A STRANGE RAoE.-An English officer

Hindostnn, the remains of "a once hume
rous race, but now consisting of less
thnn 600 souls. They are named Todas,
and in their appearance. language. and
custom, differ from both Hindoos and
Mahomedaus. They are tall. athletic,
and OF light bronze complexion. with
large. dark eyes. and features of a
Roman cast. Their villages consist OF
few scattered huts. of On oval shape,
situated in some secluded spot in the
woods or businesses of the mountains.
The buffalo is the sole possession of the
Toda. He cnltivates no land. nor en-.
cages In commerce. His substance is
from the milk and ment of the buffalo
alone, and tho animal enters largely into
his religious festivals. Tho worst trait
in tho character Of this singular people
is that, influenced by barbarous super
stition, they destroy most of their female
children.

The AMERICAN CLAIMs.-The New
York World makes the following estimate
Of the modest bill handed into the
Geneva conference in behalf of the
United States:
l. For the destruction of vessels and
property belonging to the Governmen,
Of the United States, 1876, 600.
2. For the destruction Of merchant
vessels, cargoes and property sailing
under the flag of the United st ties,
$17, ,900. .633.
8. For other damages or injuries to
persons, growing out of the destruction
OF each class of these vessels.
In respect to this item the ''case'
says it is impossible at present for the
United States to present a detailed state.
ment, but the amount of claims cannot
be less than hundreds of thousands,
and, possibly, millions of dollars, on ac.
count Of hardy, helpless seamen and
their families.
4. For national expenditures in pur.
suit of the cruisers, $7,080,478.
8. For loss in the transfer of the Ame-
rican commercial marine to the British
dag.
In respect to this item the United
Suites asks the arbitrators to estimate
the amount which ought to be paid to
them, after we submit statistics in re.
spect to our tonnage before and after the
rebellion.
6. For enhanced payments of insur.
'.nce by citizens of the United States, &C
fur as now known, S1.12O, 795.
Z. For prolongation of civil war, the
addition of large sum to the cost there.
of, and Of the suppression Of the rebel
lion.
las to this item the United States
claim that after the battle of Gettysburg
offensive operations by the insurgents
we're conducted only at sea, through the
Anglo Confederate cruisers, VITA the
hope Of involving this country in war
with Great Britain, and that the latter
ought in equity to reimburse the United
States for the expense thereby entailed
upon them.
8. Interest upon all the claims up to
the day when the award is payable by
the tel Of the treaty, which is twelve
months after the date of the award, at
the usual rate of interest in the city OF
New York, where most of the claims OF
individuals are held, which is seven per
cent. per annum. The United States
claim that interest should be computed
from an average day. say July 1. 1868.
According to the foregoing statement,
80 far as it goes. the figures reach the
sum of 32G. 1876. .896. It will be observed,

ST.. VALENTINES DAY.-St. Valentines
day will come again on Wednesday, and
as st. Valentine ha.! n history we give it
in brief thus: According to somo cccle-
siastical writer's, he was bishop, by
others presbyter, who was beheaded
at Rome in the reign of the Emperor
Claudius "a. D. 27W. Wheatleigh says
that st. Valentine twas man OF most
admirable parts, and 80 famous for his
love and charity that the custom of
choosing valentines upon his festival
took its rise from thence." Others de-
rived the custom from birds supposed to
select their mates on that day; others
again from practice prevalent in an
oalia, held during the month OF Fcbrua-
ry, when, among ceremonies, the names
of young women were placed in box,
from which they were taken by young
men according as chance directed.
There arc frequent references to ST.. Val
entines day in Shakespeare. In this
country the day is observed only by
sending ornamental, illustrative or
comic missives to friends and foes alike.
The comic kind are frequently sent with
n view to exnsperate or wound the feel
ings of enemies. It is custom to be
reprehended, and should not be prac-
ticed by any honorable person.

