VAN, Asrx’rrc TURKEY, l_
Sept. 10, 1880. )
DEAR Gazur'ru z—AIIOW me through your
columns, to make a somewhat tardy acknowl-
edgement of the $70 contribution sent by
the first Congregational church of Norwalk
to the famine sufferers in this vicinity. The
donors will be glad to know that their gift
was thankfully received. In addition to our
heartfelt gratitude I wish they could have
personally received the benedictions of the
famishcd which have been heaped upon our
heads. If they could have stood by the
door some afternoon as from 200 to 300 filed
out of our soup kitchen after enjoying a nu—
tritious meal, and heard their mingled Turk-
ish, Koordish and Armenian Prayers in our
behalf, or seen some old Koordish matron
stop and spread out her hands, holding back
the whole column, while she made her mute
appeal to Heaven for a blessing upon us,they
would have felt something of the more bless-
cdncss of giving.
But what our friends will most wish to
know is that their gift was needed, and of
this I think I can remove every doubt from
their minds.
Last year our own vicinity suffered from
drought, while to the south of us there came
the additional scourge of locusts. Nomad
Keords from the vic1nity of Mosul, whose
summer camping ground is in, the southern
part of our pachalik, poured into the city as
purchasers, and long caravans of loaded don-
keys and oxen were daily diminishing our
stores, until the roads were blocked by snow.
Beginning at three times the usual price
wheat constantly rose until it was sold for
seventeen prices. This highest price was
equal to about $22 the barrel for flour, which
, perhaps does not seem so high to you, but
it represents forty days wages at present,‘and
sixty days in the winter for day laborers.
In ordinary years laborers receive only
about one half what they do now, but they
are in the habit of buying their flour for
$1.50 the barrel: Still, with all this scarcity
and suffering, Van city has not known actual
famine. To find this we needed to go one
and two days to the south of us, and especial-
ly to the regions of Elbak and Mahmoodia.
I visited these regions in April, going most
of the distance—fifty-five rniles—on foot,
because there was too much snow for my
horse to travel. This may seem strange con-
sidering we are in the latitude of Washing—
ton, but we are between 5,000 and 0,000 feet
aoovc sea level, while Elbak plain is 2,000
feet highcr—t..at is, fully 1,000 feet higher
than the summit of Mt. Washington. I had
some $1,100 in gold quilted into the lining
of my vest, sewed into a belt, and otherwise
concealed on my person, with a policeman
armed with :1 Remington rifle to accompany
me as guard. On the way I met streams of
refugees, many of them so emac'ated and
weary that it seemed as if they must die by
the way, as in fact many did. I saw but one
unburied body by the road, but other travel—
lers saw more, sometimes stopping to bury
three or four a day. Arrived at Elbak I sent
men to canvass the nearer village‘s, and was
beset by delegations of Christians, Kocrds
and Jews, entreating for help. They offered
to sell their children,to change their religion,
to part with all that was most dear, for bread.
From careful examination in a few villages
I found that up to that time one in ten or
eleven of the people had died, and this num-
ber has probably-been at. least doubled since.
Of those who were living whole families
were often sicrr, and the mass of the popula-
tion were living on roots, straw, the flesh of
dead animals, and other injurious food. The
flocks and herds were mostly dead, and the
stench from their carcasses was such that it
was hard to be compelled to pass through
some of the villages-andwhnt must it have
been to dwell in them ?
Many of the details (which have come to
my knowledge then and since are heart-
rcnding. One Kocrdish woman, [Fotc by
name, whose five year old boy died of hun—
ger, cooked and ate his body.» Some natives
of Elhak and Gunar had spent the winter in
begging in the region of Salmus, Persia. In
the Spring 1hr}; were driven out because
some of their number stolc,uurl espcceally
becausc‘they plucked tile unripe wheat. A
iiile bread was given to each of them but
this was taken from them by Koordish rob—
bers as hungry as they. The result was that
many died by the way. Half-grown children
sank down exhausted and their parents could
do nothing but leave them as they could not
carry them and could do no good by remain—
"iem. One man found that at night
. tongue had been cut out and eaten.
h all this suffering was mingled
. , ,npression which make’s one’s blood
Lin-5m. The head of a house of over twenty
inmates was beaten till he showed where he
hada little barley, which the Koordish chief
then “borrowed" but forgot to return. The
poor man came to me to ask what he should
do. Soon after my return the road from
Elbak to Persia was opened and Ali Khan
swept down with his hands, robbing village
after village of their cattle, till in a short
time eighteen robbed villages were reported
to us. “We had hoped,” said the villagers,
“to live on our milk as our bread was gone,
but now that supply was cut off.”
I could find nothing in the region to pur-
chase with my money, and to distribute the
money itself would do little good. So I ap-
pointed a committee and hastened back to
send on grain as rapidly as possible. This
we did repeatedly, sometimes sending as
many as sixty laden mules in a single caravan.
In this land where census takers are un—
‘ll never be possible to ascertain
. r can“: whom the famine have swept
';:'.. :r. this region of Hakkiari, which
“Lurk, lilahmoodia and some other
..L.....,.s, lb is estimated that 10,000 have per-
ished, or rather it was so estimated two
monthsago, and the rate of mortality has
hardly diminished in some regions. I do
not think 15,000 would be an over estimate
for our whole vitlayctte, and it is possible
that even 90,000 have-perished. Some put
the figure as high as 30,000. This seems
small when compared with the seven or
eight millions swept away by the same scourge
in.China, but the whole population of our
villayettc was probabl y not far from 200,000.
Beyond our borders, especially in the vicin~
ity of Mosul, the moitality has been fearful,
but I am able to make no estimate of the
number of deaths.
Not all who have died have done so from
actual hunger. .A large number have fallen
victims to the diseases which always follow
in the train of famine. Their digestive or-
gans were ruined by improper, food, and
_ couldgnot recover. Eight hundred bodies
have been buried from one of the twelve
Armenian churches here—mostly Christian
, refugees who were poisoned by ilnwholesome
food before‘tbcy left their villages. Proba—
bly,_ a much larger number of Koordish
»-ref_ugees' have come to the city. to find their

