THE BEN HAMMOND.

In the month of June, 1854, the English
brig Ben Hammond, Capt. John E. Clark,
passed through the Straits of Sunda ON her
way into the Indian ocean, bound for Mel
bourne The crew, all told, numbered eleven
people, and the brig had a miscellaneous
cargo. She signaled ''All well" when going
through the straits and that was the last
heard of her for five months. Then a sailor
named Charles Renfoe arrived at Sydney
and told a very curious story.
About forty miles off the straits the brig
fen in with small sandal wood trader in a
sinking condition She was carrying lot
g. natives from one of the islands of Sumatra
10 some port in Java, and had sprung leak.
The brig had either to stand by her or take
r reonle off, and Capt Clark decided upon
nc former course. The vessel had struck a
~ or some other floating obstruction while
s~iIing at u fast rate, and had been badly
G1maged about the bows
This occurred in the early morning, and it
= as lust at sunset that the brig came up with
her, The injured craft had been creeping in
Cr the Java coast, but as wind and current
" are ar~ainst her she had made very slow
rrogress. Her pumps were so small that they
g. otIII not throw out what aquarter inch hole
would let in, and crew and passengers were
ldIy rat'led It was a beautiful evening,

Treasure Hoardins in India,

1t is difficult to estimate the amount Of
gold boarded in India but it was approx
mated before the royal commission on
bimetallism at one hundred and thirty mil
lions sterling, which was the amount i'm
ported during the last fifty years, and is ex-
elusive of the boards for centuries past. The
silver was computed at about one hundred
and seventy millions. This yields for both
gold and silver a sum of three hundred mil
lions, which represents nearly one-Ulird of
the value of the total amount of coin III 900, :
0OO.000 estimated by DR.. Soetbeer to be in
circulation in the world The form which
the boarding takes is that of bullion or coin,
and frequently the metal is made into orna-
ments, partly used for the purposes of adorn-
ment and partly kept as hoard.
As rule the native prefers it in the form
of ornaments for his family, because it is a
hoard and it is also a source of qualification
to them to possess these ornaments. The
simplest form of jewel or ornament worn by
the natives is the thick gold or silver wire
twisted into bangles or bracelets The latter
are made by the silversmith, to whom the
poor Hindoo betakes himself when he has
saved few rupees. These are soon melted
and beaten up into the necessary article of
ornament and hoard. Silver is also ham,
mered into brooches and torques in imits ion
Of knotted grass and leaves, while armlets,
anklets and such like are freely fabricated.
Solid or hollow gold Jumps in the form of
cubes and octahedrons strung on red silk ap-
pear as another form Of stored wealth.

THE YEARS.

Ye gray, bent, melancholy years,
Drunk with the wine of bitter tears,
And laden sore with pallid fears;
What gifts found ye of joy or mirth
We're worth the mighty throes Of birth?
Ye met the phantom, miscalled Love
A thing that wears a mask above
Its hideous face; the name thereof
Is Lust, that changes full as soon
AS doth the tickle, changeful moon.
Ye heard the voice of Hope grow dumb,
And felt the heart of Faith grow numb;
And Honor, lost beneath the Stun
OF Pride and Passion, cried in vain
For succor from her shameful pain
We travelled through the fiery mist,
Where demon miserieS 81 at and Kissed,
And tears for smiles have been your grist;
Ye stopped, and, melancholy years,
What marvel We are bowed with fearsS

Lofty Lakes of the World.

The most loftily situated lakes are found
among the Himalaya mountains in Thibet.
Their attitudes do not, however, seem to
have been accurately gagged, for different
authorities give widely different figures re-
garding them. According to some, Lake
Manasurovara, one of the sacred lakes Of
Thibet, is between 10000 and 10000 feet
above the level of the sea, and if this is so it
is undoubtedly the Hottest lake in the world
Two other Thibetan lakes, those of Cholamoo
and Surakol, are stated to be 1900 and
Is, 400 feet in altitude respectively. For
long time it was supposed that Lake Titicaca,
in South America, was the Hottest 4 the
world. 1t covers about 4, 500 square miles, is
924 feet above the sea. In spite of mex
actitude with regard to the measurements of
the elevation of the Thibetan lakes, they are,
no doubt, considerably higher than this and
any otherS-New York TELEGRAM

Beyond the single rose he sought

Until the gift, full antidote,
For all his grief and strife,
Led him to bless, with that she gave,
Another troubled life.
And words for this bestowment said
Were finer fragrance far
Than concentrated odors breathed
From all the lilies arel
All, lady, acts like thine shall bloom
In choicest beauty, where
The sweetness from the heavenly plains
Perfumes the sentient air.
