MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS.
Whole provinces ia the interior of Russia have had four years of continuous bad crops, and the result is that tbe inhabitants of entire districts are actually dying of starvation, many of them having to be content with a piece of dry bread once in two days. The ' New Zealand Methodist,' referring to the censure which Judge Williams, of Melbourne, passed on the Fisk Jubilee Singers, says : — " Speaking of New Zealand, which has been twice visited by this talented troupe of singers, we venture to say that no one need have been under the slightest misapprehension with regard to the object for which the concerts were given. Wherever they went, so far as our acquaintance with the matter gees, Mr Loudin was careful to explain 'that while the troupe as originally constituted had travelled through America and Eu-i rope to raise funds for the Eisk University at Nashville, the company of which he was manager was singing for their own personal benefit."
