BENARES, Oct, 14, 1869. ‘Thanks to the railroad the five hundred and oda mile that le between Calcutta and Benares can now be waversed in a little more than twenty-four hours, and the journey, for Inaia, Is not an unpleasant one. Starting by the night express from Calcutta, in Baeieeping carriage, which, though scarcely up to te American standard of comfort, is suficiently sonyouient to make a night’s reat a possibility, one Teaches Jumalpore by nine o'clock the following Qwraing. And then® hard day’s travelling lands you at seven o’clock in the evening at what the rail- road company are pleased to term Benares, though the city itself is on the opposite side of the river Ganges, Tlie heal through the hours on either side of noon 13 of course almost ins@¥erablé, and the track seons a great deal more dusty thau any over ‘which one has ever been whirled before; but are not Beat and Gust part aud parcel of the India which Americans come here to see? The @ountry throngh which one passes 1s fat gad monotonous, but the thickness of the popula- ton and the extreme novelty of the objects that dot me lundscape savo it irom belng uninteresting. Every mile or two one rolis by a hamlet of mud- houses, hutdied together im a confused mass, that knows neither streets nor garaens; thougt it may perhaps boast the possession of @ dilapidated, ‘Woather-stalned mosque, of small dimensions, and surmounted with tho usual three orthodox-shaped cupolas, or a yet more diminutive Hindoo shrine, dis- mal with the vestiges of tawdry decoration, that scores of yoars age lost the brightness of its coloring. Here and there may be scen the decaying dwelling Of some patiye landowner, or, in striking contrast to it, the trim bungalow of an oficial commissioner or collector. The land is mostly mapped out by tlic ridges of mud into rice fields, but patches of Judian corn or a few acres of Jute or whoat are not wufrequent. All the time the track of the railroad never strays far from the course of tie river, and Qt interva’s one gots a view of a long reach of the Ganges whose yellow waters are bearing iazily sloug seores of native cralt, with square sails Of brown or Stay or white, as the case may be.

The mail boatis only a small native dingy, and, if asked in time, the men are only too giad’to earn an extra rupee by carrying @ passenger. From November to April, in te dry season, there is a bridge of boats across the fiver, and the passage 15 thea, of course, a matter of no dificalty. The holy city of Bonares ts altogether distinct from the pleasant little suburb of Secrole, some three or four miles distant from it, in whicn all the Europeans of the station reside, and in which stands the oniy hotel where a wurcpean traveller can find Qccommodation. Secrole is not unlike the best quarier of asmall American city, lis sireets are wide and have an abundance of trees, and th e civil omices and the church are of a very familiar type. Of the hotel and the “Baboo"? who keeys it some thing will be said at the ead of this letter, A first view of Kenares should always be taken from the river, and there are few who can gaze upon the iine of temples, mosques and palaces stretching for two miles along the cllif that forins tho rignt bank of the Ganges at thia poimt without fooling something very much akin to enthusiasm.

It is a positive fact, which only 4 philosophical student of natural Listory can delight in, that Indian monkeys, sacred ones at any raie, entertain towards the Caucasian race the same malice that lurks im the hearts of Indian men, while they take still less pains to conceal it, But there ts this advantage in their hatred, that they do not dare to venture near you, and you leave them intact and whole in person and property.

