Tho Summer Climalo of India. A missionary's wifu writes froth India.: I ronmmlHT woing a fmuiHtle limiii bv (Jtlstave Dore, roim'Si'iitimj Toplut. 'i lie liiv burst from tin? mouth of huge caverns, ami evwy tiling Imd a molten ami red hot appearance, India at present is cry much in this condition. The hot winds blow uninterruptedly from four to tsujlit hours daily :s front a fiery furnace, Tho lioreery blazing sun wjorcliw and bunts every tiling in tlitv most uncompromising inunmr, Tho earth lui.-s tut oveny appearance, ami is eraeked open in largo lUsuros with the intense hen, ami scorches tho feet even through tliiek-.-olcd boot. The miserable tree look unhappy and hung their poor wilted lyallets. There, is not a spear of grass visible. Polks outdoor drag their weary lengths along; i though eaeji were dragging; a ball and chain. Tlioy wem to liavu no ambition on earth but to drop down ami die iiietly in itue .sluulv nook. Tho roiul-s are some inches tfeep in dust ami the air is tilled with it, so that breathing U diflieult nntl painful. There nroiio vegetables nor any fruits. Wells and tanks and cisterns arolow,undtlu! water muddy and unhealthy, indoors tlte furniture burns the body through the clothing. The sun glares into ever crack and crevice so iicrsistently that blinds and shades, and thick curtains can hardly darken u. room suUk'icntly. livery outside door is closed tightly from early morning until after sundown to keep out the heat. Tlie air becomes stagnant and'suffocating. A little relief is obtainable from, the punkah, a huge fan suspended from tin; ceiling, and worked by a servant from the outside. Tlie man whose business it is to keen it swinging .sometimes falls asleep, anil then the air seems to pres-s upon one at the rate of a thousand pouud-s to the square inch, breathing is next to impossible. At night there is still less comfort to be had. The bed is hotter than the body. We sprinkle tho bed first and then jump in, but it is dry and hot again in less than no time. V sprinkle the Hour ami furniture and do e clothing imagio'ible to cool the sleeping room, but all uselessly. It is like trying to sleep in a well-heated oven. Although we may long to renounce the flesh and .-it in our fames, still we know that both tlesh and clothes arc absolutely necessary to protect tlie Inwly from tlie hot air How suiHulatively happy must those be who live iuaeolddimate! What would! not give for a breath of cool air from the Adirondack, or for a plunge into the surf at Newport, or for a walk on the strand, or even a distant glimpse of the sea? ' ' Alfonso's Summer Fa laic. La Grauja is a royal summer residence of the .Spanish family up in the fluadarama Mountains, :t,SijO feet above the level of the sea, 1,170 feet above the altitude of Madrid, and higher by thirty feet than the top of Vesuvius. It was bought from the monks of Kl Parral of Segovia, who owned the lands for scores of miles around, and had here their (range, by Philip V., tlie bourbon Prince, who undertook to perpetuate theHapsburg dynasty in Spain as heir of his grandmother, "Maria Theresa, wife of the Crahd Monariue," and by tho will and testament of Charles IT. the last male of the Austrian line. Philip V. built hero a palace and laid out gardens in imitation of Versailles, employing his time from 1711 to 1740 with Pitch disregard of tlie cost that the gardens: alonecaused an otttlav of forty-millions of piastre-' ($M,rtHI,00rt,) In return for this enormous expense the King had. as he was heard to say, " his quarter of an hour's amusement," and the satisfaction of boasting a royal habitation higher up in the air and nearer heaven than any other sovereign inKurope, Tlie attraction for those who are not of royal blood and who own neither house nor land iu thi? place lies in the fact that while in Madrid the heat is at eighty-three degrees in the shade, it attains only OS degrees at La Granju. Empress Eugenie is trying tojind consolation in compiling a memoir of her dead son.
