A CURIOUS LIBEL CASE a some what in

No names were mentioned in the article, but q

that there no Intimidation, that the man

three hours and returned q verdict in favor Of
the plaintiff, assessing the damages at two

THE TERRIBLE F1MINE IN INDIA.

The famine in India is trying the soul OF
the British Indian government. For two
seasons the rain has failed to come. and
the crops could not grow. In the Madras
presidency the famine covers more than
gu 600 square miles, containing 20 600 600
Inhabitants. In the Bombay presidency
the scourge reaches over $4,000 square
miles, with population of IL, 600 900. The
surrounding districts are more or less af-
fected. Thousands have starved to death.
and the hospitals are full of people diseased
for lack of food. In addition to the famine
hordes OF robbers have been roaming
through the country, plundeIing the heip-
lees people of their worldly goods. The In
uian government, however, is doing great
work In furnishing relief for these poor
people. 1t has iuaugurated a system of
public works to give employment to the
Iaooring men. These works consist of
roacs, reservoirs, tanks, public wells,
market houses, jails, streets, bridges, and
public parks. Supplies of food are sent
daily into the interior, and relief camps are
established at stated intervals. At present
over ,OOO people are engaged on the
public works, their labor being paid for
In food, while as many more are fed gra-
relief camps. 1t is probable that the gov
eminent will spend at least $50 600, 900 or
e40, OOO,O in this year. With all this aid,
le ls Impossible to provide for all the mil
lions VINO are in distress. Thousands of
people are living on roots and berries,
while thousands are falling dead on the
public ways, from starvation. The next
rain fall, should occur, in the natural order
of things, in May and June. This is the |
lighter rainfall of the year, as it only partly |
ills the water courses and reservoirs. In |

to appreciate it according to their own good
sense, of which they have already given 80
many proofs.
Thus Europe will have a new and
uminous demonstration to show whether
the Pope in Rome not merely enjoys O
complete Liberty and independence in the
exercise of his spiritual ministry, but also
experiences the generosity of the Italian
Government, even when he overpasses the
limits of his religious Office and enters the
political field, and that 30 far as to vilify
the Italian sovereignty and to assail by
his indictments the solidity of our national
edifice
Furthermore, this document and the
perilous example which in it's language it
sets before the Italian clergy furnish the
most eloquent Justification of the legitimacy
and necessity for the last project of law,
which has already been approved by the
Chamber of Deputies and which now awaits
approval by the enlightened patriotism of
the Senate. which BODY, especially 10 view

POOLING IN INDIAN.
HOW A CHIEF WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK
Chicago Times.)

Most of Capt. Moss's time has been in
| prospecting for gold. About 1862, Just at
the time when there was such furore on
tue Pacific coast over mineral discoveries
| in Arizona. be struck some greenhorns
whom he Induced to shell out $3.50 900 for
half interest in mine which he had
opened up on the Colorado river. There is
nothing riggardly about Moss. On the
contrary, he ia munfcent. When he had
got the cash for bis mine he started on an
Eastern toGr, taking alcng with him as a
friend and travelling companion, Aratoba,
chieftain Of the Mojave tribe. Who had
great lnhuence among hs people. The
Indian had never seen more than few
men together at time, and his notions of
Eastern civiiIz alton were very crude. Moss
and his companion went from Lower Cali
fornla to San Fran cisco on a steamer and
when the city and it's shipping opened be.
fore Aratoba's vision, he became unman
ageable from amazement and excitement.
and attempted TO jump overheard. When
they boarded q rain east of the Rockies
and the thing was getting down to thirty or
forty miles an hour. the old chief tried to
throw himself out of window, and during
the remainder of the first day of their
journey by rail it took two men to prevent
him from breaking his neck. He got used
to railroad travel, however, and liked it
toward the last; but the more he saw of
city life the greater his amaZement grew.
Moas aud bis friend lived in the best
New York hotels for week, faring stump
tuously. When he got rsady TO visit
Washington and Baltimore they took the
train from Jersey City in tie evening, en-
gaging berths in a sleeping car. During
the night run whenever the train halted at
town Moss made Aratoba get up and look
out at tue gasligbts. The object of this
was to make the Indian think that he as
riding through New York. They arrived
In Philadelphia before day break, and re-
NAMED there until night, when the journey
was resumed to Baltimore, Moss still
practising his deception on the Indian by
waking him up at every town to convince
him that they We're still riding under the
gaeight # New York. The game waa
played upon the unsuspecting and be-
wi'dered aborigine until the trip ended in
Washington.
When they returned to the wilds of
Arizona old Aratoba feared to relate his |
experience, for he knew that his peopIe |
would think that he was lying, or that he |
bad been bribed to deceive them. Finally |
he consented to tell his story, and on a |
certain day the whole tribe assembled to
hear 1t. When he described his Journey
by rail, and told about riding two whole
nights under the gaslights of the city, the
untravelled Mojoaves denounced his mar
ratIVe az PcoDstrOus lie, and thew nearly
mobbed the old chief then and there. i
council was held and it was decided to
Danish Aratoba from the tribe, and he was
accordingly stripped of his Eastern-made
clothes, and abandoned on an uplrhabited
Island IN the Colorado river, from which
re ne was atterward rescued by his old friend
Moss.

THE BORDEAUX ELEcTIoN.-The result
of the voting for deputy for Bordeaux to
the French Assembly last Sunday teaches
us two lessons. One is that the influence of
NJ. Gamhetta is on the wane. TIE extreme
Republican NJ. Nile, headed the poll with
5692 votes; Pastor Steeg obtaining only
3,50l. 1t is true that the latter has Ger
man blood in his veins, ard on that account
lost the votes OF IL section of tie constitu-
ancy. On the other hand, Mic bad been cas-.
lily defeated before, aud had no particular
recommendations except his political opin-
ions. The other is that the attitude of the
Government has disheartened the Catholics.
About ii 900 voters abstaincd from the
poll. OF these certainly the majority were
Catholics; had they supported Nj. Chavanty,
the Conservative candidate, who polled as
1t was 355 vOtes, he would have scored an
easy victory. There were no less than four
Candidates of the Left in tie field, and it
was certain that three of them would not
retire. The Catholic electors in France,
as rule do not understand voting
for the Opposition. When the Government
is frankly Catholic, they will be enthusiastic
fer the official candidate. But as it ia,
they are puzzled they do not wish to vote
against the Marshal President. neither do
they care to support jules Simon. On
Sunday next, Mr.. Chavauty will probably
retire, the Catholics will abstain, and the
"Irreconcilable" will score a decisive vic
