The Great Chinese Famine.

Sir Rutherford Alcock writes to Mon
days Times that though rain has now
fallen in some of the famine-struck dis
tricts of China, and that by the month
of October it may produce good results,
till then none of the poor creatures de-
pendent on the relief fund, which is
all but exhausted, will have a chance
of any means of support. A hundred
thousand families are thus dependent,
and the Relief Committee in China ur-
gently telegraphs for $4,000 at once, of
which the collectors here can now only
forward about 9S00. Let us offer Sir
Rutherford Alcock a practical sugges-
ton. 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 we'll as leaves, the eat
ing of the thatch offthe houses, the feed
ing ON the dead, the selling of boys and
girls into slavery, each rough print ac-
companied 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 transla-
ton of the meaning of each. A great
multiplication of this little book, with
the Chinese explanations and English
interpretations, and the appeal of the
committee for help on the cover, would,
we are persuaded, touch more minds
and hearts than any mere circular. 1t
brings home what famine means at
once vividly and with that pathos which
is ali the deeper for its quaint and gro
tesque character.-London Spectator

Good AdAice TO Graduates,

The young men now leaving college
who think that it would be beneath
their dignity to engage in mechanical
pursuits, and that the education which
they have received is only intended to
fit them for some one Of the learned
professions, ought to study the bacca-
laureate discourse delivered by DIR.
Peabody recently before the graduates
of Harvard. "We need" said he,
" able and educated men in agricul-
ture and manufacture, and there is not
department under those titles that
may not be elevated, not alone In
name, but in its permanent value as a
factor in its well being, by such re-
cruits as our college might furnish" :"
Stuoents fresh from the university
are too apt to forget that there is some
thing practical in life to which their
education is only an introduction, and
that if it helps them in law, in medi
cine, and in theology, it will also be an
aid to them in those other pursuits
which are equally associated with ma
tional progress and prosperity. A few
matter of fact sermons like DR. Peabody s
delivered just at the time when young
mems minds anG. feelings are the most
receptive, might lead them to indulge
less in thoughts of being carried through
life on g fiowery beds of ease and more
of following avocations which will in
the end yield not only pleasure but
profit

an programme as previously announced
was confirmed. Austria received the
port of Spiza. The correspondent
anticipates that the following settlements
will be reached at Saturdays session
Servia will not receive either Vranja OF
Pirot. Sandjak, of Sophia, in accord
ance with the compromise proposed by
Germany, France and Italy. will be di-
yided between Roumelia and Bulgaria.
Russia Will receive Batoum on condi-
ton of never fortifying it on any pre-
text. The powers will strongly advise
the porte to come to q direct under
standing with Greece for an equitable
readjustment of frontiers.
MORE THREATENING.
4 Berlin dispatch of July 4th says
that the Batoum question is still under
negotiations. Renewedrepo are cur
rent that the porte has uncompromis-
ingly refused to permit Austrian occu-
patton, but resistance is not anticipated.
Lord Odo Russell, Count Schouvaloff,
and Prince Hohenlohe, in conversation,
admit that fresh difficulties have arisen.
1t is said these difficulties concern the
frontiers of Eastern Roumania.
THE NEWSPAPERS DID IT.
A Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Times writing under date of July
4th says that grave difficulties have
arisen on minor questions. The bitter
comments of English and Russian news
papers on the concessions granted or
gained by their respective plenipoten-
tiaries have made the plenipotentiaries
indisposed to yield anything; thus the
possession of Vranja and Prot has been
discussed four days without reaching
a settlement. Discussion on the ques-
ton as to the division of Sandiak
of Sophia has lasted week, England
desiring to secure the Ichleman line
of defense for Roumelia. In connec-
tlon with these differences, the CORES
pondent gives an account of an inter-
view with Bismark on Tuesday
night. Bismarck said he wished for
peace, land had contributed to it as much
as possible since he could clearly see
his way. England had achieved mag
nlticent success in limiting Bulgaria and
IN regard to the straits. Her prepara-
tons had proved she could become a
great military power, but war between
England and Russia would menace ev-
eryone. He said this because he was
convinced there would be peace now
that the Bulgarian question had been
settled. However serious, the account
must be taken of Russia's sacrifices
during the war and the concessions
since. Despite the admiral disposition
of Count Schouvaloff, there might be
limit to his desire for peace. He con-
sidered neither English nor Russians
did justice to their representatives. If
war, after all, unhappily arose, Ger
many, having done all possible for
peace, would be able to stand aloof on
guard. He considered Batoum the
real difficulty. The Russians had a
good case. He should be delighted to
hear they had made concessions, but
he hoped the matter would be settled
outside the congress. He thought the
Turks would yield to Austria, but not
to Greece.

STEWARDS ESTATE.
The Estimated Shrinkage from Real Es-
tate Depreciated.

