occupancy and use, and that all which could
be exacted from them In the nature OF rent
represented simply a tax which was necessary

mere become more and more distressing.
Every day the famine is assuming terrible
proportions. Itnow appears to be true that the
famine was caused by the cruel action OF the
Maharajah OF Cashmere, who prevented his
subjects from sowing the crops at the proper
time; then heeolIeeted all the grain he could
lay hands on. He and his agents having
made this corner In corn, are now taking the
advantage Of a rise In the price OF food to en-
rich themselves.
The Maharajah OF Cashmere is q semi-in-
dependent prince, but the inhabitants OF CAL
eutta, Of ali races, are anxious that the Vice
roy should interfere and compel the Mahara-
iah TO fairly disburse the stores Of grain
which he and bis agents have under their
states that 1t is impossible to exag gerete the
distress which prevails In many Districts 20. o.
have been completely depopulated.
The Vieeroy has urged the Maharajah TO &c,
for the English government to interfere, and
be has to some EXTENT complied. He is now at
Serinagur with Mr.. Fanshaw, assistant sec
retsry OF the Punjaub government, superin-
tending some measures OF relief.

Is called tomorrow morning for further con-

is simply which will be the best party policy

ANOTHER CoAcHMAN ROMANCE.
Society circles here are somewhat exercised
over the scandal in high life which involves
the beautiful daughter OF wealthy and arts-
toeratic family who formed an affection for
her fathers eoaehman, "a La ex-Gov. Hubbard's
daughter, of Connecticut, and more recent
case In New York. The coachman In this
city Is handsome but illiterate, and the family
OF the young lady ranks high for culture,
wealth and antecedents. The father when
warned by q friend, discredited the story un-
til on investigation he found numerous letters
from the coachman addressed to his Wayward
child. During the interview about the matter
the young lady's mother tainted.
Despite parental vigilance, the twain
planned an elopement, which was intercepted
by the appearance OF the father while they
we're on their way to the minister's. The
coaehman has been discharged and the
young lady transferred to her fathers coun-
try residence.
The young physician to whom the girl was
engaged to be married has been 80 affected
by the knowledge Of the facts that he Is
nearly cIazed, and has by the advice OF his
friends started ON a voyage around the
world.
