Thousands Of Ceremonies Coming.

from the New York SUM-
1t is anticipated that this year will
see the greatest immigration to this
country:of Mennonites that has yet
taken place. Some time ago Il ukase
was given out by the Gar of Russia
that the Mennonites were to be exempt
ed from military service until 1880. AS
they are a peaceful people, holding
views akin to the Quakers, they have
ever since been coming to this country
by thousands. They universally rent
farms in the south of Russia, and are
some times wealthy. In 1876, twenty
families that landed at Castle Garden,
were worth together 49,, 900. AS this
is the Mennonites' last year Of ex-
emption from a military life in Russia,
m%ultitudes of them are preparing to
follow their neighbors hither. They
are selling off their stock and purchas-
ing tickets for this country. 1t il ex-
pected that at least 1900 Mennonites
will land at Castle Garden before May
next.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY as, 1879.

To TuR enterprise of the New York
Herald we are indebted for the first de-
tailed account of the famine which is desc
lat;ng one OF the northernmost provinces
of Brazil. Its correspondent, writing from
Ceara, declares it to be one OF the most
sdisastrous visitations ever known in any
country, surprising in proportionate de
struction the famines in China and India
or the great plague of London" 1t has
destroyed, he says, province as large as
France, removing by hunger, disease and
crime moro than half of the population.
The afflicted region is known is the Sertao,
extending backward in gradually ascend
ing plain from the sea coast. There
are two seasons, the rainy, eNtend-
ing from January to June or July,
and the remainder of the season dry.
The terrible famine was caused by
the absence of rains in the winter aud
spring of 1877 and 1878. The protracted
drought destroyed all crops aud vegeta-
ton, and dried up the streams and wells.
The population consisted OF about 2,5OO,-
600. of whom not more than 100000 were
rich or reasonably well off. The common
people lived in matched huts, and culti-
waited the ground or herled cattle. The
province of Ceara, where the famine has
been most severe, contained about nine
hundred thousand inhabitants, OF whom
10000 were of the poorer classes. There
is only one port, Fortaleza or Ceara, which
has normal population OF about twenty
five thousand. The suffering began in
the spring of 1878, and has continued and
increased to the presenttim 1t is esti-
mated that at least one hundred and fifty
thousand people persisted; some say twice
this number, and the stories of suffering
and want are heart-rendering. The starv-
ing people tlocked TO the towns, where
they became victims of smallpox, dying
by hundreds. The Government is rep
resented as having been SO slow to act that
when, finally, attempts were made to
furnish relief, the proportions of the calam-
ity made the attempts of little value. The
correspondent pictures the province as
depopulated, only few starving families
remaining where were once thriving
towns and villages. Atthe end of Deem
Der, when the correspondent left Fort
aleza, new disease had broken out called
the black smallpox, which he believed to
be the black plague"
