The Massacre of the French Mission aries
In COreas

The following interesting particulars are eX-
tracted from Toulon letter.
important news has been circulating here on
the subject of events in the China and Japan
seas. The French Government. entirely dlsap-
proving of any attempt of an expedition against
the kingdom OF CCrea, directed Rear-Admiral
RoZe to undertake nothing till further orders,
as the massacre of the French missionaries re-
quired an exemplary chastlsement, which would
be better deferred to a more opportune moment.
Vengeance, though tardy, would only be more
terrible on that account. There was an objection
to engage in hazardous operation before
obtaining full knowledge of the approaches
and resisting power of that mysterious country.
The prudent provisions of the Government are
in some sort confirmed by the last dispatches.
Admiral RoZe having penetrated into the Sea of
Corea, abounding in dangerous shoals, was for
moment compromised, and threatened witn
great disaster; obliged to be continually casting
the lead in the waters, where the tides are sub
ject to variations of some thirty to iorty feet
every twenty-tour hours, he found himself at
last stranded on coral reefs with all his
little houlla, consisting OF the steam cor
vette Plimauguet, and several small gunboats.
catastrophe appeared imminent, when
high tide ioated the vessels, and enabled them
to emerge from their dangerous position. After
| this escape, the French squadron, trusting en-
tIely to the map OF Commander Guerin, as being
| remarkably correct, made way towards the
mouth of a river indicated As one of the prln-
cipal outlets OF the capital of Corea. Ascending
the stream very slowly, they reached, at four
leagues from the month, a large village, where a
| strong body OF armed men were occupied in con-
structing weirs. After some truitless attempts at
conference the Admiral, seeing that his presence
| caused no cessation OF The work, destroyed the
stockade by cannon shot, and fired grape into
! thel hostile corps d Grmee, who took to fight
| in every direction. During this short engage
ment it was remarked that the Corean troops
marched baretooted, and that the greater part
| of the soldiers were armed with bows and
arrows, and carried pixies. The Admiral who
! only intended to make photographed recon
! adissdnce to tacilitateEulterior operations mas
left these inhospltable shores to join his main
squadron in the China Seas.

The MASSACHUSETTS LIQUOR LAW.

The PrOprietOrs OF the Principal Hotels
In Boston Indicted for Violating the
Liquor Law-They are Fined $50 Each,
and Sentenced to the House Of COrrec-
tiOn for Three MOnths-The Tempe
rance Alliance, Etc.
BosToN, December 27.-The proprietors of the
largest and most popular hotels were before the
Municipal Court to-day, to answer to complaints
alleging tnat they individually maintain liquor
nulsanCes, which is contrary to the laws of the
State. The Parker House was represented by
Harvey d. Parker, YOung's Hotel by George
Young, aud the Revere and fremont Houses by
William Brigham.
They pleaded guilty, and were each fined $50
and costs, sentenced to three months i'm
prsonment in the House of Correction, and
ordered to give bonds in the sum of $1,000 not to
violate the liquor law for the period of twelve
months. They appealed, as Is usual in such
cases. and each went security for the appear.
anCe of the other before the Superior Court in
the sum OF $500 each.
They boIe themselves with great fOrtitude, con-
Steering the awful and trying circumstances
under which they were placed. There was quite
q crowd in the court at the time, and much
joking was INDUCED i'll at the expense of the
worthy hotel propIietOrs. The warrants OF ar
rest were issued by request of the counsel for
the smaller liquor dealers, who have been pro-
secuted by the State constabulary.
The Massachusetts State TEN perance Alliance
has pledged $4,000 TO the National Temperance
Society at New York, towards paying its current
expenses during the coming year. This money
is to be raised among the various temperance
men, without interfering with the work in the
State. Already several hundred dollars have
been subscrbed.-N. Y. Herald.

POLITICAL.
Mr.. BOUTWELL, on REORGANIZATION.

Mr.. Boutwell, on Reconstruction.
Boston, December 2S.- Ex-Governor Boutwell,
delivered lecture in this city last evening upon
the subject of 'The Restoration of the Union
ana its Relation to Business" In the outset he
stated that the restoration of the Union was
most important to the business community, and
should be carefully considered by them. He
then clearly defined what was meant by imme;
diate restoration which many urged impatieutly
il meant the return to power of men who had
beon Rebels, and who were Rebels, men who
unquestlonably seek the destruction of the Gov
ernment. After showing by figures that slavery
had tended to prevent the growth of the popu
lation of the South and the development of 10
resources, he discussed the various plans
offered for reconstruction He condemns the
Presidents pl an, and that which suggested only
the adoption of the Constitutional amendment,
as simply restoration of power to the Rebels
and return to the ancient order of things. The
plan proposed by many of admitting the States
when they should adopt the amendment, and
also a system of impartial restricted suffrage on
a basis of education or property, was also OBJ
jected to, as it would give to the Rebels motives
to keep from the colored population education,
and thus push them from the ballot-box. The
only plan that would be just, he held, was the
adoption Of the amendment, in addition to a
law of universal suffrage

BIIghted Hopes.

From Berlin Correspondent.
A few days ago young lady whose bride
groom had fallen at Sadowa committed suicide
in violent fit of melancholy. The unfortunate
gul had been confined to private hospital, and
was seeming so far recovered that her dismissal
from the establishment was to take place in a
few days. At visit of her father the physician
encouraged him to hope for the best, at the
same time expressing a wish that the patient
should, for her recreation, have intercourse
with his own daughters, and being a very skill
ful pianist, should play with them four-handed
sonatas. This offer was gratefully accepted
and Immediately made use of.
hle the father was still in the physicians
room, discoursing with him on the probable
daY of his daughters dismissal from the estab-
lishment, the patient was sitting with the young
ladies'at the piano, exquisitely playing sonato
by Beethoven. Suddenly she started up, and,
on the pretext of finding the room too hot, she
opened a window.
The very next moment, and ere anybody could
suspect her design, she precIpitated herself
through the window into the courtyard below
where the Immediately found the death she had
sought. The cries of horror that burst from the
horriied young ladies brought the physician
and the unhappy fgther to the spot aud the lat
ter had the grief Of hnding the daughter he had
just left in a state of cOnvalescence a llfeIess,
bloody corpse.

Another Inventor In Want.

days, no fire for a fortnight, and having sup
ported existence for year by pawning clothes;
his furniture seized for rent, and he himself ex-
pectins every moment to be arrested for Queens
taxes. The sufferer was seventy years of age,

tion in 1920 of the tubular boiler is we'll known
to have caused the entire success of the railway
system, as well as leading to important modif-
cations in marine and other boilers. patent
for superheated high-pressure steam is amongst
his more recent Inventions to secure which he
has paid the Patent Office in the last twenty
years the sum of $4,000. small sum for imme-

mittee OF gentlemen met at the Office OF Messrs
Greenwood & Co., No. SO Cannon Street, to raise
a sum for the relief of the old man, who is very