them that a prominent Turk told me “they
are all dead."
‘in a majority in our villayctte, or at least one
half of the population, and yet it. is probable
that nearly nine tenths of all the deaths have
been of Moslems.
Considerable help has come to .us but not
allof it has been wisely used. The Armeni-
an committee has received and distributed
$30,000. To the Imperial Ottoman Bank as
treasurer, a commission headed by Turkish
Cabinet Ministers, has committed over $11,-
000 for Van, and the bank has made me its
agent and treasurer of the local committee.
Still I have little control over the direction
in which the money is appropriated. and I
fear rascally officials have not allowed all to
reach its destination.
To the English Consul and ourselves over
$20,000 have come—nearly three-fourths Of
it to him and the remainder to us, from Eng-
land anfl America-and this we have fora
month past used in common. We have
divided the expense of the soup kitchen, and
sent to Elhak and elsewhere without asking
whose money was used. The labor of pro—
viding and forwarding was as much on us as
on our good friend the consul, but as we
found at harvest time that a surplus of funds
remained he chose to regard his money as all
used, and so it. comes to pass that we start
on" the new year, working from harvest to
harvest. with several hundred liras on hand.
A lira is ten-elevenths of an English pound
sterling, or $4.40.
And what about the future?
I have a lctur from Uashkula,the principal
town of Elbak, datcd Aug. 15, which tells
me that refugees are dying there at the rate
of ten to fifteen a day. In that region it is
estimated that not more than one-eighth the
ordinary amount was sown for want. of seed.
Still later news from there tells me that All
Khan’s men have recently robbed thirteen
villages. In other portions of the villayette
the harvest is good, and yet wheat is dearer
now than it was last. year at this time; The
sum asked for one measure now would have
bought eight measures two years ago. The
Koords are doing mischief in other regions
beside Elbak. From Persia to the east and
from'the north shore of the lake we hear of
robberies.
Aside from this, the people are less able to
hear such hardship another year. Many
have spent their savings of years in seeking
to keep the wolf from their doors, and have
nothing left. In the regions of greatest want
they evrn tore down their houses and sold
the timbers to buy bread. ‘
Hence we look for much suffering when
winter shuts down upon us, and unless help
comes from abroad we are sure many must
periéh. We have some funds, as I have said,
and one of my associates has gone now with
one boat, taking $880 with him to buy wheat
for the poor. Still the benevolentin England
and America must not think that they have
given us all the help we need. To supply
the flocks and herds which have perished,
and in other ways to put back the unhappy
sufferers where they were before, thousands
of dollars could be profitably employed, to
say nothing of the other thousands which
are morcurgently needed to save life this
winter. Multitudes must have perished in
our city this year if it had not been for the
help from without, and I know not why it
should not be equally true in the coming
winter. So then, thousands of men, women
and children appeal to us for bread, and we
feel that we are doing good service in re-
peating to you their cry.
Yours very truly, II. S. BAIINUM.
P. S.——Sincc‘losing my letter a man sent
by the. consul to canvas ports of the Mah-
mocdia region has returned. He visited
thirty—six villages and the statistics he gath-
ered show that at least one-quarter of the
people have died, while for the coming win—
ter they have no food and nothing to buy it
with. They must be fed by charity or starve.

