Madras, Aug - G.—Though the monsoon set in some time ago in Borne parts of India, dispelling all fears of the failure of crops in that portion of tne country whore rain had falleu, thero has boon no rain in Chiuglepul and North Arcot dis tricts, in this proviuco, and all hopos of averting a famine have been abandoned. The heat is unprecedented, standing grain and other crops have succiim bod to the long drouth and ail are withered and burned. Already the effects of tho scarcity of food are being felt und thore is great suffer iug among the inhabitants of the districts. Many deaths from starvation have been reportod. It is also impossible to get food for cattle, pasture lands being devoid of grasses, and in many places streams have dried up ren dering it impossible to get water for them. Livo stock Is dying in large numbers every whero in the district. It is not only the poorer classes that arc suffering from scarcity of food Many unlives of high caBto are mak ing application to tho authorities for relief to keep themselves and their families from starvation. The district of Ohingleput coutains an area of 2753 square miles, and’ according to the latest census obtainable, that of 1871,tjas 938,184 inhabitants. North Arcot contains 15146 square miles, and tho population is placed ut over 2, 000, 000. ROYALTY TO VISIT (J8.

The censuB returns on mortgage indebtedness on lands have not been entirely completed, but from what has been given out it appears that the total indebtedness secured by roal estate mortgages is $2,565,000,- 000, making a tax of over $40 to each head of population of tho 62,- 000,000 people. But if the burden of debt be laid on the heads of fami lies only, of which thero are about 12,500,000, or one for every five head of population, the debt would be $200 ouch. The St. Louis Republic figures that thore are only 2,500,000 of these families who owe this mountain of debt, and at 8 per cent, annual inter est those families will have to pay in interest alone $82 each, without getting rid of the principal. Says the Republic: “At the averago rate of American wages for unskilled la bor, each one of those heads of fami lies would be required to work eigh ty-two days iu tho year to pay inter est on the mortgage debt. The money lenders, therefore, have a force of nearly two and a half mil lion men working for them fox eighty- two out of the 365 days under a sys tem having for the money lender many advantages over African slave ry, as the ohattul slave was fed and clothed by his master and supported at his master’s cost iu sicknoBs The profits on the labor of the chat tel slave wore frequently nothing nt all, and rarely, if ever, as much as $82 not a head.” This dobt is due chiefly in the agricultural states of the west, and those most heavily loaded are Illi- nois, Kansas and Iowa. No wonder that the farmers are in revolt. Hurried To The Gallows. Albert Moroa, alias Albert, Kitch en, alias Albert Morea Kitohen, the double, if not treble, wife murderer, will expiate his crimes on the gal lows on Friday, September 18. in Savannah. His trial came on Wednesday. It was one of the quickest pieces of le gal work on record. At 11:45 a. m. the jury was secured; at 1:08 p. m. the jury retired; at 2:21 p. m the jury rendered its verdict, and at 2:35 m. be was sentenced to death. He is the man who was oaptured at the phosphate mines near Char leston some weeks ago. His last victim, Rina Kitchen, at one time lived at Beaufort. He cut her throat on April 2. In 1889 he cat the throat of Rina Morea in this city, and she was also his wife. He is also believed to be the man who A Reunco In Dr. QrlstvoM’s OlHea at Which Noted Men Were l’resent—An- •wore Through ".Spirit Knpa” Which Made a Trofound Impression. Tho htaloniont by ono of the "Fox girls," of Rochester rapping* fame, de clining that all the spirit sounds and noises were caused by tho cracking of her toa joints, leads me to give t n n ac count of a remarkable seance with these throe gills at tho time they paid their first visit to New York. After perusing it I think tho reaso r . will be satisfied, whatever of deception may have been practiced, that the toe joipt story is an ineffable humbug. It was in 1850 that tho Fox girls came to New York, astounding reports having preceded them of the noisy visitation of the spirits which had literally compelled them to leave their homo. Dr. Hufua W. Griswold, tho author and critic, oc cupied rooms at thut tiino in Broadway, between Dloocker aud Houston streets. These were on tho first floor and held his large and valuable library. He wus an unbeliever in regard to the "Tappings," not only so far as any spirit ual influences prevailed, but with respect to tlio production of the sounds them- selves, which ho pronounced “all trick.'' It was proposed to invite tlieso girls to moot a number of gentlemen at Dr. Griswold's rooms, where it was expected the “spirits" would be present, when we felt confident of exposing tho humbug. AN INTELLIGENT AUDIENCE. The invitation was accepted. At the appointed hour the following geutlemen met iu Dr. Griswold’s apartments: J. F euimoro Cooper, George Bancroft, W. C. Bryant, the Rev. Dr. Iiuwkos, Dr. John VV. Francis, Dr. E. E. Marcy, John Bigelow and myself. The threo Fox Kiris came promptly. They wero seated by a table, but not noar enough to toucli it. Tho company made a largo circle around it, and we ail impatiently waited for tho performance to begin. Utter in credulity pervaded our little assembly. A half hour passed und the spirits made no sign. The girls were repeatedly uskod how soon they would begin to demonstrate. They replied gravely thut the spirits were not under their control; that they had intimated they would lie present—that wus all they could say. At length raps began to be hoard, sounding like Blight shocks from un elec tric battery. Questions were at once in order, aud Dr. Francis tools tho floor Lis interrogatories wero leading ones, and ut tho end of a few minutes lie re signed in favor of Dr. flawkes, tho Fox girls getting the best of it. With Dr. Hawkes, who lmd been bred a lawyer, tilings did not flow so smoothly with them, but thero were several answers which excited surprise. I was seated next to Mr. Cooper, and 1 perceived lie exhibited much impatience while the questioning was going on. When Dr. Iluwkes finished, Cooper ex claimed, “Let me have hold of them.” Ho begau accordingly. Hero are the questions and answers: “Some yours ago I lost a near relative. Woe it a male or a female?" "A female." “By a natural death or otherwise?" "Otherwise." “Please rap the number of years since the jierson died." INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE. The nippings began. We all listened attentively, counting the number. As it run from twonty to thirty, from thirty to forty, from forty to fifty, we begun to hold our breath, Tho rappinga stopped at fifty-eight. Thero wus some discussion whether it was fifty-seven or fifty-eight, aud it was rapped over again ut fifty eight. I had watched Cooper narrowly. As the raps proceeded he became deadly pale. At the conclusion all eyes wore turned on him. "Gentlemen,” said he, “when I was about two years old my sister was killed by being thrown from her horse. The years since then have been correctly rapped." I saw tti at Cooper was profoundly af fected. This did not, however, stop the proceedings. Mr. Bancroft suggested that the rappings should be transferred to tho door, ho being on ono side and Bryant on the other. No questions were asked, but tho raps came out strong. After some further experiments we ad- journod with tho feeling that we had not succeeded in “confounding the Fox girls,” and we agreed that tho least said about it tho better. Fenimore Cooper died about eighteen months after this occurrence. Two or threo years Utter I was dining with Mr. Phinney of the book firm of Ivison & Phinney, and a near connection of Mr. Cooper’s. In the course of conversation he asked me if I knew Cooper had be come a confirmed spiritualist before his deatlu 1 said 1 did not. He assured mo of the fact, but could not accouut for it. 1 told him I believed I could account for It, and I repeated to him what 1 have now recorded here.—Richard B. Kimball in New York Times.

