Block Hole Of Calcutta.

! There are many persons, No doubt.
who have never heard the origin of this
often quoted passage. For them and
Others who may have. perhaps, forgotten
the subject, we copy the following art
Gle, which tells the whole mournful story;
| Lord Give, while a colonel of the Brit
ish army, commenced his career as found
or of the British empire in India. Full Of
honors and wealth, he returned to Eng
land, but being defeated in getting into
Parliament, in l755, sailed, under the
Kings command, again for India, the
company appointed him to the governor
ship of Fort St. David. But the very
day he stepped into the gnbernatorial
chair, at Madras. the Bengal Nabob took
Calcutta. Then came that chapter of
unhcard of cruelty, familiar to every child
who has learned to read the story books.
The tragedy OF the Black Hole in 1856,
just a hundred years ago.
! The dungeon was but twentyfeet
square. Midsummer heat was parching
India. The little garrison thought it all
joke, when they were ordered to go in ;
but to refused was to die, for Sara ahul
+ Dowlack's orders must be obeyed. Pro-
I longed suffering was better than instant
death. They cntered-onc hundred ami
forty-six in all. The door was closed !;
the small aperture admitted neither light
nor air When they began to exchange
J brcaths, the startling truth burst upon
them The air already was almost pu-
,rd. They shrieked-tiey yelled in
mortal agony. They screamed for water.
and they killed each other for the cup
which was passed through the grating
While the poor prisoners were biting
and squeezing each others life away,
gasping for air, water, for anything to re-
licvc them of their agony, the jaiiors
laughed and danced in pure delight.
| Holmeil, the highest in rank, offered
the iailors heavy brides but no. the
Nabob was sleeping, and no one dared
to wake him. In the morning. when
the dcbauch was slept away. he ordered
the door to be opened, and out saggcr
ed twenty three swollen, distorted living
corpses One hundred and twcnty-thrcc
we're piled up. purifying mass OF men !;
all shapes and forms were represented in
the deaths ruggle. The English women
who survived was sent TO the harcm of
Pane, Moarshed lIomeil was
saved. and tells the tale I he dead
were burned on the spot, but the har-
rowing picture did not move in the least
the granite disposition OF the human Ii
ger. The horrible deed reached Give.
and the celebrated battle of Plassey
showed the inhuman Nabod that it was
toolhardy thing to ttitlc with the fefl-
ings Of Eng lishmen. The soldiers fought
like bulldogs; revenge stimulated them
on, and the Nabob's. army Of 10000
strong was broken like reed. Give
lost but TWENTY-FIVE men.

A MYSTERIOUS PERsoSAGE.-Into a
row. every day, punctually at half past
two =. NJ, walks an elderly gentleman,
who proceeds straight to private box Ne.
:, which at this time of day is AWAY $
cd for him. There he draws down
the curtain and bushes himself reading
one of the morning papers until his din
nor, which is sariably composed Of the
same dishes, is prepared for him. gold
headed cane. with black silk cord and
,assel, MS ruftled shirt. his queue. his
htc ncckclo.h. and more than all, his
pr csc and lofty polite drmcanor declare
him gentleman Of the old scho)l.--
When his dinner is ready, it is set before
him, and two small bottles Of claret wine
are uncorked, and with it two wine glasses
are placed on the table. The old gen
tleman Systematically then proceed, t"
finish both his dinner and his wine, and
hi, manner of disposins of the latter is
what causes him to be regarded with
unusual curiosity by the frcquenters Of
the house.
He fills two glasses, drinks the con-
tents of one himself and spills the other
on the floor, and thus continues until
both bottles are emptied What invisi,
bic friend he imagnes to be present with
himself to enjoy the feast; what I'M
known deity he propitiates by this pro-
fuse libation no one can tell Certain 1t
is that for more than three years has he
persisted IN this curious custom, and dur
ing that time has not spoken to any one
connected with the establishment one
single word. His first order was written
on slip Of paper, with instructions to
duplicate it every day until the order was
coun.ermanded. Who the individual is
who persevercs in these strange whims,
the proprietor Of the restaurant does not
know, and he has too much good sense
and too much respect for his pocket to
interfere with the peculiarities of his
mysterious customcr-N. Y. Trbune.
