THE EXEMPTION OF SPANISH VESSELS

The following is an extract of letter FROM Ha-

large number of hogs have been bought

We under

DESTRUCTION OF CHINESE IDoLs.-
The Tribune publishes letter from
Charles Taylor, at Hong Kong. des-
cribing his visit to the Chinese lnsur-
gents. We copy an interesting extract
We win now come to Silver Island,
fifty miles further on. 1t is hill n
sing from the bed of the river, is covered
with rank growth of trees and shrub
bery. and oyerlooks the city of Chin
K-ang-f1, which is only two miles dis
tant. There are many temples on this
island, some of them exceedingly beau
tiful and costly, but the insurgents have
utterly demolished every idol. So graf
gying scene of devastation certainly
never before beheld. Here were gilded
and painted fragments of images strewn
about in every direction, while the clay
and straw of which the larger idols had
been made covered the floors to the
depth of one or two feet. The altars
and tables, incence vases and candle
sticks, Buddhist books, and all the par
aphernalia of idolatrous worship were
broken, torn and scattered here and
there, in irrecoyerable ruin; and this,
too, by the very ones who, not three
years ago. were willing votaries at just
such shrines. The images of stone were
thrown down from their pedestals and
had their heads knocked off. But l
found one about two feet high, in sit
ting posture, richly gilt and very heavy,
whose head had successfully resisted
the hammers of the iconclasts. 1t was
lying with its face on the earth, and
the enraged expression of its features
semed to show strong resentment at
the indignity thus cast upon it. With
the help of two of my boatmen, pole
and rope, I brought away this chap,
and he now sits in sullen silence near
me, while relate the story of his
wrongs. l also brought away many
pieces of wooden gilded idols-heads,
hands, feet, thumbs, fingers, and the
like. This was by the cheerful permis-
sion of the twelve or fifteen priests, who
were all that remained on the island out
of hundred, the majority having fled
IN their boats to the main land, on the
approach of the insurgents. To these
poor, forlorn BONES 1 gave many books
and tracts, besides small sum of mon
ey, for they seemed quite destitute, and
with the aid of Christian native whom
l had brought with me, exhorted them
not to grieve over the destruction of
these senseless blocks, and showed un-
to them ga more excellent way" We
had got them together in an apartment
Of one of the temples for this purpose,
and it was most interesting to observe
the attention with which they seemed
to drink in the good news of salvation
through Jesus Christ.

The SUFFERING SoLDIER.-During
the Revolutionary war, when drafts
were made for the militia to recruit the
continental army, certain captain
gave liberty to the men drafted from his
company to make their objection if they
had any. against going into service, ac-
cordingly one of them, who had an i'm
pediment in his speech, came forward
and made his bow.
What is your objection?' said the
captain.
1 ca-ca-can't CO. answered the
man, Il st-st-stutter'
'Stutter,' said the Captain, you don't
go there to talk, but to fight
tAy, but they'll put me on g-g-
guard, and man may go ha-ha-half
a mile before l can say wh-wh-who
goes there?'
%, this is no objection, for they will
place another sentry with you. He
can challenge and you can fire.
