Throwing Gold and Silver Into Crucibles
TO Make q Birds Wing.

Throwing Gold and Silver Into Crucibles
TO Make q Birds Wing.
Acorrespondent Of an Indian paper
describes a ceremony which took place
at Rangoon. II seems that in a re.
cent earthquake the birds wing of
gold and precious stones browning
the great Rangoon pagoda was thrown
down and injured.
The trustees of the building called
on the people for subscriptions for a
new one, and in three weeks a sum OF
about so, 900 rupees was collected. Ii
was notified that the melting of the
gold and silver would take place and
that it would be the last opportunity
Of contributing. In one Of the large
rooms of the pagoda two large cruel
bles were placed, one for gold, the
other for silver. Hundreds of men
and women, girls, boys and small chill
dren passed by, dropping their silver
or gold ornaments into the crucibles,
or handing their precious stones to the
clerk for the purpose of being set in
the birds wing. Women gayly
dressed and covered with jewels
passed by, and, taking a couple Of
gold bangles from each arm, threw
them into the pot, or they took off
rings, and, handing the stones to the
clerk, added the gold to the melting
mass. Those who had no gold put ru-
pee coins into the silver crucibles and
handed over others to the clerk for
the use Of the pagoda; even the beg
gars came and added their mites.
All parted with their treasure with
out a sigh, and, in fact. seemed glad
to give ii for such a devout purpose.
All their good deeds are so many
rungs mounted on the ladder towards
heaven. The Shans went in a body Of
twenty men and presented a diamond
weighing seventy-fye carats, which
Is TO be placed as the chief ornament
In the wing. The silver melted
amounted TO 1850 rupees, that collect
ed TO 3,525 rupees; the gold melted TO
l3,SOO rupees, and the precious stones
given were valued at 22, 600 rupees.
The wing that fell down was valued at
l22, 500 rupees, and the one 10 replace
1t will be worth175 900 rupees.
The umbrella ornament at the top
OF the same pagoda 0he Shaw-da-goanl
is said TO have cost King Mindine Min
six laos OF rupees. 1t is of pure gold,
richly set with gems, and Is actually
fifteen feet high, although al its pres
ent elevation IL does not seem two
feet. The pagoda itself is 1928 feet
high, and the hillock on which il
stands is about 100 feet. The pagoda
Is surrounded by the barracks of the
British troops, and the magazines are
said TO be in the hillocks on which il
Is built.-St. James Gazette.

PHANTOMS.

A cafe there is which frequently dine at
On plain table d'hote of the popular sort,
Which I aid to digest with all excellent wine
at
A most moderate price: so call for quart
When dinner is over; Alphonse will prepare
And the table is cleared, while the glasses
remain:
Then light my cigar and sip at my claret
While loiter at will through my castles in
Spain.
There are fancies and thoughts in the soul Of
the mortal,
Which lie silent and cold till the spirit of
With its magical wand pushes open the por-
And bids them spring forth tn their beauty
divine.
Then out of the dusk they come thronging
about me,
Flash bright for the moment and fade from
the view
AS the spirit awakes, and there courses
throughout me
The heart-warming glow Of the Chateau
Anjou.
But the visions of riches, ambition and glory
Soon pass, and again am playing part
In that Oldest of farces based on the old
OF youth; and lass and lad with q heart
Which is dying of love, or remarkab!..s near
Till she laughs at his suit. and then leaves
him to pine,
A disconsolate being whose grief-riven spirit
Can only be healed by the plaster of time.

She was gentle and fair as the dream of a
Hell face was the face Of an aureoled
A halo of hair, with such features below it
That only the brush Of genius might
paint.
But those days have long gone, and time flies

As swiftly the current of memory flows
Till it's checked by the bill and the hint quite
unneeded

like to close.''

An ending must be. II it's only 10 dreaming;
The bottle is emptied, the night has come

The stars are awake and the crescent is

For my wife's out of sorts and I'm pretty
sure of
A deuce Of q row, which will lead me to pom

YOpslr
New York Correspondence. I

New York Correspondence
"New York City has been more excited
during the past month over the revelations
which some Of the best known scientists
have made, than about anything that has
occurred before in years. Among the clubs,
wherever men and women congregate for
social exchange Of thought, In business cir
cles and in professional life have found
one leading topic Of conversation, namely:
the alarming increase of the great national
disease-P arrests. A few years ago this
modern malady was almost unknown; now
1t seems to be the most dreaded of all dis
eases. The best doctors are discussing it.
The Boards Of Health are investigating it
and scientists generally are aroused. In
sanity. pure and simple, was bad enough,
but believe Paresis is infinitely worse,
both In its subtlety and far-reaching results.
'Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, the highest
authority In America on mental and nervous
diseases says: 1T is disease incident to the
rapid life Of this country. In many cases it
Is dependent upon vice and not upon actual
overwork alone. Alcoholism and syphilitic
disease are frequently inducing causes"
aresis shows itself in many different
forms. Inability to remember and place
some familiar face; pain or ightness in the
head, specially across the eyes or base of the
brain; frequent watering of the eyes; absent
mindedness: desire to sleep but impossibility
one the next; special redness of the face
and eyes; these are a few of the many warn
ings of the approach of this dreaded disease.
Like most new Affections, physicians
have found difficulty III producing cures
Like most great discoveries, however one
man foresaw the evil, and provided for it.
That man was the late Prof. Phelps of Dart
mouth College. He knew men required
something heretofore unknown to the world,
and his investigations resulted in the dlscov-
cry of Paine's Celery Compound. 1t is ad-
mitted by the best medical talent of this city
that this Compound is the only discovery ca
pable of checking Paresis, or restoring
the brain, and its popularitv-in New York is
phenomenal; have been surprised to learn
been equally surprised to hear of its results.
Senator Eyarls, whose summer residence is
near that of the late Prof. Phelps, and who
has known of this Compound since its dis
covery, has used it with great success. Dr.
Small, of the N. Y. County Medical Associa-
ton, says that in nervous prostration, in
somnia, and even chronic alcoholism follow
ing delirium tremens. it has been perfect in
its power: On every hand hear good words
for it, and the sentiment of New York city is
entirely in its favor

off the ruin of our children, or from. the
still larger army of those who are
struggling to meet the heavy burden of
taxation laid upon them for the sup
port Of the system of state-controlled
education, let me beg OF him to treat
the subject as 1 have endeayored to do
that Is, not from a poIitica! or gectarian
feltal and patriotic standpoint.
Let me, III closing, commend to the
attention of the friends ana the foes Of
the system alike, the following sound
advice of Charles Reade in his book ell
titled 1.-THE Coming Man." "Facts
should always be faced. The champion
of truth neither shirks nor succuihbs.
Either he lets hostile facts convert him,
Or he meets them with more facts and
weightier. The same with arguments;
TO misstate, or even understate an OPP
pOnent's case, Is the practice of the
many respectable rogues controversy
breeds, but is more cunning than wise;
for these are the known arts OF false
hood, and truth gains nothing by them.
Truth can state the other side fairly,
yet still prevail; since, to put 1t in
Shakespeare's own words:
Good reasons must, perforce, give
place to BETTER"
