Remarkable Ceremony in India.

Invitations were recently issued to- al officers and other European and native residents to witness festival known as "Agni Kund," which literally means walking over pool of fire, at the resi-. dence of the Rani of Coorg. says letter from Benares. The invitations were largely responded to, and all the European spectators were astonished at seeing the natives walking over a pool of living coals. The place where the fire was placed was about twenty feet long, four feet wide and two feet deep Al one end of this was situated the god O, fires made of knoaded -four, and the great god Mahadeo was conveyed around the fire three times in a grand palan. quin borne by priests, amid great sing. ing and dancing (something after the fashion of the Indian war dance and song). After the third turn one of the priests, with drawn sword, severed the head of the god of fires, which they said had the effect of cooling the fire." After the defeat of the god several nat ives, young and old, of different castes, walked across the fire with bare feet. None of them complained, but repeated their walks.

AMERICA is bound to come to the front in everything. The latest evidence of this is to be found in the bill congress has passed authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Hudson river from New York city to the New Jersey shore. All other bridge structures in the world would seem insignificant beside this, if it should ever be completed. The bold ness and magnitude of the design, in- volving a structure 1000 feet in length, and with anchorages each of which would contain 30 per cent more masonry than the largest of the pyramids of Egypt, excite astonishment and admira- tion even in these days of mechanical triumphs.

THE Sunday base ballists are deriving considerable satisfaction from Cardinal Gibbons opinion that the seventh day of the week should be devoted, first, to religious work, and, second, to innocent and healthful recreation, in order that the masses may get relaxation from their work. The base ballists think they find in this dispensation in favor of church going in the morning and base ball in the afternoon, but this is carry ing the cardinals definition little too far. Innocent recreation for Sunday may include good many things, but the national game should not be counted as one of them.
