staggering through the streets of a

wife and a half-starved family. The
wheel has turned very fast with him.
for while his progress was upward for
awhile so tar as promotion to larger
and larger cities is concerned, yet his
degradation has OF late years been no
less rapid. Not that he is altogether
to blame for his mischances that
have befallen him, for there have
been some domestic misfortunes, and
there were some unfortunate inHu-
ences In some of the churches over
which he has ministered that did not
help HIM. Yet a stronger man would
have overcome these, and the fact
remains true that to-day a brilliant
writer and able clergyman has conc

OEGHs
Russian merchants recently re-
turned from the interior of China to
st. Petersburg, have furnished the
Golos with terrible details respecting
the famine which has for some time
past prevailed throughout certain
provinces of the Celestial empire.

not only anthropophagy is practiced
upon the body Of the dead, but that
furnished men attack the living and
prey upon them with all the ferocity
and g~reediness of the f~iercest carniv-
ora.
One of them alleges that he was
present at the examination of a men
dicant, who had been arrested for
some petty theft, and in whose profess
sional wallet the mangled remains of
an infant were discovered. This mar
confessed to the magistrate that for
some time previous to his seizure he
had lived exclusively upon the fresh
flesh ofhumap beings, as he could not
surmount his antipathy to that of
dead bodies. Another appalling case
that came under the notice Of a Rus
sian merchant was that of young man
who had persuaded his father TO assist
him in numbering and subsequently,
eating a girl to whom he was be-
trothed., Men have been executed
for killing and eating their own chill

whole villages stand empty, their in
habitants having one and all persisted
for want of food. Some of the Incl

travellers, and published in the Golos,
are too horrible for reproduction but

idea of the awful ~sufeFings by which
the population of the Flowery Land
has lately been, and still is, afflicted.
