Temple of the Juggernaut,

India Correspondence of the London Timesl
An event of. some importance recently
occurred in connection with the Temple
of the Juggernaut. Throughout the whole
of the Empire there is no Shrine so sacred
as Pouree, and no spot where a devout
Hindoo would rather die than beneath its
grand fame. The Temple, which cost half
a million sterling of the money of our time,
is literally black with age. The storms of
nearly seventy centuries, which are often
so violent in the bay of Bengal, have pro-
duced little impression upon it, and until
few weeks ago, it seemed likely to remain
as many centuries more. Many of the
large temples in the province are in ruins,
but they have not fallen through the wear
| and tear of time. A silent, but effectual
power, has been the cause of their des-
tructiOn.
The seeds of the peepul and banyan trees
| have got into the foundations. These have
! taken root; the sapling has forced its way
/ through the assures of the stones, and in
process of years the whole fabric has been
| lOOsened and eventually brought down,
and it seems probable that the Temple of
Juggernaut will share the same fate. At
the late car festivals, as soon as the idols
| had been taken from their thrones for their
annual excursions, several large stones
from the inner roof fell on the platform.
| Had they fallen few minutes earlier, the
idols would have been shattered to atoms,
and in all probability there would have
been great loss of life. The resident
magistrate applied to the Governor for an
engineer to inspect the damage. This was
found to be a very difficult task, as the
Temple is so dark. There are no aper-
lures for the light; five or six lights are
kept burning in the daytime, and even
with these nothing is visible but the idols.
1t is but very rarely that temples are re-
paired, and the sound of the chisel and the
hammer on the top of this great temple
will do more to weaken the faith of the
HindoO in Juggernaut than anything that
has occurred in the last generation.
There will be no lack of money for any
estimate, as the priests are very wealthy,
and the annual income of the temple is
said to amount to 96S, 900. The question
which is agitating all priests is, what is
to be done with the idols while the repairs
are being made? The officers of the tenn
| pie are most anxious to have the idols re-
stored to their thrones. They propose
that an inner ceiling of wood shall be made
to protect the idols and the wOrshipers
but there would be so much danger should
there be another fall of stones, that the
| Raiah will not consent.

BaShful.

A Summit street drug clerk called on a
young lady the other evening. He is ma
turally very bashful, and his bashfulness
had been thoroughly cultivated during the
years past, and the situation on this even
ing was something new to him. As he
seated himself in the northwest corner OF
the parlor, he felt that something must be
said to stir up the current of conversation,
and, without a second thought, he broke
out:
Have you ever studied the chemical pe-
culiarities of mOnonitrobenzonapth
ide?'
"Oh, certainly, yes indeed; that is-ah,
hardly understand you"
81 speak of the properties of mononitro-
benzonapathylamide and dinitrobenzon-
aythylamide.'
''Sir ?" and she looked frightened.

Here the young lady looked frightened
enough to faint, and threatened to call her
pa, but was detained by the young man,
who, seeing that he wasn't making as
much of an impression as he expected to,
took up his hat and backed over a rocking
chair, then picked himself up and stam-
mered himself out. What a pity it is our
girls can't be taught the commonest
branches of education instead of wasting
their time away on piano stool or some
thing else equally useless.-TOledo Demo-

