WEST POINT. Preparations for the Coming Season—The Graduating Class and What It Ie—Hew the Reorganization of the Army Affects It—The Board of Visitors. West Point, May 23, 1869, It is a very fortunate circumstance for the peace ‘and quietude of this cosey nook among the High- lands that the examination of the graduating class takes piace but once @ year; for, were the case etherwise, what with the resounding of hammers, the screechings of contesting maids of all work in Detel haibvays, the beating of carpets, the burnishing of silver that rusts for want of use, the painting of parlor walls ana parior ceilings, the setting to rights ef things that winter indolence allows to set them- gelves all wrong—all of which are the never-failing precursors of the annual occasion—West Point would be, ina short space of time, a pandemonium quite worthy of the original. Now, although the professors do not begin their series of puzzles, sometimes dig- nifica by the name of examinations, until a week srom to-morrow, the preparations for the momentous event have been gomg on here for days past with a vim and vigor that must, like many other things we wot of, be seen to be appreciated. Gracious knows that the “season” last summer, which was preceded by not one-half the present preparatory bustic and excitement, was one of immense attractiveness to people of a lively disposition, to put it mildly,in defer- ence to the middies who were certainly the attrac- tion par excellence; and if the domestic and public bubbub which is already making sad havoc here with the general peace of mind be a criterion of the bruliancy of the coming season, what on earth will become of the cadet corps, or at least of the ladies who come here to see and be seen’ Can any- body answer, or will anybody be answerable for the @readiul consequences? THE GRADUATING CLASS. It is neediess for me to state that the attraction ‘this year, in the absence of all midshipmen, will be, in a female point of view, at least, the graduating @lass. This class entered tae Academy in 1665, with seventy-four members all told, and it now only numbers thirty-nine, thanks to the extensive “weed- ing” which is practised by the professors at every annual examination of the fourth, third and second elagses. This decrease in numbers from its entry, however, redounds more to the merit than otherwise of the present members, as every one can understand who is aware that those who fall by the way in the onward march from plebeship to the “wearing of the bine” are but the drones and stupids who have not ‘the strength or the will to toil on up the diMcult ascent to the glorious end. ‘The following are the names of the members of the class in the order of merit 1p ‘which they were classed after the examination last June:— — : H |} ——-— j| Date og Names.

At large. Wis.....[July 1, A MILITARY NECESSITY, ‘There is nevertheless one thing about the clas which seems rather nurtful to its proficieucy, and ae evidence of which may ibiy be given at e exatminalion, notwithstanding the hopes that are entertained by its friends that it will surpass all its predecessors in point of merit. You are doubtiess aware that heretofore the lucky fellows who graduated among the first five ‘were always made officers in the engineer corps, and ever since the “star” custom was catablished, up to a short time ago, to be of this five was the greatest ambition of every cadet who ever had any pretension of standing among the leaders of his class. To have suggested to one of these expectants the possiniilty of his joining the artillery or the cavalry branch of the service would have been a very serious affront. Why , he had the most sovereign contempt for both. True, the prospect of a command of a battery of siege guns, or a squadron of cavalry, at no distant future, certainly its attractions; but what was that to be compared with the diguity of being an en- gineer officer, who is generally supposed to have such @ nice time of it, in forming stockades, throw- ing or dismantling pontoon bridges, or constructing field fortifications, works of siege and the like, be- sides getting better pay than any other officer of his rank in the army? And the class of 1869 had its expectant five when it entered the Academy, and even up to a few short montis ago, just as every other class had before. it, ‘and it certainly had the same dislikes if it had the same aspirations. but the reorganization of the army nipped the latter in the bud, and by the clause that followed every nook and every corner im the engineer and ordnance corps was filled. There now