During this dreadful famine, the listorlan relales there was no abatement of delicacies at Cambyses' tables camels were rescrved to carry his kitehen furnl- ture and the trappings to surround WMm with’ cvidentes of luxury. - The officers of the Mutual Lifc of New York are modery Cambyscs. These cormorunt benefactors of the ¥widows and the orphous,” taking advantage of tho hard times, Linve compelled tho making of greater sacrifices than the “tenth man’ Iolders of pollcies, which in many Instances represented the savings of .years (the Insurcd having fondly hoped that they had Iald by some- thing for thelr Joved oncs ot home), belng pressed for money, wers obliged to sacrifice their policles, while these **heathen officers wers In the meantimoe living upon the fat of the land—drinking the most cxpensive wines, clothing themselves fn purple and fine linen, driving tho dnest equivages, and travel- Ing in Europo at the expense of their contiding and unfortunate victims.

We forded the river In the afternoun ona Sunday. those riding Amail horses awimming, and-entamped on the bank next day, Teyond the river we fonnd the conntrs dry. 1iy this time oar ten days' proviaton was af. most exhausted, - We had In 8 bageage-wagon only two harrels of four and some crackers, and most of a bmetel of whisky, which we divided that evening and prepsred for an esrly march next morninz. Accondingly, next marning we made sn early tart, nnd about 12 o'clock found a beautiful apring 0f clear water, —the firat we Liad had since leaving Peorls, and of which we partook with a will. We took dinner here and Iet our horses graze for more then an hour.
