How RIVERS IN INDIA CHANGE THEIR
COURSEs.-A remarkable instance of the eX-
tent to which Indian rivers are apt to change
their courses is furnished by the history of the
Brahmaputra during the last ninety years. In
1885 that river flowed far to the east of Dacca,
which joined with it to form the Magma, AZ
that time the direct outlet for all the drainage
of the Assam and Caehar valleys. Since hen
however, the BrahmaputTa has shifted its main
channel nearly 200 miles westward, consgning
many an ancient city to ruin and giving birth
to new centerS of trade and population. All
this seems to have happened in the space of
twenty years, the process having been pretty
nearly completed in 1880. The Jheels or swampS
of Silhet, deprived of the vast supply OF silt
which the Brahmaputra used to wash down
from the hills and higher valleys lost their
chance of an early transformation into cultiva-
bic land. The influx of the Rrahmaputra
into the Gangetic river system tended
TO develope the process of Matchmaking
in the Gangetic delta, by forcing the Gangetic
rivers to spread their silt over wider area than
before. While Sonargaong, tue old capital of
Bengal, deserted by the river to which it owed
its prosperity, is now a mean village surrounded
by heaps of brick and jungle, the great trading
mart of Seraiganj, where SO much iute was
damaged by the late cyclone, has sprung up like
gourd on the new channel of the Brahinapu-
ira. The trade of Dacca itself is even now
threatened by the same disturbing cause. SINH
lar changes appear to be going on in the Ganges,
one of which we lately mentioned as tending to
undermine part Of the railway between Col
gong and Rhagalpur. 1t isHnot unlikely, as the
Engshman suggests, that these changes may
have something to do with the prevalence of en-
demic diseases, like the Bardwan fever, in the
districts affected by them. The matter, at any
rate, is one that calls for and would doubtless
repay careful inquiry, liens Indian Mail.

KENTUCKY JUsTIcE.-In 1865 W. B. Holder
was murdered in Powell county under the fol-
lowing circumstances: AT a wedding party of
wild young men, under the lead of Capt. VIM.
townsend IN drunken lrolic, frightened the
bridegroom from his bride and the house. u
| umately he was induced to return when con
| Vlnced that the boys were only larking After
s"ards 1t was proposed that Townsend should
| put all the men in the house through drill on
me moor. They all fell into line except w. Z.
holder, who was conversing with a lady, and
| who excused himself by stating that he had
taken no part in the previous fun, and had no
desire to participate in that then going on.
| Whereupon Townsend "a most reckless dare
devil, who had killed during and after the close
| Of the war some twenty mem ordered him TO
fall into line, assuring him that he would elbow
| his Cd d-n brains out if he didn't"
Holder again refused. Townsend repeated
his order, reiterating the threat to blow
his brains out if he persisted in refusing.
Holder raised to his feet, and looking Town
send in the eye, told him that he (Hoder) had
been at Shiloh, Chickamauga, and other places
where bullets rained thick as hail. and had fallen
into line, but he had never been ordered to do so
10 that style, and he didn't propose to submit 10
Il now. You may blow my brains out, Captain
townsend, Tor am unarmed and unable to de-
Tend myself; but I'll die before | will suffer my
self to be frightened or driven into anything
don't want to do" This seemed TO infuriate
Townsend, who ierked his revolver from its
sca60ard, and, placing it against poor Holders
forehead, hred, scattering his brains in every
direction He was so quick in his movements
that no one could interfere to save his poor VIC
tim. The trial has been continued from term
to term, until last week, when the murderer was
convicted of mansaughter and sentenced TO
serve ten years in the penitentiary. The verdict
was rendered on Friday evening after fifteen
minutes consultation. We are informed by one
Of the iurymen that they were unanimously in
favor of hanging the murderer, but were com
PEELED by the instructions Of Judge Elliott to re-
turn verdict for manslaughter-tha they had
no discretion in the matter. The court was com
PEELED to summon a jury from Clark county to
try the case.-M. Sterling Sentinel.

A DOG BURGLAR.-Fwo members of a dan
gerous gang of burglars were brought up before
the mixed court Of Shanghai the other day
They were respectively man well known to the
police, decorated with scores of previous con-
victons, and dog; and the charge against
them was that of lettering about the settlement
at unreasonable hours with felonous intent
The man was observed about three O'Clock in
the morning skulking about in an out of the
way part of the settlement attended by three
dogs. After watching the four for some tane,
the constable advanced and seized the human
member of the band. Two of the dogs made off
as fast as eight legs could carry them, but the
third followed the bpeds to the police station
Here the Cbinaman was carefully searched, but
nothing of a eliminating character was found
upon him. But the dor, in his anxiety TO see
all that was going on, came out from under the
friendly shadow of a chair, where he had hither
to rested into the full glitter Of the gas. The
sharp eye of the officer on duty then observed
something about his neck, which on examina-
tion turned out to be packet containing flint
and steel with some finder paper-well known
appurtenanceS Of the cracksman's craft. The
constable then remembered having noticed that
there was something tied round the necks of the
other dogs and it was naturally presumed that
they were equipped with similar professional i'm
plements. But they seem to have been better up
in the stage movements of their profession than
head and that of his chief into a trap The lat
ter, however, seemed to have an aptness to
learn, for as soon as he was relieved of his i'm
plements and he saw his master being conveyed
to the CELL he gave them leg bail with all speed.
He thus escaped the cangue-a most uncomfOrt-
able dog collar-to a month of which his mas
ter was condemned next day.

BAD MBMoRY.-Those even who are cursed
with the most treacherous memories generally
retain pretty accurate recollection where dol
lars are concerned. But there are exceptions TO
every rule, and curious one occurred a few
days ago in Paris. One Madame LIE Brun,
when leaving the Vincennes railway station,
saw little packet drop from beneath lady's
dress. She picked it up and gave it to her, but
the la1y denied all knowledge of it, and said
that it could not be hers. Madame LIE Brun,
much puzzled, spoke to one of the off
cias AT the station He opened the mys-
FERROUS parcel, and found that it con-
tanned about $4,000. Madame lie Brun
then rushed once more after the lady, who
came back protesting that it wasn't hers; pres
emily, however, the recollection suddenly flashed
across her that her mother, who had recently
made great deal of money, gave her present
day or two before of the sum in question, but
knowing that her daughter was going to pay
several visits took the precaution OF sewing the
packet of notes into her pettcoats, an at
tention which, had it been effectively carried
out by a more vigorous ply Of the needle and
thread, would seem to have been by no means
ill-bestowed in the case of lady who totally
forgets in a few hours a packet of $4,000. 1t is
not every one who, when losing money, has the
luck to meet with Madame lie Brun.
