The fashions of the present season are certainly eclectic. , There appears to be no particular style which has become univerâ€" sal either‘iu the cut or the material of the dress, and as to bonnets there seems to be no end to the variety. Pokes of many ‘names and kinds, oapotes, toques, melon shapes, prinqeese, and Langtry bonnets are all worn. The styles are not so-exaggerated as heretofore, bot-h hats and banners being of moderate size, but apart from that {act everything in the bonnet line is to be met with. The latest oddity is a hat- With a round low crotvn, the brim slashed and turned back, and held with glitteringjet ornaments. The rim is lined with black velvet, edged with narrow thread lace and trimmed outside with jetted feathers of a new denojp- tion, soft and willcwy, and powdered With a. glittering black vitrification which sparkle like diamonds under garlight. Bon- nets composed entirely of artificial flowers arein great fashion. They are of the capote shape and made usually of one kind -9: flower, though some are shown with the crown of one flower and the brim of another; for in. stance, a bonnet whereof the crown war. composed of velvet fern leaves radiating from the centre, the brim being covered with pansies. Bonnets in dark and light English violets are very popular, also others in velvet ivy leaves with a fringe of crimson-tipped white mountain daisies and moss buds drooping from the brim. A very pretty bonnet for a brunette is composed of *very small, dark-crimson unmounted rosee, with a bunch of corn-flowers and golden wheat-heads set at one Side, «and tor a blonde a princess bonnet entirely covered with while roses or white lilac, and edged with pale green leaves. Things Io be Remembered. Every child should be repeatedly told that in escapizig from a burning house it is better to go on all-fours than upright, how ever great- tha haste, as the cold air falls to the floor, and one can breathe there when it is impossible elsewhere; and that, when one must pass by flames, the mouth and nose should be protected from their inhalav tion by wet bandages, orby a. thick woollen muffler that sifts at least a portion of the smoke and fire. Should not every girl, also, who is ever likely to bear any weight of responsibility, be forced into acquaintance with certain items in the management of diet, of advantage not only to herself, but to whomsoever may 0 )me into her hands and under her care? She will remember then that if one falls ill in a dark room, one can- not get well in it, but must be moved to a room where the sunlight enters with heal- ing on its wings thatit is well, moreover, to have a few green plants in a room, giving out oxygen and inhaling carbonic acid, but that many will produce a. sort of malaria ; that a room may he venlilated by pulling up the Window-sash and filling all the open spnCJ With box or board, letting air in without direct draught through the open line between the two sashes ; that a fire Wlll always ventilate by it's own draught, but that, in case of infectious ill- uses, one must not stand between the patient and that fire. She may also be taught a few medical facts or surgical facts, that a strong magnet will draw out a. broken needle from the flesh it has pene- trated, and distinguish between a sudden attack of apoplexy and drunkenness by tickling the soles of the feet, which in apoplexy causes a spasmodic drawing up of the whole limb, and in drunkenness causes no effect at all. “H5 filnoleluy. 7777/ egrrw That mysterious artioFe of the toilet known severally as the tournure, the‘ crino- latte. or the bustleI has once again asserted itself, and is now acknowledged as indis- pensable to a correct toilet.

Fried Cabbageâ€"Cut the cabbage very fine on a. slow cutter, if possible; salt and pepper, stir well, and let stand rive min- utes. Have an iron kettle smoking hot, drop one teblespoonful of lard into it, then the cabbage, stirring briskly until quite tender; send to table immediately. An agreeable change is to put one-half a. cup of sweet team, and three teblespoonfuls of vinegarâ€"the vinegar added after the cream has been well stirredâ€"into the cabbage and after taken from the stove. When properly done an invalid can eat it without injury, and there is no offensive odor from cooking. An excellent authority in medicine re- commends a. little common sugar as a. remedy for a éry, hacking cough, and gives scientific reasons for it. It troubled at night or on first waking in the morning, have a. little cup on a. stand close by the bed. and take half a. teaspoonful; this will be 9f benefit when cough syrups fail. If pieces of beefsteak are left over from breakfast or dinner do not throw them away. Keep them in the refrigerator until you have enough for a. meal. Then cut them in neat little pieces, put them in a. saucepan or small kettle ; pour water over them and let them stew gently for two hours. Cut an onion in slices and add it with plenty of pepper and salt. Half a. lemon is a. pleasing addition. Taploca. Puddmg.â€"Soak two ounces of tapioca in one pint of cold milk the night before using; then put it in a. saucepan With one pint more milk, two ounces of moist angst, and ten drops of essence of lemon ; put this on the fire and let it boil until the tapioca looks quite clear, which will take about twenty minutes; then beat up the yolks of two eggs, add to them two tobleapoonfuls of cream; mix these carefully in with the tapioca; pour this in a. buttered dish, set it in the oven, and bake fifteen minutes.

RECEIPTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. (Sm THE lADlES’ COLUMN. Oddities in Bonnets. (Compiled by Aunt Kate.) Hem Lightning. A last (Friday) night's London cablegram says : The Government have decided to officially undertake to aid Irish emigration on a colossal scale. The proposi~ man made V by Chairman Stephens, of the Canadian Pacific Railway, on behalf of a syndicate of Canadian railways, has been practically abandoned. Mr. Stephens offered to settle 50,000 Irish, in families of five each, upon stocked and equipped farms in the neighborhood of Winnipeg, paying all the expenses of mov- ing and settling them, providing the Gov- ernment loaned the syndicate one million pounds, without interest, for ten years, the syndicate in turn to take mortgages for $500 upon each farm without interest for the three first year sand at 3 per cent. after that, the settlers to have the option of securing their holding in fee simple at any time upon the payment of $500. The Gov- ernment at first favored the proposal, ,but the Catholic priests in Ireland opposed it so strongly that the Cabinet finally refusr d to entertain the matter unless the Don-ioion Grvernmont guaranteed the re- payment of the loan. L’;BD DUFI’ERIN'S IDEAS ADOPTED. The Canadian Government having finally decided to lend no officral endorsement to any railway schemes of immigration, the‘ Government took up Lord Duflerin’s ideas, ‘ and today decided on undertaking to carry them out. A special conference was sum- moned at the Mansion House, and after a long discussion an elaborate scheme of assisted immigration was resolved upon, based upon the principles of the United States homestead laws. The details of the ‘ scheme are not yet ready to be placed: before the public, but it has been decided ‘ to move from Ireland and settle in Canada 200,000 poor Irish in families, 10,000 fami- lies to average five persons each, aggregat- ing 50,000 people. They will be moved next spring, and the transportation will be con- tinued as rapidly as the territory to be occupied can be got ready. Those to be moved next spring will, it is understood, be placed upon the lands offered by Chairman Stephens,which the Government will accept. These lands will be divided into sections of 100 across each. every section to be prowded with all the buildings, equipments, animals, seed, and food neces- sary for beginning farming on unbroken land. Each settler will be given his home- stead free for the first three years ; after that he will be required to pay as rent 3 per cent. upon $500, but he may at any time acquire an absolute title upon pay- ment of the latter sum. It has not been decided where the second fifty thousand emigrants will be located. It is stated that in order to overcome the certain opposition of the Parnellites the Govern- ment will hold out all possible inducements to the poor in the congested districts to frail}, enter into the Government’s plans. Th'e'smndard says the Governaient has decided , to provide an additional $100,000 to aid Irish emigration, The money is to be taken from the British exchequer, instead of from the Church surplus. A Dublin despatch states: Poole has been committed for trial to answer the charge of murdering Kinney. Mrs. Kinney was one of the witnesses at the hearing yesterday. She was the person referred to by the Crown Solicitor as the witness expected from America. She corroborated the evidence of the witnesses who swore they saw Poole and Kinny together the night of the murder. A policeman testi- fied that he had seen Dalton watching Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parlia- ment and Lambeth Palace, and that he was taking notes. Various witnesses testi- fied that Dalton was a passenger on the steamer Celtic in February under the name of Johnson, and had been in America. ten years. He was also called O'Connor. When arrested inLcndon he had in his possession memoranda con- cerning the manufacturing of explosives, also a roll of paper similar to some paper around a number of brass taps found on Deasy. Experts testified