Ricmstosp, Oct. 8.—The devotionsl mectings and meetings for worship continue to be of ab- gorbing interest to many. At the eervice last night, which wsa conducted by Allen Jay, of North Carolina, ths seekers were invited tocome forward to an altar of prayer, aud guite 2 number responded to tho invitation. Tho present meth- ods in this respect among the Quakers are very much like the Methodists. and the results are also quite similar. I observe quite a number of persons prescnt who are evidontly mem- bers of the Society, and often speak in the meeling who lave not found it peceswary to lay aside rings, bracelets, or ear jewels; aud itis evideot that sontimen- ial religion is destined to have a run amoug the Friends, if it does not largely usurp the more practical festurcs which bnve heretofore char- reterized the sect. The attendsuce was much Isrgor vesterday thao the day before, and the old moeting-bouse was well crowded. 4 The scasion was mostly occupied by rending the *“Queries™ and their answers, which are seut up from the yuarterly moetings. These quiries reluto_to tho practical statc of the Socie- ty, the attendance of mectings, oducation, tho maintenance of the peculiar testimonies in re- gard io war, the mimstry, simplicity, &e., fsmily worship, tho use_of intoxicating liquor, care of the poor, general integrity, and the manuar of dealing with the offender against the discipline. Thore wero seventy-cight_cages of the uune easary use end two cases of =elling intoxicating liquors reported. . o reading of the answers to thess various inquirics affords su occasion for a great amouunt of advice or miscellaneous specch-making on the subject thus bronght before tho meeting. Rtufos Kiog, Daniel Hill, Allen Jzy, and others made remarks on plainness of speech. and dross, and Caristian love. Edward Ozbun, of lowu, made a very excellent short address on the neces- gity of every mombor being instructed in the fundamentsl and Secriptural doctrines of the Christian religion s opposed to 4 reliance upon traditional notions. Dr. Dongan Clark thocght that he gould pro- Ppose two o thres questions that would, if prop- erly answered, do much more to reveal the spir- itual condition of the Church. He would ask, ** Dost thou believe in theSonof God ? ™ ' Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed ? " and, “* Are you now bringing forth the fruita of the Spirit 7" Ho would be glad to know what proportion of the members of the vearly meet- 1og had been converted. and thought that it was a common thing for the Apostles to ask the new- ly~converted if thoy had also received the second baptism. He then described, m & very clear and forcibls manner, the Quaker concep- tion of the baptizing power, by which those who received it are enabled to impress men's minds with the truth of tho Goepel, and win them to Christ, declaring that it does uot depend on in~ tollectusl attainments oroutward conditious, but in often given to very simplo men. Dr. Clark is one of the wost thoroughly-educated men in the Society, or, for that matter, in the country, aud is himaself 8 striking illustration of the value of thet culture which he declares to e unneces- sary in order that a man msy be & true Gospel minister. I donot nuderstand, however, that Le by any means uudervalues the advautages of & thorough education. Eight new meetings have becn established during the yesr,—an evideuce of growtl,—and about twenty-five individuals have been recom- mended as ministers. Perbaps I ought to ex- plain that any member of tho Society uf Friends is at liberty co presch I an ordmary meeting for worstup, but those who do 50 most aceepta- bly are usually officially recognized. uftar x time, a8 endowed with u giftin che munistry, A rousing TEMPERANCE MEETING was held yesterday afternoon, which was ad- dressed by = number of promineut Friends, in- cludiug séveral Indics who have been actively engaged in the crasade, 'I'he meeting was closad by a stirring speech from the Hon.

He is now = candidats for :Le State Senate, znd hin election i consideied certain, notwithstanding tbe efforts which are being made to defeat Lun by the liquor interest and Democrate. ‘The union of the laller with the Grangors bas not resulted in strengthenivg their ranks as much as it wus expected wonld bo the case, se, from the preseut appearauces, the whole organization 13 likely to bo torn to pieces on account of this unnatural sllisuce. Baxter's oratory is of the sort which muat be peculiarly effective among the farmers, and be is very actively at work iu the canvace. His speoch to the Friends yesterday, was mainly in reference to the necessity of legiglation to complete any moral reformation; eud be nrged them most vehemently to do their duty at the ballot-box. The Friends are very definitaly and almost un- snimously commitied to the most radical opinions in regard to temperance, and_ will be eatisfied with nothing short the eutire sup- presaion of the liquor traflic. While this is truo bere, it is well known tuvat the members of the Society in England are many of them brewers : a0d if they were in this country, we should call same of thew saloon-kespers. W, C. H.

In tho fourth the Ath- lotics wade three runs, While McGeary was on third he was crowded by Augon, who ran from second, forcing McGeary, but the Mutnal pitcher Lecame coufused at this point and neglected to put out McGeary, touching Anson instesd, who was rooted to the bace, Mac afterwards coming bome.

