THE COLORADO AND MIEMBREs MIxRs.-A
correspondent of the San Andreas Indepen-

says the country around there is but little
more than barren sandy desert He visited
the Colorado mines, situated about 90 miles
above Fort Yuma on the river, and found
there population of 40 to so persons

ter. The placers, from the information he
could collect, pay from 81 to So per day to
the hand-oftener the former than the latter
figure. There are hill diggings in the neigh
borhood, which report says paid we'll two
years Ggo-there having been parties who
realized as high as $4,000 for a summer s
work. There are cerlainly no such diggings
there now. Doubtless" says the writer
''the Colorado and Gils, and the country they

seen specimens of copper found near the
Colorado Mines, containing 7S per cent. of
that metal; also, specimens of silver ORE

as any ever saw from Washoe. The day
may come when the restless gold-seeker will
find in this desolate, and sun-scorched re-

the present the scarcity of water will prevent
any extensive mining operations-the coun-
try being so level that it is impossible to lead
the water from the river to the placers."
in regard to the Rio Miembres mines of

writer says:

Mr.. GangoOly said that the manners and cuss
toms Of Hindoo life had always been the subject
Of Iiuch speculation, and travellers, and even mis-
siOnaries, had given to the world inaccurate ac-
counts Of the people Of India. He had been re-

system was explained at some length. The Hind0a
were divided into thirty:four castes-of which
the Brahmins reached the highest and the banked,
goldsmith and shoemaker were among the lowest.
The blacksmiA u Of a high caste, because Of his
usefulness If o Brahmin eats animal food, 10

subject Of birth wus next treated The birth Of q
male child was always made the occasion Of great
rejoicing, while the birth Of female child was
hardly noticed The mother Of Eve or six gifn
was always the subject Of scOrn and deFision, and
never went into society.

to the education Of boys in India, while girsIe

The marriage system was next Considered:
HindoOs do not know, strictly, what marriages
are. Neither the boys nor the girls have anything
to do with this matter. Parents makeall matcletI
and the parties have no. idea TO whom they arc 20

In regard to the burial ceremonies Of the dead
in India, many things have been said and yritteIl
| by travellers that were untrue. The burning Of
the bodies Of widows upon the funeral piles Of the
husbands was explained and accounted for BY the
fact that when a woman becomes q widow, sh5
