The Darker of the Rice Fields.

From Rice and Its Culture, by l.. W. Robarts.
in the Popular Science Monthly for October.
1t is of the rice fields of the tide-lauds
of the Georgia and Carolina coast, and
of the adjacent islands, that we would
speak. To those who have never been
among them these rice plantations would
afford much that is botn novel aud inter-
esting. This evergreen region, where
the plainrive notes of the whtppoorwill
and song of the sweet-thrOated mocking
bird float up through the moss covered
trees; and negroes, fever and ague, rice
birds and alligators abound, would in
deed seem to be a new world to our
NOrthern brethren, and the picturesque
effects charm the eye of the stranger
artist. The rice field darkey is himself
Il distinct type, totally different in both
aspect and dialect from the negroes of
the interior; and not uninteresting
sight i5 the force, as with song and shout
they take their way along the embank-
ment to the rice field. Their ancestors
for generations back, or, as they would
tell you, 'mi farrar an mi gran
farrar, - have lived and labored in these
malarial regions, and they accept chill
and fever and other infelicities incident
to those localities as unavoidable evils,
pIodding on with no higher aim nor
hope, careless for the future, and not
over-anxious for the present. The cost
of living is small, as not many nor very
warm garments are considered Deces-
sary, and the rice-tield darkey' S ideas Of
a wardrobe are extremely limited, 2rom
both blissful ignorance and choice. Fish
and game are plentiful, and in these
regions heavy diet is to be INDUCED in
only at great risk.

FOR IRELAND'S SUFFERERS.
An Appeal to the People OF America to AID
the Famine Sufferers of Ireland.
American Committee.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-The sun to-
morrow will publish an appeal to the
people of America from the American
committee for the relief of the
famine sufferers in Ireland.
The most trustworthy informa
ton from public and private
sources in all parts of Ireland is to the
effect that q complete failure of the po-
fato crops creates another great famine,
and that the most unfortunate state is
practically inevitable. The point of
actual suffering from hunger has
not been reached, but the
days of starvation unless help
comes are not far off. A movement is
on foot to bring to the attention of Amer
leans the calamity which now threatens
Ireland before actual death from hunger
has claimed any victim. 1t has been de-
cided to organize under the name of the
American committee for the relief of
famine sufferers in Ireland. 1t is pro-
posed 70 make its work cover both North
and South America. The personnel of
the American committee contains the
following names: Chairman, Gen. James
Grant Wilson; honorary charmen,
Hon. Rutherford B. Hayes, Hon.
Grover Cleveland; yice-chairmen,
James Redpath, George Ehrett,
Col. Elliott F. Shepherd; James F. Phil
lips, treasurer, New York Sun; secre-
tary, Arthur Dudley. Vinton.
The appeal concludes as follows:
Let those who have never
known the extremity of hun
ger remember those who starve.
There is no time to spare, no time to de-
lay. The Irish people need aid now.
The American committee appeals for i'm
mediate contributions of money, pro-
visions an clothing

AN OUTLINE OF THE STORY.
DR.. E. j. plLLoN who by ToIstOl,s au-

thority, has translated the novel from the
unpublished manuscript, says in recent
letter addressed to my London ONCE:
1.-THE plan of the story is in brief as follows:
II begins with conversation between the guests
who were staying at the house of rich man.
They all agreed that life as they were leading It
was miserable; they all decided that Iasijeat
change in their mode of living Yag sAtrefeSssly.

man followed suit, but he was dissuaded be-
cause of his obligations 10 his wife. etc. Az
old man next declares his intention of reform
ing, but all cry out against such folly. as he has
already contracted habits and acquired tastes
which second nature and cannot be
changed. Then follow some reflections of The
authors and the prelude is ended.
This is but the introduction-and gives the
key note of the story, which is supposed to
take place during the reign OF the Emperor Ira
Jan, in Kilrikia, or CIlicia. The dramatis per-
soma are two young students. Pamphiiius and
Julius, their parents and wise old Pagan doc
tor.

becomes Christian. julius in after years Wis

off till he grows wiser and older. He might

rleQ lie, WHCn Is L0aL OF most nArrlsu llESS 10
day. His love evaporates and his happiness
too. He again sees his friend Pamphilius,
again discusses the same questions; his OBJ
jections are removed and he seriously thinks OF
becoming a Christian but the wise doctor meets
him again and he again defers it on the ground
of the duty he has contracted to his wife and
children, whom it would be immoral to
abandon.
Years pass away, his wife dies. He sees
Pamphilius, discusses the same questions, the
same things repeated. At last, an old man,
he Is insulted by his own children, who. be-
lieving him dead, celebrate the event with
banquet. He then leaves everything in anger
and goes over to the new sect, in spite OF the
exhortations OF the dying doctor to be courage
GUS and bear his misfortunes ike man. Here
he falls into des pair at the thought that he has
brought to Chr istianity the ruins of life. But
he is comforted and treasured by his new breth-
rem.
