Is an immense migration to the Assam

weekly, deserting their wives and fam

It is estimated that the present fam
Inc is the greatest of the century. The
famine belt is / 300 miles long and 400
miles wide. This is apart from the
scattered districts.
In all the rice districts there Ss no
chance of food supply until Septem-
ber. The government will thus be
forced to support nearly all the popula-
ton for six months and many of them
for eight months. Whole villages are
deserted,
Out of the 100000 inhabitants Of

opinion, is the key to the solution Of
those mysteries in his early life. His
shall I say unnatural?-lovea affairs his
grotesque and utterly objectionable love
letter, il such it may be called; his ac-
tion at the time first set for his mar
riage which il would seem that moth
ing but temporary insanity could excuse,
and his fits Of tenderness alternating
with coarseness-all are explained by the
fact that he had not yet grown into
complete mastery Of his peculiar make
up. Whence, then, the greatness OF this,
the greatest man Of our time, if not Of
all time? 1t lies largely in the fact that
he never ceased to grow. He grew like
the hickory; he ripened like the hardy
susset. He aever nade the same mis-
take twice, and to the last day Of his
life he was persistent, patient and thor
oughfy honest learner.
The root of the matter was in him
thorough honesty aud inherent love for
his fellow men and o sincere desire to
benefit them. with an immense fund Of
brain power, an intellect which only
needed time to work itself clear and a
i
charity for the errors Of others so great
shat to his colaborers it often seemed ex.
cessive. 1t is the rule that when eulo-
gists have unduly exalted a martyred
hero there follow a reaction and time
when writers fail to do him justice, and
SO for awhile it threatened to be with
Lincoln. A voluminous life Of him ap-
peared, in which every good thing done
by his administration was credited to
him, and to those who knew his cabinet
officers it seemed that the laurels had
been stripped from them to add-what
was not needed-to the glory Of the Gen.
tral figure. 1t was rather dangerous
proceeding. In the case Of almost any
other man there would have been a
storm of protest, and the hero would
have suffered for the unwisdom Of his
biographers. Even in the case of Lin
coin it should be noted that this publi-
cation was followed soon by others, in
which all the faults and follies of his
early life were shown in the grossest
detail. That the reaction was so slight
is the final proof that Lincoln's place in
the very zenith of the armament is for
