The HoRRoBs OF THE BRAZILIAN FAMrEK,-
Mr.. Herbert H. Smith who has travelled ex-
tensiyely in Brazil, writes to the New York
Tribune concerning the famine now raging in
that country, which he describes as a calami.
ty in comparison with which the distress in
Ireland sinks into insignihcance. The fam
inc district lies in that part of the country
known as the Sertao, between the rivers
Parnahyba and Sac Francisco. Much of the
| land is fitted for pasturage, and fine crops of
| cotton and sugar cane are raised in the valleys
and hillsides 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 the cattle died for
| want of food and water. By July of that
year one-third of the people were begging
for food; by November nine -tenths of the cat
| tie were dead, and not green leaf or blade
of grass could be seen. Even at this time
the famine deaths ran up to ten or fifteen a
day in small villages. Following this terrible
year came another year of drouth. Over the
greater part of the region it did not rain at
| all in 1873, and at the most there were only
| few showers. A great panic seized the pso-
| pie, and in March, 1873, the whole popuIa-
ton deserted the interior of the country, rush
ing down to the cities on the coast In the
single province of Ceara, the exodus eompris-
| ed 100000 people, and at least $50, 900 per-
ished on the road by starvation. The great
est mortality was between February 25 and
April l. The refugees died by hundreds in
| and about the cities many of them were to-
tally without clothing. About this time the
| Brazilian Government woke up to the great
ness of the emergency, and an extraordinary
credit of $50, 600, 900 was voted for relief
Throughout the year, fevers and smallpox
ragged among the hapless people. In the city
of Fortaleza, not far from 75 900 people
died-the death rate from small -poI in a sin
| gle day running up to sos. Last year repeat
ed the story of the two preceding years
| There were few scanty showers in a part
of the region, but in most places no rain fell.
A letter written from Ceara on the 2Oth OF
December last states that at that time the
| Government was feeding 25O,O0 refugees,
but that the Treasury was seriously embar-
rassed by the extraordinary strain TO which it
had been subjected, and there were fears
that the Government aid would have to be
discontinued, in which case the condition of
the people would become utterly hopeless.
Out of 900 600 people who inhabited the prov
ince of Ceara in 1876, 200, 900 have died of
starvation, and 800, 900 of pestilence, and OF
those who are left, two-thirds are fed at the
public expense. Mr.. Smith gives graphic
picture of some extreme cases of suffering
which he himself witnessed and urges that
some portion of the overhowing generosity
of America, which is going out so freely to
the relief of distress in Ireland, should go to
help the stricken and starving population of
these Brazilian provinces, of whose great
need comparatively little has hitherto been
known.

Mr. Bradbury, "I'll remove Mr.. Simmons at

Mr.. Simmons had taken advantage of the
general excitement to partake Of little more

upon him, hastily dropped the remainder in

was not only Of Il naturally forgivng temper

NOR, and in the midst Of the fearful recital
the absurdty of the whole affair struck him
so yiydly that he suddenly passed, without
the slightest warning, from dignifed sulks
into fit of uncomfortable laughter, which
continued with but momentary intervals, for
nearly quarter of IN hour, causing his Sis
ters to entertain apprchonsons of apoplexy,
and finally leaving him completely exhausted.
Meanwhile the distress of his sisters at their
unfortunate mistake was unmlstakable and
the many familiar objects around excited

and these two now faded sisters had been boy

A STRANGE RUNAwAY.-A very singular Oc-
currence at Oil City, Pa, recently was the
flight of quarter of a mile of iron rails
through one of the streets. Several years ago
a railroad called the Incline, was built from
the foot to the top of one of the lofty hills
overlooking the city, to bring into market
some valuable building sites on the hill The
road was very steep, ascending the hill at an
angle of 40 degrees, and was operated by a
stationary engine at the top, on the principle
of the gravity roads in the coal regions. The
enterprise did not pay, and the material was
recently sold to coal company. On Tues
day, the work of taking up the rails began.
The ground was icy, and the job was no easy
one, as the rails were all joined at the ends.
The superintendent Of the work conceived
the idea of loosening the rails as they were,
and drawing them down the hill without be-
ing disjointed, The line of rails was q quar-
ter of mile long, and when team of horses
was attached result unlocked for occurred
The road was very icy and the rails began to
come down of their own weight, becoming
disjointed at places and their motion rapidly
accelerating the rails were soon flying in all
directions at a tremendous speed. Some
bounced into the air and flew 800 feet. One
long section kept together and dashed clean
through barn, tore of the corner of house,
demolished an clubhouse, dashed through q
garden, and pointed directly for the kitchen
of hotel, where several girls were at work.
A stone wall, however, turned its course, and
it was hurled in two sections, one of which
was piled up in an adjoining garden, and the
other leaped into the air, knocked a chimney
off the hotel, jumped upon three-story house
some distance away, tore of the shingles for
twenty feet and partially wrecked tall chin
ney. Its force spent, the section of rails
rested across the top of the houses. Singu-
larly no loss Of life nor injury TO any person
is reported. The rest of the road was re-
moved in the old-fashioned way.

The signs Of waking Spring are everywhere
In halcyon skies in mirroring, sparkling streams,
In sunsets hues, in early mornings beams,
In every soft pulsation Of the air.
The cold earth waketh from her deathlike swoon,
And casts aside her cerements. Golden noon
Completes the solstiee; lol the Spring is bornl
Life out Of death wakes on the vernsl morn.
o gladsome resurrection symbol fair
OF the worlds hope Divinel let sounds Of prayer
Hallow thy peaceful hour. litany
OF pleading ntercession let there be
On every lip.
power Of love Dyinel
wake in our hearts, and blend our souls with Thine,
From sims sharp thral, from envy's fearful snare,
From hatred's curse, from strife and worldly care
From every dark deluson, set us free.
o soul Of mine, echo the pleading cry.
For thine own need, lift up to heaven thine eye.
Now, in the hour Of Springs fair natal morn,
Seek to the Lord Of Life, within thee born.
Oh, by Thy mystery of incarnate Life,
By all Thy fasting, and temptations strife,
Thy cross and passion, and Thy precious death,
Thy burial-where the gardens odorous breath
OF spcery and balm, and liled bloom
Sweetened Thy pillow In the sacred tomb,
Yet could not captive hold the heavenly Guest,
Who with His presence all the grave made blest
Conqueror over Death! attend my plea
Bend from Thy throne and hear my litany;
oh, by thy glorious resurrection, Lord,
Dear Lord, deliver me.

1t is said that diphtheria has carried on
forty thousand persons in Central Russia
since last November.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1880-08-19

In our local columns we print an
opinion Of Judge Sepulveda's
which declares null and void an
absurd act of the last Legislature,
which would have made 1t impos-
sible to collect license from China
men engaged In any business avo.
cation in Los Angeles or any here
else in California. Judge Sepul.
veda, following in the footsteps of
Judge Sawyer, of the United States
Circuit Court, declares that this
law is In contravention Of the Con-
stitution of the United States and
of treaties made pursuant thereto,
and is, therefore, no law at all.
That statute merely emphasized
the stupidity of the late revered
legislative body which, as to one
half of it at least, is defunct insti-
tuition. Our city officials can now
60 on and make John Chinaman
pay equally with the Caucasian for
the privilege of engaging in BUSH
ness within the corporate limits of
Los Angeles.
