ORIGINA’IION 0F THUGGEE.
The origin of Thuggee is lost in
fable and obscurity. The Thugs them-
selves refer it to the remotest antiquity.“
and whether Hindu or Mohammedan,
claimto descend from seven Moham-
medan clans, which are admith to be
the most ancient and original stock on
which all the others have been en- '
grafted, and the principal of which has
given its own name as the generic
designation at once of the system and
. the persons who follow it. Colonel
Sleemau conjectures that Thuggee
owed its existence to the vagrant tribes
of Mohammedans who continued to
plunder the country long after the In.
vasion of India by the Moghiils and
Tartars, and probability thus. attaches
to the suspicion that the Mohammedans
were indeed the first to .give a sort of
political system to the Thugs, and the
seven clans of Ismailia, whose occupa-
tion was murder as dreadful as that of
the Thugs, nay, when perscnted 1n the
‘ days of their political existence.
have joined themselves to the Hindu
Phansigars, and adopting their ritual,
have given rise to what it is a comfort
to regard as a system as obsolete at the
present day as it always was accursed.
The Hindus claim for Thuggee a divine
origin in their goddess Bhawani, who,
under her name and character of Kali.
was the deity worshipped by the Thugs
in their professional capacity.
LABOR SONGS AND cums.
Nothing seems to have been more
common to the human race. in modern
times. among civilized people as among _
savagepeople, than the practice of ac-
companying the action of labor by a
cryor a song. Our own sailors' “Yo.
heave he!" and the paviors’ “Hoh l"
willoccuratonoetothemindofBritish
readers. Their stirring tones. by their
effect on ordinary bystanders. give
some indication of the [power they ex-
ercise upon the minds of the laborers.
The rhymthm and tune of the songs
aid regular action, and keep time dur-
ingasucoession of labor efforts. The
senseof life and power that makesa
child shout, or the bird sing, and' is the
ultimate motive of human speech,
causesus to best time by the help of
rhythmical utterances And though the
utterances be but a monotonous sing
song, it becomes a symbol and sign of
the action it accompanies to all those
who have taken part in it, and in course
of time may pass into a word. How
many of the roots of languages were
formed in this way it isimpomibleto
say, but when we consider that there is
no modern word which we canderive
from such cries as the sailor makes
when he hauls a rope, or the groom
when he cleans a home, it does not
seem likely that they can have been
verynumerous.

Hermann, the conjuror, is a‘practical
joker, and likes to play tricks on
people, and being very skilful with his
Roger's he succeeds in astonishing a
good many. But he was astonished
himself not long sincein South America.
The “Pall Mall Gazette” relates that
during a performance at the house of
the governor of Montevideo he under-
took to mystify three half-savage Pata-
gonians who were present. He stupe-
fied the first by taking an orange from
his nose; he astonished the second by
taking a series of plasters from his hair; K
but the third seemed overpowered
with terror as he extracted from his
nose a living rat.»Utte1-ing acry of
fright the Patagonian withdrew. and
the company congratulated Hermann
on his success. While receiving their
congratulations, he suddenly discovered
that his watch and chain had gone. and
his purse, eyeglass and pocket hand-
kerchief. Half an hour afterward the
chief of the .Patagonians returned,
bringing the missing articles. The
savage from whose nose - Hermann had
extracted the rat had emptied the con-
juror's pockets at the moment when he
was pretending to be overcome with
terror at the unexpected apparition of
the rat from the tip of his nose.
Win PEOPLE WEBE‘BURIED.
When men began to bury their dead
they did so in the firm belief in another
life, which life was regarded as the
exact counterpart of this present one.
The unsophisticated savage. holding
that in that equal sky his faithful dog
would hear him company. naturally
enough had the dog in question killed
and buried with him. in order that it
might follow him to the happy hunting '
ground Clearly. you can't hunt with-
out your arrows and tomahawk; so the
flint weapons and the trusty bow ac-
companied their owner in his new
dwelling-place. The wooden shaft, the
deer sinew bowstring, the perishable
articles of food and drink, have long
since decayed within the damp tnmulus;
but the harder stone and earthenware
articles have survived till now, to tell
the story of that crude and simple early
faith. Very crude and illogical, indeed,
it was, however, for it is quite clear
that the actual body of the dead man
was thought of as persisting to live a
sort of underground life within the bar-
row. A stone but was constructed for
its use, real weapons and impliments
were left by its side, and slaves and
wives were ruthlessly massacred, as
still in Ashantee, in order that their
bodies might accompany the oorpse‘of
the buried master in his subterranean
dwelling. In all this we have clear
evidence of a very inconsistent, savage.
materialistic belief, not indeed in the
immortality of the soul, but in the con-
tinued underground life of the dead
body.

