IIISCELLAAEOIS. 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, SESI SSZ-JTiZ z: been ascertained that the donor is h Japanese who for many years was a domestic servant In China, hut who hy a lucky marriage had become possessed of ft large, fortune, part of which he has generously used in promoting the entente mrtlialt between the two countries.— Pall Mall (hurtle.