that the explosive articles Dsasy and Flanigan had when ar- rested were similar to those used in the attempt to blow up the Times ofiice. They said the articles were not suitable for in- dustrial purposes. The informer Larney testified that he was sworn into the Fenian body in 1867 by Sylvester Kingston. He had sworn to assume arms at a moment’s notice in defence of the Irish republic, and to obey his superiors. He also swore never to divulge the secrets of the brotherhood on pain of death. He had attended drills, at which sometimes 78 persons were present. He had attended drills this year. Counsel for the defence objected to Larney’s evi- dence as irrelevant, but the objection was overruled. A Ullll” OF THE OLD BLQCK The President‘s son, Allan, has made a brilliant reputation among the Canadians as a salmon-angler, having succeeded in killing forty of these game fish during his recent trip through the Dominion. Per- mission was granted him to cast his flies in the waters of the upper Cascapedia River, Where, to quote a disciple of Izaak Walton. he had an unobstructed run of luck, as these waters had not been overworked by fishermen. His largest turned the scale at forty-five pounds. President Arthur's record as a salmon-fisher has been eclipsed by his son,who has an outfit second to none in the country for this description of sport. The Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise took considerable pains to make the young American feel at his case while in Canada, and insisted upon his spending a. portion of his vacation with them at Que- heo. It was a suggestion of the Marquis that Master Arthur should fish in the upper Cascapedia. as the former had set it apart to be used only on special occasions by his lfriends.â€"Chicago Times. 200,000 lrlnh to be Heulvd in Canadaâ€"- Holnenlcnds, Implant-Ins and Feeds Providedâ€"Liberal Terms 01 Settle- naenl. r - r ‘ IRELAND FOR 5 GANADA.

Young Arlhur‘u Fishing Exploits. A DYNAMITER’S TRIAL. VOL. XXV. A last (Wednesday) night‘s Montreal despstoh says : A terrible catastrophe hepLened on the St. Lawrence at Yum-Lelia, this morning, by which two sons of Mr. Perdis, Chief of Police here,‘e.ged 18 end 20 years res ,ectively, and a. child lost their lives by growning. It appears that Mrs. Lafleur,her three children and the Peredis’s Went out in two small boats in tow of the steamer Sorel for a. fishing excursion. when the skifls came into collision and upset. The lady came to the surface first and grasped two of her children, whom she sus- tained above the water by holding on to the upturned beat until she and her children were rescued. The third child was out of reach of its mother with the two young men, and before any assistance arrived all three met with a. watery grave. Mr. Psrsdis’ sons were students at the Montreal College here, and were on the eve of finish- ing their collegiate course. They were very promising young fellows, having carried off the highest literary honors last session. Great sympathy is expressed here for the suddenly bereaved parents. Picnic Pally Attacked by Rehabsâ€"One of the Rowdies Ulluslnfl- A Montreal despstch says : A very mys- terious affair has happened about seven miles from the city. On Sunday last at Back River a party of young French- Canadians of both sexes went out to enjoy themselves at an alfresco dance and picnic. While enjoying themselves in the mazy dance the men were attacked by a lot of roughs who assembled on the bank of the river. The male part of the assembly resented the impertinent intrusion of the crowd, and made so vigorous an assault that the parties broke and tried to run away. A young man named Lamoureaux. of this city, was among the rowdies, and he ran towards the river bank, when, arriving at its edge, which stood considerably above the water. he was struck by a stone on the head and disappeared instantly in the rapids below. He has not been seen since, notwithstanding every possible search has been made for him. Awitness who saw him fall in has come forward and made his declaration of the fact to the police.

