SARATOGA, July 80, 1S6S.-Saratoga has
new and novel sensation yes, the daily
routine of dressing, drinking, dining, driv-
ing, dancing and dissipating has been ruth
lessly invaded by r
A YANKEE HINDoo FROM CAPE COD,
who gains livelihood by displaying him.
self, his wife, and several Hindoo idols in
the hotel parlors, where he essays to en-
Tighten mankind on the subject of Hindoo
manners, courtship, etc, etc, On Tuesday
he amused large audience at the Union,
and last evening repeated himself at the
Columbian, 70 a crowded parlor and
more crowded piazza.
In the FIRST act, this puritanical Hindoo,
with.a bleached Eisage (rather too pale a
-countenance for genuine Hindoo,) sp-
peared in the HindOo breakfast garb,
which included rnonstrous white turban,
a short white sacque which reached TO the
top of q pair of broad, very white unwhis-
Iperables, which were arranged Ia IiTqte,
about the ankles, and thus displayed q
most remarkable pair of sharp pointed and
very red Hindoo slippers, made by Brooks,
of Broadway. These he wore in his hand,
as he told US was the Hindoo custom, and,
besides, by holding the slippers in his
hand he displayed an immaculate pair Of
fine cotton hose, in which he stood and de-
livered himself of the best part of the lee
ture, which was simply an explanation Of
several rniniature washing machines, egg
beaters, nutmeg graters, and Planehetie
boards, 50 ingeniously arranged as to re-
semble almost anything, and were sup
posed To be "Hindoo idols" of the first
water. These being duly disposed of part
two was introduced as was Mrs. Hindoo
(also from Cape Cod,) who might have
seen five-and-thirty summers, or there
abouts. She was what might be styled
blonde HiRdoo, with very brief chestnut
locks, which she wore plain, they being
entirely toe. short to crimp, but not so
short as jerome LelanRs. Her costume
was of the most recherche HindoO order,
and was audibly admired by the ladies
present, whom we leave to describe it. he,
the male Hindeo, ia the second act, was
dressed ia the very acme of Hindoo full
dress, and, looked the very counterfeit Of
the Clarendon chief cook, so snowy white
was this same brave Hindoo. A most
touching love scene occurred in this, the
second act, which defes description. The
pen falters, and the English language must
fail to express the love utterances Of that
Hindoo couple, as they, in their native
Cape Cod Hindoo tongue, wooed and Won
each other in that second act, which con-
Vulsed the large auditory and convinced
everybody that, next to Chinese, the Hin
doc is the nlost like the dialect Of monkies.
/ say the love scene was quite touching,
because the twain stood Siamesed back TO
back, and each with a finger in his or her
mouth, which is the most approved method
Of popping the question in.Hindoo lands
At the close Of this act Mrs. HindOo made
hasty exit aud was followed by Mr..
Hind0n's aforementioned old shoe, and
then, by himselE Part third embraced
some choice Hindoo music-not from the
Dachesse, but from the late Hutchinson
Family rs classical (?) repotOire. His was
nasal baritone, and hers a nle7zo soprano
voice of dnlcet quality, but, as it was all
done in Hindoo could not learn what il
was all about. The numerous divines
present were highly pleased, and the di-
whites we're delighted beyond expression,
particularly sith the love scenes and the
grand shoe fndis. 7ia
