Anson Burlingame) concedod to this Com pany the privilege of connecting the great sea ports of the Empire by-submarine electric tele graph cable, wo propose commencing operations In China, and laying down aline of nine bundled miles at once, between the following ports, viz: Canton Macon Houg-K-ong.. Swatow Amoy Foo-Chow Wau-Chu Nlugpo Hang Cheap. Shanghai...*... Total 5,010,000 These ports have a foreign commerce of $OOO.- 000,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside which wo have the Immense internal commerce of the Empire, radiating from these points, through It-* canals and navigable rivers. The cable being laid, this Company proposes erecting laud Hues, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means of communication, which must command there, as everywhere else, the' communications of the Government, of busi ness, and of social life, especially In Chinn. She has no postal system, and her only means now of communicating information la by couriers on land, and by steamers on water. The Western World knows that Chiba is a very largo country, In the mam deusiy peopled; but few yet realize that she contains more than a third of the human race. The latest returns made to her central authorities for taxing pur poses by tbo local magistrates make her popula tion Four Hundred and Fourteen Millions, and this Is more likely to be under than over the actual aggregate. Nearly all of these, who ore over ten years old, not only can but do read and write.— Her civilization Is peculiar, but her literature is ns extensive as that of Europe. China Is a land of teachers and traders: and the latter are ex ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every proffered facility for procuring early informa tion. It Is observed In California that tbo Chi nese make great use of the telegraph, though it there transmits messages In English alone. To day great numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese morenauts, and used by them exclusive ly for the transmission of early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose, connecting all their seaports were now In existence, it is believed that Its business would pay.tho cost within the first two years of its successful operation, and would steadily Increase thereafter. No enterprise commends itself as In a greater degree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole people.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor, For restoring- Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray' hair is soon restored to its original color with the gloss and of youth. Thin hair is thick ened, falling hair checked, and bald ness otyen; though not always, cured by its use. Nothing • can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can bo saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a- pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, .nothing else can bo found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white calnbric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr, J. C.

Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption. Probably never before In the whole history of medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedv for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series of years, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher and higher in their estima tion, as <t has bccomo better known. Its uniform character and power .to cure the various affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known ns a re liable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and toyoung children, it is at the same time the most effectual remedy that can bo given for incipient consumption, and tho dan gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As n pro vision against sudden attacks of Croujt, it should be kept oa baud in every family, and indeed as all arc sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should bo provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers of ctvses where the dis ease seemed settled, have bqen (completely cured, and tho patient restored to sound health by tho Cherry Pectoral, So complete Is its mastery over tho disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that tlio most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth ing clso could reach then), under tho Cherry Pec toral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speakers find great pro tection horn It. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. - Bronchitis is generally enred by taking the Chewy Pectoral in email and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known that wo need not publish tbo certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained. Ayer’s Ague Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Hemittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &0., and indeed all the affections which arise from malariousi marsh, or miasmatic poisons. As its name implies, it docs Cure, and docs not fail. Containing neither Arscnio, Quinine, Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it In nowise injures any patient. Tho number and importance ol its cures in the ague dis tricts, arc literally beyond account, and wo behove without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride Is gratified by the acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed. Unacclimatcd persons, cither resident in, -or travelling through miasmatic localities, will bo pro tected by taking tho AOXIE CURE daily. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of tbo Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it Is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re markable cures, where other medicines nad failed. Prepared by Du. J. O.