A Grand Rama: Mun Shoots Ilia Wile [or u Burglar. A Grand Rapids, Mich. deepatoh says : Eugene Hamilton, a conductor on the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad, living at the corner of Cass street and Fifth avenue, had a visit from burglars on Mon- day night, and last night, armed with a revolver, took up a position in his kitchen to await a. second visit. His wife was sleep ing in the bedroom, but was awakened by a noise in the street, and got up to investi- gate. She paesed through the room, and her husband, catching a glimpse of her, thought she was a burglar and fired, the ball taking effect in the forehead, glancing over the skull, and coming out above the right ear. The wounded woman uttered a scream and fell to the floor. She was alive at noon to-day, but unconscious, and slight hopes are entertained for her re- covery. Hon. Gr. Allan .returneti to Toronto last night from his summer residence on the'shore of Keinpenfeldt Buy. In conver- sution with e. reporter he said that his son had been camping on the bay shore, about two miles north of his residence. with a. brother and several members of Mr. McInnee’ family. The two young men rowed down the boy on Fri- dsy afternoon to the house to procure some provisions, and started to sail back to the camp in an open skiff. There was a. strong northwest Wind blowmg at the time. and it is supposed they sailed out into the bay before tacking about for the camp. The boat must have ospsized. about half '8. mile from the shore to have been drifted by the wind past Big Boy point to Georgins Island, where it was subsequently found. One of the ours was found with the boat, and the other had drifted ashore at Big Boy Paint. Mr. Allen has employed two men to camp on each side of the-bay about Shanty Bay in order to keep a. lookout for the bodies of the ybun'g men in case they should be drifted in by the east wind that has been blowing for a. day or two past. _ It is now over a week eincé'the young men Donald Molnnee and Selby Allan were drowned in Kempenfeldt. Buy, and no trace of the bodies has yet been diecovazed. The lust lingering my of hope that was cherish- ed by the relatives of the missing youths has been extinguished by the identification of the bout that was found at Georgina Island as the one which was used by them’ when they went out last Friday afternoon. Another victim of the ill-fated Aeia. was picked up by Mr. John Wallace and other fishermen at Squaw Island a. few days ago. The head had fallen ofl, but the clothing had kept the body together. Mr. Wm, Baton, of Arran, whose eon and wife and two children were on board, had sent a. description of the clothing worn by his son ends. pair of boots which he were that were newly vamped, all of which cor- respond exectly with the clothing on the body. The sum of $140 was found in his pocket in a. good state of preservation, which was handed to the bereaved father. Hon. G. W. Allan Gives Up .v All Hope.

Till} BARR] E ACCIDENT. SAD DRO‘VNING»ACJ [DE 1'. A Viclim of the lll‘tnled Asia. RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, ‘1883 WAS IT NIUKDER? A FATAL MISTAKE. Inside, matters want better. No great effort'wes made to marshal the multitude that surged about in these long halls and intricate passages and courts that led nowhither ; but on the whole the multitude managed to imarshal itself. It did not much matter whether you lost your way or not, for wherever you found yourself enter- tainment was to be found also. The electric light, of which so much is heard, was used in some of the galleries, but not all, and there were spaces where darkness reigned. The great covered promenade was brilliantly illuminated, find it was there that the royal party first made its appearance, about half-past 9. The Prince and Princess of Wales were accompanied and attended by a small group of ladies and celebrities, and the most gilded and brilliant youth in London ; by Sir Cunlifle Owen and Sir Frederick Leighton ; by the Hon. Oliver Montague and the Hon. Harry Tyrwhitt ; by Capt. Seymour Wynne-Finch and Mr. Whitiord. The Princess of Sexe-Meiningen was with the Princess of Waless. This princely company emerged from the east end of the gallery amid an eager throng which collected in an instant, and which perhaps never after wholly quitted them. The first halt was made by Lady Duflerin’s fish-pond. Lady Dufierin had enlisted a. cohort of charming creatures, each with & cavilier to supporther, s dozen or more in all, stationed them on the borders of her fish-pond and commended them to seize on ellpessers and compel them to fish. The pond was a. shallow square strewn with psrcels wrapped and tied up, one of which you were permitted to fish out on payment of a. shilling. The Prince fished; the Princess fished; the Princess of Sexe Meiningen fished, and for hours afterward the entire British public fished away as hard as it could. Perhaps the police did not take account of these circumstances, and did not expect a. crowd to a. show which it cost $2 50 merely to get into. For whatever reason, they allowed a. mob to take possession of Prince’s Gate, the street out of which you page into the exhibition. Alike at the royal and general entrances, the uproar and com fusion at 9 o’clock last night were of the most formidable kind. The score of visible policemen who strove to;reetore the tumult were in more danger themselves then of help to others. Cer- riagee and cube in the roadway, the mobs aforesaid on the sidewalks tore about as they liked. and the crush of genuine Visitors at the general entrance was hardly less dangerous. I heard of women feint- mg. I saw a. great many on foot in the street who had got out of their carriages because they-were afraid to stay within, or because their coachmen were helpless. Later, I believe, an adequate force of police was deepetohed to the scene. tied somebody with a. head on his ehoulgfier‘e too}: charge. The London correspondent of the New 'York Tribune writes: London has not often seen a prettier sight than the fete given last night at the Fisheries Exhibi’. tion, of which the courts and galleries and gardens are curiously adapted to the pur- poses of such a festival. With considerable