two ways. making very bad or a very

FAMINE AND PEsTILENCE.-Priyaty
advices report that the famine and pesti-
lence in Persia have destroyed over 300,
600 lives, and that from appearances L.
000, 900 must perish. There seems no
way Of arresting the destruction.
Fearful misery prevails in Southern
Hungary. By the breaking of dams,
great tracts of'iarming lands have been
submerged; frequent storms have de
stroyed the fruit, and heavy taxes are
grinding the people to the very dust.
Agriculture, trade and industry in gen
eral are ruined. and famine is impend
ing.
The cholera is spreading alarninelv in
Russia, and Is extending eastward. Sew
eral cases have occurred in Berlin, and
several on shipboard at London. Pre-
cautionary measures are being taken
throughout Europe and in the Atlantic
cities IN this country against the ap.
proach of the dreaded peStilencc.

THE COMMUNISTS ARE CoMING.-The
French Government has given its qualified
assent to the Boston scheme for the emil
grafton of the Communist prisoners, who
are divided into three classes:
First-Violent persons and those guilty
of crimes, who are sentenced to hard labor
for life.
Second-Dapgerous persons, who are to
he sent to a penal colony, and to the third
class, a general amnesty will be granted,
in case of their voluntary emigration.
The last are permitted to go to Arizona,
the Government giving them transporta-

arms and subsistence for six months.
The number of Communists to be dis
posed of in one of these ways, should they
be found guilty,'is $4,000.

the cause of this sudden exodus, he soon

dough: She struggled to escape, and only
struggled to sink deeper, until this youth

We would like to grasp the hand of the
author of the following lines-a beautiful
gem, sparkling with homely eloquence-as
tender and touching as they are rare:
THE OLD-FAsH1oNED MoTHER,-Thank
God! some of us have an old-fashioned
mother. Not a woman of the period,
enameled and painted, with her great
chignon, her curls and hustle whose white
jeweled hands never have felt the clasp of
baby fingers; but a dear, old-fashioned,
s sIeeT deptSs the love iiehs e shone and
brown hair, threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek. Those dear
hands, worn with toll, gently guided our
tottering steps in childhood, and smoothed
our pillar in sickness; even reaching out
to us in yearning tenderness, when
spray of the river. Blessed is the memory
Of an old-fashioned mother. 1t floats to
us now, like the beautiful perfume of some
woodland blossoms. The music of other
voices may be lost, but the enhancing
memory of hers will echo in our souls for
forgotten, but hers will shine on until the
light from heavens portals shall glorify
our own. When in the fitful pauses of
busy life our feet wander back to the old
homestead, and crossing the welf-wOrn
threshold, stand once more in the low,
quaint room, SO nailoWeu oy ner presence,
how the feeling Of childish innocence and
dependence comes over us, and we kneel
down in the molten sunshine, streaming
through the western window-just where
long years ago we knelt by orr mothers
knee, lisping " Our Father" How many
times when the tempter lures rs on has the
memory of those sacred hours, that moth
er's words, her faith and prayers, saved III
from plunging into the deep abyss of sin
Years have filed great drifts between he
and rs, but they have not hidden from ou
sight the glory Of her pure, unselfish love

The TIcHBoRNE CASE. - The trial of
this extraordinary ease-of which a few
brief sketch-has been prorogued from the
9th of July to the 9TH of next November.
What.wil happen should the Judge or any
of the jurors die in the interval it is hard
to say. We suppose the whole proceedings
will have to be gone over again, and the
expenses will eat up the estate. The costs
are by some estimated at a thousand pounds
a day.
