The TIES-1sIS MASSACRE. The details
Of the massacre at Tien-tsin China,
which have just been received, show
that twenty-five Europeans and thirty or
forty Chinese children were murdered.
Among the victims were nine sisters Of
charity, who were horribly mutilated.
The internal fixtures and furniture of
eight Protestant churches were torn out
and demolished, and eighteen places Of
worship destroyed. The Europeans
killed. except three Russians, were
French. The Chinese children killed
were pupils attending Christian schools,
and many more Of these would probably
have been murdered had not the parents
of 25O children removed them from the
schools just before the massacre.
Jim Fisk is said to be driving the Pre-
sident to the verge of madness by q
series OF petty prosecutions at Long
Branch. Mr.. Fisk drives his skin hand
furiously past His Excellency on the
beach, filling the Presidential heart with
chagrin, and the Presidential eyes with
dust. And the Prince is said to he in
the habit of holding his nose, rs if he
smelled something, when His Exce]lency
sauntcrs by. This is damnable. It is
said that the head OF tho nation cannot
take quiet promenade without being
treated as if he were night cart by q
Yankee peddler; but, really, we don't
see what we are going to do about it.
Mr.. Fisk's nose is his own, and can any
body blame him for holding his own?
AN ISvULSERADLE CU1RAss. The
Comrier des Elais Uhis gives the follow
ing account of this invention: 1t is
cloth cuirass Of q tissue extremely sup
pie and tight, the stitches of which are
exceedingly close and absolutely i'm
permeablc. The process Of making and
preparing it is mystery, but what
appears to be claimed is that bullets will
not penetrate it; they glance off or fall
harmless. The inventor himself is said
to have stood the test Of this. Clothed in
sort of flannel vest, very light, he re-
celved the charge Of gun without ex-
pericncing SO much rs u bruise. This
belongs to the class important if true. +"
