Out of the 97,728 despatches exchanged during the last three months of 1858, 23,728 were with Paris, and 15,409 with the thirty most important towns of France. These 15,409 despatches are divided, as to their object or nature, as follows: Private and family affairs, 3102; journals, 523; commerce and manufactures, 6132; Bourse affairs, 5253; sundry affairs, 399.
We may put their epoch well before the death of Krishna in 3102 B. C., well before the opening of the Kali-Yuga; we may say that it lasted a very long time; and be content that if all scholarship, all western and modern opinion, laughs at us now, the laugh will probably be with us when we have been dead a long time. Or perhaps sooner.
It is also believed, and has been from time immemorial, in India, that Krishna, who figures largely in the Mahabharata, died in the year 3102 B.C.; and that he was the eighth avatar of Vishnu; and that Rama, the hero of the Ramayana, was the seventh.
As soon as you touch this country, in the domain of history and chronology, you are certain, as they say, to get 'hoodooed. Kali-Yuga began there in 3102 B.C., and ever since that unfortunate event, not a single soul in the country seems to have had an idea of keeping track of the calendar. So-and-so, you read, reigned. When?
