AHEAD OLE TILE

A recent writer on meteorolOgy has
made the very clever suggestion that
our opinions as TO changes that have
taken place in the weather, when our
own time is compared with one hundred
and fifty or more years ago, may be in
part due to an omission to take into &C
count that the date spoken of by old
writers are not the dates as we know
them. The change from the old style
to the new style Of reckoning which
was made in 1852, pushed all our ami
versaries nearly a fortnight forward,
and in consequence of these altered con-
ditiolls, the description of poets and
others who wrote before that year do not
in many instances hold good. Christ
mas, for example, is always spoken Of
by old writers as an exceedingly snowy
period, and if it came as much after as
it now, does before. the LIST of January,
the same could still be said of it, for the
experience of this and other years
shows that the first five or six weeks of
the new year are commonly the most
tempestuous of the winter. To take an
other festival, it has always been hard
for us to understand how people danced
around polesor went pieknicking in the
woods on May Day, which ordinarily
brings with it cold, damp weather; but
when one carries the time ahead into the
middle of the month the attractions in
out-of-door pleasures of this kind be-
come vastly greater, as there is per-
ceptible changeof temperature at this
part of the spring in very short space
of time. May-day is not now the holt
day that it was generation ago, when
May was invariably accompanied by
Jacks-in-the-green, dancing girls, gar
land Bearers, and the like. Many of
the youthful participants in these festi-
walls suffered seriously from exposure to
the damp air when thinly clad, or from
sitting on the moist ground. Good
sense has prevailed over sentiment, and
the custom of celebrating May-day has
become almost obsolete, though it was
practically taken from the list of popu-
lar anniversaries by the change in the
style of reckoning time made q century
and quarter ago. ,rr -5H Saq

muda, yellow fever made its appearance.
She had several cases of yellow fever on
board her, which made their appearance
in Santa Cruz on November last. Two
of these cases resulted in death. The
others recovered, and she sailed at once
for the North, where she could be frozen
out during the winter, as that had
usually been considered perfect pre-
ventive of the spread of the disease. She
lay all winter in Boston, where every
thing known to sanitary science was
used to disinfect. her of the germs of
yellow fever. She was entirely broken
out, the stores landed and exposed to a
freezing temperature and the ship thor
oughly fumigated several times. A part
of the time the ship was in dock, where
large quantities of ice remained, and the
temperature frequently reached point
below zero. The water in the tanks and
buckets in the store rooms were con-
stantly frozen, and when she was re-
moved from the dock and fires lighted
under her boilers she was so thoroughly
chilled that for several days the water
remained frozen in her bilges. When
the Plymouth left Boston all men of
weak constitution or susceptible of CHI
matte influences were removed from her
and she went to sea with crew en-
tirely healthy, Yet, notwithstanding all
these precautions, yellow fever made its
appearance, as above stated. But the
most curious and remarkable fact of all
is that the first man attacked, Richard
Sanders, machinist, had his hammock
slung in the precise place of the man
who first showed symptoms of yellow
fever in Santa Cruz in November last.

English Rule in India.

IL is a notorious fact that the expense
OF British rule in India is something
enormous, and forms a crushing incu-
bus on the country. The population is
roughly estimated at 190,000,000, and
the average taxation last year in various
ways amounted to 81 shillings en-
glish) per head. The gross production
of India for the same time averaged 81
shillings per head, so that the taxes took
II per cent. OF the product. These
figures alone are enormous; and wnen
we add the opium impost and the local
and municipal taxes, there is an aggre-
gate of nearly f50,000,000 or $3.50, 000,.
600. In 1857 the total was about hall
the above amount; there has been no
increase Of population, and, though the
railways have caused q development in
many parts of the country, it has not
kept pace with the expenditure. Ac-
cording to high authorities, India Is
every year poorer and poorer. The
land-tax is burden so great that the
cultivation Of the soil does not always
enable the cultivator to obtain the COM
monest necessities for himself and fam
lily, and the condition OF the day -laborer
is pitiable in the extreme. The great
mass Of the people are in q condition Of
the most wretched poverty, want in all
forms stares you constantly in the face,
and the only way for traveller in India
to escape the sight of it is to sail away
to some other land. OF all the coun-
tries on the globe have ever visited,
India is the one ] least care to see again,
and largely for the reason given in the
preceding sentence. In two widely
separated parts of the great peninsula
/ saw people dying of famine, and
their gaunt and ragged forms rise before
me all too often to make memory an
unalloyed pleasure. That India has
reached the highest point OF taxation is
loudly proclaimed by both native and
English residents, and not few En-
glishmen predict her bankruptcy before
many years shall have rolled away.
A great portion OF the natives are
Indifferent to the foreign rule, and
some ore warmly in favor OF it, espe-
cially those who hold offices Of greater
or less importance, and receive reve-
nue. from them. On the other hand, I
tnlnh bnere CHI 10 no qucooAon tnhV
there is great hostility to the British
authority, and, if the way were open to
a revolt, with o promise Of success, it
would speedily be forthcoming. Sew
eral Of the native Princes, still occupy
ing their thrones, maintain armies Of
their own, which are regarded with no
friendly eye by the Government. Mn
merically, at least on paper, these
armies are stronger than the whole Brit
ish force, native and foreign, but their
equipment, organization and discipline
are far inferior, so that they are not
considered very formidable. . Thomas
Kmor, IN Ha,pers Magazine for
March.

Compositor SINNERS Luck.

The wisdom of obeying the injunc-
ton, "Be not forgetful to entertain
strangers" is illustrated in the case of
John E Skinner, at present compos-
itor in New Haven printing office.
Years ago, while Skinner was a youth of
Is, he shared his meager substance with
youth named Antoine Mercer, who
represented that he had been banished
from the home of wealthy uncle in the
Island of St. Thomas. The uncle looked
upon young Mercer as his heir till the
latter was discovered to have pledged
his love to mulatto girl. Then the
uncle sent him forth to care for himself.
He drifted to New York, found employ
ment as a printer, became dissipated,
lost his situation, was taken in and cared
for by young Skinner at Port Jefferson,
l.. l., and finally decamped with the best
clothes of his friends father. Years
passed and nothing was heard from Mer-
Ger till a few days ago, when West
India paper was received by John E.
Skinner, containing the announcement
of the death of Antoine Mercer,
and the statement that his will
devised his fortune ito his old friend,
