas i beiya, contain
ing 200 Protestants, was the scene of a tor
riblu slaughter ; mill two of the whole pop
ulation escaped. ✓
Of the massacre at this place, a comes
pondent of t h e London News says
" The village was attacked by an over
helming body of liruses on Saturday, June
The Christians Armed to repel them,
and for two days held their Own, on the
third driving hack their enemy Hitherto
the commander of the Turkish Emma had
stood aloof, although as was the case at
Sidon, at [heir el-Katnar and at It.isheya
he had troops enough at his rammand to re
pel and defeat the proses, hail he so wiabeel.
When he saw that the Christians were gain
ing the day he called them back, and in the
name of the Sultan ordered them to retire
within the aeraglia (a large building cover.
rag nearly an acre of ground. and containing
the residence of the commander as well as
the barrack), arid to give up their arms, as
he, the local representative of the Govern
meat, would conduct them all safe to Da
til/teen/I, where they would be better than in
f i pe ilasbeiya. while the civil war /sated.—
The Christians obeyed.him, returned. gave
up their arms, which were immediately
packed up and sent toward Damascus, but
with so absurdly small an escort that the
Drusas took possession of both the muskets
and the ninnies that carried them within an
hour of leaving the place. The Christians
asked again to be sent with their familice,
as promised, to Damascus. For nearly a
week they were put on with some pretext or
other, until, on the stet day after their being
disarmed (during which unto the Turkish
soldiers had prevented any of them from
leaving the precincts of the seraglio), two
Uralic sheiks of great mfluence aii-ised, and
had a conference of several hours with _the
Turkish commander of the troops. No
sooner was the conference ended than the
Christians observed that the harein (wives,
women and children), as well as the property
of the commander, wan removed from pc
seraglie and that the Turkish sadiers lso
removed their, haggage outside. Suspecting
treachery. many of the Christians tried to
•escape from the place, but were prevented
by thb bayonets of the troops, while their
women and children-,
!IBM' to remove to the largo upper chamber
of the buildings, the men being forced to
remain below. By this time it With known
that many hundreds of armed Bruges were
close to the town. The troops had hardly
made the aforesaid artangements when the
Bruges were admitted into the seraglio, and
rushed like hungry tiger upon the unarmed
mob in t.he court-yard. No man was spared.
In ten minutes the very Stones were inch
deep in human blood. No butchery ever
known in the history equaled this In ferocity
and cowardice. In half an hour upward of
a thousancretrong wen were hacked to death.
Some few tried 'again to escape, but were
driven book by the bayonets of the Turkish
soldiers (regular troops, not Buhl Bazooka),
and the Dreses had their revel of blood un
disturbed—mothers, wired, daughters and
young children witnessing from above the
maestro of their relatives. I could enter
intirdihre details, but sicken at tho task.—

'‘ The defense of Myleh, the most warlike
town In Lebanon, Was conducted with much
spirit. As an illustration of the manlier 'n
which the desperate forlorn hope of the
Christians behaved in this last battle, in
wlmit about seven their Band Druses and
ATRIA were engaged in the siege, we will
refer to one CAW only at present.
" The Itruses had gamed the suliurlot of
the town, and had sOceeeded in setting fire
to about a score of houses, when the Chris-'
bans rattled and drove them out upon the
plain The Drusea were led try a most fero

