There will be no lack of money for any estimate, as the priests an-very wealthy, and the annual income of the temple is said to amount to CM). The question which Is agitating all priests is what is to be done with the idols while the repairs are being made. The officers of the temple arc most anxious to have the idols restored to their thrones. They propose that an inner ceiling of wood shall be made to protect the idols and the worshippers; but there would be so much dangershould there be another fall of stones that the BaiftU will re ' consent. ... . A Member of the Paijs Academy oh Sciences, M. Champouillon aeserts that the dead bodies of victims of al coholism decompose much more ra pidly than do those that in life were not so effected. He observed this in Paris after the city wa,s taken by the Prussians. The bodies of drunken Communists and of soldiers of the government were in many places ly ing side by side, and it was invariable the case that the former were in a far more advanced state of decomposition than the latter. M. Champouillon concludes that alcoholism produces in tdfi aj tern a sort of morbid adynarny or weukii'.'H.-*, n sembdug that of putrid fevers, and which favors rapid* post mortain decay. —k - * ♦ HP “John Henry,” said his wife, with strong seventy, “I saw you coming out of a saloon this afternoon.” “Well, Madame,” replied the ob durate John, “you wouldn’t have me stay in there, would you?” A New Yorker carried a strange hairpin home in bis overcoat pocket, and when his wife found it and began to cry, he made everything plain by telling her that he had been anlund some machinery. A DISGUSTED MAW. “Bein' I’m here,” ho said to a po liceman near the post office—“bein’ I’m here, and bein’ t may nevor ooine h -re agin, and bein’ I want to 000 ail I kin, I’d like to know if it would pav a follow to go to the Knavery Yard'”’ “ You mean the Navy Yard,” re marked the officer. •‘Yes; I suppose t’s the Navy Yard. Is there muck there to see?’, “Yes, a good deal.” *‘I)o yon 'snose they’ll hang any one there to- dfty?” “The Navy Yard Is not a plane where they hang folks,” laughed tue officer. i “8o! I thought It was. Woll, what’s the performance, anyhow.” “There Is no performance of any sort.” “There hain’t? Don’t uny one walk the rope?” “No.” “Nor perform any back sotner sprlngs?” “No.” “Well, it must boa dum queer kna vey yard I” exclaimed die stranger. “Perhaps they’ve gpiT a grizzly b’ar over there?” J “Never heard of ouo,” ropllod the officer. “Does a balloon go up i ” “Ouess not.” “Well, wliat in thunder do they do?” demanded the irritated man. “What docs a feller go over there for?" “Don’t you know what a navy yard is?” asked tho officer. “Yes, I know what a ltnavey yard is as well as you do. I’ve seen thousands of ’em, and 1 expect to see thousands more. I don’t care two conts about seeing this one, though if they are going to play the ‘Black,’ Crook or have any fun, i’ll take tt look in.” “This Navy Yard,” said the officer, “is a place where they build and re pair government ships, store cannons, supplies, &e. “It is, eii!” slowly inquired the stranger. “Well, it must he a one horerfiffur. I don’t suppose I oould even get any beer over tln/ol” “I guess not?” “Well, I won’t go,” sah'l the stran ger, in.a determined voice. "I ga. .s I’ll knoiMt around and See if I can’t run across a good dog light.” A STRAWnKR’S SU(HIESTHf. One day recently, during t.he balmy weather, a stranger, who had that irn .rnlacr arrived iff New York, was down looking at the East River bridge when he was approached by an old be gar wilb a broken nose aud a bad limp. “For God’s sake, give mesomething to buy bread with 1” wailed the beg gar, as ho caught sight cf the strange’s genial face. In response to his appeal, a shin plaster of the, denomination of twenty five cents was handed over, and the stranger turned to tbe piers again. for success astonished the BSfep-.r, and in live minutes he returned aud said; — “Stranger will you give me money to buy medicine for my dying child?” “Why, didn’t I two shil lings only a few minutes ago?” asked the slght-seer, recognizing the broken nose and plaintive whine. “No, it must have been some