A Buddhist Disaster

A terrible disaster lately attended a
Buddhist ceremonial at Black Town,
India. Religious professions had been
frequent in connection with the Vicunta
Dacathasi festival, and on this occasion
one of them had halted opposite the
principal temple. Attached to this tenn
pie was a richly adorned pandal, and
underneath this the idols were carried,
surrounded by torch-bearers and proceed
ed by dancing girls. A crowd of peopl5
had assembled, some to worship and
others merely from motives of curiosity,
when the throng became so great that
one of the tOrch-bearers, a little boy,
was pushed aside, and his fambeau
catching the fringe, a general blaze
ensued. Some persons rushed toward
the gateway of the temple, but others
who were near the pagoda thought the
safest place for them was inside of it.
In about half an hour the fire was ex-
tinguished, but the entire pandal was
destroyed, with the idols which had been
carried there and the ornaments with
which they were decorated. Twenty
six persons took refuge in the pagods,
which was only eight feet by 10, and held
a large idol in its center; but the smoke
entered through small holes in the door,
and only five persons were found alive
when the fire was put ont. The way to
the pagoda was covered with pieces of
broken globes and shades from the
pandal, which seriously interfered with
the attempts of the native police to
rescue those who were inside. OF those
who lost their lives four were women,
one a child of two years of age, one a
girl of 10 years old, one boy, and IA
were men.

Small Fruits for the Family.

/ wish / could impress upon every
farmer the value of good fruit for family
purposes. What a real luxury it is to
have every kind of ripe fruit in It's sea-
son! What an ornament it is to the
table! How much health it gives to
children What cheap and excellent
diet it Is How much more precious it
makes home How it endears the home
stead to the entire family
As this is the season for planting
small fruits, every one should prepare
for it. A portion of the garden should
be devoted to them. Get the ground
nicely plowed and narrowed, and plant
out few hundred plants of Wilson's
Albany strawberries. They bear well.
When fully and blackly ripe, they are
sweet and delicious. Set out in rows
two or three feet apart, and eighteen
inches apart in the row.
Who does not like raspberries? One
of the very best red is the Philadelphia.
1t bears immensely, is hardy, and every
fruit garden ought to contain it. 1t is
not of better quality than the Clark, but
does not grow up so many suckers. In
black varieties, there is the old stand
by, the Miami or Mammoth Cluster. 1t
is very productive and hardy. Earlier
varieties are the Doolittle and David
sons Thornless, both good and early,
and ought to be in every garden. Plant
in rows four feet in part and a couple
of feet apart in the row.
The Kittatinny is an excellent black
berry. What large, lustrous berries
they produce! How long they are in
season, beginning early and running on
and ripening for six weeks They are
so healthful, so good for summer COM
plants, and such real luxury that no
farmer ought to be without them.
Then, who can do without currants
and gooseberries2 What nice pies and
tarts they make! And how nice they
are to eat ripe! How healthful is the
acid they supply, separating the bile
from the blood, and warding of bilious
diseases
Many think it so important to furnish
the house inside, but forget all about
the outside; forget all about the fruits
of the garden, the evergreens and shade
trees on the lawn, the beds of roses and
other flowers. All these speak of re-
finement and elegance, of cultivated
minds and hearts. All these endear the
children to the dear old homestead and
make home so loved and attractive.
Plant out these things now, this spring,
and they will reward you In many ways.

Abuse of the Horse

I sometimes think that 1t was q mis-
fortune for the world that the horse was
ever subiugated. The horse is the an
imal that has been the worst treated by
man; and his subjugation has not been
altogether gain to mankind. The OPP
pressions which he has aided IN were,
from the earliest ages, excessive. He
it is to whom we owe much OF the
rapine of those ages called "the dark
ages" And 1 have a great notion that
he has been the main instrument of the
bloodiest warfare. wish men had to
drag their own cannon up hill; l doubt
whether they would not rebel at that.
To what height of material civiliza-
ton a nation might arrive without the
horse, was to be seen in Mexico and
Peru, when the Spaniards first entered
and devastated those regions, where
they found thousands of houses well
built, and with gardens attached to
them. I doubt whether there was q
single Mexican so ill-lodged as millions
of our poor countrymen are. So you
see, when almost regret the subjuga-
ton of the horse, assume that ciyili-
cation would not thereby have certainly
been retarded. Considering how the
horse is wronged, he is the most quiet
and accomplishing creature In the
world. Observe the cab-horse quietly
lifting up one of his forefeet, Just
showing to the observant by-stander
how full it is of pain (you see / do OBJ
serve animals sometimes); and then
think what a row any other animal
would make in a similar condition, and
how noisily he would demonstrate
against the needless brutality of his
driver. His conduct and its results
form a notable instance of the folly of
being silent about our grievances. The
busy world pays attention only to those
who loudly complain, and accords that
attention in exact proportion to the
loudness and persistency of the COM
plant. If there had been Roche
foucault, or an Ellesmere, among the
horses Qcr, doubtless, like all other
animals, they have a way of communi-
eating with one another what judicious
maxims he might have instilled into
them There have been a few wise
horses in the world. knew one my
self of a sorrel color. He did not kick
or rear, or pursue any of those fantas-
tic devices for getting rid of his rider
but when he objected to him, he always
rubbed him off against wall or cart
wheel. No human being, who made
himself Objectionable to this horse, was
ever known to "remain." You do not
understand the allusion. A French
man, who had taken to riding In Eng
land, was asked how he succeeded in
this mode of locomotion, SO novel to
him. He replied: "When he go easy
1 am G'y suis;) but when he iomp
hard, do not remain" Now, nobody
could "remain" upon the horse have
been telling you about. But, alas
wise horse, like a wise man, often
keeps all his wisdom to himself and
this wise sorrel twas not the wisest
horse that CULVER met with in his
soiourn with the Houyhnhnms a sorrel
nag p did not impart his secret to his
brother bays or grays.-Frie1ads in

Selling the Charge of Souls.

