A Parsae Disaster.

The following appears in the Bombay
Gazette: Sir; In the fire temple at Chun-
dunwaddy, known as Hormusjee Wadia's
Flre-temple, are kept two white bulls called,
.NurGsias, for obtaining their urine FOR re-
hglous purposes. Their skin is said to be
perfectly white, and free from black hairs
Ii Is with considerable difficulty that these
ANIMALS are obtained for a single blot on
their surface, OF single black hair, makes
them unit Tor the performance of the
great rehglous cerembny of the Nirung-
deem They are kept IN a separate apart
ment. without any work or labor, and the
greatest care Is taken of them regarding
food and drink for the preservation of their
general health. A few days ago severe
fight took place between these two ami
mails, and the consequence was that one of
them was killed on the spot in the scuffie.
The death has cast cloud of deep gloom
and sorrow over the PaTsees in general, and
the 'Mobeds and Dustoors' in particular.
Perhaps among the so-oalled religious con-
servatives seveTeT and more dire calamity
was never experienced. The extreme i'm
portance which the Mobeds attach to the
death of the 'VurUsia is testified by the
fact that the 'Sarosh ceremony, daily
performed IN the name Of the dead, is not,
and viii not be performed in any one of our
fre-temples, till some one, man or beast,
volunteers to become the heir-apparent Of
the 'EuruSia Lastly, l have come to
understand that the Vurusia was buried
after he was baptised In the Zoroastrian
fashion with the sacred 'Zudra, or shirt.
and the 'Custi, or the sacred thread. I
postpone making any remarks for the
present

Stevens, the HOboken Millionaire How
the Family Fortune was Made.


The death of this gentleman in Paris re-
calls few interesting "reminiscences. Sixty
years ago Burr and Hamilton crossed the
river in pair of skiffs and fought that
famous duel in which the latter fell The
Jersey shore where the tragedy took place
was covered with tangled brush aud occa-
sional patches Of dense forest, and was of
as little value as wild land could be. IT
was the property of man named Stevens.
who bequeathed it to two sons. both Of
whom lived to be old men This wild land
became Hoboken, the popular resort for
Sabbath pleasure excursions, aud three fer
RES tapping New York, half mile apart,
now afford transit. In the summer 80, 900
persons cross on the Sabbath, and about
one-half of that number on other
days. The Stevenses have been hard work
ers, and to develop the paternal estate has
required great effort. They laid out piece
of woods as free park, and called It the
Elyslan Fields, and this became popular
resort for New York pleasure seekers. They
established ferries, and maintained them
for some years at a loss They built houses
and offered cheap rents. Twenty-Five
years ago Hoboken had bad name gener-
ally, and 10 live there was against ones So
cial standing At the present time Ho-
boken is city with a society of its own.
The Stevenses erected large numbers of
spacious brick houses, which they rented,
or sold at low rate, and thus a population
was induced to settle in this out-of-the-
way spot. AS the result of this lifelong
effort, the brothers found themselves
IN possession Of an estate which ranks
next to Astor's, and which must increase
steadily in value. Their ferries alone are
worth $50, 900 per annuul, and their rents
and interest swell their income to pro-
digious amount. They have always lived
plainly, and have never sought position
in fashionable life. Their ambition has
simply been to build up Hoboken, and in
this they have succeeded. One of them
had taste for scientific affairs and at
tempted to build a submarine battery, but
after years of labor and expenditure it was
distanced by later inventions. The
Stevenses are both dead, and their vast
estate will be divided among class of
heirs who will know how to enjoy it,
Mr.. Stevens second marriage illustrates
quite curiously the doctrine of a special
Providence. More than twenty years ago.
poor but excellent clergyman lay upon
his dying bed in Princeton. He had been
a professor in the college, but though a
highly gifted man. had been unable to
make any provision for his family, which
was now to be left destitute He had
faith, however, to believe that God would
provide for them, and that faith cheered
his dying hours. Little could he have
dreamed that the daughter from whom he
was so soon to be separated would WELD
the greatest estate in New Jersey, Such,
however, was the case, and after the faith

Effects Of Makefniness.

