May we experienced our severest storm
in India. We were all exhausted with
the trying intense heat, and bad been
longing for a rainy day just a gentle,
musical, pattering rain, that would re
mind us of Longfellow's "rainy day,"
hTbe dsy I old and dark and dreary.
rami ana tne wina is never weary ;
The viae Mill clings to the mouldering wall,
Bat at every rust the dead leave fall.
And the day Is dark and dreary."
Such a day in our tropical home is a
boon to be coveted, when one can lux
urate .in undisturbed quiet with letters
and papers from home, and books, one's
best and most discreet friends. But we
were not asking for, or expecting what
the elements gave us. The day had been
oppressively hot, and when a hushed,
breeding silence became preceptible, and
the kites and rooks flew low in countless
numbers, circulating to and fro, and ot
tering hoarse cries of warning, we begat,
f atching the tiny clouds that swept
swiftly over the distant horizen. Higher
ind higher, darker and darker they grew ;
&e wind began suddenly careering about
banging doors, windows, and shutters in
i the most unapproved manner; the dis
jtant muttering of thunder and the bright
''learns of litrhtnintr eorriettinsr behind

the wind-tossed cloila Bent people hurry
ing in all directions set-king shelter;
doors and windows were securely barred,
And none too soon; when with terrific
4Tash Jove hurled his thunderbolts
fbroadcast; the lightning flashed lurid
'red tongues of flame which
"frequent and furious darted thro' the dark
, And broken ridge of a thousand elouds,
J filed bill on hill."
The wind wailed and shrieked like lost
lemons, the rain came down in pitiless
lindinir sheets, fast and furious ; the tall
rees swayed and bent, groaning under
locked beneath his tread;" ani how he
fraged and raved for a time! By and by
9 seemed to exhaust himself ; the wind
lied away in fitful sobbing gusts, the rain
-eased, the clouds slowly iited beneath
he struggling sunbeams, and as the
Khoes of heaven's artillery frrew fainter
n the distance, we saw the footprints of
he storm in torn and ragged vines, bent
jhd broken boughs, heaps of discolored
' aves, and beautiful green trees that lay
'prone upon the rain-soaked earth, shat
tered ruins.
People told us "this wa only the tail"
i a severe cyclone which had visited the
Vay of Bengal and the southern coast,
aiming great loss of life and damage to
shipping. Calcutta is a great commercial
sea port, there being constantly moored
here over a hundred large sea-going sail
ihips and a number oil fine passenger
steamships, extending a distance of about
three mites along the river. At least
nine-tenths of these vessels fly the British
dag. Our little American fleet generally
consists of from three to ten ship" in port
U one time.
I During this terrible rvclone a staunch
.little tug boat, the "tetriever," went
iown with all on board. Only one na
tive sailor was rescued, after being in the
rater over seventeen hours, and a large
coasting steamer, the "Sir John Law
rence," was a total loss. Kvery soul on
jtoard perished, 800 all told ; 750 paseen

