The LenerS of India.

The Lancet is reminded by "the gorgeous
displays, the festivities, and other manifesto
tions of rejoicing in the East with which the
Prince Of Wales has been welcomed" of the
sad condition of the lepers in Bombay. What
leprosy is no one who has not seen it can well
imagine, and it is unnecessary to describe it.
But in the Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy Dhurrumsala,
q refuge for the destitute and sick in Bombay,
the Lancet on the authority of the Times of
India, says that there are some one hundred
and twenty lepers lodged at the present time,
sharing its scanty accommodation with an ap-
proximatively equal number of the poor,
aged, and crippled.
The lepers live in what are called chawls or
cells, some six feet long by five feet wide,
and the institution is SO full that often two
lepers are crowded into one of them. They
are without furniture or even cooking uten-
sils; but each Of them is allowed two pounds
of rice and three pice with which to pay tor
fuel to dress their food. They consist of men,
women and children, the children being the
offspring of the men aud women, some of
them being born in the Dhurrunsala itself, for
no separation of the sexes is attempted or, it
seems, even thought Of Unfortun ate crea-
ures, with "their limbs wasted till only
the outline of the bones remain, or else
swollen out OF all form of limbs"
sit or lie about as they choose, without
supervision or medical care, except from one
charitable physician whose name is withheld
at his own request, seemingly. They are WIS.,
tied by no friends and by no minister of any
religion. "They are abandoned says the
Times OF India, " of God and man, and were
it not that Dhurrumsals gives them the half
of six-foot cell in which to die, and hand
full rice with which to sustain life, they would
die in their sores along our streets and In our
compounds" Only those who are very much
af,Iicted are admitted into the refuge. Those
xUbo are not in so advanced state of disease
are sent away to oeg in the public highways
and byways until they are sick enough to be
taken into the Dhurrumsala.

well for some of the aspiring Democratic
geaders whe are weakening the party by their
ambitious striving fer the Presidential nomi-
nation next year, to remember that they are

Brooklyn, June At the Beecher
trial, Beach, before closing for the
day, remarked that he had good rea-
son to believe that members of the
Jury had teen approached, which he
would present u the Court mt another
time. IIema,ie no imputRtion against
any of the Jury, but could prove that
they had been approached. Abbott
protested against the uuprofessional
mode in which these statements had
been put forward She;trman also
challenged the gentleman 10 produce
the proofs tLen and there. Beach re-
piled that Shearman spoke without
knowledge. inasmuch ms parties in
sympathy with the defendant could
easily use money for purposes not
known to him. He repeated that he
had not charged any of the jury until
lie was called out by an appeal from
u Jurymau; he would bc sorry If
he had said anything offensive to the
Juryman, or had done anything to
injure the cause of his client, for that
he would have no right to do. but as
he had been challenged he would
now ask his honor to name the time
and place for the production of the
proofs. Judge Nelson suggested that
the proper time would be at the close
of the case, when somebody would
have to be punished. The matter was
then dropped and the Court all
journed.

Editor Cheyenne LEADER:

My attention has been called to the
following In the Netos of the 10Th inst.
''Last evening about ten O'Clock an
other cutting affray took place on Ed
dy street, between p. Duca and Charles
Sehuler. in the Bon Ton Shaving Par
lor. 1t seems that Duca was trying to
take undue advantage OF man by
charging him 50 for a so cent job when
Schsler intcrfered and told him that
such a course would drive away trade.
This enragcd Duca. who made fear
ful onslaught on Schuler with razor,
cutting n severe cash in his head. Duca
was arrested aud will have a heariug
to-day"
Whether the above article emanated
from the pen OF. the Net0s man through
some report that may have reached his
ear, or is the production of some gigan-
tic brain of the Schuler persuasion, I
know not; but do know it is foul
and ttntodrantd6le attack upon MY
character, which tact is suhs:antiated
10y the result of my trial in the District
Court yesterday. Having been located
in Cheyenne but short time, desire
to sustain the good reputation which
have always borne during residence
of twenty-five years in the United
States, otherwise L should have treated
the matter with silent contempt. l am
prepared at any time to furnish testi-
monials regarding my character, which
cannot Le impeuched, and hope by
persuing the same course which has
always characterized my actions, To
place myself in a position before the
citizens of Cheyenne. that no such
