mems of the Moburrim. Immense amounts
of money are spent on these occasions, and
marvellous presents disbursed as the wed
ding gifts, in honor of Hoscin's daughter.
It Is recorded that one,of these Mohur-
rims cost reigning nawab over a million
ard ahalf of dollars. The expensive dress
cs and appointments are never used again.
Tie wealth of the Mohammcdan population
may be estimated, says the anonymous au-
thor quoted above, by the displays they
make at the Mohurrim. All the valuable
mourning and embroidery, the velvet and
gliding, is distributed among the poor and
needy at the close of the feast 50 that the
popuiace do not want Indictment to make
the commcmoration as enthusiastic as posi-
BILE.
1t will be perceived, then, with what ra-
tional grounds for anxiety the keeping of
the Mohurrim was regarded. At such a
period, the Mohammcdan mind is easily ig
nited for the honor and glory of the faith,
and not little for the benefit of themselves
The Brahmins, however are the most prom
inent actors in the present war, and it is
Impossible to say what night have occurred,
had not the King of Dude, in whose domin-
ions the Mohurrim is enthusiastically kept,
been made prisoner by the British.
The festival or fast, CT both, could no
doubt nave been made q great revolutionary
epoch ; as It is, the reports say that is has
passed off only with the usual religious z cal
and purposes. -.Stutos.

Healing SnringS.

THE following tradition IN relation to the
discovery of the Healing Springs" and of
the Medicinal virtues OF their waters, was
obtained by the writer from gentleman liv-
ing within half mile of the Springs, and
whose family have resided in this part of
Bath County, ever since the earliest settle
ment Of the country.
Some seventy years since, a stranger BY
tie naine Of SchacfFer, afflicted with leprosy,
came to the 'eWarm Springs" where there
was small village or settlement and told
the people living there. that IN dfvom he
had been shown a place where there was a
wers s,7ring, and in which he was to battle
and be cured of his leprosy.' After visit
ing both the Warm Springs and the Hot
Springs, and noting the appearance Of the
co.ntry around each, he said that neither of
them YVES fireplace he had seen in his dream
He was then toldthatit was useless to searoi.
farther, for that lie had seen all the warm
springs that existed in this region. Schacf-
fer, however, was unwilling to abandon his
purpose, and persisted in the opinion that
the spring which he desired to find, existed
somewhere in the district of country where
he then was Ultimately he met with a
hunter, whose rude life had made him fa-
miliar with every valley and pass in the
mountains, end whe Informed him that there
were, few miles to tie west, several warm
springs, which he, Qhe hunter. } had discov-
cred in hunting, and were probably known
to no white man but himself. Thither the
hunter and SchacAer set out, the latter con-
fdently believing, t.lat the spring IF which
be was in search, once found, he needed but
Ito wash and be clean" Arriving at what
are now the Healing Springs" Schaelter
again cast his anxious glancenpon every hill
and glen around him, then turning to his
guide said, This is the place which | saw
in my dream"
Several of the springs were, at that time,
small pools of water and moss, yelling their
streams in the solitude Of the mountains, al
-:nest unseen by the eye Of man, and with
naught to break the stiffness of their waters,
save the bubbles of the seething gas that
constantly rise to their surface.
In one of these pools, our modern Naa-
man, continued fer some weeks, daily to
battle; at the expiration of which, his ioath-
some discuse disappeared, and he was per-
fectly and completely restored from his lep-
rosy. In reference to the foregoing, we have
only to add, that by whatever agency Schaef-
fer may have been led to come to those
springs at that early day, the .t'1cs that he
did come, and was cured of leprosy, is am
ply authenticated and we merely present
the tradition, as it is preserved among the
residents of the vicinity, and as it was CIV
en- to us in all its details charlottesville

Is il SO,

Some Of our exchanges seem to think,
that the Chinese Sugar Cane will in three
years degenerate into broom corn. Numer-
Gus instances arc given where it has dcgen-
Grated the first year. This statement will
be likely to create much distrust. Now ac-
.eording to the laws of fructii,eation this
cane viii Degenerate if planted in the vicin-
ity of broom corn. We have witnessed enc
or two instances of tile kind this year To
use a. common phrase, the cane will cross
with the broom corn and all similar corn or
millet. For this reason extreme caution
should be used in selecting your seed for
another year If the seed you have saved
for another years sowing has been taken
from cane that grew within one fourth o.
mile of any broom corn or millct of any
kind, throw them away; they are already
on the track of dcgeneracy. At the same
time there is not a single reason why the
Chinese cane should degenerate, provided
the proper caution is used in raising seed
