Acorre iponilen', of nn Indian paper
describes a ceremony which took phico I
at Kaiigoon. It hceins that in n re
cent eirthquuko tho bird's wing of
gold unci precious stones crowning
the great lUngoon pagoda was thrown
down nnd injured.
Tho trustees of tho building called
on the people for subscriptions for a
new ono, nnd in threo weeks a sum of
nboiit Hl.tKK) rupceet wns collected. It
was notified that tho melting of tho
gold and silver would tako place and
that it would be tho last opportunity
of contributing, hi ono of the largo
rooms of tho .uigoda two largo cruci
bles , wero placed, one for gold, tho
other for silver. Hundreds of men
and women, girls boys aid small chil
dren passed by, dropping their silver
or gold ornaments into tho crucibles,
or handing their precious stones to the
clerk for tho purpose of being set in
the bird's wing. Women gaylv
dreised and covered with jewels
panted by, and, taking a couple of
gold bangles from each nrm, throw
them into the not, or tlicy toon oir
rings, and, handing tho stones to the
clerk, added the gold to tho melting
mass. Those who had no gold put ru
tiCii coins into the silver crucibles nnd
handed over others to tho clerk for
tho use of thepagoda; even the beg
gars canio and added their mites.
All parted with their treasuro with
out a sigh, and, in fact, seemed glad
togivo it for such' a devout purpose.
All their good deeds aro so many
rungs niounteil on tlio ladder towards
heaven. 'The Shans went in a body of
twenty men ami presented a diamond
weighing seventy-live carats, which
is to bo placed us tho chief ornament
ill the wing. Tho silver melted
amounted to 7,!5SO ruiiees, that collect
ed to 3,523 rupees- tho gold melted to
KJ.SOO rupees, nnu tho precious stones
given wero valued ct zU.OOO runccs.
Tho wing that fell down was valued at
122, 50(1 ruK.es, and tho one to replace
it will no worthuu.uuu rupees.

of tho same pagoda (the Sha w-da-goan)
is fcakl to have cost King Mindino Min
six lacs of rupees. It is of pure gold,

ent elevation it does not seem two

self, ibis is a great uabylonl indeed

In London, in Rome or in Vienna.
This corner is a trifle larger in propor

But this is not the immorality of

courtesan, and no more sensible and
charming person than -the Parisian
woman. Tlio two exist in two dis

We have, at tho outside, J.000 or

a largo number, but only think
