A Gigantic Temple.

The walls are twenty-five feet high, and for or five feet thick, and in the center of each wall rises a lofty tower. Entering the first square yon come to another, with a wall as high and four more towers. Within that square there is another, and within that again another—and you will find seven squares, one within another, crowded by thousands of Brahmins. The ,-great hall for pilgrims is supported by 1,000 pillars, each cut out a single block of stone. Gen. . Gallifet is the most popular military personage in France. He commanded a battalion of the Versailles army during the Commune, and it la said to be owing to his energy that the insurrection waa put down.
