Hundred Orphan Children Burnt
Alive.
We have alread published the principal
facts connected with the inhuman massacre
on the Dist of June by Chinese mob ut
rient-Sin of the French Consul. Il number

priests, and the Sisters Of Charity attached

London Standard publishes private letter,
| written from Cheetoo, June 80. in which the
| barbarities practiced on the fatal day of the
massacre are fully depicted. After telling
how the French Consul, NJ. Fontanicr, NJ.

THE wRETCHED DEATHS OF THE SISTERS OF
CHARITY.
| The mob, led on by soldiers, set fire to
| the consulate and the church of the Catho-
lie mission, and burnt all the other inmates
| who could not escape. simultaneously with
the assault on the French consulate, the
mob and soldiers surrounded the hospital
| of.the French Sisters OF Charity. Having
set fire to a portion Of the building, they
entered the gates and dragged all the Sis
| ters OF Charity out into the street. There
they stripped them naked, exposed them to
the public gaze, plucked out their eyes, cut
| oil their breasts, ripped them open, dragged
| out their hearts, and deliberately cut them
| to pieces and divided portions of their flesh
amongst the Infatuated mob. No European
| witnessed these outrages on humanity save
| the poor victims, who. in presence of each
| other, passed through the terrible ordeal,
and persisted without hope Of release, and
without any support i'll that extreme
hour of misery and torment save their
| confidence i'll u mercitul God, whose be-
hests they have endeayored to fulfil
| amongst barbarouS people, at the peril
| OF their lives. Chinese spectators of the
bloody scene relate other horrors perpe-
tratcd on the innocent ladies that canIses
be mentioned. The lady supsria r.. IS Of tb

while yet alive. God alone and the Sister
n know what they endured Of agony an
c bodily su1erings. Their modesty outraged
q their purity detiled, their poor, frail frame
tom asundcr, their blood scattered, all
> their lives destroyed by sayages whose mu,
derous rage inflicted all those and othe

Y would b. terrible to encounter. One shol
hour sufliced to eXtineuiSh those nobl
martyrs of charity. Their labor of low
amongst the poor OF Tient-sin for six year
i was thus crowned in bitterness and earth
shame, by the very people whom they ha
succored, and fed, and clothed, and ten(
