THE WONDERFUL TAJ.

A. Description of the One Perfectly Beautiful Thing in the World. But this and all the things I have named and all the things I have seen, many of which are of wondrous beauty or of lofty grandeur, and will live in memory while I live —all of these pale and dwindle when brought into comparison with the one perfectly beautiful thing, not of India alone, but of the world. I had read much of this famous structure. I expected much, but had an undefined impression that I was to be disappointed—a vague feeling that my expectations could not be realized. I almost dreaded this when I approached it through the great south gateway, itself a magnificent building of red sandstone, 110 feet square and 140 feet high, pierced by a portal seventy-five feet to the keystone of its pointed arch. The structure is so relieved by inlaid white marble in arabesques, friezes of vines and flowers, and entablatures of quotations from the Koran that it looks light and cheerful. The gateway alone would be a fit mausoleum for a queen. Between this and the tomb is a garden 900 feet square, planted in trees of richest foliage. These so hid the mausoleum that I did not see it until I stood before the great arch portal of the gate. This made a framework showing only the . tomb proper. At first it looked small, for so perfect are its proportions it seemed quite near, and so light and airy as to seem a phantom picture thrown before a blue sky. The picture was so beautiful that I paused for some minutes. A man passed along the pMttform and seemed a mere pigmy, thus showing my eye the distance and causing it to comprehend the perfect proportions of the structure. I soon knew there was to be no disappointment. The “Taj” was even more beautiful than I had anticipated. As I walked forward through the gateway the picture widened until its broad wings and lofty minarets were in full view. As it widened I could almost fancy the dome was lowering. Yew and cypress have made a broad avenue, partially concealing the lower portion of the wings and minarets. In the middle of this avenue was a broad marble walk, with a long pool of pure water confined between marble walls, and a broad fountain bed half-way dcwn. •

I walked slowly along this walk looking at the building before me, dazzling and white in the Indian noonday sun, and still it seemed to be growing lower. But after removing my eyes from it, after passing around the central fountain, this effect disappeared, and as I still approached it grew taller, until standing in front of the great platform on which it is built, I realized the grandeur of the whole. Its whole length from minaret to minaret, and the he'ght to top of dome, all was fully before me. I looked up to the pinnacle nearly 250 feet. I shall not attempt any further description than to say the entire structure is of whiteveined or rather slightly clouded marble, is square, with corners cut off, and is surmounted by one grand dome, with a smaller one at each corner, and four lofty minarets over 130 feet high at the corners of the wings in front, and on each side is a wonderful doorway, sixty odd feet high, being the segment of a Saracenic arched vault. Flanking these doorways are arched window recesses one above another to the level of the arch of the great portal. The whole is inlaid in beautiful figures and arabesques in dark marble, thereby relieving the structure of too glaring appearance. Upon the great dome is a noble vaulted room of polished white marble, the wainscoting beautifully carved in vines and lotus flowers, and above inlaid in costly marbles. • In the center of this vaulted room, immediately under the apex of the dome, is the cenotaph of “Montaz,” called “Taj Mahal,” or “crown of the house. ” It is cut from a great block of snow white alabaster. A part of it is beautifully carved, and the whole made very beautiful by graceful vines and pretty flowers, composed of lapis lazuli, cornelian, blood-stones, jasper, onyx, moss-agates, gold stone, turquoise, and other costly stones, inlaid in tiny bits so as to give the blended hues of the flowers. In one small flower I counted thirty separate pieces. By the side of Montaz is the cenotaph of the Shah Jehan of the same pattern as that of his wife. He built .this wonderful tomb, and buried his wife in it. Afterward he was buried by her side. Around the cenotaph is a guard or fence some six feet high of open lattice work in alabaster, of most delicate workmanship, representing vines and flowers.— Carter H. Harrison's letters from Delhi, India.

The eldest girl was instructing the youngest brothers and sisters. She was not very old herself, but she was ages older than the others. Eleven is about twenty-one more than seven in the ages of children. They had been discussing purely family matters. “Twins is two. You and George are twins,” said the eleven-year-old. “An’ when it’s three ?” “I guess there is triplets. ” “Triplets! Three’s triplets! And when it’s four?” “Tour! Four’s a quadrille.”— San Francisco Chronicle.

A RACY BOOK.

