The Thurman Rebellion.

Late accounts from Southern Asia bring ad
dltonal accounts of the rebellion in Burmah.
The King. who has the right of choosing the
heir-appaTent among all the royal princes, had
conferred that honor upon his brother instead
of selecting his own son. The rebellion was
ing their uncle, the heir-apparent. They then
got possession Of the Kings only steamer, then
at Mandelay, and came down the river; stopping
about forty miles from the British frontier.
From the towns Oh the banks of the river they
made eXactions. and where refused, they burned
them down. But the officials who were in charge
either withdrew INTO the interior or fled to
British territory; there was no fraternizing, and
they have not succeeded in raising party.
The King holds the capital, which is some
what fortified, and there is no apparent dissatis-
faction around him. 1t is expected that he will
make his remaining son heir-apparcnt and the
rebel prisoners will have to leave the country.
The movement was so crude and Intellectual
that it is difficult to comprehend the motive of
the murder as there was no apparent cause of
the outbreak.

A Million Persons Starved to Death In
British India.

A Calcutta correspondent Of the London
Tines December 7, gives some painful details
of the recent famine IN the District of 0rissa. A
Government Commissioner has prepared a re-
port, of which it is said:--
"a picture more heart-rending, facts more
hideous, could not be given. The Commissioner
estimates the deaths IN Orlssa alone at 500, 600
to 600, 900, and In some places he admits that
three-fourths of the population have been car
rled off. OIissa had five millions. Add the
mortality of Midnapore, which was as severely
visited; of Canaan and Chota Nagpore, which
were terribly, yet more mildly dealt with; of
Calcutta, whose hospitals still tell SO sad tale;
and of the other districts, where the sequeLg, at
least of starvation, carried Off many, and re-
member that the deaths are still going on at
the rate of a hundred day, and you viii agree
with the rough estimate generally accepted
here that the number of victims will not be
under a million. In 1889, when as little was
done for relief as in 1866, the mortality in the
Jumna Doab was 800, 600. But the tale OF vic
tins in this 0rissa visitation mounts higher
than even that, as high as the greatest OF all
recorded famnes in India-that OF l770.n

So stout was he (writes q Paris correspondent)

more than was good for his heath. Whenever
the bishop was invited to dinner at a friends

TEE OIDER MILL.

U nder the blue New England skies,
Flooded with sunshine, valley lies:
The mountains clasp it, warm and sweet,
Like sum child to their rocky feet.
Three pearly lakes and hundred streams
Lie on its quiet heart of dreams.
It's meadows are greenest ever seen;
Its harvest fields have the brightest sheen:
Through its trees the sOftest sunlight shak el
= nd the whitest lilies gem its lakes.
I love, oh! better than words can tell,
Its every rock. and grove, and dell:
But most love the gorge where the rin
Comes down by the old brown cider mill.
Above the clear springs gurgle out,
And the upper meadows wind about;
Then join, and under willows flow
Roand kGolis where blue beech whip stock
grow,
To rest in a shaded pooi that keeps
The oak tree ciasped in its crystal deeps.
Sheer twenty feet the water falls,
Down from the old dams broke walls,
Spatters the knobby boulders gray,
And laughing, HES in the shade away,
Under great roots, through trout pools still,
With many tumble down to the mill.
All the way down the nut trees grow,
And squirrels hide above and below.
Acorns, beechnuts. chestnuts there
Drop all the fall through the breezy air:
And burrs roll down with urled.up leaves,
In the mellow light of harvest ewes.
For ever there the still, old trees
Drink wine of peace that has no lees.
By the road eide stands the cider mill,
Where lowland slumber waits the rill;
A great, brown building, two stories high,
On the western hill face warm and dry:
And odorous piles of apples there
Fill with incense the golden air:
And heaps of pumice, mixed with straw,
To their amber sweets the late flies draw.
The carts back up to the upper door.
And spill their treasures in on the floor;
Down through the teethed wheels they 90
10 the wide, deep cider press below;
And the screws are turned by slow degrees
Down on the strawlaid cider cheese;
And with each turn a fuller stream
Bursts from beneath the grOaning beam,
An amber stream the gods might sip,
And fear no morrow s parched lip.
But wherefore gods? Those ideal toys
Were sOullesS to real New England boys.
What classic goblet ever felt
Such thrilling touches through it melt,
As throb eclectric along q straw
When boyish lips the cider draw2
The years are heavy with weary sounds,
And their discord life's sweet music dro WINS;
But yet hear, oh! sweet, oh sweet,
The rill that bathed my bare, brown feet;
And yet the cider drips and falls
On my inward ear at intervals;
And lead at times in sad sweet dream,
To the babbling of that little stream;
And sit in visioned autumn still,
In the sunny door of the cider mill.
