Corespondence of the New York Observer. Letters from the Orient. BY noN. N. F. GRAVES. Lucknoio :the lmambara and its the lloseinala lmambara: tlie ZTnfinished Mosque and Tower : the Jxing's Palace ; the Elephants The lmambara is the mo3t curn ious building in Lucknow, and pcr haps in India. The gateway lead ing to this building is grand and richly decorated. Bishop Ileber, in 1S24, called it a cathedral. It has minarets and domes, and is quite unlike any ether structure. It was erected by Asjio.dowlah. He invited all the architects of the land to submit plans, but with the understanding that is should not be a copy of any other building and that it should surpass everything else in beauty and magnificence. It wa3 to have great strength, and yet be graceful and elegant. No one can say that it lalls short of the directions given to the architects. Tho foundations were laid very deep, and there i3 no woodwork in its construction. The outside walls are sixteen feet thick, of solid mas onry, and alter this lapse ot time the cement is so strong, that a stone cannot be started frcm its position with a sledue-harnmer. The grand half is 107 feet Ions and near 60 eet wide, without columns. There is a great central court, with a series of picturesque courts around, all ot tessellated marble, m the Saracenic style. Teo army made a desolation of this unique building; and now broken mirrors, gilded gates and other costly ornaments are strewn over the iloor. It is now used for an arsenal and a storci iOusc for military stores tyle is remarkable. Its The spires and domes indicate that it wa3 a temple aand a tomb. The builder of this wonderful temple is buried within its walls. It is said that the insid3 decorations surpassed, in magnificence and splendor, every other building in India, but the whole were destroyed by the troops at the taking of Lucknow. lhe name signifies a building erected by the Mohammedans of a peculiar sect for the celebration of festi vals. When this city had near a million of pjople in it, and nearly all Mohammedans, then all these grand structures were m demand; but now, when the glory ot the city has departed, with more than half of its population, there remains no longer any use ior all these public buildings. Unce there was a magnificent mosque adjoining this temple, but now it ha3 fallen to decay and disgrace and is used as a common i ail. It has strong walls and makes a safe prison, but it is a strange sight to see domes and minarets on a jail. The King of Oude had temples, mosques and country seats, so elegant that they could not be surpassed. The Iloseinaba lmambara is very beautiful. It was erected by Mahamed Ali Shah, the third King of Oude. It is not so large and never was so grand as the building above described, yet it has a sym Eictry and beauty that is unrivalled by any other here, and, in the palmy days of this gay city, was the centre of attraction. It was illuminated at night, and was sur rounded by charming grounds cul tivated as a garden and ornamented and made beautiful. The Shah caused his mother to be buried here and left a large sum of money to forever keep up the splendor of the lmambara. No public building could be complete in this country without water, and so tha Shah constructed a tank, which still re mains as a blessing in this thirsty land. The same king iad grand designs. and meant to surpass all who had lived before him in the' splendor of . . - ... .... r A ty$ public buildings.- Me commenc-. ea, a .mosque, which was intended to i surpass the J annua Ho&jid in- size and magnificence,, but-; his life was too short and his works are .unfin isned. ;': The day he 'died," the masons laid down their hammers and trowels, and the work" has. not been resumed." There it standa to 'day, with scaffolding all around it, l(ut.it is now fast going to decay. , . ilhe king had a temple tor festi vas ' and determined' 'to' .have a mosque and tower that could never, be surpassed by anothef: lie be gain, a tower called Sut'- Khunda.'- Tho plans -show; that i$ was, to.: hive sevestori&H u-oni the top ot which, thfsrmighty king could look down cn . .temple, mosque, palace, and country seats. The ,fourth story was completed, but already it is a ruin. - The king's palace, called Kaiser Bagh, was the last great work of the ex-king's reign. The building is modern and was erected in two years, which ia something very ex traordinary for India; hut he was a king, and was . not hindered or troubled by constitutions and laws, but levied and collected taxe3 ac cording to his need, and hence this wonderful palace went.' up : as by magic. It surrounded a square nine hundred by twelve hundred feet and cost between four and five millions of dollars.' The palace, it will be seen, is immense, , and no particular style of architecture is at all controlling, but seems a comv bination of every style, insomuch that it produces a very- confused impression and the points of beauty are lost. It is abundantly supplied with domes, spires, courts, terraces and fountains, and at a little diss tance looks very attractive and beautiful. The king's private room was once paved with silver, and the gate at which he entered cost a lakh of rupees (5,000) in building. The harem in this splen did palace is now turned into a club-house. We examined tha arena where wild beasts were made to fight each other. The palace occupied by the king before the erection of Kaiser Bagh, still remains, and is ' now occupied by the Post Office Department. ' It was called the Jjurhud Bus (giver of delight)' It was an extensive and costly building and the throne room was one of the finest in India, but now tho building 13 quite ordis nary. On the grounds ot the Kaiser Bagh there is a beautiful marble platform, where the king sat in the cool of the day, now the home of a Fakir, who, in rags and poverty'. has been cn the platform for years. IIq begs of every one that passes him, but day alter day and year after year, in heat and cold, re mains on the platform, it is said that he is often without food for days together, but never leaves his chosen place. We saw no place in Indie where camels and elephants are so ex tensively used as here. The gov ernment keeps about 100 elephants here for military pur poses, and it is said that it would be very difficult to dispense with them. We visited the stables where they are kept. The stable is a ten-acre lot, with stalls on every side, and t.n the centre a well, where they go to drink and wash themselves. The stalls are very large, with very smooth cement floors and without roofs. The elephants are at home in their stables. Some were eating and some were lving down, but most of them seemed very gentle, and every ono knows his own stall and be comes greatly attached to ni3 own m 111 1 home, iney are all chained to a post in their stalls, but when one is unchained he starts tor the water. He marches on to the exterilive platform at the well, and drinks and squirts water from his trunk over his back and turns round and round to have water thrown over him, and, at the mere wave of the hand of the keeper, marches for hi3 stall. These elephants are used to bring in forage from the country and carry quite a stack of hay at a load. They are also used in and about the city to transport all kinds of goods. We saw parties moving, with their cabinet ware and other good3 on the back of one of these patient and useful animals. They move off with a sort of pace at the rate of five or six miles to the hour, but can be forced to move twelve miles in an hour. An Adroit Pickpocket. A correspondent of the Kansas Times writes : On Tuesday the entire population went over to see Queen's great show and have a nice time. A young lady from across the Jersey took her suitor and an opera glass. The young lady said she thought the performance real romantic until she stopped to see the elephant. She wore one of those pockets behind, in which, besides her handkerchief, she had deposited an apple, a handful of peanuts, quarter pound of gumd vops, a bottle of ammonia and some other trifles.