[Correspondence of the Boston Journal.] FROJH CALCUTTA TO SINGAPORE. Singapore, May 22, 1868. .Let those of your readers who cure to follow ray wanderings fancy thatilhey are in the harbor of Calcutta, on board the steamship Clan Alpine. It is day light—the morning of the 21st of May. DOWN THE HOOGLY We float past a great fleet ol mer chant vessels lying in the stream, with top masts and spars sent down to the deck, a precaution against the cyclones which at this season of the year sweep the Eastern seas. The river is alive with native craft, and at this early hour the followers of Bramh are on the bank, thousands of them taking their morn ing bath. Stately, solemn adjutant cranes look down upon us from the neighboring houses; Kites scream over our heads; crows make themselves at home on .the deck of our steamer, i The bustle, of the day is beginning in the streets of this lively city of India. The tide is in our favor, and we glide rapidly away from the town, past the beautiful Parade or Common; past the cathedral with its tall spire and turrets; past the fort, its ramparts thick with cannon, the place where, two centuries ago, the East India company first got foothold on Indian soil; past the dock yards, of the Peninsular and Oriental company, where one of their noble stea mers is taking in coal for her long trip down the coast of Ceylon, then to Suez; past the docks of the Messagories’ Im periales, where another steamer is ta king on a new coat of paint, after a voy age to Japan: past beautiful residences and lovely gardens and well kept grounds, where peacocks and monkeys are sporting among the shrubs and flow ers, where elephants, like the Hindoos, arc taking a morning bath in the Hoog ly. With the tide in our favor, with en gines working easily.. we rush down . stream twelve miles an hour. The Clan Alpine is rated a fast steamer, and her cargo is opium, for which the Chinese are hankering. The Government of India holds a sale at auction of the drug on the 9th of every month, and on the 21st the house of Jardine, Skinner & Co., and the house of Afcan <t Co., each dispatch a fast steamer to Hong Kong. These two steamers make direct com munications with China. Indirect com munication may be had by the P. & O. company via Ceylon, and once a month a steamer creeps along the coast of Bur mah to Singapore, where tho voyager must halt till be can hit the regular steamers. . A SAD CATASTROPHE. It was mid afternoon when we passed from the fresh water of the river to tho salt water of the Bay. I was asleep in my state room, making up what was lost in the battle with the mosquitoes, but was wakened by a running across the deck. The steward rushed past my door greatly agitated. “ What’s the trouble?” “The boiler has ” and he ins gone, the last half of the sentence not heard. A puff of steam came through the open part, a cloud swept into the cabin. I rushed for the ’deck, met the thick vapor on the cabin stairs, held one hand over my mouth. Instinct is quick at such times. As the hot and “3tifiling fog swept over me, I crouched low, covered ray face with my coat, reached the topmost stair. Ten min utes before, I had left Mrs. C., the cap tain and six fellow passengers sitting on the deck. I reached their chairs, feeling my way from chair to chair, ; seeing nothing, the steam thicker and hotter. T conld hear cries of agony. A call, no answer. Another, and then a faint “ here we.are,” from the stern of the vessel. Pushing through the steam I reached the stern of the steamer to find those whom I had so recently left standing on the grating above the rud der head, their own heads above the awning which had been stretched over the deck, thus protecting their faces from the steam. O, how long it took for that cloud to clear away! It may have been five minutes, hut seemed an age. Little by little we saw what had happened. One poor fellow was rolling in agony at our feeh—face, hands and breast parboiled. Going forward and looking down through the grating into the engine room, we could ace that one of the su per-healers had hurst, pouring its flood of boiling water and its condensed clouds of scalding vapor into the engine room. One by one the poor creatures were brought up, some dead, others dy ing, some with skin hanging in patches and shreds like the peelings of boiled potatoes, countenances marred beyond the possibility of recognition, flesh burned away, leaving muscles and bones—nineteen in all, thirteen of whom, before the next night, were num bered with the dead. They were all natives except one, the fourth engineer; a Scotchman'. Table cloths were torn to shreds, oil poured • upon their wounds—everything was done that could be, but for thirteen of them human aid was of no avail. The chief engineer states that there was but eighteen pounds of steam at the time, that he has frequently run the en gine at twenty-five. It was the " f pri ming” of the boilers consequent upon passing from fresh to salt water which caused the explosion, but an examina tion'of the iron shows that under the superheating process, the life of the metal was burned out. Superheating is economical, but exceedingly danger ous. This is only one more catastrophe to be added to the many already on rec ord from the bursting of superheaters. % Having two bhilers -still intact and the engine uninjured, the Captain deci ded to goon, though our voyage will be two or three days longer in conse quence of the accident.