most ordinary individual in the world.
Six month passed bv, und last month V

ingly ouu or two Kfiurrs were given by .Mr.
II iime. in different houses; but now comes
thereullysiiigiilaf part of the business.
About a lortinght or three wrehs back, it i

since then what happened is in every oiie's

1 spoke till last evening, is exceedingly nn
pie :ed by what the F.mperor ti Id him. uml

adits that if I hero bo some phenomena in
this fur which he can conceive u cause, theie
aru other lor which he cunm't by any possi

liu had. standing alone w.th Mr. Hume

'bjs which is to u tha
most nttmissiible at once, and yet perhaps ll
strangest of all -the purely syu p.t utio or
electru inagiietic hypol liens the supposition
that, by a very extraordinary iliflueiico upnn
those uroutid them, tbe medium forces his
public to see and hold for certain thut which
he Intends they shall believe." I lie Profes
sor 1 liavo alluded to intends to provoke an
inquiry upon nil this, and is to assist at the
next fenncr Rie.-n bj Mr, Jlom, at tint TiiM
eries. He is himself one of those liberal
minded in i' n tu when, an immense amount of
acquired knowledge lias only brought the
conviction that all human science is Vain and
limited; nnd he is ready to seek more knowl
edge wherever it can be found. "Whatever
really is, ha its reason," was his urgumeul
while talking to me last evening ; "und whut
a muu in his senses believes he has seen, and
whut ten or twelve people round Lim bebevd
they have seen, has equally u reason some
where, supposing even thut you am only to

tive belief." His notion is thut the power or
electricity, us individually possessed ' uml
applied, is as et ungtu ssed ut, and thut
w orlds of science are, perhaps, turning per
petually around us, whereof the most learned
lias no more suspicion than the most ignorant
man. 1 was much blruck Willi the concluding

Death from Snakebites in India.
The number of deaths arising from snuV.
bites in the various r.illuhs und towns subor
dinate lo this presidency having bet-J brought
to the nut lie ul Mr. A. bcUingtou. Commis
sioner of Police, by Several magistrates, that
gentleman addressed a letter lo Government
lo the following effect :
"1 have the honor lo report, for the infor
mation o Government, that the loss of life
from the biles of snakes in Some districts of
litis presidency is considerable. In the
Dhbrwur Zillah, fur instance, uu less than lti
deaths me reported to have occurred within
the lusl fuiir uioiit lis from this cause. It ap
pears that more deaths ure occasioned by
snakebites I han by tiger. 1 beg to propose
for the consideration of Covci niiienl lhat re
WHrds be offered for the desl ruction of snake
eight annas for a snake or any kind, and 12
minus for u cobra ; to be paid up .ill the pro
duction of the snake forthwith by the Piilel
and Kolkurnee of thu village, who will for
ward the dead snake (by ,the village ilhar),
with the receipt, tu the nearest Mahulkuriy
or Miimlutudar. It is absolutely necessary
I hut the payment should be prompt, and the
reward sufficiently high to induce people to
occupy themselves in killing snakes. 1 pur
pose lo make no exception, because the car
pet snake, 'foorsa,' the whip snake, mid the
cobra (the snukes most commonly met with,)
ure uli poisonous, mid there can be no exer
cise of disci'imitialioil.
"In uu exceptional cafe, it would not an-
i swer lo withdraw payment, while ignorant
! persons, unable to detect the poison-lung
and gland, were dehiiliug whether the reptile
was or was not poisonous. It will be neces
sary also that tbe magistrate shall continue
tu urge and compel the removal of masse of
piickiy pear from the villages In niutiv
