VILLAGE Life in Western India.

In his new work on the industrial
Arts Of India" Mr. c. NJ. Birdwood
says Of the typical village;
Outside tie entrance of the single
village street, on an exposed rise of
ground, the hereditary potter sits by
his wheel, molding the swift revolving
clay by the natural curves OF his hands.
AT the back Of the houses which form
the low, irregular street. there are two
or three looms at work in blue and
scarlet and gold, the frames hanging
between the acacia trees the yellow
flowers Of which drop fast on the webs
as they are being woven. In the street
the brass aud coppersmiths are ham
mering away at their pots and pans,
and further down, in the veranda Of
the rich mans house, is the jeweler
working rupees and gold lnohrs into
fair jewelry, gold and silver earrings,
and round tires like the moon, bracelets
and tablets and noserings, and tinkling
ornaments for the feet, taking his de-
signs from the fruits and flowers around
him, or from the traditional forms rep
resented in the paintings and carvings
OF the great temple, which rises over
the grove Of mangoes and palms at
the end of the street, above the lotus
covered village tank. At haf-past 8 or
in the afternoon the whole street is
lighted up by the moving robes of the
women going down to draw water
from the tank, each with two or three
water jars on her head; and so, while
they are going and returning in single
file, the scene CLOVIS like 1ian's can.
vas, and moves like the stately process
sion OF the Panathenaic frieze, Later,
the men drive in the mild gray kline
from the moaning plain, the looms are
folded up, the coppersmith is silent, the
elders gather in the gate, the lights be-
gin to glimmer in the fast-falling dark
ness the feasting and the music are
heard on every side, and late into the
night the songs are sung from the Ra-
mayana or Mahabarata, The next
morning with sunrise, after the simple
additions and alterations, performed in

day begins again This is the daily
life going on all over Western India, in
the village communities of the Dakhan,
among people happy in their simple
manners and frugal way Of life, and in
the culture derived from the grand
epics of a religion in which they live
and move and have their daily being,
and in which the highest expression of
their literature, art and civilization has
been stereotyped for 5000 years"

An Ancient Dwarf,

A correspondent Of the Louisville
Cow1er-JoWuol, writing from Mont
Grey, KY, says! II opened an Indian
mound near here some time ago II
was about four feet high, and contained
great many large stones, Apparent
ly they had been carried great way
up a steep hill. AT the bottom found
the remains of strange being, just
four feet high. His bones were very
sound; his forehead was not an inch
high, but was very broad He was put
away very carefully between Hat rocks
and covered with charcoal On the
mound there was very large rotten
stump, which looks as II il might have
been white oak three and half feet
in diameter. In the grave found
spear seven inches long, of red flint;
also very curious ilints OF smaller size,
and at his feet singular speckled flint
with n fine edge TO il. The bones are
not red like an Indians, but of dark
ashy color. The teeth are perfect. and
seem to have been used long time,
which proves that he was DID, although
only four feet high, There are other
mounds similar to this one here, and
very different from the common Indian
graves, which are full Of bones Of differ
ent color, being red, and all thrown in
carelessly."

The Inconsistency of Foster !

Last week Gov. Foster issued a
proclamation upon the shooting of
President Garfield, requesting the peo
pie of the State to suspend all usual
Fourth of July demonstrations and to
meet in the churches to pray for the
recovery of the President. He gained
somewhat in the esteem of the people
thereby, but his hypocritical line
would not permit him to follow his
own advice and loose chance of max
ing couple of votes, as the following
dispatch explains:
URBANA, o., Jnly Ex-Governor Foster violated his
own proclamation to the people Of the State to omit
administrative observance of tho Fourth of July
out Of respect to the precarous condition of the Pres
ident, By being present and making speech at the
Fourth Of July Celebration at North Lewisburg, In
this county The celebration of the Fourth in that
town was on q moro demostrative and hilarious
scale than has been known in this section for years.
and the Governors presence and counenance OF the
conduct Of the masses of the people present was in
excessively bad tase as in contrast with the aspect
Of mourning that st all other points characterized the
great natal day. His action is not only criticised
here but BY many condemned in the severest terms,
asi will be throughout the State when known.
