AN INDIAN PRINCE WEIGHED AGAINST
PURE GOLD.-A curious ceremony was per-
formed the other day at Travancore. The
Maharajah was weighed against a mass of
pure gold, which was then dispensed in char

Of great antiquity, and is said to be tracea-
BILE in Travancore to the fourth century. 1T
is not unknown in other parts of India,
though, of course, gold is only used in the
case of wealthy persons, the humber sort
being content to weigh themselves against
spices or grain. On the present occasion the
Maharajah weighed a little over nine stone.
The Brahmins, it is said, wished to defer the
ceremony, in the hope that the Maharajah
might more nearly approach the weight of
his father, who did not undergo the rite
until II years old, when he weighed III

Death of General Grant.

The news of the death of Gen. Grant
which flashed over the wires at s O'Clock
Yesterday morning was received with feelings
of profound sorrow in this city. The sad

how near the hero was to them. Citizens
walked the streets in u hushed manner and
there was an absence of gaietv and mirth. Al

les. the city bells were tolled IS strokes, the

age. Photographs of the deceased draped IN
black and other manifestations of respect and
mourning were exhibited. Flags were placed
at half mast throughout the city.
