equal to Lena Rivers, but it is good work, and is
one of the few novels from the perusal of which
rises with reflections of beneficial character.

Engiish and Indian CrueJtaeSs
Though the accounts of recent csuslties ini1lctea
on the English by the sepoys nay well herr'fy the
mind, We must admit We see nothing wonderful or
surprising in them. They but the retaliation OF
. savage people, In time Of war, for equal crue't'es
inflicted upon them by the civilized English in time
of peace. We do not believe that the British nation
was cognzant Of the tortures pracced by its agents
upon its dependents, but it cannot escape its re-
sponsibility for them, for it ought to have been
more watchful. The South Side Democrat peril
nently remarks:
"And now in all gravity let US ask, where was
all this terrible Indignation two short years ago,
when the story of British atrocities in India Was
told in the calm phraseology Of parliamentary re-
port2
mention some of those tortures of this refined peo-
which are too horrible and indecent to be put In
print:
Squeezing the thighs, and Of women the breasts,
with an instrument like lemon squeezer, called the
Kttee; placing men, under the MONDAY sun, with
their bodies bent nearly double, the head being tied
down with heavy stones placed on their necks or on
their backs; squeezing the tips of their fingers;
twisting the ears; tying up by the legs with their
heads downwards; twisting rope tightly round the
entire arm or leg to impede circulation; lifting
up by the moustache suspending by the arms while
tied Oehlnd the Oack soaring with not irons; pIac-
ing scratching insects such the carpenter beetle,
the navel scrotum, and other sensitive parts; dip
ping in wells and rivers TIL the party is half suffo
Gated; beating with sticks prevention of sleep;
nipping the flesh with pncers; putting pepper or
hot chillies in the eyes.
Here is the report as furnished in response to .
parliamentary inquiry, and the story is published in
the official columns of the Blue Book of 1855. And
this be it remembered, done not against enc
miles, as in the case of the Sepoys, but against their
own dependents; not in time of war, as with the
Sepoys, but in profound peace; not in the ebution
of sudden passion but in the calm composure of
calculating vilainy not under the license of revo
luton but in the solemn regularity of official order
tice not in a battle for freedom and right but to
wiring few more farthings from men dying of
hunger!-the fendish cxpedients of avarice
