The FAMINE IN PERsfA.-A terrible ac-
count of the famine in Persia, of which we
have heard by telegram, is given in the
Times Of India of May 13. The Bombay
journal says:
The famine in some parts of Persia is
severe beyond comprehension. Rain was
for long hopefully expected, but it came in
very measured quantity, and too late to
turn away the foe that was already at the
door. Thousands are said to have died by
the way side of sheer starvation, coupled
with the diseases it invariably brings in its
train. Most of the dead lie unburied-a
TACT which may be regarded as the sure
precursor of pestilence. At first, when
seif-preseryation by any ne cans whatever
became question to be decided, yea or
nay, the former alternative prevailed with
Mussnlmans, and more than one human
being is said to have been killed and eaten
oy them. Now, matters nave come to a
worse pass still fathers and mothers are
said to be devouring their own children. 1t
is stated that the sights to be seen, and not
to be avoided, in the neighborheod of Shi-
rag, are such that European residents will
not leave their own houses. Also, between
Shlraz and Bnshire, thousands of dead bod
les lie unbaried. Amid all these tales of
privation and death, how is it that we hear
nothing of measures of relief, except now
and again by the acknowledgment of the
donation of q few rupees in Bombay. What
