gree. No trace of paralysis made its appearance in the limb& 
struck by the lightning ; the wounds were cicatrized in the space 
of a few weeks. 
Dr Tilesius having seen Dr Bauer, the physician of the bro- 
thers Teele, a year after the accident (which took place in May 
1821), received from him the following information. The elder 
has remained somewhat dull of hearing, more or less so, accord-

and would often remain 24 hours together asleep, were he not 
wakened. The younger has latterly had an inflammatory fe-

w T hich was before unknown to him. In general, it has had a 
much greater influence upon the nervous system of the two bro- 
thers than might have been presumed from the vigour of their 
constitution. The cicatrices of the wounds now present, in se- 
veral places, the appearance of the turns of a screw.

the pay of His Highness the Nizam, which I had overtaken 
during my journeying. Whilst engaged in common-place con- 
vervation with their leader, a Duffadar, who was armed cap-a- 
pee, with quilted jacket, Damascus blade, spear, shield, and 
what not, — our discourse was interrupted, upon emerging from 
the shaded and gently ascending path along which our road lay, 
by our approach to a low and lengthened mound, the summit of 
which having been attained, a most romantic and interesting 
spectacle was presented to us. 
Beneath our feet, and at the bottom of a mighty chasm, lay 
a deep still lake, the waters of which were slightly ruffled by 
the breeze, and beautifully tinted by the rays of the setting
