The Silent Fakir of Steetapore.

In Steetapore there dwells an old Hindoo
Fakir, who, in hope of overcoming himself
and gaining the favor of the gods, nineteen
years ago vowed never to speak again, and,
so far as is known the vow has been strictly
kept. (What a pity some people In this
country whose tongues do so much mischief
do not adopt similar custom y He sits, and
also sleeps, year after year, on bed Of
broken limestone. I have frequently talked
to him, but could never elicit a reply. In
the hottest days of the dreadful summer of
India, tina old man leaves his stony seat and
walks ont few rods to a pond, in which,
with shavsn and uncovered head, he stands
up to his neck in water for hours at time.
Yet venture the assertion that the highest
English official in the city has, when COM
paired with this old Fakir, very limited in.
iuence over the Hindoos of that community.
He would be a brave Hindoo who would ven-
ture to pass that old beggar without folding
his hands and invoking his blessing. Though
SO much absorbed in devotion and the prac-
tice of austerities, the old man, with the as
sistance of some friends, entered into law
suit recently obout some land; but when the
case cane up, our Fakir was called upon by
the English magistrate to appear in court as
a witness. This, of course, he refused to do,
and preserved bis reputation for sanctity by
giving up his claim to the property in ques-
ton.

Great Railroad Enterprise.

A late English paper gives some particu'
lars of an enterprise of worldwide interest,
which is now engrossing the attention of rail-
road capitalists in Europe. This enterprise
is the construction of railroad in the valley
of the Euphrates, to connect Antioch on the
Mediterranean with Bassora on the Persian
gulf, and thus saving five days time and l.
900 miles of distance in the circumference
Gus steam navigation of the globe. The trip
through the Red sea is one of the most ex-
pensive and most unpleasant parts of the
trip between Hindoostan and England. The
completion of the road from Antioch to Bias
sora would soon be followed by ext ensions to
Constantinople on one side and Bombay on
the other, and thus ten days time for passen.
gers and fast freight would be saved between
Europe and China. A committee of ondon
capitalists lately studied the Euphrates rail
way project, and reported that no railroad
company could afford to undertake the worl
without government assistance, and they will
appeal to England and Turkey. The short
est line will be about 1000 miles-a moder
ate distance to save 1900 miles of perilou
and difficult navigation.

From VassalbOrO'.

E. F. Pillsbury, Esq, in his speech in
North Vassalboro' few weeks ago, frequent
ly used this language:
"For Gods sake, what more do the repub-
licans want?"
One thing more we do want, and that is a
larger cannon; we are not particular about
having one of the latest improved, but we
want one that will "speak" loud enough to
awake the democrats and "liberal republic
cans" who went to sleep on Monday night
last and still remain insensible. The wives
of some of these men are feeling very anx-
ious to have them awake and tell them how
they feel. 1t is very remarkable that out OF
about ''forty liberals in this town, only thir-
teen were reported in town on Monday, the
9th inst. These thirteen seem more restless
in their sleep than the democrats. Their
physician says they seem to manifest nor
ror of being sick away from home.
p. S. Out of respect for the thirteen above
referred to, whom we learn are respectfully
connected, it is thought best not to have the
gun, for their disease seems to be all in the
head, and if they are kept very still and quiet
their physician is confident they will come
out all right by the first of November next.
