SUTTEEISNI.

The British Government since the
cor ss:est of India has been endeavor-
ing by rigid legislation to suppress SUIT
teeism in that province. Notwithstand-
ing its practice is prohibited by law,
and all who assist at the ceremonies are
treated as murderers, immolation on
the funeral pile of her husband is con-
sidered such strong proof of excellence
of wifely character that Hindoo women
mount the pile and perish in the flames,
and her relatives at the risk of being
punished with death, approve the act
and assist at its performance. The sac
rifice, however, owing to the vigilance
of the authorities, is now of rare occur
renee. A case recently took place in a
small village eff Lucknow, the details of
which are given as follows Hav-
ing bathed and dressed, the suffice
went to the bathing place, accompanied
by her relatives and a number of low
caste Hindoos, who were in charge of
the dead body. Wood being scarce. the
funeral pile was in part constructed
of other fuel, which was heaped around
| the woman as she sat with the head of
her deceased husband in her lap. The
pile was then covered with straw, her
nephew handed the suttee a lighted
torch, and in moment the whole mass
was on fire. The Chowkeydar and the
policemen. when they arrived, found
only heap of ashes. About thirty
persons, including the village headman
and the womau's relatives. have been
committed to the Sessions on the charge
of having been directly or indirectly
guilty of murder.

New YORK, August 8.

New YORK, August 8.
The assignees of Archibald Baxter &
Co. said to-day that the liabilities of
the firm would in all probability foot
up 100000. The amount of available
assets cannot as yet be ascertained.
Saturday night posse of men from
the Sheriff's office in Brooklyn. headed
by the Under Sheriff and Chief Deputy
Sheriff. proceeded to Martins Stairs,
and seized vessel named Sarah Sig
net, with all her cargo of grain. The
crew were on board and ready to sail
The men We're mostly Italians. and at
first offered resistance, but finally sue
cumbed. A guard of Deputy Sheriffs
was left on board, all armed, after
which the Under Sheriff and Deputy
Sheriffs proceeded to the Atlantic
docks and seized the bark Gioyannino,
which was also loaded with corn and
grain. The men were placed on board
the vessel, and she too was detained
under authority of a replevin suit be-
gun in the New York Supreme Court
by A. E. Kent & Co. against Archibald
Baxter & Co. The former firm, it is
said, sold the latter firm some $40, 900
worth of grain, which was shipped in
the vessels named, but not paid for.
The terms Of sale. it is alleged, were
cash inside the usual days grace, but
up to the hour of seizure the cash had
not been forthcoming, and hence the
detention. 1t is intimated that several
complications are likely to arise out of
this seizure.

PARKER, the carpet-bag Ex-Treasurer
of South Carolina, who applied some
$3.50, 900 OF the State funds to his own
use during his term of Office. was sued
for his dsfalcation recently, and judg-
lnent rendered against him for $75. 900
He plead poverty, though he is known
to have sent $500, 900 in United States
bonds to his son in Europe. His plea
of poverty was not credited, and to
avoid further trouble he attempted to
escape from the State, and give the
authorities leg bail for his delinquen-
cies. This mornings dispatches an
nounce that he has been recaptured,
but it is not at all likely that the
amount of the judgment will be re-
covered, as Parker has placed the stolen
money beyond the reach of officers and
outside the limits of the United States.
His son, who was introduced to the best
society at Berlin by Minister Bancroft,
and married an elegant and talented
lady, he is rich, bat his wealth is re-
ported to come from his wife, though
it is known that tho stealings of his
father. the ex-Treasurer, were forward
ed to him in Europe.
