How to Get a Wife in India.
Life in Bombay.

| When a man in a decent rank of life | wishes to marry, and can prove that he | possesses the means of maintaining a wife, it is customary for him to apply to | the mistress of the Byculla school, state | his wishes and qualifications, and in- quire into the number and character of | the marriageable girls. An investigation | immediately follows as to eligibility; and l fall promises satisfactorily he is forth with invited to drink tea with the school
 mistress upon an appointed evening, to give him an opportunity of making his selection. The elder girls are then in. formed of his intended visit and it's pur- port; and those who desire to enter the
 matrimonial lists come forward and sig
 nifty their wish to join the party. Ere quently four or five competitors make their appearance on these occasions in
 the mistress room. The gentleman,
 while doing his best to make himself
 universally agreeable, yet contrives, in
 the course of the evening, to mark his
 preference for one particular lady. Should
 these symptoms of budding affection be
 favorably received, he tenders his pro-
 posals in due form on the following
 morning. But it often occurs that the
 lady selected does not participate in the
 inamorata's sudden flame, in which case
 she is at perfect liberty to decline the
 honor of his alliance, and reserves her
 self for the next tea party exhibition.
 We have known an instance when an amorous old gentleman from an out station presented himself at these soi- rees three successive times in the hope of obtaining a wife to cheer the solitude of his up-country residence, but all in vain; the young ladies unanimously re- jected him with the highest disdain, wondering ''how such an ugly old fellow could have the impudence to think of wife" But very different reception is given to the flashing young sergeant or smart-looking conductor; their attentions are never repulsed, and the announce ment of the "chosen intendeds," as Miss Squeers would say, is anticipated with the utmost impatience by many an anx- ious young heart. The wedding speedi- ly follows, the brides modest "trousss seau" being provided from the funds of the establishment, and every girl in the school cheerfully contributing her aid in the manufacture of the dresses.

-A Rad Hahit.
,nsas f,itx saturday. Evening Herald.

hatlruc A bad habit prevails among news paper writers of pandering to national conceit whenever called upon to discuss question agitating some foreign nation. To persons conyersant with the facts the compositions of these editors are usually so much nonsense, and enough of it has been fed to the people of Kansas City, that all mentally deaf and dumb and veallv persons are of the opinion that outside the boundaries of this great re- public, nothing but dense political dark ness and outrage prevails. The harsh ness of some law proyokes agitation in Europe Forthwith American editors sit in judgment and condemn, when, per haps. at the very moment a more harsh law of the kind has place, in the stat ute books of their own State. A question might very well be raised as to whether republicanism is the spirit of freedom, or whether it is merely an invention by which people will tamely submit to more injustice, tyranny and wrong than they would under any other form of govern ment known among men. It would look that way if foreigners are restive under the operation of q law while we are con- graduating ourselves on our submission
 
 besetting sin, and sure road to ultimate disgrace. It is pity that men cannot write and speak without prejudice, and that allowances are not made for pre- vious conditions or local surroundings Wherever there is rivalry there appears to be envy and hate. Histories are per verted and facts concealed and distorted to suit the popular whim. No candid scholar would put his hand on the ordin- ary national history and say, Here is | truth" The student has to draw his in- | ferences from opposing records, and reaches hisopinion through considerable | mistrust. It may seem a somewhat sweeping assertion. but the only true history is the biblical history. In this | history we find no toneing down, but the shortcomings of kings and people are laid bare with divine scalpel This history could not have been conner cial success, and it would be well for the searcher after truth to lay his modern history alongside the Jewish one, and 1 observe how they match. To the honor l of the Hebrew race they have never for saken this history for flattering lie, and there example is monument to l their candor and integrity.

SUPERSTITION,
4 Remarkable Case of It Among Negroes
 In Virginia.


