The Indian Famine.

Mr.. Nfonier Williams writes from Mn
dura tllat Mt least l5,000,000 human
beings will have to struggle for exist
cnee, il they nrc not hct,nlly.strllck down
by famine, or by tho disease which
famine brings in its train. Of course
this estimate has reference only to the
poorest Glasses. So a sad feature
in tho spectacle is the condition Of the
cattle. As I trayclo;l from one place to
another, often tliverging from the neigh
borl, od OF the railway to less frequentetl
outlying districts, 1 saw hundreds Of
lean, half famishetl kline endcavoring to

When it is remembered that the COW is q
principal source Of sustenancc to Hin
docs Of nearly all castcs, and that no
such animal nS cart horse is to be
found in India, all agricultural labor de-
pending oil the OK, some idea may be
formed Of the terrible'cala1nity involved
in mortality among cattle. Even the
cows and oxen that survive viii be ,al-
most useless. Utterly cnfeebled and
emaciated, they will have little power
left either to yield milk Or 10 Ding plOw

months of unmitigated sunshine. But
the saddest feature OF NIL is, the condition
Of the human Inhabitants of this great
peninsula. 1 will simply recount what
I know; and testify Of what / have seen
with my own eyes in the capital of this
presidency. Only fortnight Ago l saw
many thousands OF poor fanine-driven
creatures from the villages round Madras
collected on the shore md on the pier.
They were crowling round the sacks Of
rice grain, with which the sands for at
least mile werc tlickly covered and al.
most concealed from view, the grim
bNgs being often piled up in the mounds
to the height Of fifteen feet or twenty
feet Yet no onslaught wNs mNdc OH the
grain. a few men scattered about,
armed with canes, were guarding the
sacks for the merchants who owned
them, and were sufficient to prevent any
attempt ut depreciation, though here and

the coveted food. What generally hap.
pened was this: Very few Of the grain
bags were so well made as to mike any
leakage impossible, and sprinklings Of
rice were thus scattered about every
where. The knowledge OF this circum.
stance was the cause Of the vast con-
course Of miserable, half starved, emNei-

who Ind been long waiting his return.
"What Ila yo,lswant of me ~ ~ want

~ thank you, doctor, simply replied
the priest, replacing his cravat, "and nm
much obliged to you for warning me, for

parishioners, who love me very much.
The surgeon, who WIS never nstonislicd
ut great things, looked upon this priest,
who received his death sentence unmov-
ell, with alnazement, and said: "Come
to-morrow, nj, eight o'clock, to the Ho-

was prompt. The surgeon procured for
