THE HEATRENs AND CHRIsTIANs.-
The heathens are organizing foreign mis-
sions for the conversion of Christians
The Hindus of the sacred city of Benares
have founded society for the propaga-
ton of Brahmnism, among the Christ
ians of Australia. An eminent Brahmn
OF the name of Suradschi, a man of great
authority has recently been visiting some
of the English colonies, and while trsv-
cling in Australia, was appalled, and
grieved at the fearful prevalence of drunk
enness among the Christians. On return
ing to India he called together a number
of thoughtful BTahmins, TO whom he COM
municated his glowing zeal to do some-
thing for the salvation of their degraded
fellow-men and FELLOWSHIP bjects in Aus
tralia. The only perfect remedy he con-
sidered, would be the conversion of these
Christians to better and purer faith. A
large sum was collected for the pious and
benevolent enterprise, and some Of the
Brahmins declared their willingness to
devote themselves to the work, and to
spend and be spent in this humane and
holy cause. Suradschi is now engaged in
translating fitting passages from the Ve-
das into the English tongue, for the use Of
the missionaries.

"Does ho ssy anything in his deliri-

"Oh, yes he raves all the time about
the big mold. Il hope it will fill hope

The men exchanged glances. 1t was
indeed true. Tho idiot had cast the great
bell of st. Johns. just then the physi-
clan came out. Perhaps he will recov-
er his reason by this shock and sickness,
he said. Such things have happened"
"Do you think so ?" " Pray heaven
he may !" solemnly calculated the mas
ter and his men and they turned away
deeply moved.
Two months later the great bell hung
from huge derrick in the lathe room
of the factory, and beneath it stood
heavy truck upon which it seemed about
to be lowered. A silence fell upon tho
group of wurkmen, Ne the pale face and
feobc form of "lnvcntor appeared,

had recovered his reason, and was fast
getting back his strength. His largo
gray eyes instantly fastened themselves
on the bell, that splendid masterpiece,
whose making meant SO much to him.
They had told him the whole story of tho
casting, and the disaster in the foundry,
but it seemed like II wlldFomance to him.

Two men lifted him up and put u small
hammer in his hand.
He struck one gentle blow. A deep,
sweet, mourntu tore, solemn as tho
sound of distant waterfalls, rolled from
the great bell and echoed through the
foundry. Tears filled tho eyes of the
rough men as they heard it.
"Ah," said the master, "thcro is a

LAKE TAHOE. .-Truckee is thriving
railroad town, and the starting point for
Lake Tahoe-called the "Gem Of the 81
erras." The road from Truckee winds
along Truckee river upon canyon bear
ing the same name. 1t is fourteen miles
long, with a succession of fine views the
whole length Of the road.
The snow-cad Sierras are on our right
and beautifully tmbcred hills on each
side OF the river. A few miles up the
canyon successful fish farm is in opera
be seen in every stage of trout's existence.
As we reach the head Of the. canyon we
find we are also at the outlet, or at the
head Of the Truckee river, whose waters,
like all the rivers Of Nevada, are lost in
sinks. None of them have an outlet into
the ocean.
The views as we emerge from the can
yon is beautiful. The broad expanse Of
the majestic lake lies before us, encircled
on all sides by towering mountains
Half of the lake is in Nevada, the other
half in California. 1t is twenty light
miles long and from twelve to sixteen
miles wide, and has been sounded to the
depth Of 900 feet. 1t waters are beau
titul ultramarine, and it must be called
the purest water in the world, containing
only four per centum ofimpurities. II is
so light and mobile as to be easily lashed
into foam or Gained to a mirror-lile sur
face. In the early morning it is like a
looking glass with surrounding objects
reflected in it with surprising accuracy.
Several steamers of small tonnage are
used in navigating it. Its altitude is
about six thousand five hundred feet !;
it is always cool and pleasant in the hot
test weather. The lake never freezes,
and never gives up its dead. No person
that was drowned has been known TO rise
to the surface. Wood, ms soon as it is
saturated, sinks to bottom. The water is
as clear rs a crystal, and huge rocks fifty
feet down srae plainly discernible.

ABDUCTED.

Numerous stories have been told of wo-
men being abducted by ourangoutangs,
carried off to the wooden retreat and
treated with the utmost Difference and ad-
miration. Incredulous persons have
questioned these stories, but here is one
that cannot be doubted, for we have it on
the authority of grave and dignfed
college professor, no less a parsonage
than Prof. Austin, of Cambridge.
In 1868 young fellow by the name of
Tuba was missing from one of the Bor-
mean villages. His people began to fear
that some terrible accident had befallen
him, and concluded TO ferret out the
mystery.
Having armed themselves they accord
ingly started out and searched through.
the jungle for four days without finding
any trace of the lost. On the fifth day
they came to the Sakarang River, where
every one of them went in bathing. They
went down the river short distance,
when one of the number fortunately dis
covered some clothing on the nearest
bank, which, on examination proved to
be that Of their missing friend, Close
beside it lay the sumitan, or blow-pipe,
and the short sword which he always
carried with him.
A little later the party heard voice,
and after dressing they set out in search
They followed n ravine which led back
from the river, scanning every nook and
hole, searching under coverts Of leaves and
dead, fallen branches, but in vain. They
were on the point Of retracing their steps
when they again heard the voice.
1t was the voice of Tuba, and strange
as it may appear, he was soon discovered
high in tree naked, and a large orang
outang was his companion. A rife shot
brought the animal to the ground, where
they finished her with knives. Then the
young man came down and told the story
of his singular adventure.
He had been out hunting, he said, and
late in the afternoon had gone into the
water Of the Sakarang to bathe. On re-
turning to the bank to dress, he was seiz-
ed by the arms by an orang-Outang, who
made him follow her into the ravine
They arrived at the foot of tall tree
which the youth was forced to ascend un-
til he had reached the animals nest where
he found himself prisoner in comlorta-
bic lodgings. Day after day he remained
there, the orang-outang graciously sup
plying him with fresh fruit and vegeta
bes, and even bringing him water in {
cocoa-nut.
When | heard this story | very nat
urally refused to believe it. But NOR,
searching investigation proved conclu
sively that the facts of the case were in
disputabe and the attending circumstan
ces corroborative in full. This inciden
has ,ully established in my mind th
conviction that abduction by orang
Dngs have taken place--a conviction
which | find is also shared by st. Joh
the author of very readable work O
Bornean travels.

A LAST KIcK.-In the first division,
second corps, we had a mule noted for
his wonderful kicking powers. In fact,
he was ready to give any one kick, up
on all occasions. On the road to Rich
mond he got his leg broken in a bridge,
and was taken out Of the team and shot,
and was to all appearances dead, when a
soldier ran up, seized the mule by the tail,
and exclaimed:
"Now kick !"
And the mule, having just one kick
let him have it, breaking the soldiers
jaw, and sent him rolling in the ditch.
The soldier never heard the last Of being
kicked by dead N ale.
