Massacre Of Bishops and Priests.
From the Hong Kong Mail, July %.

from vic lAOuB ihobS OuiJ 90
There has been no lack of news, both poll
teal and social, to afford material for after
noon gossip during the week-the massacre
of two French Bishops, and seven Priests, in
Corea, general persecution of the Christians
in that out of the way corner OF the world
having been inaugurated by order of the faith
er of the youthful Prince who, nominally I'M
der China, exercises the functions of king.
The unfortunate gentlemen were, it is stated,
first cruelty tortured and then beheaded.
One comfort is that the French will probably
exact heavy penalty for this little piece Of
amusement on the part ofth Coreans, though
doubtless section of the community will
feel horribly annoyed at the idea of the French
going to war with poor unoffending nation
because she has an sidea", that her priests
should not be massacred Would that de-
putation of peacemongers would wait on the
French Emperor to urge clemency, aud be
served in the way certain ambassadors We're
of old For any treatment short of crucfixion
Great Britain would surely demand no re-
dress. What, however, is England going to
do? Is France to be permitted to occupy
and then annex Corea, or are we to have
finger in the pie? If the saying that zone
good turn deserves another has any weight
with us, we must aid in teaching the top
knotted savages that the conquerors of Pekin
are yet alive and as dangerous as ever-that
the foreign Ministers in Pekin are not las they
are carefully intormed) tribute bearers, and
that the torture of few Bishops more or less,
however nnimportant in Corean eyes, has a
certain amount of importance attached to it
in The councils OF the West-no matter what
their nationality.

Charles La nab and His slater.

The following passages are from the Mem
Dir of Charles Lamb by his friend, Barry
Cornwall
1.-THE fact that distinguished Charles Lamb
from other men was his entire devotion to one
grand and tender purpose. There is, prob
ably, romance involved in every life. In
his life it exceeded that of Others In CRAWL
ty, in acuteness, in his noble battle with a
great calmitY, it was beyond the rest. Nei-
thor pleasure nor toll ever distracted him from
his holy purpose. Everything was made sub
servient to it. He had an insane sister who
IN a moment of uncomfortable madness, had
uneonsiously destroyed her own mother; and
to protect and save this sister-gente woman
who had watched like mother over his own
lntancy-the whole length of his life was
devoted, What he endured, through the
space OF nearly forty years, from the incess-
ant fear and frequent recurrence Of his sister S
insanity, can now only be conjectured. In
this constant and accomplishing endurance,
and 10 his steady adherence to a great princi-
pie Of conduct, his life was heroic
No words could do Justice to the depth.
purity and holiness of brotherly affection
which could make such sacrifices as these. for
history hardly furnishes parallel to it. Of
the fearful tragedy itself to- which allusion is
here made, we have the following account:
MARY Lamb had previously been repeat
eddy attacked by the same dreadful disorder ;
and this now broke out afresh in sudden
burst of acute madness. She had been moody
and i'll for some little time previously, and the
illness came to a crisis on the 23d OF Septem-
Der, 1896. On that day, just before dinner,
Mary seized case knife which was lying
on the table, pursued little girl cher appren-
tlcel round the room, hurled about the dinner
forks, and finally, in fit of uncomfortable
frenzy, stabbed her mother to the heart
Charles was at hand only in time to snatch the
knife out Of her grasp, before further hurt
could be done, He found his father wounded
IN the forehead BY one of the forks, and his
aunt lying iEsenslble, and apparently dying,
on the tooi of the ROOM" Tsdf.l
And it would be impossible to conceive OF
more touching picture than that sketchsd

cured-making in all $3.50, 1853. This news is
confirmed this morning, and the two prisoners
taken subsequently to those brought to
SteUbenville were conveyed across the
county last night, and deposited for safe
keeping in the Cadiz jail. There Is no
doubt but that the party who robbed the Cadiz
Bank are the same that made the attempt
on the Wellsburg Bank Smith took from one
of them a magnifying glass; used in detecting
counterfeit bills, which, from description, one
of the party had offered to sell TO Mr.. Jacobs,
the Cashier of the Wellsburg Bank previous to
the attempt TO rob that institution. The pri-
soners here are very reticent-have but little TO
communicate that will lead to their identity
give no names-say they have respectable con-
nections, and have no disposition to bring any
OF them into reproach by their disreputable acts.
The prisoner shot in the arm, desperate char
ac'er, is seriously wounded-the arm being shat
tered by pistol shot at the elbow, and physi.
clans say this morning that to save his life it
Will be necessary to amputate the arm above
the elbow. The other prisoners wound is but
slight one--a ball from pistol passed across his
fingers. laCerating them, but breaking no bones.
The Jefferson county Jail was strongly guarded
last night, and general desire pervades this
community that the money may not only be all
secured, but that the daring villains be brought
to that punishment the character of their crime
so justly merits.

ther Developments.

1t is believed that the full amount of the for.
geries of John Ross, the Wall street broker an
account OF which appeared in the Tribune OF
yesterday, will amount to about $400000 The
loss OF David Groesbeck d. Co., of No. 30 Broad
street, is now claimed by the firm to be only
$4,000, they having loaned that amount to Ross
ON the spurious Michigan Central Railroad
bonds. Otherwise the account which appeared
in the tribune was substantially correct.
The losses, so far as ascertained, are as fol-
lows:-David Groesbeck & Co., SIS, 900: Cronise
* Co., $63,6G2; Black & Spaulding, S63, l25; the
Union Bank, $120,OOO; the Continental Bank
100000; total, S365.7S7. The twenty bonds of
the Michigan Central Railroad Company held
by Groesbeck Co., which we're left by Ross as
security tor the repayment of money loaned by
them 10 him, are not positively known to have
been forged, although it is believed that such is
the case. The Union Bank also holds twenty of
the same description OF bonds these too having
been deposited byRoss.
1t is not known that any other bank or firm
besides the above have been victimized; and in
any case 1t is believed that the entire amount
cannot exceed 100000.
The strangest phase of the whole affair is the
TACT that OF all those who trusted Ross to such an
unlimited amount, not a single person knew
him intimately, or bad the most distant idea
what were his resources. He operated heavily
paid the demands on him Just long enough to let
his name be well known upon the street and
then, having victimized all his leading business
associates, decamped with the proceeds.
1t is believed that Ross has had this object
steadly in view since June last, when he first made
his appearance upon the street, and to carry out
his scheme successfully employed one or more
contederates.
The detectives are buslly engaged upon the
case, but decline to give any Information =
