An Indian Millionaire.

a somewhat notable character has
died in Bombay. says The Times OF
India, in the person of Mr.. Kessoviee
Jadowjee, wealthy Bhattia merchant,
who was popul arly spoken OF during
life as a millionaire. The amount
of property he has left behind him does
not probably fall far short of 90 lakhs
o rupees. Although one of the
wealthiest men in Bombay. he lived
in very humble style at Maudvie, in the
native town, and affected no greater
display than man earning a small
salary might have done. His dress
differed IN no respect from that of his
fe'low-castemen of low degree. and he
drove about in a broken-dOwn one
horse shigram. Like many other
wealthy men of penurious habits he
was extremely litigious. His disagree
ments with his son, owing TO the disco
Lutte and extravagant habits of the
latter, will be fresh in the recollection
of many in Bombay. The son fell into
the hands of money-lenders and others,
who expected that the father would,
as he had done on numerous occasions
previously, discharge his debts, but the
old man seems to have determined that
he would no longer minister to his son s
extravagances, and he refused to lift 4
finger to save him from jail. Lilladhm
Kessowiee. the son, was on the debtor 5
side of the Jail for some time, ana
eventually died from disease aggra-
waited if not brought on by his excuses.
Owing to the VIGOROUSLY evil life CT the
son. and his fragrant breaches of caste
rules, Mr.. KessOwiee and his family
were communicated by their caste
until they had made a pilgrimage to
Bensres to expiate their sins by the
course of religious discipline prescribed
on such occasions. The old man was
too feeble to undertake this journey,
and died under the ban of his caste.
As a consequence, enormously wealthy
as he was. his funeral ceremonies was
only attended by sbout ten or a dozen
persons. 1t is believed that the bulk
of the deceased's immense property

of age, whom he had some intention OF
adopting. although he did not live long
enough to have the necessary adoption

QUESTIONS.

We question of the silence vast,
OF souls that people distant spheres;
What of their future and their past,
Have they our sorrows, joys aud fearsi
Do the same flowers make glad their sight
The same birds sing On their great seas
Do ships like ours, with canvas white.
Move stately, answering the breeze.
Have they THEN Christ, their Christmas
days
Know they Mahometl Buddha. One,
Or all, or none. And do they pray
Aud have they wrought as we have done
We cannot guess; It's hard indeed,
Our own orb's tale OF its dim past,
Through centuries untold 70 read,
And who its future shall forecast.
We know the hand that holds in check
The whirling worlds, each in its course,
And saves the universe from wreck
And peril. This tremendous Force
HOl : likewise all our little lives
The suns and stars do all obey
His bidding; never planet strives
To swerve from its appointed way.
The dangerous boon alone to US
Is given, TO choose 'twiNt i'll and well,
Rebellion or obedience; thus
To build our heaven, or dig our hell.
But one great thought our strength up
holds.
Nothing shall perish, Though His rod
Smites sore, Ills mercy still enfO.ds
His own: Gods souls are safe with God.

Talk about luck" says Colonel A.
r. McGill, state insurance commits,
sioner of Minnesota, and then he pro-
ceeds to tell this story, on the truth of
which he is willing to stake his chances
for the next gubernatorial nomination.
When, in the spring of 1862, the army
of the Potomac moved into the fOrtifi-
cations at Manassas and Centerville,
which had been vacated by the rebels,
the boys spent much of their time
gathering relics from the battlefield of
Bull Run to send home to their friends.
One day a gawky member of the Fourth
New York brought in an unexploded
percussion bomb and proceeded to
draw the load before sending it away.
He might, if he had brains enough to
last him over the doorsill, have taken
it to an artilleryman and had it safely
unloaded, but instead of this he took it
to a blacksmith shop, where with ham
mer and cold chisel, he sat down in the
middle of the floor, took the bomb be-
tween his legs, placed the chisel on the
brass screw at the point, and gave it a
smart lick with the hammer. The next
instant the atmosphere was dense
with disintegrated blacksmith shop.
A section of the batting roof had
business over in another county, and a
chunk of the side wall went down to
visit a neighboring camp. Pieces of iron
and steel that were once tools took an
immediate vacation and fled to parts
unknown. In short, the shop was de-
molished.
but what of the man?" we asked of
Colonel McGill.
He's the chap | was coming to.
When the boys rushed over to see what
was the matter, there he sat, bolt up
right in the midst of the debris, with
his legs straddled out, hammer in one
hand and a cold-chisel in the other, and
trying to spit hair off the end of his
tongue. . by gosh, he said as he
slowly crawled to his feet, Il guess the
folks at home'll have to git along
thout that shell.
The only injury that had been done
to him was the singing of his hair and
whiskers. He wasn't even much fright
ened till the next day. - Chicago NetCs
