The old and notorious swindling
Cltorponning claim is still spooking
around Washington, and t Vssn* dine*
tor of the late I-ancastor rad state con

filch half a million from the public the

pocket the greater jart of it.
How will Grant* appointee* take care
of this people's money is Again exempli
fied in the stealing of a package, a few
days ago, containing $75,000. But who

they are free to try it again. That's
what's the matter.
The Wisconsin Grangers luxe gone
hark on the regnlarly-conslituted Ufo in
surance companies, a* they think they
detect a swindle about them, and have
organised a company oftheirown. The
features of the insurance company, or
society, are in many respect* similar to
those of the Odd Fellows' Life Insurance
Company, being on the co-operative
plan. Any member of a Grange, IU
good health and under AO years of age.
is eligible to membership in the compa
ny. The fees of membership, when ad*
milled, arc: Less than X 5 year* of age.

is the limit of insurance allowed. At
the death of a member an assessment of
$1 per member is made.
It is now said by a party that has
reached the Black Hills country, that
there is no gold there; such is the dis*
patch received from the Geological Ex
pedition, which further states that the
formations thus far discovered are of re
cent geological ajre and "not aurifrroua"
Oh, my that's too bad—either the first
set that made tho "discovery" were a
set of asses, and lied out of ignorance, or
else these tatter parties are lyingin order
to discourage others from going there (
thus leaving the Black Hills a prey for
themselves. The thing may he as mys
terious as the jewell in the Beecher-
Tilton case, and somebody is lying.
The headquarters of the national
grange of the patrons of husbandry
which even since the organization of the
order in have been in Washington
will probably be removed to Louisville,
Ky., in a short time.
At the last session of the national
grange in Charleston, South Carolina, in
February last, the executive committee
was charged with the selection of a new
point for the headquarters to be located
in one of the five western states named,
and the change was to be made within
six months from the first of March last.
The committee it is nnderstood have af
ter due investigation selected Louisville,
Kentucky, as the most eligible location,
although it was expected that St. Louis
would have been chosen. Kentucky
stands number five as regards to the
number of granges having J539.
They have brought "reform within the
party" says the Times, to a rather pain
ful climax in Washington. The Repub
lican, the administration organ, comes
with over fifty-two large seven-column
pages of advertised property for unpaid
taxes, and nearly one-fourth of theprop
erty-ou ners of the "city of magnificent
distances" will find themselves homeless
in a few days to illnstrate the reforma
tory achievements of Grant's rule. The
Republican intimates that "the sale of
property will bear hard upon delin
quents," bat it adds "that in no other
way can governments be supported, and
the payment of taxes is one of the oner
ous duties which accompanies the many
privileges of citizenship." "The many
privileges of citizenship" outside of the
Pilgrim-Tammanyites in Philadelphia,
and the Grant-Shepherdites of Washing
ton, consist chiefly of paying taxes for
officials to squander upon themselves.
Elections had to be abolished in Wash
ington by a Republican Congress to es
cape irretrievable bankruptcy, and in
Philadelphia revolution'is about to come
to protect the people from their own
nominally chosen rulers.
The question of having the doors of all
public places to open on the outside is
being agitated by the press, as it should
be. The Chicago Tribune thus makes
reference to it :
Since the burning of the Catholic
Church at Holyoke, Mass., it has been
remarked that Canada has a law requir
ing ontward-swinging doors in all
charches, theatres, halls, schools, and
other public buildings. This law affixes
a large fine for its non-observance, and
it has been rigidly enforced. It is cer
tainly worthy of imitation, and would
frequently save life and limbs in case of
fire, or false alarms in public halls
which frequently produce as much of a
panic. Church-architecture is generally
liberal enough in its provision of win
dows, but exceedingly stingy as to doors,
notwithstanding churches are usually
built at sufficient distance from every
other building to admit of egress on all
sides. It is the duty of every communi
ty to make and enforce careful precau
tions against lha destruction of human
life, and the dreadful church disasters
during the last few years teaches tliat it
would be well to require that there shall
be a certain number of doors to every
church, and that they shall open out
ward.
