Reported Massacre ill Corea. And Story »! the Treaty with Tliis Country Which ltd to it. Telegrams received in London a few days ago from the East, stated that the trouble in Corea had culminated in a general insurrection, and that both the King and Queen had been assassinated. The Japeuese Legation was attacked, and Japanese war ships have been sent to the ports of the country. The success of Com modore Shuffeldt in negotiating a commercial treaty between Corea and the United States, encouraged the Japanese to attempt to open the country to commerce with them. This was resented by the anti-foreign party of the country and the insurrc tioa and massacre have been the re sult. Corea is a country were massa cres of terrible magnitude have taken place during the present generation owing to the religious prosecutions caused by the success of missionaries in making converts. China has cer tain suzerain rights in the peninsula, but Russia has made several efforts to obtain control of the northern section. A fanatical hostility to foreigners has always been a characteristic trait of the Coreans. TIIE STORY OF TIIE TREATY. A correspondent who took part in the United States expedition wrote the following account of it:—Projecting from the northest coast of Asia and stretching out to the southward and eastward, between the waters of the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea, is a large pininsula, whose people, after a policy of non-intercourse, which, ac cording to themselves, has lasted for 4,000 years, have to-day opened their gates "to the commerce and civiliza tion of the West. And here, as in Japan, the United States have been the first to overcome the barriers which for so many centuries have kept them a secluded and peculiar people. Few, even of well informed people, know more of this peninsula thau that it is called Corea, and that its interior appears on the maps very similar to the interior of Africa—a great blank. Through the Dutch, who for years had a settlement at Nagasaki, Japan was far better known when Commo dore Perry anchored his ships on her coast and by a display of a happy combination of firmness and tact suc ceeded in forcing upon her reluctant people a civilization of which to-day they cannot get enough. Corea has been literally a "foibidden land." familiarity has bred for its people none of the contempt that familiarity invaribly does breed for the Asiatic in the minds of all foreigners. They are represented as tall and athletic in person with complexions much lighter than those of the Chinese, and as wearing full beards and mustaches. They are said to be haughty aud domineering in their manuer toward strangers, but pourteous and dignified, although somewhat grave, in their intercourse with friends. They are reported as brave and warlike, and even cruel in their dispositions. Their country is described by some as overflowing with plenty, by others as poor and sterile; their mountains as glistening with precious metals, and their King as possessed of fabulous revenues. Men-of-war anchoring or surveying on their coasts have been warned off and fired upon. A peaceful trading ship ascending ope of their r.yers was burned, and her crew murdered. Homan Catholic missionaries alone have effected anything like an entrance into their country, and they and their converts have at intervals fallen sacrifice to their caprice or passions of the rulers. Tc-day the gates of this terra incognita are thrown upon to the United States. It remained for Commodore £»hu felcjt qqtwithstanding his t* r o unsuc cessful visits to Corea, which impress ed him strongly with the fact that the country must soon either be opened peacefully or taken possession of by some one of the great powers, to throw down the remaining barriers and in duce those backward people 10 enter the family of nations. Thoroughly familiar with the methods of Eastern diplomacy and knowing the working of the Celestial mind almost byjintui tion, snd (perhaps above these) endow ed by nature with a commanding peresence and a kindly, courteous manner exactly calculated to impress the always suspicious Oriental with respect aud confidence, he was emi nently fitted for his task. After his return home in tha Ticonderega he went to China, where after some de lay he succeeded in inducing Li Hung Chang, the practical ruler of the Chinese Empire to interest himself in his plan of opening Corea. Prom here copies of the proposed treaties were transmitted to that country. On the Bth of May, 1882, he left Chef >o in the United States steamer Swatara, Commander Cooper, for Corea, anchoring three days afterward in the Salie River, west Coast of Corea, and finding there before him three Chinese and one Japanese man-of-war, one of the former having on board Ma Taotai, who had been appointed by Li Hung Chang as an intermedi al in the negotiation of the treaty. On the 14th two commissioners, appointed by the King, visited the ship, attended by a numerous suite. As they came on board a mandarin's salute of three guns was fired in their honor. The senior of the two com missioners was a yery old man, Shin Chen, president of the royal Cabinet of Corea. .Although, as far as I could see, he was perfectly courteous he ap peared to me as though he did not think much of makiug treaties and as if he might be mentally consigning us all