The rectory of Falmouth, a town in
Cornwall, England, about IA miles from
Lizard Point, was recently put up for
sale. Many of the hvings of the church
of England, as by law established, are
IN the gift of the landed proprietors,
and they have the right to appoint any
ministers of that church whom they
choose to become pastors of the Chris
tan flock. When a pastor becomes
stricken in years, and the owner of a
living wants to raise money, he can sell
to the highest bidder the right to APP
point a successor. The living-that is,
the spiritual charge of the people in the
parlsh-is put up at auction Just like a
horse or an easy-chair. The rectory of
Falmouth is worth about G17OO or near
" $4,000 year. The incumbent is in
his nth year, and the income of the
church property is constantly increas-
ing. Charles III. gave "the parson of
the parish and his successor forever F"
the right to a portion of the
earnings of the inhabitants of the
town, IN the shape of a tax about 80
cents year on all houses, shops, ware
houses, cellars and out-houses, then in
existence or thereafter to be built Be-
sides tins, there are tithes and surplice
fees, and what is known as the Black
Rock Beacon dues, consisting of so
cents on every cOasting vessel, and over
60 cents on every coasting vessel which
shall pass the beacon. The town
thought of trying to buy the rectory,
and thus free itself in part from these
impOsts; but high legal authorities
have decideded that they can never be
got rid of. At the recent auction the
sale was started at about $40, 900, and
rose by slow bids to $40, 900. The auc-
tiOneer urged the value of the income
and the extreme age of the incumbent,
dwelling on the probability of his soon
dying, but all in vain. Every well,
then" said the auctioReer, "my clients
reserve the right of making the bidding
1000" So the right to appoint
man to save the souls of the people of
Falmouth was bought in, and likewise
the right to levy rates on an angry pop
Mace aud cursing ship-masters In the
name of the church.

A NEW DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE

A NEW DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE
There are t'new departures " in medi-
cine, as well as in politics. The latest
and most successful of these is the bold
movement of Dr. Joseph Walker of Cal
ifornia, who has actually had the effron-
terry to produce vegetable tonic and
restorative, without any alcoholic basis,
which is curing disorders of the stom-
ach, liver, bowels, nerves and pulmona-
ry organs, with rapidity that fairly
entities him to the anathamas of the old
school of physicians, and the praise
and confidence of the new. His Cali
fornia Vinegar Bitters may be safely
pronounced the popular remedy of the
age. When it is considered that this
new famous specific was introduced some
two years ago, its present sale, which is
at the rate of 100000 bottles per an
mum, can only be ascribed to it's intrin-
sic merits. It is believed that the histo-
ry of "patent medicines affords no ex-
ample of a success so rapid and COM
plete. The community insists that this
success is thoroughly deserved, and we
have no inclination to dispute its die
tum. The voice of the people, if not
that of Omnipotence, is generally the
voice of common sense, and as they have
had ample time to take sober second
thought on the subjec., it may be as
sumed that, in this instance, their opin-
ion is creditable to their sagacity.

Some Varieties of Eyes.

Birds OF lofty flight, as the condor,
eagles. vultures and carriOn-seeking
providers of the feathered race, have
telescope vision, and thus they are
enabled to look down and discover their
uususpecting victims. As they approach
noiselessIv from above, the axis of vision
changes so that they see
inst as distinctly within one foot of the
ground as when at an elevation of one
mile in the air. This fact explains the
balancing of a fish-hawk on it's piniOns
half a mile above still pond, watching
for fish. When one is selected, down
the savage hunter plungs, the focal axis,
varying as the square of the distance,
giving the hawk a distinct view of Its in
tended prey always. As they ascend,
then the axis is elongated by a curious
muscular arrangement so as to see Pfar
again. Snails have their keen eyes at
the extremity of flexible horns, which
they can protrude or drawn in at pleas
ure. By winding the instrument round
the edge of a leaf or a small stalk, they
can see how matters stand on the OPP
posite side. The hammer-headed shark
has it wicked looking eyes nearly two
feet apart. 1t can bend the thin edgings
OF the head on which the organs are
located so as to examine the two sides of
an object the size of a fully grown cod
fish. Flies have immovable eyes. They
stand out from the head like half an ap-
pie, exceedingly prominent. Instead of
being smooth hemspheres, they have an
immense number of facets, resembling
oId-FaShioned glass watch seals, each
one directing the light directly to the
optic r-tina. That explains why they
cannot be approached in any direction
without seeing what is coming.
