urged upon by the Government to recon-
mend the rebuilding of the ruined towns
on sites which may Offer a greater secu.

this is the second instance Of a similar
calamity on She positions occupied. Sub
scriptions are being mlde in Lima and

portunity the cable continues interrupted
and the news from the ruinel districts is

statement of the loss of life can now be
made, but it probably will not exceed six
hundred. Property lost may be calculated
at twenty millions of hard dollars, and
possibly more as the government is q

sured. On the coast the damage done is
greater than that caused by the tidal wave
Of 1865. In the interior the losses are

The shock Of earthquake was esAe-
cialIy severe at Chaaavaya: in some
spots the earth opened in c%revices of IS
metres in depth, and the whole surface
OF the ground was changed. At least
two hundred people were kjllel, bodies
were floating around in the bly, and a
pestilenee is feared. A small steamer
the BalLesas, was instantly despatched
to lquiqne for assistance, but the con-
dition Of that place was such that but
little could be afforded. Still a qaanti-
ty OF water, the principal necessity, and
some provisions were embarked, with
which the sufferers may be sustained for a
little time. Few however, remained the
great majority taking the road fox Iqu.que,
eighteen leagues distant, hoping there to
find relief and shelter. Poor Iqdique has
enough to occupy her attention ID pro
viding for her own wants.
AT Huanillos, another Guano loading
station, the damage inflicted was fear
full. All the houses were destroyed the
Guano outs have fallen in, and as at
Pabellon all loading must be suspended
for at least two months, as hat time will
be requisite to effect the necessary re.
pairs. The Government proposes re-
opening the deposits of Lobos de Afuera
IN the North, but the class of fertilizer
extracted from thence is SO inferior as
hardly to warrant It's working. At HUI

the Times says "Few countries in the
world could be more easily held against 4
superior force. UnpeopIed wastes, rivers,
great ridges of mountains, the want of
roads, fortresses made so strong by nature
as to dispense with half the toll Of the
military engineer-all these obstacles
stand between the Russian base and the
sea. The Russian base here spoken
Of extends from Fort Nicolas near Batoum
on the Black Sea to Etivan near
Mount Ararat and the Persian frontier.
It's centre is Alexandropol, a strongly
fortified town distant only thirty miles
from the Turkish town of Kars. On the
Turkish side the chief fortified frontier
towns are Kars and Batoum, and on the
road between them is Afdahan, also
strongly fortified. The Russians have
Hitherto failed in their attacks on Bltoun

Rarely has a var gone SO slowly for
ward. The movement resembles the slow
advance Of the glacier rather than the rush
Of the avalanche. The actual operations
have been in progress since November
last, when the Gar gave the order for
mobilization. The long Winter and tho
incIemebt Spring were occupied with
Diplomacy. This, however, was fore
seen; the Russian Commanders knew that
nothing was to be done before April, and
they mace their preparations accordingly.
What they could not have ~toreseen was
that April aad May-and, perhaps, June
alsO-would place obstacles in their way
Us iusuperable as those which arose IN the
earlier months. The SHOWS have vanished
from the plains OF Russia, but the land is
saturated with the ptodigious rainfall, aud
the great rivers Of the South, the Dnieper
AID the Don, inundate considerable tracts
Of the country.
On the Danube the Russians have at
last occupied the chief positions, and
their line extends from Galatz to Kalafat
but the formidable river bars their way.
The Danube continues to rise, such is
sill the news, and until the stream returns
to its normal Summer level it will be per-
ilous, if not physically impossible, to take
a great army across. 1t is now hardly
possible that the Russians can execute
this great military operation for the next
three weeks, that is before the longest
dav. They may come to close quarters
With the Turkish Armies about the be-
ginning of July that is, just a year after
the outbreak of the Servlan war. II the
present year be destined to have any Sum
mer, the compaign will be prosecuted
under its greatest heats. Tue hope that
the more genial SpriOg-time could be ems
p'oyed tor the work, and that the victims
OF fever or cholera would not be added to
those of the word, can no loager be en-
tertained. The region of the Lower
Danube is horribly unhealthy for strnn-
gers the losses Of the French in the Do"
brudscha under General Espinasse in
the Summer of 1854 will, no doubt, be
q warning to the Russian commanders
who will enlsavour to traverse with all
CELEBRITY the more unhealthy districts on
their line of march. Those troops will
perhaps, fare worst which have to remain
stationary-to sit down as it used to be
termed, before q fortress, or to guard a
strong place in the chain of communion
ton. 1t generally happens that an army
in movement, occupying daily new ground
and sustained by the excitement OF the
campaign, keeps its health better than
garrisons or investing forces, The char
acter and duration of the struggle in Bull
garia are the subject of much speculation,
par ticularly in Germany and Austria,
VIII ere every officer seems to have made
his own particular study of the campaign

