The Destruction of the American Schooner
Sherman on the Corean Coast.
WASHINGTON, June 1st.-Lieutenant Geo.
C. Foulk, of the navy, under date of Seoul,
Corea, March 29th, has sent to the Navy
Department an account of the destruction
of the American schooner Sherman and
the beheading of portion of her crew on
the Yellow Sea coast of Corea in 1866. The
narrative was prepared from accounts OBJ
tanned from a Corean Christian in good
standing, and is published for the first time.
Foulk says The Sherman arrived in Felong
river in August. and anchored a short dis
lance below Phyong Yang city. The Sher-
man was seen from the walls of Phyong
Yang, and was a cause of much excite
ment; but on account of the dangerous con-
dition of the river, which was then high,
no boat ventured near her for some time.
When the water began to subside the Pro-
vincial Governor sent officers to inquire his
mission. The common people took adj
vantage of the departure of these officers
for the Sherman to crafty their own curl
osity, and went with them, the whole party
being in large fleet of small boats which
put out from the shore together. The
Shermans people, not understanding the
object Of the approaching expedition, con-
Sidered the movement as a hostile demon
stration, and fired several shots in the air.
The officers, accompanied by all the other
people, at once turned back and returned
to the city. The river 1ell rapidly after
this, and in a few days the Sherman went
aground. This was seen from the city

ward the schooner, this time with hostile
intent, the people being armed Shots
were again fired from the Sherman, and
the Coreans turned back as before. Both
officers and people We're now enraged.
Boats were loaded with combustible ma
terial and taken TO points above the SchCon-
er's anchorage. Here they were fired and
allowed TO drift down upon her, and the
Sherman was soon in flames. Her people
jumped overheard to save themselves, but
most of them were drowned. \ few were
picked up by the Corean boats. The pris-
oners were brought before the kamsa and
examined They told the object of the
Shermans coming, All efforts to save
themselves were useless, however, and in a
few days they were led out Of prison and
beheaded.

Beecher's Second Sermon on Evolution.
New YORK, June 1st.-Beecher' second
sermon on Evolution Applied to Re
ligion filled Plymouth Church yesterday,
despite the showery skies. He adopted a
holder and more confident tone than in his
first sermon. He said: g quite incline
to the belief that man is, in the order of
nature. in analogy with all the rest ofGOd' s
work, and that there was time when he
stepped ahead of his fellow animals. The
descent, OF ascent. as the case may be, of
man from the great family of apes is not
yet proved, but as a hypothesis | hold il,
and hold it in suspense, awaiting further
light too fearful and timid. Let me say
that while evolution is bound to compel
theology to reconstruct its lines. it will
take nothing away from true religion. If
We can change theology We can emancipate
religion. They are not the same. thank
God. they are not the same
The Times says: We shall watch with
much interest TO see how Beecher accounts
for the preSeILce of a soul in being WHO
has merely stepped ahead oflis fellow ami
mails
The Hcrald says 1t is very cert in
that the disciples of evolution are to find a
powerful friend and advocate in Beecher.
It's opponents will be handled without
gloves"
Dr.. Newman on the Bane Of the Age.
New YORK, June 1st-Dr. Newman
preached in the LeXingtOn-ayenue Method
Isl Church yesterday. He said THE bane
of the age is not love Of wealth, but fear of
poverty. The millenniaI will never come
until the intellect, heart and manner OF lite
make rank and station; when the disgust
ing shoddy element now in power shall
have been turned out. The pangs Of vol
untary poverty are much greater than those
of forced poverty. To be voluntarily poor