An outrageous stab at the liberty of
the press was perpetrated a few days
ago t by a Pittsburg jury, in a libel suit of
D. W. Moore against the proprietors of
the Pittsburg Post, awarding the plain
tiff damages to the amount of SIO,OOO.
The "libelous" article was published
during a political campaign, and is of a
nature for which no other jury on the
continent would have rendered a verdict
for more than a few hundred dollar at
most. This verdict is unneoeemrily se
ffcre and unjust, and looks mors like
Spitework than the shadow of justice
Such a jury belongs to the days of Jeff
rie* and the bloody assises, rather than
to this enlightened day when we boast
®o fondly of the liberty of the press.
Messrs. Barr A Co., have our, as well as
the sympathies of all just men.

AX IMFOHTAXT OL'IXH'X.
The court of apj>ealsof Maryland, .*U
liug at Aunapoli*, have decided the case
of the Knickerbocker life iusu ranee com
pany va Magil.-tlciia lVtcr*, under an ap
peal of the company from a decision ol
.he lower court.
The company defruds its actiou under
the clause in the policy which makes it
void "if the assured shall die by his own
hand or act." The court say* it is now
too well settled to admit of question that
the clause is not to be consttucteil a
comprehending every possible ease in
which life-is taken by the party's oxxi
act; for instance, all the authorities con
cur in the view that an unintentional or
accidental taking of life is not within tin
meaning and inteutiou of the clause.
Thus, if by inadvertauce or accident a
party shoots himself, or takes poison by
mistake, or in a sudden frenzy or delu
sion tears a bandage from a wound aud
bleeds to death, in the literal sense ot
the term* he die* by his own act ; yet all
the decisions agree that u reasouabli
construction of the proviso, according to
theplaiuand obvious intention of the
parties, would exclude such canes trow
its operation.
The action of self destruction in this
case washy hanging, and the court in
structed the jury that the clause in ques
tion would not prevent a recovery if they
found from the evidence, first, that the
deceased killed himself in a tit of insan
ity which over powered his conscious
ness, reason and will, and thus died from
a mere blind and uncontrollable im
pulse, and that, aAer they are satisfied
he died by his own hand, it becomes in
cumbent on the plaintiff, on her part, to
offer proof sufficient to prevent theopcr
ation of the clause, and she does not
comply with such exigency bv prool
merely that he was insane at times. She
must prove that he was insane when the
act was committed, and in the absence
of proof of his condition at the precise
time when the act was committed, they
must presume he was then sane, and
they cannot draw an inference that he
was insane from the fact that he de
stroyed his own life. These instructions,
says the Judge, state the law more ex
plicitly and more favorably for the in
surer than is found in any of the Amer
ican authorities to which we have re
ferred, or to which attention has been
called in argument. The court say in
effect that when the act of self-destna
tion is done during insanity, it is a dcatl
by accident. They have examined th*
record in the case and cannot say thai
"there was no evidence legally sufficient
to authorize a jury to infer and find that
the deceased killed himself in a fit ol
insanity." The judgment of the court
below, the court of common pleas of Bal
timore, which found for the plaintiff.
Magdelana Peters, was affirmed.
FRESH FOOD FROM PASTURES
SEW.
