BRITISH POWER IN INDIA.

The British East India possessions ex.
tend, with few interruptions and those on
ly Of tributary or allied States, from Cape
Cormorin to the Himaaya mountains.
This immense territory comprehends the
richest part of the continent of ASIA, con-
talns hundred millions of inhabitants.
and yields an annual revenue of about
t22,OOO,OOO, or a hundred millions of
dollars. The land forces consist of $780,
900 native and $4,000 British troops.
The debt of the company 10 1882 was
t49,2lo,00O. The civil and military SER
wants of the company do not exceed 1000,
with whom all the business is transacted
and their armies ofiicered. The total
number of whites who exist among The
hundred millions Of India inhabitants does
not exceed 10000. So enormous, saws a
writer in Blackwood's Magazine, is the
disproPortion between The British rulers
and the native subjects, that it is literally
true what the Hindoos say, that if every
one OF the followers of Drama were to
throw handful of earth oil the Euro.
peans, they would be buried alive in the
midst OF their conquests. Only sixteen
years have elapsed since the Mahratta
Confederacy was finally broken up and
destroyed, and the Indian government
left peaceably in possession of these do
minions. The gross receipts and disburse-
ments of the East India Company since
1914 have amounted to the enormous sum
of Eats, 1856, or nearly two thousand
four hundred millions of dollars.-Bau.

Scarcely ditinguishable, stood burning
candle, as if intended for an offering to
the goddess of night, but which in reality
was only fifty yards from the spot OIL
which we all stood. One man was with
in few yards of it, to watch the effect of
the shots, as well as to light the candle
should it chance to go out, or to replace
it should the shot cut it across. Each
marksman shot in his turn. Some never
hit either the snuff or the candle. and were
congratulated with loud laugh; while
others actually snuffed the candle without
putting it out, and were recompensed for
their dexterity with numerous hurrahs.
One of them, who was particularly cx-
pert, was very fortunate, and snutleu the
candle three times out of seven, whilst all
the other shots either put out the candle,
or cut it Immediately under the light.
Ofthe feats performed by the Kentuck-
ians with the rifle, | could say more than
might be expedent on the present occa-
sion. In every thinly peopled portion of
the state, it is rare to meet one without a
gun of that description, as well as toma
hawk. By way of recreation, they often
cut off a piece of the bark Of tree, make
a target of it, using a little powder wetted
with water or saliva, for the bulls eye,
and shoot into the mark all the balls they
have about them, picking them out of the

NEXT president.

1t seems from The movements of Judge
M'Lean's friends in the West, that he is
very soon to be announced as candidate
for President in 1887. Some of the
friends of Mr.. Van Buren, have hoped till
lately that the Judge would consent to be
IA candidate for the Vice Presidency I'm.
der Mr.. Van Buren,; all hope of that has
now vanished, and it is admitted by all,
we believe that Mr.. M'Lean is to be the
western candidate for the Presidency,
while Mr.. Van Buren is to make all pos
sioIe arrangements to secure all New
England. The south will probably unite
upon some man either of Virginia OF S.
Carolina, for whom the entire south will
be likely to go; and unless the great west
shall be able to carry their candidate by
the electors, the House of Representatives
will have to choose the next President
Judge M'Lean has many, very many
friends in the north, and it would not be
strange if he were TO receive nearly all
the electoral votes of New England, in
December, 1887. Mr.. Van Buren's east
ern tour will call out in the west Mr..
friends rather sooner than they
otherwise would have appeared openly
in the field, for the next campaign.-Con

CAUTION!l CAUTIONlll

hereby forwarn all persons against pur-
chasing three several promissory notes, exc
cuted by me to A. Baldwin, as they were
obtained, and do not intend to
pay the same till compelled by law. All said
notes bear date the 18th June, 1888 One for
two hundred and fifty dollars, becomes due
the 18th of August instant; one for six hun
bred and twenty-five dollars, becomes due
the first day of January next, and the third
for six hundred and twenty-five dollars (as
near as | can recoIect,) becomes due tho
first of May 1884.
The above notes were given in purchase
of a patent right for burning gas, which
proves to be gross deception; fraud was
practised on me in obtaining the notes,
and | am resolved not to pay them but at the
end Of the compulsory process of law.

FORMATION OF CHARACTER.


A taste for useful reading is an eifec-
tual preservatve for vice. Next to the
fear of God implanted in the heart, moth
ing is a better safeguard than the love of
good books. They are the hand maids
of virtue and religion. They quicken
our sense of duty, unfold our responsible
tiles, strengthen our principles, confirm
our habits, inspire in us the love of what
is right and useful, and teach US TO look
with disgust upon what is low, and gro
yelling, and vicious. 1t is with good
books as it is with prayer; the use OF
them will either make us leave off sin
ming, or leave off reading them. No vi
cious man has fondness for reading. And
no man who has londness for this eXer-
else is in much danger of becoming Vi
Cious. He is secured from thousand
temptations 10 which he would otherwise
be exposed. He has no inducement to
squander away his time in vain amuse-
mens, in the haunts of dissipation, or in
the corruptng intercourse of bad compa-
ny. He has higher and nobler source
of enjoyment to which he can have ac-
cess. He can be happy alone; and is in
deed never less alone, than when alone.
Then he enjoys the sweetest, the Pur-
est, the most improving society, the socl-
ETY. of the wise, the great, and the good
and while he holds delightful converse
with these, his companions and friends
he grows into likeness to them, and
learns to look down, as from an eminence
of purity and light, upon the low-horr
pleasures of the dssipated and protlIgate
The high value of mental cultivation
is another weishty motive for giving at
tendance to reading.-What is it tina
mainly distinguishes man from brute
Knowledge. What makes the vast dit
ference there is between savage and civ
.!zed nations9 Knowledge.-What form
