In a'.I tho lUhlo this is the only l> >ok in which the word India occurs, hut ti si : nds for a ri'uliu "f vast Interest in the time of Katiier, im in our time. It yield?*l then an now. spicea ami silks and cotton and it?;c ami Indigo and ores of all ri h Xu'iui and precious stones of nil sparkle .? and hid a civilization of i's own an marked an I'Jir.vpthVn or (Srcclnn or lt> man civilization. It IioIiIh tin* costliest tombs fver built and I ho most ? and wondorful idolatrous temple ever opened. For practical lesson# in this mm ,/>flxth dlKcomrso in round the world /rlcH I show you that tomb and tenijde of India. In a journey around tho world it may not ho enay to tell the exact point which * divides the pllgrlmago into halves. I'.m there was on? atructure toward whhh \Vo wpro all the tlmo traveling, and hav ing aeon that we felt that if we saw noth In# moro our expedition would he a sue eeas . That olio object waa the Taj Mahn of India. It is the crown of tho whole earth. The splr its of architecture met to ^qthrono a king, and tin* spirit of the Parthenon of Alliens wns there, and Hi spirit of St. /Hopliia of Oonnt nitinop'e waa there, afbd the spirit of St. I/.aak of St. Petersburg waa there, ami Hie Hpirit of tho lla.ptistry of Pisa wan there, and the spirits of the great pyramid, and of the Ijtixof Obelisk, mid of the l'o:c lain tower of Nankin, ami of Si. Mark'. of Venice, and the npirits of all the great towers, groat enthedrals, great mans ? lomnH, great sarcophagi, great eaplt-.N for the living and of groat necropolises for tho dead was there. Aud tlie pros I ding gonitis of the throng with gavel of Parian marble trniotc the table of litis alan malachite nnd called tho throng < f spirits to order and called for a vote as to which spirit should wear the ehlef crown nnd mount the chief throne nnd wave the chief scepter, and by unnnimous acclaim the cry was; "I,ong live the spirit of the Taj, king of all the spirit* of ;? r,<hl lecture!

Tho building in about si\* miles from AgTa, atid as we rode hut in I In- ei?rl\ dawn we heard liollilng I >u t tin* hoofs and wheels (hat pulled and turned u along the road, at every yard of which our expectation rose until we had some thought that we might l>V disappointed lit tho liixt glimpse, as some say they were disappointed. Hut how can nnj one lie disappointed with the Taj Is al moat as great a wonder in me an lie- Tai itself. There are sonie peop'e alwavs ilisa P{x?i n ted, and who knows hut that having entered heaven they may .riii ciao the arehitectui the temple and tho cut of the white polios ami nay (Iihi the river of life is not ipiite up !?> t'heii expectations, and that the white horses on wh leli the eoutpierom ride .seem n lit tle springhalt or epavlnedV 'AJy NOn.aaid, "There is it."