To the Kditor of The Chacago I'ribune: Siz: ln your issucof this date, I noticea communication from ‘* Fair Play,” making in- uiry why it 18 that Bodite was not entered in the race for Wednesdsy, with Gloster, Fullerton, and the Maid. Your answer, thet the parties controlling those tires horees would listen to mo proposition tnat Bodine should enter with them, is no doubt cor- rect, and for the reasons stated, namely, that ho might make too large a holein the purso offer- ed.—they wishing to secure the entirs emonnt 1 think no one should blame the gentlemen for wishing to carry off all the money they can 1n- duce the Doxter Park managers to give them, or should the Dexter Park managers bo cen- sured for inducing the tlires horscs above named, by a good liheral sum. to stop hero and sbow up their atylo of hippodroing, whether tho thing pays such managers or not. It is all their own business, and I sball not object. Bat the pablic aro curious for an explanation, which you have no doubt auancred quito correctly, ns Iar as it goes, and I will add but this : Mr, Magsar called 1ipon me Tuesday, the 30tn ult., inquiring whether I wonid enter Bodine in & 1ace with Gloster and Fullerton, if he should succeed in §Dtfing the consent of the owners to etop here. gave Mr, Mansur to undetstand that § would enter Bodine with them; but to my surprise, 83 well as to that of the friends of Bodibo, who have lcng desired to seo him in a contest with those Liorses when they should sppear at Dex- ter Park, the owners prefor to kesp clear of this horss. 'The mnggestion you male, that an at- tempt will Le made to bring the threo horses— Gloster, Fullertvn, and Bodine—together Thars- day afternoon, will probably turn out about the samo a8 tho attempt oo Mr. Mansur's part snd mine to bring them togsther Weduosday ; and no doubt for the samo reasons.

He will probably meko his intentions more defi- nitely kuown in a few days.

Dpesia Qe x:!)u, Teru, Sept. 9, 1874, ‘We Liave been singularly free from our accus- tomod earthquake-shocks the pastfew weeks ; but, a8 if to make up for our lack of internal outburste, wehavo had our periodical rovolution, and our civil and military disturbances bave been veory formidable. This people are strangely like tho country they are born in,—dreamy and ee- rious, a8 all dwellers by the sea invariably are ; explosive and violent ; given to revolutions and political wars; oxactly in keeping with the fierce volcanic fires that break through the thin crusts of earth upon which we tread. No matter how capable and faitbful the re- tiriug President may be,—be he ever so firm in executive ability, renowned for financial sagaci- ty, governcd by the purest interests, and anxious 1o promote only the best and wisest madsires, —yet, about every two years, and oftencr than two yeara latcly, a diseatisfled, vicious, clasa of those out of office,—living lives of idlenoss and gaming, brought to all kinds of devices to keep up a rospectable living, and daily selling articlos of clothing, jewelry, and houschold faroitare (by sendiog out sorvants to_disposs of them),—men formerly in the Custom- House, or drawing & revenme from some other offito under Government; bt who have beon tarned off by a change in the Admio~ istration,— grown desperaté by the bad brandy of the country, and by their very utwillingness to ecgage in soy docent labor, meet in secret places, organize secrat companies, like the Ku- Klux of your osn South, sud keep adding new members to their conspiracy, until the onportune bour has arrived, when, maddened by fancied wroogs, and rendercd desperate by drink, thoy rush upon tho President 83 he comes from the Chamber of Deputies, or in the seclusion of his own home, and, poignard in hand, STAB MIM TO DEATH, and thus creato a new Governor, and & chance fur themselves under the newer Administration. Prosidents have bad to fles for their lives; have been notified to leave; have been shot and stabbed. The last President, Balta,—tha best Pora ever bad, his Government being promotive of tho best jvteresta of the country, financially, educatiounlly, aud morally,—wis s28assinated in & most cowardly and brutal manner by dranken fx—_omda)s, jealous of his coursge and popn- arity. p T ‘shall not repeat the shocking detaits of Bulta's death, us they are sull of. ecent oceur- rence; but I shall give vou tne iatest news of the attempted s-sassination of our President Pardo, and of tho utter failure in this instance to kill our worthy leader, and establish' an in- tended rovolution, It was well known, not only to Pardo himself, butto members of the Cabi- net, that aconspiracy was forming, aad that an attempt wastobe mada to wrest the relns of gov- ernment from the hands of the present leaders aad establieh suother form of government. At the time of the olection of Pardo, it was deemed a matter of policy, and safety as well, to electz plain civilian, o man from smong the people, 1ustoad of » politician, as.bad been for- merly done. It wasthought that the peoplo would be couciliated by thia attemps to elect a popatar civihag, and that these political disturbances would thus e dispelled. Accordibgly, after the fearful murder of Balta, the speedy vengeanco dealt to his mssas- cing, ~ the peopie wero consulted, and in the selection end election of .the quiet, inof-~ fensive Perdo, every one seemed satisfled. But these explosive people, who are daily walking over smouldering volcanic fires, were not satis- fied to let oven a leader selected by themselves rule and guide them. Not many weoka ago anon- ymous tetters (those sure signs of = tralcor and comard) bezan to reach Pardo, informing him of the existence of asecret organized force of trait- orw, aud giving him warning that be would GO TI'E BAME DLOODY ROAD that many of the Presideuts before him had goue.