In our Tuesday's, article on Laboulaye we omitted to explain a phrase therein occur ring, but whose meaning may need some fur ther amplification before it can become clear outside of France : the allusion was. to the noise made In the world by Laboulaye's Ink stand. It is a little &amain action, to'which the irteco - ncilables have given a ridiculous moral. Four years ago M. Laboulaye presented himself as candidate for Deputy in the De partment of Lower. Rhine; be failed, but his partisans, to console his defeat, presented him with a handsonie silver inkstand. The presentatlon_was made by_Jules Ferry, since Deputy, and M. Lafout, who is the com mercial editor of the Temps. It is Lafont who tells us every day, if Tallows are . "firm," tildliakftia" , 'ntlier' literary or political to consideration. /le seems to be a pleasant man, but is ocaasiOnally very' fantastic, as may be imagin9d from . his going down to see, M Laboulaye and demanding the restitution 'of the inkstand, since he voted, and counselled others to vote, yes on the plebiscitum, thus be coming one ofthe supports of tyranny." Of course M. Laboulaye refused ; it seems he was good enough not to put Lafont out at the door. But the ; brilliant editor of _the Tempes commercial article was not satisfied.. Hesum moned, it is said, Laboulaye by constable, to have the inkstand delivered up, under penalty of paying fifty francs for each day's delay. , lay e's acceptance of the 3liniStty of Public:ln struction is the greattrouble of the opposition. They forget that he has a son who has been for fifteen years attached to the Embassy. at Constantinople, and that the latter's W nomina tion al signed by gbunt Daru. TOE INDIAN TRAGEDY AT FORT DODGE A Philadelphian _One ..of the Itletl,4 A — letter f. vat Fort Dodge to the Boston 'TinteB says Three men named Andrew Tolliver, Joseph Cassidy and Reason Reagan, were killed by hostile Indians at Mulberry Creek, Kansas, about twelve mile§ southeast from Fort I/odge, on the ltitlf`ult.

The earth' sods, being ' thoroughly dtiedovere asintiamnaablkas;wat. . .

He states 'that Cassidy was - surprised at nightfall, -spout' two 'hundred, y-rds from the hut; shot froth behind and scalped. Ile was found ,to, have sustained three wound - s—two by bul lets and one by an arrow. . ' • The other men inniaediatCli baiticaded their doer and awaited An - atsault. The Indians succeeded in tiring the adobe. building_ from. without, cleared the dirt from the roof, and shot then' from above. „It Is Obi kndwn whether the Indians sustained any loss. Neither was scalped nor mutilated, the ap proaCh of a detachment of soldiers probably deterring them. . When found the remains were partially; burned by the tire: One of , them had a rope about his neck, and had evidently been stran gled. Two slips of paper were also found bearing the inscriptions, " We won't be taken alive"! "My mother and sister live at No. 1212 Bedford street, Philadelphia." A Colored llan's Influence.

This note—which is obviously a mere trade advertisement, resorted to with a view of impessingitipork the public that BlaelrwoOd'alliagazine, by reason of - its brilliant review of Mr:Disraeli% book, has attained to the unwonted honor;of a second edition—is marked withal' the coarseness, flip pancy arid seurrility of •theoriginal article. In this new ,fight the bad taste, the :vulgarity, ingratitude and blasphemy - or this ill-favored production become doubly conspicuous. - The writer has not a single word to offer in ex tenuation of his offence, but to repeat, in a dull, maundering kind of way, some of . the_ epithets_with which-he:has been-chastised by the almost unanimous, press. of this country, and to reiterate that ," Lothair"--f is apt Ihich he bad described.