The reports which have appeared of the short address cf Sir Thomas Watson on the occasion of the re cent deputation to Mr. Cross gives an imperiect idea 01 his word3 and meaning, bhort aa was his states ment, as under the circumstances was useful, it was so pregnant with meaning and will liavo ' so perma nent value that . we take an oppor tunity of presenting . the actual words : Sir My humble advocacv of this petition may bo expressed in a very few sentences. ' I must preface them by saying that, al . thougn tor muca the greater part of my long professional life I was profoundly incredulous of the per manent reformation of habitual drunkards, facts have mere reccnts ly come to myknowlcdge, which have made me an almost sanguine convert to a better hope and belief. Among habitual drukards there are many in whom, what was begun as a vice, passes into a frightful bodily ana mental disease. The irequent use of intoxicating liquors in exces3, and especially of alcoholic drinks, lead3 at length to an accumulation of the specific poison of alcohol within the system, so that the bodis ly tissues, which include the brain, becomes so impregnated, so charged with the poison, or so affected some how, as to produce a degree of craving which the unhappy dipso maniac for so he is rightly called is utterly unable to resist control. So imperative is this morbid craving that in some instances, by his own confession, he could not refrain from swallowing the customary stims ulus, even if he were certain that death would be the instant result. Now, of such persons, it is found that, if they can bo strictly debar red from all access to alcoholic drinks, they will ,snrely, though slowly, recover from this form of mania; that the incorporated poison will be gradually dislodged and . - - . . eliminated from the .system" by the silent and sole emcaoy of that ben eficent force which we medical men acknowledge so thankfully, the vis medicatrix uaturse; and the wretch ed man or woman will become once more able, and in no small percens tage of cases willing, and even anx ious, to abandon the vice which had been the first step toward tho indue tion of the maniacal disease. JS'ow, if this be so and from all that have seen and heard and read on the subject, from experience gather ed on a large scale in America, from the teachings ot some ot our own lunatic asylums, and from th testimony of private observers I am fully persuaded that it i3 so; I might even appeal on this point to some members of . the . deputation now present then I conceive that the sanctioning, by some legislative measure, of retreats and reforraato -ries, wherein, at the instance of hia relations or friends, or by his own wsih, or by the sentence of a mag istrate, such a sufferer could be legally detained for a time (which has been estimated to be between three and twelve months, though, in mp judgement, three months would be far too little, and, of course, ample provision should be made against any possible abuse of such detention), such legislative ac tion, I say, could scarcely ba re- garded as anything lesa than a national blessing.

So I told Sallie I hadn't money enough for both of us to go, but she shouldn't be knocked out f hern.

Our National Vic9. The average American spits, it is said, just as the averago crows caw, and, although the people aim so boastfully at excelling in brain culture, there seem3 to be lacking, thus far, the moral and social cul tivation necessary to shake off t.hi3 filthy habit, which is scarcely short of a national vice. In no other country civilized or barbaros, would notices requesting men 'not to spit. out of respect ' for the IadieS,' bo called for, and to our shame be it said, in no other country would this modest, reasonable request be so presistently disregarded. Nor is the nauseating practice confined to common "youtlu asserting minly freedom, but men old enough to pay for spoiled dresses are guilty of an equal disregard for others' rights and feeling3. Every woman who U3C3 to any extent public cm-. veyances can recall having her clothing soiled and every man of decent habits ha3 been sicken ed by the expectation he ha3 been unable to escape. The right of a man to spit in a public conveyance or building, at the expense of oth ers' clothing, feelings and comfort, is no greater than his right to per ioral any otaer dirty trick.
