India famine. A whole population is re-
duced to the condition of living skeletons
and one and q half million of them have
already died. In certain districts depopu-
lation is going on at rate which would
sweep off every living soul in less than
year.
The immediate cause OF all this is an al
most total failure of crops from drought.
The more remote and responsible causes
may be worth investigating hereafter. 1t
would seem, though, at first glance, that
grain enough could be sent 10 by wealthy
proprietors like the English aristocracy to
keep all their slaves fat, even il there is q
failure of crop. In our Southern States
o planter would hereFsn&sr his negroes to
die of starvation, because of a crevasse
which had swept off his entire crop. Ger
tainly not. He would simply mortgage his
lands and try it again. The English Gov
ernment ought to advance supplies for this
emergency ard take q mortgage and
enough real estate to make reimbursement
safe.
But as the Eoglsh Government is not
disposed to do anything of the sort, CON-
mon humanity prompts every body to do
what he can. Strong fteh are being snrely
drawn down to the earth by the slowly
weaving network that famine is throwing
around them mothers are sitting idly
down with the vacant stare of exhaustion
fixed upon their despairing features;
children, little children, have ceased from
their play, they have even ceased to ask
for bread weak, wan, silent, they lie
down and wait.
