SENSIBLE HEATHEN.

The heather are organizing foreign
missions for the conversing of Christians.
I he Hindoos of the sacred city of Bena-
res have founded society for the pro-
pagation Of B ahminism among the Chris
tans of Australia. An eminent Brahmin
OF the name of Suradschi, man OF great
authority, has recently been visiting some
of the Euglish colonies, and while trav-
cling in Australia, was appalled, and
grieVed at the fearful prevalence ofdrunk-
enness among the Christians. On re-
turning to India he called together num-
Der of thoughtful Brahmins, to whom he
communicated his glowing zeal to 90
something for the salvation Of their de-
graded fellow-men and fellow subjects IN
Australia. The only perfect remedy, he
considered, would be the conversion OF
these Christians to better and purel
faith. A. large sum was collected for the
pious and benevolent enterprise, and
some of the Brahamins declared their will
lingnessto devote themselves to the work
and to spend and be spent in this hu
name aud holy cause.Suradschi is low Ell
gagged in translating fitting passages from
the vedas into the English tongue, FOL

Thousands of Ha,oks on the Warpath.
l'- fFrom the Galloway Gazette.l
A very curious phenomenon occurred
in this vicinity during the last Week in
September. We heard several persons men
ton it at the time, but took pains to in
uuire particularly concerning it before
venturing upon its publication. A num-
Der of reliable persons who witnessed the
sight all gave the same facts, Near Mid
die river, about sixteen miles south OF
Fulton, thousands of large hawks were
seen circling just above the trees. After
they reached the creek near A. T. Will
liams' farm, large numb bers of them lit in
theetrees and collected close together.
Parties with shot-guns went in among
them aud killed a number, but the hawks
seemed tired and determined to rest and
the firing failed to put any considerable
number of them to flight. Those that
did fly soo1 settled down again. After
resting about three hours they rose
again, forming great circles, the circles
often lnterlacing each other, and pursued
their flight toward the south. The speoi-
mems killed and examined show that they
were not quite so large as hen hawks,
and they were not prairie hawks, Mr., II.
w. Main, who witnessed this extraordi-
nary sight at a point some eight miles
distant from that Of the gentleman whose
names are mentioned below, says that
they were quail hawks and that as the
quails have begun TO leave the country
they were in pursuit Many of the hunt
ers who were out looking for birds tell us
that they saw hundreds of quails in the
immediate vicinity ofthe hawks, but they
refused to fly, and ran as If in terror to
the thickest part of the bush.

A curious story IS told OF General Tod

A curious story Is told OF General Tod
leben, the famous Russian engineer. In
the beginning of the Crimean war he
distinguished himself so greatly by his
skill in constructing field-works that he
was recommended to the Gar for pro-
motion to the rank of staff officer. When
the honor was about to be conferred, it
was found, to the general CONSERVATION,
that he was a Jew. Such thing as a
Jew being a Russian staff officer never
having b en- heard Of, the Gar was told
it was impossible. "Very well," said
the Emperor, "Let him be baptizedp
This was counting without the Israelit-
ish engineer, When the proposition
was made to him, he declined promo
ton on such condition, for it would
kill his old mother, then eighty years o.
age. After awhile, however, the mothel
died; Tudleben was baptized Greel
Catholic, aud was elevated to the 1mper
lial engineer staff.
