ney for Indiana denying the rumored in

were flying about all day concerning the

THE RUINS OF JUGGERNAUT.

THE RAvAGRs OF SEVEN CENTURIES UPON
THE TIME-BLACKENED TEMPLE-rUMBLINa
TO PIECEs-BRoKEN IDOLS.
The India correspondent of the London
Times says: An event of some importance
recently occurred in connection with the
Temple of Juggernaut Throughout the
whole of the empire there is no shrine so
sacred as Pooree, and no spot where de-
vout Hindoo would rather die than beneath
this -grest fame. The temple, which cost
half million sterling OF the money OF our
times, is literally black with age. The
storms OF nearly seven centuries
which are often so violent in the
Bay of Bengal, have produced little
weeks ago it seemed as likely to remain as
many centuries more. Many of the large
temples in the province are now in ruins,
but they have not fallen through the wear
and tear of time. 4 silent but effectual
power has been the cause OF this destruc-
ton. The seeds of the peepul aud banysn
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 l0Osened and eventually brought
down, aud it seems probable that the tenn
pie of J JJggeTnaut will share the same fate.
At the late car festivals, as soon as the Idols
had been
TAKI.N FROM THEIR THRONES
or their annual excursion, several large
stones from the inner roof fell on the plat.
form. Had they fallen a few minutes earlier
the IDOLS would have been shattered tC
atoms, and in all probability there would
have been a great loss of life. The resident
magistrate applied to the governor for ar
engineer to inspect the damage. This was
found to be a very difficult task, as the tenn
pie is so dark. There are no apertures fol
the light; FIVE or six lights are kept burn
| ing in the daytime, and even with these
nothing is visible but the idols. 1t is but
very rarely that temples are repaired, 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 JuggerDaut than anything
that has occurred in the present generation.
There will be no lack of money for any esii-
mate as the priests are very wealthy, and
| the annual income of the temple is said to
amount to f68.000. The question which Is
sgitatiug all priests Is what Is TO be done
| with the idols while the repairs are being
made? The officers OF the temple are most
anxious to have the idols restored to their
thrones. They propose that an inner cell
| ing of wood shall be made to protect the
idols and the worshippers; but there would
be so much danger should there be another
| fall of ssones that the Raiah will not consent

There is this difference between those two
temporal blessings-health and money
money is most envied, but the least en-
ioyed; health is the most enjoyed, but the
least envied; and this superiority of the lat
ter is still more obvious when we reflect
that the poorest man would not part with
health for money, but that the richest
would gladly part with all their money for

CORRESPONDENTS CONCLUSIONS.

CORRESPONDENTS CONCLUSIONS.
WHY CERTAIN APPOINTMENTS WERE MADE
TO CERTAIN COMMITTEES OF CONGRESS.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Times of yesterday telegrsphs: At
IL o'clock to- might Mr.. Kerr had not ended
the perplexing business OF selecting commit
tees. Until the latest moment appointments
which had generally been understood ss
cisions which will be of most interest to the
country are these; VIM. r. Morrison, of
Illinois, instead of the military committee,
TO which he had been assigned as first
choice, will, to the astonishment of the
country, take the chsirmanship of ways
and means. Mr.. Morrison, it is un-
derssood, is forced upon the speaker
by the necessities of the case
presented in the relations existing be-
tween Fernando Wood aud Samuel 3. Cox.
These gentlemen were both aspirants for
the same committee. Both deluged the
| speaker with delegations setting forth their
pre- eminent claims upon and fitness for the
Craftsmanship. In view of the peculiar re-
lations heretofore sustained TO the country
by Mr.. Wood, and the bad odor in which he
| Is held in his own community as a public
man, and the general distrust of the country,
| the speaker felt constrsined to deny him
the head of the committee. He is placed
| second on it, with no intention
or desire to degrade him, but
for the purpose of solving Diff
Gully arising out of the situation which the
country will understand without any de-
tailed statement of It, TIE result was that
after he had received the complimentary
vote in 1873 it was
FOLLOWED BY A UNIVERSAL oUTCRY.
Even the democratic press and party of the
country condemned the act because of the
peculiar standing and political reputation Of
Mr.. Wood. Nearly every one had to apollo
gize for his vote sfterwsrd. 1t was in con-
sequence of that vote alone that Mr.. Blaine
felt constrained to put him on the committee
on ways and means. Mr.. Morrison, al
though not an accomplished economist or
great public speaker, is known to be a man
of extraordinary ability in the practical
management of affairs and in the con-
| troi of men. He is also known to
| be more squarely and uDquali6edly
sound In all his political views than
Mr.. Wood. He is a hard money democrat
| and revenue reformer fthe most advanced
type. Whilst he may not lead on the floor
of the House, he will lead In the committee
room, and direct the conduct OF the affairs
| of this committee in the House wisely as
any man that it would be possible for the
| speaker to select. Mr.. Cox sustained toward
the country, the House and the speaker an
entire different relation. He bad q good
| reputation in the country; he was one of the
competitors for the speskership; he had q
| following In the House These are facts
which the speaker could not overlook.
| Therefore, whilst denying to Mr.. Cox the
chairmsuship of the ways and means, Mr..
Kerr did not feel at liberty to deny him q
| prominent position. He will, therefore, be
and currency, and Mr.. Payne, OF Ohio, will
/ be second.

the appointment, Stone and HoDore left
Washington together and returned 70 Chi

prominent citizen of Chicago that he had

afterwsrd Mcmurdy reached Chicago, ans

Belford, and the appointment of one who
was friendly to his interest. After Stones

character OF the justice that is being admin

has been matter of great scandal In Chi
cago, New York and Colorado, and still the
administration retains him in cfice, not
withstanding charges are now on on file in

integrity and charging him with corruption
and venalty. If a senator and a near rela-
tive OF the presidential household can, by
removing one judge and securing the ap-
pointment of another, rob a single miner of
bis property, then whole districts may be-
come to them objects of legitimate prey.