The London Illustrated News has the folio*. ing The venerable Abbey Church of St. Peter, at Westminster, has lately received the mortal body of another English worthy. There is a place here allotted by traditional.custom to the burial, or, at least, to the obituary record, of men whose literary . genius, has adofued this nation. The extremity of the south' transept has for ages past been called the "Poets' ;Corner." Here is the tomb .of ,Geoilry, Chau cer, "the Father of English Poetry," who was also a man of official business,. Clerk of the Works in the precincts of the King's pal ace at Westminster, including, the Abbey. He died in October, 1400, at his house, close by, which stood on the site of Henry Vll.'s chapel. The first English...printer, Caxton; whq set upline types•and wdrked his press in a chapel of the Abbey, caused a simple tablet, , with a couplet of Latin verse written by a' scholar of Milan, to .be placed above his friend ChauCer's grave. A century and a half later, in 1556, Mr. Nicholas Brigham, "in the name of the Muses," erected the well4cnown monument of grey marble, witlya full-length statue of Chaucer, copying the head, the costume, and the atti tude from Occleve's contemporary portrait. That was the beginning of Poets' Corner. Now, only last week, br order of Dean Stan ley, and threugh the, diligence of Chaucer's successor in office, Mr. Christopher Foster, Clerk of the Works in the Abbey, the grave of Charles Dickens was made here in the mid dle of the floor, within arew steps of old Chau cer's. . The elaborate monument of the Duke of Argyll. in t George .11.'s time—Jeattie Deaus's good Duke, in " The Heartgof Midlothian " rises opposite,with its four fine statues, repre senting the virtues and talents of that patri otic Scottish 'nobleman. The monuments of oldsmith and Gay, with their medallion por traits, and with he inscriptions composed in the former instance by Dr. Johnson, and in the latter case by Pope, are to the left. To the right is the graceful statue of Addison, upon cylindricarpedestal of white marble; but his actual place of interment is in another part of the A bbey. The monument of Handel, who lies buried under the pavement next Dickens, is placed high on the wall, above that of the Ladies Lechmere ; his figure, in an attitude of inspiration, stands in front of an organ, hold ing an opened .scroll of music. The bust of Thackeray is near Addison's statue. The best place for a bust of Dickens is on the other , side of the arch - or near the Lechmere monu ment, and between that and the monument of the Atkins family t which fills the next arch. It would be •a, suitable companion to the bust of Thackeray. The grave of. Dickens' is - adjacent to those of - Handel, Sheri dan, and Cumberland thb .dramatist, whose names occupy, With_those of Henderson, the. actor, David Garrick, Samuel Johnson, and General Sir A. Campbell, the eight flat tomb stones in front of the door leading to St. Faith's Chapel: These tombstones are ranged in four pairs. The graves of Dickens and Cumberland form one pair; and they lie immediately epee site the well-known cenotaph of Shakespeare, which stands against the wall,with the monu ments of Nicholas Rowe, James Thomson, Matthew Prior, Southey, and Thomas Camp bell; these confronting those of Adiftison, Mackenzie,--and Handel, and the bust of Thackeray. The monuments of Chaucer, Spenser, Ben Jenson. Abraham Cowley Dryden, Barton Booth the tragedian, and Thomasa Gray, are placed somewhat apart, in the corner by the western door through which the Abbey is en tered. from Old Palace-yard. This is, no douht, the ancient and original "Poets' Cor-, ner:" but that name has latterly bean ex tended, as we now see, to the whole breadth of the south transept.'Among ths ,other per sons liiterred in this part 'of the Abbey are Dr. Barrow and Dr. South, thw;eminent divines; Dr._ Husby, master :of .Westrninster 'School ; Queen Anne .Neville_, wife of _Richard Chiflinch, page to Charles II:; Macpherson, translator or inventor of 0,951aII; La4ySteele ,Wife — Of Sir pollard ; several Prebendaries, and the latk Dean Ireland. • SPAIN AISID-ISJEAVERV. Iwexete tpretshonlh ae r tei.-tienor Castetrepeeeh. • Senor Caftan. delliered his promised 'dis course in favor of the abolition 'of slavery froni •theist otiTatruaryi 1871. As usual, the first orator of the Chamber expressed himself with the nerve and energy which distingpsh him. His speech 'was filled with submti thoughts, and carried with it the elo quence of indisputable logic. He first' depleted, in all its luirrors,.slavery as it exists. At every sentence' the eid [ tire Chainber broke but in applause. He was [ listened;to attentively and earnestly for two [ hours. - Benor - Castelarbas studied - -the - qtiesw lion of slavery in all itsphases. _ He maintains_ ['that slavery is an attack-upon the - rights - of humanity. A man cannot, must not, be the property of_ another Man. The Coteenission and the Goirernment wish to have a gradual abolitiOn. He said : __‘f[This_svitemis lull _of dangers,lor-it - will - proVoke ineurreetiona. , We ought to imitate the French Convention , which abolished slavery, re-established by Napoleon 1., and again abolished by the Revolution of' 1848.

The shark which follows his sbip,withits odors of human flesh, has moreheart, more conscience -.than he' has. He makes of his ship a horrible floating dungeon, crowded with men.