V ft loss of the many pilgrims on the "Sir
f ;ohn Lawrence" will have a sad effect on
? festival this year, but a late paper in
arms as that this festival has been on the
ane, and that tbe number of pilgrims
at been decreasing for some years, and
'uU it has been fouod diffictiit to get the
arof Juggernuat pulled to the country
of the 81. The religious enthost-
n of the crowds which need to rash to
!t a place at the ropes is disappearing,
aa it has actually come to pass that bun
Jds of coolies have to be hired to per
Tin this lob. The Hindoo say that "a
-Qphec had been issued from tbe in
eased Juggernaut, that two mora pi I
grim-ships are to be destroyed as an
atonement for the loss of the pilgrims in
the "Sir John Lawrence." Half the
prophecy has been fulfilled, it is said, in
tbe loss of the " Mahor atta," which was
lost on the treacherous sands of the James
and Mary bank in July last. This-ship
also earned about 300 pilgrims, of whom
only ten or twelve perished.
In tbe province of Oriasa, twenty miles
north of the greet temple of Juggernaut,
a recent writer tells ns, is the "Black
Pagoda" or "8un Temple," the most ex
quisite memorial of son worship in India,
built in the thirteenth century, the entire
revenue of Oriasa for twelve years being
spent on its erection. Originally there
were twenty-eight minor temples near
the "Black Pagoda," but the great "Sun
Temple" and a few isolated monoliths
alone remain, the temple itself being
now a deserted ruin overgrown with moss
and weeds.
The Mohammedans have a month of
fasting, commencing about the fifth of
May, daring which month nothing what
ever passes their lips frem 3 a. m. until
7 p. m. At the expiration of that month
they celebrate the festival of "Eedoal Fi
tur," the festival of breaking the fastlso
called Ramzan ki Eed, and the "feast of
alms." The day is observed as a high
holiday by the Mohammedans of this
city. The streets are thronged by happy
holiday-makers, and the scene is very an
it mated at the various mosques ; especi
ally at the great mosque on Dhurrumtolea
street, with its thousands of devont wor
shipers "clad in shining raiment," cover
ing tbe long steps, extending far beyond
the mosque itself, to the adjoining en
closure, aud out on the maidan. It is a
pretty picturesque sight, seen under a
cloudless sky, and bright sunshine, the
many-hued costumes of the dusky wor
shipers glittering here and there with
oriental splendor. The devotions of the
day are commenced by all good followers
of Islam performing extra ablutions ; ar
raying themselves in new garments, us
ing a great amount of perfume ; attar of
roses and other delicate odors of
which they are extremely fond. They
apply antimony around their eyes (an ad
ditional coating of black), and generally
distribute "fitur" or "sadak," wheat or
other grain food to the poor; after which
the nicsst devout ones proceed to tbe
mosque. repeating"God is great ! ' "There
is no God but God !" The priest ascends
the nimbar, or pulpit we are told (I have
never yet ventured into the sacred pre
cincts of a mosque ; only the outer apart
ment can be seen by a Christian, and the
seeing necessitates tbe removal of one's
shoes), and offers op a short thanksgiv
ing, and reads the sermon for the day.
Then he descends to the lowest step,
(which with "Siahs" is the third, but
with the ".Stinnies" is the fourth), telling
the virtues of the Sultan and imploring
the prayers of the multitude for him.
Then a general prayer is offered up, tbe
congregation rising en masse with shouts
of "Din! Din!" (faith.) The remainder
of the day is spent in rejoicing and enjoy
ment. In every house from palace to
hovel according to the means of the
family luxuries and dainties are pro
vided, and all manner of amusements in
dulged in. The Nautch girls dance in the
apartments of the men, and the miradins
(a class of singers who exhibit before
women only) are in great demand for the
festival. The matron of each palace sits
in state to receive presents from inferiors
and bestows favors on others.
Permit me through the medium of your
interesting paper to thank my kind
friend, Mrs. Dunniway, for the very en
couraging and wholly unexpected com-
pliaent she paid me through tr.e col
umns of the .Statesman. Being an ac
complished veteran in the ranks of jour
nalism herself, 1 appreciate her neiptui
words all the more as I am only a timid
novice in the art of "pen writing. Mrs.
Dunniway questions my orthography of
"Mizpah." If my kind critic will look in
her bible, chapter XWI. verse 49, of
tienesis, site will find my authority for
spelling "Mizpah." Some one has said,
What an unromantic name, noining
musical or pretty in it." No, dear reader,
but there is something sweet and solemn
in the message it bears to those who un
derstand and love me, which is, "The
Lord watch between me and thee, when
we are absent one from another." I had
no idea it was a name so loved in Europe
and thiseastern world when it was chosen
as a nom de plume, which has proven in
effectual, after all, to concealmy identity.
One sees the name worn here by Euro
peans (and in all the elegant jewelery
shone) on lines, charms and bracelets set
in nrecious stones, and on souvenirs of
love and friendship, always spelled
"Mizpah."
A PARISIAN CLOCK-MAKER.
A Parisian clock-maker, evidently an
admirer of General Boulanger, has hit
upon a happy expedient for increasing
his portion of wealth and fame. Having
noticed that only the jingo-men are popu
lar in this fickle day, he posted a notice
to the effect that many of the clocks
which were being sold as American pro
duct were really German make, and an
nounced that he would handle no more
of them. To prove his sincerity be went
to the trouble of smashing two or three

In a citv like Paris this was easily done.
for in spite of his surroundings th Paris

to that city:

