Callttta, India, May 15m, Editors Democrat : From late papers we read of the dreadful blizzards in Dakota and New York, and 6haU I confess it reluctantly admit India 8 tropical clime i not so very bad after all, .. if th the thermometer docs register 8i 6 a. m, 'jf 4 P- m- and S3 10 p' '" Consistency may be a jewel, yet I do not enjoy perpetual spring.and have been long In" all the past winter for a good old-fashioned sleigh-ride in the fine bracing air, which sends the sluggish blood bounding through the veins, the eyes grow bright, the cheeks fresh and rosy ; then one feels, it is good to live. Here we simply exist, clht months out of twelve ; day after day, the same glaring monotonous heat.tne same roasting, boiling, frying, (unless one con stantly sits under the punkah,) and then comes the stewing process, as the damp heat is much more enervating and un healthy than the dry heat. Now and then, from March until the middle of June,(when the rainy season sets in,) the monotony is broken by a north-wester, a fierce gale of wind anddust.then thunderand lightening, accompanied by a perfect down pour of rain, the wind suddenly shifts about and we have a furious war of the elements which always gives one an uncomfortable dread of cyclones, hurricanes and all man ner of dreadful possibilities ; yet we wel come the change; and revel in the cooling draughts of steam tossed air that is hurled about so swiftly and suddenly as to almost deprive one of breath. Between the mos quitos and the prickly heat, one is driven nearly wild, many people look as though they were having measles. I assure you it is sl rply maddening to sit still and en tertain callers when one is suffering from prickly-heat and longing for relief in the bath tub. Indeed, I think mosqultos and rooks are the only living creatures that really enjoy life in Calcutta during this season of the vear. The former attends strictly to business with unabated zeal, all the fanning, slapping, stamping and kick in give one only temporary relief .Naughty ones confess they are tempted many times to break the third commandment. One is Compelled to sleep under mosquito curtains Bl the year round, which is anything but refreshing. Many people who have night punkah's have them arranged Inside the curtains. Of course you all know a punVah is a huge kind of fan. The top is made of light wcoJ whfch varies from three to twelve feet in length ; from the lower side hangs kilting 01 ruffles of cloth, (any kind or color ane chooses,)about eighteen Inches wide ; fiom the upper side or tins Doaru, (which is painted, papered or decorated to suit the taste of the owner,)are stout cords attached to the ceiling , tiien a stout cord is secured near each end of the bourd.term inating In one near the wall, where it is passed through a ho'e to theoutside.whcre a coolie (called a punkah-walla) pulls this cord, creating a most dcliglitttu reeze. India without the punkah during the hot season would be simply intolerable. Night punkih's arc not very desirable for delicate people. Invariably the punkah-walla goes to sleep during the long, hot night, and when the nunkah stops one wakens to find himself bathed in perspiration ; shouts of "tono, tono," (pull, pull.)do not always have the desired effect, then one must get out of btd.dash water over the unconscious punkah-walla, (which, I suspect, he really en- joys,) or hurl a shoe at him, or rouse him in as startling a manner as possible. Then he pulls for dear life and one is suddenly thoroughly chilled, often Willi saa results. We have been remarkably fortunate,in be ing able to do without night punkahs, as our rooms are in the third flat of an im mense brick building fronting on the great maidan.nnd if there is any breeze.whatevcr, we have the benefit of it,a boon to be coy cted in this climate. Summer and winter the saucy rook pursues the same.cheerfid, tantalizing way .perching on your window sill at early dawn and cawing in the most provoking manner.and when your "chota hazric," (little breakfast of tea and toast,) is brought to you unless you are very watchful you will only hear the swift whiz of wings and, lo I your toat has van ished. Krom your own veranda,or a neigh, boring tcrracc.this audacious intruder tips hU head on one side and gives you a most comically knowing wink. No one is per mitted to molest these glossy, black-coated, grev necked, bright eyed birds.as thcy.and the sttipid.ugly kites, nrcthc best scaven. gcrs this dirty city possesses. Calcutta lias settled down to its usual hot weather Inertness. With the departure of Lord nnd Lady Dufferin for Simla, in the Himalaya mountains, the gaieties cea-ed. All who could do so.tkd away to the"l lills." (at the different stations in the llliualay's are called,) or to England. Just r.o.v, and for a few weeks past, the biKkim cx,.. tion has been attracting public attention. Sikkiin is the smallest and least important of the Himalayan states.but is now brought before the public.by the recent action of the Raja.and the party in Tibet, which has In cited him to defy the Indian Government. The Raja of Sikkiin is of the Tibetan race, and the ties of blood have been kept up by the fact that the Kaja possesses hind and houses in the Tibetan valley, to which he has been in the habit of making annual ..;n One can readily understand how with the sympathy of a common religion the Tibetan Lamas have been able to exert , ,nr. nmfound influence over the Raja than has the most skillful and successful of F.nollsh officials. Backed by the secret sympathy of the Raja, the Tibetatans have recently bccnencroacinng on ainsnu ic.u tory, hence the dispatch of the present ex nmiition.consistinz of 1500 troops and foui guns; who arc to inflict chastisement on tlse Tibetans. They are discribed as a M.mteil ixnorant. nriestiv caste.withwhom the English have vainly souglit to estau lUh friendly relations.for more than a hnn dred years. Sikkiin has only about 1550 smiare miles, and a population of Kzo in- Vmhitnnts. It is wed-red in between Nepaul and Bhutan on the east and west,and Tibet and Bengal on the north and south. It con sist of a mass of mountainous spurs. In manv nlaces the hills have been complete ly denuded of forest to an elevation of about 7000 feet, ir. order to make room for tea plantations and gardens. To be concluded to-morrotv.
