THE SUFFERING BENGALEEs.

THE FAMINE IN aNDIA-MEAsUREs FOR THE
RELIEF or THE INHABTTANTs.
In an editorial article the Buffalo Courier
gives some particulars regarding the famine
in Bengal: Mr.. Disraeli in a recent speech
suggested that q part of The surplus revenue
by which Mr.. Gladstone was enabled to
promise the repeal of the income
tax, should be applied to the effectual
check OF the famine. The pub
late ministry did not act with sufficient
promptitu6e and efficiency, although it was
at one time supposed this had been done.
The magnitude of the famine transcends ex-
pectation. 1t was thought that the winter
harvest would afford relief, but all hopes
have tailed; The news comes in an anthem
tic form that not only are all the poorer
people feeling the want of food, but million
of people are alvesdy furnishing and
must perish unless aid is speedily
brought to their rescue. \ water famine al
so appears to be immient. The supplies in
the wells and cisterns are failing and the
rivers dry as they are in the warmest
months. A large amount of rice which could
have been bought by the government, thus
making a great saving and solving the now
difficult problem oftransportation so far in
land, has unfortunately been sent out Of the
country. The suffering population are near
ly 25,0OO,000 in number and are densely
packed together in an area little larger than
the state of New York. Rice is
their chief food, and it is esti-
mated that supply of more than 2O0,,
600 tons will be needed of that or some other
grain, of which about $4,000 tons have al
ready been provided. Thus a great and
difficult work is before the British govern
ment. Seemingly if the suggestions made
several months ago by ourselves and some
other Journals to send Indian corn as near as
possible to the scenes of suffering
had been adopted, an ample profit
on the speculation would have been secured.
few years ago it was announced that
enough rain fell in India to make that coun-
try the garden of the world, if the water sup.
piled by the clouds were properly preserved
and duty distributed, and that the British
government was taking efficient measures tC
supply this need. 1t is not unlikely that
much has been done. and the task was nc
doubt colossal, but how far short all effort:
fell of doing what was needed the famine in
Bengal most painfully demonstrates.

BREAKING JAIL.-The New York Times
tells of the manner in which two Pennsyl-
vania prisoners decamped: Thomas Mira
and Jonathan Rushon, two convicts confined
in the Montgomery county Jail, at Norris
town, effected their escape in a remarkable
manner. The cell in which they were con-
fined is situated in the left corridor of the
prison. In one place the floor boards did
not reach all the way across the apartment,
but were spliced out with shorter pieces.
The boards, however, were securely nailed
and seemed as strong at this place as any
other. The prisoners chose this spot for
their operations. The short pieces we're
taken up in such a manner that they could
be replaced again, and thus they could be
able 10 work every night without causing
any suspicion, or their plot being discovered.
The hole through the boards was not more
than ten inches by fourteen. By cut
ting through stone arch the
fugutives reached a dark cell imme-
diately under their apartment. From here
they dug a tunnel under the main founda-
ton wall of the building. Being still about
| fourteen feet from the surface of the earth,
| they were compelled to dig passage up
ward. In doing this they kept close to the
wall, so as not so lose their course. After this
| long and tiresome passage had been complet-
| ed, they gained the prison yard, and the wall
i had to be scaled. This was done by placing
a box and a large plank in one of the right
4 hand angles of the enclosure, and by this
means they reached the top. They then
jumped off on the other side. The pris-
| oners were not missed until the overseel
came to their cell with their breakfast. AS
yet no tidings of the fugitives have beer
| heard of. Both prisoners were serving
| out sentences for larceny. Rushon, Though
young man, is an old offender, and is wei
known to the criminal court. Mira is sery
ing out a sentence of six years.