A Napoleon of Finance.
Now it chanced that in the days of
King Putand-Call, the Mammonite, that
one Ali Ben Scoundrel was the trusted
high scribe and treasurer of the Freeze-
out exchange. The glittering minarets
that towered above its vaults, once etoied
with bonds and bullion, coin of the
realm, and multitudinous stocks, doubt
fully diluted with metaphorical aqua
pura, rose high and stately on the flower-
laden banks of the golden Euphrates.
Now, after a season in this position of
trust, it came to pass that Ali Ben Scoun
drel became sore distraught, and would
fain turn to Borne immediate relief from
his agony of apprehension. So the young
man got him straightway to the inn of
Ali E. Pluribus, the publican. And, as
he moved toward the gilded vases of
high wines, and jars of low coffin varnish,
yea, even unto the long 6lab of carved
cedar from Lebanon, and stained pine
from Muskegon, Ali E. Pluribus rubbed
gleefully together the palms of his jew
eled hands, and cogitated, solus:
"enlv. behold the voung Napoleon of
finance draweth nigh. It is indeed good
that he should tie here, for will he not
draw custom to my hotel, even as glucose
draweth the fat fly of September!"
And out i.. Pin nous spake facatiously
to Ali Beii Scoundrel, inquiring if it were
hot enough (or mm," and fawned be
fore him, even as the impecunious dude
fawneth before the wrath of his tailor.
And his words were like music to the ear,
and sweet withal, dropping as droppeth
the honey from a bear's jaws while loot
ing a Wisconsin bee gum.
.Now. as All Ben Scoundrel was athtrst.
be demanded a tipple of sherbet, tinc
tured with absinthe from the clime of the
lotus eater, and dashed with an amber
vintage from the place over against the
land of the blue grass and the equine
wind splitter. And, when he had drank
of his decoction, his mood became more
calm, and his speech glibber, and he
passed straightway from the lair of the
narcotized bell boy and Senegambian bis
cuit shooter, to the busy street, pulsating
with human life. And among the pul-
sators did Ali Ben Scoundrel encounter
one Mustapha Crooked work, the caliph,
he who judged vags from the police wool
sack, and was himself pretty well sized
up by the vox populi, which did its great
vox act among the neighboring hills and
valleys of the golden Euphrates. And
the cailph caught Ali Ben Scoundrel by a
pearl button of his gray serge cutaway an4
signified that he would have speech with
hin.
"I would fain give thee a pointer ,Vjoth
the caliph, Mustapha Crookedwork. "a
fly tip from the high seat of judicial
acumen."
Then Ali Ben Scoundrel bended him
self forward to barken unto the potent
words voiced by the man of legal attain
ments and gutta perch a conscience. And
the twain had speech one with the other.
And it came to pass that as the hours
waxed somewhat small and decidedly
wee, the hour of low twelve, when
"The cheeted dead
Did squeak and gibbet in the streets of Rome,"
Ali Ben Scoundrel crept to the rear en
trance of the Freeseout Exchange and ad
mitted himself with a ass key. lie fore
the door of a money vault he sat him
down wearily and communed with him
self. "Verilv." he said, "for eighteen moons
have I steadily sucked pecuniary emolu
ments from this now desolate financial
shell. The money changers on the curb
stone with whom I have hypothecated
these forced loans are discreet and solid,
but"
And Ali Ben Scoundrel did breathe
heavily, like unto a Long Branch belle
subsequently to her maiden header in the
surf.
The caliph is now onto me, and verily
the swag is short wherewith to silence
the clatter of his tongue; in sooth the
boodle waxeth low in the crib, and it
were better I hie from the money centers
and gat me into the congenial clime of
the Canuck, where directors cease from
troubling and embezzlers are at rest.
Yea, verily, it is high time to hie," and
Ali Ben Scoundrel chuckled a few unos
tentatious chucks.
And lo, as the night watchman moaned
heavily in the lethargy of his deep
slumber, it became incumbent upon Ali
Ben Scoundrel to inject a portion of laud
anum ad own tbe sleeping' guardian's
larnyx. And after a period of monkey
ing with the combination of the money
vault he plentifully stored his scrip with
such wealth and collateral as seemed
good to him and bade farewell to the
pudgy cash book, and th old familiar
ledger, honeyrom l false balances
and entries, and rti :i.ui the scenes of
past struggles and triumphs.
The night watchman was alone with
his conscience and soothing sirup.
Now, as Ali Ben Scoundrel paced up
and down the platform by tbe side of the
tramway, with a weainer eye to le ard.
and his hand on his pocketbo)L, a stranm
man with pink whiskers plucked th
hem of his garment and beckoned him
away to a seat in the lunch room ami !
the steam of debilitated coffee and where
the invulnerable sandwich defiantly
awaited an attack.
"I am a detective," quoth the strange
man, pulling his ecru beard and turning
tbe glare of his sky-blue optics full in.the
face of bis victim. Then Ali Ben Scoun
drel would fain have arisen and got him
self off to be lost in the crowd, but the
strange man detained him and insinuated
that any attempt to escape might possi
bly be followed by bloodshed and torn
raiment.
"I am a "dteriive," . continued the
I stranger, "and"
"Ton have does?" inquired All Ben
Scoundrel.
"Dozens of 'em," straizhway answered
the stranger, "I've got 'em in bunches in
my shawl strap."
''You are what is known as a sleuth
bound ?" pursued Ali Ben Scoundrel sar
castically.
"You've called tbe turn," meekly an
swered the stranger, "but to my busi
ness. One of my clues is this pearl but
ton. Oh, it is strangely similar to the re
maining three on thy cutaway. And this
hair, plucked from the brush on thy tot-
let stand. It is not, perchance, the same
one stroked by thy loving mother's hand
in years agone before the last thirst for
boodle became an unholy passion r
And Ali Ben Scoundrel smote his
breast.
"I must gather thee in," said the
stranger, "even as the rude, nndutored
cow man gathers in tbe maverick at the
season of branding. X nave piped tnee
off, and unless "
Then An Ben Scoundrel caught the
meaning of the dutiful stranger's glance,
and he straightway drew from his scrip a
corpulent roll of green velvet which he
had abstracted from tbe treasure vault of
the Freezeout Exchange. And be count
ed into the palm of the stranger the full
value of many talents of silver, and tbe
sleuth hound arose deferentially and
abased himself before the young Napo
leon of finance, and would have fallen
upon bis neck and kissed him had it not
been for the presence of the youth with
scrofula, who accepted the cash of the
travel-stained emigrant in lieu of tbe
boiled bam and turnovers.
"Don't let me detain you," asseverated
the detective, "yon must excuse my in
quisitiveness. My card. Guileless
Hawkshaw, Central station. Call me up
by phone should you wish to see me on
any further business. I go now lo re
examine my clews. Ta-ta."
And again it came on to pass that as
tbe modern Vidocq skipped the tra-la-la
from one end of the station, a hansom
cab was rapidly driven np to the other.
auu i rum we veaicie auguieu neoecca,
the beautiful daughter of Opulent Hass
an, head center and president of the
Freezeout Exchange. And Ali Ben
Scoundrel drew nigh and saluted her
warmly, and kissed the maiden on both
cheeks, and together they entered the
train there in waiting and sped over
trestles, through forests and valleys, and
boomed through cavernous tunnels,
shrieked through small obscure hamlets,
thundered along at the base of the
mountains, and rattled o'er cross-roads
and culverts and cattle-guards. And
with Ali Ben Scoundrel and Rebecca, the
fair, went peace and security sweet, for
was not their case safe in the bands of a
modern detective?
SINGULAR CONVERSION OF WINE.
Tbe following statement, which is go
ing the rounds of the press, is declared to
be a fact : An English gentleman had a
cask of Malmsey sweet wine placed in an
inner room in his wine-cellar. He was
absent from home for a long time, and
on his return ordered his butler to open
the wine for his guests. His astonish
ment may well be imagined when he was
informed that the entrance to the room
was closed by an enormous fungus growth.
An entrance was forced by chipping tbe
fungus with an ax. Tbe cask was found
empty, pressed against the ceiling, sup
ported upon and surrounded by this veg
etable matter.which almost entirely filled
up tbe remaining space in the apart
ment. A PERFECT ORDNANCE OFFICER.
A Danish officer is pictured to us mak
ing observations in regard to the devia
tion of rifle bullets. One day, when
walking on the ramparts at Duppel, he
saw a Prussian sharpshooter taking aim
at him. W bile the soldier placed him
self against a tree, in order to take a
steadier aim, tbe officer raise 1 bis glass
to watch his movements. "This is all
right," said he; "tbe musket is just on a
line with my breast we shall see." Tbe
trigger was polled, and the Danish officer
quietly wrote down : "At a distance of
about five hundred yards the deviation
of a ball from rifled musket is about one
meter. "Chambers's Journal.