A correspondent, writing from New
York, says:
Stewart provided in his will that all
his business and real estate directly
connected with it should be inherited
by Judge Hilton, who had been his con-
fidential adviser for several years. All
other real estate he bequeathed to his
wife. The actual value of the business
and of the real property connected with
it was not known then, nor has it been
made known since. The whole was es-
timated at S30,000,000, and I am in
clined to think that figure was not
much out of the way. 1t included the
wholesale house at Chambers street, the
retail house at Tenth street, and some
twenty mills engaged in manufacturing
for the firm. All the hotel property
was outside OF the business, and, to-
gether with number of houses in diff
ferent parts of the city, went TO Mrs.
Stewart. Those who speak of the de-
cline say that the business part of the
estate is worth $5000,000 less to-day
than at Stewards death, and some Of
them predict that five years more will
produce bankruptcy. Such predictions,
however, are sometimes mere folly, and
this may be one of that sort. The esti-
mated value of the entire real estate in
this city in 1875 was S10,000,000. This
included the two stores, which were
supposed to be worth $3,G00,000. The
uptown store is built on leased ground,
and the fee is therefore not SO valuable
as might be supposed. Deducting the
value of the stores, which became the
property of Hilton, the real estate be-
queathed to Mrs. Stewart was worth
/ 81 100000 year before her husbands s
death. As much of this property is sit
uated in parts of the city which are
steadily going backward, such ss Bleek-
er street, Amity street, Ninth street,
Prince street, and SO on, its value has
undergone a serious decline since that
time. Good judges say that at least
100000 must be taken off for depre-
citation. They speak in this way of the
property at Hampstead, and with proba-
bly, as much reason. There is no doubt
that the whole estate has shrunk several
millions since Stewards death, but then
it is not by any means certain that the
same thing would not have happened
if Mr.. Stewart was still alive. Some
very shrewd business men have become
bankrupt within the past three years.

originally constructed for the Car
Nicholas, who was wont to mount in
this fashion to his cabinet on the third
floor of the palace. On one occasion,
after a state dinner, the present Car.
instead of taking his seat in the chair
as usual, offered the place to a lady of
rank who had been a friend of his
mother The Countess, flattered bv the
compliment, took her seat at once, but
she had not risen many feet when the
chain snapped, and down came the
chair with terrific crash, finging out
Its occupant upon the floor with
broken limb and other serious injuries.
The dlsmay of the company was ex-
treme, and ali were LOUD in expressing
their thankfulness that the Car himself
had so narrowly escaped q catastrophe
which, however, no one looked upon in
any other light than that of very un-
fortunate accident. But one of the inn

trophe, had his own thoughts about this
accident" and took the earliest op-
portunity of inspecting the broken
chain, when he at once perceived it
had been sawn half through, close to
the staple. The announcement of this
discovery fell like thunderbolt upon
the assembled grandees, and not mo-
ment was lost in calling up the palace
servants for examination, when it was
found that foreign lackey, who had
entered the service some months be-
fore. and had up to that time borne an
excellent character, had, unaccounta-
bly,, disappeared. The affair, however,
was hushed up, and to this day many
persons who were acquainted with the
story consider the whole occurrence
either imaginary or purely accidental

Miss Benefits Marriage.
New York Graphic.

1t is announced that Miss jeanette
Bennett, sister of Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett, is about to be married to Lord
Rossmore, the wedding to take place in
this city, Baron Rossmore Derrick
Warner William Westernsl, of Ross
more Park, County Monaghan, Ireland,
is the fifth Baron Of that name. Being
also Peer of the United Kingdom, he
holds seat in the House ofLords. He
is in his 26th year, and held formerly
Sub-Lieutenant's commission in the
First Life Guards. He succeeded in
the Peerage to his brother, Henry
Cairns, who died in 1874, in conse-
quence of a fail while riding steeple-
chase'at Windsor. The statement that
Miss Benefits fortune is about 81, 2,OOO,-
900 must be a mistake. The property
of the late James Gordon Bennett was
left entirely to his son, who, was, how
ever, expected to provide for the
daughter.

Our Cotton Industry.

For several generations the cheap
capital, coal and labor of England have
enabled that country to enjoy an i'm
mense industrial and commercial SUI
periority over all other nations. She
Is, however fast losing this advantage,
and there are sagacious observers who
contend that the time is fast coming
when the United States will dispute
with her for the palm of manufacturing
and commercial supremacy. The great
falling off of English exports, and reports
from various parts of the world, includ-
ing British colonies, all tend to show
that English manufactures are gradual
ly being supplanted by American pro-
ductions. Most particularly true is this
true of manufactures of cotton. 1t is true
that American cotton industries, like
those of Great Britain, are just now feel
ing the effect of the univers al business
depression, but many of our most ex-
perienced and best informed manufact-
ures contend that a period has been
reached when American producers
may successfully compete with English
manufacturers in the markets of the
world. The manufacturing enterprises
starting to-day, Or those to be set in mo-
ton in the future, will have the advan-
tage of low cost for building materials,
labor, COAL etc. All this combined with
improvements in the method Of spin
ming, and the lower price at which the
raw material can be obtained here,
places this country in position to
compete with the transatlantic manu-
facturers, SO far, at least, as this leading
industry is concerned. England has
to transport her raw material thousands
ofmiles. We have it at our very doors.
In this the American manufactures en-
joys most decided advantage, as we'll
as i'll regard to food, materials, mill
power, and other matters of like inn
