Now they are so nearly forgotten that, iu a conversation the other day between half a dozen well-informed men, as in formation in New York goes, not one could give any clear idea of who the great apostle of flesh reduction was, or of what ho hiul done. Mr. Bunting was an English gentleman, live feet in height and weighing over two hundred pound. His appearance with these proportions was naturally quite comical, and while his adipose was a great per sonal inconvenience, since it prevented his tying his own shoes, forced him to walk downstairs backward and do other uncomfortable things, it also led to his being jeered at and scouted by the street boys, to his great mental pain. Con sequently lie tried every possible means to reduce himself. Ho took ninety Turkish baths in succession, drank min eral waters, walked and otherwise ex ercised himself, and lived on sixpence a day, but all in vain. Finally he hit upon a doctor who investigated his case, and prescribed a certain regimen by which he was soon reduced to reason able proportions. This regimen lias been published for the benefit of the public. It was simply eat nothing but j meat. Avoid the fat-producing vogo- j tables, milk and the like, of which j Bantling was so fond, and yon will be ! sjsired his unpleasant fate. It is a question, however, if Banting's regimen would have any affect on Dan- ! iel I .Hubert.

I'p to the age of nineteen lie was simply a mnseu- j lar fellow , able to lift great weights and : carry five hundred pounds with ease. Then he succeeded his father as keeper . of the prison ami the sedentary life ; thus necessitated began to tell uj>on his i bulk.

He grow so fat that he conld iio longer attend to the duties of his office, so the magistrates, in consideration of his human treat ment of the prisoners and his general efficiency, retired him on 8-.V). Fat as he was, or rather because he was so fat, he was an excellent swimmer, and ' taught thatart to hundreds of yonng peo ple at Leicester. In consequence of his immense bulk he eonld swim with ease , with two men on his back. After his retirement he Iss-ame such a public show tliat he determined to go ta London and turn his misfortune to ac count. He went in 1 HOG, unable to walk it this time, in a vehicle which hail to be built expressly for him. He lived at various places in London and was assist ed by every one from the king down. Then he made a tonr of the country. He enjoyed good health, ate moderately and drank nothing but water; Was an in telligent an.i well-informed man, and, wonder of wornlcr, was jKis.se.ssed of a beautiful, clear and raclodions tenor voice. In .Tune, IHDII, Lambert was weighed. He tijqtcd the l>euin at pounds. His measure around the liody was three yards four inches, and he was one yard fonr inches around the leg. Each suit of his clothes cost 8100. Seven ordinary sized men were repeatedly buttoned under his waistcoat without straining a button. He died on June 20, IWfii. His coffin wa* six feet fonr inches long, four feet fonr inches wide and two feet four inches deep. It took one hundred and twelve snperfieial f*>t of plank to make it. Its form was that of a j nicking ease. It was bnilt on two axle trees and fonr wheels. The wall of the room in which he died (for he had long been im-aj table of walking upstairs) was taken away, and he was thus hauled to his grave. Twenty men worked half an honr getting the colossal corpse into its last resting-place by sliding it down an inclined plane. I<atnbcrt's fatal disease was dnqmy. Another monster was Edward Bright, a miller of Mkldcn. who died on Novem ber 10, 1750, at the age of thirty. He waH an active man to within a couple of years of his death, when his eoqmlency weighed him down and made life a misery to him. At his demise he weighed 616 pounds. When he was twelve years old Bright had weighed 144 pound*. James Manning. l, a butcher, died at Dilslen, in Essex, on Novcmbe*lßo2, in his eighty-second year.

