AN EDIroR's ANATHEMA.-Somebody has
killed the cat of the editor of the Cleveland
Herald. The following is the manner in which
he vents his spleen on the murderer:
We pour bitterest curses upon the mnrau-
der. May his face be constantly scratched by
angry felines ; may the cats of the neig abor-
hood celebrate their nocturnal orgies under his
window forever and ever; should he ever "keep
house" may " that cat again smash every bit
Of crockery and glass in the household, and
when he eats sausages may he always tind a
cats claw or bunch of suspicious fur in the
last piece OF the last sausage. May he be
scratched by cats, eat eats, dream Of CATS and
be disturbed by cats in s@caIa in secWIori!m.-

believers in the Koran. Bigotry is the highest
virtue demanded of the Mohamedan, and one
which secures for him favor in the eyes of his
prophet land his God, and takes him by the
shortest route to place in heaven. Thus, on
the conquest of Persia, the Mahomedan soldiers
of the Caliphat of Bagdad traversed the length
and breadth of The country, presenting the al
tentative CT death or the Koran, and compell-
ing the conquered nation to accept the one or
the other. BY these oppressive and cruel
means, hundred persons are said to have daily
abured the faith of their forefathers and the
fte.temples and other sacred places were de-
stroyed or converted into mosques. Under
such rulers almost the whole Zoroastrian popu-

Value of Reading in oldsn Times.

In the days of Jack Cade few could read, ex-
eept those who were actually in orders, or edu-
Gated for that purpose SO that if person was
arraigned before temporal judge for any crime
(the punishment whereof was death) he might
pray his clergy that was, to have Latin Bible
in black Gothic character, delivered TO him;
and if he could read a passage where the Judge
appointed, which was generally in the Psalms,
the ordinary, OF his deputy, who stood near
said. Eegh ut cEerieus, that is, he could read
like a clerk or scholar, and the criminal was
acquitted as being man of learning, who might
therefore be useful to the public: if, however,
he could not read, he suffered death. This
privilege was granted in all offences, except
high treason and sacriiege, until after the year
1880; aud it was carried to such an extent,
that if criminal was condemned at one ussze,
because he could not read, and was reprieved
to the Subsequent assize he might again claim
,hs benefit, either at that time, or even under
the gallow's tree. and if he could then read' nc
was pardoned. Of which there was an instance
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.-ShahsPear'

Hind0o Women,

Never enjoying even female society, their
Ives are passed in the extreme of lsleesness
1t Is this which produces so many instances OF
women bUrning themselves. The husbands
death is a revolution in their existence, which
gives an opening for the minds bursting out Of
the ordinary track of depression. They have
a confused notion that the hour is the only one
which can occur to them for distinction. AS is
the case with all spirits that have been long
held in restraint. the momentary emancipation
IS carried to extraVagance. Working them
selves up 10 frenzy they pledge themselves to
they know not what. Once they declare their
InlenIion TO burn themselves, which is done in
the first instant of bewilderment produced by
The husbands death, no retreat is allowed. The
forecasting policy of the Brahmins has made
the disgrace of the womsn's faterng full, not
90 the individual alone. but OIL all her relations,
so that the whole of her family will force her
to perseverance,. Then the Brahnins intoxi
cute her with representations as well as with
drugs In this hot climate the funeral of the
defunct must so soon take place that there Is
no lime for reflection. The interest of the
BrahmIns in this, is, that it is a triumph over
reason. The scene is an additional perplexiiy y
to that cOmmon-sense, the growth of which
they sedulously watch and endeavor 10 stunt in
the lower classes. Subjugation of the intel
lect, that they may reign over the bodies of the
multitude, is the unremitting object of that
worthless and successful caste.-THe Private

not elevated his mind above that of others his

EDMUND BURKR AND DIR. JoHNsoN.-John-
son. accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Trale,
spent some days this autumn O774,) with
Burke, at Beaconsfeld. To the doctor his
house appeared a model of worldly pros
perity and contented genius Every thing
was done by Burke and his wife to make the
old man happy Fascinated at what he saw
the splendid mansion, the extensive
grounds, the air of comfort and elegance
which pervaded the statesman's residence,
the peace of his home, the respectful admira
ton of his relatives, and his own serene
cheerfulness, which appeared under all cir
cumstances nvariable-Johnson in a Latin
quotation, intimated not depricatingly but
pensively, that he did not envy, but admired.
ct at this very time Burke was really far
from being at his ease. His mind was so full
of care and anxiety both for his friends and
on his own account, that when alone he
found himself giving way to fits of melan-
cholly, to such as at no other period was he
ever subject. None of the guests who met at
his table or walked with him over his fields,
nor even they who were united to him by
the closest ties of blood, were aware of this
mental depression. He made Lord Rocking
ham his only confident in grefs which no
other person could so fully share.
