Women Of India.

Professor Monier Williams, in an
article on India, says that it must NOS
be supposed thatthe women Of India
are generally unhappy; that they regard
for independence; that they protest.
against seclusion; that they banker
after knowledge. They are too feeble
and apathetic to be conscious
of degradation, too welded to ancient
customs to repine under absence OF
freedom or want OF education. They
esteem it an honor TO wait upon their
husbands. The necessity Tor privacy.

A Wedding where no Words were
Spoken.

An interesting occasion yesterday
was offered in the religious services in
the chapel of Christ Church, corner of
Thirteenth and Locust streets, by the
Rev. A. w. Mann, Of Cleveland, deaf
mute, before congregation OF deaf
mutes. There we're about sixty deaf
mutes present who comprehend no
vocal language, but converse through
the organ of sight by means Of signs
snd the spelling of letters with the
fingers. Among the mutes were adults
over forty years vi age. The preacher
was clothed in his Episcopal robe. and
appeared to be dignified clerical gen.
tiemau, and with the exception of the
multiplicity of his gestures it would
not otherwise appear to o person at
distance but that lie was discoursing in
the ordinary vocal manner. He went
through the customary Episcopal SER
vice and delivered brief sermon. In
giving out the text and quoting from
Scripture, he spelled the letters with
his fingers and thumb, but otherwise
he spoke mostly in signs. The mute
audience listened throughout to all that
was said with earnest attention.
The afternoon service was made par
ticularly interesting by little surprise.

numbers, t997, O00, 900; but II the actual pro-
Deeds OF taxation should exceed Sir STAT
FORD NoRTHCOTR's estimates In the same
proportion IA lost year, some three millions
would be added to those figures. There
would still remain, as will appear upon
reference to the contemplated expenditure,
a deficit OF 5000, 900, leaving altogether out
OF tho account the unusual disbursements
made necessary by the prospect OF war.
As n matter Of fact there is reason to be-
lievc that the remainder OF the supplemental
credit say $l2,O00,OOO already been
spent or pledged since April 1, and this sum
has apparently been divided between the
War Office and tho Admiralty. Moreover,
a new source Of expense has been opened by
the calling out OF the reserves, and it is COM
puted that throo months sojourn on their
part In camp or garrison, to say nothing Of
service In the field would cost the Govern
ment at least s5,OOO,OO0. How large an out
lay has been cntailed by the movement Of
troops from India IL not yet known, but 1t
Is plain that this must ultimately fall upon
the home Government. Even In the event,
therefore. OF an amicablc settlement Of the
questions at issue bet yecn Russia and Great
Britain, we cannot see how the lattcrs dis
burscmcnts in preparation for war can fail
to raise her deficit for the present year to
some S25.O0OO00
This is a sum- however, Insignificant in q
country like England, where the contrlbu-
tions levied by way Of customs and excise
arc relatively small; and 1t would simply
be necessary for the Chancellor Of the Ex-
chcqucr to slightly emphasize the augment
which he already contcmplates in the in
come tax, the tax on dogs, and the duties on
tobacco In the first mentioned ease only
are increased burdens likely to provoke
some discomfort, and this 1t IL proposed to
neutralize by rcadjustmcnt of the scale
according to which incomes are rated, and
Of the provisions by which dwelling houses
are taxed. Through shrcwd concessions of
the sort, and by his promise lately made to
shpowncrs and railway companies to take
into account the depreciation of vessels and
rolling stock in the estimate Of incomes, Sir
STAFFORD NoRrHCoTE has already gone
far to disarm opposition; and in the event Of
a popular war he would probably encounter
little difficulty in considerably expanding the
existing volume of taxation. There il sub
stantial ground for reckoning ON the long
suffering of the British taxpayer, for in pro-
portion to the national wealth, and as COM
pared with the condition OF his counterpart
in most continental countries, his yoke is
easy and his burden light

course was dictated by political considera-
tions. In an appreciative biographical
notice OF DR.. NEWMAN, accompanied by q
woodcut likeness. the STANDARD, a Methodist
newspaper published in Baltimore, distinct
ly asserts that HAYES went To the Foundry
Church because its membership was largely
made up OF Southern ex-Confcdcrates.
when MATTHEWS and other friends OF Mr..
HAYES" says the Standard, made their
famous bargain with the Southern leaders,
which ultimated in counting him into
the Presidency, it was supposed that
afiiliation by Mr.. HAYES with tho
Metropolitan Church, whose members arc
Union and Northern people, would create an
unfavorablc impression" Thus" adds
DIR. NgwMAS's organ, there was n political
reason why il was considered judiclous for
HAYES to worship COP at the Old Foundry
Church."
Before GRANTS spiritual adviser had fair
ly recovered from the disappointment Of
seeing de fdcio President slip between his
fingers, he mot with second and almost
equally serious reverse of fortune. 1t was
the ambition OF Friar Tuck TO be elected n
Presiding Elder in the Methodist organiza-
ton. That is the stepping stone to episco-
pal honors, and a blshopric is the goal Of DR..
NEwMAS's earthly aspiration We learn
from the Standard that the defeat OF DR..
NEWMAN Is regarded by his friends rs the
result Of "a conspiracy to prevent his adj
vanccment." The pastor of the Old Foun-
dry Church was selected for the office which
Parson NEWMAN coveted. Tho Standard
oven goes 80 far ms tn insinuatc that some
of the Presiding Elders are JCsuits i'm secret
and that DIR. NEwMAN's bold attitude toward
the Church ~ Rome had something to do
with his rejection.
TO complete the humiliation OF the Rev.
DR.. NEWMAN. he was taken out of the pulpit
from which he had preached to GRANT and
SHEPHERD and SCHUYLER CoLFAx and trans
ferrcd to a church In the Seventh avenue in
this city, where he delivered last Sunday
sad-toncd discourse on the political immor-
atty Of the Chinese.

Tho same Journal in tho Same article,
with singular inconsistency, declares that
"all tho rascals engaged in frauds ut that

II convicted, should be punished with the

Miserable wrctchos who make out the

him, and he will not be told that she has no
desire for matrimony. Still, you might try