A most interesting article of The Jour nal dos Debuts describes a remarkable sceno which took placo in Jerusalem, lhe need of a municipal hospital for tho reception of all tho sick of tho city had long been felt in Jerusalem. The pasha, an excellent man, has just carried out tills important work, which had already been begun by his predecessor. Raliouf Pasha. But whom to put in caro of the sick? Jowish nurses?—for half the population to Jewish, and 14,000 more Jews from Russia nro expected. Or Mniwulinans? - for Mussulmans are also numerous. Or Greeks or Armenians, Copts or Catho lics.- The question long remained with out a solution. Finally the president of tho municipal council, accompanied by two Effendis, presented himself before Sister Sion, su perioress of tho Daughters of Charity, and asked her to givo some of her nuns for the service of the hospital. She nt once asked from her superiors tho per mission to accept the invitation, and a few days biter tho municipality itself came to thank the sisters for their con sent, and beg them at once to arrange the house for the reception of tho sick. Thore was no timo to lose. In early May they received their notice, and on Sunday, May 10, the opening was to tako placo in presence of Ibrahim Pasl.a and the cora^lio thut is to wiy, the council composed of a member of each national ity, the heads of all tho religions and the municipal council.

The nlimentarv canal was thereupon opened, and in'it they found the following objects, which prac tically turned the man's intestines into a sort of museum. The articles were: Twenty trousers buttons, threo cog wheels, apparently portions of a watch; a 3-inch screw, which was Ixuit double; a 1-inch screw, six pieces of a lock, tho largest being half an inch long and half an inch broad; a circular piece of brass, several pieces of Iron warn, some hits of brass aud lead and two key tallies on a ring an inch long, Tho weight of these vari ous articles in muss amounted to exactly half a pound.

Tlie first nest was removed aud some wire screen drawn ucross tiro opening, but tho birds picked and pulled away enough of it to wriggle their liltlo bodies through sideways, and built again. She swashed them out this time with the garden hose, but in ti little while another Uest was located aud four eggs deposited in It. Tho drowning out schomo was tried once more, but tho birds didn’t seem to mind, and investigation showed that they had roofed the nest over so that it shed rain like an umbrella, and only a little hole was left under one side for them to crawl into.

To talk of guarding against cold in summer seems ubsurd, niul yet it is ns necessary as in winter. Where thadi mate is changeable a Rot duy is often followed by a cool evening, or a sudden rain stonn chills tho air, or a cold wind springs up, grateful after the heat, but dangerous to those who aro thinly clad unless they uro protected from it by proper covering. Cotton is u good con ductor of heat aud allows it to escape rapidly from tho surface of tho body. As soon as tho surrounding air becomes cooler than the akin it steals tile heat which tiie body requires for its own needs. A fresh supply of heat must be produced, and Hum the system is over taxed to supply tho demuiids of the rob ber.

The military doctor, on being present ed to Sister Sion, said, “Sister, 1 beg you to employ all your influence with the pasha to obtain mo eight beds, so that my poor sick soldiers may be prop erly nursed." Sixteen doctors of the city who hod been invited to the opening were pre sented by the physician of the hospital to the pasha and the sisters. The rabbis, the Mussulman and Schismatic chiefs cume also to address their congratula tions to them. Finnlly tho president of the municipal council assembled all the personnel of the establishment before the sisters. A moving scene then took place.