A WONEDRFUL INVENTION.-The Vitrified
Wheel and Emery company of Westfield,
Mass, after months of experimenting have
perfected a wheel of the most wonderful cut-
ting qualities ever invented, being composed
of corundrum, the next hardest substance in
nature to the diamond. In a scale of twelve
rating the diamond at twelve, corundum
stands at eleven; while emery averages at
eight and a half in hardness. The difficult
problem, attempted by so many, of finding a
base strong enough *to hold corundum, with
'out interfering with its cutting qualities, has
at last been solved by a happy combination of
material and an ingenious use of the process
of vitrification. This discovery, through the
rapid cutting qualities and extra durability of
the wheel 'is destined to revolutionize the
wheel business of the world. The cost of the
corundum wheel is only about twenty-five
per cent, more than that of the ordinary
emery wheel. »

A Connuccticut lawyer at Bridgeport, the

that some evidence was inadmissible. He
said, “I know that it is proper evidence.
Here I have been practicing at the bar forty
years, and now I want to know if I am a

“is a question of fact and not of law, and so
I won‘t pass upon it, but will let the jury

A PROOL‘AMATION.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. .
At no period in their history since the
United States became a nation has the people
had so abundant and so universal reasons for
joy and gratitude at the favor of Almighty
God, or been subject to so nrofpund _an
obligation to give thanks for _ his loving
kindness and burnny to implore his continued
care and protection. Health, wealth and
prosperity throughout all our borders; peace
honor and friendship with all the world; firm
and faithful adherence by the great body of
our population to the principles of liberty
and justice which made our greatness as a
nation and to wise institutions and strong
form of government and society which will
perpetuate it. For all these let the thanks of
a happy and united people, as with one vorcc,
ascend in devout homage to the Giver of all
good. I therefore recommend that on Thurs-
day, the 25th day of November next, the
people meet in their respective places of
worship to make their acknowledgements Io
Almighty God for His bounties and Hrs pro.
tection, and to offer to him prayers for their
continuance.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.

Anvron To YOUNG llIEN.—The Hon. Wil-
liam E. Dodge, in his recent lecturcou “Old
New 'York,” or New York as it was fifty
years ago, when, he was a young man of
twenty-five years, gave the' following finan-
cial advice to young men :—,-
“All young men should aim to save some-
thing, evcn all the expense of a limited ward-
robe and many little things they think neces-
sary. If there were none but .young men
here, I would say, that from the first year or
when I entered a store, with a salary of fifty
dollars, to my last year, when, as a salesman,
I received, for those days. very large pay, I
never failrd to save a part; and, when I
started in business, those savings and my ex-
perience were all my capital."
The advice here given, illustrated by such
an excellent example is worth its weight in
gold to any one who practices upon it.
Almost every one who is in the working
condition can make an income. If the latter’
be small, he can so cut'down the former as to
leave a small surplus each year. If, on the
other hand, his income be large, he can make
a larger saving, without any meanness or
sacrifice of decent appearances! What he
thus saves by not expending it, is his capital ;
and if he saves something each year, then
with each year his capital increases. This
course, pursued for thirty or forty years will
make any man moderately rich, and some
men very rich, unless the mishaps of business
shall sweep away the accumulation.