From being eaten up by grasshoppers,
the people of the West have taken to
devouring their visitors themselves. Tin
other day at a Missouri town the exjK-r
--iment of serving up a dinner composed
exclusively of these tin that region) in
numerable insects, was tried, and, as we
are informed by the local pa[>er, witl,
the most complete success. The course*
were not all complete, it is true, and
what there were of them were confound
ed, but, nevertheless, the entertainment
passed off very pleasantly ; the several
dishes were not only palatable but deli
cious, and as the editor of the Warrenc
burg News did not write his report until
several hours after rising from the table,
it is fair to presume that the effects were
not unhealthly, and that his digestion is
still unimpaired. f*oup was first served,
of course ; "it tasted like chicken," and
after a little seasoning—there is nothing
like condiments—had been added, the
gourmand of an editor detected a deli
cate flavor of mushroom, upon which
most noble esculent the grassliopj>ers
had doubtless breakfasted that very
morn. Then came lmtte- cakes, in
which grasshoppers were well mixed,
and these were so good that this journal
istic fine feeder tells us they "quickly dis
appeared," a remark as full of meaning
as the grasshoppers were of meat. Next
baked "hopj*>re," as our facetious feeder,
now in the midst of the delights of the
appetite, familiarly called them at this
stage, were tried, and with the utmost
satisfaction. No taint ofgrease or suspi
cion of sauce was permitted to accompa
ny this course, which was undressed and
unadorned. Like its predecessors, it
was pronounced excellent. To cap the
climax of the feast desert was brought
on—it was the food of John the Baptist
when preaching in the wilderness of Ju
dea—honey and wild locusts, and the
glutton of an editor, now deep in his
dishes, declares that he does not wonder
that the great apostle thrived ujHn the
fare, although he seeins to forget that it
was probably the fruit and not the insect
which was referred to in Matthew, third
chapter, fourth verse. Finally, to grace
the whole affair, the satiated newspaper
man of Missouri tells us that henceforth
he will esteem grasshoppers as a luxury
to be classed with the juicy bivalve, the
inspiring mushroom and the seductive
truffle.
We have from the first believed that
the best way to get rid of the grasshop
per wa 6 0 eat him, and if we ever had
any doubts & the subject they are now

MINN: ASP NIN H HOAI
Two ca*c* were decided in our t'ourt.* I
last week which established a principle
of considerable moment to land owners
in this count) tut v eil ti*elsewhere. And j
to the effect that the mere |H-rmi**iott of I
a land owner to allow the public louse
a road not legally had out a* a public j
road, doc* not by time give the public a j
right to use it without the owner's con- >
soul. The case* we allude to were Mi'- i
Williams v*. CummingsA Auten, indict-;
ed for malicious mischief and McWill
iams vs Cumming* A Auten in a suit
for "trespass and damage." In these
cases it was proved that Mc William*
win property on the north sideofMon
tour Ridge, near the village of Moors
burg, Uliertv township, over which a
private ro.nl lead* from the base of the
Unlgv to a di(aucc higher up. The dc-!
fondants were in possession of some land
near the crest of the Ridge, off of which |
they cut the tiuili-r and conveyed it to
market. To reach the railroad where
they desired to convey their tiuilwr aud
bark, it was necessary to pass over this
road on M. Williams' estate. Tlteprose
cutor warned them not t> jigs.* over the
road and locked a gate swung acr<>.** the
road to prevent it. The defendants dis
regarded this warning <>r the iwpedi
ment of the gate, and removed the latter
forcibly,out of which grew the indict*
ureut for malicious mischief and the ad
ditional charge of tn*|vi.s* and damage.
Camming* and Auten believed they had
a legal right to Use the road and they
founded their claim on the long time
that it had been used. It had been
therefor at least tw" generations, had
been repeatedly UMII and fremi the fact
of it* leing so used ami for so long a pe
riod, they claiui sl that in effect it was a
public highway anil could Is- used a*
such. Oa the other hand while the
prosecutor admitted that the road had
been laid out and used for the length of
time alleged, he proved thut it was only
used by his permission, and that al
though jiersons had paused over the road
occasionally without asking that j*-r
--missiou, they were allow ed to do so on
suffrance and not by auy right they pos
sessed in the premises, and when said
owner denied such permission, as lie
proved that he had done frequently, it
dare not be used. Moreover, to prove
the right that the prosecutor held bars
originally, and subsequently a gate was
placed across the road, the latter locked
to prevent persons using the road with
out permission.
The principle involved in these case
was whether the road had become a
public one, through lajse of time and
usages. The evidence in loth the suits
was about the same. In the first, for
"malicious mischief," its true the de
fendants were declared "not guilty," but
they were mulcted into the costs which
was a recognition on the part of the ju
ry that they did not believe that the de
fendant acted from malicious motives,
yet they had no right to pas* over the
road.
