A Mnety-ene Days’ Fast. Bombay Gazette. A religious mendicant of the Jain caste is reported to have just completed a ninety-one days’ fast at Pahlanpur. An eye witness describes in a Surat paper the ap pearance of the man on the last day of tiie penance. The “saint,” says the writer, underwent a fast of eiglity-six days last year, and lias been more or less accustomed to this form of infliction. When seen on tiie umety-first day ofthe recent fast his veins were much swollen, and he seemed to speak only with great effort. He was seated on a blanket in a cor ner and had near him the sour wa ter and curdled milk, which he sometimes drank. He seemed, however, to be capable of physical exertion, and up to the last day procured the curdled milk-water for himself. He was all along en grossed in prayer and held no com munication with other men, except on religious tc pics. The man has spent his life in strict asceticism, and Iub denied himself all food and luxury save what may be got from the milk-water bread, nnn yellow rice. His bedding consists of an ordinary blnnketand nothing more. Many Jains undergo penance in the sliapc of fn-*ts and other sclf- infiiotions, but it is said that this man’s efforts in this direction are unapproacbcd by even Ids most devoted co-roligionists, and he lias drawn to himself a largo following of Siirnwaks. Ho accepts, howev er, no presents and no fees. The Needs ofthe South. Waver oai He j hi r Ur. The two great wnnts ofthe South to-day nrc cheap money and uni versal education. It Is necessary now to pay from 8 to 15 per cent, and they are hard to obtain even at those rates. It is simply im possible to borrow money on real estate even when there arc im provements on it. There are no savings banks; tiie national banks cannot loan on real estate, and loanable capital in private hands is extremely scarce. When money can be had there at fnir rates of in terest, with real estate security, there is still to be a more powerful impulse to industrial activity. But no less important than cheap mon ey is popular education, not sim ply of the schools, but through newspapers and books, through business experience and contact witli the outside world. The South is still too solid, stands too much by herself. She needs to be stirred up within herself and with the rest of tho world to learn tho lossons of thrift, of industry and of tolerance. Tiie change from the old life to the new has been nobly begun and the sky is bright with the promise or a glorious future. The Dublin Gazette thus tell* of a wonderful "king pepper bush” in that neighborhood: “There is growing at Mrs. Daniel Fisher’s, about three miles from Dublin, the king cf pepper bushes. Tho tree, for Buell you may torm it, is of enormous size. It 1ms attained the legal age of majority, which gives it, beside its productive qual ities, the title by which wo call it. During tho present year it has. bloomed and fruited, and from it there have been seven thousand pods gathered fully matured, and it is impossible to tell how much more there may he yet to add to the almost incredible amount. The bush or tree bos been preserved through twenty-three winters, nml never ceases bearing.” Among tiie remarkable novelties of recent discovery is the boot- I,lacking plant, a native of New Soutli Wules. The leaves of thiB shrub contain a tough substance gifted with all the properties and attributes of tiie finest boot polish. Squeeze them gently and they will yield some thick, dusky drops of sticky fluid, which must then be spread over the surfaco ofthe boot. This done, a polish of dazzling brilliancy muy Iks brought out by n Tew touches of tho finishing brush. Senator Hill tells a correspond ent of the Telegraph and Ifeuen- ger in Washington that Mahone ami his cohorts will soon hear from him in the Senate. He 1ms placed Mahone where ho wanted him In tiie Republican ranks, and now Mr. Hill can turn loose on him to his bean's content. I f Guitcau is found guilty of mur der, Judge Cox will have the au thority under the revised statutes of the District or Columbia, to di rect that his body, after hanging until he is dead; shall be delivered to a surgeon for dissection.