remains no vacancy in either branch, and the pros- pect is that tuere will be none for years to come. | It ‘will thus be seen that the only branches open to the graduates this year are the artillery and cavalry, and the poor fellows who have all along been work- ing so hard to become engineers must needs gulp down their dislikes with as pleasant @ face as pos- sibie, and, if that will console them any, mourn in- ‘wardly over the ill-fated star that doomed them to ‘West Point a year too late to suit their ambition, I may here remark that the reorganization of the aruy, Which has caused such a downfall of long treasured hopes in the graduating class, is a subject antmadverted upon in the moat savage manner by many of the army officers whom LT have spoken to on the subject here, Their rage at the scheme which turned out of the army men who had been educated to the art of war, and who bad served in tue army for twenty or more years, knows no bounds. They do not complain of the reorgani- zation so mitch a8 that, in the carrying out of its details, coumands of regiments were given to men ‘Who commenced their soldier life only at break- Ing ont of the late war, to the exclusion of those ‘Who had entered the army at West Point when mere boys and uad adopted the life as @ profession. Strange to say, they do not blaine General Grant for tie manner in which the change was made; and, although they do not, or dare not, say 80, I believe Geueoral Sherman is the moan who in their heart of hearts they consider be a te of the change of base, ‘With the “expectants” of the corps of cadets and a majority of the officers in & huff over the rt ged tion one can easily imagine the delightful state of the military feeling here on t THE COMING rn ‘Will undoubtedly be @ brilliant one.

A word to the wike is sulicient. THE CANVASS IN ViRG Position of the Conservatives—Interviews with Grant—Dissatisfaction with His Course Loss of Popularity Among the Virginians— Who wiil be Chosen Governor t—Negroes Coming to Congress from Several Districts. WASHINGTON, May 22, 1869. The political situation in Virginia is becoming very iuteresting, and the canvass is being actively prosecuted, The points of struggie are the consti- tution, the State ticket for Governor and other offices, the Legislature, and, lastly, members of Con- gress. In respect to the first there was a general | expectation by the people that General Grant would avail himself of the authority conferred by the law of Congress to give them a separate vote on the county organization system. This expectation was based upon General Grant’s emphatic declaration last winter to the committee of nine that this system ‘was the worst feature of the constitution, he pro- ceeding to give his reasons for this opinion. The late conservative Convention at Richmona, regard- ing the President as committed to this position, withdrew their party candidates and were generally disposed to regard the President as liberal and friendly. They appointed a committee to wait upon him in refergnce to the submission of the consti- tution, but it was some time before they reached Washington, ‘The first mterview with him in behair of this organization was that of Mr. L. Q. Washington, who stated by request the points on which a separate oath was desired, in addition to the disfranchise- ment and test oath clause, These were the county organization system and the clause denying the Legislature any power to pass a stay law. In re- Spect to the last the President expressed no opinion, butin regard to the former said that he had been looking over the constitution, and found that to strike out the couuty system would endanger the schoo! system. He was here informed that the con- servatives did not oppose an educational system by the lature, and did not ask any vote on the =s he coustitution which provided for it; but hey were averse to the provision which allowed counties aad districts where negroes largely prepon- derated to lay heavy additional taxes upon property. The President reiterated tus general objections to the county system, declaring it to be unsuited to Virginia, however well adapted to Massachusetts, Oo or the northern part of Iilinots. In the course of the conversation he spoke with ened confidence of the speedy restoration of irginia to prosperity, and of the great natural advantages and resources of the State. In refer- ence to the clause denying the lature any power to pas a stay law, it was w at this in- terdict was not usual; that it was @ proper subject for the I. jature to act on, subject to judicial re- view, and that the