paris Letter to London TRUTH
Gear Alexander's Widow,

The Princess Dolgorouki inspires much in
terest here. She was for some years the Gov
eminent of Russia, and now that have seen
her can fully understand that she liked to
govern. Before the Gear, her husband, was
assassinated, she inclined little to enaboapoint
Since that event took place she has recovered
the senderness of eighteen. One is struck with
her suavity, gentle decision and graceful forms
of expression. She is one of those women who
would look the lady in cotton dress, and SIM
pie in brocade. Though her feet are small she
wears long Dress which does not, however,
trail. The Princess adj according to Russian
custom, her hair cut off, although place was
not allowed for it in Alexander's coffin. Her
complexion is still fresh and of the texture Of
rose petal The present Gar has done moth
ing to deprive her of the fortune which his late
father left her. She has a large retinue with
her. 1t is not her present intention ever to go
back to Russia. She is afraid the Nihilists, or
a group of them, might lay hold of her son and
proclaim him National Emperor in opposition
to the German one, who is now afraid to stir
out of Gatschina. The boy resembles both Al
exander III and Nicholas, but his eyes are not
SO staring as theirs were. He is neither plain
nor handsome, but is remarkable. One sees
that puzzlipg ideas and reflections have been
turned over in his young brain, and that he al
ready has painful consciousness OF his false
position The girls are fresh, fair little things,
and the Youngest knows nothing more about
the tragedy of March 10 than that it is the
cause Of her doll being in mourning. The
whole party, dogs and all, are sumptsously
lodged. One of the animals was the daily COM
panion of the Gar in his walks, and slept at
the side of his bed.

Mr.. Reeds Seat.

The Augusta New Age, following the
lead of the Argus and other Fusion papers,
says Thomas B. Reed was not elected to the
seat he now holds in Congress. The House
committee on elections, made up of nine
Republicans and six Democrats and Green
hackers, thought differently, and unapim-
ously reported that he is entitled to his seat.
The House, made up of 146 Republicans, 135
Democrats, and - Independents, accepted
the report of the committee unanimously.
The following is the report given in the Con-
gressional Record:
Mr. Hazelton-Ia am instructed by the Committee.
on Elections to present the unanimous report OF
that committee IN reference to the contested 81 &C.
ton case of Anderson Reed, from the nrst 70 n
gressonal district of Maine j ask for the consider
alton of the resolutions at the present time.
The Clerk read the resolutions, as follows:
ResolUed That the contestant, Samuel d. Ander-
son. not elected and is not entitled 10 seat IN
this Congress.
was elected and is entitled to retain his seat Ia this
Congress-
MT Eandall-In the noise did not understand
distinctly whether the gentleman from Wisconsin
said this unanimous report.
MIR. Hazelton-It is, as understand.
The resolutions were adopted.
Mr.. Hazelton moved to reconsider the vote by
which the resolutions were adopted; and also moved
that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table,
The latter motion was agreed to.
This means that the contestant could not
even make out plausible case, and that the
contest was unanimously dismissed by a
House nearly equally divided in political
sentiment. What has the New Age to say
to this?
The Portland daily press., 1882-07-22

the matter might be settled. So he went up
and kicked Siya The result was terrible:
that god burst into wild passion and destroyed
some millions of worlds before he Gained down
again. The Deva then kicked Brahma. This
deity became angry, and grumbled and growied
little, but did nothing in particular. The
Deva then approached Vishnu, who was
asleep, but awoke, instantly on being kicked.
He caught the foot that had given the blow,
and stroking it with his hand, said he hoped it
was not hurt, at the same time manifesting a
warm anxiety as if he had been the cause of
pain to the Deva, or as if heshad done him an
injury. The feeling against taking life, even
of the most insignificant insects, which the
Hindus carry at times to very extravaganza ex-
tremes, is somehow connected with the wor-
ship of Vishnu, or is derived from Buddhism,
two forms of faith which are thought to have
been closely related, and both of which seem
to have had something to do with the origin of
it will be seen that the destruction of life must
be utterly opposed to such attributes, and that
it would be out of harmony with the spirit
which ought to guide in the worship Of Vishnu
or Jagannatha The Temple services present
ms with an illustration of this Should by ac-
cident any person die within the temple walls,
the ceremonies are at once stopped the offer
ings are considered as polluted and have to be
carried away, and the whole place is looked
upon as being unclean till it has been purified.
When the Ratha Yatra, or Car Festival,
takes place, accidents do happen; there are
thousands pulling the ropes by which the cars
are moved. 1t is impossible to stop such
mass, and if any one should fall, he may be
trampled upon by such a surging crowd, and
the wheels of the car may also go over the
body; but the frequency of such events has
been exaggerated, and if there is blame, it is
doubtful if Jagannatha should be made answer
able 1t has often happened when the Queen
or the Prince of Wales has made state visit
to the city that very serious accidents have oc-
CURED, attended with loss of life; as matter
of fact such state professions through the
streets of London have seldom taken place
without some one in the crowd losing his life,
vet no one ever dreams of ascribing to the roy
al personages just named such character as
has been given to Jagannatha During the
Car Festival self-immolation takes place.
This also has been very much exaggerated,
Hamilton, in his Gazetteer, states that during
the four years prior to 1920 only three cases oc-
Cured, one said to be accidental, and the 9th
or two to get rid of excrucisting diseases with
which the victims were tormented." Ii this
is anything like fair estimate of the death
rate, there need be no hesitation in asserting,
on the basis of statistics, that the British cab
is much more bloodthirsty institution than
the Car of Jagannatha.

