AN INDIAN FLOOD.
Party OF Pilgrims Overwhelmed by "A
Mountain Torrent-Over Two Hundred


A Party OF Pilgrims Overwhelmed by "A
Mountain Torrent-Over Two Hundred
of them Drowned.
A letter from Madura, India, says:
Intelligence has been received at this
station of frightful catastrophe which
befell party of pilgrims to the Maha-
lingam shrine, on the Hnnevelly from
tier, on the evening of Sunday last. If
we are To believe the reports of returned
pilgrims, more than 300 persons were
drowned under circumstances of the
most heartrending character. Thirty
three of the Madura pilgrims have been
either carried away by the mountain tor
rents or are missing; and it is frightful
10 think how many more, from Time
velly or other parts, may have shared the
same fate. The shrine in question stands
on the summit of one of the Sadursgiri
hills Literally four hills) which form u
portion of the Saptoor estate, though in
cluded in the Tinnevelly district. The
direction from Madura is south-south-
west, and the distance nearly 80 miles.
What particular manifestation of silva
this shrine was built to commemorate i
cannot at present tell, nor is it known
where the first devotee from whom the
present one traces an unbroken success
sion established himself; but, however
that might have been, thousands of poo-
pie from all parts of the country flock
thither in this part OF the year TO get
cured of fancied or real evils, and, if
possible, 10 lay by store of blessings
for themselves and their children. From
the base of the hill n long circuitous
path leads up to the shrine, for dis
lance of ten miles or so, along fearful
shasms, and deep, meandering mountain
torrents, and through meshes of cane
brake or other underwood. The pill
grims arrived at the shrine used TO pass
night or so in the jungle without any
thing like roof over their heads. The
dry bed of the mountain torrent that
skirts the shrine used to be their quar-
ters and there they cooked and ate their
meals, sung and danced, and otherwise
made themselves comfortable. On the
evening of Sunday last there was the
same spectacle as used to be III former
years-thousands of men, women and
children were talking, or eating, or
dancing in the sandy bed hundreds of
sheep and fowls, brought up TO be sacri-
feed, stood in n.ournful groups, each
waiting its turn some pilgrims, more
religious than the rest, were rolling in
front of the shrine or performing other
equally curious evolutions-in fact,
everything went on without hitch. At
D p. IN. there was q tremendous shower
of rain then minutes later, the hitherto
dry bed was full, and the water rushed
down headlong, carrying those who could
not force their way through the crowd,
and the general confusion was rendered
still more dreadful by the darkness.
Many dead bodies, intercepted by roots
and bushes, were picked up in the bed;
a good many We're seen floating on to-
ward the Waptrap tank some were
found iammed between stones, aud only
a very few of the ill-starred lot saved
themselves by catching hold of some
friendly bOupb

A Violent Mans Violent Death.

Ned O'Baldwin died yesterday at II
Il. m. He suffered intensely on the pre-
vious night, complaining particularly of
the lower wound in his abdomen. At
times he was delirious, tossing on his
bed and crying, ooh, my God my
God when will this end :" His friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Cassidy, were with him
constantly, endeavoriDg to comfort him.
He asked repeatedly for ice water and
beef tea. He vomited every few min
utes, grooming. He asked Mrs. Cassidy
"for Gods sake, send for the doctor, !"
to give him some morphine and let him
die in peace. He said he was tired OF
his life :" that he had been ga poor,
unfortunate man, and desired Mrs. Cas-
sidy to pray for him for the sake of his
father and mother. 81 have no friends"
said he, "to care for me. Ny life has
not been right, but hope God will for
give me and heaven be my resting
place" He inquired whether Finnell
had been arrested, and upon being told
that he had not, he exclaimed, "Oh, the
ID scoundrel ] never did him any
harm, and Immediately afterward cried,
ooh, God, forgive me for cursing him. !"
At another time he wished 10 know why
he was not allowed to take revenge on
Finnell, meaning the taking OF the pis-
toll from him after he had taken il from
Finnell. His hand was cut between the
thumb and forefnger in the struggle TO
get the pistol from him. After the two
shots he took the pistol from Finnell,
and would have shot him if the crowd
had not interfered. He realized that he
was dying, and said that those at his bed
side knew it too, but were trying to
keep it from him. O'Baldwin lost three
quarts of blood in the night. He spoke
feelingly of his erring life and want of
preparation for death. In mis- agony he
tried to pull the straps from his wounds,
and once endeavored to get up, but was
held in bed by his attendants O'Bald-
win was conscious to the last. He re-
peated his request to be buried in Bos-
ton beside his brother Mrs. Cassidy got
a blessed candle to put in his hand when
he was dying to light his soul into
heaven, but in the excitement she forgot
to light it. He expired at exactly five
minutes before III O'Clock. Michael
Duffy, an undertaken, took charge of the
body and packed it in ice. He measured
O'Baldwin's body, and found It feet q
inches long, and his arm was . feet 4
inches long. -Ncsc York Tribune.

