FAMINE IN INDIA,

It appears from the recent transactions OF
the British India Society, that within the last
seventy.three years no less than sixteen de-
solating famines have occurred, and that too,
in a country the soil Of which is allowed to DO
one Of unexampled fertility, and the resources
OF which it cannot be denied, if properly man.
aged, would be fully adequate to all the de-
mands Of its teeming millions. The dates at
which these famines are said to have occurred
are 1865, ITO, l7s2, 1892, 1903, 1904, 1879.
1920, 1924, 1929, 1882, 1888, 1886, 1887, 1888,
and 1889. Some of the earlier Of these lam

to those of the last twenty years, which have
been time of profound peace, no such cause
can be assigned. The accounts which are given
of the famine Of 1888 are appalling in the ex-
treme. At Agra x, 900 pining wretches were
fed by the bounty Of the public on the 18th
April; and between the lst and 10Th of March
1854 infrm and sightless creatures were fed
in the same manner. So great were the rava:

of men and cattle, and the rivers of the Jumma

TREASURY NOTES AND SPECIE CIRCULARS.
We zee it stated in the New York Wing
papers, that difficulties in the money market
exist, in consequence of transactions made by
some of the country Banks, with the Federal
Government. as to Treasury notes.
On inquiry, we find that no such notes have
been issued to a-sir,g'e' bank IN the state OF
New York, except one, and that only to the
amount of few thousand dollars, instead oi
many millions, as is represented.
Another statement is, that the banks are
exposed to drain for entering land under the
new order of Government. But we learn that
no new order has been issued, on that subject,
since the repeal of the specie circular in 1888,
and that any Difficult les which now arise in
the receipt of bank paper, are such as have
aIways existed, ifsoue Of it is not at par, or
equivalent to specie, where it is deposited or

A New VARIETY MULBERRY TREE.-It is sta
ted by correspondent Of the Hartford Conn.,
Congregationalist, that two mulberry trees
about four feet high have just been sold in that
neighborhood for two hundred and seven dollars
They are supposed to be new variety sprung
from the native red mulberry. Although 1t Is
greatly inferior to the multicaulis in temperate
or warm climates, it will stand the climate OF
New England better, and such is the rage for
silk culture in that region that the hope of this
new variety suiting them better than uny other
has caused the two small specimens oft referred
to, bring the extraordinary price of more than
500 doIla.s each. The leaves ure represented
to be larger than those Of any other mulberry in
this country except the multicaulis, and worms
fed on them are said to make as good silk as
those fed on the white mulberry.

proved, that in every part Of the United States,
silk might be proftably produced, and that all
that was required to add this most invaluable
article to the list of American staples, was diff.
fusion Of its practicability ard prohtableness,
together with such instruction In the art, as
would enable the people to produce it.: For this
purpose this journal was established. 1t has now
been published seven months. and we hatter
ourselves that it has done much towards accom-.

it has not done enough; its circulation ID TOO

are now subscribers, to exert their influence with
their friends and neighbors to induce them T. De.