other poor man 1” was the reply. Two nickels were handed over, and the beggar returned thanks and dis appeared. The stranger was just turning away from the piers when a hand was laid on his arm and a voice asked "Mister, for God’s sake, give me a little money to buy a crust for my children, who haven’t had a mouth ful for throe days!” “Hoe, here, I gave you money only aminuto ago!” totoimed tho stran- Kcr “Ah! sir.lt must have been some other poor man, sir, and God bles3 you, sir!” A sliinplastor was handed over af ter some hesitation and the beggar shed tears and went his way. The stranger had not reached the Fulton Market when the old man accosted him for the fourth time, saying;— “Lord keep you forever, and won’t you give me ten cents to help bury my wife, who has been dead ia the house two days?” “Seg here, old man, you oan’t. fool me agfj,inl” replied the stranger. I’ve given you mouey three time al ready.” “Ah! sir,you are mistaken, sir.” “Rut it was a man with a broken nose, a lame leg and a voice jijst like yours.” “It might be so. There’s forty others just like me in New York I” After a long look of amazement the stranger laid his hand on the old beg gar’s arm and said ; “Well, I can’t contribute over six shillings more unless I jump my hotel bill. Suppose you broken-nozed men haul off and let a few of the deaf and blind and insane have a chance at rue!” And,the beggar did. The silver men seem to be satisfied. MOSLEM MAHIUAGfcS. Brokers generally arrange these marriages, though there are some love matches lu which the parties be come attached to each other without ; the intervention of n third party. When a man has reached the marrying \ age, he is expected to enter the matri- 1 mouiol ranks, unless prevented by i poverty or some other impediment, and it is con lercil improper and even dishonorable for him to refrain from so doing.*.lf a iharrUgeable youth has a mother, she describes him to the i girls of her acquaintance, anil enables I him to decide- whom to tako to his house and home. Frequently he en- I gages tho services of a woman mar- | riage broker, who has access to har- J ems where there are marriageable wo- | men, and Is employed by then* quite I as often as by tito men. She receives fees from one party, and frequently fromboth. In her visits-to tho harems she is ac companied by t.lio mother or other feminine relatives of tho young man; she introduces them ns ordinary visi tors, but gives a sly hiut, as t.o the ob ject of their call. If they do not like the appearance of tho maiden, they plead many calls to make, and cut short their stay; but if satisfied, they come to business at. once, and ask how much property, personal or otherwise, the young lady possesses. When these facts are ascertained they depart, with the intimation that they muy call again. If the young man is satisfied with th£ report of the broker he semis her again to tlio harefn to state his own prospects in life, and, if she looks favorably on his suit, the match is made. .Everything is arranged by deputy, and tbe Mohammedan lover does not see the face of Lis mistress unjM she is his wife. PENDLETON ON PLYMOUTH KOOK. At the Now England Society’s Din ner in Charleston, S. 0., recently, Hon. George II Pendleton said that he had always admired the sturdy virtues of tho Pilgrims, and ho thought that not the least of those virtues fidel ity witli which they observed their fes tive occasions. He t old them of his first visit to .Plymouth Rock. He had al ways fancied that it was in a ro'ck bound and inhospitable portion of a bleak and barren coast. Rut when he first behold the famous rock he was diaiipjioiut. il; lie found it but a mod erate sized bovlder in the middle of the quiet liitbi town of Plymouth. Then had ho learned, for the first time that it was called Plymouth Rock, only because ’ here wus no other rock in the neighborhood. On his way to Boston lie hail wondered ut its fame, and had come to tho conclusion that it was owing to the fact that all the poets, statesmen, and historians of New England had combined their ef forts to make the word the embodi ment of all that rendered tiieir people great. And so it was that foit7-ll'*hs