-' The bodies of the dead Hindoos were committed to the deep without any. religious ceremony, for they have ho funeral rites. At sunset, on tho 22d, the body of tho engineer was brought up on deck. It was a sad groupe—his brother officers, the few passengers, the Hindoos, Ma lays and Chinese of the lorecastle look ing curious to see how the .Christians disposed of their dead—the. Captain reading the sublime burial service of tlie Episcopal Church—theuneovered heads, the, tears rolling down the bronzed -fa ces of the officers, the cross of St. An drew covering the body, for, to the sons of -Old Scotia, that-is'still- dearer than the banner of St. George;' then; as- the sun sinks into the ; sea, .the body disap peared beneath the closing waves, com mitted to Christ’s caro'and keeping till the Resurrection morning. • ACROSS THE BAY OF BENGAL. Our.bourse Is southeast, across a smooth sea. Five hundred miles bring us to the northerntnobt of the Andaman islands, that groupe-aor rather long line of islands which lie west of the coast of Burmah. On the map they aro: repre sented os being near the main land, hut dt is lull 200 miles across to Hongpon. They, ate of volcanic origin—heaved up from the sea ages ago; clothed how with greenest verdure.' Wild tribes roam through the jun gles as wild now ns they were a thou sand years ago. There is d light-house on Cocoa Island kept up byithe English government. A ship calls I there three or four times a year, sent out by the liight-house board, but the five or six individuals composing the colony live ■by themselves during the long months without other Intercourse with the world. On one of the southern islands of the chain, the East Indian govern ment has established a penal colony. Birds aro dying along the shores j there are monkeys without number in those green forests, but there are no signs of human life—no roads winding up the hill-sides. The wild men only inhabit the largest islands which lie out of our track, and we steam on, two days lon ger, before sighting other land. THE COAST OP MAHAY. Nature has put a great block in the path of corameree here, as she has also at Suez and Panama. The Malay pe ninsula is a narrow tongue of land—on ly twelve miles wide at one place; but if it did not exist, or if there were a ca nal across it, vessels bound to or from China might save one thousand miles of their voyage. Off tho coast lie num erous islands. This is the enchanted land. You are never weary of gazing upon tho hills and mountains which rise one after''another—some so high that their summits are lost intbeclouds —clothed' in richest green from the wave-washed rock to the highest peak. You look into ravines, behold distant vistas, varying every moment, reveal ing new beauties, which before you have time to admire them, are succee ded by others equally enchanting.— These are “spice islands” of poesy, of nutmeg, clove, pimento and cinnamon, fanned by balmy breezes, laved by gen tle waves, reposing beneath skies ever beautiful—such islands us have enchan ted us when sailing over the sea, of rea ding in former years with Moore and Byron, and even with Shakespeare and sober John Milton.. But there is another side to the pic ture. Tho murcury to-day is ninety three in the shade, the atmosphere stea my and sticky. Wipe yourself thor oughly dry with a towel and in five minutes you need to repeat the process. Energy evaporates. You feel like 1 do ing nothing, but you would give any thing for n cool place to do it in. The breeze, so balmy over the poetic page, is hot and penetrating, and you would give a big price if you could take off your flesh and sit it In your bones; i If wo were to go on shore wo snduld' find snakes, scorpions, centipedes,’ liz zards, and all sorts of vermin in yonder spice groves. There are wood-leeches which creep into your nostrils when asleep, and make themselves a comfort able home in your nose, living on the best blood of your brain; tho deadly cobra comes into tho house without in vitation, and makes himself a homo in your bed; spiders, with legs three inch es Jong nnd bodies of the size of a small teacup, spin webs over your windows or hang on the corners of your rooms. Swarms of flying ants come into tho dining room at dinner time and light upon your roast mutton; "white ants boro out the table legs, the pillars of the house, carry off your best suit of clothes or your books in a single night; bugs, flies,. fleas, beetles, cock-roaches, lice, blue bugs, black bugs, yellow bugs, green bugs, little bugs and big bugs— creeping, flying, skipping, hopping, jumping, running—coming at morning, noon and night—especially at night, when you aro sweating, tossing, turn ing and tumbling and trying to get a wink of sleep! How nice to have a great spider straddle over your face, or to have cock roaches as large- as mice run across the dinner,-table! If .these seem to be exaggerations, go into the Museum of Natural History and see in the wonderful collections of insects there what sort of company the people of the tropics are compelled to put up with. Tho lands of spice are delightful as seen by tho poet’s eye. The natives un doubtedly think there are no climes so beautiful, and there are some English men who profess to like these lands better than their own misty isle. It is well for the world that tastes differ. PENANG. . At .the entrance of the Straits of Ma lacca, we approach the Island of Pen ang, separated from the Malay shore by a narrow inlet. It is a delightful sail—a panorama of mountains, ever changing as we sweep along. “0 hundred shores of happy climes, How swiftly streamedyo by tbo bark J At times the whole sea burned—at times With wakes of flro we tore tho dark." I have scon no such blazing waves ns these—the whole sea at night all hut ready to burst into flame. It is ten o’clock when we drop anchor. SVe are surrounded by boats, and lofig be fore we can discern the dusky forms of tho rowers we can see their oars dip up the light. Every flsh carries a torch.