John Bright on Indian Oppression,

Fhe English Tories have natural and
very cordial dislike of John Bright and the
moral idea" politics he represents, and
they have for some time been felicitating
themselves on the waning oratorical powers
of the eloquent COmmoner. Mr. Bright is
well on in years, and prolonged ili-health
has no doubt taken from his speech some.
thing Of its former vehemence. But if we
may judge of the power that still remains
to him by single passage in his recent adj
dress at birmingham, the unseemly salts
faction Of bis opponents would appear to
be somewhat premature. Referring to the
oppression of India by the Vice Regal
government, he said:
"Well, he the Governor.Generall has,
think, about eight gentlemen sitting with
him in what is called council. They live
for portion Of the year in Calcutta, which
is considered the capital, but believe that
for the larger portion of the year they live
about a thousand miles off, in a hilly
country, where the climate is bearable and
temperate; and there, in a room that
would be Dig enough if it was only twelve
feet square, they carry on the whole-the
main portion at any rate--of the govern
ment of two hundred millions of the
Queens subjects. Shame. The taxation,
as nave salu, Is oppressive, and oppressive
to degree that all the authorities in India
say that you cannot turn the screw any
more. If you do, something worse than d
| deficient revenue may follow. Nearly hall
of the whole net taxation of the country i,
devoted to the support of the army
! [Shame. There are 100000 native troops
and latterly, owing to this war in Afghanis
tan, it is said they have been adding $4,000
more to those troops; and there are 10000
English troops who, it is said, are mainly
kept there to watch the 10000 nativ,
troops"
This is pretty sharp talk that is adapted
to arouse thought and action. Mr.. Brigh
may not be the orator he once was, but s,
long as a grievance like this exists, his ill
wishes will be apt to find that he lack
neither the ability nor the will to speak t.
the English heart and conscience will

AN ANCIENT NATIONAL the departure
of the children of Israel from Egypt, China
was seven hundred years old and when
Isaiah prophesied of her she had existed

and decline of all the great nations of an

and Rome have long since followed each

THE BLACKMAN's CURFEw-The colored
ministers of New Orleans, fifty or more in
number, have been notified by the Mayor
that hereafter their religious services must
close at 10 P. NJ, and that those neglecting
the new regulation will be prosecuted as
disturbers Of the peace. If 10 P. NJ. is the
latest hour that it is safe for colored men to
hold prayer meetings, at what hour ought
white men to leave the theatre, and how
late at night can a Caucasian tippler prof
tably take beer in German concert garden?
Or, if it is breach of the peace for the
black man to pray after 10 P. NJ, what will
New Orleans do about white-man's dances
at a. NJ? We presume such questions
can be answered off hand at the mouth of
the Mississippi, but up here the subject of
this curfew.bell is something of mystery.

New CURE FOR RHEUMATIsM.-We sup.
posed that every possible "cure" for rheu-
matsm had been suggested ere this, but a
German paper announces the discovery of
a new one. A woman near Prague suffered
so sevsrly from gout in the arm that she
could not obtain rest or sleep, and the limb
in which the disease had settled was rem.
dered entirely useless. Her husband,
having heard of a countryman who had
been completely cured of Rheumatism
after being accidentally stung by a bee,
persuaded her to try this disagreeable
remedy, which, as he pointed out, could
hardly prove so painful as the disease.
She consented, and allowed three bees to
be placed on her arm, and to sting her in
several places. Surprising results ensusd
the patient soon afterward fell into a long
and deep sleep, the first real sleep she had
enjoyed for six months, after which the
acute pain disappeared; and when the
swelling produced by the stings subsided
the arm recovered the power of motion
and the gout has not since reappOared.
