The Sacred City of the Hindus.
BenareS the Saiered OitY Of the Pin:
dus is a city so atspient that its ..origin
is only mythically recoi.ded. ' As the
religious centre of ilinkuiera.or ',Bud-
dhism, and then of Hinduisnragain, and
for a loner, period a -secondary eentre
of Islamism, it has influenced tise,faith
of more than half -the world's pOpul-
ation. But numerous conflicts have
almost entirely obliterated •all its eat -
Hest Monuments ; and what ha S not
been thus obliterated has.becorae inex-
tricably -confused on account of. the
appropriation • by one conquring faith
at" 0 the religioils. temples of that which
'preeeded. Hindu writers have done.
little to relieve the- difficulties . of the
archteologift. They have shown a sing-
ulat neglect of ehronology, and inAter
distaste for. noting and reoordin .his-
torical facts in a simple and conseat tive
manner.. This is the 'more remarkable,
when it is 'remembered that - Many of
them have been ,accustomed to close
thought, anc iaYe prided , themselves
on their int 1 "al acumen; that they
have originated numerous systems of
philosophy, and made great pretentions
to logicai accuracy; and that the habit
of the nation generally, for thousands,
of veers, had been to reverence the past,
ana to reflect upon and observe, with
Valuable -invention For The Pres-
ervation Of Life.
A life-lanoy of inglroved-conttrUction
has been satisfactorily experimented
with by the authorities at the Ply-
risOuth (Eng.)Navy Yard, and found to
be Icapable . of sustaining with cape. Eleven
men in the water. This new buoy con-
sists of an air -tight metal casing, with
the central portion open from top to
bottom for the reception of the person
or Valuables to be saved. J The interior
of the casing is divided into two parts
by -a, metal partition, thesupper division
being intended as a reservoir of fresh
water for the use of the person saved
from drowning. Below, the central
open space is fitted. with .a grating, on
which the man stands, while on open
frame work of iron or steel, protect
his legs. from the attacks of sharks, to
which he is exposed when clinging to
the bu�s,with two stationary hollow
tabes or sockets, each containing a
signal -staff for the purpose of indi-
cating the position of the buoy to the
manin the water, and to facilitate its
recovery bythe ship to whiela it belongs.
These signal staffs are telescopic, and
have attached ,to them fuses orport-fires
to serve as signal lights -one being
ignited, by the operations of' letting go,"
while the other is at the service of the
man in the 'buoy to indicate MS position
on a dark night. Coils or other floats
are attached to the iron framework of
the buoy by cords of sufficient length to
go rouretl a man's body, so as to afford
a mes. of support in the water for sev-
eral persons at a time.

SEEING THE SUN AT MIDNIGHT. ---In
.july, 1865, Mr. Ca,mpbell, -United
States Minister to Norway, with a party
'of American gentlemen, went far
el:Lb-ugh north to see the sun et mid-
night It was ' 69 degrees north lati-
tude, and they ascended a cliff 1,000
feet high above the Arctic ea. The
scene 'is thuS described: "It was late,
but etill sunlight. The Arctic Ocean
stretched away in silent waves at our
feet; the sound. of the waves scarcely
reached our any look -out; away in • the
north the huge) eld. sun swung low aleng

The danger of -railway travelling in
England are vividly illustrated by the
fullowing incident which happened on a
line near London young lady got
into a second-class carriage, when she'.
was soon joined by a .gentleman about
tirty years old, whose manner seemed
very strange and excited. They were
alone in the carriage. As Soon as the
train had statted; this Man got up all
of a sudden, and began by throwing
his carpet hag out of the window, Say-
ing :-"This carriage is ranch too'
heavy.. Come, we - must lighten it as
much as possiele." lie then sat down
aeain' but jumped up in a minute af-
ter, screaming out; "It's :too heavy 1

hie coat out of the window to join his
carpet -bag, then a,way• went his '.'. aist-

zat down, 'and appearM to be thinking
•T!rofoenclly. All of a sudden he turned
toward the young girl, who, was as
frightened as possible, and said: "On
your knees, -madam, on your knees! We
will pray for the -Duke of Glciucester !"
Astd he knelt down. The poor .giri
immediately. obeyed him. The stran-
ger then began, praying fervently for
the Duke of dloncester, then for the
Duke of St. Albans, then for the Duke
of York -1 ---In a, word for all the dukes

sat down again. The young lady, more
dead than. aliyo, was in a .corner of the
.caariage a prey to the most profound
terror. Nevertheless, this ;strange per-

to the cowering girl.- But she said to
him, crying : "Oh, sir, dowait for sane

Duke of Northumberland , "You are

IMPORTATIONS
SWEDISH DAY AND NIGHT. -The pe-
culiarities ofelay and night in Sweeden
strike tne traveller very forcibly, after
being aecustomed to the temperate
zones. In June, the sun goes down in
Stockholm a little before ten. o'clook.
There is a great illumination all night
as the sun passes round the earth to-
ward the north pole, and the refraction -
of its -rays is such that you can . see to
read at midnight without any artificial
light There is a mountain at the head
Of Bothia where on the 21st of June
ths sun does not appear to go down at
all the'steara boat goes up from Stock-
holm for the purpose of conveying
those who are curious to witness the
phenomenon, It occurs only one night.
The sun reaches the hmizon, you :can
see the 'whole face'Of.‘ it, and in five
minutes more itbegins to rise. , At
the North Cape,' latitude 72 degrees
the sun...does not go down for several
weeks.. In June it would be about
25 clogrieeS above the, horizon at mid-
njght I, the Winter the • sun dis-
appeai:e and iS not seen for weeks;
then ft .comes and remains for ten , et
fifteen Minutes, after- which it descends,
and finally does not set at all, but makes
almost it circle around the heavens...The
Swedes are verylimiusttious, and 1 bolir
is reckoned a da' s work. Bird and
animals take their accustomed- rest at
the usual hour, whether the sun goes
down or not. e
"THIS world is all a fleeting show,'

you have no objection, I'd like to see the
show a little longeie"-

MESSRS YOUNG It CHAMMERLIN,-S rs, I
feel it a duty I owe to you, as well as to the
public to inform yin' of the most wonderful
cure of Consumption, accomplished in my
person, by the use of the Great Shoshonees
Remedy and -Pills. - I Coughed. a great deal
day. and night, expectorating a great quanti-
ty of_ matter, and had a great pain about my
left lung: I had. cold Chills every day, and
severe mght sweats everynight, and. between
the racking cough and great sweating, I was
almost deprived of sleep; by these miseries
as well as the loss of appetite, I was so re-
duced that I could hardily stand alone. I
was tinder the care of a physician for a
length of time, and finding no relief, I
tried different receipes but all without any
good. effect. Squire ietersan of Bath, re --
commended me.to use the Great Shoshonees
Remedy; procured three bottles at once,
with the Pills, so soon as I commenced USing
it 1 began to get better, and when.' had fin-
ished this complementthe cough, expectora-
tion of matter, pain about the.hmg, chills,
sweating, &c., left me, and by cotinuing
its use I became strong and healthy. It is
now over two months since I quit the'reme-
dy, a-nd there have been no symptoms of the
disease returning, and 1 have been, and. an
now, healthier. and better than ijiave been
for years. 1 trust you will Make f�us knwn
te the public, that they may be aware o( the
peculiar virtues of this truly woriderful
in-
dian Remedy. •
