This 10 rather difficult question to
answer. There are in tho ces,sus re-
port for 1870, 33S different classes of
pursuits returned. just how many
of these could be called 'sindustriaI''
is nice question. But there are S.
9s2,47l engaged in agriculture, p
8+5,79s engaged in professions and
personal services; 1871, ,238 in trade
and transportation; 2,7O7 AL IN me-
chanical and mining industries. This
makes 2,5O5, 1928 belonging to what
is called industrial. This leaves 90
4l9,675 not included in the list Of
workers. This is our decision. Not
quite one-third work. None are
counted in the industrial classes till
they are ten years Of age.

DISTRICT 5. $. CONVENTION.


lReported expressly for the AnyknrrsEs.
Ed. Aduertistr The convention
of tho sunday school workers Of the
End Congressional District, is about
closing its sessions. after continuing
them for three days. The represen
tation from the different sections o
the District has been good and the
citizens Of Dewitt have attended
in crowds. The programme, publish.
ed some time since in the ADvERrIs.
ER, has, in the main been carried out
In few instances, those appointed te
open the discussion of particular to.
pics were not present, but the duty
was assigned to others in time fo1
them to prepare themselves; 30 there
was no great loss. The devotional
exercises Of the convention have been
a marked feature OF it. The singing
has been soul string, simple, spiritual
and spirited. These who think ia
worship God by drawing and whin.
ing, and also those who would do it
by a miserable attempt at rendering
high classical music, or by aping the
style Of the opera should take pattern
The prayers also were models Of their
kind. A SUNDAY school worker needs
no better credential than that he has
learned how to pray. Not a prayer
has been offered in the convention
exceeding FIVE minutes in length
Here we have heard not one who sa-
vored the least of formality or cant
They have been plain, direct and
earnest, "as friend talketh with
friend" At one meeting there were
eight or ten prayers offered in as many
minutes;-that too, without urgency
or constraint-each one following
freely the bent Of his own mind and
heart, as led by the Spirit. Think oi
it, good brothers and sisters, who SO
often KIN our prayer meetings by
your long monotonous pra ers.
Without mentioning names or tel.
ling how seloquently' each one spoke,
or how they maintained their repu.
tation," or any other indefinite and
unmeaning thing Of that sort, permit
me to tell your numerous readers, O
those Of them interested in this grea1
work, some Of the conclusions reach,
ed under the different headings a.
they came before the convention.
This Convention, the President am,
others defined simply rs the arm O
the State s. S. Association witt
which to reach the different countie,
in this Congressional District. IT.
aim is to incite deeper interest ant
effect new thorough orgaizations il
the counties. This, it is believed
will result in making al S. S. work
ers more efficient, in bringing more
| into the field and in the starting o
| schools in destitute localities.
The field reports were made con
cerning the present condition and
need Of the work in al the counties
Scott county has the most ef6cien
county organization, and the worker
there are doing the best work. A
to organization, Cedar county stand
next: Fourteen out Of eighteen o
our townships are organized and q
the ftiends Of the cause in them ar
trying to do the work systemaaicall

there never before were 20 many Z

New YORK, August l3.-The Protest
ant Episcopal church congress will be

and Sih. Peter Cooper has given the
use of the large hall in Cooper institute
for the puI poses Of the assembly, and

The congress is the result of a large and
influential meeting of the clergy from
various dioeeses in New Haven some
months past. At that meeting q gen.
eral committee was appointed, which
met in this city on the first CT July. AT
the latter meeting series of rules in re-
ference TO the time and place of holding

the congress, subjects for discussion, and

The Horrors of the FsnaiUs-Thsusauds
OF Persons VietamS-H eaEtreuG-
ing PRrtiealBrs.