John Goulding, the pedestrian, writes to
the New York Sun as follows:
SB: Noticing in your valuable paper an
article on somnambulism, 1 thought I
would contribute some evidence of mine
on the subject, having had some experience
during my arduous task of walking 900
miles in LOCO hours. For some time after
l completed the last mile, l was subject to
fits OF rising from my bed at very Gun
seasonable" hours, and getting myself in
readiness to walk my weary mile. So
strong was the inclination that I
could hardly persuade myself that I
was not Actually on the track. During the
match l employed a person to awaken
me at certain hours You can imagine that
this methodical treatment became almost
second nature. The barber has shaved
me when to all intents and purposes asleep.
After l had finished / was ordered by an
eminent physician to be awakened at stated
Intervals, for a fortnight at least, to prevent
a violent reaction OF the nervous system. /

feats OF somnambulism than many that are

The sensation OF intense fatigue, induced

species OF langdor that is as near TO the
feeling produced by opium, hasheesh, or
other Intoxicating drugs, as can be imagin-
ed, thereby increasing the difficulties Of

she told him that when she visited the

cent peach-trellises in the palace garden of
Versailles These trellises were covered
with peaches SO large and fine that the
Queen burst into an exclamation OF delight
and said to the King she would like to eat
one The old King climbed up the trellis
plucked the finest peach he could find, and
presented it to her Britannia Majesty. The
Queen took it, but seemed not to know how
to get it peeled. The King, however, inn
mediately drew knife from his pocket and
presented it to Victoria, saying, laughing

Webster Matched by a Woman.

In the somewhat famous case of Mr.
Bodgen's viii, which was tried in the Su-
preme Court some years ago, Mr.. Webster
appeared as counsel for the appellant. Mrs
Greenough, wife of Rev. VIM Greenough,
late of Weston, tall, straight, queenly-
looking woman, with keen, black eye-a
woman of great self-possession and decision
Of character-was called to stand as wit
ness on the opposite side. Mr.. Webster, at
glance, had the sagacity to foresee that
her testimony, if it contained anything of
importance, would have great weight with
the court and jury. He, therefore, resolved
if possible to break her up. And when she
answered to the first question put to her,
II believe" Mr.. Webster roared out:
1--WE don't want to know what you be-
lieve; we want to hear what you know r
Mrs. Greenough replied: That's just
what / was about to say, sir. and went on
with her testimony. And, notwithstanding
his repeated efforts to disconcert her, she
pursued the even tenor of her way, till
Webster, quite fearful of the result, arose,
apparently in great agitation, and drawing
out his large snuff box, thrust his finger to
the very bottom, and carrying the deep
pinch to both nostrils drew it up with q
gusto; and then extracting from his pocket
q very large handkerchief which flowed to
his feet as he brought it TO the front, he
blew his nose with a report that rang dis
tinct and loud through the hall.
Webster Mrs. GTeenough, was Mrs
Bodgen q neat woman =
Mrs CT cannot give you very full
information as to that sir; she had one
very dirty trick.
Webster-"What was that, ma'am?'
Mrs. G.-"She took snuff.
The roar Ill the court house was such
that the defender of the constitution sub
sided, and never rose nor spoke again till
Mis-. Greenough had vacated her chair for
another witness, having ample time TO re-
feet upon the inglorious history of the man
who had stone thrown on his head

The ANNUAL Loss BY ATTRITIoE, in the
silver coins of Great Britain, is stated to
be increasing. The worn shillings and six
pences are purchased at the English mint
at the value expressed on the face of the
coin. To make up the difference between
the real and the nominal value of the sill
yer pieces bought at the mint for RECON-
age, the Government granted in 1867 the
sum of Els, 900 sterling, or 300, 900 shill-
ings. This amount was estimated as re-
presenting the abrasion the silver coin
age of Great Britain during the year 1867.
The weight of silver thus rubbed off by
constant handling amounts to 54,750
ounces