The suit for tresjoss and damage was
more stubbornly contested and much le
gal ability displayed both fur the side of
the prosecutor and defense, and a vast
number of decisions were brought for
ward bearing on the case. Mr. Couily,
Esq., counsel for the prosecutor, brought
a small library of books to sustain his
case and his argument was an exhaus
tive oue. Mr. Baldy, on the part of the
defendant, also made a clear argument.
After a lucid charge from the Judge, the
jury went out and soon agreed on a
verdict in favor of the prosecution. As
we have stated, the principle established
is an important one and will )• uf much
benefit in preventing trespass in the fu
ture, creating bad blood ami in the end
protracted and expensive litigation.—

THE THIRD TERM.
A KKI'TTIMCAN VIEW OF GRANT'S LETTER.
[ liorton TrarfUer.]
President Grant, on the 29th of May,
wrote a letter to General White, C hair
man of the late Republican State Con
vention of Pennsylvania, in which lie
disposes of the third tenn business. Un
fortunately, the letter is so worded that
it confirms the impression that the wri
ter of it did mean to run fora thin! term,
should he be offered a third nomination
for the Presidency. The entire tone of
•the letter favors the view that he would
have broken through the rule of Wash
ington—a rule enforced by the great ex
amples of Jefferson and Madison, MODS
roe and Jackson—had he been request
ed to do so ; and we all know that n
President is uncommonly well situated
for obtaining a nomination. It is not an
agreeable thing to read; the President's
letter, for the language in which it is
written is that ofa man who thinks lie
has been ill used, generally, and partic
ularly when he was taken from the i*st
of General of our standing army to lie
made President of the United States. We
must confess that we can't see the ill
usage to which he has been subjected,
for if he did not wish to leave the place
he held in 18(14-09, he could have mid
so —and it is just possible that the coun
try could have found sonic one else to
take the Presidential chair, six years
since, jVs to the rewards for his m rvj
ces, they may not be equal to the value
received, for his deeds were great and
have won for him immortal fame, which
is no light thing in the estimation of nil
generous spirits. HUH, we think the re
turns for his services have been large,
and we know that they are all the couu
try hail to give—und whoso gives every
tiring, gives much. He was mode Major-
General, Lieu tenant-General, aud Gen
eral. He was elected to the Presidency ,
of the United States, in 1808-0, by u I
great electoral vote, speaking the sense
of a very great majority in the populnr 1
vote. Then ho was re-clected to the
Presidency of the United States by an '
almost electoral vote, speuk- '
ing the sense o tui jjioj-mous popular
majority, such as no Presidential wJi
"late ever before had received at trie
close of a hotly-contested conflict, and ,
gycfe as. In all probability, and under
aimilnr rirvunialnni-c*, no Pntddt'titial

ORIGIN ur LKXL N on- Tbo last ar
ticle iVt-r written by the late Governor
W illism F Packer w on the subject of
theab- ve heading We were ailew,-d t'
copy it from tbe original manuscript and
present it below to our readers It will be
of interest to all our readers in this part of
the state because it contains much of local
interest. We believe it appeared in a
Williamsport paper about five years
"A oor-e*pondent of the Clinton Deuio
erst, in referring to the origin ef local
nsmet in Clinton county, slates that
"Bald Eage creek took its f.ame fr. m the
large number of Agios of thst *p< cies that
were formerly found along its entire
course attracted thither probably by the
large number uf fish and wild ducks that
inhabit its waters. The mountain along
that stream has been known by tbe same
name."
The wnter of this article having been
born on the banks of tbe Raid Eagle, more
than sixty years ago. and spent his boy
hood there is able to give the true origin
of the name >'f that stream, the valley
through which it runs, and the mountain
which forms their southern border.