I'IIE INDE'I'BUCTIBILITY OF GOLD.
Gold may be said to be everlasting,
indestructible. The pure acids have
no effect upon it. Air and water are
alike prohibited from working its de-
struction; while tobaser metals they
are decay, to gold they are innocuous.
Bury it through long ages, and when
the rude tool of the excavat9r again
brings it to light, while everything
around it has returned to dust from
which it sprang; while the delicate form
which it adorned has become a powder
so impalpable as to be inappreciable;
while the strong bone of the mighty
warrior crumbles as you gaze upon it;
while the trusty sword liesa mass of
shale rust, the delicate tracery in gold
which adorned it, or the finely-wrought
tiarfi which encircled the lofty brow of
the fair damsel, is there in its pristine
beauty, perfect as when it left the work-
man’s hands and became the joy of her
fleeting moments. Yes, days. years,
centuries have rolled by; mighty em-
pires hate risen and fallen;dynasties
that dreamed their power to be ever- .
lasting have passed away, armies have
marched. conquered and become nerve-
less with decrepit old age; cities teeming
with population and commerce have
become the dwelling-place of the owl
and the bat ; the very pyramids them-
selves, raised in the pride of power and
destined to be forever, have. crumbled
and are crumbling, and yet the thin
filament of gold has stood unchanged.
W
Formerly the nobles of England
prided themselves on having a rookery
in the neighborhood of their castles.
because rocks were regarded as "fowl:
of good omen." ‘ On this account no
one was allowed to kill them under
severe penalties. When rocks deserted
a rookery it was said to precede the
downfall of a family upon whose pro-
. party it was
A PABISIAN SALON.
Madame Mohl's_ saloon stood out in
strong relief, with a character entirely
its own. It was a permanent protest
against the spirit and tendency of the
day; against Opretension. purse-pride,
and vulgarity' in every form. While it
was being loudly proclaimed by high
and low that luxury had rendered quiet
- sociability impossible. that the pleasures
of conversation were a thing of the
past. unless you could “entertain"in
the modern sense ofthe word. scene
would come to you. this old woman
without rank or fortune, living in high-'
perched. shabbily-furnlshed rooms. with-
out suppers or chandeliers, enjoyed a
position unrivalled In its way, and con-
trived to attract toher houseall that
washest worth havinginPai-is. By the
sole magnet of her esprit she drew'
around her the'most remarkable per-
sonalities. not only of France, but of
the world. Celebrities from every capi-
tal in Europe gave one another, render-
yous at Madame Mohl’s Friday even-
mgs and Wednesday afternoons. And
strangers, who. hearing of this salon.
had been at pains toget an intro'duec.
tion there, and sometimes taken by
surprise when they entered it for the
first time. They found ,a few quiet
people, chiefly gentlemen. and most of
them elderly, "making conversation"
by the light of a couple of lamps. which
modest illumination was dimmed by
green shades for M. Mohl's eyes. The
one luxury of the room was a great
many very comfortable armohairs of all
shapes and sizes. It was a notion of
Madame Mohl's that people could not
talktheir best unless they werecom-
fortably seated. “I like my friends to
be sung when they are talking,” she
would explain, if she noticed a curious
glance wandering over the
gathering of fimfcm’lc. ‘ ‘ ‘ Her 'oon-
temporary Madame Swetchine. had
some good talk in her drawing-room.
and only discovered a few days before
her death that she had made her friends
"do penance," as she sweetly said in
apologizing for it, on hard chairs for
thirty yeais.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
Alexander Hamilton, when Secretary
of the Treasury, had an indiscreet flirt-
ation with the wife of one of' his clerks,
who successfully blackmailed him. His
political opponents heard of it and
started a rumor that he was speculating
in stocks through the clerk.
When this came to Hahiilton's care.
he published an amount ofthe whole
transaction in a pamphlet. admitting
that he had been the dupe Of a design-
ing woman and her rascall'y husband,
but denying that, while Secretary of the
Tleasury, he had speculated in stocks,
basing his operations on his inside
knowledge of government finances. In
an appendix he published the letters of
his fair friend, leaving uncorrected her
queer blunders'in spelling; as. for ex-
ample, when she wrote that she hoped
soon "to see her dear Col. harmilton,
she is alone, and begs he will rite to
her whoa greatest fault Is Lovin'him.'
and clear up her doubts."
