angry resolves upon revenge, would be TO patch UP
truce, not to make peace. Count Bismarck may
now know from the mouth or Mir. Gladstone how
this matter Is viewed outside the German hnes.D
From The Gudhall last night, exclatms the Tele-

Famine among the Jews i'm Rus

The Jewish Messenger publishes a
circular from the Board of Delegates of
American Israelites, of which we extract
the following
Thousands of Israelites in the west of
Russia are at this moment august 1859, }
a prey to the horrors of famine. You
cannot picture to yourself the frightfnl
spectacle which this deplorable and more
than half decimated population presents
to the world. In the streets, in the syna-
gOgues, in the Botte Midraschinl, hun
dreds are to be seen daily dragging their
famished bodies along, and begging as
last favor, that some friendly hand should
put an end to their suferings. Even in
the schools We find the boys dying, side
by side with their masters, the girls ex-
piring in the arms of their mistresses.
Listen to brief narration of this fearful
and heart-rending catastrophe: At Tel
chen mother, maddened by the sight of
the sufferings endured by her children,
takes a knife and rips open her body, to
show that she had given everything to
her children and reserved nothing for
herself. At Purwine We see a mother,
whose children have brought her a knife,
asking her to cut them some bread with
it, plunge it into her heart At Schaulen,
an old woman stretched upon wretched
bed, refuses in her last hour the food
proffered her, saying "Give it to my
children, and when | am dead they will
find treasure that | have hidden for
them" The poor woman is no more,
theysfnd her treasure to consist of piece
Of dry bread, already half mouldy. Up
on his return from Kowno, where he had
gone to administer relief, the Rabbi
Ruff, preacher at Memel, exclaims in
answer to some inquiries put to him
''What have | seen? Alas, the bitter
and ineftaceable memories which carry
in my heart In hall where five hun
bred poor, miserable, emaciated children
were assembled, | saw piece of bread
brought in at midday, and each of those
famine-struck little beings rushed to eat
his share of it with the most terrible
avidity. Should those children have
survived for the morrow, they had moth
ing wherewith to satisfy the cravings of
their hunger. In every street famine
stalks fearlessly about.
