THECHIL KIDNAPPING CASE in Philadelphia
appears to US an enigma, not only on account OF
the iuprobability of such crime beiog com,
mtted on the slender chance OF obtaining a
ransom of $4,000 for the return of the child
but also from the apathe,ic eoolness with which
the Philadelphia papers treat the affair. Wheth.
er this leticence proceeds FROM a tear that pub
licity will defeat the efforts of the detectives OF
because the papers are suspicious IN regard to
the whole transaction, there are no means OF
Judging, but it is evident that the outrage, II
it was committed, creates 20 such widespread
and active indignation there as it would in
Baltimore. Yesterdays papers, tor instance,
are entirely silent on the matter, except the
publication u the Ledger Personals Of the

THE EFFECTS OF BAD CoMPANY.-A
few days ago Southerner, who is not be-
yond the shady side of thirty-five, was one
of the band of prisoners in the dock of
New York Police Court, and on complaint
of young woman of no considerable grace,
was committed to Blackwell's island for a
time. The accused, but a few years ago,
was one of the brightest intellectual ge-
muses. of the South, rising politician in
one of the Carolinas, and served as an Off
Ger in the cOn.e,leracy. The war ended as
disastriousiy for him as for others, and he
sought To better his fortunes in the North :;
and since the war, a portion Of his time,
held the position of drummer for one of
our largest mercantile houses. But three
years ago, however, he became infatuated
with 4 woman Of the world, the twain be-
gan to lead Il rather suspicious and not al
together strictly honorable life She soon
diyesteG him of money, reputation, posi-
ton and friends, and then deserted her
lord to his fate. Needless tn add, the cou-
pie quarreled, and in default of bail, to
keep the peace, the Southerner was sent to
prison. Here he suffered the disgrace of
commencement until Monday, when some
kind friends, who had befriended him in
other days, sought and procured his re-
lease.

TERRIBLE STATE OF THINGS IN C-ESAREA
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DYING FROM
STARVATION.
\ series of interesting letters on the hOr-
rors of the famine have appeared in the Le-
want Herald They are from the Rev. W.
\. Farnsworth, attached to the American
mission asCesarea. He takes very gloo-
my view Of the future. ! make several eX-
tracts -
There is really gIcat deal of suffering
from the lack of necessary food in CHsarea
and the large towns near that city. The
same is true of Everek of Nidge, but when
we compare these places with the other re-
nions above named we feel that, as yet,
they have hardly been touched by the IA
mine In all the villages very many, pro-
badly much more than Une-half the pOpu-
atiou, are destitute Of bread, and for many
weeks have lived almost entirely on such
wild herbs as they could gather in the fields
and along the road sides. From the Ak
Dagh and the BaZook regions very many
have fed to Sivas and regions to the East
and there beg their miserable living from
door TO door, while large numbers from
the Resin and the kir Shchir regions have
in the same way thrown themselves upon
C;rsarca and the surrounding towns and
the peoj Ic from the vicinity of Nidge have
gone in crowds to the regions Of Tarsus
and Ardaua to secure a more honorable
living by cleaning in the very rich grain
fields OF Cilicia. Thus this whole dis
trict is in a great measure depOpulatcd.
While these people thus become n great
burden i'll the regions TO which they have
fled their own houses and vineyards and
fields to 90 to ruin. Sad indeed is the de
struction Of houses. Built of mud, with
earth roofs they have Il little timber that
may be used for fuel. In many cases the
owners, driven to the last extremity, tore
down their houses before leaving them, and
used the timbcrs for fuel or sold them to
procure bread. Many others left their
homes uniniured but no sooner is a house
deserted than the neighbOrs dig into the
roofs for the timber Multitudcs OF these
people, were they now TO return to their
villages, would find their houses uninhab-
liable.
TERRIBLE STATE on TIHNGs.
SoOngoorloO is a town of about ! 900
houses, and the residence of 4 c0mdcam.
The scenes here the past winter have al
most, if not altogether, equalled the worst
of the Persian famine. The Governor told
me that the statistics which they had
gathered, showed some 5000 deaths from
starvation in that kaza. Were those in
cluded who have come in from other dis
tricts, Salman, Keskin, &c, and Lave died
there it would greatly swell, perhaps

Don't ABUSE THE OLD IIORSE.-If
the faithful servant that has worked for
you so many years is not quite as strong
or fleet as i'll years gone by, perhaps he is
worth as much To you as Il anybody.
Good care and generous feeding will make
even an old horse more valuable than if
starved or abused. If your business re-
quires younger or smarter horse flesh, keep
the old one for the women or children to
drive. Old acquaintances are often safer
than new ones. If you cannot keep both,
give the old one TO some old farmer, who
you know will be kind to him, with the pro-
mise that be shall not trade him off to some
brutal master, but will keep him as long as
he is worth keeping, and the kindly lay
him away where he will be beyond the
reach of hunger or pain.
Many an old horse, If he knew his situa-
ton would thank his owner to take away
his life as burden too heavy to bear. We
have got into the habit of being both too
careless and TOO cruel to old horses in This
country. We owe it to them as our SER
wants, as well as to ourselves as human be-
ings, that we see to it that our horses are
not necessarily abused or neglected as soon
as they begin to show signs of old age.

