Genuine BaboO English.

The following characteristic and perfectly genuine specimen of '.Baboo English was
 written by a bene voIent Indian gentleman, sditor of a newspaper published there It should he explained that jinricsha is 8 small vehicle, vhich should contain one pas senger only, and is drawn by eoolie:
 Sir: After refrigerating the mind by the fair cooingIzephyr at night, and exhorting, the mind by the artificial tune at the garden when all went in high glee to dream out the scene, poor jinricsha coofie, a starveling, was issuing out warm breath, and deprecat- ing propitious God. A trial was made to worm out his secret grief at best, and in lieu, the information of his that day earnings, which were limited to the extent of some cop per coins, was gained. After the hard mus ouIar labor which sumptsr-a brute quite below the degree of man scarcely undergoes he gained not at all sufficient to keep him self from starving. Here the complaint is not for the fare so parsimoniously paid, but for the cruelty of overlooking and placing onerous burden far below the limit of reason- ing
 Jinricsha and wheelbarrow men are con- sidered as brutes. No one Tn his joy and nirth seems to take notice of them. casu- al observer cannot but see poor men pushing JS lives, whselbarrows A fashionable man of age tumbles some 20 times over i ! a foot of place if he is forced to carry single box of tea. Eight boxes. and even ten, too, are seen on single barrow. Notwithstanding the advantage of 8 barrow a coolie has 1t IS exerbitant to drag along such heavily loaded car.
 Mercy is shown toward birds and beasts To stone a swallow is opprobrious in the eye of true Christian. Men fetching hen by the leg. haggelating beasts merciiessiy, over loading carts, and sxaoting labor from dis abIed nags and fined and punished in British courts of Calcutta and Bombay: and accord ing to some here exists the same rule in name and show.
 It is not iniquifons for the superior class to pity and protect beasts and, allow men segregated from the rich by wealth to remain in cruical tortures? Beasts rabidly goaded sometimes give winch, but jinriesha or Wheelbarrow coolie cannot; and suppose he can, he starves, and ultimately selects fine lodging in the tomb. It is in the hand and under the mastery of merchants and other men of business to lessen the weight and engage the services of 8 wheelbarrow stipen- diary, more for the sake of propinquity of blood, because all are men. We are from earth and water, and we shall be dissolved into them.
 To all those ealamities a lank wheelbarrow coolie, living on slops, is often brought on the point of dying by overexertion while keeping aside the car in order to avert 8 col lision with furiously and pomPously driven carriages whose drivers think to beat hollow another carriage further than bis own, meritorious, nay, quixotic exploit, and gssconsde.
 As the municipality grants license to jim rieshamen it would be 8 delectable and merciful act if rule to wit not to allow more than one man to sit iR it is sanctioned, and if it is sanctioned immediately actuated or brought into action. The niggard practice is done mostly by the Chinese, who sit two in number, one over the lap of the other, jog ginR as if en horseback with 8 box, a cot, etc