But Jefferson traced the line upon which the black wave of slavery would,break. The partisans of slavery became so powerful that they attempted to cross-this line, when the:navigator of the Ohio and Mississippi, the'rhil-splitter, of the West, mounted the capitol at 'Washington to burst the Chains of three millions of slaves: And, thotnothing might be wanting to his halo of he'died like Socrates, like Christ, like all teohienieni---at tlie foot of his great work, upon which humanity will always Shed tears of rejoicing, andjOod bestow His, benedietiOns."- A triple round of applause here prevented Senor Castelar from continuing. After ten minutes' intermission Senor Castelar exam ined the abolition of slavery in the - Republics of Central and Southern America, all of which, resorted to the initnediate and not the system of abolitioti. The orator labors to prove that niodern slavery is far more odious than that which existedunder - the Vomatia; • "There are priests in this Chamber-And lasi to them : GlOci, - who abased 'Himself to take the; -human form for our redemption; the hands, which carved a world from chaos. and whielt were pierced with nails; Hie lips - which gave the breath of life were frozen lit death; He who condensed this waters sufferedlwith thirst; He Who lighted up the sun was cold ; His agony could not move the hearts of tyrants; sublime Vork--this death for man. But this admirable work Is useless for men who vegetate on the earth in a state of slavery. Slaves, rise and live in the name of Christ, and you, their mas ters, stand back or tremble before the justice' of Heaven. Break the chains of theae slaves, gentlemen. The nineteenth century., will be the; noblest of all if it sees the mederaption of its slaves," The orator received the congratulations of the entire Chamber, and, the session was sus pended for twenty ininutes.—Cdr. N. Y Times. NOWS An Imposing Ceremony—The Pope in Favorite Dogma. A correspondeut writing from Rome on June 17, says: Yesterday the Pope carried the Holy Sacra inent round the Piazza, of St. Peter. The pro cession included the - Fathers of the Council, and was thus the most imposing that has been been in Rome by the present generation. The ceremony attracted an immense concourse of spectators, and the Infanta of Portugal, _the corps diplomatique, and a number of distin guished personages witnessed it from the bal cony of the cathedral. This morning the Holy Father entered the 25th year of his reign. On the 23d of August, 1871, if he survives to that date, his pontificate will have endured longer than St.,.P . eter's, and will falsify the famous prophecy, "Non videbis annos Petri." His Holiness has, visited the church - of San L orenzo fuori-le-inure, to inspect the frescoes of Fracassini, whom death snatched from the world at the early age of twenty-eight. The Pope, who possesses an artist's instinct, . pressed .a warm admiration of these noble works. From - the church the Holy Father; proceeded to the cemetery, to inaugurate the monument erected to' the memory .of the Pontifical sol diers who fell at Mentana. The memorial represents kt. Peter presenting a sword to a kneeling warrior, who bears a flag inscribed with the words, "Orbis Catholieus."

IHE HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IR PEKIN The Scene of the Massacre. • The Pek tang, as the ecclesiastical Missidn under French protection is termed, lies in the northwest corner of the city walls. The his tory of this spot of ground - has been perhaps as eventful as that of any foreign location in the Far East, The original site was granted to the French Jeguit missionaries who .first visited China, by the Emperor Katighi—the' Augustus of Chinese literature—and they suc cessfully held it for some years. At length a violent persecution against the Christiansbroke out, the Mission buildings were razed , to the ground, and the priests were proscribed and put to death. At the close of the war, in 1860, its restoration was made a 'special subject of treaty negotiation, and a handsome church (the tower of which was'restricted to a height of 60 feet, lest it should overlook the_imperial 'Womb dormitories, and schools, were erected G_o by the French _ver .ment._ln_l2,64_these were, however, destroyed by fire, a valuable "museum, founded and filled by the naturalist David, alone escaping the devouring element. Again did fresh buildings arise from the ashes et their predecessors, the members of the - Chinese Foreign Beard assisting the foreign ministers in laying the foundation• Stones. And now these, too, have shared the fate of their 'predecessors. The Russian Church was situated between the' United States and British Legations, and has long been a conspicuous object from the-walls of Pekin. Of unpretending architecture, the cross, with which it was . surmounted, was plainly visible above the low root of the sur rounding native building's. • The telegram does not inform us whether it was also destroyed, but the mention of several Russians being killed would lead to.the_ inferenee that. their -- Legation, - Within the precincts of which the church stands, had been also made a subject of attack: - • TILE BRITISH "114194IrEBABERIL" Lord Arthur Clinton's Life, Career and Death.

The Spanish journals continue to comment in severe terms of reproach on the, policy of De Bodes and the'volunteers in Cuba. El E. t' ,do U«talan, a journal published in Barcelona, lately commented on the fate of Goicouria, whom it painted as a lifetime enemy of Spain and a pirate, as a proof of its representations of the ferocious character of the warfare which is desolating the Island of, Cuba._ It adds: Let our readerstlx their thoughts upon this old man who is.fieein4 the island, and who of fors no resistance to his captors ; let them look at that council of war which condemns him to death by the garote ; at this man who makes no defence, and asks only that he may die ; then look upon that people, who rejoice at the sight of a captured political enemy ; at that society, which obliges an honorable man to put on vestments befitting. only criminals.
