that was to be played him but did
not move. His wife went DID to

The wife, thinking the noise was
caused BY the fluitless struggles
Of her husband, ran to tile police

her husband hung. The police ar-
rived in hot haste, and d candle
was alighted, when alI started
back at The spectacle which pre-
sented itself. The stove was swing

pecunisry way, as persons who have brought
native servants from India are aware. 1t ap-
pears, however, from an account given by
the RdSt Geftdr of Bombay, that more per-
sonal penalties are involved in some cases,
even to o vicarious extent. Thus Kur-
sondas Madhavdas, having returned from
visit to England TO the bosom
Bania, brought the whole of them into
trouble. They dined with him; and dining
with man who has visited England is looked
upon as heinous offense by the other Bsnia
castles of Bombay and elsewhere, SO much 80
indeed that the offenders were visited with
sentence of accommodation. 10 obtain
readmission into the community of castles
terrible expiation was necessary, and this came
off on the 7th of last month at place called
the elements of comedy. First, the men
submitted to the shaving of their
moustaches, the young men and
small boys who had no moustaches subjecting
the hair of their heads to the same process.
After this-to the number of two hundred or
so-they all bathed in tank; and this cere-
mony over, each member swallowed pills
''made of the five products of the cow"
which was supposed to complete the work of
publication. They have thus been restored
to their caste privileges and the advantages
likely that they will be called upon to repeat
the penance before enjoying similar impunity
in other places.
"A Russo-Germsn war would force upon
the majority of Russian officers most pain
full question of nationality. According to
the G0lOS the proportion of foreigners serv-
ing in the Russian army is as follows:-
Among the privates and non-commissioned
officers there are IS per cent. of Russians, Is
per cent of foreigners, and of these of
Germans Among the captains and Ieuten-
ants there are "a per cent. of Germans and
AZ of foreigners altogether, to SO of Rus
SLAMS. Among the colonels and majors there
are SO Germans, and 85 foreigners to Is Rus
SLAMS; and among the generals there are as
many as "a Germans and 80 foreigners to Is
Russians. Thus, if Russia went to war with
Germany, the first thing that might happen
to her would be the loss of the greater part
of her officers for though sixty years ago
Germans were ready enough to fight against
Germans, they would hardly do SO now after
the regeneration of the empire. This cir
cumstance may be not without influence on
the affirmed improbability of Russo-German
war.
