The KoRAN.-The Koran was writ
ten about A. d. Clio. Its general aim
was to unite the professors of idolatry
and the Jews and Christians, in the wor-
ship of one God-whose unity was the
chief point ncnlcated-under certain
laws and ceremonies, exacting obedi-
ence to Mahomet as the prophet, 1t
was certainly written i'll the Koreish
Arabic, and this language, which ceI-
talnl y possessed every fine quality, was
said to be that of Paradise. Mahomet
asserted that the Koran was revealed to
him during period of 90 years. by the
Angel Gabriel. The style of the vol
ume is beautiful, fluent and concise;
and where the majesty and attributes of
God are described, it is sublime and
magnificent. Mahomct admitted the
divine mission both of Moses and of Je-
sus Christ. According to Gibbon, the
leading article of faith which Mahomet
preached is compounded of an eternal
ruth and a necessary fiction, namely.
that there is only one God, and that
Mabomet is the apostle of God. The
Koran was translated into Latin in 1142,
and into English and other European
languages about 1868. 1t is rhapso-
dy of 5000 verses, divided into la sec
tons.

Easy method Of Determining tie Pres
ence Of Srychnid.-At the present time,
when the presence of strychnia is sus-
pected in much of the villainous liquors
retailed at the low rummeries about
town. it may not be improper to put our
readers in possession of a certain meth
cd of determining the fact, and easily
within the reach of all During the cell
ebrated trial of Palmer for poisoning, in
England, DR.. Marshall Hail. an eminent
physician, recently deceased, instituted
physiological test. and discovered that
frog immersed in water containing the
five thousandth part of a grain Of strych-
MIA, would. in short time, be seized
with tetantic commissions. This test is
far more delicate than the chemical
processes used, and will enable any one
to detect at pleasure, the presence of
this deadly salt.

SENSATIONS in DYING-STATE OF
TRANsITIoN.-What are the sensations
of persons during their transition from
this life to the future?
The following narratives, taken from
DR.. Newman's Philosophy Of Charming,
will be read with interest:
DIR. Adam Clarke, when relating his
recovering from drowning, stated to DR..
Lettsom that, during the period of his
Inconsistencies, he felt a new kind of
life. He says: Now | aver-1st,
That in being drowned, 1 felt no pair.
ID, That | did not, for single moment
lose my consciousness. Sd, [ felt indies
cribab!y happy; and though dead, as
to the total suspension of all the func-
tons of life, yet l felt no pain in dying
and take it for granted, from this cir
cumstance, those who die by drowning
feel no pain. 4th, That l felt no pain
till once more exposed to the action OF
the atmospheric air; and then l felt
great anguish, and pain returning to
life, which anguish, had | continued I'M
der water, l never should have expert
enccd," etc.
DR.. Moore cites Mr.. Green, who in his
diary, mentions a person who had been
hung and cut down on a reprieve, who
being asked what were his sensations,
stated that the preparations were dread
full beyond express en-; but that on be-
ing dropped, he instantly found himself
amidst fields and rivers of blood, which
gradually acquired a greenish tinge.
Imagining that if he could reach a GER
tain spot he should be easy, he seemed
to himself to struggle forcibly to attain
it, and then he felt no more.
Schiller, when dying, was asked how
he felt. "Calmer and calmer,' he re-
piled. DIR. Moore says that when the
vital fame fickered, almost extinguish-
ed, the heart faltering with every pulse,
and every breath eonvulsion, he said
to dying believer, who had not long
before been talking of undying love,
care you in pain?'' and the reply, with
apparently the last breath, was at is

whom a gradual disease had so nearly

t8 Now that Honolulu is fairly en-
tered In the list of whaling ports, and is
no longer merely one of several places
where refreshments can be had, but the
point from which numerous vessels hail,
it becom the part of every one who
woul d see our resident owners prosper
in their undertaking, to eive such hints
and notes of warning as he may deem
valuable. For our part we have moth
ing new to say, but we want to enforce
a fact, which although known to every
body is often lost sight of, or disregar-
ded, at the very moment when it ought
to stand out in a prominent if not para
mount position. The Chinese are, or
were, in the hatit of painting large eyes
in the bows of their vessels, because, as
they say, or said, ship cannot keep her
course unless she can see. But wheth-
er or no ship requires eyes, it it is quito
certain that she wants a head, and q
good head at that. The master of a
ship has, over his limited number of
subjects, more power than the Queen
OF England possesses over hers He

There Is no maritime act of ha6eas cor
pus to release the man whom it has put

ties he can wear out the temper of a man
who is distasteful to him, as constant
dripping wears the stone. Seeing that
1t is the object of every mans life to
reach after happiness, and that the hap
plness of his crew during voyage of
three years or so depends mainly upon
the conduct of the captain, there is a
responsibility lying upon him beyond
the responsibility of taking care Of SO

INDIAN ENGLIsH.-Am | to sit down
to my Times with Tamil lexicon on
one side and Teloogoo on the other
Am l to waste my substance on Sanscrit
and Persian vocabularies before l can
sympathize with the suferings of my
countrymen; or must / go on as at pres
ent, stumbling blindly from one guess to
another? Why do the mutineers never
rob, or steal, or thieve, or plumber
Why do they always loot? The prac-
tice at least is old, and why should the
word be new! Again, why do they cut
off the oaks, and why is there circum-
aex accent over the a? What is a dak
is it alive, or is it a road, or river, or
a water-course, or perfectly dissimilar
to anything in England? And is de-
colt anything connected with itl pass
by Sepoos and Poems, and we know all
about them, and Grifs, / understand,
are greenhorns as yet uninitiated into
the mysteries Of India. But it would
be satisfactory to know whether Baboos
are of the same genius. and whether a
comparison is meant to be instituted be-
tween the ape tribe and the newly
caught cadets. Paddy fields, | presume,
are fields of potatoes but the name
must be annoying to those gallant sons
of Erin who happen to hold the Com
pany's commission; and at the appear
ance of such words as deem and paigah
conjecture stands aghast, and despair
throws down the newspapers. Now and
then, however, there is an advantage in
the aid of mystery thrown over a com
munication by these enigmatical phra-
seS, and massacre committed with
swords and bayorets hardly seems as
bad as one perpetrated with tulwars, a
doubly diabolieal weapon. But when
the English in station escape to a cut
cherry, it would surely be desirable to
know what sort of a place that may be,
and whether our apprehensions ought to
be increased and allaved by the fact Of
the said cutcherry being pukka. Here
comes my dear friend Jones, whose
daughter has been in India scarcely a
year, complaining that he cannot make
out her letters. He knew, of course,
that his little grandson would have an
ayah, and so forth; but he is informed
that the baby has an almah, and wants
to know if it is cradle. or a battle, or
perambulator, or a hare-lip, or a straw
berry mark. And will not the child s
legs suffer if, being only six months old,
it is already put into handy? I own
| am inclined to advise Jones to be I'M
patcrnal enough to retaliate in similar
manner. and to tell Mrs Hukkab that
he is going to the Polyphloisboio Tha-
lasses, or in the slang which another
class of verbal contrabandists are trying
to smuggle into our newspapers, to say
that her last letter was rather netho-
graphic, or ask if she would like to have
Cruphabernasent out, or whether her
cook uses any anhydrohepseterion.
