Jnva's Ruined TemnIes

The greatestforce Of the late gigan.
tic eruption in Java seems to have
been at the western end, where Ban
tam, the Dutch capital, is situated
But the activity Of the under world
force was not confined to one part Of
the island. About the middle Of the
island, but not given on ordinary
maps, there is a group of very remark
able old temples. Their position may
be roughly understood by q reference
10 any map Of Java by drawing a line
south Of Samarang to the other coast,
where q river will be found called the
Progo, and on the east Of it there is q
town which has a variety Of spellings,
but it may be written Djockjakarta-
the Dutch call it "Jockio"-this
place is also mentioned as having
suffered seriously. About thirty.fve
miles from Djockjakarta is the great
Temple Of Boro Buddor; also called
Boro Bodo and Boer Buddha. The
dome OF this monument is stated to
have been crushed in by falling rocks.
Tho temple does not stand on the side
OF a mountain, but on the top Of q
hill, so it could not have resulted
from masses Of rock rolling down
upon it The destruction must be

CERRO GORDO WILLIAMS.
A Vain cid HerO-HOw Ke Re
memhered the Bugle.

q n ... #.
A Lexington, KY, letter to the
Philadelphia Times says: Old CerrO
Gordon Williams is the handsomest
man Of his years in Kentucky, not
excepting General William Preston,
formerly minister TO Spain and at the
court Of susceptible Isabel. Williams
is six feet two inches, with grizzled
iron m~oustaehe and curled wig, pierre
ing gray eyes, the frame Of a giant and
a voice Of fine melOdious ring. He is
as vain as a peacock. While travelling
in southern Russia, when a young man,
be alighted at q village where the
Emperor Nicholas was hourly expec,
ted. Williams was taken for the EN-
peror. 1t took the Russians an hour
TO get over their mistake, but Williams
has never entirely recovered. He won
his title by gallantry before the walls
Of Cerro Gordo, a Captain in SCOTS
army, and he has maintained his fame
for prowess by many personal encOun-
ters since, in all Of which he has
handled himself we'll. He affects the
quality divine to pOliticians-of an
infallible memory for names and faces,
and is not above tho crudest arts
OF a demagogue. One evening
at Stanford, while he was dining
with some friends in an upper
room at the town hotel, one of his
admirers stumbled across Buck
Combs, who had been bugler in vii
liams, regiment during the war. They
had not met since. Combs got his
bugle and,acoompanied by an immense
crowd, went down TO serenade his old
commander with war melodies.
Standing under his window he lifted
up the old regimental call to "bOot
and saddle" He repeated il once and
again.
atom" said old Williams to his
host, where is hat stage starting 10
this time OF night, and what's the dri.
yer tootin' so id much about?"
"Why, Senator" explained his
friend, regretfully, that is Buck
Combs, your old bugler, serenadlng
you. l told EN- you would remember
him and his buglo, and they want a
speech"
The old General stepped out Of the
window on the balcony, and lifting his
voice as silence fell on the crowd, be-
gan:
"That bugle call" he said, with a
choking voice, that bugle call, my
friends, is like a dear echo Of memory.
If | had heard it 10 the untrodden
wilds Of a painless wilderness | would
have known that old Buck Combs
was winding its sweet notes. Often
has it called the old command to fields
Of carnage and the thrill Of victory.
[Cheers. There is but one bugler in
the world who could evoke these sweet
notes and that is Buck Combs, Of the
old -th Kentucky. [Cheers1 |

Mr.. j. H. Woodard C'Jayhawker," ~
writes us from the Cincinnati Enquir>
or Office anent q paragraph published
last week. He says he is 80 years old,
instead Of As, and has brown hair in
stead of red. We cheerfully retract
the statement as to Mr.. Woodard's
age, but must firmly decline to retract
what we said about the color of his
hair. We feel that We must draw the
line somewhere. Mr. Woodlands hair
is red = unmistakably, clearly pro-
nounced, palpable red; not a Neapoli-
tan, sunset red, either, nor yet the
mild hue Of timid school girls blush
simply q bald. cold, plain red. the
same color people used to paint their
barns when the Wing party was in the
sscendency.- Chicago News.
Our recollection is that Jayhawker's
hair resembles in color the coat Of a
yellow calf reduced 10 flesh and badly
sinburned. 1t hangs in lank locks
about his big ears and gives him a de
eidedly frightened appearance. On
the whole, Jayhawker resembles moth
ing so much as what one might imag-
ine a picture Of the features of Dick
Swiveller and Uriah Heep in one face.

BoRo BUDDoR.
Boro Buddor Is By far the largest
and greatest monument Of the Budds
hist religion in the East. The temple
Of Nakon Wat in Cambodia
is the only other that can be
put 10 comparison with II. The
base Is square, and each side Is about
four hundred feet long. The upper
portion is circular and about one hun.
bred and fifty feet in height; there is
one central dome, and there are about
seventy smaller ones On the terrace
round it there are between four and
five hundred chspels, each with a
statue Of Buddha in it, each seated in
the usual cross legged position. The
sides are covered all round with bas.
reliefs on each terrace; one terrace has
100 subjects, which embrace the whole
history Of Buddha. The temple is a
solid mass Of masonry, and is Of the
same kind as the Dsgobas Of South,
ern India or the Topes Of the North
west.
AN ORIENTAL WONDER.
The first notice Of this temple was
given by Sir Stamford Railes, who at
time stated that "the interior Of Java
contains temples that as works Of art,
dwarf to nothing all our wonder and
admiration at the pyramids Of Egypas."
Miss North has lately painted pictures
Of Boro Buddor on the spot. About
twenty miles southeast Of Boro Bud
dor is a place called Brambanam.
This is the site Of the ancient capital
Of Java, and thereare very large mum.
Der Of temples standing which have
more or less suffered from former
earthquakes. One Of the celebrated
groups at this place is known as the
Chandi silva, or the Thousand Tenn
pies" This is also said to have suffer
ed. There is a volcano somewhere
near to these and to Boro Buddor,
called Mount Merapia, which has
probably been the active agent in this
case.

Translated from tie French Of Albert Wolf for
n o. Times.Dcmocratl
The capital is an establishment. Tho
gilded cupolas OF the cathedrals and
chapels glitter under the sun. Every.
thing is large, magnificent, dazzling
totally unlike other capitals which all re-
semble each other and apo each other.
Everything here has a special character,
n color OF its own;-ovorythingi Is equal
ly interesting, because the peculiar ma
tional element Is everywhere visible, in
the costume OF the peasant, whichhas re-
manned unvsryingly the same for centu-
ries.-in the attir OF the cab driver, en-
veloped in his long Rattan, and wearing a
little roundcap bullying out great deal to-
ward the summit. lin the uniform Of the
soldiers-in the private vehicles
in tho way horses gallop and mon walk.
After the miseries we had glimpse OF
in the country only yesterday. we now
bohold the luxurious capital with its pal
aces. its monuments, its magnificent
churches whose columns are often Of
malaohite and even lapis.lazuli, Its chap
els containing holy images in embossed
gold enriched with jewels Of wondrous
value. Here is the luxury Of tho court,
OF the aristocracy, and of religion. II
forms picture as dazzling rs that of the
country was mournful; and thus in two
days had had sight both of the i'm
menso riches which are the country's
strength, and the gnawing miseries by
which it suffers.