AJAPANEsE WEDDISG.--The Japanese,
not caring to be burdened for half their
lives with the consequence of indulging,
against their will, in the eXtravagant fes-
tivities necessary for getting married in the
orthodox manner, resort TO 4 species of
| elopement to avoid pecuniary embarrass-
ment An honest couple have marriage
able daughter, and the latter is acquainted
with fine young fellow, who would be 4
capital match if only he possessed the
necessary means of making his lady-lOve,
and her parents, the indispensable wedding
parents, of keeping open house for week.
One fine evening the father and mother,
returning from the bath, find the house
empty the daughter is gone. They make
inquiries in the neighborhOod, no one has
seen her; but the neighbors hasten 20 offer
their services IN seeking her with her dis
tracted parents. They accept the offer, and
head a solemn procession, which goes from
street to street, to the lovers door. In
vain does he hide behind his panels, turn a
deaf ear he is at length obliged to yield to
the opportunities of the besiegining crowd.
He opens the door, and the young girl,
drowned in tears, throws herself at the feet
of her parents, who threaten to curse her.
Then comes the Intervention of charitable
friends, deeply moved by this spectacle a;
softening of the mother, the proud and in
exorable attitude Of the father, the combined
elOquence of the multitude, employed to
soften his heart ; the lovers endless pro-
testations of his resolution to become the
best of sons-in-law. At length the father
Yields, his resistance is overcome he raises
his kneeling daughter, pardOns her lover,
and calls him his son-in-law. Then almost
as By enchantment cups of saki circulate
through the assembly. Everybody sits
down upon mats; the two culprits are
placed in the centre of the circle large
bowls of saki are handed to them and,
when they are emptied, the marriage is
recognized and declared to be validly con-
tracted in the presence of sufficient num-
Der of witnesses, and is registered the next
day by the proper officer without any diff
fculty. Truly this is an ingenious way out
of difficulty, and clearly shows that the
japanese have an innate talent of comedy

seems TO have destroyed all the finer feel
ings of humanity. As l was assured by
many Of the inhabitants bodies have been
allowed 70 remain as many as fou- days in
the streets, and the dogs have partially de-
VOured them. While this seems too bad to
be true ! can yet hardly doubt it, for while
/ sat conversing with the Governor heard
orders given for the burial of two bodies
that had been lying at the edge of the town
two days already awaiting intermen,
The people of the town, as we'll as stran-
gers, have been driven to the greatest
straits. Their selling and buying have
both been at 4 ruinous rate. In The winter
copper dishes were sold at six piastres, the
oak and bread bought at eight, by weight
only three fourths as much as copper
Leaving Soongoorloo, the next places
visited was kaya Dbl, in the Salman dis
tricts, about twenty miles south of Soon
goOrloo. In that village Of fifty to sixty
houses, | was assured that more that 100
persons have already died of starvation.
One man with whom | cOnversed assured
me that OF his five sons four were already
dead and the fifth could live but a very
short time. Both the Judge and the D,p-
dir are authority for the following facts =
In that village a camel died in the stable

out, the people rushed to secure portions

people dug it up, and he was obliged to set
a guard to keep them from it. Such as

so LIVING TO RURY TIE DEAD.
Many of the villages of this district are
entirely depopulated; ; others are nearly 50.
The Judge told me that about nine miles
nearly west of Kaya Dbl, in the village OF
Beraklu, formerly containing some 400
souls, but - were left, and that in that
village body had already been awaiting
intcrment ten days, and that people must
be brought from other Villages to perform
this last rite Of humanity. This same in
dividual told me that in the village of Ne
fes KeOy, five hours from YOzgat, which
occupies the site of the ancient city of Ia
via, in one room he found three little chill
dren the eldest perhaps ten years of age.
There, with no one to watch over them or
to hear their last means, the poor little
things lad died and there were none to hu-
ry them All that | saw and heard in all

distance of 126 miles, served TO impress

famine. | spent Sunday at Ak Serai,
and during those twenty-four hours at least
four persons died from starvation.
