LECTURE ON CHILr.-A very entertaining
evening discussion of part of the gathered wis
dom of a ten years residence in Chill, was given
at the vestry of Salem street church last night,
by Rev. N. P. Gilbert, to a large audience lie
was particularly animated in speaking of the
beauty aud growing enterprise of Santiago,
city of one hundred and forty thousand inhabi-
tants, with whom his lot had been cast
as a missionary for a decade of years.
Although the buildings Of that city arc mostly
adobe and of one story, many new ones are
going up of brick, and of two stories height.
Ofcourse a lecture on South America is not com

earthquakes, but Santiago had of late years es
capped any startling experience Of that kind

of their effect on the country near the sea coast.

The Burning of the Bienville.


New YORK, Sept. "A complete list of the
passengers OF the steamer Bienvile, which was
burned at sea, shows that there were sixty-two.
which, with the crew, would make about ninety
two persons on board OF this number there
are still thirty-siX to be heard from. Seven per-
sons were drowned when one of the boats cap
sized, on leaving the vessel, and nine more were
drowned in the surf at Eleuthera island. 1t is
hoped that the thrty-siX who were in the boat
which has not yet been heard from have been
saved, as there has been but little and slight
sea, and the boat adrift is in one of the great
highways of commerce where they will be likely
to be picked up.
The steamer Yazoo arrived to-day from Ha-
Vana. She brings no news of the missing boat
of the steamer Bienville.
Benno Speyer estimates that four cabin pas
sengers and seventeen Storage passengers on
the Bienville are missing, together with num-
