IUE'gREAT FAMINE IN INDIA."
I started fro.n Midapore, a civil station
about seventy miles southwest of the cap
ital, on the uiorniDg of the 2Gth of Juno,
aud had hardly proceeded some seven
miles, when commenced the painful sights
which, varying only in intensity, continu
ed till I again returued to this place.
Kain had fallen heavily during the night,
and the palkimen were trudging tlowly
through the mud, when, a little after day
break, I saw two bodies under a tree. As
J tliere KCc:ucd t0 be a slight motion iu one,
I alighted, aud ou going up to It found
. covered under au oil cloth, an old l;:an
,
slowly dyin from hunger. lie appeared .
as if he had a thin piece of transparent
India rubber tightly drawn over Lis skel-1
ctou Lame, so emaciated had he become.
I gave him some beer, and he slowly fal
tercd out his tale of woe.
He said that he and his companion lad
left their homes, after seeing their families
die from the effects of cholera or taiuine,
and had got thus fur on their journey to
ward Miduaforc, hoping to get relief
there, when one, struck by damp and hun
ger, dies on the road under a lice, and
flic other wakes to ud his fiieud a Corpse,
and himself, exhausted and drenched by
the heavy rains that had fallen during the
night, unable to move. The dogs and
jackals feast off the body, while this liv
ing skchtou but a few paces off Is power
1 si to prevent them. He faintly Legs
from the passers by, but in vain. Hun
ger is gnawing their vitals also. They all
tutu a deaf ear to his cry. The beer
seemed to revive him, and I TT-nt j
l sliki to ;-je biscuits, but relumed
to find the poor sufferer iu a state of coma,
aud in a few miuules ho was dead. The
half-picked body of his companion attest
ed Lis tale. I continued my journey,
pus-iiig at intervals the dead as they lay
uuburicd and in every stage of decompo
sition on the side of the road.
Sometime?; I would sec a cluster togeth
er. In one place there were twenty-two
bodies within the space of half a mile ;
in another six, close together ; all more
or less nit-nglcd and torn by jackals, dogs
and vultures. Pushing my way through
the jungle and over paddy fields, olten
obliged to swim sunury streams swollen
by the late floods, in one of which my
palki was upset, I traversed one hundred
and twenty miles of country, when 1
reached the bouse of a Mr. Falls, au as-
sistaut in Messrs. Watson it Co.'s indigo
concern here. That gentleman informed
me that a woman bad died by the road
side, and that a living child was said to
be at her breast. He sent out his ser
vants, who returned saying that they had
found the eorpce aud the child, but the
mother's arm clasped the other so light
that iu betiding it Lack, stiiT aud cold, it
broke. Thev say that the livinjr and the
dead had Leon thus linked together for
died as it was being released.

tiouatc all f"d of their homes, they j
have in t t.iaDy instances fled, leaving !
their WC3 and families to starve ; but, j illustration of a great priuciple ia vege
as an eyewitness in two cases where noulur j tattoo, but ior its great historic associa
fcclingsheM their sway, I here record 1 tion. There were the graves, emptied of
them : A woman, with her three yoang ' every partible of human dust !
ehildrei crawls iuto a planter's hou.-e j 2'ot a trace of anything was left ! It
just a3 uncheon was being carried from j is known to chemistry that all flesh, and
the tafcc ; ihe begs for the remains ol the
curry and lice, which are at once taken
qii1 into the- v.-randah nnd placed before
her. Without attempting to eat, she
quietly scats her three children round the
dish, who iu a few miuiKes demolish its
contents, aud although the mother i
wasted to a skeleton, yet, mumbling her
thauks, she turus away, grateful that her
offspring have been fed, evcu while the
herself liungcrcth.
In another village wc mrt a little girl
and her mother, lying under a matiuo
tree. loth were faint irom hunger ; they
hail been trying to keep life together ou
snails picked out of the ponds, berries and
lizirds, Were they could ob'ain them, but
daiiv feelini: weaker thev had sunk down
nuder the tree, awaiting a lingering death.
We got some boiled rice aud put it before
them. The jounger is the stronger ; the
mother is to weak to raisa herself. Al
I 'bough the child's b.g eye flashed with a
''ucgry gleam, yet her little Lauds, we'll
:.!ed, first seek the mother's mouth, and
uot uuiil Iran toe rice is thus gone uoes
she herscll eat. It is impossible to judge
of the number that have died from actual
want, as no returns are kept, but taking
three districts tf Lahisore, Cuttack and
Miduapore, I should say quite 1.200 a
day. In llalasore large plague pits have
had to be dug nea( the towns to receive
the bodies of those founa dead near thtir
precincts, but ia too many instances the
bodies are left to rot on the roa i.-i le.

