D. Appleton & Co. publish volume of
sermons, with the title, "Christ in Modern
Life" which were preached by Rev. Stopford
A. Brooke, in St. James's Chapel. London.
There are twenty-seven sermons in the whole.
The main thought running through them is
that the ideas which Christ made manifest on
earth are capable of endless expansion, to
suit the wants of man in every age and that
they do so expand The author considers
that Christ's life was and is and always will
be the light of the race of man. Horace
North has it for sale.
Another work just issued by d. Appleton
s Co. is, 'Throe Centuries of English Litera-
ture, by Charles Duke Yonge. This is a re-
view of English literature commencing with
Shakespeare, with whom the author believes
that our literature properly began. Most writ.
ers of the first reputation since his time are
reviewed. The articles are necessarily brief,
but in small compass we get valuable in
formation and suggestions, that throw new
light over the works and characters COM
mented upon. ]. Fennimore Cooper appears
to be all the American writer noticed BY the

EAST INDIAN EARTHQUAKE.

A correspondent of the New York Herald
sends that paper the following account of the
destruction by earthquake of the town of
Cotta-bato, capital of the Spanish East In
dian Island of Mindanao:
At ten minutes past six in the afternoon of
December 9th, Gotta bato was joyous place,
whose inhabitants walked TRANQUILITY by the.
banks of the beautiful river which bathed its
feet. At twenty minutes past six-that is to
say, within ten minutes-it was heap of
ruins A fearful but short trembling of the
earth, of an intensity unknown in the Philip
pines, destroyed in one moment the industry
of years. The subterranean rumbling which
preceded it, the noise of hundreds of houses
falling, the horrible spectacle of the earth
waving as If it were liquid, and the sad con-
viction that no one could fly, for the place is
situated in delta, inspired terrors in the in.
habitants utterly impossible to describe. The
open fields, the trees and the hillocks served
as dangerous lodging place for the natives.
A pitiless rain vas falling, accompanied by
lightning and shaking of the ground. The
accidents would have been great but for the
serenity OF the garrison-due to their military
discipline-so useful in such cases. After
attending to the invalids of the hospital, which
fell down, they in twenty minutes covered
the fields with hundred of tents, under which
they and the people took shelter. BY this
means the casualties were limited to sundry
persons confused and one boy killed.
The night was awful through the constant
oscillations of the earth. Frightful confusion
reigned, augmented by the idea which ran
| through the populace that the surrounding
hills might be converted into volcanoes, as
happened not many months ago to neigh
boring island At midnight the rain ceased
and then commenced the moving spectacle
Of an entire population on the march travers-
ing over ruins, chanting fervent litany; the
European COMPOUNDED with the native, the
master with the servant, the officer with the
soldier.
Next morning (9th), which may be said to
have been continuation Of the previous
night, commenced with fog so great that it
was hardly possible to see anything ahead
This caused fears of fresh misfortunes. At
half-past seven the earth, as il moved by the
nahd OF giant became more agitated than it
was the previous night The aspect all
around was desolating; the ruins seemed To
boil, the still standing walls fell down, and
iamentation, crying and praying completed
the most affective picture that could be con.
ceiyed.
Inc earthquake presented the singular
phenomena Of being repeated six times
fortunately the tremblings at last ceased ::
but every hour we felt some slight rumbline'
from which l gather that the suhterranean
gases had not found 4 means of escape
through any of the numerous extinct yolca-
I noes in the neighborhood. The risk and un-
certainty, which the authorities tried in vain
| to hide by music and TIE Deums, spread con-
unhappy land.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNBl
WASHINGTON, July 5.-A notable meeting of
ofHce-holders and prominent Grant politicians was
held at the White House. Wednesday. All the
politicians in the city Of sufficient prominence, and
who could be trusted were present, and it
mentioned at the time that the meeting
prearranged and had certain important subjects for

under consideration the proprety Of turning out

consultation as TO whether anything TO beat Greeley

10 be Mr. Hartley Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury,

occupies the relative position TO the Treasury
Department that Mr.. Clinch does TO the New-York
Customhouse There seems 10 be little doubt notwith
sandng the Civil Service Reform now In vogue, that
Hartley will soon be asked to resign. The reasons given
for his removal are that he has been Democrat, but
taking little part in politics, and this by the outside
also that he s not so quick and agile in the performance
