Fcasting in India.

Squatting in the centre Of piles of various
delicacies is the vendor. And curious are
these sweets. Milky cream and coarse brown
sugar are their chief ingredients. No attempt
is made at decoration In fact, the native
would not appreciate anything which savored
of delicacy. His cookery is always strong.
lIorrid garlic, greasy CHI, or clarified butter
condiments at which the European would
sicken-are the 5OHaeS bopches of their culin-
ary efforts. The quantity of sweets a strong
man consumes borders upon the marvellous.
The reason is Of easy account. A Hindu by
his religion is forbidden to eat meat and the
most nourshng food he can then obtain IL
saccharine matter. \ sweetneat called jef-
iobi is in high esteem. This is made in imi-
tation of hollow coil of rope and filed with
treacle. mouthfu 10 tender stomach is

in such gastronomic feats for one boy has
been known to eat Mt q sitting about twelve
solid pounds. The doctors prophesed Of him
immediate death, but he smiled sickly and
thought n draught of milk would set him
right.
In all great native feasts confectionery
takes an important place. First. the guests
arrange themselves, then is handed round In
silver tray the altar. scent procured from
the rose. This is rubbed into the clothes Of
the guests. Then follow the pan and betel.

Just before dinner sherry and btters. The
taste il acid, but wiihal pleasant, and the
lime brightly reddens the lips. This is
greatly admired by the natives. Then follow
rice. sugar and milk, and pound upon pound
of the coarsest lollypops. Not word is
spoken during the feast. Each man Is bent
upon his meal and those who wish to highly
honor their host tie around their stomach,
before sitting down, a tender thread.
When this breaks the gentleman thinks
he has satisfied his appetite. As when in
olden times in Europe lady thought she
paid a compliment To her host when she said
she had been so drunk as TO forget how she
reached home. so n native of a certain caste
thinks he is courteous when he says the
repast was 40 good az TO cause severe indi.

A NEGRO PRINCE FROZEN TO DEATH.
Near Warrenton Junction there lived in
cabin by himself an old negro named
Hannibal Brown. He was brought to this
country from Africa about the year 1920.
He has always said his father was King,
who wore jewels and owned many men,
He was emancipated before the war. and
was one of the few colored men who owned
slaves, and we believe he is the only ex-
ception throughout the entire South who
retained and exercised all the rights of
owners ship after the war was over. He
was blacksmith, and one of the most
killed of wolkmen. He was devoted to
he cause of the South, and during the
war would not shoe horses for the Federal
soldiers, but whenever they applied COM
planned of pain in his back and went to
bed. On account of this devotion, which
he did not try to conceal, he was impris-
oned for several months in the old CAPITOL
at Washington. The bitter cold weather
which we have just had, found the old man
very feeble and with no one to see that he,
was properly cared for. He did not like
company and would not permit anyone to
live with him. 50 when the sun rose clear
and cold on Wednesday morning, the 10Th
| OF December, it peeped through the cracks
of old Hannibal's cabin and found him.

ering embers of his fire, dead, He had

Letter from the Famous Hot Springs
Correspondence of the Staunton VINDICAToR

VI a1hduDdSs
Correspondence OF the Staunton VINDIcAToRl
Hot SPRINGS, ARK, !
January 7th, 1881.
1t will answer the questions of many to
send through your columns some account
Of these remarkable waters and this thirty
ing city. This point is about 200 miles
Southwest of Memphis, via Little Rock &
Hot Springs r. e., which is a splendid lit
tie narrow guage branch Of Is miles from
the main line from St. Louis to Texas.
The improvement of the place IS now rapid
since the U. 5. Commissioners have set
tied titles, and a number of fiue buildings
are going up. Splendid hotels and extern
sive bath houses are erected. Big Iron
bath house is one of the best, under the
management of Col. Thornton, an old
graduate of the V. M. I.
The baths are supplied by two large
springs from 1870 to 1889 Farenheit, and
compelling bathers to admit cold water to
reduce it to 1909 or 1869. The writer tried
plunge in the limpid fluid at 11so but did
not care to stay long. There are many
springs bursting from the foot of the
mountain and quite creek-twice as large
as that flowing by the VINDICAToR office
the frosty air and hot enough in some OF
the springs to scald a pig. Dr. w. H.
Bear, an eminent physician here, recon-
mends these baths especially for rheuma-
tism, cutaneous and syphilitic affections;
and the number of visitors is constantly
increasing-last year reaching nearly thir-
ty thousand. The country is mountain
GUS. Lands not as rich as other portions
of the State but more healthy.

A Deer Hound Saves His Masters Life.

Herman Hutter and Charles Whitman,
OF Missaulia, armed with rifles and ac-
companied by deer hound, the other day
went up Rattlesnake river in quest OF
game. Mhey climbed the mountains to
the head of the stream and separated, ia
king opposite sides of the ridge, in the
hope of bagglng deer. Whitman came
down the Rattlesnake side, ard sc after
separating from his companion he slipped
and fell, sliding some two hundred feet
down the mountain side. He valniy en-
deayored to stop himself by digging into
the Snow with his hands and feet and
clutching at brush and saplings, till just
as he was about to be precipltated over the
cliff into the Rattlesnake, some forty feet
below, he fortunately clasped = strong sap
ling with one hand, and was left dangling
in the air over the precipice. By, strong
effort he managed to clasp the sapling
with his arm in the elbow, and grasping
his istswiJh the disengaged hand, await
ed his inevitable fall with DESPERATION
The hound seeing his master fall followed
him to the edge of the cliff and Whined
piteously at the predicament OF his human
friend Suddenly he dashed off over the
hilf like deer and disappeared When
nearly exhausted Whitman heard his COM
panion, Hutter, above nim, coming to his
assistane. He gathered renewed courage,
and held desperat ely till Hutter came down
with a rope and rescued him from his per-
ll0us position. Hutte' says he had gone
but short distance, hen the dog came
upon him and seized hold of his clothing,
whining. He turned upon him and the
dog ran off. Repeating the strange ma
neuvre, Hutter suspected something
wrong and followed the dog to Whitman's
rescue.-Hegena (llontanal Independent.
