For the last month or two the Ting- Yuen has been getting up and blowing off its steam. First of all, it was taken round to Kiel and then steered back to Stettin. Then the German Government consented its being worked out to Chiva by

intended to relieve the force on the eastern station; but Prince Bismarck took alarm at the growing eomplication between France and China; he was determined that Ger- many, like Eogland, should not be drayged into an Alabama dificulty, and — the arrangement wus prudently cancelled, Ail the steres of the Ting-Yuen wera then sold off, and we were informed that the vessel would certainly not leave its moorings un- til every vestige of misunderstanding be- tween France and China had vanished. Perhaps this announcement was intended for the especial benefit of the French ‘tourists’ who were supposed to have gone to Stettin with a holiday curiosity in the movements of the Everlasting Peace.
But though thus shut up within the Baltic, the Ting-Yuen was not idle or un.
emonstrative of its formidable powers. Furnished with
A SCRATCH CREW FROM THE GERMAN NAVY
and having on board the Chinese Ambassa- dor to Germany, with a select and critical company of visitors, it was towed out to the roads of Swinemunde to show what it could doin the way of turret-gun firing, Your readers may remember the results of the experiment; how the crew and the visitors stoffed their ears with cotton and clung to rails and ropes while the monster cannon were being fired; how one man was knocked down by the shock; how glass was smashed and furniture shattered and rails wrenched off; how the coal bunkers emptied them- selves like tiny volcanoes, on the deck; and how the vessel supplied the experimentalists on board with ‘‘splinters of itself im memory of the occasion.”

Five hun- dred repeating rifles, we are told, were on board; the necessary salt pork and the sauerkraut bad all been stored, and this very day (Sunday) was fixed for the de- parture of the Ting Yuen, which was to ca!] at Plymouth for coals, when in come an- other telegram from Pekin, directing it again to blow off its steam, and pay off its crew, presumably until M. Tricou shows himself more amenable to. Chinese argu- ments. And meanwhile, perhaps, the Ting Yuen will continue its turret practice. That the Ting Yuen has at this particular time heen directed to remain at Stettin is regarded here as a confirmation of the , telegram from Hong Kong in the T'vmes the other day, stating that there is at pre- sent little prospect of a peaceful issne to the negotiations between France and China.

Vera Sassulitch.
REMARKABLE CAREER OF A RUSSIAN CHAR- LOITE CORDAY.
Vera Sassulitch was born iu 1850, accord- ing to the most apparent trustworthy authority, and in 1867 was shut upin a Lithunian prison for the offence of being a schoolmate of the sister of Netchieff, the political conspirator. Her imprisonment lasted two years, and she was scarcely lib- jerated when she was re-arrested on an ad- jministrative order of exile, avd hurried away from her mothers house so rapidiy that she would have perished of cold but for the compassion of a gendarme, who covered her with his cloak. For some years she was passed on from town to town as a ‘‘suspect,” until, having spent the best years of her Jife in prison, a victim to the insolence and brutality of the police, | she had learned to pity those whe were sim- ‘ilarly afflicted, and to desire to avenge them. |In 1878 she learned of the brutal il!-treat- | ment of a prisoner, Bogoluboff, by General | Trepoff, prefect of the town, at St. Peters. /burg. The general had entered the fortress and was exasperated on beholding Bogolu- boff and a companion walking together and conversing, a8, not being convicts, but merely accused men detained on suspicion, they hada righttodo. To a harsh ques- tion as to why this was allowed, one of the two volunteered an explanation. “I do

the applause of the audience, despite the evidence, her avowal, and the speeches of the judge and the prosecutor. The acquit- tal provoked a general outburst of applause from the press throughout Russia. On the 3rd of July, 1878, Vera Saasulitch appeared at Geneva, where she was received in triump) by Rochefort and his friends. She gave out that she had been rearrested but permitted to escape. It was reported for some time that the Vera of Geneva was an imposter, and that the Russian Charlotte Corday was really im Siberia, but finally all, doubts as to her identity ceased. In December, 1879, she published a statement to the effect that her attempt on the General's life had been mace in pursuance of orders from the Revolationary Committee, and that she bad been desi:nated by lot as the avenger. In February, 1880, her arrest was said to have been aflcoted in St. Petersburg, but the report proved false, and she was re- pornsaly heard of thereafter at Geneva and
aris, pushing on the Nihilist propoganda, and active as one of the editors of a well- known Nihilist review.

How Riviere Died.
HE ORDERS AN OFFICER TO KILL HIM TO SAVE HIS MEN,
It seems that Riviere had coneoeted a plan to capture Tonkin without risking the lives of his men, in the same way that Hanoi and Nam-Dinh had been taken, the besiegers being protected by the fire of the Frevch gun boats. First of all, however, he reselved to reduce Son-Tai, a strong- hold’ situated a little above Hanot on the Red River and a great resort of tae’ Black Flags. Riviere waited for the anual rise of the river to ascend it with the flotilla. But during the delay the Black Flags kept up a continual skirmishing fire, anugying the French garrison at Hanoi very gricv- ously. Thirty pounder carronades, present- ed to the Annamizes in 1874, sere turued to good acconnt by -he Blaek Flags. Every evening they were brought within range upon the backs of elephants, and trained npon the French quarters, which were regnlarly cauroualed all night. Early at daybreak the elephants would earry the canon away again to the unknowa in- terior.
At lest the fort was regularly besieged, and Riviere, after repelling several attacks, was compelled to beg. for reinforcements. Five poweiful gun-boats ascended the river, and Riviere's force was strengthened by the arrival of 240 marines with repeating rifles and several breech-loading steel guns. Hia force was thus raised t) 700 mon. On the 19th, early in the morning. Riviere led ont a reconnoitering party of 400 men upon the Son Tai road, where the Black Fiags were heavily mustered. They encountered no enemy for nearly two miles, and crossed a river ucopposed. Then suddenly a force of 1,500 Annamites scemed to issue from the ground, or rather froin the bamboos, and poured a terrific voliey into the French column with breech-loading rifles. Ina moment the artillery was in the enemy's hands ani the little force of marines and soldiers surrounded. Moat of the officers were killed. Lieutenant De. Brisis, of the marines, had half his face shot away, and finding escape impossible blew out his brains to save himself from falling into the enemys hands. Moulin, a non-com- commissioned officer, seeing himself on the
int of being taken prisoner, also blew his brains out. Riviere lay pros- trate but alive, with three rifle bails in his body; he ordered the men to leave him, to cut their way through and retreat. But they refused to abandon him, and a desper- ate struggle ensued about the fallen person of the wounded leader, Jacquin, captain of the marines, stood beside Riviere. “Jacquin,” said Riviere, ‘‘you cannot save me! There is only one thing to do—blow my braina out before these fgllows get me into their hands.” Jacquin obeyed, and the next mowent fell dead beside his com- mending officer The rempent of the column cut its way back to the fort. Those who fell alive into the hands of the Black Flegs may have bad time ioregret thet they bad ver followed the example of Moulin and De Bririe. Riviere’s ection was the most heroig, if it is true that the men might have saved him by a desperate effort, aud that he ordered an cflicer to kill him rather than allow the lives of his men to be wasied in what he deemed a useless struggle, as his wounds would probably have in any case p:oved ultimately mortel. — Paris fuyparo,