THE pension bill which was passed last
week calls to mind the hackneyed saying
about the ingratitude of Republics. 1t is
now nearly twenty years since the war
closed, and since then millions of dollars
have been paid out in pensions every year.
Yet this bill which has just gone through
Congress appropriates $100,000,000 for the
purpose of paying arrearages. Such gener-
osity as this may or may not be praisewor-
thy or justiiable, but it is at least altogether
incompatible with the idea that Republics
are ungrateful. No nation ever took such
care of its disabled soldiers as the United
States has taken of the veterans of the civil
war. Their payment now absorbs more
money every year than any of the European
nationss pay for the,maintenance of their
colossal ornaments.

THE unreconstructed editor of the Mer-
curry, published at Meridian, Mississippi,
alludes to the Fourth of July in the follow
ing style: "Fourth of July is day for the
Yankees and negroes in the South to cele-
brate, but it has lost its significance for us.
To us the buzzard is a filter emblem of the
filthy Government that makes fellow citizens
of the people of African descent and to the
utmost of its power now puts them above
the white manu.

The Real Worship of Juggernaut.


Jagannatha's relation to the Hindu mythol-
ogy will partly explain his true nature. He is
one of the manifestations of Vishnu, and is
supposed to be the same as Krishna. The
forms under which Vishnu is worshipped are
more or less connected with love, while the
manifestations of silva are. on the contrary OF
a fierce and terrible kind Had the character
given to Jagannstha been attributed TO Slva'
something like justification might be found ior
it. There is weli-known legend which Illus
trates the character of these deities Among

discussion had arisen as to the reputation OF
the principal personages. One of the Devas at
last proposed to try practical test by which

FORTUNE, which has favored the Ministry
in Egypt, turns frowning face in Ireland.
The difficulties already surrounding the sit
uation are complicated by a threatened fam.
inc. The crops which had promised un-
usual abundance are now reported destroyed
by season Of inclemency. Against every
thing but famine a resolate Government
may make Roadway. But the best disposed
tenants are apt to be fit for treasons, spoils
and stratagems when the granaries are
empty and the larder bare. Against ills of
this sort, coercion, repression, even arrears,
will work in vain; if the promise of distress
be kept, it will be armed rebellion rather
than passive resistance that the Ministry
will have to count with from Antrim to
Kerry.

CROP reports from the Western States are
becoming more and more satisfactory, and
while it is almost certain that the yield of
wheat and oats will be extraordinarily large
and fine, the indications are that corn will
be much more successful than was expected
few weeks ago. The hot weather which
has been causing SO much discomfort in the
city has been UNNECESSARILY beneficial to
the harvest, and has been worth millions of
dollars day to the country. If the wealth
er only continues favorable until the crops
have been gathered in, prosperous Fall and
Winter season will be assured.

THE Suez Canal, although generally sup
posed to be peculiarly and essentially use
full to England as connection with her
Indian Empire, turns out to be also at the
present time the route chosen for the Rus
sian exiles destined for the coast of Siberia,
who, instead of being marched overland
with so much suffering, hardship and loss
of life, are now sent by ship loads by the sea
route through the Mediterranean, the Suez
Canal, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean to
the Island of Saghalien.

Boston Advertiser: A Greenback candi-
date for Congress in Maine, Mr.. d. e..
Thing, is also the Democratic nominee. In
his letter of acceptance, addressed to the
Democratic committee, this versatile polite
ian says that not only during this campaign,
but through his life, he will be in "perfect
accord,'' with the Democratic party, and all
others laboring to make our government one
of the people and for the people. A man
who can pledge absolute agreement with all
parties for all time deserves place among
living curiosities.