courage the promoters announced it as the fete oi the Benson, but their prediction came true to the letter. It is just possrble that the ostensible purpose of this bazaar might not of itself have roused any fervid enthusiasm. The “11137151. ing of an English Church in Berlin may be desirable to English Ghurchmen who fre- quent the Prussian capital, but why should half London pour into South Kensington in aid of this enterprise ‘2 The truth is that to their spiritual or missionary zeal the promoters of. the scheme added much worldly wisdomv As it had to do with Germany and was a favorite project with the Crown Princess of Germany, they found no greet difficulty in securing the EHelp of several members of the German {Emily now reigning over this English ‘ kingdom. Then the word Went around, as it ‘ sometimes dcea, among the ‘ people whose authority in society is supreme when it is unanimous, that everybody was 'to take part in the fete. It would be hard for anybody to reiuse anything after the Princess of Wales herself had consented to play the pert of a.‘ flower girl Other royalties were to be had for the asking, and when the royalties lend the way in London, who shall stay behind? Soit came about that the list of patron- esses and stall-holders and ssleswomen for this feirino‘luded numbers of the “ sweet- est " people and greatest ladies and most beautiful women to be found among the few thousands who make ' up the cndon world. Further on were stalls where the Prince and Princess Christian and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught sold road and drink. Other food and drink were elsewhere to be had of the Duchess of Manchester. of Lady Ampthill (still, perhaps, more easily known as Lady Odo Russell). of the Duchess of Hamilton. of Lady Brassey, of the Lady Mayoress. There was an American bar, where all the papers will tell you that the wife of the American Ambassador disv pensed drinks, long and short, but where you may look with better success for other American ladies less diplomatic in charac» ter. Mrs. Lowell was not there at all. The use of her name was entirely un- authorized, and even had her health allowed her to be present, an American bar would not have been the department over which she would have chosen to preside. The wife of the Chinese Ambassador is also said to have been present. I saw a pale yellow lady answering to this description, . and tea she certainly sold, but whether she was or was not the ambasssdress. 1 will not undertake to say. What is certain is that the Princess of Wales did sell flowers in the conservatory, arriving long after the hour named, and after a promenade which included avisit to an improvised theatre and a stroll in the gardens of the Horticul- tural Sceiety. These were hung with innumerable Chinese lanterns and lamps, and from time to time flooded with the light of some mysterious illuminator, various in hues and delicate in its bril- liancy. Here the scene was really lovely and fairy~like ; boats floated over tiny lakes, reflecting every jet and tint from above; trees, and shrubbery, and banks. and belts of foliage, and the buildings in the background, and the gayly colored tents, and the stands for music, and the move ments of the massesof people, and the deep blue sky overhead blended into one singu- lar picturesque and dazzling whole. The conservatory lay beyond, and thither finally the Princess betook herself, and with her princely hands bestowed bouquets,for which her loyal admirers in front of the counter THE PRINCESS 0F WALES AS A FLOWER GIRL.

A LONDON FETE. “ We now have 8. patient under our charge who firmly believes himself to be an Atsorney-General of the United States. His lungs are affected. and he says that: he will be obliged to give up making long spewhes, unless - the nightwatchman in his ward stops the man who nightly comes to ‘ his bedside and ‘forcer‘w quuubifiyrof powder down his throat and explodes it in his lung.” “ ‘Well, you see, this man used to be white, but he swam across the English Channel and the sun turned him that color. I am bothered so much in explaining how he came to be black that I guess I will have to bury him and keep him under ground awhile, to bleach him out.’ " We have a. colored insane man who works about the island in company with a. white patient. The white man declares that his colored companion is his uncle. When one of the doctors asked him to explain how a. colored man could be his uncle, he said: “ The colored man is as crazy as his companion, but knows that the Channel story is not so, and laughs when the alleged nephew endeavors to_expla.in it to visitors.” “ Doctor, it is apositive shame that I should be sufiered to work uboufi the halls when you know as well as I do that I have been dead for nearly five years. Look at my teeth and see how decayed they are. Why, I am liable to breed disease among the patients during this hot weather. You had better bury me before it is found out, and then you won’t get; yourself into trouble.’ ” A little, wiry, middle-aged man with a keen eye can be seen almost every day ntanding in one of the wards with his hand graéping the imaginary throttle-valve of a. locomotive. His brow is contracted and he occasionally shades his eyes with the opposite hand as if peeping ahead at the track. At intervals of perhaps five minutes he draws his hand back and the qbntracted brow gives place to a pleasant smile-a station has been reached. “ This letter must appear very strange to you, but to me it is one of the most com- mon occurrences in the life of an asylum physician. You will probably be astonished to learn that this letter was written by a. dead manâ€"that ie, a. man who believes him- self to be dead. He is a patient in this institution, and he is sufiering from a. mild form of insanity. For years he has been kept on duty about the halls, bun, neverche less, is firm in the belief that he is actually defunct. The other day he called one of the doctors aside and said : Poor fellow, he labors undsr the impres- sion that it is his duty to run a. locomotive nearly every day. and he will probably at last meet his death standing with his right hand at the lever that controls the throttle.

