Deems of the Xew York Chureh of JAPANESE BARBAKITY. Sbicking Detail -Hetincmcnt ol" Creliv All for Keliifions PSahe. A eorreppondent of the Sprngiiehl writing from Yokohama, February 1S71, states that a little more than a year since the newly organized government of Japan began to put ttt force an Sad law 'gainst christians, which it was hoped had beconit obsolete under the ihhaflllTrafl views and feelings, of the Mikado's government. Late in lstTC betw een three thousand and four thousand native Christians, residing in aud near the city of Naga saki, were seized and dragged from their homos and carried on steamers to parts then unknown, but it has since been ascertained that they were sent to different If calitlca. The following 1 a description of the cruelty practiced upon seven hundred of the Christians, given on the authority of an eye witness: He found them shut up in what looked like a huge cage built for the purpose, at he bottom of a ieep depression resembling a crater in the top of a tilli.

The building is of two stories, but is Inrtalble fin one stands on the rim of the crater, whence he might drop Stone upon the riMff. The whole seven hundred were all confined in the upper story, from vhteh they have no egress. Their oppressors begrudge them even the sight of a bit of blue sky, and cannot afford them a range of a few yards to walk iu. iu the open air. There, iu that pent-up sty, the poor fetches are bod died together, without regard to age or sex.

Mother brought with them their infant children. pearly a hundred of them, when thev first entered this place of confinement, but few of them now have the comfort of extending their maternal love and care for their babes, for most of Ihohe infants have died of mall-pox within a few months past. Tin pestilence has prevailed in Japan with unusual malignity. But, whatever pest may invade the prison of these Christians, neither physician or medicine provided for them by their keepers. Were disease to carry them off, I dare say it would be regarded as special good fortune by the government, "orit hi evidently its aim is not to save life, but to kill.

The daily allowance of food to the prisoners is a ball of dirty Saigon rice. The staple off thts eonntrv. of which there is no scarcity, is too good for those who dare to believe what this government condemns. Besides, The miserable ration thev reeefes is barafy enough? to keep body ami BOOj together, white the He that unites them must be constantly attenuate! by such and so cans' a dhd. The aim of their oppressors is.

tf possible, to constrain some of them by such cruelty to deny their faith. With a view to such a poasihlc result, another, and a BBttre comfortable building has been erected not far from the prison, ro receive those who recant. Hitherto it has never had an occupant. When my informant visited the prtaon. the prisoners crowded as near as possible to the spot where he stood without, delighted to see the face of BBt who sympathized with them, and wishtne to speak with him, but the keepers, in whose breasts the last tpark of humanity seemed etSttet; beat them back with ciubs, thrusting them between the bats of their cages.

He there saw two dead bodies tying just where they died of small-pox, two dava before, no attempt having been made to remove them. The prisoners told him this was not unusual. Baal those who died arete always dragged out of the prison at the end of long poles, to which the survivors were compelled to fssten them, the beggarly keeper wishing to keep out of the way ol contagion. They said, also, thai they had no clothing but such as they brought from thHr homes more than a year ago. They say that they exjtcct.

and are willing to die for their religion. Thev onlv dread being shot, that mode of ex-eeutioo alone hav in any special terrors for them. It is not probable tt at thej have much knowledge i revealed religion, but the look upon martyrdom a the aade t9 a blissful reward hereafter. The orego.ug details mav te relied upon aa BBb Bhaattatiy true, ami 1 envy not the man who can read or hear off these facta and yet feel neither pity for these 'nnocent sufferers, nor a desire to deliver banes trotr the hands of their unfeeling oppressors. These persecuted peeffde profess to be Roman Catholic.

But what of that? The writer Is a Protectant, bat to him tt is BnaVetent to know that these otherwise in-t demling people are r.recnted for conscience sake, and with a refinement of cruelty that can scarcely le conceived by enlightened men.

There is a general pronenes to ante-date Bncn things where tradition is relied on. My researches on this subject put this abortive enterprise at least two pears later. Be thia as it may, there are other errors of your correspondent which, with your leave, I will correct. As history ts often made from newspaper clippings, it is important thai their stat tmenta should Import verity.

The fee's on this subject which I am ShojBj to state ore made up mostly from record which I have consulted and from original papers. In spring of 17i John Ilavdcn, who had lived in the rod-ore Iron region of New Jersey, hauled over the mountain, from Ilagerstown to Brownsville, Fayette county, a four-horse wagon load of foods f6t Jacob Bowman, who had come from the former to the latter place in 1TT, at which he was a prominent merchant and citizen for half a centurv. Ilayden was nearly a month in making the trip hauling pounds at $3 per hundred. PtOBBOd arltb the beautiful valley at the western khan of the Laurel Hill Mountain-' the last of the chain, south of the Youghiogheny antl tired of teaming, he resolved to settle in the West," and at once removed to near Fnlontown. He soon lought out a aettler near to where is now Falrehance lOliphant's) iron works," and fixed hi aliode upon it in the spring of 1790.

