No doubt remains that n terri
bic famine is impending IN India.
The crops in the Dcccan have all
failed for want of rain, while in
Bengal the crops arc ruined by IN
excess of rain and foods. The
country for fifty miles about CAL
cutta is completely submerged.
Nearly all the railways in the
provinces arc injured by floods aud
landslidcs. The railway ut Tucker
Sierra has been completely swept
away. Public subscriptions have
been opened in Cnlcutta, and in ali
the large town all possible prcpa-
rations arc being made to provide
against the famine which is now
inevitable, and to mitigate its hor-
rOrS.

JUMBO Observation-Disclosures Henry A.
Ward, proprietor Of Wards Natural Science
Establishment, in Rochester, n. Y, arrived
at ST. Thomas, Canada, Thursday. He
came on instructions from Mr.. Barnum to
skin Jumbo, who was killed d day or two
ago by railroad accident near ST. Thomas
Shortly after his arrival Professor Ward
with q corps Of city butchers stood around
the departed Jumbo to take off his skin and
dissect out his bones. Jumbo lay on the
side Of the bank in an admirable position
The butchers cut down the back and took
oil half the skin. Then they disjointcd tive
legs, after which the monster was relied
over and that part of the task completed.
The work of dissecting the huge bones was
more difficult, and it required all The inge-
nuity of Professor Ward to devise means to
handle the immense limbs and masses of
muscle. While this was being accomplish
ed, in accordance with the order of the
health Inspector, about four cords of wood
we're procured and a funeral pyre built.
The body of the great Jumbo was soon laid
on this and slowly reduced to ashes. No
other creature, human or brute, ever before
had such we'll attended funeral in the
town and no other will be remembered so
long. After the cremation is completed the
ashes will be gathered and placed in an urn.
The skin will be mounted and sent to Iuit
College, Massachusetts,, and Mr.. Barnum
will make the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington q present of the skeleton.

Turned from the fallen TO the risen star
With swift decisions and tumultuous noise
With all the pomp and blazonry of war,
The roll OF drums. the bugle's mellow voice;
Not thus, o new year in this early dawn,
In this sweet silence of the rising day.
Our chast.ned spirits, sorrowing for the
gone,
sMeet thee and greet thee on thy forward
way.
God give thee grace, dear king, that holds
our fates
In the same hands that measure ont the
dars'
God give thee srae! and write on all thy
gates
In living letters excellence and praise"
Yet grief must cine and nations must be
tried
By fire and swoI j. perchance, aud sorrow
By many a hearth wherever the hame has
died
That angel hope or sanity love had lit
May love be crowned with JOY and faith by
fact.
May toll be honored, humble worth ap-
praised
At its high value, justice, though exact
And true and equal stil, by mercy raised
To hi CHER planes, eXalt its golden rule!
May peace pour over all her gentle food,
Contentment teach Us, in her perfect school,
That all God gives Is given for our good!
