TERRIBLE MAsshcBE OF FRENCH CITIZENS

TERRIBLE MASSACRE OF FRENCH CITIZENS
AT PEKIN, CHINA.-Advices from Pekin
give particulars of a fearful butchery of
French residents in that city by mob of
Chinese on the 21st OF June. An organized
mob, imbued with an ntoerable hatred of
foreigners, aud especially of the French res
idents, in great mass appeared in the quar-
ter inhabited by the latter, aud Immediately
commenced beating and maltreatng all the
Frenchmen whom they encountered
They, however, met with some resistance
Inflamed with fury the Chinese procured all
manner of weapons and began a dreadful
massacre of the French. -
They entered many houses, maltreating
the Inmates and dragging them forth into
the streets, where they were beaten with
stones and bludgeons and stabbed with
knives.
Many were killed or will die from the
injuries received. Some of the Chinese used
firearms. The residence of the French Con-
sui were broken into and himself and the
Secretary of the French legation were bru-
tally massacred.
Some of the attaches were wounded.
The rabbie also killed several Sisters of
Mercy and number of priests, all foreign
ers. many French.
They also beat to death several Russians.
All the French people ovetaken were killed
or shockingly MANNED. In fact the rage of
Cinnamon appeared to be directly expended
upon this class of foreigners.
Not content with their fendish work
they repaired to the Roman Catholic Cathe-
dral and drove forth the worshippers. took
possession, and after sacking it, set fire to it..
1t was totally destroyed.

GES GRANT met with perfect Waterloo
defeat in the Radical Senate of the United
States on. tee last day of June, and although
during his military career in suppressng the
rebellion he and men who were greater. but
not So conspicuous as himself, played a
prominent part in subdu duing the civil war
and although he was rewarded for his mill
tary services by an election to the highest
Office in the gift of the American people,
there are still some things that he cannot do.
The shameful treaty for the annexation of
Sau Domingo was. on the day stated, defeat
ed, by overwhelming vote. For months
previous Grant had been engineering this
corrupt project, and bad done what no other
President ever did before. He became a
lobbyist in the Senate committee rooms in
favor Of the ratification of the treaty. He
used the executive patronage to induce Sen
ators to vote the treaty through the Senate,
and in the case of that notoriously corrupt
man, Simon Cameron, he was easily success
full, by appointing his (Camcron'sJ son-in-
law Minister to Constantinopie. The result
Of all his efforts in favor of his favorite pro
ject, has been an inglorious defeat at the
hands of his own political friends. In the
history of all previous administrations, was
ever President treated with such open con-
tempt by the very men who assisted in
placing him in power

several abortive attempts in this direction

GRANT IN THE SUNLIGHT. Tho N :
Sun referring to Grants St. Domingo job SAYS:
Sin secrecy and to foreign State the
President has pledged his word to coerce as
best he may the representatives of the peo-
pie whose servant he is. In secrecy and to
foreign State he has pledged himself to
make no communication to Congress con-
corning public measure of the highest i'm
portance until satisfied that the measure will
be successful. The people cannot forget
these things. They are SO many blows
struck at the integrity and even the exist
ence of free government and republican in
stitutions, and blows of such character
that free nation cannot survive many of
them. The terrible devastations of war were
Dot more dangerous to us as people than
is the spirit manifested in these acts of the
administration and it is sad to think that
ne who did SO much to free us from the evils
of war should so soon bring upon us these
dark forebod;ngs Of deeper i'll.

A SAD SToRY.-The Scranton Republi-
can tells a.mournful story of casualty on
the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad
lately. A Mrs. Gayen with three children,
two little boys aged Ave and seven years and
babe, was at the depot at Pittston to take
train. She put the two little boys in a
car and then returned to the station for her
babe. Meanwhile the train started. The
station-master signaled the condu ctor to stop,
and the little boys screamed at being carried
away from their mother. But it seems that
the train neither stopped nor was any care
taken of the children. The mother tele-
graphed to put them off at Scranton. Moth
ing further is known of them until they were
found on the railway track about 2 O'clock
the next morning-the youngest one killed
and the other lying insensible, with his arra
cut off close to the shoulder. The poor little
wanderers had been run down by a train in
a deep cut; but how or why they were put
off the traip no one knows. We have rarely
read more distressing story