general indebtedness of the farmers, consequent upon a failure of crops and the depressed condition of industries, made such a temporary measure of relief almost indispensable. The impoverished condition of the people was strongly presented, and the President listened with interest to the whole exposition of the subject. ‘Tne next day a committee arrived, headed by Mr. Jonn RK, Edmunds, a prominent Virginia statesman, who also had @ private interview with the President, In this interview Mr. Edmunds, being informed of what had already occurred, judged it best to make only one request in behalf of the Virginia pie— viz, an Opportunity for a separate vote dn the county and local organization system—leavii intact, however, each and all the clauses which relate to tue school system on which the President had inststed. In this interview the President again stated that the question was still to be determined, said that ic would be settled that day, retterated his objections to the county organization and his dim. culty about the school question, but assigned no other reason ior refusing a chance to the people to vote itout, The committee made a most earnest appeai jor this vote, and having «distinctly proposed to leave in every clause Which had any relation to the school aystem they stll hoped tuat President Grant would give it tothem,. The President told the commitiee that i was not his business to make a constitution for the State of Virginia; but the Vir- coger say that ati they ask is aa opportanity tor he people to vote Whether or not @ particular sys- tem should be part of their constitution. They object to this sysiem as largely Increasing the number of officers, and thereby saddling them ta tueu impoverished condition with au expeuse they are notable to bear. Also that in counties where the negroes bey re J preponderate they will fil the magistracy and local ofices, and thus hoid the tives and property of the whites at their mercy. At the Cabinet council held after this last inter- view the form of subuniseton of the constitution was discussed at length, and much division of opinion prevailed. The final determination was, however, entirely adverse to the request of the conservatives. The people are allowed to vote on the disfranchise- ment and test oath separately, but not on the county system or the stay law clause. The result is ter feeling of disappointment. The conservatives think that General Grant has surrendered to the ultras, and (hey complain that he jas failed to stand to his own position. Acting upon his frank and ex- licit declarations to Mr. Stuart and some twenty irginians last winter, that he was opposed to this ruinous county organization, they proceeded to com- ultras, headed by Extra Billy Smith, in the Virginia Convention, defeated them after a hard struggie, aad finally took out of the fleid the conservative party ticket. They were tryin to act upon # lime in accordance wit! General Grant's known views, and to get others todo so. This result puts all moderate men ata disadvantage In their contests with the ultras, and has created a very painful impression ali over the State, A few days ago there were ali the materials of @ respectable Grant party in Virgmia, and there ‘was a growing feel for him of conndence and re- spect, This feeling has been almost wholly dissi- pated, and the people feel now that they have greatly overrated General Grant’s good will for them. But this disappointment, while very acceptabie to the Wells Fie! and the carpet-paggers, will not seriously change the tendency of public opinion. Governor Weils having been forced by stress of weather to give up the est oath and disfranchise- ment, there will be an overwhelming vote against those provisions. On the existing registration the whites have a majority of some 14,000, which will be doubled by the new registration. The vote on tne constitution removing all disfranchisement for suf- frage will increase the white majority to 40,000 and upward. This is death to the carpet-ba and m supremacy, who at the most can only prolong their power in localities by the county organization. Mr. Waiker, the rival repubtican candidate for Governor to Wels, advises the acceptance of the constitution, with the test oath and d Achisement stricken out. He thinks it better to secure the State Executive and Legisiature and to amend hereafter. it is believed that Walker will beat Wells by from 30,000 to 40,000 oe ‘The ublicans Sustaining Walker claim they will be ableto poll’ a eo Lt 34 vote. ant de 1 Logisiature te a int of struggle, as it will ‘have to choose two.

