titles to meet the demand.
Mr.. Charles Budd, of the Chinese In
sion at Wa-Chung, who has recently Wis
Shesna, writes heartrending account
of the suffering he has witnessed. The
efforts of the government to supply food
and assistance are to q great extent nulli-
fed by the dishonesty of the officers.
Children are sold by hundreds by their
starving parents.
In the large cities of Homchung and
Pachuug outbreaks have occurred among
tha people rendered desperate by seeing
their wives and children starving before
their faces, and many other Instructions
are reported. In Pachung tho people
beheaded mandarin tor speculating on
their necessities. The cord has been
unusually severe throughout the country
for several weeks. The steamer alsO

Gentlemen--Last Spring my little
daughter, aged five became very much
emaciated with loss OF appetite and great
prostration OF strength, so much so that
we were Obliged to take her out of school
This continued through the Summer. and
caused us much anxiety. After irving
various remedies without deriving any
dement,, our family physician recon mend
ID The use of PERUVIAN SYRUP. After
using IL one week we saw a marked i'm.
provement In the chIld's condition, and in
a month she was rapidly gaining In health
and strength. her appetite being excellent.
AT This date she is perfectly well, with
round, plump cheeks and healthy color
and is again attending school regularly,
consider her restoration to health entirely
due TO the PERUVIAN SYRUP, and feel that
l cannot too highly recommend 1t as a
ionic. very gratefully yours.

The Fish Market.

The empire of Francis Joseph is ex-
periencing the difficulties which natural
ly attend dual Government with two
sets of interests. The Hungarian portion
which is related to the Ottomans by ties
of blood, would sustain the Turkish
power as a counter balance to the en-
croachmects of Russia, while the court
and military parties of Vienna are pacific
and prefer occupying Bosnia and Herze-
govina while the opportunity exists.
Under such circumstances Andrassy's
demand for wear credit of &C, 0,o0O, 900
forins may be regarded as merely a
ptdcebo for the wounded vanity of tho
Hungarians, or possibly financial step
preliminary to the forcible acquisition of
the Turks northwestern provinces.
The ice harvest on the Hudson river
was arrested by the mild weather of last
week. The average weight of ice har-
vested each season is / 5000 tons. This
year it will scarcely reach 100000 tons.
1t is expected that this will necessitate
an advance in the price and that ice will
bring 81 per ton at the ice hoeses, and
this, with freight and other charges, will
bringit to 81 and s. per ton to the con-
sumers in New York.
