EARLY FOREIGN NEVIS.
The Situation i'm Chtna-The Foreign
 Ministers Urged Not to Increase Their
Guards.

@WarUs,
 Pekin, Oct. 6.-The three principal ministers of the Tsung- -li-Yamen visited the foreign legations to-day in an ef- fort to persuade the ministers to re- scind the orders they have issued for an increase in the strength of their guards. The Chinese ministers say that the presence here of the foreign soldiers lace, which is now quiet.
 It is reported that the Taotai of Tientsin has refused to allow the pas sage of rapid-fire guns to Pekin, except on the authority of the Tsung-li- Va men. The European ministers will hold conference to-day on the escort ques- tion.
 Chang yin-Houan, the exiled member of the Tsung-li- amen, and opponent of Lii Hung Chang, who has been dis graced on the charge of conspiracy against the dowager empress, started to-day for his place of exile. He was in excellent spirits, and hopes he will be reinstated in office at no far distant date.
 A few cases of mud-throwing have been reported, but they are merely the acts of idlers and vagabonds. A proc lamation will be issued threatening the infiction of capital punishment upon any person insulting Europeans. It is now considered likely that there will be no further disturbances of the peace.

CHAPTER XVII.

Meantime Astrea sat alone in her
chair. counting the weary hours OF that
fearful night as they passed. Wilder
and wilder grew the revels in the din
ing room. The hall clock had struck
two before the noise began to subside.
Soon after that she heard the guests
rise from the table an dprepare to de-
part. She heard the order given for
the gentlemen's"grooms, who were fol-
lowing, in the kitchen, tn example set
by their masters in the dining room, to
bring around the horses. She head
the tramping of thehorses as they
were brought around to the hall door;
and the disorderly exit of the gentle
men, as. with loud renewal Of engage
ments to similar scenes of excess, and
with uproarous adieus, they separated
and mounted and rode awaJ-some
singly, and some in parties of two or
more, as their roads homeward lay.
When the last guests had departed,
she heard Rumford and his man, Sam,
putting out the lights and fastening up
the house. Lastly, sh eheard the mas
ter dismiss the man through the back
door, lock it, and enter his own. She
heard him movin gabout for a little
while, and then all was silent.

they soon reached improper 1ests and
anecdotes and bacchanalian songs of a
character quite unfit for woman's ears.
"Now, jes' listen to dat dare chorus,
honey! Amt dat 'nough to make any
decent body 60 run dere head right
into de ashes?" said Venus.
Il am mob listening, Venus, MS pre-
fer not to hear such ribalLry," replied
Astrea, in tone of rebuke that ST.
fenced Venus for the time.
1t drew near midnight, and still the
orgies gave no intimation of subsiding.
II gwine try to fasten up dis we're
room: deed is L; cause l done got
sleepy. an dere's no tellln' where dem
deere debbils wander to when dey get
blind drunk; dey won't know dis room
door from de front door or de back
door, an dey'll he as like to stumble
into here as any other place." said We
nus, as she looked about for some
means of securing the room against
Intrusion. But she had no better sue
cess than Astrea had upon q previous
occasion.
well, do think how dis is a down
right 'barbarious 'trivance of ole Nick
hisse'f! Ebery key took out'n de locks,
an no bolt on de doors, an all de doors
swingin' outward, so you can't even
pile up anything agin 'em to keep 'em
fast" exclaimed Venus, in a rage.
My good woman, If you are tired,
Just close the doors and so to sleep. 1
shall sit in this chair and watch
through the night. could not, in any
case, trust myself to sleep through
this night" said Astrea, kindly.
well, honey, it do seem funnelly
selfish In me for to go to sleep an
leave you a-sittin' up by yourself;
leastways 1t would seem so If could
help of 1t, which couldn't to save my
life! An when de sleep do come on
me can no more keep my eyes open
house was a-fire." said Venus, opening
her wide mouth in an awful yawn that
exhibited deep. ragged chasm terri
bic to contemplate.
1T is very pardOnable weakness,
Venus; pray, yield to it at once," said
Astrea, gently.
deed, 1 gwine to, honeyw answered
the woman, kneeling down to say her
short evening prayer. After which she
yawned again fearfully, crept under
the bed to her mattress. and was
soon fast asleep. Waking up, howev-
er, at tn erolling in of an unusually
uproarous chorus, she started, put her
head out from under the bed, and said:
DE lors, if didn't think robbers
had broke into de house! An it amt
muffin tall but dem riprates a-roarin'
of dere songs! Well, try it once more!
An, honey, mind, If you is 'sturbed in
de night, or frightened or anything, an
l asleep, jest you overturn a chair or
somethin' an wake me up, cause l
shan't sleep so berry SCUM no ways.
Well, goodnight, honeyv'
And so saying, with another ire
mendous yawn, the woman once more
drew in her head, tumbled down upon
her mattress, and resigned herself to
a sleep too profound to be again dis
turbed by the most noisy outbreaks Of
the dining room orgies.

CHAPTER XIV.

Astrea had no duties to perform. She
had not even the woman's little solace.
a work-boN! The reader knows that
all her personal effects had been left
behind when she was abducted from
the isle. And since that. she had no
opportunity. even had she possessed
the desire, to procure working materi-
ais. There We're books lying about on
the parlor tables; but they were of
that snowy sort whose chief attraction
lies i'll their gaudy bindings. Astrea,
therefore. had no means of occupying
herself, even had her mind not been so
deeply pNoccupicd by the terrors Of
her impending fate.
She wandered restlessly about the
room. She went to the front windows
and looked out. They commanded a
sunny Southern prospect of green sa-
vannas, intersper>ed with groves of
trees. and bounded on the distant hori-
ION by the cypress swamp. 1t was the
same country she had passed in her
flight.
Weary of this, she left the parlor and
went into her own room, which she
found already made tidy by the MIN
bic fingers OF Venus: and then, in the
restleSSneSS CT her spirit, she left the
room and walked out of the front door
upon the front lawn.
The moment she appeared. Rumford,
who was walking UP and down, smok-
ing. took his pip" from his mouth, and
gave peculiar whistle that brought
the hlnodhoundS handing to his side.
He took them and led them straight
up to Astrea, making them snuff hel
clothing, and then saying:
Good boys! pretty pups. watcl
her! watch herr
The dogs looked up intelligcntly an(
wagged their tails.
''And now. Zora," said Rumford, turn
