A CASE FOR CHARITY.-During the
forenoon of yesterday, Mr.. VIM. Bumeister
found in HancOck's corrall a China woman
who was fearfully mutilated, and whose body
bore evidence of q most brutal aud fendish
assault and maltreatmeut. It seems this
woman Was married to Chinaman, who,
after taking from her all the little property
che possessed, deserted her. How she came in
her present condition we are not advised, as
she is too near the door of death to give any
information that might lead to the discovery
of the nature of the assault or the detection
of the b-utes who perpetrated this assault.
The China company TO which she belonged
ignored her and pos Itively refused TO care for
her. We understand that application was
made for placing her in the County Hospital,
but she wes refused admission. Mr.. Bu-
meister, with a consideration and kindness
that is most -commendahle, had the creature
removed to a house, and at bis own expense
procured the necessary assistance and care,
and her life has been saved by this disinter-
ssted act We trust that IL is not fact thar
this woman <Fas refused admission TO our hos
pital. We hope so for the sake of humanity.
Suffering, helplessness and misery removes all
distinctions ofcAste and all grades of condi-
ton. 1t is true she was miserable China
woman, perhaps a yagrant, but she
was living human being placed in existence
by the hand of Creator, and held in life by
an Heavenly Father who noteth even the
fall Of sparrow. II may be true that her peo-
pie cast her Of, but they are mere pagans ir-
responsible to- all dictates of higher human
ity, and IN her great extremity with the cold
shadow of impending death gathering around
she called upon a Christian people who
profess to be controlled by charity, the die
tates of humanity and the influences of
divine exhortation and her prayer was denied.
"Verily / say unto you; inasmuch as ye

We trust that,tae report of this creature.
being denied admission, is untrue, and that
she may not be allowed TO perish disgrace