The Position of the United Stutes Twenty -Vears Ago. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22, 1869. A very slight examination of precedents in the history of our own government will enable one to see that Ben Butler, and not Charles Sumner, has hit upon the right ground of complaint against Eng- land for her conduct during the existence of the late Southern rebellion. Sumner holds that England was culpable in according land or ocean belligerency to the Confederates, particularly in such great haste, while Butler seizes the British bull right by the horns and declares that he don’t complain because bellige- rent rights were grauted amonth, a week, @ Gay, or @ minute after the breaking out of the rebellion, but because England, finding us in a great peril, took advantage of our embarrassing position to de- Stroy us as a great nation. In other words, Butler's idea is that England sought not merely to recognize a people struggling for independence (her right to do which, under the law of nations, cannot be disputed), but deliberately conspired, by affording material aid and comfort to our enemies, w cripple us commer- cially and politically, and, if possible, sweep out of existence her only great national rival. ‘This view ofthe case, tested by the light of historical prece- dents, seems to be the only one that can be matn- tained with consistency by our government. As Butler properly remarks, it saves us from the neces- sity of repudiating our repeatedly expressed views, and enables us to stand up with dignity to our old principles. In point of fact we have, in our dealings with other nations, contended for the right to do pretty much the same things as those assumed on principle by England to be her right in her dealings with the United States during the late rebellion. One ilustration is as good as twenty, and [ need go no further back than 1850 to find one apt to the purpose, At that time Old Zack Taylor was in the Presidential chair, and took it into his head to send a@special agent to Vienna, charged with tng duty of investigating the resources and prospec® of the Hungarian revolution, with a view to an early recognition of the independence of Mungary and the formation of commercial relations with her. Mr. A. Dudley Mann was the person chosen for this delicate mission. It was mtended wo be entirely a secret mission, but somehow or other it got to the Ano wiedke of the Austrian government, and a little aiplomatic rumpus was the result. The Chevalier J. G, Hulsemann was at the time Austrian Charge d’ Affaires in this country, snd was promptly directed to make ‘confidential and pressing representations” to our government aiust the Lg eg | of the Mann mission and all {nterterence in the domestic aitaira of the Austrian empire. The diplomatic cor- respondence which resuited must be tolerably fresh in the recollections of the public. Hulsemann apoled to Mr. Clayton, the then Secretary of State, and. was assured that the only object of the Mann mission was to obtain reliable information regarding the Hungarian revo- lution. President Taylor soon after died, Fillmore became President and Daniel Webster Secretary of State, Hulsemann and his tmperial master, not satis- fled with the Clayton explanation, reopened a cor- ondence with our government on the subject, and Hulsemann, in a letter to Mr. Webster bearing date September 30, 1850, made a very pointed rs test against the Mann mission, which he believed to be an unwarranted interference in the affairs of Austria, Mr. Hulsemann in this letter called atten- tion to the published instructions of Mr. Mann, which he declared in diplomatic lan, e, let the cat com- pletely out of the bag by sho’ that the intention Of our government was to ize the Hungarians and treaties of commerce and friendship with them. He complained also of the language used in describing Austrian sway a8 an “iron ruie’’ over Hungary, and found fault because Kossuth was characterized as an “illustrious man.” ‘To this letter Mr. Webster replied some two months later, discussing pretty freely the subject of the right of an independent nation to belligerent rights to revolutionists and making several points that may be studied with advantage by some of our pubis men of the present day. The letter is too lengthy to reproduce in extenso in a correspondence like this, but I believe a few extracts will not be in- appropr te at this time, when so much is sald and written ut the subject of belligerent rights. In one part of the letter Mr. Webster uses the following language :— In the course of the year 1948 and in the early part of 1849. considerable number of Hungarians came to the United States, Among them were individuals representing them- selves to be in the confidence of the revolutionary govern- ment, and by these persons the President was strongly urged to recogntae the existence of that government. In these ap- ications and in the manner in which they were viewed y the President there nothing unusual; still jes