Physicians in charge of the lunatic may lum at Ward’s Island are constantly perplexed by absurd rumors which are-set afloat by the inmates and are surreptitiously sent to newspapers. The World recently received a very circumstantial account of a man arousing the keepers at an early hour in the morning by a. frantic appeal to be released from the dead house, where he had been eneofliued on the supposition that he was dead. When it was shown by a. re- porter of the World to Dr. Troutman, Assistant Superintendent of the asylum at Werd’e Island. helaughed heartin and said: An astronomer is another of the char- acters found at the asylum. He is a venerable man with long gray beard. He scans the ceiling with an instrument through which the eyes of a rational per- son cannot see. The rings of Jupiter, the belts of Saturn are explained to the keepers time and again. The spots on the sun are absorbing his attention nowadays. Some of the unfortunatee have imbibed the idea. that they are the President of the United States, others labor under the delusion that they are members of the Cabinet, and there are still others in whose demented minds the impression is immovably fixed that they are kings, princes or diplomats of high rank.

But, unfortunately, the natural drainage of the place is obstructed by sand ridges which run parallel to the coast, and not downward toward the sea. The chill of the night and the soaking of the dews are bad enough, but the great car festivals take place at the beginning of the monsoon or great rains, and the water pours down from the skies in great, solid sheets. Every lane and ally and sand gully then is invaded by torrents of water. and many weak and dying pilgrims are washed about; they are too weak to rise, and many of them lie, throwing their arms and legs around in agony. Some 0! them are rolled about by the torrent until they have lost all their clothing, which is always mere wraps. Others lie quiet enough, hav- ing apparently died Without much strug- gling. “ Great dams of dead bodies are often formed, behind which the insufferable filth from thousands of other pilgrims accumulates. The bishop of Calcutta says " the hot. tors are unutterable.” There are so-called corpse-fields about the town where those who die daily and in the ordinary course of human events are thrown. Carrion-birds are seen sitting around, gorgsd, and wild dogs lounge around, filled With the flesh of man. When the weather becomes too had, those Pllgrims who can afford it are forced in-doors into model lodging-houses. The town contains a resident population of 25,000 in 6,393 houses, and 5,000 of these houses are arranged for the accommodation of pilgrims. The scenes of agony and suf- focation which take place in these dens baffle description. Dr. Mouat examined the best pilgrim-room, in which 45 persons had spent the previous night. It was 13 feet long, 11 feet broad, and 6% feet high. There were, of course, no beds, and each pilgrim had only as much room as he or she could cover lying down. In another room, 12 feet by 20, 80 persons had slept. Each house is built upon a sand or mud platform 4 feet high. In the centre of this platform is a hole or cesspool, which receives all the filth of the household and the discharges of the residents. Sometimes this cesspool has a drain to the street cut- out, through which a black, stinking ooze or pestiferous slime trickles into the street. Sometimes there is no drain, and all sleep around a deep, open cesspool. The term perature of the room varies at night from 85 to 100 degrees, and those who live in temperate zones can form no conception of the suffocating stench which prevails. Here are also bred those malignant fevers which sometimes accompany and compli- cate cholera. Sometimes ninety thousand people are crammed into these five thousand logging houses._ to 300 or more persons, and at the time of the great festivals these follow each other so closely as almost to touch each other. At least flve-sixths are females, and 95 out of each 100 on foot, but occa- sionally some big rajah, or great nabob, sweeps along with 40 or 50 palanquins, 300 bearers, and 50 baggage-carriers, or with scores of elephants and hundreds of camels or horses, in - all the indescribable noise, confusion and dirt of Indian magnificence. Twenty-four high festivals take place at Juggernaut every year. At one of them, about Easter, 40,000 devotees indulge in opium and hasheesh to adegree that shocks the observer. The great car festival takes place in June, and for weeks beforehand the pilgrims come trooping in by thousands eVery day. Day and night, through every month