The prime object of the coming show is to Increase public Interest in the rawing of gs>od poultry, and to give fanciers a chance to come together and iret tho benefit of compar ing iiio.r birds. A irroat many entries have already l>oon made rof the coming show, and it promises one of the biggest gatherings of chicken u.en over hold In tho State. Tho locnj fanciers are doing everything in their power for the suc i^ess of the show, and will leave nothing undone tliat wi.i add to the comfoit find pleasure of those who attend. A vers hanjlsonte premium list has boon gotten nutj showing a big list of special pre mi tins. Among the most prominent breeders who live near the city Is Mr. I. X. Johnston, whoso poultry farms are located at hula, on the Augusta and Knoxvi-I'a Uailroad. and are said to bo the largest and liest equipped in tills see lion of the South. He breeds about forty varieties, and has over a thousand birds. There are qu.lto a number of other fanciers, among whom are Mr floor go Vordery. Capt. W. II. Warren, .lohn W. Kiliingsworth. It. A. Wain, l>r .1. 10. (Jroon, <>has. S. Bohler. T. 1. Iliclunan, C. F. I^omhajrd. A. W. \Veisl ger, .1 . II. Million. W. R1 Clark ('lias. Sylvester, IJr. J. II. Csnnichael, Col. C. II. I'hinijfr. All of these gen tloinrn aro taking n livo!y Interest in the show, nod win no doubt be represented by fomo' high scoring birds. Tho fol lowing from a prominent jHHiltry maga zine gives some idea of the benefits of poultry shows: In there is a true lover of poultry ? im proved and beautified as it is. present ing tho skill of intelligent fanciers from all walks and professions of life, steadily growing in wealth and Influence to out rank any other Industry in tho country is there a true fancier, we a?k, who has ample moans at hand to visit these aniiuaJ exhibitions, and exhibit his best productions, who will stay at home while others aro using every moans in tbolr jK>wor to support and infuse lift: into those annual reunions? Wo fear there are many who neither support the shows nor give moral aid to them in other ways. No breeder will fail to confess the value of shows to poultry breeding at large, and to the welfare and Improvement of feathered pots. Without them tho culture of fine ly bred fowls would never have attained its present success. A largo exhibition in one of tho best schools in will di to educate a beginner in poultry that can no imagined. Those who have never exhibited or attended a show can have very little Idea of tho pleasure and bene lit from such places. Year by year I best line exhibitions increase In interest. The public regards them with great in terest everywhere, and thousands avail themselves of the opportunity to visit them, and profit l>y tho interesting dis play 1>efore them. If not for those an nual exhibits, and tb.1 bringing together of the best stock in the country, and the meeting of fanciers at one central point or another, there would not bo half the zmt and pleasure in poultry keeping that there now is. The influence upon im proved poultry w beyond conception, and only by keening up tho interest by these useful displays ean we hope for perma nent success. By all moans help to sup port the shows, and if yon cannot be an exhibitor, try and bo an attendant. Yon will thus pick up many valuable points.

So long as the coun'ry was pros perous the railroads could pay the in terest on their bonds, ami Europe was sntlslled. When the pressure began in 1S90 Kurope could not spare ar.y inon-,/ money, and wanted her internal anl dividends in gold. Then, as silver con tinued to fall, the traffic from tl.e great Western "ines was reduced to a p'dnt ho low that tljey could net meet their interest accouns. and one after the ! other went into tho hands of rece' vers. I Then some experts were sent from J Eiiiglaml and (lermnny to the United I Stn (t<, and it wa.s found that a groat j many railroad companies had sold j ?bonds enough not only to pay for the . f ii ? I construction of llie roads, but to leave a margin u. the builders, besides the sock. and that it would be possb bio to duplicate the roans in some in j Malices for .r?0 per cent, of what tlm bonds had been sold fur along the line.

One cannot travel in Ireland without perceiving that the so-many-horse-power and perpetual catching-of-traius theory of Hfe is not one that Is accepted by the Irish people, and I do not think it ever will he. Their religion, their traditions, their chief occupations, their tempera ment. all of which 1 suppose are closely allied, are opposed to It. The saying, "Take it aisy, and if you can't take it aisy, take it f.s aisy as you can," doubtless represents their theory of life, and, for my part, if it were a question either of dialectics or of morals, I would so>ner Jiav<f to defend that view of existence than the so-many-horse-pow er one. So far from a wise man getting nil he can out of himself In one direction, he will, it seems to me, rigidly and oare fuTTy abstain from doing so In the Inter oats of that catholic and harmonious de velpoinont which requires thai ho get a little out of himself hi every direc tion. One would not like to asfiert that tha bulk of the Irish people are "harmon iously developed." Rut neither, if I may be permitted to say so, are the English, or tho Scotli people, and as, In reajlty, all three probably err by l,?b-?'ded activ ity or lob-sided inactivity, It still remains to bo seen ?whether too much perpefftifcl' catching of trains, or too much taving it aisy, is. on the whole, wiser courrse, and the less insane interpretation of ffil? j purport and purposes of life!?
