The Hindu year is reckoned by three calendars, according to the sun, moon, and stars. The religious festivals which are strictly observed bv the Hindu, occur according to the lunar division. These divisions rendei the arrangement of a calendar very complicated. While the native merchant does his civil reckoning by one calendar, he must at the same time perform his religious ceremonies accord ing to the aspect of the moon, and arrange his festivals and other occupations by the position of the stars and planets. The ceremonial calendar is a matter of great value to the Hindu, who regards the ob servance of the religious fasts as the most important part of his life. The dates of these festivals and the rules for their ob servance constitute the greater part of the almanac. On the twenty-fourth of April, "earthen water-pots and fans are given to Brahmans for the coining Sum mer, that the names of their deceased an cestors may feel comfortable during that season in the heavens." On another day the rules declare the observance of a do mestic duty, that "all the lamps in the house shall be washed, cleaned and placed In a row, and offerings of incense and flowers be made to them." Feasts are prepared and eaten by the household in honor of the lamps. On the day before the fnl 1 moon a pile of wood is lighted before each house and offerings of cake and cocoanut are made. The third section of the Almanac re lates to the stars. The firm belief uni uuivcrsally prevails amoug the Hindus that both good and ill luck is occasioned by the position of the stars: and no mat ter of any importance can be undertaken without first consulting the Al manac with reference to the hcav- enly bodies. There is a table of aus picious days and marriages, and on no other day than that set down can the ceremony be performed, iu the Hindu mind, with any regard for future domes tic happiness. Other tables are arranged for different calculations, and one enables a person to calculate his fortune from the position of the moon ut his birth. All this seeems to be folly, and the calculations the work of mere chance. They are not, however, but are the result of certain fixed rnlos. Some of the p.iph esies are. at the same time, amusing and absurd. They have no association of ideas and things. One prophesy declares "de struction to potentates, asses and earthen pot-makers," and another bodes "ill luck to flies but happiness to their idols." All this, however, is law to the Hindu, who regards his Almanac as the embodiment ol truth and science. Recent Russian dispatches state that the Grand Duke Nicholas is implicated in the late plot against tin? Czar's life. The University of St. Petersburg has been closed and it is reported that twelve "Hun dred arrests have been made including a number of students, of persons suspected of complicity in the conspiracy. Great excitement prevails in the capital over frequent acts of incendiarism and the peo ple are in constant alarm for the safety of the country. The manufacture of paper bricks is said to be carried on extensively in the West, and especially in California, where the best fibrous material is provided. The ■quality of the bricks renders them well • adapted for building purposes. The • CJiinqse make the soles of their shoes of paper similarly prepared. i( , Thp Winter which was brought to a close yesterday has been unexampled on each side of the Atlantic.
