necessary to their happiness that the hero OF
our tale should redeem his fair one from tile

hard labor and economy he got together $500

away; might be compelled to marry another,

HOW Rivers i'll India Change Their
Courses

HOW Rivers i'll India Change Their
Courses.
A remarkable instance Of the extent to which
Indian rivers are apt to change their courses ia
furnished by the history Of the Drahmaputra
during the last ninety years. In 1885 that river
flowed far to the east Of Dacca. receiving in its
course the rivera of Silhet, which Joined with it
to form the Meghna, at that time the direct out
let for all the drainage Of the Assnm aud Caehar
Valleys. Since then, however, the Brahmaputra
has shifted its main channel nearly 200 miles
westward, conslgning many al ancient city to
ruin and giving birth to new centres Of
trade and population. All this seems to have
happened in the space of twenty years. the pro-
cess having been pretty nearly completed IN
1880. Tie Jheels or swnmps Of Silhet, depriy ed
Of the vast supply OF salt which the Brahnapu-
ira used to wash down from the hills and higher
valleys lost their chance Of an carly transforma-
ton into cultivatable land. Tho influx Of the
tended to develop the process of land-making in
the Gangetic delta, by forcing the Gengetic
rivers to spread their salt over wider area than
before While Sonargaong, the old capital Of
Bengal, deserted by the river to which it owed
its prosperity, il now mean village surrounded
by heaps OF brick and jungle, the great trading
mart Of Serajganj, where so much jute was
damaged by the late cyclone, has sprung up like
a gcurd on the new channel OF the Brahmaputra.
The trade Of Dacca itself is even now threatened
by the same disturbing cause. Similar changes
appear to be going on in the Ganges, one Of
which We lately mentioned as tending to under
mine part Of the railway between Colgong and
Bhagalpur. It ls not unlikely, as the English
man suggests, that these changes may have
something to do with the prevalence OF epi-
demic diseases, like the Bardwan fever, in the
districts affected by them. The matter, at any
rate i8 one that calls for and would doubtless
repay careful inqliry.-Azlens Indian Mail
