From the New York Eyangelistl --.----
The changes that have taken place
among the nations of Asia within the
last few wears, are more memorable and
important than any that have previously
taken place for perhaps as many centu-
ries. China is still reluctant to admit
the foreigner, bat in spite of her just IN
dignation against the Imposition Of the
opium traffic, she is finding herself ne
cessitated in self-defence to avail herself
of the arts of European civilizatiOn. Ja-
pan has surprised the world by the
promptitude With Whichshe has shaken
offthe incubus sOftraditional institutions,
repealed her edicts against Christianity,
and opened her ports to civilized enter
prise. The King of Siam is taking les
sens from Peter the Great, and visiting
other nations, that he may learn the
ways of the world In India, where
Christian missions have long been pros
ecuted, often with doubtful success, a
native theism is disintegrating the old
idolatry, and art and science are under-
mining the very foundations Of the Hin-
doc creed.
Hon. James Brooks relates in his Just
published volume, what CAME under his
own observation, and ON this point re-
marks: 1.-THE railroad is breaking down
slowly the Hindoo castes. The proud,
and lofty, and blue-blooded Brahmin
must now go into the same car with the
poor, despised Paria, or not go at all.

ness Man of Louisville Gone up
for an Immense Amount.

LOUISVILLE, August 14.-To-day an
enormous business failure was devel-
Oped, involving one Of the most promi-
nent business men of the city. Robert
Atwood, leading insurance agent and
a member of a pork-packing firm, has
been specializing heavily in cotton and
stocks, and became involved to the ex-
tent of a quarter to half million dol
lars. He left on the Jacksonville, Mad
ison and indianapolis train this after
noon, but was arrested BY telegraph at
Seymour, Indiana, and brought back at
eleven o'clock tonight. He was bailed
in the sum of fifty thousand dollars
to appear at the police court tomorrow.
1t is charged that be has obtained large
amounts Of money from banks on fraud
ulent drafts, and on paper TO which he
forged the name of DR.. Lewis Rogers,
his father-in-law, and other prominent
citizens and business men. Nearly every
bank in the city is loser. Atwood is
most highly connected, and the affair is
creating a profound sensation in the
city.

KIIIedsand others Wounded.

PrrTSvIIAE, Pa, August I4.-This
morning AZ two o'clock while six miners
were returning from Continental coli
hery, near Centraiia, where they had
been working, they were attacked and
fired upon by two parties who We're in
ambush on both sides Of the railroad.
John Webster was shot seven times and
has since died. George w. Davis was
severely wounded, having been shotnear
the heart, the other four were slightly
wounded. Large taeks We're found in
some of the wounds. All the men but
Webster succeeded in reaching the en-
gine-house, when the villains decamped.
The cause Of the attack is generally be-
Heved to be that jealousy which exists
among miners. The six miners had
been transferred from the old colliery to
work at the Continental. This same
place is.where lastspring several men at
tackled Green, a school teacher, IN broad
