A Bazaar in India

The immense number OF stalls 10r
sweetmeats is among the most strik-
ing peculiarities of a native bazaar.
The consumption thereof must be
tremendous, to say nothing OF the
quantity Of sugar-cane which old and
young seem to munich whenever they
are not chewing betel, And yet the
beauty of their teeth is by no means in
accordance with our theories of the
disadvantage of such dainties. Every
mouth alike displays rows of such
dazzling ivory as put most Europeans
to shame-the latter too often remind
ing us of that Northrmbrian farmer
who went to "canny Newcastle" to in
vest in a set of false teeth, and re-
turned with complete set of box
wood, which, as he justly remarked,
were only half and price "mair the col
or of the aud anes." Perhaps respect
full insolence could hardly have devils
ed a more cutting remark than that of
a bearer who, when his master had
thoroughly lost his temper, observed
with low salaam, and quite in accord
ance with his duty as valet, that he
thought master had forgotten to brush
his teeth that morningl A: to the ma
tives, they are forever brushing theirs,
or rather polishing them with a soft
flat stick about the width Of your fin
ger. AS You pass through a native
town in the early morning, it seems
as if the whole population had turned
out Of their houses to perform this
part of their toilet in public, and such
an amount of scraping and polishing
goes on that you marvel how any
enamel is left. Nor is this the only
part Of the morning adornment that
occurs in public. The bath is cit her
at the river or the open tank, but
promiscuous washing goes on in the
streets at all hours and seasons, as
does also the work of the barber, who
reduces the fine, silky black hair to a
very small top-knot This is the only
moment when the lower caste Hindus
are ever seen bare-headed. If, there
fore, you care to mark the strange di-
versity of fcranial development between
the elongated high skulls of the upper
castes and the low type common
to the serfs, or low castes, lin other
words, the descendants of the Aryans
and those of the aboriginal races of In
dia), the barber's hour will give you
ample opportunity for study. In
short, but for this little celestial top
knot you might imagine, as you glance
at group OF those shining skulls, that
you had got intoa colony of the hair
less men of Australia; that curious
tribe of aborigines known as the Bald
Men of the Finders and Albert rivers,
who literally are destitute Of any YES
tige of hair, and 60 through life from
their birth to their grave as bald as a
billiard ball. Certainly mother nature
would have saved the Hindus a great
deal of trouble if she had created then
with the same deficiency. Next comes
the painting of those curious lines and
marks on the face, denoting caste and
otherwise symbolcal. Some have
three white lines, others perpendicular
stripes; a small horizontal line on the
forehead denotes having bathed, ir
fact, being ready for society. Other
marks show at whose shrine worship
has been offered; the trident, for in
stance, denoting the worshipers o.
Sisa.

man. From this line west for $50 miles
every square mile is infested by these
devouring pests. They thickly inhabit

200 miles wide. The advent OF the
white man into this country has but
increased their numbers, as man has
destroyed the wolves, badgers, rattle

eat the grass In the summer and the
roots in the winter. and the consequence

all other animals In America, the prairie
dog is immigrating, Eot west, but east.

vanced his eastern line about five miles in

His Annoying Experience in q Phila-

min +. Butler passed through Philadel-
phin twice to-day, at o'clock in the
morning, on bis way from New York to
Mechanicsburg to address the Graugers
at their picnic, and at $50 o'clock in the
evening on his way back to New York.
On the second visit he remained lust
five minutes, which be devoted to an un-
successful effort to get something to cat.
The train was an hour late, and he had
not had his dinner. As soon as his car
stopped he iaboriously let himself down
to the platform and tottered toward the
restaurant in the front Of the building.
He WAS alone. He wore a broad
brimmed PaHama bat, such rs farmers
wear, only of liner material, and on the
lapel Of his coat rested q nosegay OF
white and red roses against back
ground Of verbens leaves.

"Oh, lot me have few sandwiches OF

"ill right, sir," said the conductor
and the General turned back and started
70 get onto the first car he came to
which was Q square or two from the par
lor car In which he had come. His ne
gro body servant. however, told him i
was the wrong car and led him bacl
down the platform. Seated in his prop
er place, the General took of his farnel
hat and, handing IL to his valet, tolt
him to hang it up. II won't want it il

A Convenient cry.

It Is very old trick Of the pro.
fessionai pickpocket to dodge round .
corner aa soon ~ he secures his booty,
and then to mingle with the rushing
crowd and raise the cry Of 'sstop thief. /"
The Republican managers have prof
tied BY the ingenuity OF the Light
fingered School. They have learned
from II one Of the most useful devices
Of their campaign.
Here 4 : specimen. The government
clerks have not responded to the call Of
the blsckmailing assessment Committee
q promptly - st We Elkins and his 90
workers have desired. The employees
are aware that under the Civil Service
act they arc supposed to be protected
from this organized political robbery by
which good percentage of their not
ovsr-liberal salaries has been forced from
them BY official brigsnds at every Presi-
Dental and Congressional election. They
knew that II Il made an offense to assess
them, and an offense on their part to
pay an assessment, and they fall back on
the law to keep their money in their
pockets.
To coercs the unwilling office holders
Into compliance, : circular has been is
sued from the Republican Finance Com
rnfttes headquarters at Washington,
signed ''Grsen B. Raum," ia which the
nou-psyi ing clerks are notified that their
Indifference to Republican success is not
becoming to . beneficiary Of this Gey-
ernment, and they are threatened with
removal ION or before March next"

Another Thief Furnishing Himself
with Winter Clothes.

Henry Ellis (colOred) lived at Turner'S
stable up 10 about ten days ago, when he stole
a pair Of shoes and a coat from Mr.. Turner.
and made good his escape. Dir. Turner got
out warrant for Ellis, but he was not seen
until Yesterday, when he went TO
Mr.. Joe Odenheimer's residence, cor
ner OF Broad and College streets, with
a "mcSSage" To Mrs. Odenheimer, pur-
porting 10 be from her husband asking her
to send him certain articles Of clothing.
Mrs. Odenheimer, recognizing Ellis as "A
man who had worked at her husbands
stable. delivered to him one Overcoat, two
dress.cOatS. three pairs OF pant>, and three
vests.
Later Mrs. Odenheimcr, doubling the
gcnuinene>s Of the message she had re-
ceived. sent word TO her husband at his
place OF business " hat she had done. Mr.
Odenheimer went Immediately 10 the First
police station, secured the services OF
officer Lamkin. and started out IN search
Of the thief. Mr.. Odenheimer, who was
somewhat in advance OF the officer, discoy-
cred Ellis on Broad street. above
the Chesapeake and ohio depot, and
attempted 10 arrest him. Ellis re-
sisted and would probably have made his
escape but for the timely approach OF Officer
Lamkn. The oyercoat was found in his
possession and the other articles at Ann
Ford's, col0red woman, who keeps a
secondhand clothing-store on Broad street.
near the Chesapeake and Ohio depot. she
surrendered the articles. Ellis l. a notorl-
Gus thief, having been convicted Of petit