Principally about Insurance.
BosToN, Saturday, Dec. 7

BosToN, Saturday, Dec I.
The great and general court is still here with
no signs of immediate adjournment sine die.
The house is deep into the insurance business,
and the senate have just given the finishing
touch to the Boston building act, which came
up on a motion to reconsider the amendment
which allows buildings without fire proof roofs
TO be constructed to the height OF sixty feet.
By vote of u to 10 the senate decided not to
reconsider. The Old South church matter is
not finally settled, the unwearied opponents of
the lease having returned to the fray with a
new plan of operations. One member of the
committee on parishes (Mr. Crafts has been
persuaded at this late day to submit minority
report, which, if adopted, would result in send
ing the bill back to the house again, where an
other season Of eoquence might be confidently
expected. The senate at first refused to admit
the dilatory report, but finally let it come in,
and ordered it to be printed
Insurance was the only topic discussed by the
house. Mr.. Newell advocated his bill, which, it
is understood, was drawn up by Hon. EliZuT
Wright, to guarantee insurance by mutual fire
insurance companies. 1t was finally decided to
refer it to the next legislature, which is soon
to assemble. Mr.. TOwne introduced new bill -,
repeating the second section of the 161st chapter
OF the acts OF 1864, which has reference to the
assessments on mutual insurance companies.
And an order was adopted directing the insur-
ancc commissioner to report to the house the
amount Of money paid for fire insurance in the
state during the year 1914. The resolve instruct
ing the insurance commissioner to report a tab
ular statement Of the standing and condition Of
FIRE insurance corporations to the next legiSl2-
ture, was cngroSsed.
The bill limiting fire risks was passed another
stage. 1t limits fire risks so that no company
doing fire insurance business in this common
wealth shall take or have at risk on property
other than dwelling houses and their contents
any town or ward in city, an amount not
exceeding its net assets available for the pay
ment Of losses in the state, and in computing
the assets of such company insurng property
on he mutual principle, its premium notes shall
be included. A fine of $50 is provided for each
policy ssucdin violation Of the ac:.
The bill allowing cities and towns to take up
the business Of mutual insurance was passed to
be cngrossed by vote OF SO to 20 in a very thin
house, hardly quorum being present. The
general insurance bill, reported by the joint
committee, was then taken from the table, and
will be discussed ON Monday, to which time the
house adjourned. The senate adjourned to
Tuesday at p, NJ.

MONDAY. DECEMBER .. 1878.


Preparations for the voting, to-day, have been
conducted very actively and zealously, on both
sides. Each side speaks for itself in communi-
cations which viii be found in the SPY, this
morning. One Of our old citizens proposed TO
prepare a strong plea for the party which he
describes as the third party of indifference"
but he seems TO have thought better of it, or his
indifference has paralyzed his inclina-
ton to write, for his powerful article
has not reached us. Possibly he has been
captured and converted by some of his
less Indifferent neighbors. Our various cor
respondents have expressed their views very
fully. Let the people read, ponder consider the
whole case, take account Of all the interests in
volved, and then vote honestly. On one side
are the regular republican nominations. On The
other side are the regular citizens nominations.
The candidates are generally well known to
most OF the voters. Mr.. Jillson is an honest,
lrreproachable man who would devote his whole
time to the duties of the office of mayor Mr..
Very has filed the office for year,
and learned a good deal more about
its duties than he knew at the
beginning. We never had more need of
a wise and efficient city government. What
sort of voting, to-day, will go furthest towards
securing ii? The communications we publish
aim to answer this question; but each voter, we
presume, will be inclined 10 answer it for him
self, AT any rate, most of the voters outside
our friends "third party of indifference" seem
TO have made up their minds. Thele will be s
sharp contest, and we shall not undertake tC
predict the result.

with firm hand, exercise a wise economy in
the public expenses and organize and maintain
police department worthy of the popular re-
spect. The republican party has presented as
candidates Hon. Clark Jillson for mayor, and
for the other offices gentlemen of well known
ability.
Mr.. Jillson is worthy representative of the
varied interests ofthis growing city, His incor-
ruptible integrity, the ability ana faithlnlness
with which he has discharged the duties of the
responsible positions he has occupied, the high
moral tone of his private life, and successful
management of his own business affairs, are
guarantees that he will faithfully and ably dis
charge the duties of any position in which he
will allow himself 10 be placed. His successful
career from early life attests in a marked degree
his individuality and industry. He will not
make the mavoralty an honorable appeudage 20
a more successful and engrossing private bush
ness. His long services as clerk of the municipal
court and present position as judge of the first
district court, qualify him in a peculiar manner
TO reOrganlze the police department and furnish
the best possible security for life and property.
Let not the republicans of Worcester neglect
their duty to-day. Many who voted with the
reform party" last year have had enough Of a
party of large pretenSious and small achieve
ments, aud will to-day vote the republican ticket.
Let no republican be neutral in this election.
Elect your officers and thus hold them to a strict
accountability for the discharge of their duties.

The Old aouthChurch.