— You behold lines of light, curving and turning, now slow, now darting with the rapidity of lightning, line across line in endless streams. A shower comes on, and every rain drop turns to fire—as if a hand unseen were sowing the deep with fire seed 1 In the morning we find ourselves ly ing east of the town, a low fort on the shore, a green esplanade in frdnt, the town south of it; two church spires painted against the dark green of the mountain which rises two thousand feet high beyond. A few vessels are anchored in the harbor, hundreds of row boats around us, a Chinese junk hear by. We have reached the verge of the Flowery Kingdom. We might say that that land hod bloomed over its ow.ii borders and its blossoms had fallen here. Our waiters on the steam , er are Celestial with pig tails. ; Nearly the entire population of this island, 125,000 in all, are Chinese. We go ashore in a boat rowed by a Chinaman ‘with n hnt like the cover of a sugar bowl three feet in diameter. His boat has two eyes painted at tho bow. How could tho boat make its way if it hadn’t eyes? John treats it as if it were a thing of life. We land at a little jetty or pier—the only one of the port—-and oiir feet stand on Prince of Wales Island. Flunkeyism flourishes in this climate; it has lost nothing by being transported from Old England. This little .'island with Singapore has a Gov ernor General, and once a year his. pu issant mightiness comes up to see how • the island is getting on; because ho comes once a twelve month, all vessels and steamers ace forbidden to drop an chor within five hundred yards of the royal landing. A short ride, while tho steamer is waiting, will enable us to see the fea tures of the place; the fort with low walls, nice esplanade; wide and well kept streets; the Chinese and Malay Section of tho town dirty and unattrac - tive; tlie houses of natives and Emo pqans also on posts, for free circulation of air,; (lolightlul drives, beneath palms cocoas; gardens filled with flowers: vegetation most luxuriant; tropical fruits and flowers of every kind. About one hundred Europeans reside here, engaged In the spice trade. The P. and O. line of steamers between (Su ez and China, till last mohqV,' called here, hut under the new contract Pcn angeis left out in the cold—or rather, for this climate, in the heat—and i's de pendent upon the Calcutta and China steamers for mail facilities. It cis a dumaginghhiw. TO SINGAPORE. “But our hour is up. Once more on board, we have a run of three hundred and thirty miles down tho Malay coast before reaching Singapore. We have an unrufiied sea, the coast In view near ly nil the way: now low, flatond unin teresting, and now beautiful; with groves of palms, cocoa, nutmeg and VOL. 35.—N0. 19, cinnamon; bald head lands,' high mountains, clothed with varying shades. It is not till wo near Singapore that we catch sight of Sumatra, a low shore covered with tropical vegetation. We are in one of the highways of commerce. From Calcutta to Penang we saw only one sail, and that a native boat; but now wo meet steamers and glide past barks and full-rigged ships and queer Malay boats. THE NUniIATT CANE—MOTHER AND NON. For two years, and more, ail the exer- tions of this powerful Government were employed for the arrest of the young man known as John H. Surratt. It was’made the subject of grave commu nications from our Secretary of State to our diplomatic agents abroad. Secret detectives in abundance were placed on his track. Large rewards were offered, for his apprehension. So great were the efforts made to capture him, tiiat in no part of the civilized world, not even in its most inaccessible corners, was lie in a position of the lightest safety.— Knowing that the blood-hounds were on his scent, and remembering the late of his innocent and unfortunate motli- or, he fled from one quarter of the globo to the other—from America to Europe, from Europe to Asia, from Asia to Af rica, and from Africa back to Europe. There, while in disguise in the Papal service In Italy, lie was betrayed to the detectives by a pretended friend in whom ho had reposed confidence, but who was willing to sacrifice him, to sell his heart’s, blood for the Government reward. By the basest not of treachery, and the encouragement of this vilest of informers, the Administration effected his arrest, and brought him in triumph on a Government vessel to the jjnitod States. His capture was considered a great national event—one upon which we should felicitate ourselves. The charge against him was being one of the murderers of President Lincoln, and