 Fincasile fva) Dispatch to Chicago Tribune.
 A remarkable case of negro supersti- ton and belief in witchcraft has just come to light here. About two miles from this place lives respectable colored man. Willis Wilson, with his wife and several children. He until now has lived happy welded life, when he claims that Pleasant Walker, another negro, crossed his path and bewitched him. Wilson came in court to-day and told a wonderful story, after being sworn, and his statement was corroborated by many negro witnesses. The matter came in court upon q warrant sworn out by Pleas ant Walker, who alleged that Wilson and his son were hunting for him with shotguns, and he appealed to the law for protection. It was proved that Wilson had been looking for Walker with gun, and the court asked Wilson to explain his actions, whereupon he stated his grievance.
 He said that some four months ago four persons came to his house and were kindly treated. One of them only, Sally John son. upon leaving, shook hands with his (Wilson's) wife, and held her hand longer than usual. The party left, and were scarly out of sight before his wife's hand commenced to itch and swell. By night the ailment had reached her shoulder. Homemade remedies were used without effect, and by midnight it had reached her head and she was nearly crazy with itching and burning, insisting further that she hada bullet in her eye. Several of the leading white physicians were called in, but could do nothing for her nor tell her what caused her sufferings. | They all affirm that she seemed to suffer greatly.
 Her husband then brought Henry Henderson, of Roanoke, a noted coored conjurer. He at once pronounced the woman conjured. On the occasion of his | visit Henderson was asked to sit down, and at the time several of the four per sons present at the commencement of the trouble were i'll the room, but he de- clined, saying: There are now too many devils around. At this the unwelcome visitorsS fled, and Dr. Henderson knelt down and prayed. He then mixed and applied certain medicines, whereupon i from her swollen arm and breast came lizards and ground puppies, the witness swearing that he saw them himself From that time her recovery was rapid. The outraged husband said he had as- certained that Walker gave Sally John son the power to coniure his wife, and for this reason he had determined to kill Walker. The judge bound Wilson over to keep the peace. The negroes are greatly excited over the matter, and Walker is social pariah among them, and they flee from him whenever he ap- breaches, fearing that he will conjure them. In fact, number have moved into the adjoining county to get from the range of his power.

MR. KING, in recent letter from Li- beria, writes that he has been selling copies of the Arabic Gospels to the syeys, who send in for them. The young men of this tribe are endeavoring to learn the Arabic language, although the Veys have syllable alphabet of their own invention. There are many Mo hammedans throughout the country north of Liberia, whose influence is con- stantly extending It is believed that the translation of the Bible into Arabic assures for it many readers among the disciples of Islam, and as these occupy the large part of Africa north of the tenth parallel of latitude, there is much to be hoped for by developments such as the one reported by Mr. King.

Depicting Themselves,

A writer in London Society treats the subject of how every man writes his own memoirs, and makes, among others, the following interesting observations: It is simply impossible for great writer to avoid au autobiographical element in his writings. This IS very clearly seen in the three great writers of the Victo- rian epoch who have left Us within re- cent memory-Lord AItton, Mr. Dickens, and Mir. Thackeray. In the case of Lord Lytton, 1t is remarkable that time, which generally thins the reputation of great men, has gone far to advance his. It is curious that he always steadily protests against identifying his own life with that of his heroes, yet the Identification IS thoroughly complete. Sometimes, h. deed, he IS ready to admit the "soft impeachment" He denied it in Ernest Maltravers" - the work which Mrs. Browning loved so well-which. never theless, is very autobiographical in character; but in "Devereux" he aims at the real and confeSses that his work has some of the characteristics of an autobi- ography. It is easy to see that he was a very industrious man, and when he tells us that he spent so much time in the pursuit of scholarship and metaphysics, 1t Is quite easy to credit it. It is the fashion to laugh at what is called the high flown" portion of his writings; but there is no other writer who has inter woven so much thoughtfulness into his fiction. His son, Earl Lytton, is a better poet, but he would be utterly incompe- tent to write one of his fathers stories. It IS interesting to note how Lord Lyt- ton, in a sort of fashion, is always hint ing at his own memoirs. Of course. one does not wish, through any personal stories or tittle-tattle, to identify him with any of the incidents which he de- lineates. But one or two curious points may be noted. As Lord Lytton gets on in the world he makes his heroes mount the social tree. At the commencement of My Novel," Audley Edgerton is a minister of state; he is not a cabinet minister, but just below the line which separates cabinet ministers from other ministers. And before the close of the novel, Audley is supposed to be one of the ruling spirits of the cabinet and their spokesman to the country. The explan- ation is that Lord Iytton had gone up Tn the world and become a cabinet min ister himself. Similarly, as Lord Lytton gets old, the heroes of his love stories become ever older and older. The sue cessful lovers of his latter Actions are middle-aged men, who are becomingold men. He has a chronology of fiction which corresponds with the chronology of his own life. He identifies himself with his heroes, and his heroes with himself Mir Thackeray was steadfastly opposed to the idea of ever having his memoirs written, but none the less he has been writer of his own memoirs.

AccoRDING to Prof Tyndall, Dr. Wallis of the University of Oxford. is the in- yentor of wholly new method of bring ing outcast Israel into the Christian pale. He would have them set out on voyage round the world sailing westward as Sir Francis Drake did, and being particular as good Hebrews would, to observe their Saturday Sabbath until they brought round to the point of departure again. They would then find that their day of rest and worship had steadily overlapped until at length it had just coincided with the Christian Sunday. Henceforth they would keep the same day with the rest of us. Dr. Wallis is wag, evidently. What he meant to intimate is that reii- gious discrepencacies come from lack of a roundabout acquaintance with the world.