NEW YORK, August l3.-Rev. Dr..
Clark, Of the American board Of foreign
missions, has received letter from Rev.
J. D. B4rrows, Of Cesarea, dated July
10th, in which he gives some thrilling
details OF the terrible famine now pre-
vsiling in that region. Mr.. BsrrOws
writes: while at Yozgat, which is
eighty or ninety miles north of Us, /
witnessed the ravages OF the famine,
which is very severe, and also beyond,
toward Angora. Many villages are en-
tirely deserted; in some one, two, three
or four families, or parts of families, re-
main. In the district OF Sungartee,
which is beyond YOZgat, and in which
city there is a Protestant church,
as many as five thousand per-
sons have died of starvation. But
the horrors of this famine are
indescribable. Many people have
subsisted on grass for weeks, and then
died. Beggars have flocked to the cities,
and there many of them have died be-
cause they could not get a morsel of
bread. Old men. mothers with babes at
their breasts, young men who have be-
come children, and young boys and girls
half-naked, are begging and crying.
Dead bodies have lain in the streets one,
two, and even three or four days before
burial, and dogs have feasted upon them.
Many of our Protestant communities
and families have suffered greatly at
SuDgartee. Some of the brethren have
sold house, shop, household furniture,
beds, clothing, everything, and now
must beg or starve. In one village there
was one Protestant family Of whom the
father, mother, and all the children but
two, have died of starvation. In the
village of Ingirli there was a pleasant
little Protestant community, several Of
whom we're members of the church,
wi.h a preacher residing with them, but
they were poor. This preacher went to
Iozgat and purchased flour, becoming
-pOnsible for the pay himself, and so
epl alive six families. Now, unless
his preacher can be paid, his creditors
w'ii lake everything from him."

From an Occasional Correspondent
FREDoNIA, ARK August 1O.-Last
year | exhibited u plant of cotton a.
your Office containing some three hun
dred and fifty blooms, 5olls and squares,
but this year don't think l could show
one with hundred. I was also repre-
sented in your columns as the shipper of
the first bale Of cotton from this State.
/ can ship one this year earlier
than did last, but l do not think it
would be the first, as we are now eXpe-
riencing a drOuth that is unprecedented
in the history OF the White river cOun-
try. We have hoped for rain from day
TO day, until it is now absolutely too late
TO save cur corn crop, which is almost
total failure. This county will not raise
corn enough for two townships-sOme
say one. There has been but three
inches OF water fell here since the fif-
teenth of April. Cotton is opening, aud
1 believe will be all open in two weeks,
if there is no rain, except where the
land is new. There is about half the
fruit on the plant there was last year,
aud the bolls are not over half the size.
By this you will see that our yield can
not be more than One-fourth what it was
last year, if there is no more rain, and If
there is ever so much it cannot excede
half the last years yield. We are in q
deploraole condition. Everybody has
mOrtgaged their stock and every thing
that was mortgagable to raise this crop,
and are now defeated. Merchants are
not able to carry them another year, as
most of them have been carried over
two years already. We have just begun
to realize our condition, which is indeed
a sad one. In a word, it is very evident
that there will be great many who will
suffer for bread this winter.

HELENA, ARK August l3.-The Aus
tin Cotton Plant issued an extra this af-
ternoon. The following is an extract
from it: "An is peaceabie and quiet.
The citizens of Austin are returning and
resuming their duties. But little dam
age was done in proportion to that an
ticipsted. The stores of Nessrs. Alex.
ander and Lourhaupt & Kahn were
plundered to a considerable extent. The
troops behaved with more discrimina-
ton than could have been expected of a
command so hastily organized. From
information received as we go to press,
we learn that everything is quiet at
TIotter's and below"
A reporter just from Austin states
that at noon to-day, column of four
hundred and sixty cavalry, from the
hills, came within six miles of the town;
sent in one hundred aud twenty men to
reconnoitre, who, finding everything
quiet, returned to the maiu body. There
were in town about twenty white men
and four or five ladies, just returned,
and twenty negroes. The whites and
blacks are getting along hsrmOniOusly,
particularly the blacks, who are very
