FANATICAL PILGRIMAGEs.-Ab this
time of the year, tens of thousands of
pilgrims are making their way from all
parts of India to the shrine of that god
which has the power, as they believe, to
obilterate the transgressions of all who
make their offerings to him in person.
Juggernaut. the ''Lord of the World {"
has been worshipped in the sacred town
OF Pooree, in the Southern part of Oris-
80, lying about 800 miles from Calcutta,
Tor 700 years past, and the pilgrims con
stantly increased in numbers until the
year OF the fatal famine, when the whole
country was strewn with the dead. Five
years or SO ago, the attention of the
English public was called to n celebra-
ton in honor OF Juggernaut, within a
few miles OF Calcutta, at which several
natives fell or threw themselves beneath
the car, and were, crushed to death. OF
old the great festivals were never deemed
complete unless the triumphant path of
the god had been stained with the blood
OF his worshippers. But the priests dare
not encourage that custom now. IF a
deyotee fings himself down before the
1901, the Brahmins cry out it was an ac-
cldent. The idolatry, however, still costs
hundreds of lives every year. The weak
and sickiy perish by the way.side, and a
cholera epidemic usually breaks out at
Pooree when the city is most over-crowd-
ed with pilgrims. The poor creatures
are huddled together in way which
seems almost incredible to the European.
The temple of Juggcrnaut stands in n
large enclosure in the centre of Pooree.
T"ere is Grecian column of black ba
salt in front of the principal gate,
brought from Kanarok. The god lives
IN large tower, and about 64O persons
are employed. to minister to his supposed
necessities. There is nm attendant who
puts the idol to bed every night, another
who wakes him, third whose Office is to
pnt water and tootlr-pick comfortably
within his reach, fourth to paint his
eyes for him every morning, as if he
were faded New York beauty, several
Others to cook and give him his food,
i2O dancing girls to amuse him in his
heavy moments, and 5000 priests to
worship him-and plumber the pilgrims.
All this goes on yearafter year-is going
on in the midst OF this hot weather
while the pilgrims throng every road
which leads to the shrine.

THE New YonK Posr Orr1cE.-Tt

TIE New York Posr OFF1cE.-The
ceremony Of breaking the ground for
the building Of the new post Office, New
York, was performed on Monday morn
ing, 9th inst. The first shovel full OF
earth was turned by Col. Joseph Dodd,
the Oldest attache of the post Office, now
seventy-nine years of age, q native of
Bloomfield, New Jersey, whose con-
nection with the New York postal SER
vice commenced in the year 1916, direct
ly after the var with Great Britain, in
which the, Colonel served as captain in
the Jersey Fencibles. When he entered
the postal service, the post Office was
then on the corner OF Garden street (now
Exchange place. and William, in pri-
vate house, the postmaster being Theo-
dorus Bailey, who lived on the premises
Col. Dodd was the Office messenger, and
part Of his duty was to take the "Great
Southern Mail" as it is now termed,
whence it was transported by stage to
Philadelphia, ola Trenton, and thence
southwardly. This mail generally con-
sisted Of one leather bag, and contained
both letters and newspapers, mixed to-
gether promiscuously. which the Colonel
would carry to the North River shore,
and thence he would row across in an
open boat from Paulus Hook (now Cort-
landt street) to jersey City, which was
then mere hamlet, where the stage was
in waiting to take it South.
In the winter season this mode of
transit was very perilous, and the Colo
mel says he has been sometimes from 8
o'clock in the morning till o'clock in
the afternoon endeavoring to cross the
river with his mailbag, the passage 80
blocked by the ice that it seemed like an
lmpossibility for him ever to make the
opposite shore. The old veteran speaks
with pride Of the fact. however, that he
never lost mail, although, on few oc-
casions, he came very near losing both
his life and his boat. If he had an extra
mailbag at any time he thought the
amount of correspondence that people
1ndulged in was enormous.
AT that era the full force of the post
Office was five persons, including a post
master and the Colonel, and this number
was found amply sufficient to transact
the whole postal business of the metro
polls There were no railroads spanning
the States in every direction, as now.
The "Great Southern Mail" was then
comfortably slowed away in the "boot"
of q stage-coach, and if it reached Phila-
delphia in two days after being de-
spatched from New York, it was con-
sidered as having made excellent time.
TO reach Washington often occupied
more thau a week, especially in the win
ter season.

Card-Southcrn Life Insurance Com
Pany, Atlanta Department..

Pany, Atlanta Department..
To the People of South Carolina:
The above Company was organized in 1866.
in consequence Of the wholesale forfeiture of
Southern policies by Northern companies. The
unparalleled success of the enterprise has
forced several of these companies to restore
their Southern policies, from the fact that thew
could not operate in our midst without tho ap-
pearance Of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to build up
our impoverished country-every dollar of
premium being safely invested in the State
from which it is derived. The institution ia
purely Southern, and hence should appeal
with great force to the patriotism and syn,pa-
thy of every Southern heart.
'Tis not our purpose to make war on other
companies, but to exhibit the special adyan-
tages offered by this purely Southern Compa-
ny-foundcd on patriotism and solid wealth.
lts ratio OF assets to liabilities-the true test
OF company's strength, is second to none on
this contincnt-being nearly 800 to 1CO.
Whenever and wherever we have presented
the claims OF this Company it has not only
enlisted the sympathies of our people, but has
also secured their hearty cooperation. We
have secured 500 policies in Soxth Carolina
slhco the lOth OF February. We number
among our Directors Gen. Wade Hamilton and
COL VIM. Johnston, gentlemen well known to
every citizen of South Carolina. We appeal
personally to tho people of South Carolina to
assist in pushing forward this deseryedly
popular Southern institution.

TIRE POET WHITTIER.
Lecture by G. H. Brainard.

Lecture by &. III. Brainnrd.
The third OF series Of entertainments for the
benefit OF the New York Medical College and Hospi-
tai for Women was given last nightAn the parors OF
the college, No. 1877 Second avenue. There was
select and apprecative though not very large, audi
ence present. The attraction was lecture on "The
Life and Genius Of Whittier, the Quaker Poet" by
Mr.. c. II. Brainard, OF Boston The lecture was
made up OF sketch Of the poets life and recitations
Of selections from his poems The lecturer introduced
his hearers 20 the home OF the poet In his boyhood and
followed him thence through allhe varying fortunes
OF his life. He related how his first days at school
were In little room ten feet square, from which he,
with his fellow pupils. was driven sometimes by the
smoke and sometimes by the drunken brawls OF the
family resident In the front room OF the same house;
how he became q shoemaker, and how at the age OF
eighteen ne published his first poem In the Esseg
Gazette; how whie still working on his fathers farm
he sent poem to u newspaper edited by Lloyd Car
rson, which made the great agitator anxious to
what manner OF man 1t that wrote II and others
that came TO him, ana finally led to an interview be-
tween the two; how he became o echoolmasier and
failed; how he became the editor OF the Essen Ga
zttte; how he wrote his first anti-slavery pamphlet
ana how he lay in prison year at Washington be-
OF it. These incidents In his career. together
with many others, engaged the attention OF the little
audience for upwards OF an hour and half.
