THE JOURNEY CONTESTED IN BULLOCK
CART.
On Thursday, the 21lh, we again set
out from Triehmopoly. This time in a
bullock cart, and bound for the ancient
city of Madura, eighty miles to the south
Had our bed arranged in the bottom of
the cart, the rest Of our traps stored away
in the hold underneath, Edgar in front
with the driver, and an comfortable and
jolly. This style Of conveyance, after
leaving the railroad, is preferable to
horsebacking or being carried in palan-
quin. Slow, but tarnal sure. Fresh OK
en- every five miles or 50, and always a
new driver. Much that is entertain
ing on the road-not very warm, and the
shade of an avenue OF venerable banyan
and plane trees The entire distance.
Bungalows for the use of travellers are
to be found on al the high roads of India
and at these clean and well-built struc-
lures you are permitted to stay until
your grub gives out or another party
comes along to take possession.
THE POLITE NATIVES.
There is some excitement in the villa
ges when the pale faces appear among
them. But we never have met with any
thing but the most polite treatment at the
hands of the natives. No ease of too
much stimulant, no bad language, covet-
business, Sabbath breaking, has ever come
under our observation. The ten com.
mandments were evidently made for q
much more iniquitous race than the.an-
cestors Of these lovely people. Arrived
