Englishmen and Hindns.

With all the intimacy, and even
equality, that exists between English
and native gentlemen when they are
associated for purposes of business,
there can, generally speaking, be no
exchange of Inequalities of ordinary
kinds, as among people of the same
nation. Besides the difficulty presented
by the customs of private life, there is
the other impeachment above referred to
the rules and practice of caste. We
are invited to an entertainment, let us
say, with some other English people by
a Hindu gentleman of rank. Ii any
one thinks he will here have an oppor-
tunity of realizing his visions of Eastern
banquets and Eastern manners he will
be disappointed. 1t is big English
dinner; but there is no host The man
who is in the position of host feeds his
English guests after their manner, and
he keeps to his own. He will see them
by and by when the eating is over. Or
II the Hindu gentleman comes invited
to some English entertainment be does
not eat with the Europeans or take of
their food elsewhere. He may sit beside
them at dinner, but more commonly he
stays away, or sits in another room till
this is over. We see at once that this
is something quite different from social
distinctions among ourselves. 1t means
neither difference of rank nor undesira-
BILE company. 1t is a requirement of
his inherited state as Hindu, but it is
no piece of family pride. And there is
no blame to him that his way is not
ours. There it is, however, enforcing,
without any natural reasons of the kind
Just referred to, separation in respect
OF this most social of all social customs,
especially sacred from ancient times
among Eastern nations, where the man
shat eats of another's salt" she that
eateth bread with him, is the familiar
description of the close associate or the
friendly guest. This is nothing, OF
course, in itself. People can get on very
well without eating together. The him
drance to social equality is not in this
rule and practice, which is mere out
ward thing, but in theidea which under.
lies it. which implies necessary dis
tinction and separation, though neces-
sary on one side only. We see the rela-
ton which this assumes between the
one and the other, as between race and
race or class and class, though there is
no .pretension of superiority in the indi-
vidnal. This obstacle, too, IL begin.
ming to give way.-Natio,saI Revtew.

from the department hereafter.
G. A. Bowers Of Ohio was called and
testified to the general good reputation
of Charles a. Garfield.

Garfield was indicted in Indiana, but
did not know the cause Of his arrest.
Martin Perky. Philetus Smith, d.
G.. Baxter, NJ. NJ. Bonther, d. r. VIII
let and G.. w. Hopkins OF OHIO gave
similar evidence. They were NIL asked
by Roynton in reference 10 the arrest
OF Garfield in Ohio on the charge of
couuterfeiting, but the question in
each case was ruled out.
Boynton said he wished to establish
the fact that Charles Garfield was in
dicted for burglary aud some other Of
lenses, which he had not as yet an
swered, aud that there was matter OF
combination between Garfield, his
son. one Slayen and one Mcdonald,

In thnt section of country. Garlield's
son was tried for burglary Ia COL

wards he was concealed in Gariield'H
house, taken out by Garfield and
others and run off. He WAS traced
by law officers, brought back and con-
victeGsaud was now in the peitentiary.
Garfield was brought into these con

him. The occupation OF Garfield In

show that NJ least six witnesses against
him were men who had either served

Coleman thought Boynton's re-
marks would have proved he was adj
dicted to making malicious attacks
upon persons, if that. fact had not been
testified to by witness. So far IA any
examination into reputation was CON

this morning seemed to surprise even the

no small amounts right up to the finish.
