ENC, ANn,s TENURE OF INDIA.

ENcL AMOS TENURE OF INDIA.
The following extract is from the
special correspondent of the London
Daily News, who went out to India with
What tho Irish World calls the British
roval dead-beat party.
It would seem by this that the pig kill
inc of the sweet Prince and the title OF
.Empress of India" assumed BY Queen
Victoria are not sufficient to make the
inhabitants of India in love with sublu-
cation. In the meantime the Russian
Bear is seeming the sweet honey OF India
and moving toward it.
God speed his bearship.
nappears to me that our tenure OF In
dia is. as matters rest at present, utterly
insecure. and that in certain contingent
cies. which no sane man can regard as
improbable, that tenure could not endure
for month, except in the event OF acct
dents in our favor, which wise state
craft has no business to assume or build
on.
I see no reason to hope that we stand
insured against the recurrence of a mu-
tiny, and it would seem the widest ia
talism to reckon on such coincidence
of fortunate chances as that IN virtue
alone of which we succeeded in crushing
the last mutinv, and in retaining our ten
ure of India.
That the last mutiny was great de-
liberatelv schemed military conspiracy
cannot well at this time OF day be denied
by a reasonable man; we may be on the
eve of such another at this present time
of writing for aught that any one can
definitely aver. That we may have an
other mutiny no man can deny that it il
happens it will probably occur at pc
cuIiarly awkward time for US, nearly ev-
ery man will admit.
CENTENNIAL TEMPERANCE DEMON
STRATlON.
It has been decided by the delegates tt
the National Convention, Philadelphia,
to have q grand demonstration IN thu
Academy OF Music upon the evening o
the 9Th OF July next, as part of the pro
gramme for the reception OF the Natlona
Delegates. This, says the Philadelphia;
Standard, is the best thing that has ye
been done. The wonderful success o
the two former demonstrations in thu
Academy of Music. and the good effec
which they produced upon the minds
the citizens OF Philadelphia. have dom
much towards establishing the Cathofi
Total Abstinence movement on its pres
emf firm foundation. The coming de
monstration will outshine even the tor M
er magnificent occasions. Many OF tn
distinguished strangers then in Phila-
delphia. members Of the United State
Centennial Commission, National ant
State officials, the Commissioners 10 thu
Centennial from foreign countries. ant
the Delegates to the National Convention
will no doubt be present. And TO cal
the climax. the Menominee Indian Soc,.
ety can be accommodated with seats up
on the stage. Distinguished Total 40
stinence speakers from all parts OF Am
erica-Bishop Ireland, OF Minnesota
Fathers Michand and Dunphy. OF New
Brunswick. Father Walsh. OF Connect
cut. Dean Bryne, OF Trenton, Fathe
Keaue, of Washington. and many other
will very probably be in attendanc
upon the Convention, and what finer op
. portunity for our societies to hear then
. than upon the magnificent rostrum
the Academy Of Music. The splende
; Of the two former demonstrations will
surpassed, and the strangers from othe
countries, and public officials OF II
, States and our visiting Total Abstinent
, brethren, will witness meeting the lii
/. of which will not be equalled in u
!, whole Centennial year. We predi
