he's not a bad sort and perhaps won't split on us flinging cases and bales aside they advanced quickly towards me guided by mv voice as i repea'edly haded them at last only one case stood between them and ine they rolled it away and grasped lhe one beneath which i lay " are you much hurt sir j asked tar stairs ** i can scarcely tell i replied as ihey lifted me up then i pointed iu the direction ofihe skeleton look there said " mercy mercy ! ' cried the sailor bis stalwart form trembling all over as his gaze fell upon the ghastly figure which the glare of the lamp revealed to us in all its repnlsivetiess " tis some poor fel low who's stowed himself away tor the passage be added when the first agony of surprise had passed away 1 was sorely bruised but no bones were broken the sailors assisted me along until i got under the main hatchway ; then they went up on deck via the fore castle and told tbe mate they thought some one was down the bold he think ing i had made a capture opened the hatch and i was hoisted more dead than alive from the hold beneath 1 explained all to the mate except the part relating to the two sailors for i did n.it wish to get them into trouble as they had aided me and next day the remains of the unfortunate stowaway were hro't up on deck from a paper found in the pocket of his coat we ascertained his name and foi-ner residence and afterwards learned ihat the uphappy man wished to join his sweetheart iu australia but having no money to pay for a passage in had stotved himself away in the pump well whence no sound eould reach to the deck and so met the terrible fate 1 have recorded there was no more cargo broached at night aboard the water nymph that trip someting about echoes a good ear 4'dimo distinguish one sound from another unless there is an interval of one ninth of a second between the ar rival of the two sounds sounds must therefore succeed each other at an interval of one ninth ot a second in order to be heard distinctly now the velocity of souud being eleven hundred

the direction ol rev robert bruce of the church missionary society he reports successful labors there and much to encourage the heart of ihe christian but his accounts ofihe famine in all the south ol persia are heart rending he says the official returns made to inquiries oidered by the shall who sent large stores for the relief ot the sufferers summed up between fourteen and sixteen thousand dead by famine — this kasha was the agent of mr bruce in distributing monthly between sgo and s80 among the starving people from his private funds and he describes some most harrowing scenes he says tbe past win ter and spring seem to him like a wild dream children were stolen killed and eaten horses donkeys dogs and cats were greedily devoured tlie eyes and brains of such as had died were dug out and eaton the leg bones of animals that had died were soaked and the skin scrap ed off and eaten in fine everything lhat the teeth of hungry men could penetrate was eaten the dead lay in the streets ; and the dying shriveled human forms crept along by the aid of walls to pre vent their tailing from exhaustion with open mouth yet speechless tongues beg ging bread flocks cattle and horses were either killed and devoured or died for want of glass or provender and horses were not found even for post ri ders the cause of the famine was the great scarcity of water the past two years and the terrible sufferengs ceroid not be relieved by the rapid communication as there are no railroads nor steamboats in persia the cholera has since appeared in these regions and at last accounts was prevailing the cholera broke out also in teheran and for a time was very severe ; but a terrible tempest of wind which filled tin air with dusi and which prostrated many walls and upper rooms swept over the ci.y
