The Poor Whites in India.

The condition of the poor whites in In
dia is most pitiable. In the presidency of
Bengal alone. says the Pail Mall Gazette,
there is European and half-caSte pOpula-
ton of So, 935, and large proportion of
these thousands are in the depth OF misery
and vice. The system of public instruc-
ton in India was framed for the natives,
and there is no adequate provision for
white children or halt-castes. Through
out all Bengal, with the exception of two
small schools, no school has been estab-
lishedwithin the last fifteen years suitable
to their needs and circumstances. Even
among the highest class of poor whites
father cannot give his children such an
education as will enable them to earn
livelihood, owing to the great expense of
sending them to school. A parent often
has to pay half his income for the educa-
ton of single son. The cause of all this
neglect is that the Indian Government has
had to force education among the natives
at an enormous cost. At Lahore, while
Government spends upon the native stud
ent in the college e63 year, and on the
native pupil in the high school over Els
year, it spends on the English or Eurasian
boy in the European high school e. As,
and on the lower class European schools
IL SpeIluS HOtnlIlS. AZ AIIdlldUdu, IHc
capital of the adjoining provinces next
the Punjab, more is spent on each native
pupil in Muir College than on twenty five
European or Eurasian youths in the high
school. The result is that while the ma
tive gets his education for nothing, or
next to nothing, and in many cases is
much more than recouped by his scholar
ship, the European parent has to pay al
most the whole charge for the education of
his children. -as ~ -a.

Almost a King.


There died in Allegheny, Penn, the
other day, an old man, who, the Pittsburgh
Commercial says, had, at one time, accord
ing to his own account and the facts that
can be ascertained concerning his history,
strong aspirations to throne in Europe.
His name was John William Leskar, and
his age siXty-seven years. He had been in
this country fourteen years, and in ALE
gheny thirteen years. He came from Sax
Ony, where, according to accounts, he was
a man of great wealth and high position.
A revolutionary movement was started,
and Leskar placed himself at the head of
it. Had the movement succeeded, he was
to have been placed on the Saxon throne.
The revolution was a failure, and the
throne did without Leskar. Worse than
that, his estate was eonfiscated, and he be-
came an exile. He came to this country,
and accepted the exciting career of barber,
in Allegheny City. A day or two since he
became i'll, and he died in such poverty
that the authorities will have to bury him.
Leskar has g brother and a son now in
SaXOny. The brother is a man of great
wealth, and the son, ii is said, is attached
to the court of the present ruler. Itisstat-
ed that the influence of friends could have
saved Leskar from exile, and his prop
eFty from confiscation, but he would not
permit such influence to be used. Meth
er would he, in later years, permit his
brother or his son to do anything In his be-
halt.

Dor has heaped, in the hope that C passing

on its western bank, set too carelessly by

steamer glided along, on the mighty cur
rent, we could see families perched in the
second stories of their houses, gazing grim
IL out upon the approaching ruin. At one
point a man was scuiling from house to
barn-yard with food for his stock. The
log barn was a dreary pile in the midst OF
the flood. The swine and cows stood
shivering on pine knoll, disconsolately
burrowing and browsing. Hailed by
some flustered paterfamilias or plantation
master bound to the nearest town for sup
plies, we took him TO his destination. As
we passed below the Arkansas and White
rivers, the gigantic volume of water had
so far overrun its natural boundaries that
we seemed at sea, instead of upon an inland
river. The cottOn-woOds and expresses
stood up amid the water wilderness like
ghosts. Gazing into the long avenues OF
the sOmber forests, we could see only the
same level, all-envelOping flood. In the
open country the cabins seemed ready to
sail away, though their masters were usu-
ally smoking with much equanimity, and

POPULAR FALLACY AND DECEPTIoNs.-
1t is an infirmity of man to cling to the
teachings of a past generation, and to stub
bornly resist the light of reform and pro

Poison Bitters compounders. One great
prevailing deception of the present age, Is
the impression that every human biped OF

The Aztec Club Dinner at the White
House.