—tie roads at once to grlory and to death ! But Pardo, being a born Peruvian, and thore- fore quit as well eccustomed to these littlo political outbursts za to the earthquake-sensa- tions of his country, paid no more attention to the letters than to the ehocks of earthquake, and at last, from the frequency of both, prob- ably got used to both of them, or took them phulosophically. . Not ¢ poor Balta, who was a military man. When be received threatenivg letters, ‘he im- mediately sot spies to work to tind ont ahd enter tho very dens of these traitors, overhear their incondiary speeches, ascertain their nxmes and standiog, and then bring them fo & speedy arrest, imprisonment, and banishment of cxecution; and thus _ broke op, for the time, at least, the - hot-bed of treason. Ho doubled his armies and his ships- of-war, increzsed bis officers and guards, and thought. by such measures, by instant action, and by increased, ever-ready soldiery, to frighten the conspirators into subjection. Vain bofo, As #oon could he command the earthquake-forces, the tidal-waves, 8s to 1?ueu this desperate peo- vle, and these disloyal, cowardly malcontents. Ho was DRUTALLY MURDERED at the last. But our present President heeded neither threstening letters nor ontbreaks amorg the people ; and, strangely enough, after such ex- smples a8 he bas bad, he never even 2dded oue more man to his personal body-guard. Perhaps be knew not who to trust. The morning of the 22d of August dawned cloudy and ominous, * Regular earthquake-weather,” said the inhebitants, with a frightened look at the sombre sky. At four o'clock p. m. Congress had adjourned, and each member sought his servant sud his steed 1o waiting. Gronps of determined, angry-looking men h athered in front of the Government Palace,—the veritable Palace of Pizarro (used now ad & council chamber),—and, within the very deep, dark archway where the ag8assing of Pizarro secreted themselves, bodies of mon were forming, with sulien as- poct. A mossengor- was semt to wam Pardo; ~and his friends nrged him to provide himself with an extra escort, and to return to his homo in a close coach. But Pardo utteily refused any escort or sid. Down the long, shaded ulcove of the Portales he passed, graudly dignifled, and watled slowiy along, when, at tbe corner of the Calle de Correos (Post-Office street), a tall, dark man, leaning on the huge mounted canndn, and wrapped 1o a loose, great coat. FIRED DIRECTLY IN THE FACE of the advancing President. The President dodged tho revolver, and the bullet whistled by his ear. This sbot seemed to give the sicual. Squads of men, loiterlug sus- piciously uocar, began to fire, and the uproar ~ became farious. President Pardo bravely ran towards his antagonist, 88 if to dis- arm him, and apoliceman ou duty and fortunately near, felled tho would-be sssassin with his ¢lub ; bat he raised bimself, and, with the des- eration of hate, stll continued firiog. Mr. avis, an American merchent, and the police- man now fetl upon and secured the man, and the guard of honor immediately fired a volley xmong the confedarates. The powder from tho revolver alightly burned the face of the police- man, and one of the gusrds received a ball in Ius Ence from the assassins, who soon fled in great disorder. The conspirators, sevonty-five and more in number, weore military oflicers on half-pay or on tho rotired-Lst, snd excase their atfempt upon the lifs of Pardo by saying that the Administra- tion has been working aud acting against the Church party and church interesta (by driving the Jesuits from Poru), and that their battle waa for * religious liberty.” Later in the evening, the people, who bad fled in alarm, and doubly barricaded their doors sud ‘windows, met in immense concouree before the President’s balcony. He came out :fo the verauda, and, with uncovered he: “ac- knowledged tho goodness of God in preserving him: declaniog that his death would have plunged Poru into civil war and anarchy, and that therefore, and not because his Jife was of any importance, (iod had beld His mantle of pro- tection over bim. snd protected Peru from such calamities.” This feeling spoech was received wmth Y *iv1vas,” loud and prolouzed. Mass-meetinga were held, impromptu torchlight-proceesions gotten up, and the peopie renewed their loyalty to Pardo and their feulty to Peruvian indepeadence. And so ended tLiv last attempt on the Presi- dent's life. Peruvian stars shine in their trop- ical splendor as I writo, and the sea breaks on the shore in measured cadence, and we all feel safe until another moruing, unless visited by an earthquake shock during the silent hours of the night, which would be & fit ending’ to such'an eventful dar.