New Substitute for Ice in Skating
A new kind of floor for skating. rinks has
been put down in London. It is the inven—
tion of Dr. Calantarients, of Scarborough,
and consists mainly in’ a mixture of the car—
bonate and sulphate of soda, forming a crys—
talline mass which offers about the same
amount of resistance to the passage of a
skate iron as ice. It is claimed for the new
floor that it will last for many years at a
small expense. It cuts up just like ice, but
is easily repaired and smoothed by a specially
adapted steaming apparatus.

This bas been a year fruitful in canine
sagacity.‘ ANashville physician is accom—
panied in his professional visits by a large
dog, which watches over the horse and buggy.
One night he left the horse unhitched, and
when he returned the horse had disappeared,
but was found several hundred feet away,
where the dog was sitting on his haunches
in front of him and holding the hitch rein in
his teeth. At another time the horse was
standing unhitched near a railway track, and
took fright at the cars. Before he could run
far the dog had caught the reins in his teeth
and soon stopped the runaway. A Canan—
diagua mother thought her little daughter
merited a whipping, and as she aimed to
strike her, the Newfoundland dog of the
family caught the menacing arm in his
mouth, but did not bite. The father,coming
in at the moment, out of curiosityjmadea
pretence of punishing the child, and his arm
was arrested in the same way.

