The Famine Nm Chlna.

The latest information received by telegraph from China states that there can be no abate- ment in the distress until next October. Fath- CT Jourdan-one, we suppose, of those glori- ous pioneers of Catholicity France send all over the world-says in his letter: "When will this heavenly chastisement end2 What fearful ravages it has already caused! Houses destroyed, in order to sell at low price, all the materials that could be sold: then the disappearance of all domestic animals even cats and dogs and rats are not to be found Many families are extinct, and many others will soon be if relief does not come. You will understand what drought has reigned in these regions when assure you that the Puohsin lake, which has width of at least twenty miles and Q length of more than fifty, is dried up, and thus deprived the people around it of their ordinary means of subsistence, that is, ash and the water lily root" Rev. Father Demarchi, another priest, writing from anoth- CT district of China, says: 'Tt is now two years since there were any crops. What was gath cred here and there, as they do in the oases of large deserts, cannot be called with the name of crops. Whatever have give to the fam ished. But am so poor that I cannot do much many time my heart breaks with sorrow in having to witness such suffering as the people endure, and many time have to shut myself up, that is to remain hidden. be- because have nothing more to give then the only remedy is to avoid the crowds of Chris tians and of other people, who, with faces pale ss death, would not leave me. But what can do?

The Fourth in Canaan.-A couple of years ago, the boys saw fit to celebrate the natal hour of the ''Centennial Fourth" with ringing of bells, firing of guns and crackers, and divers other noises, hideous and indes- cribable, but dear to the Young American heart. This, if not pleasant, was at least considered patriotic, and, under the cir cumstances was endurable.@ Last year, al- though their significance had chiefly and their appropriateness entirely departed, the noises were continued until the peoples pa tience was pretty thoroughly exhausted.
 This year the night preceding the Fourth was veritable pandemonium of noise cannons. anvils, crackers. fish-horns, horse tiddles, and the like-and passive endurance is no longer possible. Our citizens are disposed to enter decided protest against such an internal racket In the middle of the night. To compel people in this manner to lie awake for three or four hours is an imposition upon good nature. If, in order to properly celebrate the birthday of Amer ican freedom, Young America must make itself noisy and generally disagreeable, there is certainly time enough between the hours of sunrise and sunset to accomplish the task effectually. Begin at the ''crack O day." boys, and, even then quiet people will readily admit that sufficient unto the day is tae evil thereof"

Pussy English Weddings,

If . British wedding were as formidable as lts advertisement usually is. few per sons would have tho temerity to be par ties thereto. To us Americans marriage notice in the British Journ als is the cause of mingled wonder and amusement. Wben we surrender celibacy, the announcement is apt to be made in As few lines % possi- blc, rarely filling mere than three or four lines at most. In England tho announce ment makes what printers call square, and reads like condensed catalogue. We seldom pick up British newspaper with out seeing something like the following:

SLAUGNTERING WITH DYNAMITR.-Ths London Pall Mall Gazette says,-- "An inc teresting experiment. was made at horse slauRbtering establishment at Dudley, with the view of testing Q now system of slaug terinR cattle by means of dynamite, and thus putting them out of existence more speedily and with less suffering than by tho ordinary pole-axe. Two large pow erful horses and donkey. tdisahled for work) were ranged in . line about half c yard apart. under shed, the donkey being placed in the center. A small primsr of dynamite, with an electro fuse attached {. was then placed on each ot their ferehoads and fastened in posltion by Q piece of string under the jaw. The wires were then coup led up in circuit and attached to the elee- tro maohlne. which stood about five yards in front. The handle of the machine being then turned an electric current was dis charged which exploded the three charges simultaneously, and the animals instantly fell dead without struggle. The whole affair was over ID two minutes and the ex- pertinent appears to have been . perfect success. By thls means 1t is stated any number, oven a hundred or more, cattle may be instantly killed by tho same car. rent of electricity. There cannot be doubt that the present system of slaughter Ing cattle is open to the charge of being cruel and barbarous, and the slightest
 want of skill on the part of tho nlauRhterer often subjects the unhappy beasts to horTi-
 ble torture. Any attempt to sxtinguish
 life painlessly is step m tho right direo- ton, not enly as regards crlminals eentenc- cd to capital punishment, whose case equal. ly deserves eonsid iteration.

Remarkable Recovery From the Usu0l lmm edtAte Effects of n Fractured Skull.

The New Haven Palladium of Monday gives the following account of the fracture of a boys skull, and of the child's recovery from the immediate results usually attendant upon such injuries Saturday morning Freddie Gebhardt, aged 4, son of Julius F. Gebhardt of No. 54 Court street, was run over by a heavy dray at the corner of St. John and Grand streets. One shoulder was bruised, and the skull fractured at its base. Dr. F. H. Whittemore was called, and found the injuries to be of 8 very serious nature. At noon the boy was unconscious, and it seemed as if life was rapidly ebbing away. AS the doctor sat beside him with his fingers at the patients wrist he could feel the pulse growing feebler and feebler. During the afternoon, however, he rallied, and Sunday was conscious. IT in- Aamation does not set in the little fellow will recover entirely. He has recovered now from the immediate effects of the fracture, and this recovery is remarkable. The childs age had 6 great deal to do with this, the tender struc- ture adapting itself to such strains much bet ter than 8 tougher one would. The shock, al- 80 was not as severe as it would have been to an adult. In connection with serious injuries to the brain, of which kind this is one of the worst, doctors speak frequently of New Eng land man who received fracture by the pre- mature explosion of a blast of mining powder. A crow-bar was forced entirely through his head, and yet he lived for years, and went about as other people do."