The publication of this pamphlet
gave Mrs. Hamilton great sorrow. and
when she came to Washington to live in
her old age. she had purchased a con-
siderable portion of the edition from
second-hand book-sellers. paying them
-a dollar for each copy. All at once she
began to receive a dozen or even more
every week, and it leaked out that a'
New York book-manger had caused the
reprinting of the pamphlet, thus receiv-
ing a dollar for what had cost him eight
or ten cents. There is a copy of the
on'ginal pamphlet in the Congression-
al Library at Washington.
REMINISCENCE on GEN. GRANT.
Gen. Grant 'went to Richmond in May.
1867, to visit the battle-field of Cold
Harbor. He rode out from the city on
Sunday morning in a four-horse car-
riage. and passed several hours in visit-
ing the scene of one of the most sanguin-
ary and stubborn battles of the war.
The battle lasted during three days.
after which Gen. Grant changed his
base'to James River. The appearance
of the battle-field when he revisited it
was but little changed. Rows of earth-
work on either side still remained.
There was no part of the ground under
cultivation. the soil being very poor.
but many small trees had sprung up.
That portion of the field known as the
front of the centre lines where the con-
test‘raged hottest. showed the unmis-
takable marks of a fight. Many of the
trees were thoroughly pitwd with mus-
ket and rifle balls, while others of them
were shattered and bent over to the
ground by the combined firing of the
massed artillery on either side. Gen.
Grant was unable to find the exact loca-
tion of his headquarters upon the Cold
Harbor battlefield. but the positions
held by Gene. Hancock, Baldy Smith.
Wright and Gibbons were pointed out.
The bodies of 1960 Federal soldiers,
hastily buried after the battle was over, ,.
had been disinterred and buried ina
Government cemetery on the White
House read. Pieces of clothing. parts
of shoes and equipments could be dis-
tinguished here and there amid the dirt
a111lgravel. The whole scene was one
of desolation.

BINDING 01" HUMAN SKIN.
Following the example of Mr. Joseph
Zaehnsdorf, who lately bound two Elze-
vir editions in human skin, another
London binder hasexecuted an order
to encase a copy of Hans Holbein's
“Dance of Death " in the same ghastly
integument, certainly a very appropri-
ate oovering’ for this work. These are
not the only instances, however, in
which the casing of the “human form
divine"has been utilized. ‘In the lib-
rary .at Mexborough house. near Meth-
ley, Yorkshire, there was formerly. two
books, Sir John Cheek‘s “ Hurt ofSedi-
tion ” and Braithwait's, “Arcfiiah Prin-
cess," both bound,i_n the prepared skin
of Mary Bateman, “the Yorkshire
witch," who was executed early in the
beginning of this century for murder.
but these were among these which dis-
appeared during the cataloguing of the
library for sale, when one of the former
earls of Mexborough was in difiiculties.
Yet another instance. . When the writer
waslastin Parishewas shownasmall
book by adealer, who solemnly avowed
it was bound ina portion of the skin of
the notorious Louvet de Cduvray, and
which he valued at 1,000 francs, and
for authentication of which he produced
a long pedigree.

run CHINESE an ruins-mom
The “ water angel plant," as the name
is being interpreted, is thus called be-
cause of its manner of growth. its ap-
pearance, and its miraculous origin. In
China it is found growing in running
water, which keeps the bulb and the
pebbles towhioh it attaches itself by
its roots perfectly clean. A bowl is
filled with clean pebbles, the bulb is
placed upon them. and the dish is filled
with pure water. This last must be
changed every morning, asit isabsolut'e-
ties. The bulbs are thus planted about
four weeks: before the Chinese New
Year and given fresh air and sunlight.
Soon a multitude of white rootlets ap-
pear beneath the'bulb, and find their
way down around and among. the peb-
bles. while a crown of lily-like green
leaves shoots from the top. One can
almost see these grow. they. stretch up
so fast, and then come the buds on the
, stem, and in a little, almost transpar-
ent sheath at first, which opens finally
and displays a cluster of blossoms some-
thing like the narcissus inshape and
size. but pure waxy white with a crown
of. gold, and very fragrant. This
event should occur at » New Year's and
than. John is happy. He stands near
the plant and watches it with loving
eyes; he shows it to his acquaintances
and receives their congratulations, and
often he cuts off the “ho-ee-far," or
