What is this christian religion? What
is 1t TO become christian? / take it to
be becoming a christman. Well, Buddha
taught how to become one"
The lecturer then quoted at consider
able length from the doctrines of Buddha,
which are taught in different Ian
guages, he said, in the new Testament,
and continued: Christians say that
Buddha did not teach the mortality Of
the soul; that the nearest he ever came
to 1t was in teaching the trar SIN graft,
OF souls. Well, the Buddhists don't IN;
derstand it so. We think he taught the
immortality of the soul as clearly as pos
slble. And if we did not believe it, why
should our religionists practice their ter
rlble austerities, and torture themselves,
and travel thousands of miles to learn
more of religion, as they do ?"
COntucius, he explained, was not a
religious but mortal teacher, and had
given China all her education. He said
that there had never been any persecu-
ton under the teachings of COnfucius,
and that Buddha explicitly taught tolera-
ton for the religion of others. Under
Christianity thousand of men, women
and children had been slain for their
religious belief "All this is kept up
now. Even am prosecuted.
They have followed me with
all sorts of slanders and bloody-shirt
business wherever | have lectured, and
the papers have been full of stories about
my beating hotels and getting into all
manner of disreputable sCrapes. But,
he continued eXcitedly, "why don't they
prosecute me legally, if it is all true.
defy all of the malicious christians and
editors who have circulated these stories
to prove them. But, pray pardon me-
for talking about myself. This persecu'
tion always excites me-"
With a few graceful words of compli
ment to his audience, which he said wa
the greatest in criticism, and the small
est in numbers, that he had ever ad
dressed, the gentleman, the little end o
whose name is Wong Chin Foo, CLOSED
his lecture, and was warmly applauded.-

CUSTER IND ms nR4rE COMRADES.

Lieut.. Gen Sheridan proposes to send
an expedition TO the scene Of General
Clusters fight with Sitting Bull, for the
purpose of removing the remains OF the
gallant band who were massacred upon
that occasion, and giving them burial
with proper military hOnors at such point
as may be designated by the war depart
ment. Gen. Crittenden, whose son fell
in the fight, objects to the renewal, and
has written a letter asking that the
remains of the heroic band be permitted
to rest where they are now inferred, that
they may signalize, for all time, the spot
where they SO nObly fell. Gen. Crittenden
in his letter says: There can be no
filter resting place for the true soldier
than the spot which his blood has
hallowed. 1t would be vandalism to dig
up and scatter widely the bones of these
men who have been buried, as they died,
shoulder to shoulder They all perished
together, fighting without hope, aud the
comradeship thus cemented should never
be sundered." At the last session OF
congress authority was granted for de
erection of two additional military posts
in the Yellowstone valley, leaving the
location discretionary with Lieut.. Gen.
1t is understood hehas selected
the scene of the Custer massacre, on the
Little Big Horn river, as a site for one
of these two forts, to be called Fort
Custer, and it is probable the spot where
Clusters troops fell and are buried vii be
as a cemetery.

THE EFFECT OF NOISE oN THE BRAIN.
There is close connection between a
healthy brain and a quiet, unirritated
auditory nerve. 1t is not impossible
that the noise in which We live ahd
which fools delight in as signs OF cosmo-
politan lie is responsible for much OF the
paralysis. neuralgia and general nervous
irritability characteristic Ofmodern times
1t is no laughable matter. but a serious
one. and useless noises ought 10 be aoated
as nuisances. Let it be remembered that
of all our FIVE senses two only are intel
lectual. the instruments of art culture,
seeing and hearing. Ii anything, hear
ing is the most highly and purely intel
lectual, for articulate speech, reason and
rythmic poetry and music depend upon
this function. The sensitiveness of an
organ is in proportion to its delicacy, and
exquisite t.rture can be caused by the
ear. The eye we can protect, for we car
close it at will, but the ear Is an ever
open portal, and throws us upon the
mercy of mankind--PfOridcace I'rcss.

Among the black magicians are the
serpent charmers, who have the same
powers as the psillis of Egypt. They
have as keen a sent as a dog tor a snake,
and will 60 straight to its hole and dig it

jugglers viii do the same thing as the
fakirs do, and by similar process of in
cantation. | remember. / WAS once in
the bungalow of rich Indian, where a
f,kir and juggler both per ,Ormed their
feat;. In the room were a tame tiger,
chained, monkey, and parrot While
the fakir was performing they all showed
signs of great delight, but when the
sorcerer began the tiger leaped around in
evident terror, roaring in frightful
manner, and at last became so violent
that he broke his chain, leaped through
the window, ran away, and was never
seen again. The monkey fled to his
perch, grasped it with his tail, and hung
in a fainting fit, while the parrot fell to
the floor nearly dead.