the whole country, almost as one man, took it for granted that the accusation was true. , Had he been brought before that tyrannical mockery known as a milita ry. Commission, lie would have had a short shrift to the gallows. ■, i But the nation had recovered in .spme degree from the deadly stupor which afflicted it in 1865, and the reign of llaw was partially re-established. He jwas at first, with extreme severity, thrown into a dungeon and heavily ironed. But his trial, after a long delay, at.last came. His innocence was made jper fectly manifest, despite the bold and au dacious efforts of witnesses of the Cono ver stamp to swear his life away. But he proved, by irreproachable testimo ny, that he was hundreds of miles from Washington when the pistol of Bpoth gut an end to the career of Mr. Lincoln, both conceived the idea of assassina ting Lincoln that very day, after he heard that he was going to the theatre, and it was certainly improbable that he could have been aided, either before or after the crimes by a man who was then at a great distance away, and with whom he could have had no communi cations whatever relative to the mur der. But he was not acquitted, al though he made a plain case of inno cence. There were men on the jury with whom it was a part of their poli tics to take the life of Surratt. A disa greement was the result. The Govern ment, however, ashamed of the frauds and perjuries that had characterized the murder trial, dropped it and com menced another action based on a “ crim inal conspiracy,” which it was easier to establish by loose and reckless testimo ny. But fortunately for the ends of justice, they delayed the case so long as to bring it within the statue of limita* tions, and under it, the prisoner! for whom we traversed the earth, and whom we had brought home in a spec ial National vessel, was discharged. The result of this case against the son only exhibits in blacker colors the ini quity of the proceedings which led to the murder of the mother under preten ded judicial forms and solemnities. The evidence on the trial of John H. Surratt proved conclusively what all intelli gent and dispassionate men were con vinced of before, that Mrs. Anna Sur ratt had nothing to do in the murder of Lincoln. The case against her would not have gone to a jury before any fair ly constituted, court in Christendom, But she was before that which was in finitely worse than a mob, a tribunal existing in defiance of law, and govern ed by none of the rules of ordinary courts, and which was organized solely to convict. Among its members were such men ns General Hunter, General Lew Wallace—base parasites of poWgr’ —who, fit for nothing in the army; were convenient tools for tyranny to uso in such objects as it desires to effect out side of legitimate military duty. They were men who would recoil from noth ing which they were ordered to do by Stanton and Holt, no matter how repug nant it might bo to justice and human ity. For sixty days or more this conclave continued to assemble in Washington. It continued to assemble right in the seat of the law whoso majesty it was! its special purpose to outrage and . violqte. There it hold its prisoners in its iron; grasp, in the face of habeas corpus and of ail the exertions of the courts for their release. If we had a President who dared to take his just responsibili ty, he would have dismissed This infa mous commission instanter, instead of which he gave ids countenance to its il legal action. • Arrayed in military tog gery, with all the insignia of despo tism, this monstrous military court was the great feature of Washington during the spi ing and summer months of 18(15. It bad for its Judge-Advocate the hard featured, relentless and cruel Bingham, of Ohio, who is admirably qualified! to have 1 been the Prosecuting Attorney under such a Judge as the infamous Jeffries; of England, and who only wanted a little experience to have even rivalled that Judge himself in his worst traits of character. The Jack Ketch service was so captivating to some men, that General Burnett, by some means or other, crowded himgelf into the case as an assistant or volunteer. Before such a tribunal, and with perjured wit nesses like Conover, backed up and sus tamed by all the power of Stanton and Holt, it would havp been a miracle if Mrs. Surratt had escaped. Pale and trembling, a helpless and defenceless woman, she was every day, for months, brought in the august presence of the mighty Hunter and Wallace, encased with irons, with fetters and shackles. They condemned her to die by stran gulation on the scaffold, and with a re finement of cruelty not being known in this generation, they only allowed her twelve hours between the announce ment of the sentence and its dread exe cution. They were apparently afraid ■that if a reasonable time was allowed, the passions of the hour would subside —that there would be an Executive in terference, and that their prey would escape them. Hence they hurried i ton with indecent haste to its consumma tion. The tragedy was accordingly fin ished, and no circumstance wnsombted td increase its atrocity. Very few be lieved at the time that the woman would be executed. A reprieve or pafdon was looked for nt the lost moment, and de tails, therefore, of the proceedings upon the scaffold were read with surprise and horror.

