THE TERRIBLE FAMINE IN INDIA.
letter from Agra, under date of February 81 ST
says:-,ln the neighborhood of the city food is dis
trlouted every morning to large number of beg
pars' from whom there is imperatively required
this qualification, that they are to be blind, or
iame or decrepid, or rednced by famine to such a
degree OF weakness that labor is impossible The

dans-is distributed in the presence of one or two
OF the European residents, who under take the task
IN turn; ard by insisting somewhat vigorously on
the principle of exclusion just mentioned it has
hitherto been eontrived to relieve all who strictly
come within the prescribed category who nresent
themselves. Certainly, if the object of the contri
vance bad been to collect together the most appaI
ing and heartsickening exhibition of human misery
possible, no triumph could be more complete
Very many are blind, an affection very common
here, and which is attributable, as Imagine, to
the intense glare of the sun, whose power exceeds
.hat Whlch he displays in more northerlv lattudee
IN hight as much as it does in heat. Then there
are crppeS, disfgured BY every accident that hone
Is helr to- and every distortion reconcileable with
animal life; lepers IN every stage of their nalady;
children in arms, changed by the want of thci2
proper nutriment, or possibly By the starvation OF
their mother, previous to their birth, into NINA
ture old men, with sharp and grotesoue features
restless and piercing eyes, and that peculiar ex-
preston of experienced wordlineSs which is some
times seen in the c0unteuances of the monkey
tribe, and in very aged and crafty nisers
| Chlidren are sometimes brought In an advanced
stage OF smallpox. Among those who are neces-
sariy excluded there are of course some so nearly
approaching the required standard of feebleness as
to be almost admitted; and in very manv and es-
pecially the old, the prolonged famine has so re-
duced their fesh or rather consumed it, that their
limbs are literally scarcely anything but bone You
could almost span mans thigh with finger and
thumb; and when, happens occasionally their
rags fall off them in the crush you detect the struc-
ture OF the bones, developed to an extent which |
should never have thought compatible with life
and that perpendicular fall of the thigh bones from
their articulation in the pevis, which is the most
striking feature in the skeleton.
They are, in fact, living skeletons; and not al
| ways that. One day, man who had succeeded in
reaching the enclosure, and obtaining admittance,
sat down with the rest ate his food, then retired a
little way apart, and lay down and died. Another
day the members of the committee, leaving the
| garden after the distribution found two corpses
| laid at the gate. They had been on their way
but their strength failed them just before they
reached the goal. Not unfrequently they begin to
sink after entering the ground, and cannot be
| reused to take food, except by Stimulant in the
form of little brandy or rum; which, however.
usually has the desired effect.
One day man was observed Juggling along with
NJ MN "a moderate sized parcel, which, reaching
the feeding place, he laid carefully on the ground
and covered up in ragged garment. 1t proved to
be-his mother. The old woman, who had become
almost insensible, had doubled up her limbs as
children will on cold nights, when they 90 to
sleep, and her weight being exactly that Of her
oones, was easily carried by tolerably Young
man. They had come from Delhi, where things
are far worse than they are here, and people wan

this case, however, the administration of dose of
rum had the desired effect, and the poor old crea-
ture was snatched from the jaws of death in time
to take her food and live-for another day. The
number of persons relieved has increased at AGRA
from 600 to 1000 or !, 400 daily.
