FAMINE IN CASHMERE.

LONDON, Sept 22.-A dispatch to The
Times from Calcutta says: 'The reports
from Cashmere are still very gloomy. ALI
European eye witnesses agree that great
corruption prevails among the officials.
The Maharajah and his ministers show
want of energy in relieving the distress
of the people. A Aghastly story has been
going the rounds of the papers that two
boatloads of famine-stricken people were
taken out into the lake and drowned. The
story has Been contradicted apparently
on the authority of the Durbar, but it OBJ
tanned general credence among the peo-
pie and visitors in the valley.
1t is new some months ago since public
attention was called to the progress of the
famine in Cashmere, the most northerly
semi-independent principality of British
India. It is asserted that if the famine
had been properly dealt with there would
have been no severe mortality at all,
while one-half of the population of the
country, or about three-quarters of a mil
lion of persons have been starved to death.
The Maharajah is charged by the English
papers with almost criminal negligence
and supineness. The Maharajah and
the ruling caste are Hindoos, and between
them and their Massulman subjects there
have never been much love. Indeed
there is reason to believe that the politi-
clans of the court Srinuggur, rather, per-
haps, than the Maharajah himself, have
availed themselves of the outbreak Of the
recent famine to take measure which are
calculated to decimate the Mohammedan
portion of the population. The supplies
forwarded from India failed to reach "the
happy valley" For a considerable time
after the first appearance of the famine
the Maharajah remained supine. When
at last he bestirred himself his activity
showed itself in series of ill-directed eff
forts, some of them highly oppressive in
| their nature. For one thing, he refused
to relax the restrictions on emigration,
thus preventing the peasantry from going
elsewhere in search of the food which
was not obtainable at home. Grain was
ordered, it is true, from the Punjab, and
| in considerable quantities; but those who
| ordered it omitted to provide for its trans
port across the intervening Himalayas
and for its safety from peculation. The
natural consequence was that the traffic
became congested, and the grain thus de
| layed found its way into other hands
than those for which it was intended.
Whatever truth there may be, in these
statements, there is no question that the
position of Cashmere is such that it gives
them an air of probability. 1t is the key
to the British frontier on the northwest
and the point on which the three Great
Powers in Asia have now conyerged. For
that reason alone its condition and the
doings of its government must always be
matters of the first Importance.

JAMES WILL PLEASE RISE AND FIX
PLAIN.-The Chicago Tribune, in refer
ringssto the record Of the "willin' BarEis"
of the Wisconsin Democracy, projects a
few queries to which it would be well for
James to respond; such lifelong, hard
money stalwarts as Hudd and Joe Ran-
kin would like to know what they are
voting for, this fall. The Tribune saws:
Mr. James G. Jenkins who now orna-
ments the Democratic State Ticket IN
Wisconsin, instead of the Hon. Alexander
Mitchell, may find it somewhat embar-
RAISING to explain his position on the
financial question. 1t will be recollected
that Mr.. Jenkins was President of the
Democratic State Convention at Fond du
Lac two years ago, at which the widest
heresies were az 3opted in regard to the
currency, and the safest kind of an Infia-
ZIONIST nomination as the candidate for
Governor. 1t is not on record that Mr.
Jenkins either opposed the adoption of
little Congressman Bragg's fiat platform,
or that he resisted the nomination of
Greenback-lunatic Mallory; but it is in
evidence that he heartily supported both.
Republicans don't care cent about it
as they don't propose to vote for Mr.. Jen-
kins under any circumstances there
may be a good many Democrats in Wis
consin who would like to know whether
"Jim' intends to adhere to the heretieal
pronunciamento put forth two years ago
by Ed.Bragg's convention, over which be
(Jenkins) presided or whether he pro-
poses to run on the rhetorically y-infatea
platform put forth this year by Bill Villas
1t is probable that Mr. jenkins is a true
Democrat, and always fops with bus
party; in that case he will not like to be
confronted with any references to the
crazy platitudes to which he gave his adj
hesion in 1877.

IHE EXODUS INVESTIGATED w ASHING-
TON, Sept 25.-E. S. Hamlin has adj
dressed an exhaustive letter to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in reference to the
negro exodus. He has been induced ito
investigate the subject, in compliance
with the desire of Secretary Sherman,
and his verbal request that he should ex-
anime the matter. He has visited various
Western and Southern States, and his
conclusions are the result of personal OBJ
servation and of conversations with the
emigrants themselves and with white peo-
pie in the south. From survey Of the
whole field, the writer comes to the con-
clusion that the negro in many of the
Southern States has no legal protection
OF person Or property. He lives, emphat-
ically, under no government Of law, for
the statutes and constitutional provisions
made for the protection are systematical-
ly defied and successfully nullifed by
lawless combinations of white citizens.
He suggests that the application of the
rule '1f you want friends, show yourself
friendly, would remove all difficulties
of the planters in securing the votes OF
negroes; suggests that some kind of orga-
nization, or organizations, should be form
ed to acquire large tracts of land in the
southern states, and divide them up and
retail them to deserving men wishing to
buy them, giving them time to pay in
frequent small installments.