On the land was a log dwelling, not yet chunked and eambed ami as winter approached, Ilayden itetook himself to stopping the interstice. For this he must needs have mortar, which, he thought, could not be well made without lime or ralrlnwin oyster or clam shells. As the latter could not be had he looked around for lime stone. In gathering what he supposed was lime stones from the bed of a stream, he aatht red unwittingly "blue lump' Iron ore, so unlike the Jersey ores that he never sus-pected the cheat. He made up a pile of iff.

burn, with wood, ami after supposing it well burnt, plnnged lump after lump of it into wafer and found if wouldn't met, ami that It was as heavy as when he took it from the run. Coming to the conjecture that it was some new form or color of trou ore, he resolved to test it. The expedient was an improvised furnace upon a blacksmith's hearth but none of the smiths in the neightMirho.si won id entertain the experiment. Having a Jersey acquaintance, a smith, in the vioimtv iff Connellaviile, he had resort to him. He had faith enough in the blue lumps to ftlloiv the experiment on his hearth.

After hmg ami repented efforts at healing and hammering, the result wa a piece of iron, as Hnydeh used io sav, '-about as big a a harrow hrftth land with his discovery, Havden put his '-harrow tooth" ami some of the ore in his saddie-najrs and SdM sfl to New Jersey, to enlist some of ins iron acquaintances in the project of building a furnace Bad forge In Fayette. None of them would Join him ta th enterprise. He came back to Philadelphia, where, after his discovery la-cawe known, he succeeded in securing the favor of the celebrated John Nicholson, then State Comptroller, and In the zenith of hi fame and speculation, which were ultimately so disastrous to himself ami the Annn of the Commonwealth. Nicholson soon alter joined him, and thereat pen "took up" large tracts of laud in and near the base of Laurel HJll, embracing the territory of Ha.iden "blue lump discoveries, Havden, sbot.T nag with the aid of Nlehoiaon built a HtfJe furnace called Fairnshi, near to where now Fri7.ec; but his patron went down and Jofin Havden followed and in a few year the father of F. H.

onphaut succeeded to his funia-e and s- on. It may set down as certain that John Havden, in 1790, made the first iron west of the mountains. But his furnace was not in oueratum until after others, profiling by his discover', had built furnuces and begun the manufacture of carina. William Turnbull, a Philadelphia merchant, had been daring the revolutionary war a commissary of clothing and provislcis far tha Pennsylvania trtMjps.

Darwin has just discovered, in the recesses of hia inner consciousness, some remarkable fandadg the natural hjstory of Adun and Eve Darwin. The early progenitors of men, he decides, were no doubt once covered with hair, both sexes having boards their ears were pointed and capable of movement, and their bodies were provided wth a tail, having the agoner Bust Ins. Their limbs and bodies were also BEthd on by many muscles irhlch now only occasionally reappear, but are normally present in the Qnadrnmana. The great artery and nerv of the humerus ran through 3 supra-condyloid foramen. At this, or some earlier period, the Intestine gave forth a much larger diverticulum or ctecuni than Ejbaf now existing.

The foot, judging from the condition of the great see in the foetus, was then prehensile: and on- progenitors, no doubt, were arlxireal their habits, frequenting some warm, forest-clad land. The males were provided with great canine teeth, which served them as formidable weapons. At a much earlier period the uterus was double: the excreta wer voided through a cloaca, an! the eye as protected by a third eyelid or nictitating membrane. At a still earlier period, the progenitors of man must have been aquatic in their habits, for morphology plainly tells us that our lungs consist of a modified swim-bladder, which once served as a float. The clefts on the reck In the embryo of man show where The bronchia? once existed.

Brown, a well-known English writer on insanity, says: "Tbsy drunkard not only enfeebles antl weakens his own nervous ay stem, but entails mental disease upon his family."

Mr.

Darwin says: "it is remarkable that all the diseases arising from drinking spirituous or fermented liquors are liable to beooBtta hereditary, even to the third generation, Infftnalnji. if the cause be continued, till the faau'v becomes extinct." Dr. Rlam. a London physician, in a recent work upon Physical Degeneracy, writes of the edect ot alcohol, as follows "All this, tearful as It is, would 1m? of trifling Importance id the punishment descend onlv on the individual concerned and terminate there. 1'nfor-tnnately this is not so, for theift is no phase of humanity tn which hereditary influence is so marked antl characteristic as in this.
