STRANGE MOVEMENT IN INDIA.  The Tim,' correspondent at Calcutta says: The strange marking of fruit trees with mud and hair in North Behar, which I mentioned in my telegram of April 18th, is spreading eastward and westward,but so cases have yet been reported south of the Ganges. The meaning of it and the agency by which it is effected are still mysteries, and there is some doubt whether the hairs are those of cows, pigs, or other animals. Many officials believe that it is dale by salmi or wandering mendicants from Janakpur, . . . . . .  . . in Nepaul. That ;hrine, which path the spot where Rama is said to have eipmea Site, seems to be making a great bid for popularity, and a large number of pilgrims have been resorting thither lately. The theory is then the Ellndus, . with the sanitary measures taken recently llurdwar, Pufi, and other centres of pilgrimage, desire to establish a new centre beyond &lash ter. ritory. The Government is watching the movement closely, but the fact that it is still in the dark about a matter which must be known to many thousands says little for the manner in which it is served by the native police.  Alfred Gibson, a lad of 17, a tailor's apprentice, of Scarborough, hanged himself in his bedroom. He had born to eunday-school in the afternoon,bnt is the evening rain prevented him from going out,and, as be was making a noise, his father told him be had better go to bed, and not annoy his mother,vho Is an invalui. This h the only meson given for the suicide.  At Bow-street Adolph Bernhard, of Dalaton-Mne, and Montane Bernhard, his brother, of Aahburnstreet, described as fur merchants, were with larceny and embezzlement within the j= tion of the United States. Adolph said he was prepared to meet the charge, which has raference to £5,000 worth of skins and furs.—A remand was  A new standard complete edition of the worms ot Edgar Allen Poe, by Mr. E. C. Stedman and Professor George Woodberry, is to be published shortly. What was called a complete edition wu published in England in 1872, but about two-thirds of Poe's writings were not included in the volume. About three years later Mr. J. M. Ingram issued another edition in four volumes. The new work, however, will be in 10 volumes, and will probably supersede ell_ite forerunners. . _ _  --C-o7m-t—T-Olstoi and his home are thus described by a German interviewer "The elegance of the entrance hall surprised me, and the footman in black who took my card astonished me still more. One Is not prepared to had in the home of this • philosophic hermit the social customs of an Embassy. This contradiction is very simply explained He lives in MCMICONV only as the guest of his wide. The winter residence in the capital is built for her and the children, who grow up amid all the pleasuree and joys of youth, their ruminating father not in the least begrudging then the vanities of the world. For Count 'Mitzi is no proselytiser. His shyness of the world and society, which has become a necessity fel him, be does not wish to force on his family. The last consequences of the 'Hreutzersonats ' are not so unrelentingly pursued by him, for his youngest child is still in frocks, and has looked out into this 'World of contradictions and confusion vrith its inquisitive eyes for not more than four or five years. After passing down long corridors, which are like so many entrenchments around Tolstoi's study, I at last stood before this remarkable man. I saw him just as the celebrated picture shews him—in his full peasant's smock, a belt round his waist, with the white beard, the melancholy deep-set eyes, the coarse grey hair, the thoughtful wrankled brows, the strong hands accustomed to work, which during his convereation he keeps passing through his belt, and the whole toadiing earnestness which surround, the man."  .111:19 /OW OW SULIO3II Ul 'lewd Leprzq exp own eappran• ri—pretutuoo ppeoee / 9flPi!