Butler, stained as he is with odium, pointed his finger at Bing ham, and denounced him in the stron gest terms for his participation in the Surratt execution. He held him up to tho scorn and hatred of the world.— Generals Hunter, Wallace and others who comprised tho commission, have sought to tree themselves from blame by tho statement that after they found Mrs. Surratt guilty, they signed a pa per recommending her to the mercy of tho President. The President, feeling the force of this, denies that he ever re ceived tho paper in question, and he in timates that'll was suppressed by some one in the War Department. Preston King, of New York, who was then nt the President’s mansion, is said to Ixivo been the person who took upon himsoif tho responsibility of denying Miss An na Surratt admission to the presence of tho President to intercede for her moth er on tho morning of the day of the ex ecution. If so, we do not wonder that ho became insane, and in its delirium, threw himself into the dark waters of the Hudson, Tho criminations and re criminations, and attempt to shift the responsibility from one to another, have been frequent between theactors in this deed of blood. To posterltyitwiiloven appear in a more hateful light than it does to this generation. We have often wondered what could be tho motives of Stanton and Holt in their persecution of this hapless woman. Had it been a prominent political oppo nent upon whom they could have grat ified their personal end and political re sentment, we should not have felt any surpffse. But both her sex and posi tion in life were Such as seem to forbid the idea that she could have rendered herself in any peculiar manner obnox ious to the cruel men then at tho head of tho government. Tho only reconci lable theory is this: that at tho time it was tho purpose of Stanton and Holt to strike “ terror,” than the execution of one for whom her innocence and sex alike plead in vain.— Cin. Enquirer. Caki.eton The Custom op Burning the Dead in Japan. —A letter from Japan says: The burning of the dead is largely prac ticed among the Japanese; and of the thirty-five different forms of worship practiced hero—all equally-false—but two demand burial in preference to increma tion. My acquaintance with their mode of burying the dead is limited to two fu nerals, which casually came before my notice. On one occasion I was returning from a walk, and my path led beside one of the little cemeteries near Kobi, in which a small party was gathered. It was the hour of sunset, a fitting time for an event of tender sorrow. The mourn ers were dressed entirely in white, which contrasted with the gaudy robes of a small group of priests- Tho corpse, in its enclosure, lay upon a bier, and an of fering of green rice and of flowers was made as though to tho manes of the dead. Then came the beating of bells and the clang of cymbals. The receptacle which contained the corpse was shaped like a half barrel, and in this the dead was placed in a sitting posture, and all vacant places were filled with combustibles. The friends now all gathered round it and commenced a low, plaintive chant, so monotomous that it seemed merely the repetition of a name, which I suppose to have been that of one of their dieties.— They then separated, and only a few re mained to attend to the final service.— Tho receptacle or coffin was placed over a alone trough and covered with a heap of fuel. Ail gathered in a close circle and the nearest of kin (in this instance a wife) applied the torch, and os the flames ascended the monotonous chant and the sound ofoymbals were renewed in mourn ful concert. Excessive grief was decent ly restrained, except in the case of a lit tle boy about ten years old, who wept pi tiously, and was taken aside to be com forted. The group broke, and one after the other departed, leaving the wife above referred to alone, the image of sor row, and apparently unable, to tear her self from the ashes of her husband. , H .Absent. —They tell a good many Jpkes about Billy Williams, au eccentric English low comedian, who was -in this country fifteen or twenty years since.— Billy was very clever in a good many characters, but was a thorough cockney, and economical of his “ h” where most persons are sufficiently liberal to use it. Rather unsuspecting,he was the subject of a good many tricks by his fellow-actors. ; Burton himself was very fond of making him a butt. On one occasion the two were at Windust’s—ln those days a fa vorite resort—with several others of the sock and buskin. Burton said toa friend; “I have a singular poem to be deliver ed at the benefit of the Dramatic Fund. I don’t know whether they will do, but X think there are two lines of it stark uonseuse. Here they ,are—the last two of the verse. Read it, Billy, and see what you think of it.” Billy took the MS. and with due em phasis and discretion read aloud : “ W’ilo those harouud hin silence sit, Haud hovery heye In moisture swims ’Ands ’lghly ’urled. ’alf 'idlng ’art, 'OarseTy 'e ’owls ’ertiflo ’ymns.” The roar of laughter that followed star tled Billy. Ho .looked around, but not seeing that be was the subject of ridicule, repeated the four last lines reflectively. T ‘ I don’t exactly understand ’em,” said Billy. 11 Anyway I don’t 'oarsely. An ’owl is never ’coarse.” 11 No,” said Burton, gravely. An owl hoots and can scarcely be said to he hoarse.” “Oh!” cried Billy, nettled; "yon know • what I meau.
