The Horrors Of the Bras,IlIan ron,,,,

Mr.. Herbert ii. Smith who has trov-
eled extensively in Brazil, writes TO fl,e
New York Tribune concerning Tho
famine now raging in that conntrv
winch ne describes as calamity H.
comparison with which the distress In
ireland sinks into insignificance. Tho
famine district lies in that part of Tho
country known as the Seitao. betweon .
the rivers Parnahyba and San Francis
co. Much of the land is fitted for mas
turage, and fine crops of cotton and
sugar cane are raised in the valleys and
hiilsides. The entire population is de-
pendent on agriculture. The present
famine began with a drouth in 1877.
In that year all the crops failed and Tho
cattle died for want of food and wafer
By July OF that year one-third Of Tho
people were begging for food: bv No
vember nine-tenths of the cattle wore
dead, and not green leaf or blade of
grass could be seen. Even at this time
the famine deaths ran up TO ten or tif-
teen day i'll small villages. Follow
ing TINS terrible year came another
year OF drouth. Over the greater mart
Oh the region ii did not rain at ali In
1913, and at the most there were only a
lew showers. A great panic seized fhe
people, and in March, 1873, the whole
population deserted the interior of tbe
country, rushing down to the cities on
the coast. In the single province of
Ceara, the exodus comprised 500. 900
people, and at least 10000 persisted ON
the road by starvation. The greatest
mortality was between February Of
ana April l. The refugees died by
hundreds In and about the cities.
many OF them were totally without
clothing. About this time the Brazil.
ian government woke up to the great.
ness OF the emergency, and an extraor-
binary credit of $50 100000 was voted
Tor relief. Throughout the year, feyers
and smallpox ranged among the hanlcss
people. In the city of Fortaleza. not
far from 10000 people died-tbo death
rate from smallpox in a single dav
running up to sos. Last year repealed
the story of the two preceding wears.
Ihere were few scanty showers in a
part OF the region, but in most placos
no rain fell. A letter written from
Ceara on the 10th of December last
states that at that time the Government
was feeding 100000 refugees. but thai
the treasury was seriously embarrassed
by the extraordinary strain 10 which II
had been subjected, and there were
Tears that the Government aid wonld
have to be discontinued, in which case
the condition of the people would be-
come utterly hopeless. Out of 900 900
people who inhabited the province of
of Ceara in 1876, 100000 have died of
starvation, and 100000 of pestilencc,
and of those who are left, two-thirds
are fed at the public expense. Mr..
Smith gives a graphic picture of some
extreme cases of suffering which he
himself witnessed, and urges that some
portion of the overlooking generosity
of America, which is going out so free
ly to the relief of distress in Ireland,
should go to help the stricken and
starving population of these Brazilian
provinces, of whose great need compar-
atively little has hitherto been known.