Previous to tiie treaty of Fort Stanwix,
by which the title lo tbe Indian lands on
the south and weslslde of the West Branch
of tbe Susquehanna was extinguish*!, em
bracing Raid Eagle valley, a celebrate.l
Indian w arrtor of one of tbe tribes of tbe
Sii Nations, named "Baid Eagle,' had
his wigwam and bis home, on the bank* of
the stream ot that name, near where Miics
burg stands now, in Centre county, in the
midst of sn Indian village, which was
called the "Bald Eagle's Nest He was
a noted chieftain, known over the whole
Country, wherever the tribes of the Six
Nations made their appearance, and took
an active and bloody part in the Indian
warfare against the white settlers along
the valley of lb West Branch, during our
Revolutionary struggle. Bold and fear

Ho led the party of savages, in 1778, that
murdered Jamr* Brady, son of Capt. John
Brady, and younger brother of the brave
Satn. of the Rangers, in a barvpst
field along with his fellow laborers, a
-hurt distance below the present site of tbe
city of Williamsport. Wounded with a
spear, lunahawked and scalped, young
Hr.iJy still lived long enough to describe
the harribio scene with great minuteness
He said the Indians ws.ro of tbe Seneca
tribe, and were led by Bald Eagle. M VoB-,
gence not loud but deep," says tbe histo-'
rian, "as breathed against Bald Eagle,
but he laughed it to scorn, till the fatal day
at Brady's Bend on thu AUsghany." Ha
zard, in bis "Register of Pennsylvania,"!
Vol. IX, page 287. gives tha following ac-i
count of the death of the eelabrated chief, j
Bald Eagle.' "Several years after the!
death of James Brady, a large party ofj
.Senecas were marching along the Alle
gheny river, on their way to "Bald Eagle's
Nest. Capt- Sam. Brady recognized the
Bald Eagle that day and fired at him ,
When the baUlo wax over, he searched fur!

"The Bald Eagle's Nest" was a well, 1
known locality both to white and red men
more than one hundred years ago. Tin
land on which the Indian village stood, R '
stated before, WHS near the present site of
the flourishing Borough of Milesburg, at 1
the forks of the Bald Kagle, and near land 1
after wards owned by Col. Holt, one of the 1
first settlers in that valley. So well known 1
was it, that in a warrant issued by the
Land Department of Pennsylvania, daiad ''
thi'did of April, 1700, and surveyed the 1
sumo year, for a tract of land now owned '
by the author of this communication, the '
land is returned as "throe hundred seres '
on the north side of Raid Eagle Creek. '
about five miles below the Raid Eagle's 1

WHY THE WHISKEY RAID'
A -Milwaukee Journal Proftaea to
Kxplaiu the Milk tu the Cocoanui.
< Miwaukee News, June 4 ]
v While Congress at Its late session was
It perfecting the Tax law. raising the tax on
n whiskey from 70 to yO cents a gallon—
K stock on hanJ to be exempt from tbe ad
r dmonal tux—speculators were active and
- l-u-y securing vast stocks of whiskey in
- expectation of the profil.lo.be derived from
. the advance. J'roduction was greatly
. stimulated, and whukajr "j,oo!," were
formed in all the money centres, in nearly |
t all of which rud cal members of Congress
were interested. To this fact it is owing
not only that tbe stocks on hand were ex
t empted from the tax, but that the delays
a and lucluglioi)* in tbe legislation on that.
f subject occurred by which tiy.e and oppor-'
i tunny were given the speculators to per-)
; fect their purchases and establish their.
, margins. Singularly enough, after the {
law had passed raising the tax nearly DO
s per cent, there was no peacepliblc advance
. in the selling price of trhiskey. The mar
.j kols uid fcof respond as was expected. The
. over production had mnta than supplied
r the market, and the additional lax had
been discounted >n advance. Theexpect
■ *d profits of the pools, including specula
> fiye of Congress, were not real
ised, and could net be realised unless the
market should bo forced up. \J"hat way
f: to be done? We will tell you. Certain
persons high in authority mado a hasty
visit to New York. Certain interviews
. were there had. Shortly afterwards the
Country was startled by the rmwt astound
ing acts of confiscation and seizure. With-
I out proceas of law $50,OU),000 worth of
.property was taken from the rightful own
j <>r and placed it; l ''o hands of irresponsi
ble men. Npica, informars , w d
officers swaruied over the country with in
definite instructions and unlimited powers.