of the American people mad conic to regard Plymouth IP ek as something beside which the y me •Mountain of Georgia and the C disadca of the Hud son were lucre pchbles. A movement is on foot for the intro duction of wheat iqlo Japan and the substitution of iklor rice as the prin cipal artjric of fbbd in that country. A Letpsic journal gives favorable notice of anew manufacture, recently exhibited in that city, consisting of hollow iron cylinders filled internally with a stony nias3, for which greater strength is claimed than that pos sessed by unfilled columns with walls of the same thickness—the idea being that, lor telegraph poles, buildings, and a variety of other purposes', the advantage of the arrangement is quite decided. The construction is, of oourse, very simple in this case, the columns being made by rolling a pile of puddled bars, filled with a peculiar sandy mixture, at a heat at which the sandy mass will sufficiently fuse and unite with the iron walls to Insure the requisite weight, solidity, and strength. A V.ESTEHjf CUSTOM. Pun Burin, of Virginia City, paid a vi-it (.. Promontory, on the Central Pacific Rail roAd, and was charmed with the Diauner tnd customs, almost patriarchal in their ;mnk simplicity, of the people. He stopped at the principal hotel oi the town. It was a nine place, and the landlord wa a very agreeable and friendly sort of a man. Says Dan . "When dinner was ready the landlord came out into the street iu front of his hou* with a double, barreled shot-gun. the gun above ills head he h.irel. ‘ I sold to him, ‘ Wliat “Said he, ‘to ca “I said, ‘Wha •inks?’ i*ct NUMBER 11. THE TRADE IN KDIIiLE tUKDB-NESTS China is fho only cons; Inrnble rn.-ipn and of ciiihl* bil ls', iioets; the few.cases which arc brought ro a cmieaily to ivcopn and America arn lisnUy worth mention. The greatest trade in blrds’-nnsts is dons wilh , Canton, the antiio impart thorn being reck oned at 1,200 piculs, or 188.000 pound# V7o may reckon on Afly nests to flic, pound, so that nUost-ether tt,<oo,ooo nsatf, or, from ttp’oo piiicMngi, the product* of 2.8^0,(J00 pairs of birds, arc annually introduced ln!o China. There arc, principally, two kinds of rests distinguished in Canton 1 i.s mandarin U'-ata, and the ordinary; tho former, or per fectly Wi.iie hind, are sold nt £!> t l>oo to $4,- 000 per pictii, which ie double^ their weight in silver. Each pound thus coats in China ■ s‘io to S3O, a quite exorbitant price, com- I pared with that which the salnugan pluck [ era themselvefi receive for their dangeroui work, and which ia at tho moat only ton to twelve per cent, of tWmarket value. Tho second quality of nests are sold at $1,600 to $2,800. There is a small trade done In j the kind of nest built by the so-called aea weed-eating; salangan, referred to above; ! those are sold at SLOO the picul. Tue nest* are dissolved in wajev or broth, and so taken as soup. It is highly spiced with minor substances. This forma an entree which is rarely wanting* on the tables of ths wealthy Chinese, and never from that of the imperial court t P*hfn. The Chines* set a high value upon it, considering it on* of the beet stimulants; but for this opinion there appears to be little or no gTOundL The moat recent analysis of the nest* wo owe to Prof. Troschel, of Bonn. He find* that the material does not consist of sp** cially nourishing- or stimulating substances, j but ic quits similar m constitution to any animal saliva. Thus the Chinese pay dear { ly for what really has no intrinsic value.— | Chamber's Jcumcd. . GUESS. All American English is not mere slang, or an accumulation of newly-coined word*. There are many words current in America which seem strange and uncouth to our ears, bnt still are- old English words,‘pre served in the United States, but obsolete in the old country, and found only in writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, or m our provincial dialects. “I guess’* looks very like a genuine Americanism, yet Chaucer and Spencer use it with only **> very slight difference of meaning: llr.r jrcllew heir was braided tn a tr*M Behind her back, * yard ion g, I yuee*, says Chaueor; and Amylta win be loyed a* r mot* yheaae.
