A ~TERRIBLE STORY.

The woes OF = stricken People In
south America - Driven from
Their Homes by Famine and
Psstiisncs, and Brutaiised by
Suffering.
NEW YoRx, Sept. 2G.-A terrible story
Of famine and psstilsnce is told by the
Evening Posts correspondent in Rio do
Jansiro. A district in Brazil equal in
area to New England. the middle Atlantic
States, West Virginia, Ohio. and In
diana combined. has been without rain
since July. 1876. The brooks, springs
and wells have long ago dried mp. Even
tho river beds havo become dusty
channels. Cattle. Of which there are
vast herds, have died Of thirst. The
people. perishing for want Of food aud
water. have fed from their homes, many
Of them dying. sometimes whole fam
lilies together. before reaching q place OF
refuge. Those Of them who escaped
have overcrowsd the cities OF refuge so
greatly as, In some cases. TO multiply the
population by five. and they are now
hsrdsd together in the open streets, liv.
ing like swine, upon the scanty rations
issued by the Government. and upon
such refuse as they can gather In the
CUTTERS. Well nigh naked, and utterly
DECEASED by their sufferings. they live In
bestial immortality. not scrupling even to
resort 10 canuihalism In some instances.
while smallpox, yellow fever. d~yssntery
and some other diseases nre sweeping
them away by thousands. As II to leave
NO element OF wr~etchodness out OF nc.
count. they are victims Of the most bru.
tai Entertainment ut the hands OF vile
spectators, who make q trade OF these
wretches' woes. The picture which the
correspondent presents Is scarcely
matched in its gh~astliness by the old
records Of the Oriental plague. and the
story Ia male more distressing by reason
OF the fact that these people were peace.
full herdsmen and planters, cultivators Of
the soil, whose homes have been made
desolats by q cause which could be
neither foreseen o provided against.
Their woe Is not that OF men who have
chosen q life Of crime. but that OF an
industrious. agricultural people. afflicted
first with drought, then with famine,
then with pestilsnce and finally with
that loss OF moral sense which brutal.
izes men into criminals without the
choice OF their wills. Until now this
terrible story has not been told In this
country. We have known only that In
parts Of Brazil the rainy season has
failed. but we have not hitherto dreamed
that such famine As this afflicted SO vast
Q territory.