As n result, on the 10th of may there was
not, w illi a few exceptions, a distillery in
operation in the North-west. The parties
whose property was seized appealed in .
irw.i to the courts,' asking under I
the law the of giving bonds with
! sureties in open court for the resumption
of their busincs. Instructions came from
WashingPm not to allow bonds to be giv- 1
'en* The local district-attorneys, aided by
'miposfejtl pounsels and gang* of detectives
were instructed to *gUo£' the bonding to
the bitter end, and even distinguished
lawyers were called in to thus keep the
Federal courts from allowing a release of '
tbo property. Of course the production ol J
spirits wus thus delayed, and tbo market .
to thul extent was afTocted. After the <
curt* had under the law roleasod tbe dia- 1
tilleriee, orders CHIUO immediately from
\N ashinglon not to let distilleries resume. •
Under tbo luw it is nescssary that a store
keeper assigned b.v the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue should be in attendance
at the distilleries while running. When
the court- uu- p~linouished the properly, (
in order to make further delay came t
from Washingtonthutslere-kucpersshould '
be withdrawn and new bonds given. Thus (
further delay of several duy was obtained |
in spite of the court*, utid somebody'* Je- <
.-ires w>e p-'ailllcd. The production ol '
spirits haying been thus luvyoi.lc:', what c
was) the result? Spirits went up in the I
market. A Urge advance took place at "
onpe, |ipd thus the heavily laden had an r
opportunity to unload, and their hearts !
were made light. In ull ti.a past history '
of revenue, it ha* always been the policy
of the government to allow a distillery to
rosuine us soon as the government was 1
tii-.de secure. Why should these saiznrtj
be mado un exception to the rule ' What i

INTERVIEW tiF A HINDOO FRIKBT "
IN INDIA HA A CLINTON COHN
TIAN.
Rev, A I) Rown o! Hugnr Valley, now
resident as a Missionary in India, writes 1
the following report of an Interview with *
a llrahmin of India. The ilrahmin* are
of the upper and priestly caste, and the in
lerwiew will be Lund iliUrresting asabrlof
espre*si..n of a pagan * view* of certain
points in their ruiigiun as compared with
the christian religion Tlia writer says '
A short time ngo as Brother L'nangst
and myself were returning Irom an after
noon service lu the chapel, a young Hrah
mill approached us, and with a profound
salaam, said, "good evening." A* he
•poke English, 1 turned to Mr. Unangit *
and asked lilm whether tbs young man
had been attending ><ur Anglo-vernacular -
school. He replied thai lie had route,
awhile, hut that when we admitted Par *
tubs, he was atraid they would spoil hit
• uste and so he ran <sy. Then lorning'f
to the young mail, he said "Wast, t
liiut the reason you ran away?" At this,
he gave a hearty laugh, without saying |
ml r ye# or no. He added, however, ll
that if we lied made a rule thai the "low J
i people ' shuul.t not touch the "high t eo
p<- he would not have run away. J
He seemed quite talkative, and said to
oe, that as 1 had jual lately cotne to Uun
lur, he w.hi 1.1 tike to make my acquaint
ance, and. if I had no objections, he would j
go home with mo all J make uie a call. 1
invited htm to come along. As he walked
to the In use, he W eill oil 10 explain to Ut,
how it was against the ancient eustoins ut
this land for "high people" to ait with and
he touched by the "low pop!e." We
sliunly laughed at his "venerable antiqui
ty, ami told him these were very tad
customs. -
He had but taken his teal in the house, j
when Mr Uarpster.s dog "Toots" came
hounding up to Pay hit respect* to him.
In an instant, and with a shriek, our Brati*
uiiii wa>, feel and all, up on the chair /
" W hat is the matter ?" said 1. "The dog,
the dog." said he. "He will not bile you,
>aid 1. "Rut tbe dog must not touch us,"
isaid be "Why not?" inquired I. Then
before giving any one else a chance to put
in a word, he delivered himsell thus:
| "You ask why. but you mutt not ask why.
i We have laws here in India which we
.Must Obey Without Asking the Refit
son.