To the Voters Of Worcester: You are called
upon to decide whether the act of the legislature
enabling the city to remove the Old South
church from the common shall be accepted. Do
not vote thoughtlessly. Do not be deceived by
specious arguments. Considercarefulylthe fol-
lowing reasons why you should vote NO:
The present debt Of the city is about S3,OOO,-
600. For ten years to come the aeceSSary ex-
penses will be so great as to vastly increase this
amount The city authorities have already
planned for a soldiers monument, a union
depot, the removal Of the railroad tracks from
the common, improved fire department, the lake
boulevard, new city hospital, etc. Mechanic
street has become one of the main thorouph-
fares to and from the western depot, and needs
to be paved; Summer street and Union street
are equally in need of paving; there is a CON
stantly increasing demand for new sidewalks.
These are, with the exception of the boulevard
scheme, matters which will require large and
speedy OUTLAWS, and are Of more importance
than the Identifying of the common.
Some people may say to you, "If you do ac-
cept the act now it is by no means needful
that the church should be moved this year or
next. BE not deceived with this doubtful com.
fort You may be sure that leave once OBJ
tanned, the matter will be put into execution
and you will soon be taxed for the first cost of
two hundred thousand dollars or more. to
which will be added large sum by litigation.
Moreover, the city hail will be the more speedily
pronounced unfit for use, as its shabby eX-
terror is more fully presented TO view, so the
next cry Will be De1O city hall, at an expense
OF from half million to a million of dollars
The members Of the Old South church and
parish are unanimously opposed to being dis
turbed in their rights at this time They feel
that the granter of the land was actuaied by
high religious zeal in providing a site for
church which should be perpetual, and which
no legislative enactment could impair or make
void; and no amount of "public sentiment" can
reconcile them to resign it after more than
hundred years of possession.
The city of New Haven is famed for its beau
thu common, upon which are three churches
neither of them more respectable loOking;edifces
than the Old South. 1t is the oldest church in
this city, almost the oldest in the state, and is
most fitting monument in its present position
TO many Of the people it is dear from associa-
ton. 1t is a link between us and that past to
which we are indebted for all we have and all
we are. Let this consideration also have weight
with you before you cast your vote to remove
or demOlish this old church edifice.
To sum up all, the pressure Of the question
RoD Is premature, unnecessary, iRUOlcing large
0uttay, and utterly diStdStefu to those most
nearly concerned bereCitb.
For these reasons, and many others, let every
intelligent man cast a negative ballot for his
own and the cily's welfare. II.

December 6, 1872.
Editor Worcester Spy: May ask you to cal
attention III your columns to the claims which
the international exposition, to be holden next
year at Vienna, has upon the manufacturers of
New England?
No apology is needed for setting forth the
merits of this exhibition of arts and industries,
or for urging upon manufacturers the advan-
tageS to be gained by showing their products to
the two or three million visitors who will throng
the halls of the great Vienna Exposition
palace" between May and September next year.
The park III which the building stands has
an area of 900 acres. The building itself,
though of slower growth than Aladdin's
palace, will be equally wonderful, and worth
voyage across the Atlantic to see. Its central
dome has an area of more than twice that of
St. Peters, and rests upon pillars 50
feet high The machinery hall is a
separate building 1900 feet long by $50 feet
wide, and stands 400 feet distant from the indus
trial palace. An enormous hall in addition TO
these is to be erected for the reception of agri
cultural machinery, in another part of the
grounds A large vacant space in the open air
has been devoted 10 the American department.
on which to erect buildings for special use.
Among other interesting matters shown at
this exhibition will be model of one of the
best of our New England schoolhouses fur
nshed with desks and seats and all the para.
phernalia of teaching. Everything, in fact,
that bears at all upon our deservedly famous
school system, including text books and appa-
ratus, will be exhibited in prominent place.
1t is fair to suppose that New England manu-
lacturers will feel a decent pride in showing
their machines and the products of their skill
to the European world, and it is certain that
they viii reap abundant pecuniary rewards by
doing this.
The English and French exhibitions gave
abundant proofs of the truth of this assertion.
In the last Paris exhibition evidence of the value
of American machines and products was given
by the fact that we carried off rewards and med.
ais in number altogether out of proportion to
the number of individuals and firms exhibiting.
Thus far New England has been somewhat
tardy in making applications for space in the
Vienaa exposition, and the time in which such
applications can be made is somewhat limited
therefore trust that all who intend to exhibit
will lose no time in forwarding their applications
to the commissioners, who will be very happy
to furnish not only all necessary information in
the matter, but also all the blank forms exhibit
ors will require in their applications for space.