For the first time in the history of the
Aztec Club its members sat down to their
annual dinner within the walls of the EX-
ecutive Mansion Monday evening. The
club originated with the Mexican war, and
was formed in the City of Mexico during
that eventful period. Its membership
consists of army officers who served in that
war, and it was the custom to meet twice
each week for social enjoyment. AT the
close of the war the society was continued
and its members augmented, though they
are still limited. The President and the
ladies of the White House received the
guests last evening, and at little after s
they sat down to the table, which had
been spread in the state dining-room, that
apartment having been dressed with the
decorations used on the occasion of State
dinners. The guests of the President were !:
General Robert Patterson, of Philadel-
phia "a gray-haired hero whose military
record dates back to 1922, the president
of the club; Generals Barnard and Towse.
of the u. S. Engineer Corps; Gen. FitZ

word, Henry Price, Colonel Thomas l..
Alexander, Professor Henry Copee, Pro
lessor N. l.. Kendrick, Captain Edmund
L. Hardcastle, Surgeon James SimOns.
As was to be expected the topics of con-
versation were many and interesting to the
participants, being principally composed
of the recOllections of the field and camp
in Mexico. The distinguished company
had many war recOllections revived by the
meeting -recollections made precious by
the hard experience which gave them birth
and the evenings entertainment was
equally divided between a discussion of
the luxuries of the table and discussion
of these "reminiscences. 1t was very near
midnight before the company dispersed.
The last annual dinner of the club was
held at the residence of General Patterson,
in Philadelphia Washington Chronicle.

Reverend" or Mister -!

A controversy has been raging in Eng
land for two or three weeks, and occupy
ing large share OF public attention, over
the question whether a Wesleyan minister
is entitled to prefix Rev" to his name.
a Wesleyan minister named Keet put up
headstone in the parish churchyard at
his daughters grave. on which he describ-
ed her as the daughter of the " Rev. II.
Keet, Wesleyan Minister" To the Rev
the vicar objected, addressing himself to
the stone-cutter, and refusing to hold any
communication whatever with Mr.. Keet
himself. WhereupOn the latter appealed
to the Bishop, DIR. Wordsworth, who
passes for sensible and able man, but he
sided with the vicar. Mr.. Keet then went
TO the Archbishop of Canterbury, who
condemned the wears conduct, and adj
dressed Mr.. keet as - Rev." and very
cOurteOuSly. The Bishop, however, stood
his ground, and Mr.. keet then went be-
fore the public with the correspondence.
The Bishops position is that Rev" is a
title which belongs exclusively to the
clergy of the Anglican Church, and that
it is therefore wrong and inexpedient to
give it to ministers of any other denomi-
nation, and he persistently addressed Mr..
heet as . Mr.. heet, Wesleyan preacher"
The public appear, however. to have only
one opinion about the matter, and that is
that the conduct Of the vicar was arrogant.
il-bred and unlawful, and that the Bishop
is all at sea in his logic, law and social
philosophy. A whole band of writers
have rushed into print. showing that no.
body is entitled legally to the prefix
Rev" and that it is purely a title of
courtesy; thatits application even TO Epis-
copd clergymen is of comparatively re-
cent date; that it is officially given to
ministers or religious teachers of all de-
nominations; and that the vicar had no
right to NEEDLE with the headstone on this
ground. The case is going into court, and
there have been plenty of warnings ad-
dressed 10 the Bishop on the danger to the
Church establishment of exasperating
Dissenters about matters which are of no
real importance TO the Church, and in fact
furnish materials for nothing better than
petty insults.

Opportunity to Try an Organ Before
Purchasing.

Many person is half persuaded that a
Cabinet Organ would be capital thing
for his family; worth much more than its
cost. Yet they are not sure that it would
be permanently valued, but fear that after
few months use the family would tire
of it, and so it would prove a poor invest
ment. The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.
now offer their famous Cabinet Organs on
terms that will satisfy all such. They will
rent an organ with privilege Ofpurchase.

so doing. If he concludes to purchase
within a year, all the rent he has paid is
allowed and deducted from the price OF

A Famous Medical Institution.
From the Chicago Times.

"The name of DR.. R. V. Pierce has become