THE LATE 1GWA TRAGEDY. nena eS ReaaeS Mystery Surrounding the Murder of the Three Childrom=The Mothers Insanity—Her Per- eonal History and Present Conditi The Chicago Evening Journ publishes the follow- {ng additional facts vearing on the receut horror in the town of Eden, lowa:— At the house of Clark were the parenta of the miss- Ing woman and sone tew friends—tue former suifer- ing the greatest agony of spirit, the ialter uylug lo soothe the anguish—when the ‘missing Woman sud- denly walked in and asked for her baby. Where did she come from? Four days had now elapsed since the slaughter. The country bad been searched with the closest care, ‘Two hundred meu had been stratn- ing eyea aud muscles im tne search without apy result, She certainly had not been far away. Her clothes were not soiled in the least. No marks of violence were found on her person. Where had sie beent In the morning @ close examimation of the straw stack, which the writer had before examined, ‘nd which provably 600 men nad searched, and into which tron rods had been run, disclosed the hiding place of the Woman. Still there is a mystery Bur- rounding the affair, The woman ts crazy how. She calls for ber baby and saya, “tie wili kill it—he said he would!” She was ravenously hungry when suo came into the house, eating everyting she could lay her hands on, {tis altogether jikely that she did the deed aud secreted herseif. But that concluston has some strong evidence to overcome, Why should ghe kill the dog? Besides, if she killed tt before the children were murdered, she must have walked from her wootpiie, south of the house, to the dog, West of the house, aud killed it; or, uf alter the mur- der of the children sie must have carried the axe ous, Killed the dog and then carried it back and Jaid in on the bed, And wiy did she make her prepara- tions for breakfast? Wouid she have done this If sho was insane? And so there are many things that look very 1mprohable but still are possipie. Lf sue Tegaing her mind the truth may ve ascertained. If tere 13 @ gane fiend that has commitved the deed It 4s to be hoped that he wiil be brougit to justice, A Correspondent of tho Davenport (Iowa) Demo- orat, writing from Sauk Coutre, lowa, November 7, Bayg:s— ® * ‘The excitemont continues unabated aud the mys- tery as impeneirabie as ever. Since the return of the mother, although it is thought more than prob- able that she comiitted the threefold murder while in 4 state of raving lunacy, ana the slaughter of the house dog, which wouid naturally follow her, seems to corroborate tiis opinion, nothing definite can bo upon.

Clark is a3 follows:— In 1865, in Missouri, she married Aloert Clark, much against the wishes of her parents, they look- ing upon Albert as a poor farmer, who could not give their daugiter the com/soris she had been raised to expect, Since thelr marriage she has given birth to three children, the oldest, Charley, being four years of age; the second, Franky, two yeurs, and the baby, Joy Nora Velma, but three montis old, In giving birth to the last mentioned child Mra. Clark suttered considerably, and since tven sno has been trouvied With frequent fits of depression and despondency. Much circumstantial evidence points vo her as the guilty party, and aimost every porsoa sa.d unhesi- me that sue was the murderess, As soon as Possible Squire Webber held an inquest over the three dead bodies, and the verdict was that the culidren came to their death by an axe in the hands of their mother, Mrs, Mary Clark. When, on Friday night, Mra. Clark came into the room where tie two men sat watching it was no- ced that there was blood on her jefe arm, ier friends, however, expiain this fact by saying she had been presented with a piece of fresh beef by the Woiman wiom sbe had been visiting, and that she more than likely carried the same home on her arin. Evideutiy she bad not veen far from tue house, Her shoes wero clean, her dress had not been torn, though it was covered with straw and chai. To every one it 18 @ matter of surprise how she couid have hidden herself so securely. Since her returo sie has spoken but very ititle, but was heard to say “Listen, listen! Do yon hear Rei Do you hear that dog! te’s aot barking. He's owling. Evidently in her insanity she imagines herself in Great danger. she fears wome man. She said: “tush, Charley, don’t wake Franky; that man’s coming.” Another time she said:—‘) must get up and dress for his coming.’’ At another, ‘Ihere’s that man again.’ Once during the night, while we two men were watching her, they having piaced a wet cloth on her head, it slipped down over her eyes. inatantiy she sprang up inthe ved, and at tue Lop ot her voice shouted, ‘Are you going to bitud me, too, and then tie me? Oh, my poor cuildren |’? Before ieaying | looked over the apartment where the awful deed was perpetrated, ‘The houso was a simall log one, Weathervoarded on the outside, with three Togas on the ground door and two rooms in the loft avove, The room where the murder was committed 1g quite plainly furnished.
