The Famine in China.

New YORK, July 14.-Files Of the North
China Herald, received per latest mail, con
tain accounts of the great famine in Shans,
from which it appears that in the Kneihua
and Sniynan circuits alone over 520, 900 peo-
pie have been receiving relief from the gov
eminent. The inhabitants of more than fifty
seven elbows and hsiens we're left at the com
mencement of winter with hunger staring
them in the face. The sufferings of the peo-
pie are something awful to witness. The
famine was caused by excessive rain in some
sections and great drouth in others, so that
not grain of any crop was harvested, and,
the people having no savings, awaited death
with folded hands. The strong have left
their homes, and the weak have died at the
roadside. Two hundred and sxty-two thou
sand picals of grain have been distrilAted in
Salache, Tokato, nolinkerh and Chingshuho
and Kusihna, counting Two children as one
grown person. The number Of people in
distress is estimated at more than FIVE hum
bred thousand.
The China island mission received letter
from its missionary in North Shanshi stating
that the death-rate ION the streets" had been
higher than it has been at any time during
the wear. He says: ''We have distributed in
two and a-half months to FIVE hundred fami-
lies twenty one tons, thirteen hundred weight
of grain We have tried to give enough to
keep soul and body together, so that those
who received relief could pull through with
out selling wives or children. Some wives
were in the market when we commenced who
are now in their homes, and we do not know
of one home being broken up i'll any of the
twenty-one villages where relief was given.

Moved by partizan prejudice and uncon-

Republican press asserts that The Demo-

ment is made on no other authority than
the repeal of the ten cent tax on State
Banks recommended in the Chicago plat
form. The truth Of the matter is that no

State Banks should be resorted to again,
they would probably be modelled on the

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance ofmy beloved wife Annie
NJ. Rooms who one year ago. July It. 1892 disrobed
her soul of its earthly vestent and took her way
that high estate for which we are all taught L
aspire
BY the awful transition of death we lose those We
love best. But would we withhold earthly surceast
TO an immortal soul when time dawns ii into i'm
mortality and the company of the innumerablt
hosts who have passed beyond the yelled portal
For the living should be our tears 1t IS ours II, Z
dead, the better off than We let us remember thei
coronation not in drges and songs of calamity. bu
in the sweeter and more comforting strains of The
risen on the resurrection morn.
The pearly gates were opened
And the glowing shepherd smiled,
And with their tuneful harp strings
Welcomed my wife home.
Oh had seen through those high gates
The welcome TO her given,
never would have wished her back
From her home in heaven,
Day by day we saw her fade,
And slowly sink away;
Yet in our hearts We prayed
That she might longer stay.
Her spirit has flown to regions of the blest,
Where suffering and trials are DER:
So peacefully at rest on Jesus breast
And happy forevermore.
We miss thee at the morning tide,
The glorious hour of prime;
We miss thee more when day has died,
At blessed evening time.
As slide the aching hours away.
Still art thou uIforgot
Sleeping or waking, night or day,
When do we miss thee not.
Forget thee? Oh, when life shall cease
To thrill this heart of Ours.
And not till then Will we forget
One look or tone of thine
Forget thee? 'Tis bitter word,
We would it were unsaid
ForgetfulnesS is not of life.
But with the silent dead.

On Friday evening of last week, in the
course of his lecture at Central Hall, on
"Training of Laymen for London Mission
Work." W. NJ. Camac, Esq, who has spent
some time in London, said that while one
hears plenty of billingsgate in that great
metropolis, profanity is rare. In the United
States there is more profanity than will be
heard in any country of Europe. Profan-
ity appears to be distinctive characteristic
of the American people.

Our proud old commonwealth makes but
an Indifferent exhibit at Chicago, and her
citizens who have been there and have
seen it, have felt Inundated Censure is
being heaped upon our Commissioners, it
may be unjustly. We do not know whether
censure justly attaches to them or not.
We do know that our $4,000 or $50 900
is gone, but whether properly expended or
not, is question which may form the
basis Of future Legislative investigation.