Tkci: A Cuiuoi.'s Incident.
-
Ninety years alter his depth, in 177 1 ,
steps were taken to erect lo him some
suitable uiotiutUCUt. but the rV.rii- -j'
Revolution came on and the work wa- I
tirgottcu. iut recent.y the question nus
Leeu agitated anew, at.d Williams may
jet nt least have some outward sign to
mark hi3 greatness and perpetuate bis
name. IHii iug a period of one hundred
aud eighty three years, cot even a rough
stone has been set up fo mark the grave
of the founder of lthcdc Islane'., till the
precise locality of his grave had been al
most forgotten, and could only be ascer
tained after tho most careful investiga
tion. Suffice it to say. however, the spot
was found and the exhumation made a
short time ago though there was little
to cshuute.
Ou scraping off the turf fiora the sur
face of tho groud the dim oir.line of
seven graves, cos'ained within less thau
one iquare rod, revealed the burial
ground of IToger Williams. In Colonial
times each fauily hud its own burial
ground, which iras usually ncr the family
residence. T'iree of these seven grave-:
were those of children ; the remaining
four were adults. The easterly grave
was identified as that of Mr. Williams
Oa digging down in the "charnel house,"
it was found that everything had passed
iuto oblivion' The shapes cf the coffins
could only be traced by a black line of
carbonaceous matter the thickness of the
edges of the coffius, with their cads dis
tinctly defined. The rusted lemains of
the binges and nails, with a few frag
ments of wood and a single round knot,
was all that could be gathered from bis
grave. Iu the grave of his wife there
Was not a trace cu my i..., .e u single
lock of braided hair, which had survived
. . a c .,:.. i
the lapse of more than one Luudrei and I
eighty y curs. '
. i mi
Near the grave stosd a' venerable arp!e
trc, when and ly whom planted is not
known, .This twe had sent two. of its
maia ruots ir.t9 the grarts cf JUr. and
Mrs. William'?. lite larger root had
ptu bed its way through the earth till it
reached the precise spot occupied by the
skull of Roger Williams. There making j
'a turn, as if going round the skull, it fol-
lowed the direction of the backbone to
the bins. Here it divided into two
branches, 'ending one along each leg to
the h-sl, where they both turned upward
to the tees. One of these roots formed a
slight crook at the knee, which makes
the whole bear a very close resemblance
to a human form. Thii singular root is
preserved with great are, not only as an
the gelatinous matter giving consistency
to the bones, are resolved into carbonic
acid gas, water and air, whila the solid
lime dust usually regains. Jim iu this
ca,e cvlu the phosphate of lime of the
boucs of both graves were nil gone I There
stood the "guilty tpphj tree," as it was
said at the time, caught in the very act
of robbing the grave."
To cxpiaiu the phenomenon, is not the
design of this article. Such aa expla
nation could be given, aud many other
similar cases adduced. Uut this fact
must be admitted ; the orgauic matter ci
11 geu Williams hd been transmitted in
to the apple tree ; it bad passed iuto the
woody fibre acd was capable of propelling
a steam engine ; it Lad bloomed in the
apple- blos.-cms, aud had become pleasant
to the eye ; and more, it had gone iuto
the fiuit from year to year, so that the
question might be asked, who ate llogcr
Williams? Hertford Vtss.