BACHELORS-THE PERHS
IO WHICH THEY ARE
EXPOSED.

Few conditions in life are free
from trouble, with probably the
single exception OF being the hus
band Of cross wife. In that case
yon arc only to do as yon arc told.
But of all others, the most trying
ordeal lie that experienced by the
eI:joyor of single blessedncss. In
the first place, he is acquainted
with everybodys young and lovely
wife. When she meets him in the
stores, Just because he has no ore
else to buy for, she wants him to
bny her new dress. If he dosen't
bny it he is "stingy." If he does.
he has the most brilliant prospect,
at no distant day, of getting shot
by her husband as a reward of
merit.
Should he take stall with a
neighbor's daughter, several of the
men of his neighbcrhood watch to
waylay him, and all the other girls
Of his acquaintance are watching
their opportunity to snub him. If
he remains in the unpleasant enjoy
Dent of his fate, all unite in saying
that he cannot get any one to have
him, aid ifhe marries, all the wicked
men and bad boys of his neighbor-
hood gather together to charivari
hlm.
With the exception of the mar,
ried man, there is no other being
on earth more to be pitied. For
our part We have sympathized with
him tor a long time, but we can do
nothing for him. His good nature,
benevolent disposition, and religious
awe of the girls and women place
him beyond the reach of any kind
but his own.

II MINISTER'S F1MIZ Y.

Rev. John Newton relates that
many proofs bave passed under
his Immediate notice of the faith
fulness of God in answering the
prayers of parents who had left
behind them young ard helpless
children. He especially mentions
Il friend of his, a laborious Chris
tian minister, in the West of Eng
land, in whose family the divine
promise was fulfilled. This good
man, when dying, was advised to
make his will, but ho replied. Il
have nothing to leave but my wife
and children, and [ leave them to
the care of my Gracious God;" aud
soon after died happily. No'pros'
pect appeared for the support OF
his family, but the Lord disposed
a man who had always despised
his preaching to feel for his desti-
tute family; and by his means G1,.
800 were raised for them, and the
clergy of Exeter, who never coun'
tenanced his ministry, gave his
widow a house and garden for life,
SO that she lived in greater ease
and plenty than in the life time of
her husband.

THE GREATFAMINE ININDIA.

CALCUTTA, August 12-At q
public meeting held at Madras on
the 9th inst, to consider steps nee.
essary for securing help from
England for the famine sufferers,
the Duke of Buckingham, Govern.
or of the Madras presidency stated
that the famine area contained
eighteen millions of people, of
which a large proportion were de-
pendant for their daily food en- the
exertions and activity of those
who transport grain to the country.
The necessity for supplies is
steadily increasing. The wants of
Madras are already beyond the
means of the esidencv. Every
aid that can be secured is needed
10 save the people. The increasing
severity of the distress npcessitates
an appeal to public charity. DR..
Cornish, sanitary commissioner,
said that there were already a mil
lion and a half people being fed.
and over 100000 had died. A
resolution vas adopted that the
principal cities of England, Scot
land, Ireland and India be in
formed of the urgent necessity for
assistance. The mover of this
resolution said that more people
we're found dead in single morn,
ing IN Madras than had died in
the whole Bengal famine.
~
A Calcutta dispatch to the Times
says that during The last week there
has been a slight aud insufficient
rain in portions of Madras and |
Mysure- II is now clear that the
famine will rage with increased in
