China's Great Earthquake.

LONDON, April 2.-An Oriental mail
brings some particulars Of the earthquake
in China just before Christmas. 1t proves
to have been of appalling magnitude.
Fifteen thousand people perished in the
course of four days, during which at un.
certain intervals the shocks continued.
This estimate is, of course, to some extent
suppositious, because it is scarcely possi'
BILE, after so tremendous visitation, to
ascertain for long while the exact loss
of life. How many have been injured
appears to defy computation yet.
The capital district of Yuma is abso-
lutely one mass of ruins. More than FIVE
thousand persons were killed by the fall
ing Of houses.
At Lainon, another Chinese town, the
effect on buildings has been almost as
terrible, with the additional horror ofthe
earth yawning till frigbtful chasm was
produced, from which red colored water
was elected. The shaking of the earth
seems to have been followed by subter.
ranean convulsion of the most awful
kind.
Further north, at Lo Chan, where ten
thousand met their doom, the aspect OF
the country has been completely changed.
Large tracts Of land suddenly disappeared
in the course of the visitation, and in
their place lakes formed.

Pouring OIL on the Waters.

Some time ago the Nesos ind Courier
published an article calling attention to
oil bags for quelling heavy seas. The
Savannah Nea0s published yesterday the
following story told by the captain of the
schooner Normandy, which arrived at
that port. recently:
"On the morning of March 12, about
seventy miles east of Cape Henry, he
encountered a northwest gale, which
developed into hurricane, and which
lasted for three days. The vessel was
hove to FIVE days under trysail. Dur.
ing the height of the gale the captain
poured oil over the waves, which had q
quieting effect on the angry seas and was
all that saved the vessel from destruction.
While lying hove to the vessel lost her
main gaf,, fore gaff and fore boom, and
also her mainsaiI and foresail, and split
her lib. After which the vessel was put
before the wind and ran for six hours,
when sea took the long boat from the
davits and one of the davits with it. At
7.30 in the morning a heavy sea boarded
the vessel from the stern, breaking in the
companion way doors and the window
shutters, and started her afterhouse,
washing away the pinnacle, flooding the
Gu N and carrying away all the ships
sn.- Il stores. The captain hove the ves-
sel to under her storm trysail, and again
poured oil over the sides 10 keep the
seas from boarding her. He says that it
was the first time that he had ever used
oil on the troubled waters, and he is we'll
satisfied with the result"
