Twenty Thousand Chinese Coolies In Peru.
The Number increasing.

A Callao PERU correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, states that there are 20
600 Chinese slaves now in Peru, and the de-
mand continues. A cargo of these Coolies
(the last previoas TO the date of the letter.
was landed in May, and they sold for $400
each-the term of servitude being eight
years, the wages 81 q month, two suits
of clothes in a year, and two pounds of
rice per day. II costs the trader about $35
to land Chinaman on the Peruvian coast
and as he is pretty certain of getting 5000 to
S400 for him, the profits are enormous. The
Cinnamon are induced to emigrate by small
sum of money, fortune in their eyes; for
man is the cheapest production of the Celes-
tial Empire, and labor worth but little to him
there. To this small sum of money the agent
adds q judicious mixture of extravagant
promises for the future in the new land
How many of these promises are fulfilled
may be inferred from the number of China
men who commit suicide.
man who lived at the Chincha Island a
few years ago, cited an instance of seventeen
Of these unfortunates hanging themselves in
one night, in the same room. There is often
great mortality among the Coolies OH the
passage. A vessel which arrived Just before
the one mentioned above, lost all but eighty
out of 300. On the plantation five Cinnamon
will do the same work as was done formerly
by two negroes. The Chinese are great
runaways and as there is no law TO protect
the land-holder in his property in them, they
are regarded rs a poor substitute for slave
labor. AS every Chinaman is like another,
it is extremely difficult TO identify them when
they run away, and, to aid them in this par
ticular, some of the planters have daguerreo-
types of all their coolies

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN LONDON - A
CHURCH CHOIR BRuTkLLY AssAULTED.--A
scene was enacted lately in London, which
if it had taken place in one of the border
Territories of this country, would have fur
nished the London papers with food for edi-
torial comment in condemnation of the
ruffianly brutality of the people of the United
States. 1t was on Sabbath evening, at the
close of the services at the church of st.
George 's-in-the-Ea that a portion of the
congregation suddenly rushed from the
church, and with oaths and threats pursued
the members of the choir, who in vain at
tempted to escape from their brutal fury.
The crowd, with boots and Kisses, followed
the fugtives, who were at last hemmed in
by vast mob in narrow street of the me-
tropolis They took refuge in a house, but
the proprietor was obliged to send them out
again, for fear of the destruction of his
premises. The police in vain interfered, and
| the troubling singers were pulled and hauled
in every direction, and severely nialtreated
AT last, by the interference Of some infuen.
tial peisonages, aided also by the Govern
ment officials, the objects of popular fury
were placed in -cabs and thus escaped. A
| minister of the same church had a narrow
escape from a similar mob a few evening,

SpURGEoN's OPINION OF NAPOLEON. THE
Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon writes from Baden-B Baden
to the British Standard. Describing the late
interview between the Emperor Napoleon
and the German Princes, he stops to express

Emperor might be seen early in the morning

walking stick, and looking more decrepid
than his,age might justify. 1t is a theme fol
great gratitude that he is not young man
and that, be his ambition what it may, hs
has no great time before him in which to

, LIaHrStNG tTRouBLIse A YoUSG CouPLE.
A few days since, during q thunderstorm, a
stroke of lightning passed down the con-
ductor attached to the residence of John B.
Briggs in Preble, n. T., and through the
ground into the cellar, where Miss Lois
Hurlburt and Mr.. Charles Fox were engaged
In skinming and straining milk. The fluid
struck Miss Hurlbnrt ON the side, tearing her
apron into shreds, passing through her dress
and under her clothes-melting one of her
hoops-to her hip thence down her leg,
tearing her stockings ON one side in places
from one-half to one inch apart, until IL
reached the heel, when it entirely destroyed
that portion of her hose, and rent her shoe
into numberless pieces. Strange to say, the
lady escaped with comparatively little in
jury. She was, of course, rendered senseless,
but only fora short time. The only percep-
tible effect, she says, is black line down the
limb, and a slight lameness. Young Fox,
standing about ten feet from Miss Hurlburt,
was, he thinks, hit by ball Of FIRE on the
hiP.on the opposite side from where Miss
Hurlhurt was standing he was knocked
down, but recovered in a very short time.

A Mysterious Murder in England.

A most mysterious murder has lately oc-
cupied public attention in England. A fac
tory inspector, living near Frome, in Som
ersetshire, one morning missed his youngest
child, a boy of about four years of age, from
the cot in the nurse's-room, where he usually
slept, and, after tedious search, found his
body thrust down the vault of an clubhouse,
with the throat cut from ear to ear, and q
large stab in the region of the heart, evidently
inflicted after death. The mystery envelop-
ing the whole affair battles even the famous
detectives of London. This may be better
appreciated when it is known that in one of
the bedrooms slept the nursemaid, and in the
same room the deceased in little cot and in
another part of the room another child in a
second cot. At i've o'clock the next morn
ing the nurse awoke, and missed the de-

still remained ON the bed and pillow, but the