Taking Toll,

A gentleman of an autobiographic turn
OF mind relates how he was Instructed in
the custom of taking toll, by sprightly
widow, during a moonlight sleigh-ride
with merry party. He says:
Ihe lively widow L. sat in the same
sleigh, under the same buffalo robe with
me.
ooh! oh! don't! don'tl" she exclaim-
ed, as we came to the first bridge, at the
same time catching me by the arm and
turning her yelled face toward me. while
her eyes twinkled through the moonlight.
don It what?'' l asked. ''I am not do
ing anything"
We'll, but thought you were going to
take toll, - replied the widow,
"TOLL!'' l replied. s'What's that?''
''Well, l declare - cried the widow, her
clear laugh ringing out above the music of
the bells. You pretend you don't know
what toll is 20
''Indeed don't, then, y 1 said, laughing
''explain, if you please"
You never heard, then,'' said the wild
ow, most prOvOkingly-EEyou never heard
that when we are on a sleigh-ride the gen
tlemen always-that is, sometimes-When
they cross bridge claim kiss, and call
1t toll. But never pay it.''
said that [ had never heard of it be-
fore; but when we came to the next bridge
claimed the toll, and the widows strug-
gles to hold the veil over her face were
not enough to tear it.
At last the veil was removed, her round,
rosy face was turned directly toward mine
and in the clear light of frosty moon the
toll was taken for the first time in nv ex-
perience.
Soon we came to long bridge, with
several arches; the widow said it was nc
use to resist a man who would have his
own way, and paid the toll without mur-
muir.
''But you won't take toll for every arch.
will you?" she said, so arch1y that could
not fail to exact all my dues; and that was
the beginning of my courtship. -Ltteratart

&6.OOO.OOO in Eggs.

Three freight cars containing S., ,O0O, 900
worth of silE-worm eggs, arrived, at st.
Johns Park depot, on Tuesday. They had
come from Hong Kong to San Francisco
in twenty-three days, and thence to New
York in less than seven days, the speed
being faster than the mails are carried by
the same route. This uncommon cargo is
going to Italy and the south of France,
and could have reached its destination
quicker and at less cost by the way of the
Suez Canal, but it has been found useless
to ship them that way because the South
ern climate matches the eggs.
The silk worms are put upon long. sheets
of cardboard in China, and are left until
each board is covered with eggs, which
are about the size of mustard seed. The
eggs stick to the cards, which, interlaid
with sheets of paper, are packed in wood
en- boxes, tightly closed, and wrapped in
canvass and mating. In this shipment
there were 647 cases, containing over 160,
600 cards. The cases were transferred,
yesterday, to the Hamburg steamer Frisia,
which will sale for Europe to-day. When
the eggs reach their destination, they will
be stored in vaults, secure against warmth,
until the mulberry trees on which they
feed have grown their foliage-Neao York

The Cincinnati Gazette says that Pre-
mler Steinberger, who carried stable gov
ernment and constitution in carpet bag
to the SamOans, now wants to complete
their virtue and happiness by importing
an American editor to set up the great
moral engine-a newspaper. He has in
troduced into their Eden of blissful igno-
rance the incessant strife of elections. He
has imposed on their confiding natures a
written constitution-that invention for
transforming settled principles into a jun
gle of words. He has brought in the de-
grading principle of rotation of office (of
all but the life Premier). He has pro-
claimed that all must work, although boun-
teous nature supplies their wants without
toll. A simple pull-back around the loins
was sufficient for their kindly climate and
native modesty, but he has declared the
curse of clothes, with all their attendent
evil train of fashion, vanity and physical
and moral degeneracy. And not content
with opening among them this Pandoras
box, he now wants to complete his Satanic
work by setting up a newspaper.

and the large number of testimonials which are
constantly being received from persons who
have been cured by its use, are conclusive proof
or its great value. 1t is recommended by physi-

apparently, the whole body was mass of cor

not conclusive proof, il you sufferer, You
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing &
such great cures? 1t works in the blOOd-in the
circulating fluid. 1t can be truly called the
Great Blood Purifier. The great source of dis
ease originates in the blood; and medicine
that does not act directly upon it, to purify and
renoVate, has any just claim upon the public at
tentiOn. When the blood becomes lilelesS and
suagnant, either from change of weather or eli
mate want of exercise, irregular diet, or from
blood, carry OF the putrId humOrs, cleanse the
stOmac h, regulate the bowels and impaTt q tone
of yigor to the whole body. The conviction is
in the public mind as well as in the medical pro-
fessiOn-that the remedies supplied by the Veg
etable Kingdom are more safe, more successful
in the cure of disease than the mineral medi-
cines. Vegetine is composed of roots, barkS and
herbs. It is pleasant to take and is perfectly
safe to give an infant. DO you need itF Don't hes