fourteen years of age, who determined to
die in defence of his home. lie rushed into
the ranks of the enemy, mid, shooting the
chief, fell, pierced 'With spears and bullets.
•• The chief war killed, and the little
hero shared his grave."
What renders these outrages more pitiable
is that the towns and villages laid desolate
were prosperous and happy : their Christian
inhabitants produced wine, oil, silk and corn
in abumlance they were the nucleus of a
thriving community. All is now destroyed;
the work or a genertli9n has been swept
away.
Shooing of a Culprit to Court Room
By a Woman.
A Mrs. Help was lisiting a lady friend, at
her residence in Chinon Valley, California --
Her husband anti daughter, about seven
years old. were with her. They came over
the plains last year. 4 The Wife, in order to
help her husband hid opened a laundry It
appears that during the spring they had al
io% ed a mck and 4,sosted man to come to
their house, and to *horn they frequently
gave meals. Ile was rttnek set, bad look•
tug man, apparently a mixture of Mexican,
Indian, and negro blood : has always been
suspected of being one of Torn Hell's gang of
murderers. lie lately returned there, and
constantly nthulted Mrs 11., by making um
prop( r advances. which resulted in his be
ing often sent easy. They lived in a small
boarded house, at the lower cud of Carson
street. Night before last the fello , a fired
several halls through--it. very nearly killing
the husband and daughter. Thu wife es
caped with her child to a neighboring tav
ern.
Yesterday aftenioon there wax a deal of
excitement in relation to it, and about the
middle of the day he came in advance of a
mob, and took his seat on some lumber, di
rectly across the seat from the door, and it
was supposed that . they were going to lynch
bun It was subsequently ascertained that
Judge Cradlebaugh had issued a warrant
for his arrest, and that ho had 'towed he
would kill the woman and her family, and
which, judging front his desperate character,
he would have done.
On the 2d about 3 p. m., those in
the room occupied by Wells, Fargo & Co ,
were startld by the near remit of a - pistol.
On going to the door they found that the
disturbance originated in the next room It
was ascertained that the fellow, having been
arrested, had been undergoing In that room
a preliminary investigation before Judge
Cradlebaugh, who decided to hold him in
5500 bail for trial, which he sent for, the
Judge temporarily clearing the room. Mrs.
11. was an important witness against him,
and was calm and clear in her evidencli. So
soon as she ascertained that he was to be
set free on procuring bail she made her hus
band get up and go out, and - tMe followed
immediately. She had to pass directly be
hind the fellow, who was sitting down, lean
ing forward, with his head resting upon his
hands.
As she came behind him ) she suddenly
drew a revolver, which it seems she kept
under - her shawl,:;itoolly placed
it within a cew inches of hiaback, bCt4ben
his shoulders, and Bred before the person
nearest could arrest her grin. Ile started
up, partly dropping the blanket from his
shoulders, walked two or three steps, seized
a man by his shoulders to support himself,
gave a grasp or two, and aspired. Mrs. 11.
calnily walked oil through thy-crowd, with
her husband, to her own house. Subsequent
examination showed that Hu ball had passed
through the heart. and came out below the
left nipple.
Popular feeling is generally on the side of
the woman, many justifying her as having
dor.o an act beneficial to the entire commu
nity, as well as essential to her own sofety.

The Sight of a Beautiful Blind Girl Re
stored by Marriage
A physiological wonder occurred a short
time since in this city. which will doubtless
prove as -interesting to our readers as it al
ready has to physiologists and occutints A
young and exceedingly interesting girl. re
siding on Eight street, whose name we sup
press from motives of delicacy, and whose
amiable disposition, elegant manners and
placid beauty of soul had endeared her to all
who knew her, was, a year or two ago,
compelled to discontinue her studies and
leave school, in consequence of a partial loss
of eyesight that threatened to become total
She was entirely unable to read, andealtli'o
she could see enough to enable her to walk
about., visit her friends and entertain them
when they called upon her, the threatened
loss of sight gave her much annoyance and
aroused the sympathies of all who became
acquainted with the facts. A number of our
most skillful physicians were employed by
the family. and she was even taken to some
of our most noted ocdulists ; but all their
learning, dexterity and management proved
unavailing. Iler eyes looked healthy, were
beautifully pensive in their expressicr, and
seemed deep as her soul was pure. bt they
were neverthelesti-to heralmost whillly use
less.
-Notwithstanding this rather melancholy
physical defect, a young man who had long
been dtvoted.to her, offered his hand in mar
riage. She demurred, and through an ex
cess of affection, refused to bestow upon the
man who had long since won her heart, eta
tinthat she never would consent to become
a burden upon the man she loved. For a
long time he persisted in his suit, and at
length through his praiass, and sighs. made
her believe that life with her, even if she
were wholly blind, were better than a Para
dise where she was not. A month or two
ago her resolution waa rescindiill, and she
became kis wife, and strange as it may seem
from that day her eyesight began to improve
and she is now Ole to read the finest print
by gas light s without pain and apparently
without any optical injury. The ease has
caused considerable sensation among those
who are conversant with the eircatnstancea.
Apart from its Significance as a well estab

tion of what has been clearly and wittily
said; "That love is blind, but Hymen is the