was there anything unauthorized by the law of natious. Tt m the right of every independent State to enter into | friendly relations with every other independent State. Of of prudence naturally arise in reference to ght by succesaful revolutions into the family ations; but it fs not to be required of neutral powers that | ‘should awalt the recognition of the new government by the parent State. No principle of public law has been more frequently noted upoa within the last thirty years, by the cou uestions of tew hates rou of the world than this. Within that period eight or ten new States have established independent govern- ments within the limits of the colonial dominions o: on this continent; and in Europe the same thing has done by Belgium and Greece. ‘The existence of ali thes governments was recognized by some of the leading powe! of Ewrone, as well as ‘by the United Stat states from which they , therefore, the United States had as formally to acknowledge the independence of Hungary, although, as the result lias proved, it would bave been a pre cipitate step, and one from which no benent would have resulted to either party, it would not, nevertheless, have beew an act against the law of natious, provided they took no part in her coutest with Austria, Again, in another part of his letter, Mr. Webster slates (nat With reapect to the communication of Mr. Mann's instruc tions to the Senate, and the language in which they are couched, it has already been said, and Mr. Huisemann must feel the justice of the remark, that there are domestio affairs | in reference to which the government of the United States cannot admit the slightegs responsibility to the government of his Imperial Majesty. No State deserving the appellation of independent car permit the Ianguage in which itimay instruct ite own officers in the discharge of thetr duties to fiself to be called in question, under any pretext, by a foreign Power. ‘These two extracts will suffice to show what was the recognized policy of our government nearly | twenty years ago in regard to belligerency, and fur- ter that what we then contended for ts pretty much | the same tning which, according to Suummner’s idea, We ought to make our chief ground of complaint against Great Britain to-day. Mr. Sumner also holds that English statesmen were culpabie in expressing sympathy for the South- ern rebels in and out of Parliament. During the Hungarian revolution Mr. Webster aid quite as bad a thing when he inage a public speech in the pre- sence Of Kossuth encouraging the Hungarian rebels and proposing @ toast for their speedy emancipation from Austrian rule. When Chevalier Hulsemann, tp & letter to Mr. Webster, complained of this action as an official impropriety, what was Mr. Webster's reply? Did he not boldly and sharply snub the Aus- trian representative and tell iim in effect (uat what he said or did as a private citizen was none of bis luisemann’s) business? ‘The official record’ will r mie out, The correspondence that occurred be tween Mr. Webster and Chevalier Hulsemann on that subject is not very lengthy and wil come in appro- priately at this time, It is a4 follows: ANN'A LETTER To WENO ATION, , 02.

If those communications are friendly in their character the foreign government has no Fight or reason to Snfer that there is. any insincerity in then ‘or to point to other matters as showing the real sentiments of the government. You will see from the Chevalier Hulsemann's note that he made an appeal to the President against what he calls news. paper, iwproprieties and unofleial remarce of the head of is department. The President, actuated by benevolent desire to preserve unimpaired the friendiy re.ations between the two governments, waived ceremony and unofficially listened to his remarks. In pursuing this course, however, he by no means intended to allow the Chevalier Hulsemann fo suppose that he was not well aware of his ot position The Chevalier Hulsemann should know that # Char Affaires, whether regularly commissioned or acting witho sich cominission, can hold oilicial intercourse only with the Department of State. He has te rebut even to converse with the President on matters of business, and may consider It as a liberal courtesy that be is presented to him at all. I take it for granted that I you should. imagine the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs had offended you you would claim no right of appeal to the Emperor. Although usually we are not rigid in these matters, yet a marked disregard of ordinary forms implies disrespect to the government itself. Here, then, we observe that Webster snubbed Hylsemann most pointedly, because he complained of a pro-Kossuth speech made while he (Webster) ‘was actually Secretary of State. By the rule of con- sistency we have no right to complain of speeches made by public men in and out of Parliament, and im point of fact we would not be justified in finding fault had the British Premier, at a public dinner tn honor of the rebel