A Horrible EFaEeIard.

A correspondent writing from Bonn
bay says: "YOu have all heard of
the Parsees. They are the Jews of
Bombay. They are race that was
excluded from Persia as the Jews
have been from many countries.
They have very peculiar notions of
life, but their cemetery is more
peculiar still. 1t is different from all
others. We made visit to the GEM
etery, not knowing at the time that
no one was admitted. II is large
tract on the best part of MalOber Hill.
II is very valuable now, but it was
purchased long ago. We made appli-
cation at the gate for admission and
were refused. We appealed to q
young Parsee who happened to be
passing. He was dressed in silk and
very gentlemanly in appearance. He
said that no Europeans were admit
ted. We told him that we were not
Europeans, but Americans. He said
he would be very happy to Oblige
Americans, but could not, but did
consent that We should go up the road
outside the inner wall, and have q
view of the city and bay. The senti-
mel took US along the winding road,
and rupee given to him acted like
charm. 1t opened all the gates and
passed the police. There were no
Parsees in sight to stand in our way,
and We entered the prohibited inclO-
sure. The grounds are surrounded
by wall twenty feet high, and have
been used for great number of years
by this strange people. There are no
monuments in the cemetery. There
are three round towers about fifty
feet in diameter, and fifty to sixty
feet high. On the top of these tow
ers is an iron CRATE. The dead are
brought to the gate and delivered to
the priests, and the friends depart.
The priests prepare the corpse and
lay it on the CRATE, and it is devoured
by the vultHres, and the bones drop
through the CRATE into the charnel
house below. These towers or vaults
are called "Towers of Silence" We
saw hundreds of vultures sitting on
these towers, and the sentinel told US
that they would take all the flesh
from a corpse in an hour. We asked
why these towers? The sentinel,
pointing to one, said: 'PaTsee with
plenty of money put there;' to an
other: 'PGrsee with but little money
put there The sentinel said when a
corpse is placed on the CRATE the strife
and noise of the vultures is frightful,
and could be heard for a long dis
tance. We saw those Towers of ST.
lence,' and do not care to be any near
er."

SOU.

1t is interesting, In view OF the late
Developments in the life Of Boss
I Tweed, the champion thief, t. recall
a little social event which occurred
/ in his family two years agO-the mar
riage OF bis daughter. The ceremony
took place in Trinity Chapel, and
crogds assembled to gaze upon the
magnIficence Of the affair. At
Tgeed's residence the halls, stair
ways, parlOrs and chambers were
crowded with most ingenious arrange
ments OF the most expensive exOtics.
Among the guests were Commission
er Henry Smith, Sheriff Brennan,
Comptroller Connolly, Superinten-
I dent helso, Commissioner John T..
! Agnew, Congressman s. s. Cox, City
Cham oerlain Peter l. SWeeny, Com
missioner B. F. Manierre, Judges Da-
/ Iy, BOsworth, Barnard, Hogan, Sena-
tor Michael Norton, Coroner Schir-
meri Colonel Roberts, DR.. Carnochau,
Thomas ]. Creamer, James II. Tnger-
soil, Chauncey Depew, Andrew J.
Garyey, Charles Hail, Secretary of
the Americus Club, and many Others,
few of whom it will be noticed are
neither in exile nor State Prison to-
day. The presents filled an entire
room, and were described as follows:
"rhefe were forty silver sets, any
one OF which would have attracted
crowd placed in a jewelers. win
daw, I'D one single one contained
two hundred Z sezty tysePaFasep pieces.
James Fisk, Jr., sent frosted silver
contrivance representing an iceberg,
evidently intended to hold the ice
cream or some equally frigid sub
stance. The association was beauti-
fully sustained by the presence of Arc
tic bears reposing on the ieiele han
dies of the bowl, and climbing up the
spoons. Singularly enough, Mr.. Fisk
displayed the same taste as Superin-
tendent Kelso, and their offerings
names on the silver were ShanCley,
NoStOD, Witthaus, Carnochan, Mag
inns, and many others. There were
forty pieces of jewelry, of which f.
teen were diamond sets. A single one
of the latter is known to have cost
S45, 900. 1t contained diamonds as
big as filberts. A cross of eleven dia-
monds, pea size, bore the names of
Mr.. and Mrs. Genet as donors. A pin
Of sixty diamonds, representing a
sickle and sheaves of wheat, was the
gift of j. II. Ingersoll. Peter 3.
Sweeny's card appeared on diamond
bracelets of fabulous magnificence.
Cornelius Corson gave ring with a
tiny watch as the seal. BroDZes,
thread lace, cashmere shawls, rare
pictures, every thing that could be
conceived of which is rich and costly,
filed the room with splendOr." The
trousseau of the bride included four
teen dresses varying in price from
$500 to So, 200 each, though her we'd
ding dress cost 81 900, to which $1,000
worth of point lace was added. A
black silk walking suit was decorated
with $50 bows, and Others were elabo-
rated corTespOndingly. 1t was a
grand wedding even among the grand
weddings of the great city; but now
this Tweed is jailed, and there are
none so poor as to do him reverence.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKEr.


How dear to my heart are the scenes Of my
childhood,
When fond reeolIections present them tc
view!
The orchard. the meadow, the deep-tangled
wildwood,
And every loved sp5t which my infancy
knewi
The wide-spreading pond, and the mill that
stood by 1t,
The bridge, and the rock where the cata-
ract fell,
The cot of my father, the dairy house nigh
IL,
And cen the rude bucket that hung in
the we'll
The old oaken bucket. the iron-bound
bucket,
The moss-coyered bucket which hung in
the well.
That moss-covered vessel, Ihaiied as trea-
ure,
For often at noon. when returned from
the field,
found it the source of an exquisite plea
The pzrest and sweetest that nature can
yield.
How ardent seized 1T, with hands that
were glowing,
AS quick to the white-pebbled bottom it
fell;
Then soon, with the emblem OF truth over
flowing,
And dripping with cOolness. IL rose from
the we'll
The old oaken bucket, tbs iron-bound
bucket,
The moss-eovered bucket which arose
from the well.
How sweet, from the green moSsy brim to
receive 1t,
As poised on the curb IL Inclined to my
lips!
Not a fun blushing goblet could tempt me
TO leave it,
The brightest that beauty or revelry sips.
And now, far removed from the loved habi-
tation,
The tear ofregret will intrEsively swell,
As fancy reverts to my fathers plantation,
And sighs for the bucket that hangs in the

The old oeken bucket, the iron-bound

The moss-covered bucket that hangs in

VISITORS.

The accomplished Mrs. Dickens and
three daughters have been visiting
here for several weeks enjoying the
surf-baths and ses-b. eCZes. Miss Hat
tie, the well known botanist, secured
many specimens OF the laurel; also a
very rare specimen of the lily family
which she presented to her friend DR..
Kirkland. Of Cleveland, Ohio. Their
estate at Enterprise is known as
magnolia Glen," and is an object OF
curiosity and attraction for tourists
on account of the variety of
flowers and the taste disI lsyed in ar
ranging them. We have an opinion
that we dare not express a whisper
that the fair Hattie is the great at
tractive flower at the Glen. Her two
sisters, Misses Birdie and Henrietta,
fashion from natures great models
beautiful wreaths Of flowers from the
various plumaged birds that abound
in this sunny cline; hence, many a
bride is decked with an orange wreath
made with the snowy white eurlew
feathers that are imperishable and
can be handed down as an heirloom
in the family. ONCE A MONTH.
