Two or three months ago the Christian Herald, of New -York,- started its noble relief work in famine-stricken India. What has been done by that journal and the thousands of contributors to the fund has been really marvelous. Shiploads of com and other provisions have, been sent to the famishing millions, and hundreds ol thousands of dollars has been sent in cash to help the relief committees in-their work. When the work was started Dr. Louis Klopsch. proprietor of the Herald, visited India to learn how best to conduct the work: He personally visited the plague, dis- . rrii'ts and secured valuable.! informal ion rh.it has been of material advantage in dealing' with the momentous under taking:. Since his return to New York he has given several i'.ifc.re-ting articles' to !he public, depicting I he horrors that came before him on his trip through the .laud.

Reduced to a living skeleton, the balls of her eyes were actually decaying in the sockets of her ghastly skull, and flies innumerable, were acting the part of scavengers undisturbed She stood bareheaded in a sun which would have been fatal to me in less time, than it takes to write this incident. Her claw-like hands inactively hung 'down her sides, until she heard our fooi steps Then they were raised appeal- in ffly in the direction of the sound, while, she mumbled almost inaudibly her plaintive petition. Not realizing at first that she was blind, I walked up close to her, when another more frantic effort on her part brought her two hands into direct contact with my face. \"I shuddered as I felt the cold,\" clammy touch, but being blind she could not see it. I quickly got beyond her reach, and then, as I supposed, unobserved, placed a rupee in her hand, jn another instant a dozen other miserable remnants of humanity pressed forward, pleading vociferously for help.