A Mad ELEPHANT.-AmOng the ele-

Forepaugh is one known as Dick"
This young monster got to sulking at
Lancaster, n. H., the other night, and re-
fused to trot along with the others. Young
Adam Forepaugh, the old man Adams
son, rode up to Dick and gently tapped
him with his riding whip. Dick lunged
for the lad and unhorsed him. Adam
was stunned by the fall and lay but a few
feet from he enraged beast, whose ter
rible believing indicated that he was
thoroughly aroused. It seemed impos-
sible for any one to rescue young Fore
paugh. The keepers and trainers knew
that the least motion would hasten the
boys death, and so stood speeches. and
aghast. But old Belts, the monster ele-
phant Of the herd, acting with wonderful
human intelligence, ran with a speed
that seemed incredible, considering her
enormous bulk, and threw the whole
force of her four tons weight against the
sidesof the advancing and murderous
Dick. The shock of the colliding ele-
plants was fearful, upsetting Bad Dick,
and throwing him on his side. Quick as

Old Belts threw down her trunk at the
signal just as she does in the performance
and lifted her master upon her head.

was met by 5000 pounds of elephant
flesh against his ribs, until he laid down
and trmpeted signals of distress in ac-
acknowledgement of defeat.-Lancoster,

A FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR Book
Mr.. A. J. Pulver Of Milan has in his pos
session a copy of the book for which the
English Government some years ago, dur
ing the Byron discussion by Harriet
Beecher Stowe and others, offered $1,000
for every copy produced. Its title is ''The
Book-or the Proceedings and Correspon-
dence upon the Subject Of Inquiry into the
Conduct of Her Royal Highness, the Prin-
cess Of Wales''-and gives full revela-
ton of the conduct of that notable mem
Der Of the royal family Of England, and
the proceedings, Investigations, etc., grow
ing out of it. 1t was publicly announced
at the time Of the English Governments
offer, that only three copies Of the book
had been known to be in this country,
only a few numbers have been issued.
Mr.. ..Pulver's copy was the property of the
late Kneeland Townsend of Milan, and
has been in his possession for many years.
How or where Mr. Townsend obtained it
our reporter could not learn, but he gave
it to Mr. Pulver while on his death-bed
for the care and attention Mr.. Pulver had
given him in his sickness. The writer Of
this has seen E'The Book in Mr.. Pulver's

KATE s CLAIM.

A Providence special to The Sun says:
When the ninety-two rooms in the great
Canonchet mansion had been filled with
their elegant furniture, the receipted bills
were made out in the name of Mrs. Spra-
que. The value of the furniture it is said,
was $25,OO0 to 100000. Mrs Sprague
has just filed a petition in the supreme
court Of Rhode Island representing that
she is possessed in her own right of per-
sOnal and real estate at Canon
chet; that she and ex-Gov. Sprague are
not now living together as man and
wife, and praying that trustees of her pro-
perty be appointed. Nobody here doubts
that claim will be laid by Mrs. Sprague
to all the Cannonchet furniture.
Her lawyers are very reticent. Even
though Mrs. Sprague should produce the
receipted bills made out to her by those
who sold the furniture, she will be oblig-
ed to go further and show that she paid
the bills with her own money, because
it is argued, nothing would be more natu-
raj than that the bills should be made out
to the person who selected and ordered
the furniture This, Mrs. Sprague is
known to have done Lawyers Ssay that
that she can claim the furniture only in
two cases; first, if she purchased the
goods with her own money; and second,
if she received them as a gift from her
husband at a time when he did not know
that he was bankrupt. The furniture
was purchased in 1866 or 1867. At that
time the credit Of the company was good,
and probably it could not be shown that
the ex-governor then knew that he was
virtually bankrupt. A citation was
served on ex-GovSprague on Thursdayno-
tlfying him to appear at Providence last
Saturday to show cause why the petition
should not be granted. The hearing was
adjourned until tomorrow morning, when
it is not unlikely to be adjourned until
next Saturday. Lawyer Clark, Of King
ston, will appear for Gov. Sprague.
The question is mooted here how far
the present proceedings may be the
stepping-stone to divorce suit. Friends
of Mrs Sprague insist that all she desires
is to disentangle herself from any associa-
ton with her husband and to keep her
children. This is precisely the ground
the husband takes, end and hence it is ar
gued that divorce suit is not to be
thought of. The following suggestions
have been made to Mrs. Spragues law
yers by some friends of the family: Let
Mrs. Sprague send the three children to
her husband. He will keep them just
about three months, and then he'll send
them back again. He will get tired of
caring for them, and when he sees her
living quietly he will be only too clad to
send them back to her--At first it would
probably be on a visit, under a strict
agreement that they would be allowed to
return; but such visits would become
more frequent, until in a short time the
little girls would be continuously under
their mothers care

Professor J. K. Lord, Of Dartmouth, ~
ports favorably on the plan Of admitting
students without examination on certif-
Gates of specified schools, and making the
first part of the Freshman year proba-
tionary. Dartmouth's three years trial
of this plan has resulted in success be
yond expectation. There has been a
noticeable improvement in the prepare
ton Of those entering; the probationary
character of the first term has insured a
more diligent application to study, and
in consequence Of this application the
formation of better habits of study. The
diligence has continued through the
year. In several instances this system
has been the principal factor in enlarg-
ing the courses of preparatory schools,
which otherwise could not have given
certificates.