quest an examination of my stock by any one

Frost Pictures.
BY 1:. 1:.
I found when I vvoke this morning
That the frost had covered my panes
With lovely, fairy—like pictures
Of all I had seen in my dreams.
Rivera, and turrcted castles,
Gardens quaint and fair,
Lovely nooks in the forest,
Where all things dainty and rare;
Ferns and delicate mosses,
And vines together had grown,
While above through hemlock branches
A Single white star shone.
I gazed at the scenes in wonder,
And cried with eager delight.
"on! would I could keep forever
This fairy vision of night I” ,
- But 10! as I spoke, through the window
Streamed the light of the morning sun,
And ere I had time to regret it,
The picture, alas! was gone.
0 vision so fair but so fleeting!
I will not complain that you go;
Better the warmth of the sunlight
Than your cold beauty of snow.
Better the truth, though piercing,
Than a thing that only seems.
Better the beauty of action
Than the short-lived beauty of dreams.
Yet, had I the choice, I wonder
If I would have the strength to say
To the beautiful day-dreams, “vanish I”
To the healthful sunlight, “stay I”
——_—
In the Long Run,
In the long run Fame finds deserving man ;
The lucky wight may prosper for a day,
But in good time true merit leads the van,
And vain pretense, unnoticed,gocs its way.
There‘is no Chance, no Destiny, no Fate,
But. fortune smiles on those who work and
wait,
In the long run.
_In the long run all goodly sorrow pays,
There is no better thing than righteous pain
. The sleepless nights, the awful thorn-crown—
ed days, .
Bring sure reward to tortured soul and
brain.
Unmeauing joys enervate in the end,
But; sorrow yields a glorious dividend
In the long run.
In the long run all hidden things are known.
The eye of Truth will penetrate the night,
And good or ill, thy secret shall be known,
However well ’tis guarded from the light.
All the unspoken motives of the breast
Arc fathomcd by the years and stand con-
fessed
In the long run.
In the long run all love is paid by love,
Tho’ undervalued by the hearts of earth ;
The great eternal Government above
Keeps strict account and will redeem its
work. -
Give thy love freely; do not count the cost ;
So beautiful a thing was never lost
In the long run.
SCIENTIFIC MISCELLINY
Hans Buchner, a skillful German experi-
menter, announcesa discovery of great in-
terest andimportance in its bearing upon the
theory of evolution. He has succeeded in
transforming one. kind of microspic fungi,
which isa dangerous agent of disease, into
another kind of fungi which is perfectly
harmless. This remarkable result was reached
byacontiuuous treatment of the fungi for
six months, during which time‘ 1,500'genera‘
tions were produced. He was through this
process enabled to transform the bacteria
which cause “milzbrand,” the dreaded in-
flammation of the spleen,into the “héupilze,”
or harmless fungi of hay, and vice versa. He
also produced an organism,hitberto unknown,
which forms the Connecting link between
above named fungi. ‘ .
The investigations of Herr Weith have
shown that of various bodies of water, under
otherwise similar conditions, that one has
the greatest quantity of fish which contains
the most dissolved bicarbonate of lime. ‘ A
simple explanation of this seemingly strange
fact is given. The simple carbonate of lime
Is widely distributed on the bottom of lakes.
but, being insoluble, is not taken up by the
water. If, however, the water contain an
abundance of carbonic acid—which is pro-
duced, of course, by animals in respiratibn—
rhis transforms the carbonate into bicarbon-
ate, which readily dissolves in water. It
appears, therefore, that, by a sure chemical
analysis, one may with considerable proba-
bility estimate the quantity of fish in a body
of water; and, conversely, Herr Weith has
often been able to give a remarkably accurate
Statement of the chemical composition of a
body of water on learning the quantity of
' fish contained in it. -
For the discovery of a comet, on the 10th
. of October, Prof. Lewis Swift has been pre-
sented with a check for $500 by Mr. Warner,
and expect: to receive in addition a gold“
medal from the Imperial Academy of. Scien-
ces of Vienna. “During the whole history
of astronomy,” remarks the distinguished
astronomer, “I think this is the highest price
ever paid for a comet."
M. de Lesseps states that the opening of
the Suez Canal has increased the rainfall in
the surrounding country to a remarkable
extent. Previous to 1870, rain fell only
about once a year, while it now falls at least
twice a month.
M. Roudaire has presented to the French
Academy the results of his recent Algerian
survey. He believes that an inland sea of
250 miles in length may be created without
serious difficulty.
_ It is surprising how quickly the vegetation
of many countries settled byEuropeans has
been modified. A German writer, describ—
ing the flora of Chili south of the Valdivia
river, states that the scenery between the Rio
Bacon and its windfng effluents remind: him
very strongly of home. In the park-like
prairies, associated with deciduous beeches,
are numerous scattered apple trees, original—
ly introduced from Europe. The apple tree
has spread from Valdivia to Osorno, and
even crossed the Andes into northwestern
Patagonia, and spread thence eastward. In-
deed, it has become so widely distributed and
so general, that the Indians from the distant
regions of the Argentine rivers, Rio Negro
and Rio Colorado, are called mazaneros or
apple Indians. .
Two French chemists have accomplished
the important result of liquefying ozone. A
pressure of three hundred atmospheres was
applied; while the aliquifaction of oxygen
requires the enormous pressure of three
hundred atmospheres, or 4,500 pounds to the
square inch. These investigators found ozone
to have an azure blue color under all circum-
stances, the shade deepening with increase
of compression. They discovered also that
the gas is an explosive one, since,unless com-
pressed slowly. and at a low temperature, it,
exploded with a blue flame.
A French savant has made a. careful com- ‘
paralive analysis of the statistical tables of
suicides for France and Sweden. He finds
that they establish two laws, viz: that
widowers commit suicide more frequently
than married men; and that the existence
and presence of children in the house
diminishes the inclination to suicide both in
men and in women. '
Prof. Huxley says he has long entertained
the conviction that any man who has taken
an active part in science should be strangled
at sixty. In his experience, ninety-nine men
out of every hundred become simply obstruc-
tionists after- that age, and are not flexible
enough to yield to the advance of new ideas.
They are, in short “old fogles." and he
thinks the world would be benefitted by the
operation he suggests. It may be interesting
to note, by the way, that the learned profes-
cor himself is fifty-five.
