A " CASTE +" DECISION.

The Missionary Herald Of March, has
an account Of decision made by an Eng
lish magistrate at Amednugger, India,
which, if acted upon will completely reyo-
lutionize the position Of Christians inIndia
1t seems that some Christian converts con
nected with the society under the charge Of
the American missionaries, drew water out
Of the public tanks, which as outcasts OF
low caste people, they had no right to do.
An appeal was made to the magistrate,
who decided that the Christian might
have all the rights which they had before
conversion.
The Hindoos, not satisfied with this, APP
pealed to the Governor in Council, who
not only confirmed the decision Of the mag
istrate, but went one step farther, and re-
the Hmdoos that according to
their own Shasters, /" The caste Of The ruler
Is equal to the highestw Thus al Chris
tians, being of +" the caste of the ruler" or
Of the British Queen, arc made the highest
at once. This, if carried out, viii relieve
Christian missionaries in India Of : great
deal of annoyance.

Of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who has been set

in their sleeves, punching balls about on a
table, and presenting the keeper with
twenty cents, or as is most commonly the
case in this country, telling him to just
mark it down. This last mentioned GUS
tom has given them the title Of billiard mar
ker.
Ifvou have decided genius for the game,
YOU make a superior player at an expense
Of about $4,000. Blacksmiths, carpen-
tiers, editors, &c, play it for exercise. It
was invented by shrewd saloon keeper,
who was unsatisfied with the profit on whis-
key, and was too much opposed to temper
anee to water it.