ANOTHER ENGLISH HoRROR.-The Tx
bridge massacre is succeeded 10y the revela-
tion Of series Of murders which throw all
atrocity far into tie shade. The London
correspondent of the World gives an account
of ''baby farmer" who has succeeded iD
numbering forty infants whom cunfiding
mothers bad entrusted to her charge This
fiend is woman named Waters, with mapy
an alias. living in the suburbs Of London
Her numerous pseudouyms were necessary

were to advertise, under one name or auoth
er, her readiness 10 adopt an infant on pay
ment of a premium of FIVE pounds. Her
style of advertising was very affectionate.-
She was very fond of children - and prom
ised to do all in her power ''to secure the
happiness of the little one" She wanted a
child cas- young as possible . so that it would
know none but herself aud husband cas- It's

calculated to ''make a child happy" It may
readily be imagined that there were many
mothers in London willing enough TO dis
pose of their children on such easy terms. In
this way Mrs. Waters got possession of no
less than forty children, all of whom she
cruelty murdered She did not long keep
the babes uuder her loving care, but as fast
as one was disposed of, advertised under a
new name for another Ir this way she

EFor the Cambria Freemnn.l

Mr.. EDIToR-Withuut suge eesting, much
less debating the name Of any person a.
fit candidate for Assembly, | desire to say a
few words in reference To that important
question. | am a northern man, but not
one with southern principles, as understood
and claimed by the leaders Of the removal
project do not propose to enter into a
discussion of that contemplated outrage fur
ther than merely to say that the candidate.
whether be may prove to be resident Of the
northern, middle, or southern portion Of the
county, must be man who, on the reno
val issue. is "pure and beyond reproach. !"
That be auiU be 50 do not entertain shad-
oW of doubt, if the Democrats of the several
election districts will see to il that no man
who is Lot honest and competent. and who
is not icent fed or IN any way connected
with what are known as political Rings, -
is sent as a delegate to the conveut ton.
There is another subject. however, of
great public concern, and one in which the
Democratic party Of the State generally and
the Democratic party of Cambria county
especially, is deeply interested. I refer to
the Gppo1'tioRnlent of the State into Senatori-
al and Representative districts, which must
be done under the constitution by the Leg
islature to be elected on the second Tuesday
of next October. This business is no fools
play" but is always surrounded with grave
and innumerabe difficulties which no man
except one of brains, and who can give a
reason Tor the faith that is in hin, is com
petent to solve. That we hare men in Cam
bria county who are fully capable to repre-
sent faithfully aud intelligently her political
interests in this regard and to retain her
separate representation in the House in the
future, as it has existed since 1867, cannot
be questioned. but it is high time to sound
the note of alarm. As l said before, | am
the advocate of no man specially uor is this
communication addressed to you with the
design of advancing or promoting the per-
sonal or political prospects of any one aspi-
rant, whoever be may be, for the Legisa-
ture. 1t is written simply. with an honest
view, to impress upon the Democratic party
of this county the vast importance of the
question which have fairly presented, aud
to say to the members of that party. in every
election district in the county, that to be
.fore,c0rned is to be .forearmed, and then if
they will fail to perform their whole duty

pect to reap the storm" CLEARFIFLD.

