The woman's Christian Association.

This is q charity in our midst which is not alto
gether understood, and by some Inexperienced.
1t appeals to every woman in the community, as
its object is to benefit her sex, and It demands
godspeed from every man, for the reason that In
proportion as woman is elevated man is made bet
ter. The amount Of good which this association
accomplished when viewed as an institution which
has its branches in every prominent town and city
in the country, is incalculsble, and when it has
assumed such proportions as to be international
in character and missionary In spirit it PROMISES
far-reaching influence At the third International
conference of Women's Christian Associations,
held at Pittsburg in October 1875, communications
were read from similar institutions in Montreal
Quebec and other towns in Canada; from London,
toe, is propagating ofshoots from the parent or
ganizaiion and thus the earth is enclrcled with
woman's work. The Woman's Christian Associa-
ton of Washington is part of that great magic
circle-a point in the magnetism Of the whole. 1t
has done much during its six years Of existence,
but 1t wants to 90 more; With the assista5ee Of
substantial brick edtfee, situated on an open area
Of ground. -
It is thoroughly organized, has an efficient
corps Of offcers and active committees, but it is
not selfsustaining. In view of the necessity of
providing for the wants Of the institution during
the coming season, the associated ladies resolved
upon a grand entertainment, which has taken
shape in the form Of an authors carnival to be
given at the Masonic Temple, on the 18th, 2Sth
sent the several churches are exerting themselves
to make 1t highly artistic affair, something
worthy Of the name, and approximating In some
degree to the very brilliant representations in the
same line at Buffalo, Cincinnati and Philadel-
phia. Nothing will be left undone to popularize
the event, and to that end tickets are offered at
the low price Of fifty cents single tickets, and one
dollar season tickets. An opportunity is offered
to those who attend to renew their acquaintance
with fayorite authors; to see in pose at the hand
of artist the different characters portrayed by
authors of the past and present, English and
American. Then, too, there will be q highly in

Terrible Cyclone.

LONDON, Nov. 2O.-A dispatch to the
Times from Calcutta says three large
islands, namely, Haitian, Sundeep aud
Dakhin Shahabazpore, and numerous
smaller islands included iu the Backer-
gunge Nookbolly and Chittagong dis
tricts, were entirely submerged by the
storm wave of October 3lst, as was also
the mainland for five or six miles IN
land. These islands are all situated In
or near the estuary of the river Meena.
The largest, Dakhin Shahabazpore, was
800 square miles in extent 1t had
population of about 100000. Hattiah
and Sundeep together had about lOO,-
900 population. Up to II o'clock on
the night of the 3lst there were no
signs Of danger, but before midnight
wave swept over the country to depth,
in many places, of twenty :eet, surpris-
ing people in their beds. Dense groves
of cocoanut and palm trees around the
villages enabled many to save them
selves by climbing among the branches,
and some took refuge on the roofs OF
their houses, but the water burst the
houses asunder, and swept them ont to
sea. Some were carried thus across
the channel ten miles to the Chittagong
district but vast majority were never
heard of again. The country is per-
fectly fat and almost every one perlshed
who failed to reach the trees. There
is scarcely household in the islands,
and on the adjacent coast, bat lost many
members. The cattle are all drowned.
The boats are swept away and means
of communication with other districts
are destroyed. There is much distress
among the survivors which the Govern
ment is relieving The Government
Gazette says: Wherever the storm wave
passed it is believed not third OF the
population survived The islands have
barely one fourth of their former IN
habilants. The stencil from the putrl-
fying bodies is insuiferable and gen.
eral outbreak of cholera is hourly ex-
pected. The Times correspondent says
this fear is happily not yet realized ex-
cept at Nook Holly, where the disease
has appeared. News from the famine
threatened districts of Madras is some
what better Rain has come in time to
do some good. IL Bombay the pros
poets are still gloomy. Actual famine
in two or three districts seems probable,
and great distress in four or five more.