to—any place but Corea. Ilis tottering footsteps, supported by his son at one elbow and grandson at the other, and his long, white beard made him, as he ought to have been, the most conspicicus member of the party. His complexion was much lighter than that of the Chinese and the general expression of his face pleasiug, notwithstanding the look of impatience which often passed over it. He was dressed in a long, flowing, wide sleeved robe of white brocade gauze, with an under robe of pink silk showing through. His hat and belt were his ensignia of office and they were unique. The former was of finely woven horse hair, conical In shape and having eliptieal-shaped wings standing out on each side. The belt was square and stood away out from the body in front and behind. It was made in sections of polished moss agate on a dark blue ground. Ilis manner of saluting as he come on board, and as I afterward found to be the manner among the people, was by raising the hands and bringing them together before the face. The second of the commissioners was very young, only twenty five, anu his round, beardless face was strikingly in con trast to that of his chief. His card pronounced him Chin Hung Tse, Member of the Royal Cabinet. He was short and stout and had a very bright, intelligent face. His dress differed in no respect from that of the old man, except that it was of differ ent colors and that his belt was of red diamond shaped stones on an amber ground. The third in rank of our visitors was the Court Chamberlain, and he was to me the most interesting one of the party. He was a tall, slender, saturnine looking man of about forty, whose perfect non-chalance among so much that must have been new and startling to him would have done him credit in any society in the world. He evinced none of the eager Jcuriosity that rather detracted from the dignity of the others, and with his regular features and olive complexion would either have escaped notice or been taken for a Spaniard had he been dressed by a fashionable tailor and dropped in a New York sa-on. All of the party except the two commissioners were of good height, and with complexions that were as nearly as possible a mean betwe en those of the Caucasian and Mongo lian. Their eyes were of different degrees of obliquity, some being as slanting as those of the Chinese, while others were nearly if not quite straight. Their profiles were much more prom inent than those of the Chinese, some aquiline noses even being observed, never, I believe, found among the Chinese. While the commissioners were in the cabin one of the servants who re mained loitering about outside ad dressed the officer of the deck in pigeon English informing him that he had spent several years in Vladivos tok and that he spoke Russian well. He proved very communicative, answering all of our questions freely and, as I afterward had some reason to believe, falsely. His name, he said, was Mitri. After the reception in the cabin, where the'conversation was carried on in Chinese, several of the Coreans speaking that language fluently, the crew was sent to quarters at the beat of the drum and a short exercise had for their amusement with the eight inch rifle, a blank charge being fired from it. As they left the ship another salute of three guns was fired in their honor. On the day following this visit, per mission having been granted, several of us landed on a small rocky island near the ship from the summit of which we expected to get a good view of the surroundiug country. VVe climbed at once to the top and were amply re warded for our exertions, for the view was one the prettiest imaginable. Six or eight hundred feet below us lay a little Gshing village, whose existence was until now unsuspected by us (as it lay on the opposite side of the islaud from the ship), with a long curving white beach before it, on which thp receeding tide had left three ov tour of their curious looking junks. Beyond and separated from the island by a narrow arm of the river lay the "forbidden country," and forbidding in deed it did look at first glance, with its long yellow hills which seemed to meet in maze in the horizon ; but a closer inspection revealed well trodden paths leading up the valleys, with here and there a clearing, surrounded by fields of waving grain and rice paddies, and near each we could see the straw roofs of the houses gleaming through the surrounding jtrees in the midday sun. On our left was the river, which disappeared in the dis tance behind the hills We tried to pick out the hill from which the forts had fired upon our launches only eleven years before, and to imagine ourselves viewing thit subsequent charge up the hill. Various specula tions were indulged in as to the future in store for Corea, the prevailing opinion seeming to cast a somewhat dark horoscope for the next few years, during which time she will be assailed by men with treaties in their hands ! from c very country on the globe, and I who will say that the men with the treaties will not bring the present generation more of trouble and bumili-' ation than ever llideyoshi with his two sworded men ever brought their ancestors f Maury on Tornadoes. 