For instance, the judge of the court says
1 come at ten o'clock. 1 must not ask
why. So we have these religious laws
fb Hindoos had their law-givers, who
-aid the Brahmins must not he touched by
-logs, we do not ask why. They said, too.
I must wear a string around my neck and
1 shoulders ; 1 wear it, hut 1 do not know
- why. They said, too, I must make these
i marks on my forehead which you see. 11
you ask me why, 1 cannot answer. No
' iuan knows why. If
The Law >givera
' were now living you might ask them
" They could tell you the reason. There
wus a great man called Mahoinmet. He
gave laws for the Mahon.tneuans, butlhey
do not know the reasona Ho there was a
' man called Jesus Christ, wno gave you
your laws, but you cannot tell the reason
lor them N>w If Menu and Mshommet
stid Jesus Christ were living, we might
ask them for the reason of their laws, bui
' these men are ait d> ad and we must follow
. iheir luw, but we do not know why."
"Then you think Jesus Christ was sim
ply a law giver, like Mahomuicl and Me
nu T'
Brahmin—' Tliee were all great men
whom God sent into the world Menu was
t sent to give laws tu the Hindoo*, Mab-.m
met to another c ass of people, and Jesus
1 Christ to give laws to you."
"You say God sent thenr Is there then
only one God, and do we all helieva in the
same ?'
Brahmin—"Only one God.'
"Is not this God a good being, and do
you think He is pleased to see you Brah
mins oppressing and despising the lowei
qa*tes and Pariahs V (outcasts}.
1 Krahmin —"The-c laws of castes are giv
en for the belter regulation of society here
i'ln this world. In the neit world there is
no cast . all who are seise (wholly sancl'fi
ed are admitted into heaven, whether
they are Pariahs or Brahmins or Chris
: tians."
"What if you should die to-night'
Would you go to heaven?"
Brahmin—"l do not know ; I wouid go
I to the judgment of God. and if 1 should he \
found wise I would be admitted into heav
en, if not I should be cast into hell ''
"Will you be kind enough to explain
: w hat you mean by the word "wise T'
i Brahmin —"I can hardly d • that Our
. books say that when a man is wise he hsr,
no more need of any comforts, and he
lakes no more notice of anything around
i bun, but thinks only of God."
1 asked him then whether he had ever
, seen a "wise" man At th.s he gave a
hearty laugh, and said he believed he had
f never seen one. I then compared with
his the doclrinei of the Christian reliipon
which teach that not works but by faith
. we are justified, and that good men should
i not withdraw themselves frm the world,
but by contract uaka all around ibeui
wiser and betteC
Thus we talked far an hour. Pasting
from the subject of religion to that of
Female Education,
' . lie remarked that the Brahmin* and Su
dra* of Guntur ilhe two highest castes
were making an rffort to establish a girl's
school "What," said I, "following the
, example ol the Christians ? " At this he
smiled, and said be did not see why I need
' look at in that war, for in the old tunc* the
Hindoos did educate their women.
Upon dismissing him (what this means,
; 1 will explain some other time), I present
ed him with a copy of the map of our mis
-1 si on field in India—prepared by the Chil
i dreii's Missionary Society—which he ap
preciated very highly. Byway of explan
ation 1 may add that the concessions which
this Brahmin made in favor of one God.
one judgment- pa heaven, etc., are not
~ strictly what they but to avoid dis
, cussion he waived for a time his Brahnii
' nical orthodoxy.
We shall be aible to draw a ft wconclu
ijsions from the toregoing :
1. That the high caste people of India,
especially, hare acute, subtle and well in
form'd minds.
1 That their caste institution* and preju
dices are being gradually undermined bv
' the influences ofChrislianity and foreign
; intercourse.
1 8 Thst the efforts of the missions at fc
. male education are inciting the natives to
activity in the same direction.
4. That the real progress of the tnissien
ary work cannot be estimated by thenum
ber of converts, but by its vast indirect re
Democrat.
