The fashionable ladies at LeadviIle
are quite as stylish as our eastern bellies,
although perhaps little louder. 1t APP
pears to be the prevailing style here, if
one has them, to wear diamonds and full
evening dress at the breakfast table. But
this is simply matter of taste. A fine
class of people can be found in Leadville,
and many pretty residences grace the
principal streets. Leadville by gaslight
is a revelation to one unacquainted to the
strange life of these western mining
camps. Harrison avenue, the main
thoroughfare, is brilliantly Illuminated
from one end to the other, and from the
hotel window I can look down upon
throngs of people. The street is fairly
lined with pedestrians, and handsome
turnouts and fast horses make the boule-
wards lively. What this town must have
been in '78 cannot imagine, it is so full
of life now. This mountain town, which
seems so dull and prosaic by daylight, is
certainly a most charming and pictur-
esque spot by gaslight. Boston

Religions in India.

The latest statistics upon this subject,
founded upon the census of 1882, show
that out of the grand total of the popu-
lation of British India, which is given at
254, 899, SIG, the various sects and castles
of Hindoos made up no less than 49,
937, $50. The Mohammedans, who came
next in order, numbered 50,121, $50.
The nature worshippers, or demonola-
tors, numbered 6, 1926, 511; the Buddhists,
8, 418, 844; Christians, 1862, 634; jams,
a sect whose worship is mingled Budd-
hism and Hinduism, j, 221, 1896; the Sikhs,
who are simple THESIS, 853, 426; and
those who come under the heading of
other creeds, or were altogether inspect
fed, 3,057, $50. The Christians emu
merated are exclusive of persons of
European nationality. The number of
Roman Catholic Christians was set down
as COS, 05S, or little over half a million.
Indeed, a strict scrutiny is stated to have
brought out the total of native Protest
ant Christians as only a little over half a
million. But this number shows the
very satisfactory increase of eighty-six
per cent in ten years, as in 1871 the total
was only S,36S; thirty years ago the
number Of native Christians was only
1O2, 95L- In 1861 this number had in
creased by ffty-three per cent, and
again in 1871 by sixty-one per cent, so
that there has been for some time back
rapid and unbroken progress.

any, was really committed upon the 16.h or