of the year, troops of pilgrims pour along the great' Orissa road to Juggernaut, and the Villages for 300 miles in every direction all have their pilgrim encamp- ments. They often travel from 1,000 to 1,400 miles, now a large portion of the Way by railroad, but many walk or ride in carts 300 or 600 miles, and are always foro‘ed by the drummers to make full day’s march. Many a delicate child, girl, woman or man drops by the wayside, and almost all arrive at Juggernaut lame, and their feet bleeding and bound up in rage. Then they rush into the sacred tanks or into the sea, and come out washed, to dress in clean garments. They bathe every day, and at the great festival 40.000 run together into the surf, as Juggernaut is quite near the Bay of Bengal. The food of the pilgrims is also very bad. The temple kitchen has the monopoly of cooking for the vast multitudes. When fresh it is not always absolutely unwhole- some, although often made of poor rice and worse ghee, or melted butter. But it is re- garded'as too sacred for the least part to be thrown away; all must be consumed. In the hot seasons large quantities soon under- go acid and putrefactive decomposition, and in 48 hours much of it is a loathsome mass, utterly unfit for human use, but it must be eaten. The richer pilgrims give this to the indigent. but it is dangerous even to the strongest man in the most robust health, and most of the wayworn pilgrims reach the temple with some form of bowel complaint. This spoiled food is the soul nourishment of the large army of beggars that follow the pilgrim bands. But on the return journey the misery of the pilgrims reaches its climax. They have been plun- dered by the priests and landlords, and stagger along with heavy burdens of the holy food, which is either packed in baskets or heavy earthern pots, or merely wrapped up in more or less dirty cloths. Every stream is flooded in the rainy season, and they often have to sit for days on the banks of rivers and brooks before any boat will venture to cross. Then corpses lie thick around,and their filth accountsfor much of the cholera which haunts the precincts of many brooks, streams and rivers. One English traveller saw forty dead bodies on the banks of one small stream. Some drag their weary limbs along till they drop from sheer fatigue ; others crowd into the villages and halting places, blocking up the streets after every available sleeping place has been The Oriental Pi rimages plo Puriâ€" Scones at Um“. rn Wrenchedne-ss and Miseryâ€"An Annual Sacrifice of Silly Thousand Lives.

If it were on the west coast, near Bombay, cholera. would be sent to Europe, and perhaps America, almost every year, unless the 'Brltish Government pleased or was forced by other powers to luterfere with these destructive follies.

A particular case having been submitted to him. he said he had no fault to find with a certain schoolmaster who had allowed his boys,to play one of Terenoe’s comedies. After enumerating several aspects in which be regarded theatrical representations as useful, he added: “If we keep away from the theatres because the pieces acted olten turn upon love, we must, on the same plan refuse to read the Bible.” On Malthusianism, by anticipation, he expresses himselt in such a sentence as the following: “ To rise betimes and to marry young are what no man ever repente of doing." Again: " It is no more possible to do without a wifé than it is to dispense with eating and drinking.” some of Marlin Luther’; Teaching». Apropos of the Luther celebration, it is interesting to remember some of the utter- ances of the great reformer on what were questions of the day in the sixteenth cen- tury and are equally so in the nineteenth. On Sshbstarismsm, for instances, he thus delivers himself: “ As for the Sgfleth or Sunday, there is no necessity for its obser- vance; and if we keep it, the reason ought to bemot because Moses commanded it. but because nature likewise teaches us to give ourselves from time to time a day’s rest, that man and beast may recruit their strength, and that we may go and hear the Word of God preached.” As curious a diotum’of Luther’s as any is contained in his answer to one Dr. Hem- ming, who asked, “ If I had amassed money and wished to keep it, and a men came and asked me to lend him some, might I with a good conscience say to him, ‘ I have none ?’ ” “ Yes,” replied the Doctor, “ you may do so with a perfectly good conscience for all it means is, ‘ I have no money i wish to part with.’ ”â€"â€"Sc.

This fact has impressed me the more on account of the amusing misinterpretations that have been made re- garding this department.
