The Great Chinese Famine.

London Spectator, June I5th Sir Ruther-
ford Acock writes to Mondays Times that
though rain has fallen in some of the famine
struck districts of China, and that by the
month of October it may produce good re-
suits. till then none of the poor creatures de-
pendent on the relief fund-which is all but
exhausted-will have chance of any means
of support A hundred thousand families
are thus dependent, and the relief committee
in China urgently telegraph for five thousand
pounds sterling at once, OF which the coilec.
tors here can now only forward about eight
hundred pounds. Let us offer Sir
Rutherford Alcock practical suggestion.
We have received from China grotesque,
but pathetic little picture book, painting the
horrors undergone in the famine district, the
stripping of the trees of bark, as well as
leaves, the eating of the thatch off the
houses, the feeding on the dead, the selling
of boys and girls into slavery, each rough
print accompanied by an explanation OF its
drift in Chinese, which, we need hardly say,
would have been quite lost upon the present
writer had not the friend who sent it kindly
given short translation of the meaning of
each. A great multiplication of this little
book, with the Chinese explanation and
English interpretations, and the appeal OF
the committee for help on the cover, would,
we are persuaded, touch more minds and
more hearts than any mere circular. 1t
brings home what famine means at once
wildly and with that pathos which is all the
deeper for its quaint and grotesque character.

released on bail before the death of Minton.
