Frightful Distress in Cbina.
A very dark picture t* drawn by a cor
respofidrnt of the Jimy* of tlie distress
whkii ims l» i n prevalent in China for
the hurt few months. lie say* that in
tlie Chilili and Shantung districts the
distress hm reached *uch a lieight that a
part of the inhabitants of these pro¬
vince* are literally dying of hunger
Two Europeans who had the courage to
carry *>ute provisions to a small vdlage
in Shantung returned horror-©truck with
what Uiey had seen. The inhabitants
were putting an end to their suffering*
by Mickle, and in one family the father
and mother, t* avoid witnessing tlie
death agony of their starving children,
had buried them alive.
The famine has been caused Ijy the
failure of the harvest for two years run¬
ning in districts which are generally fer¬
tile. Neither grain nor fruits are to lie
had at any price, and the land seems to
have beeu scorched by a burning w ind.
The grass hy the roadside has been de¬
voured to its very roots hy tlie famish
tug l>euple, who have stripped all tlie
to*© ut their hark and foliage. As the
winter 1ms been exceptionally severe,
many of tlie sufferers have died from
cold as well as hunger, and the appear¬
ance of the aurvivors is mostly ghastly.
When fine weather returns, these pro
vinces, formerly so populous and flour
lshiug, will have been converted into
deserts, and there w ill U* a lack of hands
tie tit) the ground for next year’s crop.
Tl»« functionaries, the bonzes and the
missionaries, without distinction
aationality or cretsl, have joined their
effort* to those of the government to
neat the famine ; hut charity, on however
large a scale praetlnxl, is insufficient to
meet all the wants. It is worthy of note,
however, that an anonymous donation,

lucky marriage had become possessed of

generously used in promoting the entente