Itwould have been well, when he was proparing his statement, bad he remembered the old proverb which says » certain kind of people should have very long memories. B An English View of Mr. Beecher’s Preaching. A writer in the London Hornetsays in a sketch descriptive of Beecher's style of preaching: +Walkiog up and down, gesticulating freely, he soon warmed to his work, and lashed bimself in- to an oratorical frenzy. The resources of his voc:.bnhg Beemed illimitable. Henever paused for a word, but poured forth a flood of glowing sontences mth an energy and rapidity perfecily marvelous. With the reporters plyiog their quick pencils befors bim, and knowing that lus sormon would confront him in cold print on the morrow, he ventured upon the most astonishing extemporancous illustrations and motaphors, buildiug them up, phrass by phrase, with s delicacy, fluency, and decision which extorted admiration and respect. Now hs ecattered a shower of polished epigrams ; now ho drew ont long-labored seatences, 2s a conjurer drawn ribbons from his mouth ; ow he pleaded with his congrogation, while tears rolled down hia cheeks ; now be thundered against sio, with flashing eyes and his whole frame quiver- ibg with electric life. As he toased bimself about the platform, his long bair shaking aboat 1iis ghoulders, he irreaiatibly reminded you of a lion, and he often comploted the ressmblance by roaring like a lion. No one could sce him then without feeling that he was one of the Homeric Kings of men. No one could hear him then without fully appreciating the reason why his followers worshiped him in- stead of the God whom he profesead to preach. It mostnot be sipposed that Mr. Beecaer ever condescended to the vulgar tricks which report gu bope falsely) .attributes to Ar. Spurgeou. Ho never slid down the balusters, nor blew out a candle. His tricks were all oratorical, and, in a certain sense, legitimate. Nevertheless the ef- fact of his sermons was illegitimate; for you left tho church thinking a great deal of Mr. Beecher, but no more of religion. Tilton’s charges ex- plain this, by showing that tho sounding brass of the preacher's eloguence had no real heart -behind it. The sound was loud, becanse the brass wus hollow. Of the popularity of the display, however, thers could be no question. In Plymouth Church the c.ngre- gAt10n affectad no religious ecstasy,—they left that to their pastor, who was paid for it,—but they listened, and looked at the performance ad- minogly, , when s sentiment pleased them acticularly, they soplauded by clapping their Emdu. “This was not done 1ndecorously, nor did it seem inconaistent with the sort of religion which was beiog preached, and which the witty Americans have christened ¢Religion-boufTe!” Mr. Beecher liked to hear the applause ; 1o ou- couraged it; he maneavred for it. Upon bis nervous_ temperament it acted like a whip and spur; and we now know why he needed stimu- 1ants and excitement io order to preach accepta- bly." A Comical View of the Beecher Scane . aal; From Punch. . The alleged scandsl of gross immorslity im- puted to o popular preacher at New York has beeo decided by a Committee of Inguiry to have no foundstion. The reverend gontlemen is, of course, to be congratulated on this result. But, ou the other hand, 1t ehould not be considered that bis income is derived from pew reuts, sud that if the accusation bronght againat him had been found to be true, and he had gons cn Ereu:bmg novertheloss, his chapel would have eon crammed to suffocation every Sunday. THE INDIAXNS. Affairs at the Red Clond and Spoited - Tail Agencicns Fort Lanawig, Wyo. T., Oct. 8,.—The Hon. W. I: Steele and Paymaster Stanton, U. 8. returned from the north to-day, having visited the posts and agences of Red Clond and Spotted Tail. Tha troops at these places will be in their ‘winter-quarters by the middle of October or the 1st of November. The quarters at Red Cloud are pormanent. Those st Spotted Tail are Jow hute. The sagencies are both in Nebrasks. Spotted Tail is 13 miles, and Hed Clond 25 wiles, south uf #ho north lme, and the Iatter 20 miles oast of the west iine. A vast doposit of foesils was dis- covered 10 miles north of Red Cloud, and scat- tored over a space about 6 miles square. Ilio- maine of the two-horned rhinocerous and many other animals and reptiles cover the ground. A large number of Northern Sioux, under Black Twin, wore near Red Cloud, on their way into that agency for the winter. If they will registor and be counted, the Agent will ask authority to issue Tations to them, and endeavor to ktep them near the sgency. The post at Spotted Tail 18 called Camp Sheridan. A semi-weekly mail has been established between Cheyenae and the ‘sgencies. The distance from Clond to the Biack Hills gold-fields is about 50 milss, through a fine country.