A London Letter ii the Chicago Even
ing Joiirunl has the follov. iug :
The old saying that there is no cure
f..r a broken nctk ha? just been practi
cally disproved by a surgeon at Green
ock. He was called to sec a young frirl
who had just fallen a distance cf eigh
teen feet, fini thoroughly dielocalcd the
neck. When he reached her the face
was nenrly reversed, aud looking over the
back. He promptly s'jrporteel the Lack
with the 'eft knee, took a grasp of the
head, and began to pull gradu-tlly and
pretty strong, whereupon the girl's eyes
opened and there was an effort at breath
ing. Increasing tho pressure, the parts
suddeuly came to their natural position,
and after a minute or two regular Lrea til
ing was established. Close attention tta
afterward paid to the case, and after much
fever aud occasional convulsions, the
child recovered, and is now as well ss j

little girls lying around her were
ying
tor tne want ol tread ana attention, la
this 5x they were found and brought by
some one, in a little cart, to lnshop
Cobb's Home ior Orpines. They weiu
1 brought there on 1'rMay. AVhcn these
little gulj came to the Home they wero
the picture of misery and want, and had
scarcely a rag ca to tide their nakedness;
emaciated and sallow, they looked like
living skeletons, and they were crying for
bread. The Laly, about three years cf
age, died on Saturday. The poor littlo
thing was too near gone fur any Luuiau
aid to do her any good. She begged for
bread uotil she died.
Another one earned Lizzie, about seven
or eight years of ace, died ou Wednesday.
She was a pretty little girl, but ieditcel
to a mere skeleton. She begged thosn
around ber to give her some meat and
bread to the last. The other two are still
at the Home. It was thought at first
that they would dl3 toa, but ths ohb-t
one, a bright, sweet little girl, is improv
ing. Her account cf the suffering Ihey
underwent is enough fo melt the hardest
heart to tears how they cried for bread
and could not get it that they had bceni
drawing rations, but when they all got
sick they sent their ticket by a negro
woman, but that the ticket was torn up,
and the answer was, "no more rations"
and how their poor sick mother, the even
ing before she died, with tears streaming
down her cheeks, pressed them to her be
som and much more ithich this littlo
girl told me iu a fctraight forward manner
and which Lad trutL staicpeJ upon what
she said.
The other l'ulc cirl, named Mary,
about nine years of ago. is still very low,
and it is dombtful whether she will ever
get well.
A VERY APT REPLY.
A soldier who served with distinction
as Colonel of a Michigan regiment, was
approached by z.n oiSeer who support
Johnson, with a f :igj.cstion that, as mili-
; tary men, they ought to pay their respect1
j to 1'iesidcut Johnson upca Lis arrival at

boarder would touh it. That evening"
she sliced aud fried it, but it woulda't do
it still smelt. The nest morning she
made bash of it, brt it smelt louder and
louder, when a boarder, who could stand
it no longer, spoke his mind : Look here,
old lady, you may bile it, you may fry it,
or you may spile pood potatoes by bashin
it with 'em, but that mml stinks, andyoa
can'l crowd it etown me in any shape."
"Now," continued the very po.-ittv
Colonel, "you luuko take Johnson boiled,
filed, stcwi or sandwiched between two
as good potatoes as fjraut and Farragut,
and he still stiuks. You can't crowd hint
down rae at any price."
The conversation closed abruptly.
ITow Plants Grow. Plants breathe
carbonic acid instead of oxygen. De
prive a plant cf carbonic acid, and it
would sicken and die. Over the surface
of loaves are countless nuuibers of pores
or open months which take ia the curbo
c acid. Thus tho leaves cf plants aro
like the lungs of animals. It cscijes
when ever fermentation takes place and
whenever bodies sre d onirose'J. Such