Plain Talk.

William Cullen Bryant's advice to young man who had offered an article for the Even ing Post, acquires interest at the present time, when the whole country is mourning his death.
 My young friend, I observe you have used several French expressions in your letter. l think if you will study the English language, that you will find it capable of expressing all the ideas that you may have. have always found 1t 80, and in all that I have written do not recall an instance where was tempted to use foreign word, but that on searching l have found 8 better one in my own language. Be simple, unaffected; be honest in your speaking and writing. Never use long word when short one will do as we'll. Call g spade by It's name, not well known instrument of manual labor ; let home be home, and not . residence g place not locality, and so on of the rest. When short word will do, you always lose by long one. You lose in clear ness, you lose in honest expression of mean ing and in the estimation of all men who are capable of judging, you lose in reputation for ability. The only true way to shine, even in this false world, is to be modest and unassum- ing. Falsehood may be thick crust, but in the course of time truth will find place to break through. Elegance of language may not be in the power of us all but simplicity end strsightforwardness are.

A Chinese Topper.

A story is current among the Chinese of great wine thinker, who was able to sit all day at table, and after consuming what would have been sufficient to drive the req son out of half dozen men. would rise up perfectly sober. The Emperor, hearing the fame of this deep thinker, asked him to dinner, that he might test his marvellous powers. AS the story goes, the king had ordered hollow figure to be cast in bronze of the exact size and model of this man, and, as the wine was served, for each cup the guest drank. similar cup was poured into the opening at the top of the head of the image. This went on for some houre, until at length the bronze statue over-fowed while the guest continued at the table, and rose from it perfectly sober.

Whom | ann Conc.

The following lines were written on the fy- saf of book, by e lady in Canaan Valley. hey were not intended for publication and 'ere brought to our notice through an inti- late friend of the lady.
 When am gone to rest, my friends,
 And bid adieu to earth, Weep not, that have passed away,
 But let your songs be mirth. When am gone where care and pain No more can trouble me; Then think. my friends, what joy and peace There is beyond the sea. To be at home with all the pure,
 Where sin can never come; There to be numbered with the blest, And weary, rest at home. know of loved ones waiting there,
 That long to welcome mo; And when we meet in heaven above, How happy we shall be. Then weep no more !; be calm, my friends, When the last sad look you take, At one who rests in peaceful sleep,
 But never more shall wake. And in the years that are to come,
 When gazing on the spot Where, resting in the earth, lay,
 Let me not be forgot. My form familiar you will miss,
 In my quiet lonely home; Then cheer the loved ones have left ;- Let not their footsteps roam. Again adieu, my loving friends;
 Adieu to one and all. And when the Saviour bids you come,
 Be ready at His call A. T.

Advice about sun-stroke.

People get sun.struck every summer who might by proper care escape such Q calam' ity. A number of fatal cases have already occurred in New York, and the Board of Health of that city have issued 8 circular telling how to avoid sun-stroke and how to treat 1t when it occurs. We give it here with for the benefit of those who would take the necessary precautions if they knew them:
 ''Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat, and especially if the weather is 'muggy. It is more apt to occur on the second, third or fourth day of heated term than on the first. Loss of sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping.rooms, debility, abuse of stimulsnts, predispose to it. It is more apt to attack those working in the sun. and es- pecially between the hours of II o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. On hot days wear thin clothing. Have as cool sleepiDg-rooms as possible. Avold loss of sleep and all unnecessary fatigue. If working indoors, and where there Is ar tiiciaI heat-laundries, &c.-see that the room is well ventilated If working in the sun, wear light hat (not black, as it ab' sorbs heat.) straw. etc., and put inside of it on the head wet cloth or large green leaf frequently lift the hat from the head and see that the cloth is wet. Do not check precipitation, but drink what water you need to keep it up, as precipitation pre- vents the body from being overloaded. Have, whenever possible, an additional shade, as . thin umbrella, when walking, a canvass or board cover when working in the sun. When much fatigued do not go to work, but be excused from work espe- cially after II o'clock in the morning on very hot days, if the work is in the sun. If feeling of fatigue, dizziness. headache, or exhaustion occurs, cease work immedi- ately, lie down in . shady and cool place i; apply cold cloths to and pour cold water over the head and neck. If any one IS overcome by the heat, send for the nearest good physician. While waiting for the physician, give the person cool drinks or water or cold black tea, or cold coffee, If able to swallow. If the skin is hot and dry sponee with, or pour cold water over the body and limbs, and apply to the head pounded ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth. If there IS no ice at hand, keep cold cloth on the head, and pour colo water on 1t as we'll as on the body. If the per son is very pale, very faint, and pulse feeble let him inhale ammonia for few seconds. or give him . Ieaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia in two teaspoonfuls of water with little sugar."
