IHE FAMINE IN PERSIA. accounts
that have for some time been slowly mr.
irving in British India, lis stated, provo
conclusivoly that famine of tho most ap-
pnlling description prevails in Persi;.
LII all parts Of India relief committees
have been formed and subscriptions have
been libornlly contributed. Tho accounts
from Alcshod, the capital Of the Pro-
vince of khorassan, in Northeast Persia,
state that during the six months prccel-
ing April, $4,000 persons had died from
starvation-432 in one day, and that
parents had been detected eating their
own offspring. Tho renewed aud inces-
SAINT incnrsions Of the Tutkomans hnd
rendered tho whole country unsafe, and
had greatly aggravated tho general dis
tress. The Turlomans in ono incursion
arc reported to have carried of 400 per-
sons into slavery. at Herat the effects
OF scarcity as well as of tho siege were
also experienced, and several thousand
persons IN that city have died of stnrva-
ton. at Ispaham and Teheran tho ia
mine was very severe, but tile worst &C.
counts, 1t is reported, have come from
the South OF Persia. Serious bread
riots have taken place at Shiraz, whore
not one-eiighth OF the population, it is
reported, hns been left alive. The rov.
ing tribes in, the vicinity have taken ad
vantage OF the general distress to rob
and plunder without distinction of noo
or condition Of life. From Bushire the
most painful accounts Of all have come.
but this, it is stated, is due to the fact
that there are more Europeans in that
city to observe and report.

OF all humbugs, make believes and
false pretences over palmed off upon o
people, the shoes now worn by the
young women OF the period occupy q
first position. In aDsurdity of oonstruc-
ton, in waste of raw material, in fail
ure to adapt means to the accomplish
mcnt of desired ends, these shoes are
fearfully and wonderfully progressive.
They comply with the demands of n
most absurd fashion, and while they do
so, they utterly destroy all the grace and
elasticity of true womnn's walk, all the
poetry Of wonlan's movements in the
parlor or on the street, and all the COM
fort and ease which nature attaches to
harmonious pedestrial operations. A
heel three inches high is not natural
heel; while it gives increase of height, it
adds monstrosity Of movement. It dis
arranges the natural centre of gravity,
throws the body forward to accommo-
date itself to al artificial standpoint be-
noath the centre and instep, and leads
to such self-torture and self-cnricature
as would be ridiculous to tie fair crea-
lures. if they were but to zee themselves
as others see them. No really graceful
object in nature is ever so chnngod for
the worse, rs fashionable woman in her
pannicrs and high-hoelcd shoes. That
mincing tread, MS if she were stepping
over hot crate bars, and that forward
stoop, to display at tho same time full
breast and nh exaggerated hustle, sue
ceeds in giving her the shape of M ami
mated md by No means ornamental s.
Her feet, of cour }, become dcformed by
bunions, callosi' IS md deformed joints,
as punishment for her voluntary yiola-
ton OF the laws of nature. Let woman,
the New Orleans Times suggests, absolye
herself from the slavery OF fashion, be-
fore sho demands nn enlargement of
her political privileges.

The CYCLONE IN GEoRGIA-IMMESsE
DAMAGE TO CRoPs AND RAILROADS.
Augusta Constitutiondlist, Of the 9th, says: !:
Last Wednesday, terrific gale, ao-
comnanied by heavy rain, swept over
the country, between Milledgeyllle and
Macon, prostrating tho cotton and blow
ing down fences. The floods did great
damage to tho Macon and Augusta Rail
road and the Central Railrond. On the
latter, the track wns washed up for some
distance, and several culverts and trestlo
works were carried away. The passen-
ger train which left Augusta ut l2 o'clock
Wednesday, on this rond, was stopped
ut Roberts Station by employees of the
road, who gave tho conductor informn-
tion Of the break in front, and almost at
tho samo timo news was received of the
damage which had happened to the
track in the rear Of the train since its
passage, thus cutting it off completely.
The cyclone extended MS far down as
Burko County, doing great injury to the
cotton in that section, and was moro Sc
we're than my storm experienced there
for years. Other Counties yet to hear
from, no doubt, have been equally da-
magol. This storm has, perhaps, dono
greater injury to the crops than tho cy.
clono which devastated the coast some
time since, as it passed over larger
tract OF country and Immediately through

JGP1SCOPAL SECESSION.-MeutiOn has
been made Of the action OF New York
congregation Of the Protestant Episco.
pal communion, presided over by Rev.
Geo. e. Thrall, which had adopted a
now ritual, according to volume called
the "Union Prayer Book, lately intro
duced by their rector, and which, ap-
parently, relies upon its merits to com-
mend it to use, rs it does not purport to
be sanctioned by my constituted 'au-
thority" whatever. A vnriety of depart
uros, chiefly verbal from the old Epis-
copal Book Of Common Prayer, are
taken, chiefly with the view of simplify
Sug, it but two appear to involve what
will perhaps be generally considered
matter of doctrine. In tho Athanasian
creed tho words II acknowledge one
baptism for the remission of sins" are
omitted. and the other affirmation, II
believe in one catholic and apostolic
church" is rendered II bolieve in one
,holy church universal" In the rito for
baptism the words ''and do sign him
with the sign Of the cross" are omitted,
besides several substitutions and simpli-
fcations. Surprise has been expressed
that Bishop Potter has taken no notice
OF this matter within his episcopal iuris-
diction. The explanation is that the
Bishop has gone to the country, and
will not return till about the 18th in
otant.

of the business, and by study and application
make perfect success of it but the same
may be said of other trades and professions
And yet the more natural and proper way is
to obtain the results Of the experience of all
past ages, by working for time under the
direction of some one standing in the foremost
ranks in the profession. This course, in the
grea, majority of eases, will prove to be the
cheapest