'Out of the south cometh the whirl wind,' observed Elihu, the Buzite, as he lectured the afflicted Job several thousand years ago, and Mr. T. B. Maury, discussing upon 'Tornadoes and their causes' in the September number of the North American Re view, thinks that this is no less true la lowa than in the land of Uz. TLe hot air of the torrid zone is always as cending, pressed upward by the heavier air from the north and south. This warm upper air finds its level by fi >w ing toward either pole. Tig M s-is. sippi Valley, according to Mr. Maury, is a grand continental highway in sum mer for this anti-tradewind, which moves forward as an upper atmospheric force at a high velocity, and is deflect ed by the slower motion of the earth to the north east. Below this current is the surface vapor laden tradewiod diverted northward from the gulf) In the same pathway lie# the eourso of the polar winds From the Rocky Moun tain plateau, and from the impinging and conflicting of currents arise the terrific aerial disturbances known as cyclones, but more properly called tor* nadoes. It is evident that whatever eddies and disturbances are caused by the contact ol the descending equatorial current with the surface wind moving in substantially the fame direction, the big storms arise w ben the deflected upper air current meets a cold wind moving toward the equator. The re sult is a violent rotary movement of the central vortex, maintained by ex cessive condensation and precipitation of ascending aqueous vapor. The column of gyratory air is like a tall flue containing very rarefied air, the cen trifugal force of the gyrations prevent ing the inflow of air from the sides. Below, however, there is not counter force, and the air rushes into that flue with terrible power, and when its mouth is near the earth houses are un roofed and all movable objects carried up into the rotating column. The funnel-shaped cloud is formed by the condensation of vapor, caused by the meeting of the cold and warm-air cur rents, as well as by the sudden eleva tion into colder regions of the warm air of the surface. This explanation ot tornadoes and their attendant phenomena is simple and satisfactory, even though not en tirely new. Mr. Maury does not feel confident that there can ever be more than brief and local warnings of the coming of a full-fledged tornado. An elevation of ground a little south-west of a town or house would tend to cause a tornado to pass over and be yond, and thus save the place thus located. Underground and storm proof retreats cannot be considered superfluous precautions in regions sub ject to these storms. Mr. Maury does not conceive that the cutting down of the forests has had any influence in producing or increasing the frequency of tornadoes. Their causes are too re mote, their action too tremendous, to be influenced in auy sensible degree by man's puny action upon the earth's surface. — Press. FOR. From the Philadelphia Press.] August is the great month of the year for fogs. They are supposed to be born in the Bay of Fundy. Their paternal ancestors are icebergs from the North Pole. They take after their fathers aod grandfathers in nature, being cold, damp and disagreeable. At a distance they are picturesqe ; they are creatures of surprise ; they lie in ambush, they come pouring over outlying islands like a horde of vandals; they settle upon the sea like a super eminent sea, allowing the masta of schooners to prick through ; suddenly they lift and take flight in a myriad little vanishing clouds, or else, when they are dense one instant they have disappeared the next. One day they hover just outside the offing, tossed into fantastic peaks ami mountains, and the superstitious might almost fancy it was a paradise inviting explor ation. A sudden shift of the wind, and 10, the sun disappears and the trees are tilled with grey moisture and begin to drop from eyery little twig. Fogs are profuse. They hide a landscape for a week at a time. The finer the landscape the more sure they are to spoil it. If an unlucky visitor has only one day for sightseeing they are on hand that one day. even if they had not been nigh for a month. If a land is dried up with drought then the fog drifts in tantalizingly, refuses to condense into rain but mocks the thirsty herbage. It deposits a glis tening dewdrop on the back of the fraudulent potatoe-bug, but the tuber blow is left to question the mysteries of the future. Fog is often used as a mental simile. We say that a man's mind is befogged. A mean lawyer is called a petifogger, doubtless because he is petty and puts other people, his unfor tunate clients, into a fog, that is into such a condition that they are bewil dered aud misled, without being conscious of it. Most men are in this state, some in regard to one thing and some in regard to another. Questions of politics bewilder one set ol men ; others are under a heavy qjoud ol doubts in regard to religious matters ; a large number are befogged finan cially. It is generally a miserable sight to see. In some cases, however, it takes the form of idiosyncrasies which are amusing. There is noth ing so apt to dispel fogs from the mind as a fresh breeze of discussion with some remarkable sensible person. There are those whose words would only make the fog thicker, but a sensible person with tact drives away the vapors as a west wind dispels the fog on the stern New England shore Beautiful skiu, and fair complexion, robust health, and powers of endur ance follow the use of Brown's Iron Bitters.