what effect the wire that he had run into
his head had upon the brain. To his
surprise he found two pieces OF wire en-

been there at least six months. One
piece was about two inches long, while
the other lacked but little 6 the same

in the skull, and had been there so long

How Sargent =. Prentiss Got Drunk.

Once, when in joint discussion Gov.
McNutt deplored his habits, which were
rendering his learning and eloquence
useless, he retorted on the Governor
with RANT effect. He first described in
classic style the utilities and inspirations
of wine and whisky. Before making the
al hominem upon the Governor, he pic
tured the glug-glug-glug of the jug, as
the politician tits 1t and pours from its
reluctant mouth the corn juice so loved
of his soul. There il no music dearer to
his ear, unless it be the same glug-glug
glug as it disappears down his capacious
throat. Then turning to his opponent,
his face all shining with fun, he said :
I" Now, fellow citizens, during this ardent
campaign, which has been so fatiguing,
! have only been drunk once. Over in
Simpson county 1 was compelled to sleep
in the same bed with this distinguished
nominee, this delight of his party, this
wonderful exponent of the principles
practices of the unwashed Democracy,
and in the morning found myself drunk
on corn whisky. L had laid too close to
this soaked mass of Democracy, and /

President Grants stock sale.

The blooded stock of President Grant
was recently disposed OF Mt auction. on
his farm, ten miles from St. Louis. The
stock went at exceedingly low prices.
Young Hambleton, seven years old, a
stallion, was knocked down for $500. A
fine double team sold for S6S0-said to
have been bid in for the President. The
trotting mare Bessie Knox, for which
the President paid 81 900, brought 500:
another trotting mare, the Belle of st.

work horses, quantity of harness, crops,
agricultural implements, in fact, all the
working machinery of the farm, which
will be rented hereafter, were sold. Gen.
Grant has decided TO make such DISPOSE
ton of the property rather than run it
on his own account. The aggregate
proceeds of the sale ire very small, con

Rismarck,s Cane.

Col. NJ. Richards Muckle, business
manager of the Philadelphia Public
LedgCr, sent to Prince Bismarck a few
months ago handsomely mounted cane,
made from the original timbers taken
from Independence Hall during the re-
cent necessary repairs to that time-hon-
ored structure. The cane bore a simple
plate telling it's little story. The gift
was sent to Berlin through the German
Consul at this port, whence tt was taken
by the German Ambassador to the United
States, Baron Won Schloezer, to Prince
Bismarck ut Varzin. The German Chan
cellor has written, with his own hand, a
letter to Col. Muckle, dated, most APP
propriately, on the Fourth of July. The
letter is written in tone that one would
scarcely expect TO see in the stern Ger
man Prince. 1t is as follows, literally
translated
vARzIN July 4, 1875.
Col. NJ. Richards Muclle, Philadelphia:
DEAR SIR: You have had the kindness to
send ne IA support in my olden days cane
cut from the timber Of the belfry from the
heights OF which ninety-nine years ago to-day
the old bell first rang in honor of the grand
commonwealth whose ship bells to-day give
full and welcome sound III all the waters of the
globe.
beg you will accept my heartfelt thanks for
this historical reminscence, which l shall
honor and carefully preserve and hand down
to my children with other relics Of remarkable
years. This day is one which never fails to
recall to my mind the happy hours which /
spent on many Fourth of July with American
friends-frst, with John Lothrop Motley in
Goettingen, in 1882; again, with Mitchell G..
King and Amory Coffin.
Would that you, my dear Colonel and /
might always be AZ healthy and contented ~
