why tho Banner Was Taken Down.

Owing to objections raised by the lady cccu.
pying the house opposite tho republican com.
mittee.rooms on i street, the Garfield and
Arthur banner which has hitherto been sus.
pended on a rope stretched between the two
buildings has been taken down aud will to-
day be again unfurlcd TO the breeze, permits
sion having been obtained to attach the rope
to the house next door, 1t appears that tho
lady from whom the objection came granted
permission TO the committee to hang ont an
American 1ug In front of her house. After tho
republican candidates were nominated, how
over, IL became necessary TO put out banner
bearing the pictures and names Of the cand.
dates. The lady was absent at the time
this banner was substituted for the flag, but no
one supposed that any objection would be
raised. Some Of the dodgers in tho house,
however, have raised such an objection to
having their consciences constantly reproachcd
by the presence Of loyal republican banner
IN front oil the house that tho lady was
obliged, for the sake Of peace, TO remind the
committee that permission had been given
only 10 put out an American flag. This ex.
plains why the change has been made.

Foundry Church Yesterday.
Rev. Ram Chaudra Bose of India, delegate
to the late general conference Of tho mctho'
dist episcopal church held at Cincinnati,
preached at IL o'clock yesterday morning at
the Foundry NJ. +. church to a crowded con.
gregation. The Rev. Bose was converted
about thirty years ago by the Rev
DR.. DuG then missionary to India.
Yesterday Mr.. Bose, who Is full.blooded
Hiudoo, appeared in the pulpit arrayod In q
white robe and took for his subject the condi'
ton, habits md customs Of his race. In the
course Of his remarks he said he had not
crossed the threshold Of his homo for thirty
years. as a Indoo, as soon as he embraced
christianity, Is ostiacised. He said his
people had dotcrioratcd from the knowl'
edge of the true God by their idol.
airy, lut that brighter day was
now dawning upon them. Jesus Christ was
spoken Of as one Of the greatest Of prophets
and his teachings are being considered o., as
the best Many were accepting faith
in him. In Hindoo the families were
divided, the men being separated from the
women. A lImdoo woman has nothing to
make her scclusion pleasant; she has to vile
away her time in Incidence. A Brahmin could
be employed for a few dollars to write q
treatise in favor Of christianity, or they can
commit murder adultery or any other horrible
crime so long as thoy keen the rules Of caste,
not induce them TO take a drink Of water
from the hands of Queen Victoria, the prosi.
dent of the United States or any other not of
their caste. The men, to propagate his caste,
arc required to have male issue, and in case
they do not the husband, sometimes very
reluctantly, is required to take another wife.
Marriages were made In very carly life. A
boy aud girl were often married at the age Of
three years. 1t was nothing unusual for Goa.
tracts Of marriage to be made before the chill
drcn were born, and instances have occurred
where the girl had been born q widow, the
male having como into tho world still.
born. Tho missionary work was very
difficult one. The malo missionary was
not allowed to approach tho women, but the
female missionary was. When a missionary
approached one Of them and told her that she
had mind to educate, tho Hindoo woman would
reply: my husband, my father. my grand.
father, not l." and when told she had soul TO
save, she would mako tho same reply. In
speaking to the children present he said there
were as many children in India rs there
were inhabitants in the United statos
There were 10000 COO children there aud thoy
were taught to worship monkeys, cows OF
snakes, and there wasno object, no matter how
hideous, that they would not worship. When
one of the women became a widow she wa.
ostraclsod, required to live by herself and IN
the summer months compelled to fast. II
would be better for hor 10 do as thUy did IN
oldon times, and for her to go 10 the funeral
pile with, her dead husband, according to the
| ancient custom. Last evening tho Row. Mr.
Bose preached at the Metropolitan church.