Setatlllatiug with Sarcasm and Brilliant Truth. [New York Letter.] Chap. L “Has Malaria;* goes to Florida. Chap. IL “Overworked goes to Europe. Chap. lIL “Has Rneumatism ;” goes to Ems. Chap. IV. Has a row with his Doctor. I have read a deal of sarcasm in my day, but I never read anything equal to the sarcasm contained in the above four-chaptered book, written by some anonymous. I suspect the experience portrayed is a personal one; the author intimates as much on page 31. Lu me give yon a synopsis: “Malaria,” as it states, “is the cloak with which superficial physicians cover up a multitude of ill feelings which they do not understand, and do not much care to investigate. It is also a cover for such diseases as they cannot cure. When they advise their patient to travel or that he has overworked and needs rest and is probably suffering from malaria, it is a confession of ignorance or of inability. ” “The patient goes abroad. The change is a tonic and for a time he feels better. Comes home. Fickle appetite, frequeut headaches, severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irritability, tired feelings, and general unfitness for business are succeeded in due time by alarming attacks of rheumatism which flits a’bout his body regardless of all human feelings. “It is muscular—in his back. Articular—in his joints. Inflammatory, my! how he fears it will fly to his heart! “Now off he goes to the springs. The doctor sends him there, of*course, to get well; at the same time he does not really want him to die on his hands! That would hurt his business! “Better for a few days. Returns. After a while neuralgia transfixes him. He bloats; cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot walk; cannot sleep on his left side; is fretful; very nervous and irritable; is pale and flabby; has frequent chills and fevers; everything about him seems to go wrong; becomes suspicious; musters up courage, and demands to know what is killing him! “Great heaven!” he cries, “why have you kept me so long in ignorance?” “Because,” said the doctor, “Iread your fate five years ago. I thought best to keep you ignorant of the facts.” He dismisses his doctor, but too late! His fortune has all gone in fees. But him, what becomes of him?

The other day a well-known Wall street banker said to me: “It is really astonishing how prevalent Bright’s disease is becoming. Two of my personal friends are now dying of it But it is not incurable, lam .certain, for my nephew was recently cured when his ] hysicians said recovery was impossible. he case seems to me to be a wonderful one." This gentleman formerly represented his government in a foreign country. He knows, i ppieciates and declares the'value of that ] reparation, because his nephew, who is a eon of Danish Vice Consul Schmidt, was pronounced incurable when the remedy, Warner’s safe cure, was begun. “Yes,” said his father, “I was very skeptical, but since taking that remedy the boy is well ” I happen to know what it was that cured the boy, for Gen. Christiansen, of Drexel, Morgan & Co.’s, told me that it was that “wonderful remedy. Warner’s safe cure. ” Well, I suspect the hero of the book cured hihiself by the same means. I cannot close my notice better than by quoting the author’s advice: “If, my friend, you have such an experience as I have portrayed, do not put your trust in physicians to the exclusion of other remedial agencies. They have no monopoly over disease, and I personally know that many of them would far prefer that their patients should go to Heaven direct from their powerless hands than that they should be saved to earth by the use of any “unauthorized means. ”

Another Cure for Hiccough.

Dr. Dresch, a French physician, says that hiccough may be immediately stopped if the sufferer will “close his external auditory canals with his fingers, exert ng a certain degree of pressure*!—that is, stick his fingers in his ears-l-at the same time that he drinks a few sips pf any liquid, the glass or cup being held to his lips by another person.

Cocoanut Milk.

A woman of fine complexion has admitted that it is due to the milk in the cocoanut. Her formula is this: “Take a fresh cocoanut, grate it, place it in a cloth and squeeze out the milk. Wash the face and hands with the liquid, rubbing a great deal, the more the better, and wipe with a soft cloth. The effect is wonderful and instantaneous.”

The “Pale Faces.”

This is the generic designation of the white race bestowed by our copper-colored brother, the “noble savage." The Caucasian, though many shades lighter, is not necessarily pallid. But when his cuticle has the parchmentcolored tint, and his cheeks the hollowness indicative of a want of bodily stamina, he well deserves the appellation of “pale These facial indications should suggest a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an acknowledged rehabilitator of a failing strength apd renewer of bodily substance. It is derived exclusively irom botanic sources-is pure and efficient, its invigorutinu action is prompt, thorough and speedily felt. Cau the like be said of most tonics? Scarcely.

France Past and Present.

The bittereSt enemies of Napoleon lll.—the Rocheforts, the Hugos, the Gambettas, etc., warned the French people over and over again of the rottenness and venality of his government, but how little did even they dream that that same government rested on so very frail props as the year 1870 demonstrated that it did! It is past seventeen years since the chronic Bonapartist self-ambition has drained French blood and French sinews, and the Republic still lives. In calamity, and under the humiliation of defeat, the French spirit has grown chastened and wonderfully wiser, and what hot-headedness made an impossibility in the eighteenth century, the cooler judgment of the nineteenth century has made a glorious reality. Vive la Republique! — Alexander N. De Mt nil, in the St. Louis Magazine.

Is experienced by almost every one at this season, and many people resort to Hood's Sarsaparilla to drive away the languor and exhaustion.