After having fully cquippixl tho office nt Hun Jose for businesH und placed it in regular telegraphic communication with Han Francisco, I prepared to push on tho next day for Stockton, when just as wo were on the point of starting I dis covered fhat tin- coils of wire that had been stored at Han Jose were much lurgcr than those we huil used between San Francisco and that jroint, and were consequently more difficult to liandlo without changing the reel. We mode only three miles that day, camping at night in front of n farmhouse, the occupant of which had left the Eastern States Ix-fore the advent of the tele graph. When snppcr was over he visited our camp and appeared mnch interested, watching me attentively while I was communicating with Hon Josivaml Hun Francisco He could not realize that it 1 was possihlo for me to hold a conver sation, through the medium of a little ticking instrument, with jM-rsoii* so far I distant. In fact he expressed grave | doubts as to the truthfulness of my assertion that I was speaking with j any one at all, saying that it was impossible for unv one to read or interpret the clicks made by the little instrument in front of me. And so satisfied was he of the correctness of his views that ho stated his williiigness to back them np by a wager, lie then 1 requested me to tU him what it was I bail just communicated. I told him I hud informed tin-ojM-mtor at Han Jose that tin machinery that I was using for paying out the wire needed some alter ations, and that I would return there the next morning to have the necessary changes made. lb- thereuoon verv kindly volunteered on certain conditions to take me to Han Jose in bis wagon. The conditions Were that I would accept his offer to furni-.ii wut< me lon . for the whole party on it being proved that the communication I bad stated as having been sent by me to Han Jose bud been received at that office over the line. But to make sure that no advantage should Is- taken of him, he re quested me to send another lllCH sjige to the effect that on our arrival at San Jose in the morning theiqs-rator must promptly ap|iear at the door of j the oflice and say " Watermelons." 1 My agreement to do this seemed to i increase the interest my rancher friend held in me, and lie very generously tendered me the hospitality of his house, in which I enjoyed the luxury jof an excellent bed. After a hearty breakfast in the morning, a go<*l |ir of horses were brought out and attached to a bnggy. in which was placed my reel, and we started for Han Jose. I Pawing np in front of the office, we were met by- the operator at the door, who promptly minted us with " Where arc tin- watermelons?" Mv eom|stnion slapped nie on (lie leek, delighted at lieing fnlly convinced of the reality and ini|Kirtanee of the telegraph. The watermelons were quickly provided, and, as they were worth at that time 81 or more apiece, they were eonsiib rt-d a great treat. When the feast was over, I lie made many inquiries aliont the tele graph, examining into the mysteries of its working; after which, the changes in the wire reel having in the mean time Ix-en made, we set ont on otir return to camp, where, on onr arrival in the after noon, work was again resumed The Calif mian. The bates of Jerusalem. Hpeaking of the gates of Jerusalem, a correspondent of the Baltimore .Iron-i --ron says: Tradition mentions several that are not now to lx> found, such as the Obi (late, Kphraim's Gate, the Val ley Gate, the Prison Gate, the Fish Gate and others. At present there are but four that can lie o|M>ncd, although | four others are distinctly seen walled Up. The gates now ojmn are those of , Jsffa, of l>a|naxcus, of Ht. Htcphen, and of Itavid—one in each of the fonr walls. The Jaffa gate is northwest of Monnt /.inn, and is the usual entrance for pil j griins from Christian lands. It is com posed of tall towers or buttresses, evi dently of great strength, and easily de i fended against ancient modes of war- I fare. The gate* proper consist of two , largo folding-door*, in one of which is a wicket call oil "The Needle's Eye," which is just largo enough to admit a j camel without any load on its back, i whence come, I snpjxiso, the scriptural adage alsint the diftienlty of n camel going through the eye of a needle. I asked what significance the natives at tached to this, and was gravely told that, itiaaranch as a camel cannot possi bly ]<aas through it while carrying any portion of a load, similarly a rich man cannot pass through the wicket of the heavenly Jerusalem nntil he has en tirely unloaded himself of his riehea and his other earthly burdens. The three other gates are of similar constraetioo, with strong turrets. Bnt they are all wonderfully striking to the eye, in their qnaint and now nselem pondcronsnees, albeit conveying a pro found impression of the ancient strength of the city, and of the difficulty of ita capture by Moslem or Crusader.

Mr. Colnagbi, the British con sul for North Italy, states that since IHTfi seventy-one incinerations of bodies l.ave taken place at Milan and fifU-en at Lodi, making a total of eighty-six. The flr"t crematory furnace set up in Milan was heated by ordinary gas, made on the spot and passed by means of tulxa I into the urn. This system, however, I hat to le abandoned, since it was found j to be neither rapid nor economical, five : hours lxring required to complete the operation. Two rival systems are now living triisl—one the invention of Pro fessor Gorini, of Lodi, and the other tliat of (Messrs. Porna and Vennini. of Milan. Both are heated by wood, and the flames are brought into direct con tact with the Ixsly, combustion being ! increased by the introdnction of atmos pheric air. Cremation does not appear to be a costly process, for the total cost of incinerating a human liody at Milan ' is somewhat under fifty lire, or lean than $lO. This charge cheers not only the fees to the Cremation society and to the municijiahty, but the cost of a nk* he for the cinerary urn in the columlm rium erected for tliat purjiose.
