—— * FOREIGY AFPATRS, A Budget of Late News From the Old World. Fanatical Chinese Rioters Attack American Missionaries, The Department of State has received a telegraphic despatch from the Minister at | Pekin, China, reporting that a riot has oc. | curred at Ichang, on the Yangtee-Kiang | River, in the Province of Hoo Pe, and that an establishment of American missionaries there has been destroyed. No further par. ticulars are given, The gravity of the situation in China in- creases daily, and the Navy Department is lending its aid to protect American interests | in answer to the representations of the De- artment of State. The Charleston is now on er way to China from San Franeisco,and the Petrel, in the neighborhood of New York, is | under orders to proceed immediately to China | to strenghten Admiral Belknap's fleet; but | they can bardly reach their destination in- | side of two months, Particular concern is felt at the depart ments in this last riot because of its loca- tion. the Yangtse-Kiang than Hong Kow, whic is as far above the mouth war oan make their way ordinary cireamstanes, In time high water light draught war vessals may get above there, and, in fact, the Ashuslot and the Monocacy have each succeeded in reaching lchang. But unless there is high water in the river at present Admiral Bel knap will have difficulty in getting a vessel ! up to the scene of trouble. Corpse in a Coal Bunker, A horrible discovery was made in the coal bunker of the Thompson Kne steamer Fre- mona at Montreal, Canada, While working among the coal the men found a human foot and a search for the body to which the feet was supposed to be- long was made. The stench in and around the bunker was almost unbearable, When the men got to the bottom of the | bunker they found the body of a man. It was a shriveled mass, It was doubled up, both feet were gone and the features wers unrecognizable, The remains proved to be those of 8, Dick- son, who kept a widowed mother in Shields England. He was employed on the Fremona while in Shields Harbor as a coal trimmer, While thought to be ashore he was down in the bunker at work when the coal was being put in, and he was buried alive under tons of coal. 150 The Immigration Into Canada, In the Canadian House of Commons at Ottawa there was a lively discussion on the immigration estiinates. Sir Richard Cart- wright said that he thought it was time the Government ceased paying out £250,000 a year on an immigration which was either mythical or useless, inasmuch as a great ma jority of the immigrants leave Canada for the United States. In the last ten years the Government had spent nearly $3 000,000 on immigration. An immigration of 884,000 rsons was reported, but the population increased by only 504,000 Barglars and Parricides, Two young men named Hoeffler, aged respectively eighteen and twenty-four, broke into the house of their parents in Berlin, Germany, believing it to be empty at the time, and proceeded to the bedroom of their father, intending to steal some money which was usually kept there. The elder Hoefflor was in the room, however, and grappled with the burglars. A flerce strug- gle followed, which ended in the old genthe- man being beaten to death by his sons, Sad Death on the Alps, Charles Lane, of New York, who has beens | living at Oberbofem, near Thun, sixteen miles from Berne, Switzerland, recently es. corted a party of women on an excursion to Beatenberg, on Lake Thun, The women re turned by the same way they came, but Mr, Lane went by the ngerous Gustuchal route, found, horribly mutilated, at the {oot of a precipice.

DR. TALMAGE, | —— | THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN. | DAY SERMON, Subject: “The Droves at the Well,” Delivered at Elmira, N, XY, Text: “And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone prom the well's mouth, then we water the sheep,” —Genesis xxix., 8, There are some reasons why it is appro priate that I should accept the invitation to preach at this great juterstate fair, and to these throngs of countrymen and ecitizens— horsemen just come from their fine charg- ory, the king of beasts (for 1 take the crown from the lion and put it on the brow of the horse, which is in every way nobler); and soak to these shepherds just come from their flocks (the Lord Himself in one place called a Shepherd and In another pince ealiod a Lamb, and all the good are sheep); and preach to you cattle-men eome up from the herds, your occupation honored by the fact, that God Himself thinks it worthy of immortal Nord that He owns “the cattieon 8 thousand ills," It is appropriate that I come because 1 Br a far mer's boy, and never saw a city until was nearly grown, and having been born in the country 1 never got over it, and would not dwell in cities a day if my work was not appointed there, My love to you now, and when I get through I will give you my hand, for though I have this summer shaken hands with perhaps forty thousand people in twenty-one { Btates of the Union all the way through to Colorado and North and South I will not conclude my summer vacation till I have shaken hands with you.

It was a memoriable meeting. Jacob married that shepherdess. The Bible account of it ie “Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.” It has always beens a mystery to me what he found to cry about! But before that soene occur red, Jacob accosts the shepherds and asks them why they postpone the slaking of the thirst of theses shosp, and why they did not immediately proceed to water them. The shepherds reply to the effect “We are all good neighbors, and as a mat ter of courtesy we walt until all the sheep of the neighborhood coms up. Besides that, this stone on the well's mouth fs | somewhat heavy, and several of us take hold | of it and push it aside, and then the buckets and the % are filled, and the sh are satisfied, o cannot, until all the flocks be Jatuerst dogither, ant till they roll the stone rom the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.” Oh, this Isa thirsty world! Hot for the bead, and blistering for the feel and parching for the tongue. The worlds ent want is a cool, refreshing, satisfyin raught. Wo wander oy and flod the cistern pty loug and tedious drought has dried up the world's fount ning, but early nineteen centuries ago a Bhepherd, with orook in the shape of a cross, and feet cut to the biseding, ex- plored the desert passages of this world, and woe day came across a well a thousand feet teep, bubbling and bright, and opalescent, und looked to the north, and the south, and the east and the west, and cried out with a voles strong and musical that rang through the age: “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters ™ Now a great flock of sheen today gathered around thie Gospel well, There are a great many thirsty souls. I wonder why the flocks of all nations do pol gather —woy so many stay thirsty; and while I am wonder ing about it, my text breaks forth in the ex- ianation, saying: “We cannot, until all the ocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the weli's mouth; then we water the sheep.” If a herd of swine come to a well they angrily jostle each other for the precedence; if a drove of cattle come toa well, they hook each other back from the water; but when | the flock of sheep come, though a bundred | of them shall be disay ted, they only exoress it by sad bleating, they come to- gether peaceinlly.