a MAN YANKrD Up BY TIKI FEET AND
CARRIED OFF BY BALoON.-The balloon
that goes with De HAven's circus seems iaten
to give origin to startling incidents that have
attended it. We add another thrilling scene
al this place, on the evening of the 18th inst.
1t was Inflated in the presence Of 500 peo>
pie, the wind blowing sharply from the east.
The aeronaui took his position in the frail
bark, the ropes that held it to the earth were
looseRed, and sheering it started. q sharp
east wind blowing al. the time, it caught
second party, who became entauged in the
ropes, and rapidly assembled with the lnvoI-
untafy explorer hanging by the feet
At the height of thirty feet the unwilling
traveller succeeded in catching a horizontal
rope near the bottom Of the haloon with bis
hands. and thus supported mounted 10 the
height Of 400 feet aud moved rapidly in
westerly direction.
The rapid cooling and condensation of
heated air that supported it, and the extra
weight Of a l'unared and eighty pounds,
caused it to descend almost fast as it went
up, landing the two passengers with heavy
cOEcussion on the caves OF a house from
which they fell. bruised. gashed. and faint
ing, to the ground. At first they were sup
posed to be killed, but prompt medical
attendance soon resuscitated them. and their
hurts proved not very serious.
The emotions Of a man hanging by his feet
and hands alone and moving rapidly through
the air, at an elevation of four or FIVE hun
dred feet, may be better imagined than
described. 1t was the most thrilling scene
we ever witnessed. and we do not care to see
the like again. .-ShelGina Mo.) Democrat

A You've Man SHARES EIs FORTUNE
WITH A DIsINHERITED BROTHER. .-Ten-
yes. ffteen--years ago, says the Kansas City
Times, there lived in St Joseph family by
the name of Adams, the head of which was
a stern, though kind old gentleman. whom
fifty years had touched iightly. He was
wealthy, but what he priced above all. was
the pride of his old age two noble boys,
George aud Frank, aged respectively eish
teen and twenty. The war came on--the
terrible strife in which brother was array ed
against brother. and father against son. Mr.
Adams was an uncompromising Union man,
and his eldest son, George. espouSed his faith
ei's cause. Frank joined the forces in defense
of the sunny South, under William Y Slack
When ihe father learned of the course taken
by the younger, his rage knew no bounds.
He sent him word to return, or he was no
longer heir to his broad acres or recipient
of his love. His replied that no induce
meut would cause him to surrender his prn-
ciples. The old gentleman drew up his will
leaving his youngest son peEniless. The
war continued, each of the brothers fighting
valiantly in defence Of their different banners.
Peace once more blessed the land, the eldest
sen returned home, while the younger loca-
ted in this city, and by his courteous bearing
and close attention to business gained hosts
of friends. His whereabouts were unknow D
to either father or brother. and, though be
loved them both, his pride would not permit
him to return to home from which he had
been cut Cff in a moment OF passion. The
old gentleman WAS gathered to his fathers,
aud the eldest son became sole heir to his
fathers wealth. George was no sooner in
possession Of his property than be made dill
igent search for his brother. aud after time
traced him to this city. The meeting be-
tween the brothers occurred only last week,
and was both cordial and affecting. The
eldest caused deed of half his estate to be
made out in favor of his younger brother,
and forced the acceptance upon him. Such
spirit is noble. grand and magrauimous,
therefore we give st. Joe the credit, as stated
above. The incident is true, as persons in
both cities can testify.

THE MILToNIAN TABLEAUx.-The
Opera House was well filled again
last night, and the Tableaux were
highly admired BY the audience. The
singing Of Miss Anderson and the de-
scriptive lecture were highly appre-
eiated.
THE AMATEURS. - Masonic Hall
was much better attended than on the
occasion of the first exhibition by this
company some time since, although
the performance last night was no
better than on that occasion, for al
though the music was better. and the
attractions of Messrs. Goslee and B.
7. Wsgley's singing vas added, there
was a proportionate lack in other re-
spect7.
Perhaps the Amateurs are not yet
fair subject for close criticism, but
to omit severe criticism on the acting
of "a party of the name of Smith, ;"
would be cruel to the rest of the COM
pany. The party amused himself
to such an extent that there was no
amusement left for the audience. in
his acting, and with this slight adj
monition we leave Mr.. Smith. There
was a very badly managed attempt to
play An UnRarTantable Intrusion I"
that the audience could not see, and
mistook it for bona Ji3e quarrel on
the stage. but, beyond these ''acci-
dents," the performance was good,
and won loud applause. Hammers
violin solo was fine, but too long, the
either solo exquisite. the negro abb
surdities as intensely amusing as such
things always are, except that Greene
spoke too low. aud Elliot none too
loud.
The shadow pantomine was a little
defective, but on the whole the show
was excellent, and deserves 4 good
