The way Of the Parsees.

When Lord Randolph Churchill was
In Bombay little time since, he visited,
amongst other places of interest in the
surrounding neighborhood, the Towers
Of Silence. As q result of this visit the
following comments are TO be found in
scribed in the visitors book, with the
lords signature at the foot:
"At the requestof the secretary Of the
Palsee Punchayet, allow myself to ex-
press the opinion that funeral obsequiee
conducted in accordance with the teach
ingg and precepts Of Zoroaster, as they
have been explained to me, though Pc
culiar to q comparatively limited num-
Der of the inhabitants Of this earth, and
undoubtedly novel to the stranger from
the West, are entirely agreeable to the
principles of q pure religion, and may
be and are ingeniously and powerfully
supported by physiological science and
experience.
The Parsees, who are o very active
and rich class in Bombay, will no donbt
feel hattered that their practice Of ex-
posing their dead on the Towers, TO be
eaten by vultures according TO the 10
roastrian behest, should be thus favor
ably regarded by one so well known in
the political world Of the little Western
island with which their great empire Is
associated. The practice has certainly
much to recommend Il in q tropical
country; 1t is cheap, Clearly and ex-
ceedingly expeditions. Men, women
and children are put into separate di-
visions On the top Of the Towers: but
their bones. those Of the rich and poor
alike, mingIe in the well below, into
which they disappear in the course Of
time. Lord Randolph Churchill, like
many another European visitor, may
have felt the Towers rather GLOOMY
and repugnant sight; but the trouble Of
9 journey TO them is more than repaid
by the magnificent view 10 be had from
the terrace in front Of them, 81 Bombay
and the Indian Ocean.

Punishment in Corea.

A Japanese paper publishes the fol.
lowing descriptive sketch Of Oorean pun
ishments, by gentleman OF Isusbuna,
who resided in that country for several
years. The punishments are divided
into seven classes-decapitatio on the
highway, simple death, the exposure Of
the criminals head to the public, exile,
hogging, confinement, and confscation
Of property. The first two punishments
are, according to the established custom,
only permissible after the sentence has
been reviewed by Che king; but the ex-
traordinary course is sometimes followed
Of executing the sentence first and maxi
ing the usual representations as to the
crime to the king afterward. Provin-
cial magistrates, as we'll as governors Of
small towns, have thus power over the
lives Of the people, and, in consequence,
bribery and illegal punishment prevail
to an Incredible degree. All death pun
ishments are executed In the months of
September and October. On one occa-
sion when petty official was to be be-
headed on the highway for peculation,
the official who had pronounced the
judgment left the scene of the execution
before the sentence was consummated,
as il afraid Of the horrible sight, and the
executioner, in the attempt 10 behead
the criminal, cut deeply into q large
bone IN the mans left shoulder, and
could only extricate the blade by placing
his foot on the body, while the unfor-
tunate victim was shrieking with pain.
After repeated efforts the head at length
fell to the ground. The criminals sem
fenced 10 exile are transported either to
some uninhabited islands or to the small
isles in the jurisdiction of CoaI-la-do or
Hamgyong-do, to which criminals were
transported from very ancient times
There are three different methods of
dogging. The simplest process is to beat
the criminal with slender sticks. held In
both hands. The staff beating, or fog.
gfng the back Of the criminal with two
thick sticks, Is Q more painful punish
ment, and in nine cases out Of ten the
criminal dies. The third process con-
sisEs Ia beating every part of the body
without intermission, so that even the
most stoutly-bu man suffering this
punishment il manned, If he does not
actually die afterward.
