Nothing could be more impressive than the explanation of the tele-: graph cmpanies of their increase in j rates on ten-word messages of from twenty to thirty cents each. It appears it is not really a raise. Presiden Clowry of the Western Union, says “it’s simply a readjustment of rates.” The difference between a readjustment and a raise will be diffi-I cult for the customers of the telegraph companies to understand.

Thomas Covalt and Howard Burdg, two well known young men of this city, had a little scrap Thursday evening in front of Burns’ harness shop, that resulted in Burdg getting a good “licking” and Covalt being arrested.

HINDOO HEAVENS. Four Degrees of Bliss to Which the Departed Spirits Pass. The Hindoos believe in four special abodes of the righteous after death. The first is c’.l'el Sara-lcga, “God’s world;” the second, Sameela, “Near to God;” the third, Sarobam, “God’s image,” and the fourth, Sayutcheyam, which signifies “to be absorbed in him.” To Sara-loga, the first degree of bliss, go the souls of all of those who have ever made a pilgrimage to a holy place or who have paid for the temple lights for one month. In Sara-loga there is great happiness and no work or sickness. The Inmate is allowed to read the five sacred books, drink ambrosia and hear the houris sing. To Sameeba go the spirits of all Keerikarar, or workers in the Brahman cause; also those who forego the comforts of life, such as sleeping in a recumbent position, eating sufficiently, etc. Their happiness consists chiefly of continually praising God. To Sarobam, the third heaven, go the souls of such as never spoil God’s model by shaving or paring the nails. These are the Brahman Yogis. They wander about the earth, always going from left to right. They eat nothing but nauseous food and live in a constant state of abstraction on divine subjects. The fourth heaven, Sayutcheyam, is the coming abode of the “nyane,” or philosophers. These nyane pay no attention to heat or cold, never bathe and often go for weeks without food. If they are sick, no one knows it but themselves. They are the stoics of the world of today and believe that in Sayutcheyam they will eventually be absorbed in the deity. Brasses and Bronzes of the Hindoos. The brass and bronze trade is kept alive by the religious customs of the Hindoos, who are not allowed to use wooden and earthenware vessels freely, and brass and bronze are to them as Important as glass and china to the westerners. Almost all Hindoo utensils are of brass, copper or bronze, and it is the custom to present the female portion of a Hindoo family with a valuable batterie de cuisine, made either of brass or copper, and a still existing Hindoo ceremony is that of carrying the utensils in a procession at the wedding. The result of this custom is that almost all the platters, trays, bowls, nutcrackers and all brass and copper utensils are most beautifully ornamented, and there are lovely combinations of brass and copper and silver and copper. All Hindoo women used to have lorely brass caskets covered with ornamentations called chellams, manufactured in Malabar, in which they kept their jewels, but these are fast being replaced by the vulgar English japanned dispatch box. The Duke’s Breeches. Mrs. Loudon was an accomplished lady, who wrote not only on floriculture, but on arboriculture and landscape gardening, and illustrated what she wrote. In one of her works she desired to insert a sketch of the “Waterloo Beeches” at Strathfieldsaye, a picturesque clump planted to commemorate our deliverance from the Corsican tyrant. Accordingly she wrote to the Duke of Wellington requesting leave to sketch the beeches and signed herself in her usual form, ‘J. Loudon.’ The duke, who, in spite of extreme age and with perceptions not quite so clear as they had once been, insisted on doing all his own correspondence, replied as follows: F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to the bishop of London. The bishop is quite at liberty to make a sketch of the breeches which the duke wore at Waterloo if they can be found, but the duke is not aware that they differed in eny way from the breeches which he generally wears. _G. W. E. Russell In Manchester Guardian. Long Legged Birds. Long legged birds have tails so short that they seem to be out of proportion to their bodies. But there Is a reason for the short tails. Birds, while flying, and often while walking, use their tails for steerage purposes. When birds with long legs take to flight, they throw their legs behind in a manner that causes them to serve the same purpose as a tail. He Couldn’t Object Clerk—You can’t get a room here for that man. He's drunk. Man (supporting a weary friend) —That’s all right. What of that? C’erk—This Is a temperance hotel. Man —Well, he’s too drunk to know the difference.—Army and Navy Life.
