SUFFER1NGs IN SCOTLAND The suf-
ierings of the poor in the Highlands is
very great.
Respecting Por,ree and it's immediate
nelghborhood. the Rev. G.. Macdonald
writes: "There are 27 families, consist
ing Of no individuals, who have not
single article Of food within their DWELL
ings. have found nearly 700 persons
who have ching earthly but waterv TO-
tatoes, without a grain Of meal In this
state Of destitution, ard without aid from
their benefcient neighbors in the south,
my poor Pensioners have no other pros
pect before them but famine, distress, and
premature dissolution"
Another letter, dated 18th or February
says: "Of nearly 1000 souls in this
parish, 1916 are wholly without Provis-
ions. The rest are almost destitute The
kind Of food on which they now live is
better fitted to engender disease than to
afford nutrition. They are as much at
loss for clothing as for food"
The Rev. John Cameron, Minister of
Stornoway, in The district Of Lewis, de-
cIares in reference to his parish: 81, $50
souls will require relief till next autumn
I-l63 families are totally destitute of all
supplies of food the remaining number
stan in need of succor"
These ale but examples of many ex-
tracts which We find in the London papers.

A GOOD LAw.-The city council of

The tremendous fact mentioned at th.
meeting ofthe Port of Dublin Temperance
Society, that 96.3OO,OOO were last year
expended by the Irish nation on the bare
article OF whiskey; paying duty to the
crown, is certainly enough to account for
the poverty and Irregular conduct of the
lower grades Of the Irish popuIation.-
Newspaper.
And yet the government of Great Brit
ain like our own, will no doubt continue
to legaiize the traffic, and encourage drunk
enness and its consequent wretchedness
by law, to the amount ofthirty millions O
dollars annually, expended in whiskey
alone !-Zion'S Herald.