commenced oa my head In a spot not largwr
than a cent. It spread rapidly all over my body
aad rot under my nails. The scales weald droe
off of me all the Una, and soy suffering waa
endless, and without relief. One thousand dol
lars would not tempt me to have this dlisasa
over again. I am a poor sub, but feel rich to ;
be relieved at what soma of tha doctors said
was leprosy, soma ring-worm, psoriasis, ete I
took and Sarsaparillas over one year aad
a half, but no cure. I cannot praise the CuUew
ra Remedies too much. They have aaade aay
skin as clear and free from scales as a baby's.
All I used of them waa three boxes of CuUcura. ,
and three bottles of CnUeura Resolvent, and
two cakes of CuUcura Soap. If you bad beeat
here and said you would have cured me for
1200 yon would have had the money. I looked
like the picture in your book of Psoriasia (pic

but now I am as clear as any person ever was.
Tbrourh force of habit I rub my hands over my
arms and legs to scratch once in a while, but to
no purpose. I am all welL I scratched twenty

CATARRHAL DANGERS.
To be freed from tbe dangers of suffocation
while lying down ; to breathe freely, sleep sound
ly and undisturbed: to rise rcfreheii, head
clear, brstn active and fre j from pain or ache;
to know that no poisonous, putrid matter defllea
the breath and rots away the dullcate machin
ery of smell, taste aad hearing; to feel that tbe
system does not, through lu veins and arteries,
suck np the poison thst is sure to undermine
and destroy, is Indeed a blessing beyond alt
other human enjoyments. To purchase Im
munity from such a fate should be the object
of all sftlicted. But those who have tried many
remedies snd physicians despair of relief or
cure.

Catarrh, from a simple head cold to tbe moat
loathsome snd destructive stages. It Is local
