FIMINE IN EGYPT.
Starvation and Despair among the Population
In the Nile Valley.

LONDON, March GO Correspondence OF the
Times. dated Arment Upper Egypt, Feb. 81.
gives heartrending account of the condition
OF the population Of the Nile Valley. The scenes
described resemble those in India during the
recent famine. In some OF the villages the
people are past help. sitting naked like wild
beasts. eating roots. and suffering with the en-
durance OF despair. The madness worked on
by famine stamps such n brand on the starving
fellahs as cannot be easily described. In one
town women and children fought over scraps OF
bread like wild animals. The case is believed
to be still worse in the inland hamlets. where
the villagers are said to bo starving like dogs.

letter Of its correspondent. says: " This state