commissioners, toasted the speedy success of the Southern conlederacy. CRITICISMS ON SUMNER’S SPEECH. It is not to be denied that while the great mass of the American public has been captivated by Sum- ner’s great speech on the Alabama claims, still there are many—and men of the first calibre—who declare that they cannot make out exactly what the Massa- chussetts Senator wants. His speech, to them, ap- pears to be a mere rhetorical flourish. A good many such people are to be found in this city, some of them occupying high official positions. “If sum- ner’s speech means anything,” say they, “it means war; and yet the Senator distinctly dis- clains a desire for any such calamity. What does he want, then? desire to inflame the public mind England and America? His speech certainly is not calculated to hasten a settlement, and unless he wants us to enforce what he calls the American idea vi et armis, what is the use of taking of de- manding an apology from a proud nation, and a ment for past, present and prospective injuries our people? Such blustering talk only lowers us in the opinion of foreigners and damages our cause correspondingly.” sd One gentleman here sums up his view of Sumner's speech thus:— Sumner reminds me of a big bully who has heen insulted, and goes to his affronter for satisfaction. “Sir,” says Sum- ner, “you have insulted me and I demand an apology.” “Very well,” says the affronter, ‘but what if I don't apolo- ze--do you want to fight, then?” “Oh, no,” says Sumner, T don't want to fight, but T want you to know you have in- sulted me.” “Is that all! says the affronter. “Yes, sir, M1,” says Sumner. is ‘ask you, now, if this is not exactly the position in which Sumner would piace us by attempting to carry out the views expressed in his speech. If you ask these critics of Sumner what they them- selves want they answer that the proper course for our government to pursue 1s to make a demand for the immediate payment of the actual losses sus- tained by our people Psp rt upon the hostile position assumed by England curing our domestic troubles, and, that being refased, to withdraw our Minister from the Court of st. James, and either de- clare war or bide our time until England fluds her “dimcuity,’? and then pay her back in her own coin. ‘This ia further than either Sumner or Butler would pears, has yet to learn that or its thin | red under the circumstances, strugg) to free themselves from oppressive rule, but that, In the language of Ben Butler, her real ob- Turther negotiation? Why not say what we mean boldly, and why not act up to what we say, as be- comes & and powerful nation? Summed up in afew words, this is what tne bulk of the anti-Sum- ner folks suggest as the proper mode of dealing with this troublesome question. Bui there is another class of anti-Samner- ites who hold that he has misstated facts, and that for the purpose of gaining popu- larity he hag not hesitated to saddie a re- sponsibility upon England which properly flows from the action of our own government. These people contend that the loss of our commerce is not doe to the rebel pirates fitted out in England, ana that It is a confession of cowardice to declare that our vast commerce could be driven from the seas by a few privateers bearing the flag of the coniederacy. Our commerce was gradually decreasing before the breaking out of the rebellion at all, owing to the want of proper legislation—a want which was caused by the foolish jealousy of the Western politicians, who opposed any Congressional action calculated to benefit New York and the great commercial cites of the North. Due allowance should be made for that fact, say these people, and England should be only blamed for that wherein she has reaily sinned. THE PENNSYLVAVIA COAL TRADE. The Bogus Strike Virtually Ended=Half a Million ‘Tons Surplus—uch Lower Prices Predicted. {From the Pottsville Miners’ Journal (in the interest of the large operators), May 22.) ‘The quantity sent irom Scbuyikii county this week i ) tons, by rudroad, against 106,455 tous for the corresponding week last year. ‘The suspension was total in Schuylkill county, and only about 14,000 tons were sent from the Lehigh regioa last week, and the quantity sent tus Week Was, no doubt, considerably josa, the reports of which will appear in our next, While the suspension here was total and almost total in the Lehigh regions aud also in the Shamokin re- giou, except for coal going West,the cempanies in the Wilkesbarre basin continued and shipped the usual supply to market, Many of the individual operators aiso suspended im the Wyoming region, but a tele- gram siates that several have resumed work im the lower end of the basin again, because te men em- ployed by the companies did hot suspend. This, of course, Virtually breaks up @ general suspension, and the question now 18, what will the other re- gions do in the preseut state of the market? Seluyl- kill and Lehigh has suspended ueariy two weeks, and the surplus m the market has oaly been reduced Tons. 40 irom the Wighest point as follows:— May 8, excess over lasi year Reanction last two weeks Surpins............ ‘ Still leaving a surpius afler ® suspension of nearly two week: also be recollected that the trade was susp weeks last year, commencing the first week in July in Schusikill county, and the supply in the ma at the time was about 690,000 tons. When the ship ments Were resumed this surplus wasall withdrawn, and the supply was about 45,000 tons short of the supply in 1867, 1b 1s now evident that the Schuylkill and Lehigh would have to suspend almost for a period of four weeks more to reduce pius that would be thrown Into the market. This Sehuyikill cannot and will not do, and thas bear the whole burden, as she did last year, by which mi. lions were put tito the pockets of those who worked on. This i the state of the trade now, and the question naturally aries, what ts wo be done’ At present there 13 no market for the coal, and one Week's work would send the prices down at jeast a dollar a ton, and wages, & ust partake of the decline. Even then our collieries could not be worked much more than half time unless the carry- ing interests unite with the operators in a reduction of rates to enable Schuyikill county to recetve her share of the business. We have not learned what course the Miners’ Asso- clation propose taking under existing ciream- stances. Une thing is certain, the suspension has failed to become general owing to the control of the mining and carrying companies, and it cannot be organized again because the Wyoming interest seem to have impressed the miners with the idea that they will derive no benefit from ihe suspension, but that it will iiure only to the benefit of those in the other fons, hence their aetvermination not vo unite in this measure under such circumstances. The only way now is for ail interests to look the matter full in the face and adopt the most expedient measures to relieve themselves from the present diMicuities; operators, miners and carriers are equally interes! in its solution. A different policy might have been productive of different results, ‘but we must take things as they are and act accordingly. ‘tie NewBuRYrorT “Fire-Bue” Case.—Leonard Choate’s tial for incendiarism in Keyes) which was to have been held at the Superior ‘ourt, now sitting there, waa, on Saturda: tponed un- til next October term, at Lawrence. iis, Counsel made a long plea in favor of a change, on the ground that influences in Newbur; were against their cheat, and Judge Lord wrantat thelr quest.

Its wings rest upon the two seas, with bases of supplies at Bombay and Calcutta. Its sentinels never sleep ana the thunder of its march will soon awaken the echoes of the Vale of Cashmere. And this power is steam. Another great power is gathering in the north; its base of supplies ig Moscow and its destination the Pacific Ocean— China if it can, India if it must. It cannot be many years before the master of the land and the mistress of the seas will meet in the valley of Cashmere to con- tend for the mastery of Asia, and then the shock will shake the Himalayas.

The tower is supposed to be 700 years old and was erected by @ rajab at the request of a favorite daugh- ter who desired to ascend as near heaven as possi- bie in order that her prayers might be heard. There are many other legends, but tis is probably as truthful ‘as any and pieased me best. Near this tower is an iron pillar sixteen inches in diameter and fify feet high. The Hindoo legend about the pillar is that one of the rajahs, dreading the fall of his dynasty, consulted the Brahmins as to what means could be adopted to insure its perpetuity. He was told that i he would sink an tron shatt into the ground and pierce the head of the snake god, who supported the world, his kingdom would endure torever. Tue column was accordingly constructed and sunk into the earth to the depth of twenty-six feet. The King ‘Was not satisfied that the iron had pierced the ser- pent’s head, and, contrary to the advice of the priests, had the shaft raised. To the consternation of the King and the surprise of the priesis, the end of the shalt was Jound covered with blood; a sacrilege had been commuitied by the Hindoo king, and the biood of the snake god was upon his head, He ordered the pillar to be again tuserted in the ground, but the suake god this ume made his escape and turned the furies of the serpeut worship against tue King.

The audience hall of the great Mogul was of white marble, iniaid with vines, flames, beasts and birds in precious stones, and the roof was fligree work of siiverand gold. The peacock throne was composed of solid gold, inlaid with precious stones, the peacock’s feathers being imitated by jewels. 1t Was surmounted by a gold canopy supported by twelve gold pillars; a fringe of pearls hung around the canopy. Umbrellas of crimson velvet em- brotdered with pearls and studded with diamonas rested upon golden handles on each side of ce throne, symbolizing royalty.
